@zachgaskins3731 3 года назад

Something the designer clarified in Discord: if you remove troops using a Combat card (like the second effect of the one demonstrated), you *lose* the strength they contribute (so, in this case, 2 per troop removed). The option is there to allow you to save troops you didn't need for victory, or to get out of a conflict where you aren't going to benefit from. And if you don't have at least one troop deployed when the conflict is resolved, you're not included, no matter how many Swords you revealed earlier. You literally didn't show up. Yes, this could mean rounds where no one fights and no one gets rewards.

@ronaldbell7429 Год назад

Makes sense. I only just purchased it and haven’t played the game yet. But… it seems kind of intuitive that this is how it would work. I take it that it wasn’t felt to be obvious in practice? (Rodney does stress your 2nd point, though, that you have to have troops in the conflict or you’re simply not involved. But it’s probably a point that needs to be stressed, because you could definitely see people wanting to play the card and say “that counts!”)

@Mis7erSeven 7 месяцев назад

It seems intuitive that you need to have a troop in the conflict, not just swords. An army with only weapons but no soldiers can't win a war.

Jamey Stegmeier doesn't even know that the resource is called Spice. He couldn't remember it in a recent video. I'm not really a Dune nutcase (though I've always held it highly compelling and influential), but I find it sad that any prolific designer doesn't know much about Frank Herbert's opus, as it has to be one of the most important works of the 20th century. Designers: Reading is more important than your haircut. Please.

Great job as always, Rodney! Excellent rundown of the rules. Initially seemed overly complex (the 31-minute runtime was telling) but you broke it down until the basic mechanics revealed themselves. So it's worker-placement with a bit of deck-building plus combat on Arrakis--I love it already!

@TheTheshadow32 2 года назад

I had the game on my shelves for 3 months. The rules looked daunting. But after watching this video I was ready to play in less than an hour! Luckily I already know a few deck building games but this channel is really superb. NOT only to study new rules but also to relearn games you did not play for a longer period of time. One small REMARK though. In these COVID times it is perhaps good to make a small attachment about the solo play. Lots of people would like that in these times, I am sure about that. Side note: I got beaten heavely by both bots in my first 2 games 😀

@rickadam6051 3 года назад

Thank you so much for all you do, you have been a major help to me and my enjoyment in this wonderful hobby. I always search to see if you've done a video on how to play anytime I get a new game, or sometimes even if I'm just thinking about getting one. For games I know how to play confidently, but maybe haven't played in awhile, I will always look up your video to remind myself of set up, and having the time sections broken up, makes it so easy to find something if there was one rule I wanna remind myself of before playing. Not only that, during the pandemic I've gotten my sister into board games and we play games online, and/or over a webcam. If I send her a new game or we're gonna play one online, I just send her the link to your video, and it makes learning it that much easier. So again thank you, second only to the people who play the games with me, you make being in this hobby better for me!

@WatchItPlayed 3 года назад

Rick that is an incredibly kind thing for you to share - it really means a lot to me to know that the videos have been helpful, and that they have been making your time in the hobby more enjoyable. Here's to more fun games and gaming in the future!

@ronaldbell7429 Год назад

It’s kind of funny… I don’t play a lot of worker-placement games. But I’ve played “Lords of Waterdeep” and I found myself realizing that although there seem to be a ton of rules, each of those spaces really does a remarkably good job of telling you how they work. It might not actually be that complicated a game. I agree with you though, that it sure seems complicated the first time you go through a rules-explanation. And I plan to watch one more time before I break out my box for the first time ;)

@sweetnessek 5 месяцев назад

My wife and i check out board games from our public library, and i wrote a note to check out your channel for help for a game that had an intricate setup... we checked out Dune, about a year later, and it had a qr code to this video.

This actually looks like a really interesting game. Deck builders are a hard sell for me these days, since they are so similar to eachother, but this looks very unique with how your cards are useable in different ways and all the things happening on the board.

Watching the video everything seems simple and streamlined so far, except for conflict resolution when there are ties etc. Oof... that could be better indicated on the reward cards themselves... rather than having it be a confusing rule set you must remember.

@WatchItPlayed 9 месяцев назад

Yeah the tie rules feel like "something" when they are all explained out, but in practice I'm optimistic you'll find they aren't so clunky. Sometimes the "explaining" is more fussy than the doing. Have a great time playing Jeff!

Best video I found. I went from "game Ill never play because the rules are overcomplicated" to "best game ive played in ages"

@WatchItPlayed 2 года назад

So very nice to know the video helped you get up and going, and that you enjoyed the game!

Hi Rodney, I love your videos especially the conciseness and the structure to lead the viewer through the game. I have one question: would you consider releasing a video of your general approach to a rule book or in other words “a teach the teach” video ? Thanks for your great work easing the burden of teaching games!

@WatchItPlayed 3 года назад

It's something I have thought about, and if I find a good window in my production schedule to do it, I'd like to be able to.

Honestly, why are there people dislikng this? I don't understand. You're doing such a great job, even with complicated games like Dune Imperium. You made me want to buy this game! First testing it on TTS though. ;-) Thanks Rodney and greetings from Germany!

I know it’s already been said by others, but this was such a good video. Both thorough and concise. The explanations don’t drag on, and you do a very nice job of knowing when to say, “I haven’t explained this part yet, but I’ll get to it.” Thanks for this video.

@27:16 "Additionally -- and this is very easy to forget -- but now, any time a conflict card is revealed at the beginning of the round, that shares the name of the space where you have a control flag, you may immediately choose to move one troop from your supply, directly into the conflict." To combat this and adopt a useful mnemonic, I advise everyone to simply place one of their cubes from the supply, on the control marker itself. The presence of that weirdly placed cube is enough to suggest the need for an update during Round Start, as you can easily glance over the spaces and get reminded of this additional troop placement. (Do not replenish this cube until the conflict is resolved, so that it marks the state of acknowledgement. I.e. if there is no cube on the control marker, its absence should denote that you've used this extra ability for this round. That said, do not forget to replenish it in the Recall phase.) Frankly, the iconography regarding the troop deployment could've been better. I can't suggest how exactly, the designers were probably trying to tackle and streamline this from many angles, until they felt this was good enough, but I'm seeing that everyone has a step memorization issue when it comes to moving cubes to garrisons and/or conflict area. But other than that, this is a very neat hybrid design. I didn't like Clank! that much, but this is a much more evolved and involved, more deep, thematic and practical board game. It is also funny to me how it successfully uses some elements of an unpublished game I've been designing throughout the last year -- in other words, how we're seemingly tapping into the same unknown, without communicating to each other. It's the little details I don't fret too much about, because whoever comes first serves as a perfect case study of what could've be done better.

It wasn't until we were at the end of the game and I was taking my final few actions with the whole game just not really working until I realised we had set up from the start totally wrong. Our game board was set up to the right of the table, about 19cm off centre. Really clicked once it was put into centre.

@@WatchItPlayed Have you ever seen a Deck Builder that wasn't a "hand dumper". This is the first time I've ever seen one where you have to tactically manage your hand. Every other deckbuilder you just dump your hand on the table and get all the effects lol. I love the idea of playing 1 card at a time and having to CHOOSE which to save to buy cards (+get other effects)
