Sweet avatar, Scott!

Aw - thanks, Rochelle!

I agree!

Thanks Ashley! Here's hoping your friend enjoys it!

Thanks, Natalie! i hope you're among those precious few?

Update: played my first game without needing to touch the rule book. Thanks for the great explanation of the rules!

Thanks, GForceFitness1! Just remember to stretch it out and stave off switching seasons for as long as possible!

Thanks, Anton! My pleasure. Do you own Everdell?

Thanks, Dave-o! i'm going as fast as i can! (Jane - stop this crazy thing!)

Thanks so much!

Thank you! My pleasure!

He's seen a million badgers, and he's rocked 'em all.

Thank you. Mattia! i think you're pretty good.

Thanks, Oliver! Glad i could help.

Shhh - keep it down! Rodney might hear you. (And as you know, he has a terrrrrrible temper!)

Thanks! i agree!

You're in for such a treat!

And hopefully not the last!

i'm working on it! New video every Monday. Subscribe to catch the latest!

This town is big enough for the both of us!

Oh it absolutely is! You've touched on several games that I wish he had. He just has just set a ridiculously high bar when it comes to tutorials. I have to say you've done great. I went ahead and subscribed and look forward to future content.

@@TheAmazingYeti Thanks so much! And i take requests - particularly for interesting games that maybe Rodney has passed over.

So what i read about the tree is that it's flimsy. As a consequence, i set up my tree exactly once, and have kept it assembled on my game shelf (because it looks great!) i can totally see that with enough setup and takedown, the tree will get wobbly. (Of course, the publisher will happily sell you a wooden version of the tree that might hold up better ;) All that said, the tree is 100% decorative, rather than functional. It serves no actual gameplay purpose.

@@NightsAroundaTable Always count on the upsell. :)

Last time i played, i won with the Bon Jovis! Their player power is really good, and we saddled up Stubblehoof the moose and rode him to victory! Happy birthday to me.

Yes - you can absolutely play them! Think of the meadow as, like, a communal hand. They're your cards. But they're also the other players' cards. If you've got the goods, you can build a card from either the meadow or your hand.

Thanks, Other Ryan! i read you loud and clear. And i saw the comments about it on Reddit today as well. To fix the problem, just today, i built a library of over twenty different whoosh sound effects to pepper throughout my videos, so the transitions don't sound so samey. i prefer this to losing the sound effects entirely, because some of my fellow ADD-addled viewers have told me the transition sounds help them re-focus their attention when their minds begin to wander. So the best of both worlds, i hope!

Yeah - watch specifically for the instruction to “draw” (that’s from the deck). If you get to take a card from the meadow specifically, the game will say so. Remember that you can, as the action on your turn, construct a card from the meadow if you can pay its costs.

1. You get your character back (except in the case of a card like the cemetery), but you don't get to reuse that worker until it's freed up in the next round. 2. The placement slots are once-only. If you place a worker in the Haven, you get a resource for every 2 cards you discard, and you can do that multiple times. But if you want to repeat that action on a later turn, you need to place another, different worker there. 3. If you have the construction that attracts a critter, you can play that critter either from your hand or from the meadow for free. But that effect only works once per construction, so make sure to block off the little door in the bottom right corner of the card to remind you that that ability is used up on that card!

Thank you so much for responding so fast but with number 1. I was actually thinking of the cemetery in my head because it’s a good card other then the fact you can’t get your player back and I think it’s the ruins that allows you to break a construction so what would happen to the character they kinda just go into space?

Yes! They go where all forest creatures go when they die.

@@NightsAroundaTablealright thanks and I love that response

Hi, Marco! i'm not quite sure i understand what you're asking, but the "Capture of the Acorn Thieves" card explicitly tells you to turn two critter cards from your tableau upside down beneath it.

@@NightsAroundaTable aah.. its just with that one. ok, thanks for the reply

@@MarcoGrandia Yeah! And it's a great card for dealing with the Fool. You can also try the Dungeon or University if that event doesn't get dealt out. (Using the University to get rid of the Ruins is another powerful combo!)

Hi, Alaze. You can absolutely play a critter card from the meadow for free if you have the matching, unoccupied construction built in your tableau. But what you're describing is not allowed: if you spend your turn buying and placing the courthouse in your tableau, you would have to wait until your *next* turn to claim the judge card from the meadow (if it's still there!) Building a card counts as your action, and you can only do that once on your turn.

Crane is my go-to stealth strategy. My friends haven't caught on to how juicy that card is.

You should fill them in. It would create better competition for you.

@@Huntnast Nevah! My wife Cheryl keeps the judge/courthouse combo pretty close to her chest and tries for it every single game.

​@@NightsAroundaTable Those two cards are worth holding onto for the other to pop up. They're so helpful now I wanna play :'(

Not explicitly. But what age are we talking about? Pre- or post-literate kids?

@@NightsAroundaTable 8-12.

Trees, though? TREES??

How can i help? Where are you stuck? Please lie back - this will only hurt a bit.

Counterpoint: the game is superfantastic and you're playing it wrong.

No I’m not thanks for assuming. Trash channel just like the trash game.

@@zapazoid Not very Christlike of you.
