I'm currently wading through the rules. Haven't played any version of GWT before so this video is extremely helpful, thanks very much! I did notice one rule though regarding placement of discs during the Wellington steps. You mentioned that the disc you take from your player mat must match the white or black spot that you are placing on the board, but in the rules on pg 9 (half way down the second column) it states "1. A disc from a disc space with white corners can be placed onto any trading post space. 2. A disc from a disc space with dark corners, however, can only be placed onto a trading post space that also has dark corners."

32:46: Not sure about those two objective cards. Doesn't each mean "reach step X on the expedition track"? In this case they would not accumulate to "reach step 10" I think.

@borreholic7238 11 ай бұрын

Not a big thing, but just curious: Are any hazards tiles part of the mix of B tiles, or is it 100% bonus tiles? If only bonus tiles, at Welington it means you will always add one bonus tile that pushes the game clock forward, unlike in the base game where you could tweak that to a small extent by choosing to put out a hazard/teepee tile that shows up instead of a worker (which I think was an interesting nuance even though far from essential).

@MeepleUniversity 11 ай бұрын

Yes, all are bonus tiles for this version. Small tweak that has different effect right!
