Excellent show. After an episode I not only have a good feel for the rules, but also how the game plays and if I'd enjoy it. The only thing I'd like to see is some overlays added in post production, like an image of a card/tile popping up on the screen as it is played, or updates to the score as the game progresses
I totally with everyone who suggests overlays. No need to go as far as they do on tabletop, just a quick closeup of the tile as it is drawn would do. Thanks though - an immensely helpful video.
I don't think Dave's goal is a very good one; intentionally keeping your reputation low so as to complete that goal seems likely to either cost you more points or very close to as many points as it gets you in the endgame. I never like bonus goals where completing them is unlikely to ever get you a very big net payout, and can actually hurt you.
The time it takes to explain rules doesn't necessarily mean it's more complicated...nothing about this game is really complicated but there is a lot of things to know, which takes time to explain...a lot to know does not equal complicated
I know this is *way* late, but just now watching this and it needs to be corrected if anyone ever reads these comments: you only pay if it's a *negative* number, not an odd number.
