Another great video. I read the manuals: baffle myself, then watch your videos and say, "Of course!" Thank you for covering. I bought the Big Box version, so will hit the other buildings once the mechanics of the simpler game become natural. I'm an older gamer (61) and find your clarity of explanations terrific. Thank you.

@BeforeYouPlay Месяц назад

Hi there! So glad that our videos make your games easier to get into! Hope you have a blast playing this one. We still really enjoy it!

@KenDudd 2 года назад

As others have said, the Big Box version of this is FANTASTIC. something like 40 extra buildings means no two games are alike. I'm into heavy euros, but this is one of my favourite quick euros alongside Foothills (a quicker 2-player Snowdonia) and Paris: la cite

@BeforeYouPlay 2 года назад

Wow, that's a TON of buildings! haha. We'll definitely need to look into that Big Box. Love Paris!

@SirThecos 2 года назад

19:05 - that really made me laugh! "Resource and stinky you say..." 😅 Thank you for another great video. 😊

@JoshN614 2 года назад

Definitely a game that absolutely needs the expansions. Each of the 2 expansions adds 4 variable buildings which really open up new strategies. The big box has both expansions and is probably the easiest way to grab them

@bushibayushi 2 года назад

I highly recommend the Big Box - it looks great + it has a TREMENDEOUS variety of buildings, every game feels different.

@BeforeYouPlay 2 года назад

We're definitely gonna look into it!

@BeforeYouPlay 2 года назад

Will now have to hunt this down lol.

@GeminiJay654 2 года назад

I don’t always have the time to watch these - but I am always grateful when I want to see something specific played and talked about. Really grateful for the channel & quality of production. Totally awesome!

@BayleeWharton 2 года назад

The way that my Big Box is coming TODAY and ya’ll posted this yesterday! Now I can watch and learn!

@olivierjodoin2283 2 года назад

Really nice playthrough, I liked the open discussion on strategy while playing. This game is really samey after a few plays but the big box completely fixes that. It's fun to evaluate which buildings combo well with each other and plan a strategy on that.

@BorgTube47 Месяц назад

I got the Big Box and am really looking forward to playing. I do think the building aspect really varies up the farmyards.

@doggyaugie 2 года назад

thanks! makes me real excited for your Fields of Arle and Nusfjord coverage...

Naveen didn’t use his first player advantage twice. First was letting Monique get that 6 wood. Then letting Monique get the board extension. Both times, Naveen did actions that he didn’t need to rush for as Monique didn’t have resources to really trouble him.

@FostertheMeeple 2 года назад

Oh boy, we've had this one sitting on our shelves for a little while now 😬You've made me want to play it!!

@shinjial 2 года назад

This is so tight! It does seem to feel like Agricola in that sense. That game is all about timing to max out the resources you get for each action. It looks more fun than the Caverna spin off.

@gee3161 Год назад

Great job guys, love this as a 2 player game

@lorenzohot5234 2 года назад

You guys are awesome!

@BeforeYouPlay 2 года назад

Thank you!!

@benjamindebetencourt1526 2 года назад

Super nice video! I actually wondered how this 2 players version would work out ! I played Agricola last Christmas for the first time and enjoyed it but did not feel like getting it, I felt I'd rather play some other of my big boxes. But this quick easier version seems like a good idea :)

@ColonelKurtz 2 года назад

A:ACBaS Big Box is where it's at. The variety of special buildings keep everything from feeling so samey all the time. We also put out a total of 12 building tiles, per the advanced rules of the Big Box.

@BeforeYouPlay 2 года назад

That's a great point. We'll have to look into the Big Box. It seems everyone agrees that it's the best way to play

@ColonelKurtz 2 года назад

@@BeforeYouPlay I don't think it makes a world of difference, but strategies tend to hinge more around the building tiles- racing to build the seemingly more powerful ones and also figuring out which ones would favor your or your opponent's engine.

@kostishasopoulos9816 Год назад

You need the expansions (buildings) to get replayability and different strategy every time. They bring the game to another level.

@BeforeYouPlay Год назад

I think we will try and get it!

@thomaswilson7718 2 года назад

Thanks again you two :D

@BeforeYouPlay 2 года назад

Our pleasure!

@amethystwolf24572 Год назад

I've never had much interest in Agricola, but I love how tight and quick this game is - and 2p is my most frequent player count!

@bookaddict777 2 года назад

I have never played Agricola (and honestly have no desire to), but I really enjoy this one. Thanks for the play through! Chalfont says "Hello." As soon as Naveen started talking, she was up and watching :)

@BeforeYouPlay 2 года назад

Hahaha Hi Chalfont!!! So cute

@Fissi0nChips 2 года назад

Good vid guys. Fun little game. Naveen goes down in flames again. :D

@CincyAirshipPirate 2 года назад

The Big Box really does change things up - so many buildings! That said, you do have to make yourself explore those specific strategies. Up to you how diverse you make your games.

@smallsirkel5379 2 года назад

does the big box adds time and it being more crunchy? i feel like watching a 42 minute video + teach is too short for my taste and is afraid it might not be that crunchy.

@Iorekbyrnison100 2 года назад

We always buy the "duel," versions of games because we are lazy and they are quick to set up, LOL. This is definitely one of our favorites. Cave v Cave is fun, an the Le Havre one has a really interesting resource management board. Pillars of the Earth has one we like from years ago, and of course 7 Wonders Duel is great. I really enjoy your channel, and hope you do more of these head-to-head two player games.

@dkoudrin 2 года назад

I usually get 2-3 extensions and fill them all, easy points.

@draheim90 2 года назад

Love this game and wish I could get it to the table more. As others have mentioned, the expansion/Big Box adds a ton of special buildings and the game tells you to play with either with 4 or 8 of them available in addition to the standard 4 special buildings, which help negate some of that same-y feel. I also have Caverna: Cave vs Cave but prefer this one a lot more. Cave vs. Cave doesn’t feel very much like Caverna or Agricola but rather is more of a small-box engine builder. I joke that All Creatures Big and Small feels a lot more like Caverna than does Cave vs. Cave.

@BeforeYouPlay 2 года назад

That's really interesting! We've always wondered how Cave vs. Cave was but now we're very intrigued by the Big Box ACBaS. We will definitely look into it. Thanks!

@valentinbecerra8133 2 года назад

Gracias x tanto perdón por tan poco

@MrShaggydave 2 года назад

You have to play the other special buildings for it to really shine (they are different everytime). They are in the bigbox

@BeforeYouPlay 2 года назад

Ooh neat! I can see how the expansion special buildings can really spice things up

@morkar90 2 года назад

The Big Box release is how the game should have been designed and released from the start, imo. It's essential and really elevates the game.

@MrShaggydave 2 года назад

ACBAS is such a nice game, it was painful to watch you guys leave the extension to the 5th round though. I usually build my 1st or 2nd building on the expansion.

@BeforeYouPlay 2 года назад

LOL. Yeah, we're both not very good at it. It seems like one of those guys that you figure out the more you play.

@hisfantor Год назад

I just played for the first time and I really don't get how the segment in the rules "After the 13th sheep, the 11th pig, the 10th cow or the 9th horse, you score 1 extra point for each additional animal." correlates with the table on the box. I get very different results depending on using the rule or just following the chart

@ewa_ce 2 года назад

Ahh! I really like this one. I like Uwe titles but I own only 2: this one and Fields of Arle. 🤩

@coyotemoon722 2 года назад

Fields of Arle 🥰

@BeforeYouPlay 2 года назад

We're super excited about Fields of Arle!!

@autoauto2000 11 месяцев назад

4:25 i think u r wrong the borders come from the reserve ...

@coyotemoon722 2 года назад

Yeah unlike Cave v Cave this one really needs the extra buildings. Excellent game though.

@BeforeYouPlay 2 года назад

Which do you prefer?

@coyotemoon722 2 года назад

@@BeforeYouPlay Ya know, they're both extremely different. It's not like Agricola and Caverna where they're very similar. I think I like Cave v Cave better. It's kind of a lot crunchier in the spacial element and managing resources. Of course both games come in a "Big Box" version which is a tongue in cheek reference since both games only have one expansion. But in addition to the expansion, they come with the new style rocks, reed, wood instead of discs. The expansion for Cave v Cave is great, and a nice to have. I feel like the expansion for All Creatures is a must-have as you get a ton of new buildings and you only lay out like 10 every game, but it opens up a lot of new strategies.
