Great vid, Paul. Another game (both boxes) ordered after watching one of your videos. That makes it... Calculating.... My wife says too many... Recalculating... A great use of my time. Cheers!
Hi Paul, watched both videos after the fact: very impressed how well you managed to show off these games. When the rulebook was released I found it near impossible to get a sense of the flow of the game or even what players were actually supposed to be doing (beyond just taking arbitrary turns until the game ends) -- but these videos made everything click very quickly. The bot especially seemed to play very smoothly and you obviously had its routine down by the end of the second game (even though the bots were different in each game). Were you able to pick everything up from just the rulebook, or did you have a lot of questions for the designers before starting the first stream?
Ordered both sets on the strength of these playthroughs. Hard to get a sense of the game-flow when so much of it is tied to card effects, but this looks really excellent :D (not a jab at the game btw. Tom Lehmann has identified a similar "problem" with his games, and they tend to be some of my favorites)
Is that Unification episode from Star Trek TNG the one where Sela appears, the half-romulan daughter of Lt. Yar from the alternate time line they created when they sent back the Enterprise C? My mind was blown away with that episode. They took a detail of a previous episode which apparently was sec contained and created a 2-part episode from the ripple effect since that episode. That was brilliant, at that time at least.
@@jerryf196 I do not. I'm more of a rules guy, and I've not played the game anywhere near enough to be able to come up with any specific strategies for any of the factions.
Came here for the gameplay video, but I after many times seeing and dismissing this American is going to buy jaffa cakes. Wondering if Jacobs or McVitie's is the way to go. Help! I'm ignorant in such things!
