You are the perfect blend between rahdo and watch it played with Rodney. Sometimes I want to get a feel for the game and know how it's played. Then you have to watch 2 videos bit this is the ideal mix! I also very much love the notation in the top right corner to skip to the part which you want to learn. Subscribed. These kind of videos are fantastic

You made a game of daunting complexity easily understandable. I love the way you not only explain what can be done, but also clearly state the reasons behind the sample actions you take . Thank you so much!

Fantastic video Jon. I read the rules and watched a couple of “how to plays” for GP. While these are great for rules they don’t give you a clue how the game actually plays - this tutorial was grand. Looking forward to the extended play though!

I tried to learn the game from the digital version tutorial and was like huh? Then I tried to watch a 15min video tutorial and was still huh? It was not until I committed the time to this excellent tutorial that was able to play a game against the AI and mostly understand why I was losing :-) Thanks for this great video.

Aside from the great, clear tutorial and many examples by playing what's really underrated are the time stamps. Especially for looking up rules. That's what keeps me coming back to the video because mid-game I can easily look for an example in the video because it's easy to find. Thanks Jon keep it up. Maybe a tutorial for clans of caledonia? Might be up your ally

@JonGetsGames 4 жыл бұрын

I'm glad you find them useful, I do occasionally wonder if the effort is worth it since my metrics don't show any real impact of them from a watching perspective. That being said I've always wanted to see them in other videos and after 6 years I consider them to be part of my brand so I don't think they are going anywhere :P What I really wanted to happen was other BG creators to realize they are a good idea and do them as well so that I can use them when I watch their videos. I'm surprised they haven't caught on, they really don't take that much extra time. Probably ~20m per video.

Do u still have to either build a tech building or spend QIC together while flipping over the fed token to get advanced tech tile ? or do you simply just flip over a fed token alone? How about advancing over to lvl 5 tech tree? do you still need to "advance" together with flipping over?

Discarding power tokens for satellites means the power tokens go back to the 1 zone, the green zone or off the player board????

Do you write out a series of turns before filming in order to enhance the flow of teaching? Some of the turns seemed to perfectly lead into the next one lol

@JonGetsGames 3 жыл бұрын

I almost never write them out, but I do frequently plan several turns ahead to try and teach things in a good order.

Jon, this is such a great vid. I like how this game plays, but I like the “look” of Terra Mystica a lot more. Seems like the iconography is great, I’m just not a fan of the look.

That makes total sense. I would love a game right in between the two mechanically and I could take either art/theme personally.

I wish reviews would always start with an overall structure of the game as a whole. I find it hard to remember details if I don’t know where they belong in the overall structure. Like “In Isle of Skye players secretly bid for two land tiles out of their three available land tiles. Upon ended auction each of the sex rounds concludes with scoring points for all land tiles placed according to the current rounds point scoring criteria.

@JonGetsGames 4 жыл бұрын

Interesting feedback, I'll consider it for sure. It doesn't take much time to do a brief overview of the flow and generally I just say "there are 5 steps" instead of briefly saying what they are. I'll keep this in mind for sure.

Small correction: at 10:00 you say 1 minus amount charged. This is backwards. You lose points equal to amount charged minus 1. (Really appreciate the video!!)

At 18:42 you say that there's 10 different planets and 8 can be built into but there's actually 9, the lost planet is a type that counts for such bonuses but the purple planets turn into Gaia planets and can therefore never be built on.

@JonGetsGames 4 жыл бұрын

Since you can never built something onto the lost planet I considered it "not buildable". I know it counts as a mine for bonuses, but felt that in general it's true that only 8 of the 10 types are buildable.

They don't have any innate abilities like the Taklon's do, but that icon in the top right of their board shows that they start the game with one step up on the terraforming research track.
