Well thanks! I don’t tell anyone.... I secretly love the low subscriber count.... it makes for less negativity and a more personal feel 😀

thank you thank you thank you for this playthrough. The rulebook now makes total sense. Huzzah!

[@TomTeachesGames]

I'm so glad! Thanks for taking the time to comment!

[@Hero19093]

I have never watched a complete hour in youtube until today, good explanation and great video!

[@TomTeachesGames]

Thank you so much! (sorry for the delay... I needed to step back for a while, and I'm just catching up on comments.) I hope you've been having fun playing this one. I really really enjoy it.

Great play thru and awesome storage boxes! Well done!

[@TomTeachesGames]

Thank you so much! It was quite the project to take on, but I’m glad I did!

[@rudybotha4398]

Thanks for the great teach and the diy storage. Made mine today. 🙌

[@TomTeachesGames]

You're absolutely welcome! I hope the crafting went well! I need to get this game back to the table -- it is so much fun! I just don't really have people in my circle who will appreciate the design the way we do.

[@7uF12]

Yes! Keep them coming Tom!

[@TomTeachesGames]

Thanks Jay!

Thank you for your wonderful playthrough. I have been looking for a great playthrough to understand Whistle Mountain. I have a much better understanding on how moving up the tower works. Initially I was moving it just one square not to the next level. It's been several years since you've uploaded, are you still enjoying it? I got all excited with the red players combos. That's definitely my favorite part. As I have been trying to learn I wasn't seeing the combination. I was just seeing the straight actions. I got Whislte Mountain for Christmas because I am a gigantic Luke Laurie fan. Anyhow, thanks again for taking the time.

One question I have about the rules is whether you can put an airship across multiple machines, or do they have to be on a single machine? I probably missed a lot of details - I'm a little under the weather right now - but I did pick up a couple of things: 59:57 red should have got a second card for buying two machines that turn 1:03:16 what happened was probably legal, but why didn't red use the free build rather than paying 2 water for 2 builds? There's also a lot of routine bad optimisations that I noticed on the way through - for example, blue's last build got him more points by placing his meeple higher, but also got red a significant number of points, so blue only gained 1 point relative to red, while taking fewer points but stranding the red meeple could have earned +4 or +5. But that's tactics/strategy rather than rules, so not really relevant to the video.

[@TomTeachesGames]

So, the machine HAS to be completely on one machine. It cannot be one more than one. Thanks for those catches! I’ll annotate ASAP.... Get feeling better!

[@MrChrisevans9738]

Machines not covered by water remain on a waterlogged machine after the water rises. I noticed you took the red piece off after your mistake where it should have stayed on the board.

[@TomTeachesGames]

Thank you very much! I’ll try to get that annotated
