I got this game and played it a bit with my friend/roommate. It takes a bit, but man I love it. Especially being a huge Dune fan. Now if only I could find enough people to play the old 80s version of Dune board game you've talked about before.
Thanks for watching! Did you notice something that you think I got wrong? Reply to this comment with a timestamp and I'll check it out and post a correction if needed.
You mentioned opposing player choosing retreat location only for the atomics, This is the rule in general. whenever a legion retreats the opponent chooses where.
RULES ERRORS 19:44 you actually discard as many companies as you want to, then draw until you have 4. You don’t have to discard them all 29:03 when the middle class sells to the foreign market it is NOT just like how the capitalists do it. The middle class gets 1 point for every sale they make, but the capitalists do not. 46:58 you said the state reduces its legitimacy markers to half their value rounded up but you moved the capitalist marker to half its value rounded down
Thanks for the video, the explanations were very clear and I'm excited to try this expansion solo. Quality content for sure and I will be watching more of your stuff!👍
I'm going to have to call you out dude. It does not help your comment to add little quips like when put down the 'Call for Crusade' and make little eye roll 'Man, history is (dramatic pause) "Yeah". There is a False idea that somehow Europeans or 'white people' are somehow guilty of whatever that eyeroll represented, but in reality Islam did far more 'Crusading for centuries, and at far greater scale so if you put down 'Call for Jihad' would you also roll the eye and say "Man history is (dramatic pause) 'yeah') and then when we get to Slavery the fact Islam not only enslaved black Africans but also, wait for it, white Europeans, and moreover mass-Castrated them so now there are not tons of 'African (insert majority Muslim nation here today) so if anything deserves the Big Eye Roll or the "Man, history is (super-long dramatic pause) 'yeah' it would be that. Also did you know tons of non-European nations Colonized, and that was messy. In fact, Europeans were the backwater 'barbarians up till only a couple centuries ago according to the view of the Gunpowder empires of the East, China, and one of the real reasons slavery ended was Europeans realized it was a commodity and too many slaves were being enslaved in the Oriental Far East and Middle East, and yes Vikings did their fair share of it, plus you can say some who tried to colonize like the Scots miserably failed, but the whole comments added about these topics doesn't help, and ignores the reality and real history of it. It only feeds a modern distorted historical view that isn't being historically accurate. Your duly corrected. Here's some fun facts: the Crusader states of the Holy Land failed, but what we call the Kingdom of Spain eventually was in fact a bunch of Crusader states who survived and merged into a single Latin Christian Kingdom, same goes with Poland, Lithuania who were at one time Pagan, and a sort of Teutonic Crusade was waged along with other factors creating successful Kingdoms and/or Commonwealth. Most people don't think of those other two areas as 'successful' outcomes of Crusades, Plus Charmagne might not have sent out crusades but had a hand in forced conversions for people within territories who were resistant or didn't conform to their Princes or Lords chosen choice of state religion. Religion back then was a Franchise system, and the people individually had no real choice for the most part, instead their head of state decided, once the Reformation happened, and that is one real reason we had secret societies because they criminalized thought forcing people who otherwise would be called heretic to operate covertly. In prior times someone like Martin Luther would have simply started a new Order, like the Dominican Order or Jesuit Order within the Church, but due to the fact German princes wanted to separate politically, and since Politics and Religion had merged so both Christianity and Islam both were in reality "political ideologies' as much as religious worldviews forming a demanding culture that expected anyone within it to conform and convert. There was little choice. This though, is little different around the world. Go to the religion of Pre-Columbian city-states, or the Aztec and tell them you don't want to worship their gods, and you'll end up a human sacrifice so this urge to force conversion is NOT something only 'the white' people or Europeans did, in fact if anything they learned it from people mostly living Eastward and Southward, but then most Europeans were originally Western Asian peoples of the Steppes, and only a few pre-Indo-Europeans survive. Same process happened in the New world. There are people in the New World not related to those of the Land Bridge and are more related to the Melanesians, but then what is called 'native Americans' are in fact more accurately called "Paleo Asian Americans if anything just like we could call Europeans 'Paleo Asian Europeans' or something like that.
Hi everyone... 🫂 I bought Root base game but unfortunately there are not expansions in our country.I found hardly only Marauder Expansion.And very expensive.So my question is: Dear friends ,is it worth to buy Marauder for especially 2 players? I must know before.Because it is very expensive.And I'll not be able to buy anything else for Root.No exiles and Partisans deck and no other expansions.Only Marauder can buy.(if you recommend of course).Is it worth? Please help... 🙏 Thanks in advance 💜💚💛
If you like Root at two players already, I think Marauder is a great expansion. The two factions work well when played against each other, so I'd probably recommend it over any of the others.
@@RTFM First of all,I'm greatful to you for your answer 🫂 I'm going to get Marauder and extra "exiles and partisans" deck,as I heard it works great.And hope I'll be able to play with just base game when we're 4p sometimes... Thank you so much 🙏
7:35 In case you don't have captions on: You CAN completely fill a population track and cover up the black number. This means your income of that resource during the upkeep phase is zero. If you must return another cube to that track while it is already full (i.e. you returned wild cubes to science putting it to zero, but then lost a science planet from an attack) you must place the cube into another track.
It's possible there are story-related triggers that unlock upgrades (I haven't played through the whole story), but otherwise yes, that is the only way I know of that you unlock an upgrade.
This is my favorite game and this video is my favorite way to introduce it to new players. Every time I host Spirit Island game nights I include a link to this video in the description.
Very helpful, and I like your presentation style. I did notice that the player board says the Crossroads card is drawn by the player to the *right*, not the left.
I will absolutely @ you for ranking OS 5th (unforgivable) and Lower Decks, objectively the third best Star Trek show and the best Star Trek show currently on air, an unfathomably low 7th. Discovery and Enterprise are garbage tier, Voyager is just above them, in the salt mines. Then DS9, OS, Lower Decks, and TNG basically tie for 2nd.
