In this video, we're going to learn how to play Sekigahara! If you have any comments or questions, please do not hesitate to post them in the KZbin comments below.
NOTE: At 11:26, the forced march in that situation would be illegal, because earlier I had benefited a highway bonus, and then chose to travel on a [u]road[/u] for the forced march (which would negate the highway bonus). I could have force marched further to the west though.
NOTE: When gaining a leadership bonus from a leader block in your stack, you only have to declare that a leader is there, you do not have to actually show your opponent (though you must be honest!)
*NOTE*: Leaders who deploy without a card are immune from Loyalty Challenge.

Thank you for this great tutorial, Rodney! The game has been sitting on my shelf for a year, but now with your help it became digestible at last. :) I have one question about the rules: in 9:20 you say that you have to show the leader (or one of the leaders) to your opponent in order to get the leadership movement bonus. If you split this troop during the movement how (or can you) keep it secret from your opponent in which one of the two (or more) groups is that leader now?

I guess this can also be replaced by honesty, right? Especially if you trust each other. :) (Sorry for re-sending my question, but I think it was not sent by KZbin one month ago. We played this fantastic game yesterday, and we were following this "double honesty" rule. I hope we did it right.)

Question in regards to movement. Say you discard one card to move three stacks. When you have say six blocks in a single location and you wish to split them up so they don't all move together. For instance, I want to split the six blocks into three stacks of two. Does moving each stack of two count as one of my three movements? Or does the original stack of six, splitting it up into three stacks of two blocks each going different directions, count as a single movement action? For reference, the question came to me when watching the movement explanation at around 6:11. I'm assuming from the point at around the 11:00 mark, that it all counts as one movement, but wasn't sure. Thanks so much for doing this video! I've been wanting to get into some war games and bought Sekigahara solely because you did this video.

At 13:57, don’t understand how the two-block-group can move from Suwa to the south. It starts with 1, +1 leadership = 2 movement from origin in Saku. But it departs its origin within 5 blocks, meaning -1 movement. 1+1-1=1, so it stalls in Suwa after moving its one step. The road (not highway) south is not available. Right?? (However, I think their compatriots can continue west on the highway, via +1 highway bonus.) Bonus question: Could you spend a card to force march just those two blocks that additional step south?
@WatchItPlayed
@WatchItPlayed 3 жыл бұрын
A great question - at the point I split and move them, I was just trying to show that even if I split them into smaller groups, they would still keep their original -1 movement due to starting as a group of 5. It would have been better to just take the 3 blocks off and moved them to Kiso, and left the other 2 in Suwa as I made that point, because as you say, those 2 blocks technically couldn't have moved (unless I had spent a force march on them). All of this to say, I think you've got a great understanding of movement!

May I ask one question? According to the manual section, 7.3.4 Leadership, It says 'If a castle is used, it must be aligned (matching colour) and controlled by the active player...' So, that means, even if I capture opponent's castle (let's say I am a group of dokugawa then win the siege of Sanada's Ueda castle), in the movement phase, I may NOT use it for leadership bonus. Is it correct?

Hey Woo, unfortunately I shot this long enough ago that I wouldn't know for sure without looking it up, and I lent my copy to a friend. You might need to check with the publisher on this, or the BoardGameGeek forums. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

Would love to play this but how balanced is the game? Just from the video, it feels like Yellow has a significant advantage with an extra pool of Mori units and the fact they win ties at the end. Does black have any starting advantages to compensate?

I don't tend to weigh in on questions of balance (I find gamers can come up with pretty differing opinions about this over various games). For questions of balance I generally look at how much the game is being played, and if it's been around a long time and still doing well, that's usually a sign to me that players aren't finding the game to be unbalanced, even though new players may have some balance concerns initially (usually because they haven't explored all the strategies yet).

For a game with secret information, I wish the yellow pieces were all the same shade so you couldn't deduce which piece was which after multiple plays...
@keithkrummel9344
@keithkrummel9344 5 жыл бұрын
The yellow blocks are actually painted a gold color, which is a bit reflective. I believe that the lighting/camera set-up is accentuating the reflections, making some gold blocks look like are different shades. In person they are all a uniform shade. Of course, the blocks are wood and each has a unique grain texture, if you looked at them closely enough. My only quibble about Sekigahara's appearance is that while the blocks are gold, the stickers are yellow.

Risk, but with a different map, no wrap-around, no RNG once combat starts, hidden unit strength/value, card-based deployment of forces in combat, and almost every other possible difference than "both are map-based wargames"... but yes, other than literally everything but genre, the two games are basically identical.

I did try to do some research on the correct pronunciation, but many of the sounds are natural to my native Canadian English, so I likely fell short quite often. The primary objective here was to teach the rules of the game, so hopefully I succeeded in that.
