La Isla Gameplay Runthrough

[@bryanbarton77]

As a fellow Feld fan, I'm looking forward to picking this one up and adding it to my Feld collection: Castles of Burgundy Amerigo Trajan Bora Bora

A cute little game, quite colourful and a playful theme.

I started laughing because I'm tired and was listening to this inthe background as I worked. When radho said "My desire is to occupy as many tents as possible"... Then he started saying "my dude" a lot, which...well... Figure it out.

I am glad I own this little Gem.

This doesn't look all that much like a Feld game to me, but I think I still like it. Seems like it could be a good gateway game.

[@UncleMilo]

Awww... you shouldn't call Jen a dodo! (Hee hee!)

[@cleanliving1612]

Maybe YOU aren't hunting the creatures or taking them back to a museum, but as a rigorous British empire roleplayer that's what MY little army of white guys will be doing.

[@dreadknot69]

I originally saw the theme and thought my kids would love this. I think this would be hard to play with the kids, unfortunately.

I know I'm extremely late to the party, but I think you may have explained a rule incorrectly? I think each time the marker moves up a space you get a point for each of those animal tokens that you have regardless of which numbered row it is in. I may be wrong, I'm still trying to learn the rules (which is why I'm here 😊)

Was that at 14:23? If so there was already a Subtitle made for that goof in the Klingon Subtitles... This is an older video so Rahdo doesn't ask at the start for the viewers to turn on the Klingon Subtitles to know when he goofs up but from now on you know that when you are watching a video from Rahdo you should always turn on the Klingon subtitles to see on the screen when Richard makes an error. If it wasn't that mistake at 14:23 please let me know when it was so I can check it. Thanks

It looks like a fun game; however, when I play I will proudly play my characters as a team of conservationists, wildlife heroes, made up of scientists, veterinarians, and zoo keepers who travel to La Isla to find these animals which are on the edge of extinction in order to study them, and bring back pairs for their breeding and release program, while also educating the public to raise awareness and gain support from other conservationists... you know the way it is in the real world. :) It's thanks to great conservationists, and the great zoos/aquariums, such as Steve Irwin and his family's zoo, Jack Hanna and the Columbus zoo, and animal experts at places such as Sea World, and Busch Gardens, it's because of people, and places, like them that many species are thriving in the wild more so today than 50 years ago. IMO those working to help the animal kingdom, are being good stewards to our earth, and are conservation heroes, so when I hear someone who plays board games for others to watch knock those who love and care for animals which is hard work for little pay, it really bugs me. Can't your videos just be about sharing your love for this hobby? I mean if the theme of a board game bothers you that much, you don't *HAVE* to review it. It's not like there's not thousands of others to choose from.

[@rahdo]

i am genuinely, thoroughly confused by your post.

[@meechibell9602]

Sorry, I was tired and obviously not clear in what I was trying to say, my apologies. Within the first few minutes of this video you point out that these game characters are not people who are there to hunt the animals but are scientists (which in my book would include people working with and for zoos), and then you go on to say they are not there to gather animals to sell to zoos either (@ 2:33), and then continued to say you didn't want to harp on it but again mentioned, @ 2:49, clarifying that these are not hunters, they are not poachers, and added in that they are not zookeepers, and this is what upset me. IMO associating zookeepers (which are also animal scientists, zoologists, wildlife & marine biologists, and wildlife conservationists) with the likes of hunters and poachers (aka exotic wildlife murderers) IMO is just plain wrong. I let several others in my family listen to the beginning of this video, and they agree that it definitely sounds as though you are placing zookeepers in the same awful boat as those who want to kill exotic/endangered wildlife, and it's very upsetting. IMO hunters that kill exotic and/or endangered wildlife are only about the "thrill" of the hunt so that afterwards they have their trophy and bragging rights for killing a defenseless animal, and animal poachers are among the lowest scum of the earth, while zookeepers make it their mission in life to study wildlife to educate the public to bring awareness to the hardships of wildlife and what we can do to help wildlife conservationists save endangered animals. Therefore, I do not understand why someone would want to even place zookeepers in the same breath with hunters and poachers; as though they were just as deplorable as hunters or poachers. Most zookeepers I've met, spoken with, and followed over the years, would place themselves in harm's way to save an animal while hunters and poachers would put other human lives in harm's way, even murder people, to kill an animal for their own personal gain. Anyway, I found it upsetting. Now with all that being said, I do enjoy your videos, and think you and your wife seem like lovely people. Had PETA not been attacking places I love, and people I look up to such as Jack Hannah, for the past several years, I might not have commented. I usually don't comment on social media even when I do read something upsetting, but to compare poachers/hunters to zookeepers... ugh, it was too much.

[@rahdo]

i would include the scientists working at zoos as scientists working for the greater good of species as well, and personally I find PETA to be a reprehensible organization. i would say in a perfect world, we wouldn't have zoos because we wouldn't need them, but we don't live in a perfect world (same thing with state sponsored trophy hunting)... i'm not a 'harambe should never have been confined in the first place' kind of guy because i believe things are not as simple as that. i see where you're coming from based on what i said in the video, and i definitely could have worded things better :)

[@rahdo]

taking on board your feedback, i just made some tweaks (i'm limited in what i can do with youtube's tools)... check those timestamps now :)

[@meechibell9602]

Thank you Richard. I completely agree with you in regards to your comments on PETA, perfect world, and Harambe. :)

[@TheMan-jd3uw]

If you get triggered over hunting animals in board games...I weep for our society. When we play, we hunt them....because....it's a game. Jesus what's wrong with people.

[@rahdo]

ah, the irony of someone being triggered by their disdain for some someone else being triggered. delicious, sweet irony! breakfast of champions!

[@joshwilliams5342]

This is such a bad explanation he’s all over the place and won’t stop talking about a theme discrepancy

[@rahdo]

not surprisingly, he disagrees with your assessment
