Libertalia: Winds Of Galecrest - How To Play

[@Tanks.With.Teeth.Malloy]

Really looking forward to this one. Everything is right up my alley. I love the 2 player set-up as well. That midshipman is an incredible but also simple addition.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Often times 2 player adjustments can get quite complicated. This is very straight-forward (we found).

[@MattMurphree]

As someone with a board game hobby (what others might call obsession or addiction), I frequently want every game you do a video on. This time though, I REALLY mean it. This looks so fun!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you enjoyed what you saw Matt :)

[@alisonwentland3765]

I also have a board game hobby and I recommend adding the metal coins if you can find them. They are sold separately by Stonemaier, the publisher. They add the “chink” factor. 😂

[@xdeacis]

Hi Rodney, your instructional videos are the best around, since way longer than I can remember. Thank you!

[@WatchItPlayed]

So very kind of you to say!

[@hackskellington104]

When you showed the solo components, I thought to myself ‘Oh my gosh! Is he about to teach us the solo mode!?!?’. And then I laughed and laughed….

[@WatchItPlayed]

I wouldn't want to upset the space-time continuum!

[@stompy15056]

Paula will come through. I have faith.

[@zm5705]

I always enjoy your how to videos! We are huge SM fans after trying scythe a few years ago and are in a mission to buy all their games. Thanks to you we learn quickly how to play

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for the really nice feedback - have a great time playing!

[@PoVisko]

This is the only acceptable way to include lootboxes in any game.

[@dbungart3044]

Thanks Rodney! This version looks better in every single way! Can’t wait to pick it up.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you enjoyed it D!

[@nunyabiz2889]

My wife and I love getting new board games, and every single time you are our go-to how to play channel. We thank you for that. Love the videos. 👍

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks so much for the kind words - so glad to know the videos have been helpful!

[@alisonwentland3765]

Thanks for the video, Rodney! I’m learning this to take to our local game store on game night. There are usually 6 of us, so a higher player count will work well along with a simpler rule set. I picked up the metal doubloons offered by Stonemaier and the “chinking” adds a lot to the game. I’m a sucker for upgraded components. Stonemaier’s production was so thoughtful. It’s much appreciated! Thanks for the video, Rodney! I read the rule book and did a practice play, then watched your video to make sure I had it right. The video clarified several rules.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Sounds like you've done your homework and you're ready to play! I hope you all have a great time with the game :)

[@frankdetank9126]

Just bought this game today. The first thing I did was to see if Rodney had a video for the game so I didn't have to read the rules. Thanks for all you do!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Have a great time playing Frank!

[@joesnuffy_2003]

I have the original but may drop it for this. I love the reputation system and better loot tiles.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for checking out the video Matt!

[@mukundmurali3018]

I've been watching these videos for a long long time, and I can never understand how the box flip at the beginning always ends up facing the right way.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Cardboard magic!

[@FunkyFoxGaming]

Libertalia is one of my favourite games. This looks like its adding more content without changing the feel of the game all that much at all. Thanks for the run through Rodney!

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very welcome - glad you enjoyed what you saw!

[@TheLimestoneCowboy]

You know it’s really happening when Rodney drops the “How To”

[@DullDishwater]

Looking forward to this one being back on the market!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Yes, it's one that people have been keen to see back again!

[@PGCole]

Still one of my favorite games to "warm-up". I like the new loot tokens and the reputation track. Such a great add to that game. But the old artwork is more my kind of style. All this colorful and shiny stuff doesn't fit my imagination of pirates.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for checking out the video - glad it helped you get a sense of the new edition.

[@PGCole]

@@WatchItPlayed no sir, I need to thank you 😁

[@tuntemon]

So this is basically Libertalia 2.0. Cleaner turns, easier to read effects on cards and tokens. More varied gameplay with more cards and diffrent number of rounds each turn. Also the fact that players get a more varied score at the end of each day makes a ton of diffrence. Then finally, the reputation track for tie breaker is far better than the version they had in the original game. The only thing that I miss is the scruffyness the original game had. Sky pirates are still well suppose to be pirates. I sort of wished that they went for a dirtier look, possibly a steampunk look. However, that aside. This is a great production and for those whom never did got the chance to try the original game, here comes a new version. I will certainly pick up this version too! Thanks for the video Mr Rodney!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad the video was able to give you a sense of this new edition!

[@TheFlood2009]

My daughter and I love your videos. Thanks for making them. Keep it up!!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Very nice of you to say - greetings back to you both :)

[@JacobWrestledGod]

[@WatchItPlayed]

Very glad you're finding the videos useful - thanks!

[@JacobWrestledGod]

@@WatchItPlayed exceptionally useful, the game just shipped to my doorstep

[@nathanevans4157]

I really like the design of this game, I look forward to preordering it on March 2!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Have a great time playing!

[@heavy_dice]

Watching this video to play with a friend’s copy. Seeing the COIN collection on the shelf, wishing you grabbed one of those. You’re the best Rodney

@@heavy_dice Thanks Shane :)

[@oliverspike]

you explanation are so clear thank you ! I was struggling to understand the rules

[@WatchItPlayed]

Very glad to know this was helpful - have fun playing!

[@Dizzula]

Normally, 2 player modes for bigger games are pretty stinky, but the Midshipman really adds a devious twist!

[@WatchItPlayed]

I thought this was pretty clever too.

[@eliumeldritch]

Nice job coordinating the shirt with the game

[@WatchItPlayed]

;)

[@ormhaxan]

I appreciate the COIN pride in the intro! How much does All Bridges Burning differ from the 4 player affairs in your experience?

[@WatchItPlayed]

I have played a number of the COIN games so far, but not that one (yet).

[@jasondoe5886]

Fantastic run-through really sets the scene.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you kindly Jason!

[@nkesteren]

Got Libertalia for my birthday, so this comes in handy! Thanks and keep up the good work. 👍

[@WatchItPlayed]

Happy belated birthday - have fun playing!

[@henriwhitehead]

Great video! I just heard of this game. I’m glad I get to see how it works.

[@WatchItPlayed]

It's been a favorite, but out of print for awhile!

[@GaryLutchansky]

Blah, blah, blah, Rodney teaches how to play games so well. Well, it's true and it bears repeating. The video is so flawless that simply watching it as a piece of art is rewarding. Thank you for the video!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Very glad you’ve enjoyed them Gary - thank you :)

[@GeeEmm81]

This is cool. Tried grabbing a copy of the original Libertalia a little while back without luck so this is perfect. Shame it’s not based on the water but I’m on board for anything pirate themed. Cheers for the video!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you'll be able to find this edition easier!

[@teejleague3838]

Great video, Rodney! :) As always, you are so fun to watch! :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks Teej - thanks for all the encouraging words!

[@BakedGoods]

Thanks for the video Rodney! Excellent as always

[@WatchItPlayed]

Very glad you enjoyed!

[@FrankMinogue]

We finally played Forgotten Waters. As we were talking, I am wearing an ankle bracelet now, so I am grounded from buying new games. As I look at this, I am not so sure I like it as much as what we have and the Kick Starter I am expecting. So I am not sure this makes the cut anyway. Of course, the video looks great! Thank you so much for all your help! I do like the mechanics of the game, and the two players rules.

[@ertai222]

Better than jail i guess

[@FrankMinogue]

@@ertai222 yep. And she is not leaving me. She enjoys the games I choose, so I have that going for me.... LOLOL. (I’m not really on an ankle bracelet, I just got in trouble for buying too many games)

Thanks Rodney! Can’t wait to get this one

[@WatchItPlayed]

Have a great time playing!

[@RAPPERScantSPELL]

So Rodney, in your example a character was removed from the island before Dusk resolved, does that mean that player doesn’t get to take a loot token during the Dusk Phase?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Correct!

[@VoidVerification]

@@WatchItPlayed Wow! So that Saber token's effect is doubly punishing. Vile! 😈

[@Cyrath89]

Looks like a really awesome game!

[@haywirewindgod]

This looks very neat. Thank you for the explanation.

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very welcome!

[@Duracelbunny]

Rodney I have a question. Do you ever sleeve the cards in your games? :D

[@WatchItPlayed]

Not too often. Only if the game requires a lot of shuffling.

[@keithsoules4740]

Happy New Year Rodney. My family and I played Libertalia: WoG and can’t seem to find clarification on the Sabre loot. Do you leave all characters on the island until the last loot is claimed. And if someone chooses the Sabre they choose someone to dispatch with and that person discards their character and lose their loot?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hi Keith I shot this long enough ago I don't recall from memory - do you have a timestamp for the section of the video you are asking about?

[@mrglwatson]

Got the game today, so this video is very useful

[@WatchItPlayed]

Have a great time playing!

[@roofustheman]

The art was not really what I was expecting. It’s good though, just different. The mechanics and components look great. I’m looking forward to trying it out.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hope you enjoy if you do get a chance!

[@filipemarques2965]

If there are 2 brutes, does the first cancel the effects of the second, or the two rightmost characters will eventually be discarded? Also: Are you planning on a tutorial for Now or Never?

[@WatchItPlayed]

A Brute would only cancel a Brute is it's effects removed a Brute before that specific Brute could resolve. That's a weird sentence, hopefully you can make sense of it :) As for Now or Never, thanks for the interest! I talk a bit about that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5XXdaisfrqUbKM&t=342

[@filipemarques2965]

@@WatchItPlayed In other words: if both brutes are the rightmost characters. Got it :)

[@RobertMulderNL]

Question... how many times did you have to retry the final take where you flip the box cover smoothly? 🤣🤣

[@WatchItPlayed]

Are you suggesting it's not the first time, every time? *gasp*

[@keithsoules4740]

You said on round 2&3 that one player draws a hand, like at the beginning, and everyone copies. What if their cards are in the graveyard, are they resurrected?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Would you mind providing a time stamp? I shot this long enough ago that I don't recall the context of the statement.

@@keithsoules4740 Thank you kindly Keith, so glad you've enjoyed!

[@shanematthews5332]

Since some loot tokens have negative effects/ consequences (for example the Relic), Can you NOT take a loot token when the dusk phase is resolving? Or does every character on the island HAVE TO take a loot token?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Everyone HAS to take a token, and that's where things get tricky, because you usually will NOT want to take a negative token, so jockeying for the order in which you get to take tokens is quite important.

[@rb4551]

looks fun. i think ill get this.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you enjoyed what you saw!

[@Dagens24]

Yo Rodney, random question but I've noticed you always have the dopest plaids. Where do you get them brother?

[@ryangerlach5956]

Great video.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks Ryan!

[@NathienSK]

Cool. They worked the tiebreaker variant into game and included ways to affect it (like the Beggar also giving some Reputation). Art if fine, but the bloody dirty pirates of original felt more natural. Now it's too clean, too sanitized to... not offend?

[@WatchItPlayed]

My guess is to increase the accessibility. But also remember, what one person finds "too clean", someone else will find "just right". It's art. Opinions will vary wildly from person to person. Helps to not take your own opinions too seriously I find.

[@JuanCastillo-yi4sc]
