Much faster play than what I expected. Having the best grasp of the meta on the cards is key to winning. Nothing like a refreshing point salad on a lovely spring day.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

Point salad for sure, and a few extra plays would definitely help with strategy. Not sure how many plays it will get, but a fun, quick game (depending on who you play with) nonetheless. :)

Somewhat ‘late to the party’ here with commenting from when you had originally published this video a few months ago, I know…not without its flaws, this is a Stonemaier Game that we do still like to play alot in our family! We currently own the retail version/edition, but I’m definitely looking to upgrade to the Collector’s version/edition components. …I’m a big fan of the books and super impressed by this game’s quality of card graphics/artwork (and, a lot/100+ of them, too)! In my opinion, the accuracy of the character depictions in the card graphics/artwork are on point and top notch; alot of attention to detail, for sure, and stayed true, I think, to the books (Fitchner’s bubble gum, etc). Thanks for the great video on this game! - Howie

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

Thanks Howie, and glad you are still enjoying the game! :)

[@AkmalGameAtion]

Lovely game to play if you have around 30 mins. Excellent addition if you are a solo gamer.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

Are you a fan of the books?

[@AkmalGameAtion]

@@DaletheCasualGamer yes Dale i have read the books and they have truly brought the characters to life!

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@@AkmalGameAtion I think that's what I'm missing, I haven't read the book. I'm sure that helps with the game. :)

[@stewartking9653]

I got my copy of Red Rising today. Looked up play thru guess who came up. You guest it hi Dale the casual gamer. The play thru was helpful

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Stewart King Glad the video was helpful, and good luck in your game!! :)

[@mathew1891]

The lack of sleeves tho 😂 Dale you hurt my soul 😛 Great vid!

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Mathew Haha! Those are oversized cards, I think Tarot sized. I thought about sleeving, but decided to see how many people I could scare without sleeving. ;)

[@mathew1891]

@@DaletheCasualGamer well mission accomplished! 😝 But I will say they are almost unmanageable sleeved, I had to print a custom 3d card holder for them not to fall over lol

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@@mathew1891 @Mathew My UberStax I typically use were jealous ... and let me know they were more stable. ;)

[@mathew1891]

@@DaletheCasualGamer yes I love my uberstax now because of you! The red rising are a bit wobbly. I have an awesome setup for my marvel tokens, it's a 2x2 grid for the trays with all the damage, threat and other tokens divided. Then on top I have two trays holding the three condition cards. I feel like I need more tho 😂

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@@mathew1891 I know that feeling. I bought at least 20 packs of the stax and 3 packs of the trayz. Overkill ... maybe. ;)

Another great playthrough video from Dale. Huzzah! Yours are the best out there, my friend. Straight to it, clear, informative and relaxing to watch. No superfluous babble-babble. Question: do you think a clever 6-8 year old could play this game (along with an adult or two)?

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

Thanks for watching! At it's core, it is set collection with a bit of reading comprehension ... so I think that age would have some issues with strategy, but depending on the adults, any game can be fun.

[@thesolitairegambit2556]

Thank you so much for doing these videos! I love watching play throughs! Would you mind telling me what is the card size of this game? Like MTG, Pokémon size?

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@The solitaire's Gamit Thanks for watching, very much appreciated. The card sizes are not the norm, some smaller and main cards are bigger than MTG. From their website, looks like There are a total of 123 big cards (65x100mm) and 25 small cards (57x87mm). Hope that helps and happy gaming!

[@greyhawke115]

They are the size of Seven Wonders cards. I just did a search for Seven Wonders card sleeves and bought those.

[@thesolitairegambit2556]

@@DaletheCasualGamer thank you so much for the feedback! 😁

[@Feldingor]

Hmm 🤔… at 18:18 you player Romulus to Luna. You could not take the Sponsor from the same location, you should have got a card from Jupiter or top deck, if I’m not mistaken.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Marco Tuzzi You are correct, good catch. Thanks! :)

[@DrDribs]

Only played it once with 4 players. Great game. Think it would work best with 3 minimum.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@DrDribs I'd agree, from what I've seen 3 and up would be best. Thanks for watching! :)

[@Bearable124]

Do you score Auto like a normal player otherwise? If so shouldn’t they get -130 for the hand over 7?

[@simpleroleplay2136]

Will you be able to solo Wonder Woman board games ? ???

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Simply Role play I don't have the Wonder Woman board game, but believe it was designed for 2 to 5 players. Hope that helps, and happy gaming! :)

[@simpleroleplay2136]

@@DaletheCasualGamer yes it for 2-5 player but you can play solo of it

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@@simpleroleplay2136 I don't own it, so unless it's in a store on sale, I probably won't be getting that game. Hope you enjoy it. :)
