Esther Chung-Ferguson You should probably become a feminist first. Go to college for 4 years. Focus super super hard on your career then start shopping for men at age 31 whence your fertility window is closing... only to find that all the good men are taken by then. Then get some cats, let them pee on your bed and play Twilight Imperium with them.

@@cameronmcpherson6364 You have made some incorrect assumptions about where I am in life. I have 2 university degrees, I have an established career, and I have a good husband. I was trying to say that I like Glenn Rittenhouse's comment, and joke about having a ways to go before I can do the same... But what were you trying to say??

I wanted to play for YEARS. Opportunities to play were like… once every few years. And something tragic kept me from playing for some six or seven years. Then I finally BOUGHT the game, studied the rules a month later, and then… roped five people into playing it. We all LOVED it. We played it again, the very next day. A week later I got a single mother who games a little, and her son to play with me, by saying: “play with me for an hour and a half- if you find it boring and want to stop playing, we’ll just stop, no questions asked.” Started playing at 11:00a, and the next thing we knew, it was 4:00p, and there was no question: we are absolutely finishing this game.

This was very good and professional if you get what I mean, I kinda forgot that I was watching the same channel that got me into board games with silly cooking/review hybrid videos. Very interesting to see the process that goes into making these complex games, I didn't think watching people discussing box sizes in a board room would be so entertaining.

Excellent work guys! It was fascinating to see the progression of FFG through the lens of Twilight Imperium. We need more of this kind of insight into the people behind these games. Also, Matt, huge shout out to you! This kind of project is extremely time intensive, and the editor rarely gets the proper recognition (talk to Jonathan and Ben about that one...). You did a fantastic job.

This was fantastic. These days I have the attention span of an ADHD-riddled mayfly, but this was so well edited that I barely noticed nearly an hour had passed until the mini-doc ended. It would be a real shame if Matthew never got to make another long form video as he clearly has an incredible talent for it.

I don't know how I ended up here but I'm so happy I did. I haven't played the game since 01 or 02 but me and my brother bought the first ed and all the expansions that came out with it. Use to play it all the time it was a game that the group we played with had to build up to. First was Diplomacy then it was Risk and Axis and Allies and finally Twilight. I miss those days.

I understand it was very hard, but it was worth it. It's hard to see this kind of thing working for games of smaller scales though. There's just not That Much Other Stuff going on in most other games coming together. But, as a developer looking at kickstarter it is super cool to hear thoughts about it from inside the industry, and choices made on principle rather than pragmatism.

Haha I love the concept artist, as a Game Artist myself I get exactly how he feels. A lot of concepting is, if you enjoy a design, trying to see if you can sneak it in if it meets opposition haha, because sometimes the people saying "Yes!" to the design aren't artists themselves, so they want something familiar when you wanna push for something more creative. Sometimes it works! Sometimes you purposely make something "bad looking" expecting them to want the old design back, but uh... then they love it... and youre more mad at yourself haha. Concept is a struggle haha.
