Port Royal Gameplay Runthrough

[@BGBarbarian]

This is my group's favorite game. Quick and everyone is engaged on every turn. Instant classic.

[@TeChNoWC7]

Boardgame Barbarian I mostly disliked it

[@FlySC19]

Fun, clever game, nice to have the whole game in just a deck of cards

[@caomhan84]

Finally a video that explains this pretty well. I just got this game for Christmas and I've already watched 3 videos but I was still confused about all the nuances. I'm still confused in a few areas but feel more comfortable now.

[@adhilpatel440]

This one's been on my list for a while and I'll finally get to pick it up this week in Essen. Really looking forward to it.

[@thesaadi]

this is the best walkthrough 👍🏽. Good job

[@usgreth]

Hey, just to let you know admirals don't work if you go bust (the online version also does it this way), Jen should have got 2 gold from her admiral at 20:00 too ;)

[@PauloRenato23]

It was already noted... When watching a Rahdo video, please turn on the Klingon subtitles to see where Richard goofs up… Thanks :)

[@Xammblu_Games]

Jan 2022. Sure wish the big box edition would hurry up and get here!

[@KH-ft4ut]

Errata for every second move made in this simple card game. That must be some kind of a record.

[@stefanstefanovic7070]

nice game you played there. You have not taken in consideration a Jenny "Lady" card a lower cost for admiral in 16:05 :)

[@clumsydad7158]

clever little game, i only just realized the other day it's by Alex Pfister

[@TheMrE]

This great game has never had official distribution in the US. It makes no sense.

[@debos17debos]

Great video as always....

[@3ldfilms]

Have you tried World of Yo-Ho yet? Seems up your alley between pirate theme and super cool app integration.

[@rahdo]

sorry, too much PVP for my tastes

[@stephenc9475]

Great game, great runthrough.

[@fmoros]

just bought this one on its Korean version. I think it will become fav

[@shlomaster1]

fun card game, works well with 2, best with 3. I really enjoy it

[@KrisVerheire]

Should Jen not have benefitted from the mademoiselle when buying that sailor? The cost of 5 should have gone to 3 then, right?

[@PauloRenato23]

timestamp please so I can check it... but if it the cost was 5 she would pay 4 because the mademoiselle gives a discount of 1 coin

[@KrisVerheire]

21:18 and regardless this was a great video :)

[@TeChNoWC7]

Lol you wouldn’t have drawn and hit the black at 8:20, you drew coins first so you don’t know what would’ve came up

[@NYsummertimeCHI]

You say that what is on the other side of the cards doesn't matter to you, but would you be allowed to take a peak? That could influence your decisions based on how likely different colours are to show up.

[@rahdo]

i believe you are not allowed to peek :)

[@alexxpfister]

Correct, rahdo! And thanks for the - as always - great video!!!

[@Assie8911]

Hi Richard,a question. Is the ability of the Admiral only on your turn or on everyones turn. great runthrough.

[@alexxpfister]

May I answer? When it's your turn to take a card (also if another player is the active player) and there are at least 5 cards in the harbour, take 2 coins.

[@Assie8911]

thank you very much Alexander. Love your games.

[@Livewire91]

Hey Rahdo, do you have the board game called: Jorvik?

[@rahdo]

i've done a video for it :)

[@Livewire91]

rahdo Ok, thanks!

[@MrVK1980]

"oooooooh, taxes!" - pmsl

[@ericaschaidt8588]

Perhaps a silly question but it is worth asking before I order the game(s). Are there separate English and German versions if this I should be aware of? I see the German copies readily (obviously.) and wasn't sure if they were playable for those who don't fully "Deutsch sprechen" :) Thank you for these run throughs. They are a pleasure to watch and have introduced me to so many wonderful new games.

[@rahdo]

the german version comes with english rules :)

[@ericaschaidt8588]

Awesome. And the game components? Is there anything on them that would cause difficulties if not they are solely in German? I watched your run thru (obviously) and it seems like I should be okay. I just wanted to make sure we don't run into too many issues. Thank you so very much for getting back to me. I can wait to get this.

[@rahdo]

yup no probs at all :)

[@ericaschaidt8588]

Great! Thank you so much for answering my questions and so quickly. Have a great day and keep up the awesome work!

[@FlavioMarceloSousa35]

I just tried Port Royal for the first time and it didn't go very well because I was not familiar with the rules. 2 questions: a) Can I use the character's special ability everytime I want or just on my turn? b) My opponents can also draw 1 card on my turn, what if there are 3 opponents and only 2 cards left?

[@FlavioMarceloSousa35]

Ah ok question a) is cleared up, I can use the character's ability for the rest of the game and not just when I draw the character card. But can I choose not to use that special ability or do I HAVE to use it everytime? What about question b)?

[@rahdo]

b) the last player won't get nothin'

[@drborja86]

Great clip. Tnx man

[@bravoalley228]

I'm surprised that you haven't done a playthrough before. It has been out for some time.

[@rahdo]

yup, it just never got the votes...

[@scotthenning222]

now I know how I play 😁

[@FlavioMarceloSousa35]

It's a great game but too complicated for my students, too many rules and too many details.

[@Changsta31]

How old are your students? This game doesn't seem very overly complicated. If you're teaching young students, perhaps you can remove some of the more complicated citizens.

[@MassEffectFan113]

Students must be about 6...

[@Mister.Psychology]

It's a super easy game. They don't come more simple than this.

[@FlavioMarceloSousa35]

I believe there's an easier version called Port Royal Unterwegs. My students are not stupid and I never said that they were. They are, however, difficult, underprivileged and very tough to manage. Port Royal is wonderful and I love the game but it would never work in my classroom. I need games for large groups (+8 players) that are extremely simple, i.e. that you can explain in literally 10 seconds.

[@MassEffectFan113]

52 card pickup.
