@@SilverFear yeah, we got the symbols confused but still played the right prices for the symbols as we understood them, so it didn’t actually impact the gameplay but we did make sure to make an onscreen note of it and I need to pin a comment about that too. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks!

​@@PlaytheGameHQwonderful. I must have just missed the note at the beginning of the video. Thanks for the reply!

You don’t perform any actions for the tile, it just goes back into you board and will earn you income on future turns for being there, but you do not activate actions or income when it comes back from the cemetery

Glad you enjoyed it!

Correct, the only way to get more cards is by passing or making an ultimatch

Thanks!

In our clan? Peyton...absolutely crushed the rest of us. I think he managed to capture 5 or 6 castles and just ran away with it.

@@PlaytheGameHQ 👏

I (Alison) got the shirt from Target years ago. Sadly the shirt material was horrible and after a few washes the shirt was honestly trash. But I did love the print.

Yes, thematically it's a three day hike through one national park so you'll use one park card for the entire game. It's a really cool little game - I hope you enjoy it when you get to play it!

@@PlaytheGameHQ thank you for the update. Have you tried Waypoints?

Yeah it's a major let down. The board presence, while impressive, would overwhelm anyone who isn't a masochist.

Sorry you feel that way, but I honestly disagree with most of your takes - there's more interaction than your average euro, with plenty of opportunities to intentionally or inadvertently screw up other players, the contract fulfillment is fairly strategic in both what it takes to fulfill them and the timing and order in which you do them, and every theme is pasted on to some extent, but this one integrates it very well

It's definitely a lot, But that can be said of any heavy game - this isn't a game for your friend who just got into gaming, but if you've played any sort of heavier game with lots of choices, then it's pretty intuitive with really good iconography. I'm overwhelmed any time I look at TI4, and Hegemony made my head spin when I saw it for the first time, but does that mean I shouldn't play it, or I just need to know what I'm getting in to?

@@PlaytheGameHQ Brass, Through the Ages, Terra Mystica are among my favorites, being heavy is not the problem. It is generic. In a month or two almost no one will be talking about this one. Glad you enjoyed, but as you explained the rules I literally rolled my eyes

@@PlaytheGameHQ "every theme is pasted on to some extent" is a cope. The extent matters. I could change this game to "build containers" "find for exotic animals" "build cruise ships" with almost no effort and it would fit just as well.

Thank you so much friend!

I know, working on it - tried to slow it down in more recent tutorials. Hope it was helpful nonetheless.

@@avatterott1 thanks for the feedback, been working on that for a while and feel like I’ve gotten a lot better in more recent videos. And I wasn’t straining to get through the script, I was reading at that pace intentionally to keep it at a certain time. Half the people seem to like the pace and the other half feel like it’s too fast, and I’m taking note of the feedback and trying to find a good middle ground, but we can’t grow without trying things to see how it works. Hope you were able to at least get a feel for the rules from the video!

Great reminder! Thanks for playing.

I really hope you like it, but I can only speak for myself, not any other reviewers. This video was shot before this game was signed by a publisher - it was just a cool prototype by a guy that has an amazing story, and it's a game that I really fell in love with when I played it at the GAMA Expo 2 years ago. I specifically asked the designer if I could review the prototype because of how much I enjoyed it - all before it was signed by The OP. I really, truly hope you enjoy it, because I really love the game and I'm really excited that other people are going to get the chance to play it soon. And now that it's getting close to being published we do have a production copy and will be doing more content (full disclosure, some of that will be sponsored and some not), so you should be able to get a much better feel for the game and if it's going to be a good fit for your type of games. It's not going to be for everyone, and that's okay - I hated spirit island and I really love some games that others have written off. And I'd love to hear back once you get to play it and hear what you thought of it.

@@PlaytheGameHQ Thanks for your reply. I'll slightly alter what I said. I'll be more cautious about falling for hype in the future. But I believe you're not trying to be a hype machine. If you truly love the game - that's what I want to know. I think I've noticed in the past twelve months some people don't really "love" a game, but they sure are promoting it like they do. The big question I have for anyone who covers a game in the early stages is, "Do you predict this game will be in your top 10 at the end of the year?" If someone can honestly answer that then that is really helpful to me. Some reviewers have said to me, "Too hard to tell at this point" which is telling. But if you declare it will be then that's all I want to know. Sorry, I didn't mean to paint you as misleading. I think you are being sincere. And I hope I love this game as well. Finding a new game that gets me excited is not that common for me unfortunately. I could probably list more games that disappointed me.

Nope, if you don’t make contact with at least one of your opponent’s buttons then nothing no you do on your turn scores and any of your buttons that were involved in the shot come off the board

It plays well at two, there is also have a simple to run set of AI factions. You can add one to a 2-player game which can curb direct conflict. :)

Haven't played it at 2 yet, only at 3 and 4, but I play to play at 2 players this weekend so I'll let you know.

honestly, I don't think about them in the same category because of the dice mechanics used in Creature Comforts. Both scratch the card combo itch though (and the cute creatures). I (Alison) would probably choose Everdell over Creature Comforts because I prefer the strategy without the luck of the dice. But I also wouldn't turn down a chance to play CC again.

Appreciate the feedback, I think she's better to listen to than me too!
