Seriously, so much admin.

No problem, I'm glad you've enjoyed it. I hope you like the upcoming expansion :)

That's great to hear, I hope you enjoy it!

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks Christi :)

This one was easily my largest project, it looks like it took 16.5 hours to record it and another 7 hours to edit the video.

Amazing game! Thanks for the playthrough.

That's great to hear, thanks!

That's a pretty big commitment for a group of 4 people to watch a nearly 3 hour long video for a game. I think it is enough If one person watches the video. An rules explanation this way shouldn't take more than 30-40 minutes. Even this is enough to digest for most game groups...

@@Brezel85 You're in luck then! I often suggest this video as the best rules teach. Because it is. Why? Because you can view just the "first 30-40 minutes" and have a good enough grasp of the rules to start a game. As always, however, it is always recommended that at least one person has a complete command of the rules. If you have four people playing for the first time then I'd still recommend this video, but watching for at least an hour of it. I have reviewed all of the play-through videos on Feudum and so far I have yet to see a better one than this one.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Thanks so much Patrick :)

Thanks for pointing this out, I've added a note about it into the klingon subtitles.

Bruno Henrique Agreed. This was my favourite channel for boardgame reviews. Maybe in time it will return😉

I'm sorry to disappoint here, but I can use this as an example of a game I would likely never actually get a review for anyway. It's so long and I'd likely not get it to the table enough times within a timeframe where people are interested in it to actually get the review done. I've honestly found myself enjoying playing games more since I decided to stop reviewing them, I am spending less energy picking them apart and now simply having fun with them more.

While I miss your reviews there are a hundred reviewers out there. You and Ant Lab are the only places where I can go to make an educated decision on a game. I love all the board game sites but you and Ant Lab are my two go to channels. If you do more run throughs because you aren't reviewing it's great by me. Just my 2c....your reviews were great though.

I can see where you are coming from, but I know that far less than half of viewers are turning the subtitles on which means they wouldn't see the corrections and potentially learn incorrect rules or get confused when I do something that doesn't make sense and isn't annotated.

Thanks for pointing that out, I've added a note into the klingon subtitles.

Same happens at 2:31:31?

Yeah, I think all corrections can be found at the BGG video post!

Yeah thanks for pointing these out. I've added notes about these already, you should be able to see them by turning on the Klingon Subtitles.

I've played Food Chain Magnate twice and I found it fascinating but not particularly my type of fun.

@@JonGetsGames thanks !

Huh, I bet you are right. I’m not near my copy of the game but it did seem odd to have two different food images. I’ll double check and make a correction in the Klingon subtitles if this is true. Thanks!

Looks like it also affects the landscape that the green player puts out at 2:09, if you're making Klingon edits. :o) Thanks for the playthrough ... I always learn so much about how to process the game by watching your content. And I really needed this for Feudum!

Just for a quick reference, it is indeed a sulfur mine and you can find that at page 11 of the rulebook, in the leftmost info box. Great job overall on the run by the way, this must have been a monster to tackle!

I've now added notes into the klingon about this, thanks!

No problem! Love your content and I'm glad if I can make even the smallest contribution :)

Hoping for next Tuesday, possibly 2 days after that if things go slow.

Hey there Jerry, I don't think either of these things were done wrong. The rules specifically state "During card selection, you may play a saltpeter or sulfur good to gain a bonus during this round" so I do believe you must make this decision while selecting cards. When it comes to checking for epoch changing, the rules state this happens as Step 4 of a round where the actions take place in Step1. Regarding your last question, I do think it would be incredibly hard to get back into the game :-\

Thank you for your reply

JonGetsGames thanks to you for your wonderful playthrough 😉

Haha, I'm glad you enjoyed it. I certainly felt like I got a degree in the game just to be able to record this thing :P

I can see why you'd want this, but I feel like this is an ethical conflict I can't do because I was paid by the publisher to make the video. I do give my opinion on the games I play in my monthly Impressions vlog, but try to stay as objective as possible in playthroughs.

Good point. You could, perhaps, do it for playthroughs that aren't paid, and label your playthroughs as paid or not paid on the videos graphics and/or in the headers.. On the other hand, as long as you continuing doing your monthly impressions vlog, and make sure to cover any games you've done playthroughs for during that month, at least you can still cover your impressions of everything you've played that way. I'll make sure to keep looking for the impressions vlogs!

I've considered being more subjective in non-paid playthroughs but ultimately I think I'd prefer consistency when it comes to these types of coverage. I do talk about all the published games I play with other people in my impressions vlog, but won't generally talk about the game yet if I only played it against myself in a playthrough setting and/or if it is a prototype version of the game.

I stopped making reviews last June and I am now focusing more on creating new playthroughs as well as vlog style content :)

Unfortunately it has been too long since I played the game / made the video to remember specifics like this to answer your question, sorry :-\

I only have one camera, it's a Vixia HF G40 that I have on a movable mount to get all the different shots.

A tiny typo in the first timestamp skip text, it said "0:5" instead of "0:55". Annoying, but I felt it was worth a re-render and re-upload even though it pushed the publication back by a full day due to my work schedule and the time those things take.

Patiently :P

I wouldn't say that you can assume I like or even recommend every game I make a playthrough for, but as part of my selection process I do make sure that I find at least part of them to be interesting. For instance I don't enjoy "dudes on a map" style games, but I wouldn't say no to making a playthrough about a game with that mechanic based on that alone. I am still giving my opinions out in the monthly impressions vlog, I simply had to cut the review part of out my life because it was slowly killing my enjoyment of board games and I'd have to have them do permanent damage to my enjoyment of my favorite things to do. I never planned to stop making reviews at some point, I simply made them for 4 years and then after a cold hard look at how they affected my life I decided I needed to stop making them. I may change my mind in the future, but for now it has absolutely been beneficial to my mind-state when it comes to making content as well as simply playing games.
