30:07 Nick would not be able to build his Aviary along with a one and two enclosure. He would've needed to spend his X tokens to make it a build strength of 8 to complete all 3 of those enclosures.

@matthewchrzan7074 2 года назад

Great playthrough. Impressed with your speed of play. This game hits all the boxes for me especially because of the theme, but our first few games took 2.5 hours at 2 players due to efficiency issues and card draws. My favorite zoo animals are snow leopards...closely followed by meerkats and ring-tailed lemurs

@TheBrothersMurph 2 года назад

Great picks for animals! And we agree this game ticks a lot of boxes. The game at times can be longer or shorter based on getting the cards to feed the engine you're building that's for sure but it's nice that at 2 it can definitely cook along nicely

@darrengrabe4179 2 года назад

@Pirrekurr 2 года назад

I really liked your playthrough. I saw a mistake that you did and points it out for the future. In about 59:00 Nick plays the Sun Bear. His power Action Assosiation is after finishing the Animals action.That means that you first finish the animal action and move the animal card to 1. Then you do the Association action which will be at 3, not 2. Also, after that the Association action will move to 1. But a great playthrough. I keep telling people the game isn't as long as they say if you know what you're doing.

@TheBrothersMurph 2 года назад

Good catch and agree once folks know the game I think it speeds up considerably

@jefff.2052 2 года назад

I don't get Mike's last turn. He had Association at 3, and 3 X's, right? That's a total of 6. He needed 8 to do both tasks, but got a discount of 1 one the Conservation project, so he needed 7. 4 and then 3. I think he counted the discount twice by saying the 6 counted as 7. He needed 7 to count as 8.

This is possible. I remember counting to 7 which is what I needed but I may have made a goof. We human after all

@bmans0 Год назад

Hey guys! Great playthrough and helped my figure out some of the things we've been doing wrong. However, isn't it illegal to up your action to more than 5? I see in the last turn that it's upgraded to 7 with 2 x tokens, but in my (Dutch) rulebook it says "A power can never be more than 5". (Page 8, first paragraph under "the 5 action cards")

@TheBrothersMurph Год назад

As far as we know you can move up beyond 5, but it's possible we've been playing that wrong

@chayashida Год назад

I just got the game recently. In the English rulebook, also page 8, it says: "You can use as many X-tokens as you like in one action. With some actions, however, a strength greater than 5 no longer improves the action." So they might have clarified the rules in a newer version of the rulebook, but it definitely sounds like X > 5 is allowed. I think one of the sponsor cards I saw had a level of 6, so I suspect the way they played was correct.

@ertai222 2 года назад

What is the Snap action again? You can either draw or snap?

@ertai222 2 года назад

It's nothing like Terraforming Mars from what I can see. Other than being a card based board game.

@chayashida Год назад

After playing both, I think the "cool' mechanism in this game is definition the action cards and how they get more powerful when they aren't used right away. Terraforming Mars is more about the card combos and racing for the goals or "good" spaces on the board. I like both games, but they definitely feel different.

I take it you can't have more animals in play than you have enclosures correct? You can't have more than one animal in the same enclosure? So if you had for example three animals then you would have to have three enclosures and if you wanted to play more animals you would therefore have to build more enclosures first? Oh nvm? So long as an enclosure has enough space you can have multiple animals. Like later in the game you had multiple birds in your five enclosure space. If you want to put multiple animals into the same enclosure you have to put those cubes that correspond with your color to represent that you have multiple animals in there?

@TheBrothersMurph 2 года назад

Correct for the most part, one animal, one enclosure. Certain animal cards can break that and then the special enclosures can have multiples
