Thanks for the video!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

You bet! Keep them coming Ryan!!

[@damaddestgamer]

I was internally screaming when Naveen didn't complete the brown trail when he had a perfect card with an animal on it and he overlapped one of the red trails instead. But good showcase overall!

[@aidanmurray8283]

I’d love to see you guys play with the adventures expansion. This has been a dangerous channel for me. Showcasing a plethora of great games, especially the ones on Kickstarter, leaves me with fomo Love the videos guys

[@BeforeYouPlay]

I believe there is another playthrough that featured the Adventurer's expansion, so we were asked to do the Animals one. Thanks so much for your kind words 😊

[@jaybee0063]

Looks like another excellent game from Mr. Courtney. Great work, you two.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thanks, Jeff!

[@osmoduh]

I have no idea how I missed this game even though I have been drooling after pipeline for years and curious cargo was on my wishlist for a loooong time. Well, at least now I can buy it and do not have to wait for a year. Thank you for showcasing the game!

[@jamesmorgan1967]

I was pointing at the hiking trail you needed to finish, Naveen. Didn't you see me? 🤣(I also know it's easier to see things like this when you're observing, rather than playing in, the game.) This game looks easy to teach, accommodates big groups, and looks like a lot of fun. Plus, that travel case...! I'm in! (Thanks for another entertaining playthrough.)

[@Werock4roll]

I almost have as much fun watching you guys play games as I do playing them! :) Keep up the content! Loving it!

[@snapwilson316]

This looks like a lot of fun. Thanks for sharing!

[@SteveAMcPherson]

Great playthrough! Thank you.

[@TimmahRap]

Thanks you two! This was a great video to compliment the kickstarter page - and convince me to buy it!

[@randito2387]

Thanks for the play-through. Decided to pick up a copy based upon your video. Chaching! Objective achieved!

[@Cleansweep38]

I believe they changed the rules where you can’t completely overlap one card with another. Thanks for the play! I really like tile laying games that builds things.

[@benleague3115]

I love trail games. I loved Scouts as a kid.

[@BitewingGames]

Thanks for the video! I love watching people play. But hundreds or thousands of people analyzing your moves after the fact?!! Stressful 😬 Excellent work. 😁

[@dadanum8443]

I need to watch this. Bitewing seems to have some great games

[@jerrelc.thomas336]

What a wonderful simple little game I like it thanks for the playthrough😊

[@Cleansweep38]

I’m excited about my copy being shipped out soon!

[@johnfavaro8008]

So glad this is finally on Kickstarter. This was one of my favorite completely new to me games at Origins.

[@penguyen25]

Naveen’s shirt matching the box art is fantastic. From the looks of it it’s gotta be from Threadless. As usual an amazing tutorial and play through. Thanks again for another amazing video guys, although my wallet begs to differ as I look into backing another kickstarter.

[@ylein6508]

I am keen to get that tee, it looks like a mountain but it's made up of bkfast food

[@erynroston4441]

I was gonna say the same thing. Great T!

[@ponchomon4160]

When this originally popped up I thought the kickstarter had already finished and I had backed it but then I realised it was by a different company and the one I backed was called 'Trailblazer' haha. Great video by the way.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Haha yeah I believe there’s a few games with this theme all coming out that may cause confusion. Thanks for checking out our video!

[@starshocker]

I've only backed and pledged the John Muir trail version. But I would really love to play this Trailblazer. Thanks for this playthrough.

[@joshwomack1954]

I'd love to see fewer Kickstarter paid promotions. The majority of gamers don't Kickstart games and your reviews are really valuable to your viewers. I do love your ability to explain games and show gameplay in a way that that leaves me knowing how the game plays.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

I feel ya, but I will say that games like this one are exactly why Kickstarter should exist. It's a huge undertaking/risk for a new or less prominent publisher to take a loan/pull from savings to print 5-10k copies of a game that may sit in a warehouse unsold. It's kind of unfortunate that KZbin only allows us to slap on the "Paid Promotion" tag with no other verbage options. The way we view these 'promotions' is that companies hire us to both teach and showcase how their game is played so people will know if it is right for them. I hope that makes sense, and we really appreciate your comments and compliments! :-)

[@Flip5ide]

Oh nice! I'm really interested in this. Naveen, I have to ask, can you let me know where you get your awesome t-shirts? I see in the latest watch it played video you have an awesome t-shirt on as well.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thanks! I get them from a website called “Threadless”. They have sales every so often too!

[@stacie_everdell]

Just in time...thanks to both of you for reviewing this one! I really like the look of this one, but kinda pricey for a card game. The one thing that bothers me design-wise is that the hiking card not matching the color of the hiking trail, the way the other cards match. I wonder why the decision was made to introduce a different color.🤔 Ugh...all in all looks like fun. I may slip on this one. :D What'd you think?

[@melissab9209]

We played this over the weekend. We played so that all trail colors had to match (you can't have a brown trail connecting to a blue one like at 20:26) Did we make it much harder on ourselves or was that an illegal placement?

[@VulcanStitcher1701]

This game looks amazing. Is it available for purchase? I did a quick look at here at work but couldn't see anything Love your videos!!

[@itsGabrielaCristina]

This game does interest me, especially the travel version. However, I have been misbehaving lately with board game purchases so for now, I can’t back it 😂

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Totally fair!

[@Kankui3]

Around 17 mins, Naveen claimed a bonus for 2 camps. The image shows they are next to each other, does that not matter?

[@nickmurray5169]

You can surround the camps either with trail cards or other camp cards-both are fine!

[@Indiana_Knows]

Looks like Sprawlopolis.

[@stevebourne7337]

Mixed with a Carcassonne type vibe. Looks like a lot of the things I like in games. Shall give this one a look.😊

[@ilqrd.6608]

With a bit more interaction and one more level of depth of gameplay I would have been all over this (approaching 2.2-2.5 complexity)

[@teejleague3838]

Did I hear you two say that you both have full time jobs right now? @_@ AND you do all this?!?!?! How is that even possible????

[@KevinHoekman]

This is just not Naveen's game!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

No it wasn't lol!!

[@KevinHoekman]

@@BeforeYouPlay That's ok, you have others where you dominate!
