Gotta say, just discovered your videos over the last month and I really enjoy them. They are very well done and very in-depth which has allowed me to select games to buy or games to stay away from. I am planning on purchasing this board game due to this video so just wanted to say thank you for your information, cheers.

Played the Australia map...it's so nice because the maps are inexpensive and you get 2 new maps with each expansion. We also like that it's a quick complex game. It seems like most complex games are long. It's complex in that you really have to plan and adapt, but the time flies by.

Did anyone play this game? Seems to me there is a weak spot, namely when I find a route that gives me lots of money, I just move a passenger back and forth the same route all the time, getting the same amount of money all the time. Is this something someone experienced to be a bit of a "bug" of the game that makes it a bit annoying to play?
@WatchItPlayed
@WatchItPlayed 3 жыл бұрын
Are you remembering to remove your passenger from the board after they've travelled? kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oNKVhZiBsdq5aXU.html You couldn't have a passenger travel back and forth repeatedly along the same tracks. It would have to be a different passenger each time.

Hi Rodney. I was just reading the rules, and I wanted to clarify something. In the rules, it appears that the link counting should include a plus one taking into account the cities involved in the links including starting and ending cities. In your counts, I don’t recall that being the case (coming up one shy of the correct count). Is this correct? Just wanted to make certain. Thanks for your videos, sir. 😊
@WatchItPlayed
@WatchItPlayed 4 жыл бұрын
I get these checked over by the designer and publisher to help avoid mistakes before they go out, so I'm reasonably confident I have this correct. Could you quote what you read in the rules?
