Yokohama Full Playthrough - JonGetsGames

[@DocMaieuti]

I find this play through to be one of the best ones I've seen this year, and I love the steady camera and editing you are differently one of my favorite gaming expert tks jon

[@nmestler]

Your play-throughs are consistently the best. I find these videos are one of the main ways that I decide whether or not I want to buy a game. Thanks.

[@Eric-ti5ql]

Hi Jon. Out of the dozens of Board Game Tutorials, I find that you explain games most clearly and effectively. Thanks for the channel.

[@NikkiWirawan]

your playthroughs have always been the easiest to follow! Thank you so much!

[@turnstonegames2936]

Thanks for the great playthrough Jon! Very clear and detailed without getting bogged down in explanations before starting the game. Looking forward to the next one!

[@yannisguerra]

Again, thanks for the playthrough. Excellent quality as per usual, now hoping the game arrives soon

[@FMagno]

Great playthrough! I was waiting for your playthrough of this game :D

[@StevenStJohn-kj9eb]

Looking forward to trying this on boardgamearena. Thanks for the tutorial!

[@carrickrichards2457]

Great review of a great game. Keeps it fresh, accessible and helps teach new gamers; thank you.

[@SteelBreeze021]

I think you did a great job on this play through and hope you do many more.

[@frozengamer698]

Jon your playthroughs are a great way to learn games! Keep it up.

[@leroygodzicki2266]

Outstanding job on a top 3 of all time game for me

[@Papayaparade]

Love your video Jon! Thanks for teaching my wife and I how to play Yokohama.

[@tylert.5357]

I'm wanting to buy this game, whcih I played a couple times when it forst came out, and your video was great to help me decide and refresh my desire for this game. Good job Jon.

[@IainMabbott]

Super playthrough Jon, I've just picked this up and your video really helped. Thank you 😺

[@poul4335]

So awesome, I find this playthrough to be one of the best ones I've seen this year, and I love the steady camera and editing. This obviously took a lot of work and I appreciate it! I always find myself identifying with the main player color you use, this time being red (bummer we didn't win) but impressive game all around. I think you have struck a good balance in playing all three players. Thank you for doing this. Also at the very end when yellow got another Netherlands flag for filling that final order, were there no more Netherlands foreign agents to claim? This would have won them the game, but couldn't tell if the agents ran out, I know they're limited, so maybe this was the case. Looking forward to your next last Place podcast with Efka. Maybe you guys you record one of your online games sometime, bet it would go over well. Keep up the good work!

[@JonGetsGames]

There is indeed only one Netherlands Foreign Agent, so there was none for Yellow to grab at that point in the game. Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@MohamadSobh]

Amazing playthrough. Thanks Jon!

[@JonGetsGames]

I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[@etiennegagnon2525]

Very nice play playthrough!

[@davidkok2489]

thanks for the play thru!

[@achan8462]

Blue was given 1 less point at 1:34:00 : he gave blue 6 points by pushing them up from 61 to 66... when it should have been 67.

[@YuVW]

@46:05, is it required to take the trade ports in order or could blue take the 6 cost one and refill to 2 yen with the tech?

[@JonGetsGames]

Trade port doesn't have to be taken in order.

[@rpesel]

How do you do level 1 activation if you always have assistants and manager?

[@JonGetsGames]

It is possible if you have one assistant and then you use a Foreign Agent.

[@jamesholder5377]

Brilliant as always. Because of you, I buy another game. You have some explaining to do to my wife.

[@jonathanpolitis9856]

Small error: at 1:33:59 you should be giving blue 6 points, putting them at 67, but instead only give them 5 points. This means that blue's final score should have been 132 not resulting in a tie.

[@JonGetsGames]

Yeah this was unfortunate but sometimes I'm terrible at match while recording :) Fortunatelyl, there is already a note in the Klingon subtitles about this.

[@jonathanpolitis9856]

JonGetsGames oh, I didn't realize you use those. I normally use English subtitles instead. Good to know, thanks!

[@JonGetsGames]

It is unfortunate that viewers have to pick between those two options, but youtube provides no other way to add in corrections later unfortunately. There is a note that moves on screen at the start of the video to remind people about the Klingon :)

[@josephvanwyk2088]

Great play through! Much appreciated. Also, you are not allowed to cheat in your own play through, haha.

[@FMagno]

36:30 you made a single assistant placement but the card (35:55) had a "2" on it for a double assistant placement

[@JonGetsGames]

Good catch, I'll add a note now thanks :)

[@boardgamequeens]

if you use a foreign agent do you also get to use your president and do actions on two different areas in one turn?

[@JonGetsGames]

Essentially yeah because you use the Foreign agent as an "additional action" either before or after your main turn action.

[@boardgamequeens]

JonGetsGames thanks for the reply!

[@wombatwad]

very well done

[@Heelms]

At 57:56 Yellow gets a bonus import crate for having a power of 5, but since Blue has already established a trading station there, the bonus crate should not be available to Yellow, right?

[@JonGetsGames]

At 51:03 you'll see that Blue only got to 4 power on the turn that let them construct the Trading House which is why the 5 power bonus tile was still avaliable for Yellow to grab.

[@Heelms]

Oh yes, of course. Why did I not check myself? :) For a brief moment I thought that you could only put the trading house with 5 power! Thanks! Great Playthrough! Can't wait till the KS editions reach Europe!

[@GhostRaiter]

Did Red score his first contract twice with bonus points?..lol

[@legolasegb]

Does that tie-breaker seem stupid to anyone else? There is no skill in being closer to the starting player. :-/

[@erin7606]

I haven't heard/seen it mentioned, but the 5-power tokens should start face down. I enjoy your playthroughs, they are very helpful for new players; I have started sending links to them for new players before we play a new game.

[@JonGetsGames]

Erin Anderson I don't believe this is true, the official rules video and the rules I looked at on BGG all day that the 5-power tokens start face up. Glad this has been a good resource for your group :)

[@erin7606]

You are absolutely correct. I only saw "face down" and missed the words "face up" in "Shuffle all the 5-power tokens face down and place 1 face up on the 5-space in each area." Again, I am glad I watched your rule video, thanks!

[@tjtilger]

I'm so sorry you lost

[@tjtilger]

On a more serious note, I must thank you for doing this video to save me an hour of trying to figure out the rule book and then another 2 hours of struggling through the first playthrough! Also, it's really good to know the rule that you can move existing assistants, as that makes a huge difference. I look forward to playing this one! Thanks again!

[@JonGetsGames]

:) It's always great hearing things like this. I hope you enjoy the game!

[@Dr_C_Smith]

Speaking a bit slower would really help this video.
