[@tommyhinzo7]

Hooray! I've been trying to find a copy of the original. I'm thrilled there's a second edition on the way!

[@morrigambist]

Thorough and clear as usual.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you kindly!

[@blindspot6823]

Ethnos was the game that got me into board gaming. Absolutely love seeing it get a second edition. I think these changes will make it more appealing too.

[@WatchItPlayed]

This one didn't get me into the hobby, but it really caught my attention when I played it, and I'm very glad it's back in print for more people to find, and hey, this could be someone's first game too!

[@peteshirey9816]

Great video as usual sir! Happy holidays to you and yours!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you kindly Pete!

[@henriwhitehead]

Great video! I'll have to finally try this one out.

For me, I kept seeing Ethnos as a top 100 game from a few different reviewers but I could never get into it due to the look of the game and the components, it just wasn't pretty. Saw your review pop up for this and not only is it considerably prettier, but after watching your rules breakdown, it makes it an absolute pick up for me next month! I've been a fan of your reviews for the longest time but due to this one, it puts a new game (least a reprint I never knew about) on my radar to add to the ole collection. Thank you so much Rodney!!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Very nice to know you found the video helpful - thanks for checking it out and have a great time playing when you do!

[@alexbgomes]

Colorblind-friendly!!

[@StarkMaximum]

Oh wow, the second edition is a complete visual overall of the game's overall aesthetic, going for a much more Eastern vibe than the previous game's traditional fantasy. The art is really top notch and gorgeous, but I still kind of prefer that old fashioned traditional fantasy vibe with my dwarves and elves, so I might try to find the first version...or just succumb to the goblins and get both to vary based on my mood. I must say, I do like the look of that bear tribe, tho!

[@breezerama]

Great video as usual, Rodney. I prefer and will be keeping my original version!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@elainetyger]

I've never played it before, but it is very pretty and you break it down so well.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Very kind of you to say - thanks, appreciate you being here!

[@BrettFit]

This looks like El Grande on steroids. I like it already!

[@chrisservais3226]

I talked myself into, and then out of, picking up the og Ethnos several times. Then once or twice for Archeos Society. I think at this point I should take the plunge -- even if it doesn't end up working for my gaming groups, at least I won't be second-guessing myself any more XD

[@fraserskomorowski2311]

I'm right there beside you my friend. Definitely getting this version! Anthropomorphic kung-fu animals!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Well, I hope you have a fantastic time playing if you get a chance to. I just taught it to some friends on the weekend and we had a great time!

[@AdKoolaid]

I know people loved the original, but what a solid reprint!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you enjoyed what you saw!

[@ripalexx]

Ethnos (Έθνος) in Greek means country.

[@WatchItPlayed]

I didn't know that! Thanks :)

[@donnakeferlis1649]

Solo!

[@TimQuintanilla]

I just went to PAX man, c'mon! Why Rodney?? WHY? Guess I'm pre-ordering this game.

[@WatchItPlayed]

So many great games, so little time!

[@jamessimpson7690]

@rodney - Tell Tom (SUSD) you do have a copy of Pax Pamir 2nd Ed.

[@WatchItPlayed]

@@jamessimpson7690 Oh, I already did: bsky.app/profile/watchitplayed.tv/post/3ld5geyluyk2q

[@frankdetank9126]

🥓🥓🥓

[@WatchItPlayed]

I was due for a top-up - thanks!

[@giuseppesavaglio8136]

Yeah. Finally a better looking Ethnos but i refuse to buy it, as ... i ...um, own...the old... aah, one. Sigh. Stop judging me.
