Sand | Board Game | Playthrough | Review

Join Anthony and Frances as they play through a 2 player game of the Sand board game.
In Sand, players put themselves in the shoes of these intrepid desert travelers who travel the paths of the board and visit the different towns. They collect goods to take them to other places and thus earn gold for the transport service. They cross the dunes on the backs of their faithful caterpillars, which, cared for, will grow and help players complete their tasks more effectively. Along the way they will be joined by helpful companions and be entrusted with missions that, if completed, will bring good benefits at the end of the journey. Help the plants take root again, and perhaps there is still some hope for this desolate place...

Thanks guys for your time to play Sand, and thanks for the kind words, great job on your first game, really well !

[@AntLabGames]

Thank you! We really enjoyed this one!!!

[@diegoteran]

Hi, I'm so glad I discovered this channel thanks to this game. Subscribed immediately! It was a nice playthrough! Just two rules which I think might be important for your next plays. 1) I think you still needed to play a full day (3 turns each), after the top mission cards run out. 2) You do get a song bonus per delivery, but the rulebook says that you have to deliver all the good you want to deliver at once. So on the last delivery at the docks, I think it should have been the songs bonus just once instead of 3 times.

Ditto

You weren't kidding about the density of this game. My copy arrived yesterday. There is a LOT of game in a smaller box. Thanks for the playthrough. It looks to be very exciting to play!

"Nobody wants to hurt their worm". Hey, I saw that little side eye action. :-)

[@florjangjolaj4436]

Been so interested in this one but shied away from it because I heard for some it takes way too long to play and that it's overly complex. Board game reviews are so subjective, some people have a hard time learning the strategy of a game, some people get A.P., some people are disinterested which makes the rest of the table have a less than stellar time. It's not possible to get an "objective" view of a game since humans are much more diverse than that bahaha. Thanks for the video, been watching more of you guys. Love the down to earth homey vibes.

[@tlance4480]

Thank you both for this wonderful play of Sand. I've been on the search for one to figure out how I can learn it and teach it to others

[@richardevans9504]

Love your guys videos, but need to have Francis player board on screen. Can’t follow ….

[@georgeresso6835]

devir has been hitting it out of the park lately....lacrimosa the white castle 3 ring circus kutna hora ancient knowledge salton sea sand....

[@pauljackson7872]

Kutna Hora is CGE and Ancient Knowledge is Iello. Outside of those you are correct, they are doing a great job.

[@jacklightfoot1591]

@devir does a lot of international publication/distribution. So does Iello mind you. But I know that Devir does Ancient Knowledge in some countries. So that's probably what they mean.

[@georgeresso6835]

@@pauljackson7872 devir put out spanish versions but yes CGE and iELLO....

[@bookaddict777]

I just received my copy of this game yesterday, so your video is very timely for me. Thanks!

12:26 😅🤣😂

[@robertobc1396]

Great game ty. Sorry for being a party po.. but you played only 5 rounds instead of 6. On page 8 of the rulebook, it says that for 1-3 players, there are 6 turns. In this last round, no mission cards are placed, and the upkeep is not done (no prestige track bonus for turn order; I think turn order stays the same, or plants get replenished on the board. The dice still might get rerolled by the current first player in this last turn but I'm not sure because the reroll of the dice is part of the upkeep too) and then at the end of this round 6, the game ends. I believe there is a typo on page 10 because if you play until there are no more mission cards, the game will end on turn 5 (as you understood it I imagine), not 6, as page 8 says. The designer should clarify this so everybody is on the same page (pun intended 😂).

[@DuncanFx]

Thanks for sharing the playthrough, the game looks really interesting. I've been on a Devir kick too lately (currently loving Salton Sea), so fingers crossed this one clicks with me too.

[@improg]

My copy shows up this Friday (release day). I can't wait to get into it. Thanks for the preview.

[@nicholasvanaria8043]

Definitely going to be getting this after seeing this. Love your play throughs and honest opinions!!!!

[@darrenkisgen9506]

How would compare this to 3 Ring Circus?

[@davidhemming7492]

I see Hegemony on the shelf - still in the shrink! Planning a playthrough? :D

[@AntLabGames]

At some point yes!

[@nobuthatsme9201]

This looks great!!

[@georgeresso6835]

long rules are hard to present in a linear form....really!? sand 3.23 on bgg for weight the gallerist 4.25...yet the gallerist literally spells out each step of each action...
