Stardew Valley: The Board Game - GameNight! Se9 Ep5 - How to Play and Playthrough

[@DevilboyScooby]

"I need to make friends, but I've got nothing to give." I feel you, Lincoln 😢

[@Happy2Plan]

I literally can’t tell you how glad I am that the group is gaming again in person. Don’t get me wrong I love the lives and Date Night but the group back feels great!!!

[@dogfooddevin5538]

53:08 Nikki (about Shane): "He might have a little bit of a drinking problem..." Nikki, you've got no idea xD

[@mikeshomegardening8150]

With the second printing, the creator made moving down the mine easier, plus, getting hearts is easier because everytime you donate to the museum you gain a heart.

[@metacross2826]

In the newer version of the game, I believe that whenever you donate to the museum you get a heart, which is so much better and makes the trip worth it

[@DanielHansen_Toulouse]

I liked how Aaron looked into the camera during explanation. Great to have him back. I enjoyed watching this.

[@ClaireBee82]

My game arrived today and thought I would check yt for a good instructional vid and watched every minute of this. Really enjoyed it

[@Sajatzsiraf]

You know that feeling when you are sure you are not interested in a game but still cherish every second of a video for the people involved. Thank you guys and lady!

[@Ozziewald3]

The rule book actually does state that it is possible to catch more than one fish during one action if your roll matches up with the card icons. So if there was one fish that needed a junimo symbol and one that needed a heart symbol and you roll two hearts and a junimo you could actually take both of those fish. This is in addition to catching as many crab pot fish as you are able, so you could technically clear out the entire fish track in one action if you got lucky enough ! (And if you had enough inventory space) :)

[@the_luggage]

Longest intro ever, haha. Great to have you back, guys, thanks!

[@MisterVercetti]

Wow, that came down to the wire! Congrats on the narrow win! Also, though it didn't really end up impacting the game, I want to clarify the Mixed Seeds item. You don't plant the two crops like you did; you just get them outright, so you could've just plopped two pumpkins (or whatever other crop you wanted) into your inventory for free.

[@mastasheepu6214]

Stardew valley is one of my favorite video games. Please play more of this!

[@Muhd_Akmal]

Love how different the thumbnails are

[@boardgamegeek]

Thanks! I really wanted them to be clearer visually. Decided it was time to make it happen. Thanks for the note and for watching. -Lincoln

[@davidarnott4850]

YES! I love them, too!

[@CityRoastGames]

While I didnt watch the gameplay portion of this, the first 35 minutes where you explain the game was super helpful! Thank You! EDIT: Minor detail...you had the season card draw pile sitting in the discard space.

[@trooper6762]

That was an intense ending. I accidentally jumped ahead to the review portion and thought, from what I heard, that you ended up with the opposite result. It was crazy to see that last roll!

[@SnackCakes]

An absolute nail biter. Great video, start to finish. I'd watch you guys play this any time

[@Derek-le4er]

Watching this video *WHILE* listening to the Stardew Valley soundtrack in the background is peak living my best life. Great video by the way!

[@pixxelwizzard]

I have never played the video game, it just didn't appeal to me, but my daughter has spent hundreds of hours on it. I'm a huge board game fan but she's only mildly interested in them, so I bought this game to entice her to play more! Much to my surprise, Stardew Valley the board game looks like a lot of fun and I can't wait to play it. Thank you for this fantastic video!

[@mrawesomeDK]

"You've got the cat, you make the rules". LOL, I see what you did there :-D

[@panosliakos3653]

My No.1 game, from my favorite team. This game never makes me feel bored or tired; either as a player or as an observer. Although I'm a (exclusively) solo player, I watched your session and I really enjoyed it! It was such a pleasure! Thank you for letting more people know the delight named "Stardew Valley"! :)

[@wideveed]

I know what I'm doing with the rest of my day! Glad to see you guys playing together again

[@jacobdubourg3916]

I love how you guys did this video can’t wait to get my copy of the game

[@MemoryException]

It feels like a good time to start in-person game nights up again!

[@schoko-fan4370]

Wow that was intense. Maybe you could make it easier, by taking one more season card each season

[@robertcrist6059]

I'm not sure how often you do replays of a game, but it seems like this one is popular what do you think about doing a customized seasons deck to your liking, maybe pre-setting some Grandpa cards which have you not in the mine and do more museum stuff, pick different jobs etc. Surprised during the review none of you mentioned anything about length of play. I've seen three plays of this game which all finished with reviews and two review only videos and the top remark is how luck dependent the game is, quickly followed by the game length and everyone mentions they wouldn't play the game with more than two people because at three and then certainly at four the scaling the game makes you do is ridiculous. Literally never heard of this game (pc) and then decided to watch the game play videos mentioned above and this is quite cute. This game (board) seems more like an activity than a true game, but with that understanding still a nice time. Thanks for the play (and maybe another haha). Also, I cast a second thumb for a Star Wars: Outer Rim playthrough

[@SenetTheSnek]

Krobus HATES forageables.... I'm sorry but WHAT?! He loves Horse Radish! XD XD

[@hellraiser338]

That got really tense at the end. Looks like a fun game I should check it out some time.

[@dkiprijanovski]

I'll be honest, Only Gamenight and Board Games can make Farming fun for me! :D Great playthrough!

[@shinjial]

Yaaaaay! Just saw that you won the game on that roll! I was very tense then, and got really happy Nicki got the roll you guys needed.

[@Jonathan-fw6ty]

Great game and great crew!

[@Hunderworld]

I laughed at the most randomest thing ever. when Lincoln receive a forgeable that is an Artifact @ 2:33:30 , after being explained to he proceed on to say " its Ancient that sword" @ 2:33:55

[@hiho8084]

"I want heart, heart, or heart, Junimo for bug meat." When will you EVER hear that statement? Hearing you have a serious discussion about bug meat is priceless. "We HAVE to get this bug meat!!" So are many of the other hilarious comments made during this game. ["I need a blueberry to make a friend."]😆 Fun to watch! Exciting ending! thank you!

[@somethingelsedoesmatter]

I'm months behind in watching this, and I'm only half-way through the gameplay explanation at the moment, but this is giving me some Robinson Crusoe: Family Farm Edition vibes, at the moment.

[@jacksonh0989]

I just started playing stardew valley a couple weeks ago wooohooo

[@JellyJerryy]

loved the intro!

[@somethingelsedoesmatter]

37:49 I'm gonna use that line on my wife sometime. lol 42:25 "I've got wood for the fire" - haha, Robinson Crusoe reference, I like it.

[@rand0mgirly]

Good game. Really good game.

[@daniel-lh6uz]

Another fun video game inspired game is Binding of Isaac 4 souls, it currently has a kickstarter right now for a large expansion!

[@lilmonster90210]

I kept pausing and squinting on the board to differentiate between different fish sites (aaron didnt mention), and I thought it was that green fish (that looks like a frog) icon, but NO. it is TRIANGLE, CIRCLES, SQUARES lol. Thats what i get for obsessing over details and sometimes zoning out to the GameNights.

[@Hunderworld]

3 hours plus treat!! you're spoiling us

[@No-tw6qj]

Lincoln's stares like he just had 4 bowls, but only one of them was cereal.

[@kwouters]

After seeing Aaron here and in The Loop GameNight videos, I was thinking, “Man, there’s something about him that reminds me so much of that one guy from the Istanbul GameNight video. I wonder if they’re brothers or something.” After rewatching the Istanbul intro, I discovered the truth! 😃 (The Istanbul GameNight was posted in July of 2014- almost seven years ago!)

[@qingreadching9722]

they keep forgetting to use the silo thing to store unused things

[@SumSouuthernSugar]

Excellent teacher. :-)

[@WillMlliW]

Nothing more rewarding than winning a long game with a tense moment at the end! Thanks for the video!

[@MarjoleinVeenendaal]

This looks fun! How is the replayability of this game?

[@boardgamegeek]

We've had a lot of fun in our subsequent plays. The varying goals make the game fun and challenging.-Lincoln

[@faiz7752]

oh god that clutch

[@starcloak]

OMG yes, a three hour long video. Game seems intriguing 😁

[@AdvaitaVedantaHUB]

'i did my jerrrb' ahahah, will subscribe because of the southpark reference

[@upowlnight]

It feels like Uwe Rosenberg helped create this one 😄 Looks really fun!

[@BladedEdge123]

A game like this is a lot of fun for its theme. However I always deduct points for a game which can come down to if I lose to a single dice roll. It can be really thrilling in the event that you win but it can be very disheartening to the point of not picking the game back up again if you go through all that effort and and then lose anyway. Granted you could say a lot of games come down to a final dice roll but in a game like this it can feel like that final dice roll can make or break all the effort you spent. It still seems worth picking up for anybody who's a fan of the video game and likes board games which I am one of and there's a reason this thing is sold out everywhere. It's five out of five for theme. But I think mechanically it might be a 3 1/2 out of 5.

[@Jonathan-fw6ty]

I think that as long as everybody is aware that the game has heavy RNG elements, and is ok with it, then it's fine. Personally I love these types of games where you have to change your strategy and adapt because of bad rolls. It also allows for a lot of diversity between playthrough, which I enjoy.

[@shunster]

I always imagined an episode where you guys bring wil wheaton on as a special guest to join you guys at the table. wonder what that would look like...

[@mikeprince6685]

Lincoln wearing the Zelda shirt in honor of that Nintendo Direct we witnessed yesterday!

[@VTrucker777]

I play at tabletopia Wonder how yoy reset the board after a game Like all those different pieces in one red bag Whilenat tabletopia you just click restart, done

[@VTrucker777]

Full day training solo before i try multiplayer tomorrow I play at tabletopia

[@SundayLaughs]

I was one of the lucky people that managed to get a hold of the first print of this before it sold out, and I've been enjoying it for months now. I'm so happy this is three hours so I can get even more enjoyment out of this game :) So happy to see more videos with you guys back at the table!!!

[@mikeshomegardening8150]

In the second print release, Concernedape did a tweak to the rules to balance the game a bit further. You should check it out and see if the pdf rulebook on the site has the new changes. Cant wait till my copy arrives!

[@TheCroCroDil]

Isnt the rule that only 1 player can get gift from a friend ? Cause first time the goft showed up on seasons card , you each took a gift from a friend .

[@GamingMickey]

Each player can take One Gift from their friends so it's good for everyone to make a friend early on so 1 friend each vs 1 player having all 3 for example, as you can only activate one gift per player.

[@TheCroCroDil]

I see . Thx

[@alexandermelo2918]

I think the guy fishing should’ve shifted the strategy to help you the others like mining

[@silmaraferreira6175]

Oh man! I’d love to have this game! I love playing Stardew Valley and when I heard about the board game I got so excited!!!! Unfortunately, Brazil’s industry for board games is not so big, so I don’t think I’m gonna be able to have this game for me in a long time…. I googled and it’s only sending to USA. Feels so sad… :( 😢

[@boardgamegeek]

Silmara, it has only had the first release so far and that sold out in less than two days. I'm sure they are going to print a lot more and I bet international versions are in the works. Thanks for the note and for watching. -Lincoln

[@DanielHansen_Toulouse]

So Aaron, at 19:55 you were saying that you cannot give Harvey Milk? 😋

[@blockchainrevolution2016]

I really love watching this gaming group's GameNight! I bought Wingspan last year after watching you guys play. Great job on that one! May I make a special request for Isle of Cats to be played "competitively" by 4 players on GameNight? There is a demo of the game, but the creator Frank West was playing for both players and that was already a lot of fun. Would really like to see the group interaction with that game here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p6TXooysgtVrf68

[@draft13]

I absolutely love the design on Nikki's shirt.

[@StevenHunter777]

Greenscreen?

[@amiramdan5033]

pls do star wars outer rim 😁

[@Yawgmoth81]

First here, really want to know how to play this

[@ConraDargo]

Plenty of videos available that will teach you! :)

[@thelastmotel]

Got a copy of this coming tomorrow, and there's no Dave in this video, so that's my next few hours sorted :)

[@Jermafide]

Lincoln has an awesome shirt! Gah! I want it!

[@wedge47]

I have to know where that Majoras Mask shirt came from...

[@boardgamegeek]

That shirt is from TeeFury here: teefury.com/products/tee-mens-basic-moon?variant=31058686804034 . One of my go to shirt sites. Thanks for the note and for watching.-Lincoln

[@wedge47]

@@boardgamegeek Thanks for the reply Lincoln! Definitely checking out that site now! Been a Stardew fan for a long time now (300+ hours into the video game), but have not been able to get my hands on one of the board games yet... stupid scalpers...

[@gejyspa]

3 hours of game coming down to a single die roll. You should have just rolled that one roll three hours ago, and then go do other things ;-) (Also Lincoln's "I need a friend" sounded very pathetic :-D )

[@boardgamegeek]

It’s about the experience! And I do need a friend :-) -Lincoln

[@gamingxmachina6718]

Continuity error when explaining how to play the game...we saw into the future.

[@SumSouuthernSugar]

Nikki and Shane...Sitting in a tree... ;-)

[@Fatkitty1]

Can Aaron stop telling Nicki what to do. Like he keeps microing this whole video...

[@WolvieXXXZandalari]

Wish this game has been organised better. No shipping outside USA. Even my friends in USA couldn't get their hands on it. Looks super fun, just impossible to get a copy of it. (lol @ Ebay copies going for over $300.)

[@boardgamegeek]

Wolvie, there is a reprint coming soon. The initial print run was sold out in less than 2 days. It is a fun game though! Thanks for the note and for watching.-Lincoln

[@WolvieXXXZandalari]

@@boardgamegeek Hope so. Its certainly a boardgame thats on my list. Co-Op Boardgames are a love for myself and my group.

[@ConraDargo]

@@WolvieXXXZandalari They need to solve a few things like slightly broken components, bad quality, and how to actually ship the game outside of the US. That's why it's taking so long! Also since the game have received some (well earned) critique for its random output rather than input, I think that the designer is even looking into making a few changes to the core rules.

[@LukaMgDraws]

100 hours? That's low

[@dextardextar]

nikki like dead weight lol
