London is a great game, one of my all time favorites. Thanks for the excellent video! I was disappointed to hear that the reprint was doing away with the city board and replacing the area control aspect of the game with Borough cards. However, I think I actually may like it better now that you've demonstrated how the change works. The updated artwork and card design is very nice too. I plan on getting a copy after watching this.

@AlexandreOliveiraMCZ 2 года назад

Thanks for the great How to Play, as per usual. One quick question though, at around 10:40 shouldn't another poverty cube be added? Due to the black cube with the plus symbol on the bottom right corner of the district. I believe it was said, just before, the districts activate when you run your city, Thanks again, all the best.

@WatchItPlayed 2 года назад

Yep, you're absolutely right. In this example I was explaining the general rules for poverty when you run your city, so I didn't address that specific card effect. I really should have put another borough on screen to prevent confusion, or at least re-said what I had just mentioned in the previous scene.

Hi, Great video, but I've a doubt. In minute 8:50 with the card "Police Force", both effects of the cards could be done when you run your city? Or, you must to choose one of them? (Between the top one or the bottom one divided by the line with the point in the center) We play choosing one of them, but maybe we're playing wrong. Congratulations for the great video

@WatchItPlayed 6 лет назад

Thanks for checking out the video! You do indeed claim both the top and bottom benefits of the card when running your city.

@darrenw2 3 года назад

@lucaspiccoli7090 6 лет назад

Hi Rodney! Amazing video, as always. Rules question: Let's say I take a develop city action and I cover a face up card on a stack with a new one. When I later run my city, do I activate both of them or only VISIBLE face up cards can be activated? I'm assuming it's the latter. What about Omnibus which gathers coins during the game. If I cover it with another card then I guess all those coins are lost right? Thanks!

@WatchItPlayed 6 лет назад

Only the topmost, face up card is activated when you run your city. If you cover the Omnibus, you lose all the coins that were on it.

@macragge79 Год назад

Hi! Is it correct - in your example to Gaining poverty while Running the City you would gain one More poverty for the building active- right? Thanks for your Videos!

@WatchItPlayed Год назад

Hey Christian, I just happen to be traveling right now and can’t easily look up the answer on this right now - I’d normally want to help!

@FodensTrom 6 лет назад

So can you develop your city before purchasing a borough? Or must you own a borough to develop it?

@WatchItPlayed 6 лет назад

+Ben Knowles You do not need a borough in order to run your city.

@justinschicker8424 5 лет назад

Can anyone tell me the differences between the first and second edition? I don’t see any secondary effects to owning boroughs in the first edition.

@WatchItPlayed 3 года назад

Did you end up finding an answer to this? I haven't have the first edition, so not easy for me to check.

@RomanQrr 6 лет назад

@WatchItPlayed 6 лет назад

@salty-horse 6 лет назад

Wow, interesting change with the removed map. This is unexpected! Rodney, in the old rules, you discard cards to the top row, and when that's full, to the bottom row, and when that's full, you discard the top row (containing the oldest discarded cards). In your video at 4:45, the bottom row (with the newer cards) is discarded instead of the top row. Is this a change for this edition?

@WatchItPlayed 6 лет назад

I haven't played the original, but I can tell you that the way it's shown here, is how this edition works.

@pawewozniak1906 3 года назад

can you skip your turn entirely or you must perform one of four available?

@WatchItPlayed 3 года назад

Hey Paweł, you MUST perform one of the 4 actions.

@felipealvarez1982 Год назад

Is there a limit on the number of poverty cubes, coins, loans, or other components? I didn't find this in the rulebook?

@WatchItPlayed Год назад

Nope, no limits.

@Vadimaster 6 лет назад

I own the original version of this game. That also had Underground stations you could put on your boroughs for extra points. I assume that has been removed from this game?

@WatchItPlayed 6 лет назад

There are Underground station cards, but they've been modified to work with this games version of the boroughs.

@trentvansant2250 4 года назад

So a 2 player game will have the same deck size as a 4 player?

@WatchItPlayed 4 года назад

Been awhile since I shot this, but if the video doesn't say to remove any for a 2 player game, then you don't - hope that helps!

@fernandocalahorro 6 лет назад

Do you think this edition rules ' modifications will improve the game?

@WatchItPlayed 6 лет назад

I never played the original, and I avoid reviewing, but I suspect it will depend on what you like in games. For some it will be an improvement, and others might prefer the old map. For me it was a way to discover a classic game I had never tried before. From what I understand about the map, by using cards, you'll now have more varied games, because you won't have the same fixed layout every time. But again, it'll depend on what you personally like and prefer.

@fernandocalahorro 6 лет назад

Thank you for your answer. I expect overall they did it to improve the game. I hope the do. Thanks

@stephen227 4 года назад

@SunnyNeuroshima 6 лет назад

Thanks for making a point that the game’s currency is pounds. Too many reviewers refer to game currency as “dollars” or “bucks” irrespective of the actual name of the currency; it’s lazy and unprofessional. Not a major issue but just a pet hate of mine. Another great tutorial video. You may or may not be surprised to learn that I have based many of my game purchases on whether you have produced a tutorial video for it. You should be on commission!

@WatchItPlayed 6 лет назад

I'm sure I've slipped up on this in the past (it's an easy mistake to make when you have certain currencies ingrained in your head), but glad I managed to do it right here :)

@FrankMinogue 6 лет назад

We are loving this game. Very challenging to strategize!! One question. The rule book in “Developing Your City” says that if a card has an “ongoing ability” it comes into effect as it is placed in the building display, and ceases to be in effect as soon as the card is flipped face down or is covered by another card. I don’t know what this means. Is this referring to effects that do not have an activation cost?

@WatchItPlayed 6 лет назад

There are a couple days (I think one is called Shop), that have an ability that is ongoing. It says something along the lines of "each time you add a building to your area, add a coin to this card"). Once the shop is flipped over or covered up, that effect would end.

@FrankMinogue 6 лет назад

Watch It Played Huh? Days? Cards? Yes, shop, I know it has an affect that says add a coin for each card you add. If you think of any others, let me know. I looked through, and I did not see any that seemed to make any sense to be immediately effective. That one, we did right, because I did play it, and I played it first and then added three more cards so I got three pounds added right away. I ran my city the next turn, so it was flipped.

@WatchItPlayed 6 лет назад

Sorry, weird typo. Days = Cards, yes.

@joelbergvonlinde1389 6 лет назад

Hmmn, I don't remember getting poverty for loans in the old edition? Do I remember wrong or is this to counter buying the burrows early to avoid poverty? This new version looks amazing

@WatchItPlayed 6 лет назад

I never played the original, so I can't say, but the way it's shown here is how the new version works.

@joelbergvonlinde1389 6 лет назад

Watch It Played Yeah, I understood as much. The new rules just seem smarter than the old ones, that's all

@kennethgestiehr6975 6 лет назад

You remember correctly. The old version had no poverty penalty for loans. I suspect it is a change to balance out the changes to the Burroughs and/or It might also be a change to incentivize early repaying of loans. In the original, even though you could repay loans early, there were zero strategic situations where that made sense. Best case you broke even, worse case you repaid 15 pounds for your loan and then had to take a loan in a later turn which would put you in a worse position than if you just waited until the end of game to pay your loans.
