Theseus: The Dark Orbit - How To Play

[@Scubasgamecorner]

Great game choice Rodney , I just got Theseus for Christmas , and your videos are going to help

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad our timing worked out :)

[@Dresden76]

Nice how-to! I love the time index, too.

[@WatchItPlayed]

I feel like that's been a helpful addition to the instructional videos - glad you like it.

[@BakaLogic]

Just purchased this game today based off this video. Looking forward to the play through. Thanks for the rules explanation!

[@WatchItPlayed]

I hope you have a great time with it. Be sure to come back for the play through, we'll need your expertise!

[@Crabble1337]

Looks like a fun game, can't wait to see the playthrough!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hopefully coming soon :)

[@Yrulon]

Looks very intresting and tactical, im looking forward to watching this, especially to see how it plays with 2 playres.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hoping to have the first gameplay up by the weekend.

[@vojtasjedyny]

Thanks, that was very helpful. Will you make a video about Robinson Crusoe, another Portal game?

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're a prophet! I did end up making one for Robinson (and several other Portal games ;) )

[@vojtasjedyny]

@@WatchItPlayed Oh wow, I posted this 7 years ago. Thanks.

[@frankb513]

This seems like a decent game to teach people who like trouble or sorry. Moving around in a circle punishing your opponents. Might pick this one up when I can afford to :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

+frankb513 Thanks for checking it out!

[@lonelongboarder27]

Having a tough time finding this one, but I do want!

[@WatchItPlayed]

I believe in North America it is distributed by ACD. You can check to see if your retailer has an account with them.

[@shadowmagus0413]

Wow, seems like a lot to digest but I am really excited to see the gameplay video.

[@WatchItPlayed]

I'm really excited to get started with it. I beat the guy I'm going to play it with the first time we played together, so I know he'll be out for blood!

[@gee3161]

The game looks quite interesting, just a query though, is there a sort of rock-paper-scissors mechanic with the factions? i.e aliens scientists greys marines?

[@WatchItPlayed]

No, I wouldn't say so. We'll have some gameplay episodes up soon, and you'll get a chance to see how they function in practice.

[@MrLexicon1971]

Well done.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you Jim!

[@Kizer5Red]

Thanks Rodney if you'll play this I'm rooting for the Greys

[@WatchItPlayed]

I think we may play Aliens versus Marines.

[@FMD-FullMetalDragon]

I have a question... in your plays of this game that were two player games have you ever seen the End Turn token reach the final spot that ends the game? I haven't played the game yet but it seems that with two players the End of Game token wouldn't ever reach the final spot because there are only two players.

[@WatchItPlayed]

My first game with Matt ended before we had wiped each other out if I remember correctly. I really depends on how many cards that cause damage get installed and then how well the players can maneuver to avoid them. It may also depend on how good the players are too, lol - and I certainly don't claim to be good :)

[@deathtrap1996]

You should play Runewars on this channel. Trust me, you won't regret it!

[@WatchItPlayed]

I have it, but haven't learned it yet - so we'll see.

[@MrTandtrollet]

The link to the FAQ is out of date =( Great video! =)

[@WatchItPlayed]

Victor Pluntky Thanks for the heads up - the link is fixed now.

[@jimmaynard619]

Just bought this for £15 new, need to give it a play now :D

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@BirdExplorer]

This game looks awesome! Might have to purchase it to enjoy feasting on scientists myself.

[@WatchItPlayed]

lol - I hear they are tasty :)

[@BirdExplorer]

***** Ordered it from Amazon; It arrives tomorrow! This will be my first "Sci-fi" themed board game and I'm really excited to use those Vents and Tentacles as the ALIENS infect the space station!

[@ROOKTABULA]

Just got a new, open box copy for $15.00!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Nice deal!

[@iggyeo6458]

Another season of WiP... Rodney, Stop Making Me Buy Games!

[@WatchItPlayed]

lol, I promise I'll cover some games this year you won't like :)

[@KhanGarth]

this game seems hard to grasp, but so far it seems like the Scientists are possibly the best (or one of the best) to play as?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Each Faction has its strengths. The gameplay episodes may help bring everything into focus for you.

[@Tasarran]

I like the theme and the art of this game, but the weird 'backgammon' movement turns me off... Seems an odd mix of abstract and non-abstract.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Yes, definitely has some abstract elements as well.
