River Valley Glassworks - How To Play

[@CamObscura88]

My copy just arrived so this is perfect timing! Can’t wait to play.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Have a fantastic time!

[@MsGinahidesout]

I just picked this up after watching this video. It's gorgeous and I can't wait to play!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Have a fantastic time :)

[@elainetyger]

This seems like it would be a really good solo puzzle or two player game

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@KnakuanaRka]

This looks pretty interesting, although given the river setup, I was expecting there to be a mechanic where pieces would move down the river to the lake.

[@toweypat]

House rules :)

[@KnakuanaRka]

@@toweypat Yeah, I could imagine a number of interesting changes to make with this. For example, maybe only some number of pieces are put back in the lake when you take from it instead of totally refilling it, but pieces also flow 1 space downriver each turn, with those in the last river piece ending up in the lake. However, that might cause some problems with leaving the first space empty (since the game is designed to never leave spaces empty), so you could fix that by having anything that overfills the lake go to the first space, or just draw one or some number and put it in the first slice after they flow downriver. There’s a number of things you could do with that.

Nature is strange!

​@@KnakuanaRka nice idea 👌

[@henriwhitehead]

Great video! Looks like a cool game.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for checking it out Henri!

[@remconet]

Are you going to do one about Unconscious Mind? That would be awesome.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for the interest! I talk a bit about that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5XXdaisfrqUbKM&t=342

[@hamizannaruto]

This has a similar vibe to azul. Sounds like a treat to play!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for checking out the video!

[@laughterandcarwashes1191]

Agreed! Just played this one on Thanksgiving weekend with my family and my gf and I thought it’d be similar to Azul too. Though this game is a bit harder to manage when it comes to planning both your board and endgame. We played twice and it was requested to be brought at Xmas too :)

do different animals have different abilities

[@WatchItPlayed]

When playing in the solo mode they do.

[@brunoareastoledo]

Hey Rodney, will you ever make a video teaching players how to play chess?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for the interest! I talk a bit about that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5XXdaisfrqUbKM&t=342

[@MikuFan039]

Been waiting for this one!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Coming soon!

[@NancyIhasz]

Do you have to collect 4 pieces from the lake, could you take less or does it need to be 4?

[@Hammy1813]

Has to be 4

[@MammaSomari]

Exactly 4, since any excess pieces you collect go to the overflow space.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Yep, as others have said, must be four 😊

[@MakeTimeForGames]

Thanks for another fantastic teach. I just got mine yesterday! I’m excited to try it tonight

[@WatchItPlayed]

Have a great time playing!

[@StarkMaximum]

What a neat looking game! I'm such a sucker for games with shiny, pretty components, and this one seems like a fun little puzzle-solving tableau builder! I like it a lot, thanks for teaching me Rodney.

[@WatchItPlayed]

A pleasure to get to share it - thanks for the kind words!

[@BoardGameDave]

Really enjoyed playing this one on BGA! I'm sure I'd love it even more with the fantastic glass pieces! ☺ Thank you for the teach as always, Rodney!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hey hey, hi Dave! Thanks for the kind words. I tried it first on BGA too :)

[@toweypat]

This game looks adorable :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@RemisRandR]

Hoping this one gets here before thanksgiving in Canada

[@WatchItPlayed]

Fingers crossed!

[@pavelslavchev2000]

Hey, I should be getting mine this Wednesday (living in Montreal). I hope you receive your soon.

[@RemisRandR]

@@pavelslavchev2000did you get yours? Don’t have a tracking or anything yet

[@Treearch1]

Got mine last week

[@pavelslavchev2000]

@RemisRandR hi, yup it indeed arrived last Wednesday 😀

[@daniellebackus819]

Played this game with one of my friends who likes fairly light-weight games and her mother (who is likely 60-70 years old). All three of us liked it at lot!

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad to hear you all had fun with it :)
