I agree. I have both, and found that the wooden pieces are easier to move and are better for indicating damage. I may find a solution to make the plastic ships work better, but for now I’m sticking with the wooden ones

I thought the same thing. I'm gonna give everyone the chance to use the plastic because we have them but the wood has a better shape imo. Leder should stick with wood, they have nice pieces.

I have only discovered this channel two months ago and have watched some of you guy’s older videos, and I gotta say that Edward is probably the best guy on KZfaq to be able to coherently explain board game rules without it sounding overwhelming to newcomers. I have been able to enjoy watching you guys play board games I have never heard of and probably never even going to try getting into mostly due to Edward’s rule explanations. So thank you Edward for your work, and I look forward to seeing you explain more board game rules and watching you guys play more board games.

Edward knows how to present the rules in a way that is easy to understand and absorb. He really prepares us to play the game right away. I appreciate his approach and compared to other videos that present the rules of Arcs, his way was the most helpful. Thank you very much!.

I think Edward made a mistake I have also been making prior when explaining the catapult move action. You have to stop movement either wenn you a) hit a sector, that somebody else is controlling or b) move to a planet. It does not matter, wether it is in control of anybody or not, you just have to stop if you move to a sector with a planet on it. (See Arcs rulebook p. 13). Although to be fair: the rules have been revised and updated on April 11th and the sentence has been rephrased in order to clarify, which was probably AFTER Edward had read the rules by himself. But most importantly: thanks for the playthrough and the explanations! You always have the best videos on the most complex boardgames! You guys rock!

Page 22 says "Rarely, a player will have no starports or ships on the map. If this happens, they place 3 fresh ships in any gate at the end of their turn." It uses the word OR. So does this mean if you have ships, but not starports you get to place 3 fresh ships every turn??

It all fits in the campaign box. There are four wells that are used for cards and individual tokens for the campaign episodes. Bag the campaign episode tokens, label them, and place them in one well. Put everything in the other three. I needed some space in the fourth well for cards that didn't manage to fit in the others, but that's because my sleeves were a bit thicker than average.

the guys played way too conservatively there. They waited until they completely annihilated James' ships before they started raiding. Sometimes you lose a couple of ships raiding big whoop. You need to leave yourself time to roll more dice if the initial raids don't work. It's one thing not wanting to raid against three ships but being scared of one little ship guys?

I love the gameplay but man is that map and universe uninteresting and lacking personality. The planets don’t have names, the locations mean nothing. Feels much more like an abstract game than it should. Does the campaign flesh this world out or will we always refer to these planets as “I will go to this yellow planet for an oil barrel”. That feels like a lot of potential was wasted to make this more thematic

@@elqord.1118I’m with you. I ordered the game because it looks fun and after reading the rulebook I was very intrigued. Root is in my top-10, but Oath felt bloated to me (still kept it, I mean it’s beautiful). One of the first things I noticed though was the lack of planetary/system names. Yes, I suppose you can ‘name it yourself’, but I think having them on the board adds to the mystique of world building that I think was a bit of a missed opportunity. I mean, even Tiny Epic Galaxies has planet names. I’ve not yet ordered the campaign. Waiting to see how this plays first. People have extolled its virtue. But campaign games can be a bit hit or miss for me and the family. I played through the Fenris campaign (Scythe) with my buddies and it took us like a year to complete it. Oath has only seen a few plays and we backed it on kickstarter. We’ve owned Gloomhaven for years, yet are only about 7-8 completed (beaten) scenarios. I did back the new Flash Point campaign because we *love* it and the game seems to beg for that kind of story line; we’ll see. So I’m in the wait and see for the Arc’s campaign expansion, perhaps someone else can tell us if expansion adds to the ‘Reach’s’ lore.
