So many curds in this tavrun!

[@un-ku_son]

Aww schnapp!

[@Officegamecafe]

I usually read the rulebooks. Pulled out Taverns last night to learn it, and after a rough week of work was just overwhelmed with all the components and setup. Packed it away in about 5 minutes, resigned to skip it this week at game night. Woke up, decided to see what good ol’ Rodney has to say, and now this is going to hit the table tonight after all. Love what you do. What a career - wanna trade?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Ha! I think I'd better stick with this :) Glad you enjoyed the video and found it helpful!

Thanks so much!

Not only a great game intro, but I love that smooth game box flip in the beginning of the video. Awesome.

My wife gave me this game for Christmas. Your video helped a lot in learning the set-up and rules! Love the game so much we played four games in a row!

It looks to be a surprisingly deep game for the light theme. Thank you for the video as always!

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very welcome!

Have played this game 5 times now. Definitely feels like a step up from quacks of quedlinburg. It's a solid lighter game

Best reviewer out there! I'm a HUGE fan of Rodney and if I have travel outta Brazil to a board game event my major wish would be to meet this guy! Thank for this wonderful video!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for the kind words here and on BGG too :)

[@blizion914]

Rodney, you always do such a great job explaining how games work. I have to say you're really good at your job and I always look forward to your videos (both Watch It Played and your Vlog). You're someone I would love to sit down and play a game with sometime if you're ever in St. Louis, Missouri,USA. I wish we had some board game conventions here.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks so much for the kind compliment! Nice to know you're enjoying the vlog too :)

[@yanivgoldstein3875]

It looks so good that I just ordered a copy from Amazon :) That's exactly the kind of games I was looking for , Thanks !

Superb instructional video as always Rodney, thank you! Just picked this up and looks like a fun one that should be relatively easy to learn and get to the table...cheers!!

[@WatchItPlayed]

I hope you have a great time playing!

[@Fishtank33]

Looks fun! Love how the player boards slot together and how you turn them over to upgrade. Very neat!

[@WatchItPlayed]

YEah, that's a very satisfying part of the game play, to be sure. Makes you feel like you're building something.

Thanks for the kind words Benjamin!

[@tyrussleightholme7261]

Wow you have really perfected the box twirl

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you kindly!

[@TheGameBoyGeeks]

Another great explanation Rodney! Juggling those coasters without dropping any die looked like a dexterity mini game! Not to mention the flipping of the box cover at the beginning!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Ah, thanks so much Dan - glad you liked it (including my little juggling act).

[@1Dreamking]

This was so much easier to understand than the rulebook which gave me a headache.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Cool vid

[@uweeickert8061]

Rodney, how many attempts did it take you to flip the game box and catch it right side up without looking away from the camera?!? Wow, that is true professional talent. I watched it 5 times and am amazed.... Hmmm... now what game was this? Oh yes Tiefenthal, one of my favorite towns in the area! Great video.

Just bought this game. Punched it. Watched Rodney's 'How to...' video. Sorted!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Fantastic - have fun playing!

[@chrisharris3520]

I own that same flannel...

[@Szerszenix]

I've just gotten the game 2 days ago and it's amazing, but I'm not sure whether I do the beer/coin thing correctly - what we would do when the turn was over was counting the beers/coins left and available for storage (so 2 beers/coins before upgrades) and store those, then reset the counter for the next turn. Say turn 1 I had 1 beer/coin left, I would store those and reset the counter, so if I had a surplus of +2 beer/coin by the end of the 2nd turn, I would store those as well and have +3 beer/coin in total stored going into turn 3 - is this how it's supposed to be played or the limit doesn't reset between turns? Otherwise, I love it already and thank you for a great video!

[@WatchItPlayed]

The limit (2 before upgrading on beer and coin) is the max you can store overall. Hope that helps.

[@wanlinhuang8465]

Amazing video! Really helps me to sort out how I can explain this game to my friends =) I did nothice though, was the counter guest portion missed out??

@@wanlinhuang8465 That's covered here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oauuaqOCZsqbn6M Rather than try to explain those symbols individually (which I felt might be unclear at that point int he video), I felt that was best to leave to the players during their first game.

[@wanlinhuang8465]

@@WatchItPlayed ahhh I see. Thank you!! Cheers

[@greengravety-dx3071]

How many times did you flip the box to get that perfect?? 🤩 dedication love it!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Are you suggesting I didn't get it on the first attempt? *gasp*

[@anthonymodak2957]

So at what time would you spend coins and beer? When you perform an action or towards the end of the phase?

[@WatchItPlayed]

At any point during the phase. I would typically activate a spot to gain what I needed, and then spend it right after on what I want, and then activate something else and spend what it generated, etc.

[@zqueen3871]

My only complaint so far with this game is that I wish they had some tracker or pieces to represent the number of gold and beers you have to spend on your turn. I would add up my gold, moving dice off those spots as I went (so I knew it was already counted), then do the same to add up my beers, and fully forget how many gold I’d just counted. This game already has a nice tactile element, so I think little gold coins or beer pieces would be a fitting addition. We resorted to using the unused or spent server dice as counters.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Yes, this has been a common request :) I think getting a few substitute tokens, or using dice as counters is a great idea.

[@giladnadler]

Can you get discount for upgrading the bear storage? The barback goes there but there is no small icon of discount. And thanks for the explantion! We played the game yesterday with your help

[@WatchItPlayed]

If there's no small icon for a discount, than that area can't be discounted. Have fun playing :)

[@giladnadler]

@@WatchItPlayed thanks!

[@marianneduguay7658]

Is the set up the same if you play 2 players? Do we put 4 white dice on the coaster?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Yep, you still put 4 white dice on the coasters. I can't remember off the top if there are any changes, but if there are, I will have mentioned them in the video.

[@alexanderlenschmidt6567]

11:31 what are these coins called? I cant figure out, what word rodney is using there. In the german rulebook they are just called doubloons

Do The Quacks of Quedlinburg visit the Tavern of Tiefenthal?

[@WatchItPlayed]

I like to think so.

[@dennyofthepines1457]

Just finished the game. It was a lot of fun even though unpacking it and setting it up the first time was a little intimidating with the high piece count. Great quality, but the zip bags for the parts don’t zip very good? It’s a bit lame to say and I would make fun of me for saying this publicly, but I had a surprisingly hard time closing the bags when putting it all away…

[@WatchItPlayed]

It could be that the baggies weren't the best quality - I forget what mine were like!

[@VinegarAndSaltedFries]

Is there anyway to track how much beer the bareback provided or is it just supposed to be remembered? Edit: Nevermind answered Game looks amazing. Do wish beer or coin tokens existed though everything else is so amazing it would have pushed it over the top.

[@tobimessmer3619]

As you lose every coin and/or beer at the end of your turn that you can not store, i think that the designers felt that tokens would not be necessary. And they would have made the game a little bit mor expensive. I have played the game many times and it works well without tokens.

[@55wownow]

@@tobimessmer3619 I agree. An unnecessary faff to use tokens as they're spent straight away or stored each round.

[@55wownow]

As I suggested above, just use two 20 sided dice to show your beer and money each round.

[@mattlowder]

i want it.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you liked what you saw - thanks for checking it out Matt.

[@jaredlucev4481]

I'd love an expansion for it, but they need to make sure it includes beer and coin tokens. For me, and many people like me, it's much easier to focus on the game when I can generate my resources all at once and then spend from that pool. Less work trying to keep a constant changing string of numbers in my head and more focus on my actual choices. Sure, I could just make my own, but the art is so great here that I'd be willing to pay for tokens in theme.

[@WatchItPlayed]

It would be a nice addition, to be sure!

Right? :)

[@bones2323232323]

Seems kinda clunky to not have beer or coin tokens to help keep track during turns. Looks like the game can get quite mathy as it progresses. Easily fixed with tokens of our own, just a bit clunky.

I think the word is SchAWWps, not Shaaaps. It is a type of liquor. The a is pronounced like an “O”. Like schnOPs.

Depends on where you're from. Some say sh-naps, and some say sh-nops.

[@FrankMinogue]

Watch It Played I never knew that, eh? How many kerds are in this game? I noticed there are no rezources as well? I never heard anyone say snaps. But I cannot say you are definitely wrong. I just have always heard shnops. Anyway, I punched all the parts today, and bought a little fishing organizer for the smaller parts instead of bags. I am alone in Oklahoma and don’t know when I will be playing it. We have been playing Architects over the FaceTime, and I have played it solo. My daughter didn’t seem to excited about the Harry Potter game. My son and daughter are with my wife today celebrating Christmas, and I am just sort of feeling down. I am thinking about playing Tapestry with Automa. Haven’t played it With Automa yet. Or maybe just go for a walk and go to bed....😔😔😔😔😔
