Watergate GAME PLAY - Watch It Played!

[@BoardGameCo]

But Seriously, this is awesome. Monique and Naveen are excellent, this is a solid addition.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thank you, Alex!

[@BLOODYGORILLA]

Man it is the YEAR of Naveen. He's been killing it in the multiverse.

[@eebo63]

What a great new format this is. Two of my favourite games channels now working together. Rodney is the best gamesplainer out there and Monique & Naveen are clear and excellent at presenting game play throughs. Long may this partnership prevail. 😄

[@kylenelson6141]

Enjoy this collaboration. I feel like there is always a need to see games played and explained while playing. It makes it easy to understand the game when you hear what people are thinking. One note is you asked people to turn on the Klingon subtitles, but they don't exist yet. You might want to create them when you upload the videos. Maybe having a place holder that you always add to the video. Then update as needed.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Something we'll discuss - thanks!

[@henriwhitehead]

This is such a great collaboration between two stellar channels! Not to mention, they are playing a great game. What could possibly make this any better? Nothing.

[@kovray]

This makes my heart so happy! Perfect addition to the channel.

[@ameritrashtalk36]

So real talk, my husband does not watch play through (I like them), He watched this whole thing! You all are awesome and we can't wait to watch more. I loved when you were talking about the cards you hate, it is so relatable in a game to have "THAT" card. Great work as always.

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad this was a good fit for both of you :) More game plays on the way!

[@tenacioustadpole]

Yay! Happy to have you both here!!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks Tony!

[@monstermash4324]

Yaaaay!! Love this collaboration!! So great! Welcome to Monique and Naveen and bog love to the Watch It Played family!

[@Chris-ro2pu]

Very good Play-through! I’m excited to watch more of them on this channel!

[@austindailey2549]

Monique and Naveen are rad. Good move Watch It Played!

[@beorik]

YES!! Great job Monique and Naveen, this is great! I love the narration of play and the Klingon subtitles are a brilliant idea. Plus an excellent choice of game! Looking forward to more, thanks!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for joining us!

[@ccmonter]

Welcome to Watch It Played, M&N! Really enjoy your channel and am very happy to see this collaboration.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks Christian!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thank you so much, Christian!

[@Mrhofer]

Great to be getting even more Monique and Naveen! Good to see this game in action too, probably going to have to run it by my partner!

[@TheDiceMatrix]

First of all, I think Monique and Naveen are a Great addition to Watch it played! Totally enjoyed the play thru, however a few things I noted about gameplay. I don't have Klingon but @8:47 Naveen doesn't remove "Cancer of the Presidency after playing it as an Event. He plays it again @25:28 as an Event again but does remove it then. Monique played the Event "The Saturday Night Massacre" @13:30 but moves the Initiative token instead of an Evidence according to the last sentence instruction. I am not beyond error, please correct me if I am mistaken. Keep up the good work!

[@WatchItPlayed]

That looks right - will update the Klingon - good catches!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Ahhh thank you for that catch! Naveen loved that card so much he snuck it into his discard instead =P

[@ahabwolf7580]

Wow that was really easy to follow and I even feel like I understand most of the rules of the game without reading the book. Well done!

[@PaulaDeming]

This was so fun to watch and now I really want to play Watergate again! Monique, I felt your pain so hard on some of those turns--I was flashing back to when I played the Editor against Matthew and he totally kicked my butt!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thank you, Paula! It's definitely a game that makes me want to demand a rematch haha

[@SanjuroSan]

These playthroughs are such a good learning tool. Very enjoyable to watch this whole video and now feel fully confident in the rules. Thank you all for all your hard work, the video quality is amazing as well!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Very kind of you to say Sanjuro!

[@BeforeYouPlay]

Thank you so much! We're so glad you enjoy them =)

[@Arahmon1117]

Fantastic to see you guys over here as well. Best part is more playthroughs of great games. Love it as always!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you're enjoying it Arahmon!

[@mih2]

What a great back to back video with Rod's rules. Great work!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you kindly Matt!

[@danielcorn4178]

This is a really great video! One note, it's not giving me the option to turn on the Klingon subtitles, only the English auto-generated subtitles.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Klingon will be available if there are any corrections that get caught. Something we might need to clarify.

[@Dizzula]

@@WatchItPlayed Yeah, for sure

[@wildeflower1977]

Excellent as always, Naveen and Monique! Truly Game Partner Goals.

[@kimoro9643]

thank you so much for this! I have this game and haven’t been able to figure it out yet lol 😝🤓 great video!!!

Stoked about watching this tonight! Great game and a hearty welcome to Monique and Naveen!

That was great! Well done. Though it's weird watching Monique and Naveen finish a video and then hearing the Watch It Played outro music! Haha!

It's a brave new world :)

We have been wanting to pick this one up. Great Playthrough, putting it in the cart. :)

@@WatchItPlayed It's pretty push/pull. Maybe Emily and I will Twitch stream it so everyone can watch us get frustrated with each other. :)

[@charlesvalentine9638]

Monique and Naveen, make sure they keep the fridge in your dressing room stocked with name brand ginger ale. You guys are stars. Canada Dry! Accept no substitutes.

[@BeforeYouPlay]

No joke I once went to a restaurant and asked for ginger ale, they offered me 1/2 coke 1/2 sprite... 😳

[@charlesvalentine9638]

@@BeforeYouPlay barbarism, plain and simple.

[@SirNichosis]

I've always loved Rodney's videos because of the wholesome, kind feel to his videos; as well as the thorough explanations. Monique and Naveen so far feel like a perfect fit in the exact same way, goes right along with the feel of the channel!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for the kind words Nichosis!

[@haydenvanrys2599]

Wow, this is everything I wanted from watch it played from way back in mansions of madness 1st edition days, just evolved. So glad the gameplay videos are back!

Hey, that's wonderful to hear - glad you're enjoying!

[@JerSingsandReads]

Great video! I definitely want to get this game after watching.

Thanks for this. There was one rule I wasn't sure about and watching your game has explained it.

Very glad it helped Ann!

I own this game and have played it several times, but I definitely enjoyed watching your video! I welcome you to Watch it Played, I am going to check out your channel as well. I am always looking to learn more about upcoming games, and I like your chemistry and your filming! Thanks for the great video and the great game! What a close game! I was on the edge of my seat!!! We rarely see games that close. We usually get more witnesses out right away to ensure more pathways....

[@omgwtforz]

Wow! I noticed a big step up on the production on their playthrough. No more random obvious cuts.

[@distantbabble]

Woot! Awesome people on an awesome channel!

[@cadekatsuda3852]

There does not seem to be an option to turn the Klingon subtitles on. There's only English subs. Not sure if it is just me but I thought I would let you know. Great gameplay you guys, awesome to see you on the channel.

[@WatchItPlayed]

They should be there now - just getting the hang of this :)

[@DanielLopez-ep9ex]

Awesome! Looking forward to more videos.

[@thomasachhireddy8483]

Exciting playthrough :) im actually interested in that game now. Not sure what replayability of it is though, but it looks fun.

I've played it quite a bit, but of course, everyone's tastes might be different there. Thanks for joining us for the play through!

[@lynnburke2266]

Oh NICE TOUCH.. the Watch it Played Wooden Logo on the Mantle there! Now just need Dexter there to make an appearance & this will be the BEST boardgame channel partnership ever! 🐾🐕🎲

Lol..oh if you're not sure who Dexter is.. he's their cute lil dachshund dog 🐕 aka the channel's mascot 🐾

[@WatchItPlayed]

We await his appearance :)

[@BeforeYouPlay]

LOL! Dexter tries to sniff the logo pieces from time to time. Maybe he's hinting something haha

[@BoardGamePerspective]

Nice job! Need try this one out!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for checking out the video!

[@MrTroxel]

I liked this a lot. Have you considered doing a longer game/video? I love to indulge on long gameplay videos.

[@WatchItPlayed]

We hope to cover a variety of titles :)

[@69robtaylor]

Well they’ve got a 2.5 hour play of On Mars and lots of others in their own channel.

[@shinjial]

Niiiice! It was great seeing both Monique and Naveen here! Looking forward to this series. Also, Naveen won again! Now about the game, I feel the gameplay is super interesting and tense, and there are a lot of agonizing decisions to make - and this playthrough was an excelent showcase of that. But the setting puts me off so bad. It's not interesting at all to me. I hope someone will reimplement this system with another theme/setting.

[@Fahdingding]

Wow... I really enjoyed this playthrough. That's it I'll gonna buy this game right here right now. 😊

[@chriswalter6040]

Hi - I think this will be great add for Watch it Played! One question (since I couldn't figure out how to turn on the Klingon subtitles) - Early on Monique moved an evidence toke to the 5th space and immediately pinned it to the board. The rules say to do this for initiative and momentum tokens, but not for evidence - I think it should have stayed on the track until the evaluation phase. . Did I miss that in the rules? Keep playing!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hey Chris, yep, evidence tokens are also moved immediately to the board if they hit the 5 space. You'll find this covered in our tutorial video as well - hope that helps, and thanks for checking out the game play!

[@karenbaumgartel6077]

Hi Rodney! My kids and I just watched one of your videos for the first time (Machi Koro). Was very helpful! Thanks! We live in Germany but I am Canadian from BC and thought after listening to you for a bit that you sound Canadian, maybe from the Maritimes? How you're doing well...

[@WatchItPlayed]

Well done - born and raised in Halifax, now in PEI :)

[@wl5609]

This game's been on my radar for a while. It looks fantastic! Way to go the criminal..... I mean, Naveen!..😉

Hope you get a chance to try it! Thanks for joining us for this play through :)

[@danvenables4935]

I don't remember Naveen ever cheating on their channel before, but he saved it for a how its played video! 24:00 he does both of the "or" conditions on the card, and 25:30 he replays that awesome president card. No wonder he won- naughty Naveen!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Good catch! Travelling right now, but will update the subtitles with those corrections when I get back.

[@jcw59able]

Really excited for this! Hoping to see how the Editor actually wins

[@arefalhammadi463]

Great Gameplay. At 9:03 Naveen forget to remove Cancer of the presidency from the game after using the event.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Yep - good catch - we've added to the Klingon!

[@MisterNorthernCanuck]

Great first video :) Also, I'm just curious so I might as well ask, because it'll drive me nuts... Are you guys from Montreal? I feel like I can detect a bit of french in Monique's voice, is that possible?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you enjoyed the first video!

Nice..just picked this game up a couple of weeks ago. But still havent played ;p

[@WatchItPlayed]

[@GretSeat]

Wait, when you gain an evidence at the end, that has a momentum symbol on it, you move that momentum 1 space prior to the new round starting?? Holy crap that's powerful, we played our first game wrong then
