Definitely backing the Kickstarter. Thanks for the great Talkthrough, Rahdo!

I think there even in the new book keeping rule. Refering to point no. 2 on p. 10. Both the AC and DC track still advance one space each if the AC/DC fame marker is in the middle for the player with the highest patent level. And for the player who has both of them, they advance each step once. Correct me if i am wrong

timestamp please

[@billlau9505]

11:12 This is where i think he may have made a mistake. Even the card says "Player(s)" with highest patent level.

Crap, I was really hoping for a summary/critic after an actual run through. So does the really address any shortcomings in the base game, or does this just add new ones?

[@claudiocoppini4881]

This looks awesome! So did you enjoy the solo play? Also, since it seems like the AI's actions are predefined, do you think it might become easy after a few plays to anticipate their moves? That could be a concern

[@rahdo]

+Claudio Coppini yes i did enjoy the solo. for my tastes, solo games need to be short, and this wasn't, but i can imagine those who like solo will get a kick out of it. i'm not 100% sure because my prototype rules are incomplete, but i think you'r enot supposed to be able to look ahead to see what the bots are going to do in future rounds. of course, if you play the game enough, you might memorize it, if you've got a brain like that, but i think what will be more likely to happen is that you'll largely remember that "this player tends to focus on AC, and likes to gobble up territory back east". this can happens with people you know IRL as well :)

[@claudiocoppini4881]

+rahdo Thanks for the feedback! Luckily (?) I don't have a brain like that so all good. Hopefully with six different inventors it's even more difficult to memorize all their actions. Solo play and less focus on the stock market is what convinced me to back this project, looking forward to it

[@joeldalangin2427]

This looks like a great expansion, when will it be sold to public?

[@rahdo]

+Joel Dalangin well it's being sold to the public right now via kickstarter :)

[@marcvenot5141]

There is a misspelling on the link at the beginning to the vanilla version (gamepaly).

[@rahdo]

+Marc Venot thanks for the heads up!

[@PabloPizarroJara]

did you try bot vs bot? (no human player) :D

[@EclecticCamel]

+Pablo Pizarro Let them fight to the DEATH

Have you ever considered laying off the caffeine?! :) You rush through everything so fast that you don't even read things correctly (example: 7:08 mark). Why such a rush? You would do well to enhance your calm and not appear to be so stricken with high anxiety. Great coverage of the details though!

[@rahdo]

i only drink water actually :)

[@TheKiltedKraut]

***** LOL...caffeinated water?! Seriously though, I can't count how many times you appeared so spastically rushed that you didn't complete your sentence that was explaining something. I like your videos but this one seems SO frantic...*I* had feelings of anxiety after only watching it half way. ;)
