Wow, nice!! Reminds that this game is actually not difficult in terms of teaching/learning rules but when it starts...my brain simply melts

This is by far the best rules video to FCM out there!! Thank you so much! You helped me and my group a lot and got that game to the table! Would you be interested in doing one for ‘Hegemony - Lead you class to victory’.? It’s sitting there on my shelf and It’s quite daunting to start from what I’ve heard.

Although it is a bit themey, i put it much closer to games like chess and Hive, because you really have to work through a spatial and timing puzzle, thinking through multiple turns and geometries in advance. You'd dig it.

@@NightsAroundaTable I really enjoyed it myself, but unfortunately my mother and wife found it a bit complex. They are not used to heavy games and having so many things to compute per turn.

This is an awesome explanation of the game! One question: What is “grab assing”? It seems you’ve traded one euphemism (beaching) for another and I’m not exactly sure what either means. It sounds as if it means employees grabbing each other’s asses which doesn’t make sense to me. However, I think it’s an implication that they are “doing nothing” or “being unproductive”. Is that correct?

@NightsAroundaTable 2 жыл бұрын

You're close! It's a synonym horseplay, or goofing off. You don't play grab-ass on company (or military) time.
