Missed you guys!! So delighted you're back! The new space looks amazing!!

What a lovely couple synergy. Calm explanation, good input, relaxing to watch. Big props.

Hey your back. Nice set and you both look well. Glad to see the channel back up and content starting again.

I very much enjoy listening to you guys. you both have so smooth and clear voices, amazing! very nice you're back and your new room looks great!

YOUR BACK!!!! Great to see you guys again!

Great to see you guys back playing games. The new play are looks amazing. I love Everdell and im glad you guys chose this game to showcase.

Excellent to see you again! Really love the new basement studio.

Welcome back! Nice work on The studio

Glad to see you back at the table!

16:07 Technically, you start the game in winter and move into spring when you perform the first Prepare for Season action. From a thematic standpoint, this is why resources are so scarce in the first round. Autumn will be your final round as you are making preparations to go into the next winter season. Minor detail though! Love your playthroughs--they have influenced me to purchase several games over the years!

Welcome back!!... love the new setup

I’m just here to say, “WOOOOOOOOO!” And the new space looks amazing!

I just want to say that I am so happy to finaly see you. Regards from Poland!

Hooray! Welcome back! Missed your content!

Missed you guys and love this game!

So glad the best in the business is back in business!

Hope you are both keeping safe thank you for this play through as usual it was very good and will help me decide whether to buy everdell or not keep up the great work

Good to see you guys! You are looking great! :)

It's great that you're back! I missed your movies very much ... Although Everdell is not a game that interested me - I was very pleased to watch your game. Thank you! PS I can see that the cup is ready :)

You guys need to do more content, I really enjoy your videos, diggin the new hair :)

Not sure if anyone mentioned this, when you were adding your creature cards, the wife's purple 'prosperity bonus' is 3 in ADDITION to its card value of 2...so you would get 5 points instead of just the 3 you counted. Not that it changes who won...but just a rules clarification.

Great content. I appreciate the thoughtful production. The camera framing, and editing between angles, is well considered. The audio is clear and pleasant. AYou both have well paced, friendly speaking manners that inform and explains without being overly showy. And the game space is very nice. I'm a fan of the channel. Pearlbrook hasn't gotten a lot of plays at our house. While we don't dislike it, per se, I feel the good doesn't out weigh the bad enough to justify the additional set up. I do like the adornments a lot. They give you some hidden goals and add a little asymmetry, which I think is fantastic. I also like the way Pearlbook increases the value of, and need for, card draw. But, I don't like the high value of the Wonders. I think they encourage less efficient, less interesting play, where you just grab maximum resources for most of the game, then buying whatever wonders you can afford towards the end. I'm pretty neutral towards the Ambassador mechanic, and I'm not sure it really makes the game more fun. In the end, I'd rather have the base game free of the Pearlbrook components, so it is easier to add the Spirecrest expansion, which I adore. We agree with your assessment of the slow meadow and deck cycling for 2-player games. We generally use the Border Variant to see more cards. It doesn't require extra setup, is very easy, and doesn't change the game play in any other way. boardgamegeek.com/filepage/172604/border-variant-everdell __ The empty Forest location represents the Border, where Everdell residents are moving from the realm to try to make it on their own. Perhaps they can be drawn back into your city. Setup: The empty Forest location becomes the Border pile. Begin the game with no cards in the Border pile. New Rule: When one or more Meadow card are replaced, also take one card from the draw pile and add it face up to the top of the Border pile. The top card of the Border pile may be played or drawn as if it were part of the Meadow, but is not replaced.

Love your energy! At 39:25 that so funny! Thank you for this video. I subscribe with our Family channel!

New space looks awesome!!

So glad you did this. Any chance of the other expansions being played aswell?

it is the only expansion I don't have. Thanks for doing this play through!

Please do a top ten of your all time favorite games. I’m so excited to know since I exclusively play 2 player and our taste is pretty similar.

We have played Everdell several times, definitely a family favourite, but haven't cracked open the Pearlbrook yet. I was wondering what it added to the gameplay, good to see it doesn't overwhelm the basic mechanics. My 4-year old son (who has played the game) was watching and said "we should go to their house to play!" :)

It's great you are back :) When will be Cooper Island - which I can see in background ;)? And congratulations ;)

Always love watching your playthroughs. Sorry if you’ve already answered this question before, but where do you get your Petri dish component holders?

LOVE YOUR VIDEOS! ❤️ Greetings

Regarding the fireworks event card. There is no card called "tower". Actually, "Lookout" was meant on this card. In the Pearlbrook expansion, there should be the corrected version of this event.

Francis sure struggled in this one, thanks for the great play through

I need to get this expansion!!

I definitely enjoyed this , must get it

Gotta say I was slightly disappointed that it didn't begin with you guys trying to say the game name in unison :P but otherwise lovely! Hopefully future vids might be zoomed in a bit more, in the old space we didn't see as much of the top of your heads so much ;)

4:10 “pebbles,” not “stones” :D 11:45 There is a HARD hand limit of 8. You cannot get rid of them unless you take an action that allows you to. (e.g. haven spot), and you cannot draw past the limit. The game plays very different otherwise. 19:51 with the two stone spot and a crane, she could easily build the crane into a courthouse into a judge which gives any construction resource and allows substitutions when building, at that point the three twig becomes super valuable for her and her engine is off and running, Also, with two governance cards she could visit a spot with the frog ambassador that turn,

Not to nitpick, but it's 4 rounds since you start in winter. Thanks for shooting the vid! Enjoying it so far.

Do you guys have a video about the equipment you use?

Sidenote: of I'm not mistaken I saw you guys right in front of Starling Games' booth as they were showing Pearlbrook off! Full circle

This game looks great. I think i'm gonna get the base game first and see how my kids like it.

8 card hand limit, and if you're going to exceed that then you just don't draw the card. So he was wrong. Also, she forgot to activate her courthouse when she built the fairground around 41 minutes! I only notice because I CONSTANTLY forget about my blue card powers.

If you guys do come around to playing this again, there is variant for two players that addresses the issue of not being able to comb through the deck as quickly: boardgamegeek.com/thread/2051059/2-player-variant-border This really helps and makes an already awesome two player experience that much better

love seeing y'all laugh,

Hi, I think would be better if you would cat little more thinking time. For me as somebody who watch was little to much thinking.

Love this game :)

Everdell is one of my FAVORITE games. So glad you covered it! With that said, I also had some mixed feelings on Pearblrook, as it added more to a game that didn't feel like it needed more. I'm not sure if you play with house rules or variants, but here is one I created for Everdell (plus expansion content) that addresses the 2 player issues you noted. boardgamegeek.com/thread/2273746/everdell-remixed-variant-deck-bloat-down-favorite

Your table makes this game look small... when it's literally one of the biggest games I won! 😅

Excellent video. One thing to correct: The wife is worth 5 points if paired with the husband. Not 3. The wording is a bit confusing but just remember that all purple cards have their normal point value and extra points depending on what is written on the card. The reason you should count them extra is so you don't forget points. So the score here should be 64-76. Not that it really matters in this case. Just wanted to point it out since its a common mistake.

and frances is right, everdell definitely needs an adaptation for 2-player-games, reducing the deck.. that's what I love about games like Agricola, there are cards that aren't used with lower player counts. but there are mechanics to draw cards and I don't mind if you don't go through the deck each game.. (only have played Everdell solo or 2-player so far btw!)

Heh - “somebody already bought the farm.”

Loved the video! You made such an important comment: replayability is in the different strategies one plays. I often wonder why game publishers, designers put such a huge stress on giving us players more and more components to make each game a "different experience". I feel it has become like a hook we consumers are expected to bite on. When in reality that experience I think lies more within us: how we play, how we react, what path we take. Chess has no variability in setup, no fancy components, no expansions have come out in the last couple of decades and yet....

Why don't you guys hang the mic from the top between both of you? You would get even voice recordings. Then you could just remove the mic in post... On another note, love your videos.

its 4 rounds though...
