Great playthrough! I'm reasonably suspicious someone got this for me this Christmas. Looks forward to playing. This was one of my favorite multiplayer game experiences.

Thanks Paul! Picked this up for Solo, and I am enjoying the heck out of it. Your video was super helpful re getting started :)

I had the original and sold it because my other half was not into it. I watched about 10 minutes of this and ordered it again. I'll have to find people to play with other than her. If not, I'll play it solo. This game is too good to not have and play. Thanks for the video.

At 36:50 Temujin is right, Sam would have gone up to the hazard tile as that is the shortest route. Sam would have made it to KC 1 turn earlier.

That was great! I think of all the games I’ve never played this one is definitely top 3 I want to try. Sounds like you’re going full time soon? Congratulations!!

Late to Great Western Trail, but I think I like it.

Other than Kansas City lower payout from 6 to 4 is there any other changes to the board? Does Kansas City still give you -6 at the end of the game for every time you deliver to it?

I wish I wasn't working, I could barely watch live. I wanted to participate! Where can I be notified of the scheduled play throughs!? Cannot wait to look back at this though I know I will just add it to my wishlist....

Question: on 48 ish min you bought cows with three cowboys. Should have the other two refresh the cattle market? Thanks for a great play through....

Do you think the Automa could be used in 2 or 3 player games? I've always liked this game better at higher player count but rarely have 3 or 4 people to play

Not sure. Possibly

@Gaming Rules! Hi Paul are the sleeves the same size as the first edition cards?

@GamingRulesVideos 2 жыл бұрын

I think so

@xxlt1xx 2 жыл бұрын

@@GamingRulesVideos i sleeved a few cards and found that the provided insert doesn’t hold sleeved cards! I feel dirty playing without sleeves on these nice cards!

Hi, is it possible to play vs multiple Automa printing other Automa deck? Thanks

I guess so. Not tried it.

Do you lose 6 vp for every disk you put on Kansas city?

Im afraid so. I give some of the reasons at the end of my latest VLOG (on the channel - look for October 2021)

Thanks for doing this, Paul. I am really looking forward to getting my hands on a copy!

Wait, why would you goto Kansas in old game for 6 gold, It also gave 6 penaly points right? Or is the reason 6 dollars early on can easily be used to mitigate those 6 negative points?

@GamingRulesVideos 2 жыл бұрын

Yep. Expert players go to Kansas once or twice early in the game. Money is tight and it is totally worth it in the long run.

@@GamingRulesVideos Thanks! Just played the game for the first time yesterday and we got a bunch of rules wrong ( I watched some video's beforehand, but the owner of the game didnt know the rules very well himself) We also didnt start where we wanted, just all at the start and we took so many stops before arriving in Kansas for the first time.

Great video Paul, but it was total “bull” 🙄

The insert for this game is awful but the game is brilliant. Bag and sleeve is the way to go. I know many games have bad inserts but was expecting more as this is a second edition.

@BobLee-df4zh Жыл бұрын

Agreed. This is the first game where I've ever just immediately thrown the insert away. It was 100% designed for packing/shipping and not for storage.

i have this game, bought based on the hype and reviews. I played it once...and hated it. I have it for sale. Its fiddly as all get-out and not very exciting and an absolute slog to teach and a ton of rules to remimber.

There are lots of games out there. Not everyone likes all of them :)
