It was so great to watch you do a play through, and there were some top tier plays going on, which was great to see! I love seeing people read the puns, then slowly understand them, then realize they've been punned and chuckle at the silliness. It's all I could ever hope for ;)

Great job Manny, excited to see what's next for ya'!

At 41:32, when Monique placed Pan in the Hello Nursery, I think you should have moved that shop down and brought out a new shop.

This was great! My daughter and I have been intimidated learning this game. We read the rules and watched a couple videos and were still unclear and confused. You’re video walkthrough was perfect and we can’t wait to play. Thank you for taking the time to explain this.

This is uncanny: I saw this Kickstarter and went back and forth and ultimately decided against backing it, but I noticed this week that it was on The Hotness on BGG and was wishing y'all had a playthrough so I could decide if it was worth paying retail. 😅 I love the art, but wasn't sure how the gameplay would be. I think you two just sold me!

I could not believe at 40:33 you actually did have 3 anvils 😂 I was freaking out the whole time like oh nooooo she's going to have to undo another move, but nope, you showed it in a quick little slide action maneuver. haha well done.

38:20 When you use the Pizza Coven ability you don't put the goods in the reserve. You put them on the park dragons. If any player afterwords drafts a park dragon with a good they gain the good as well. :)

"Keep your foot off that blasted samoflange!" I like this game, I'm glad I bought it. But I'm also glad that I got the retail version (like you have); as nice as the deluxe components are, I actually prefer the dragon meeples, and the rest of the upgrades aren't worth the added cost to me. Thanks for the playthrough!

@Gmoney14 Жыл бұрын

Such a good game. We house ruled to seperate the fancy dragon decks into moon and sun respectively. It adds another small wrinkle of decision making to the game. Do you want to try and get extra points during the game, or do you take an end game scoring card hoping it'll be something you can fulfill by then. A small change, but super impactful. I highly recomend trying it at least once.

A really mean but effective play early game would have been to use Daniel to fire the Park, swap the potion dragons for the two bread dragons in town, then use their abilities to draw them. Could have locked your opponent out of artisan dragons for a while if that works the way I think it does 😂

I think maybe you forgot to open a new store somewhere in the middle. Also two of the store spots at the edge are 4-5 player only, but I'm not sure if this was affected the game (the playmat has it partially cut off, I need to look it up).

Question for the hive mind: when you enchant, say you fire up a meat dragon to place a dragon in town. When you play a dragon in town, do you gain rewards? Say you put that dragon on a spot with 3 reputation points. Do you gain those as part of the full enchantment turn?

@TiaDurrant Жыл бұрын

How does this play at 2 players? My wife would love this game, but we are mostly playing just the two of us.

@BeforeYouPlay Жыл бұрын

It plays perfectly fine at 2! The difference is that in higher player counts, people will be required to pay each other goods more often since there are more people going around to the different shops. It's much easier to avoid each other at 2. There are also some fancy dragons that reward you for having the most of a specific good, and that will be harder to do at higher player counts.

@greglevy4770 Жыл бұрын

We play a lot at 2, as well. Another thing that happens is that the artisan dragons scale for player count, so at 2 (maybe even three), the artisan dragons will deplete before the enchantments deplete. It'll be something to watch as you play. That being said, we still love it at 2 players. Oldest daughter got the KS deluxe content, introduced us to it, and we were able to get a deluxe copy through an online retailer. It's become one of our favorite games.
