I just came across your videos, they're really good. Vital Lacerda is my favorite designer so I've thought about this before. Interestingly Luca and I have some similarities and some big differences in our rankings, mine would be: 1. CO2 2. Kanban 3. Lisboa 4. On Mars 5. The Gallerist 6. Vinhos 7. Escape Plan
Been wanting to get this to the table again so watching the playthrough again to sort of scratch that itch. As for rankings: 1a. The Gallerist 1b. Lisboa 2. Vinhos 3. CO2 (coop version) 4. On Mars 5. Kanban EV 6. Escape Plan
Your game on two was very different to the full game (of four) we had yesterday. In our game there was a fierce competition of getting the visitors in your galleries. I think this is the way Vital Lacerda designed the game to be played. In your game it was literally a walk in the park as you didn't really fight for the visitors :P
@1:43 I always thought that Ian O'Toole has one of the most varied art styles out there. If I didn't know otherwise, I would have guessed Lisboa, Escape Plan, Nemo's War, etc. all had different artists. Compare that to artists like Klemens Franz, Vincent Dutrait, or Mihajlo Dimitrievski who have wonderful, but recognizable art from game to game.
You know, you're right actually! I was used to seeing Ian 'O toole's artstyle on Lacerda games and associated it with the lighter color scheme and rounded corner-box style layouts of say Vinhos, and Lisboa. However, I believe he also did the art for Pipeline, amongst others and I didn't recognize it initially. In short, he is amazing lol
Loved this. Thank you for you explanation. I have been wanting to jump into Vital’s games, but felt a bit unprepared. You videos have really helped to get me ready and remove the fear factor.
Learning The Gallerist with you guys. Can’t wait to play it!! Great job! You guys are so professional at playthroughs! Even when you do mistakes or laugh you seem so professional 😊. Kudos for that
Hi guys, thank you so much for another great video. Just discovered your series and for me you are the #1 RU-vid channel about boardgames! Highly informational, very 'real', to the point and best of all: fun! Talking about fun, which Vital Lacerda game would you consider to be the most FUN? Thanks again and cheers from Belgium! Cis
First of all, I would like to say thank you to the both of you for creating amazing playthrough content like this, especially when board games can cost between $100-200. As a newbie in the hobby, I am trying to venture out of my comfort zone and want to try more heavier games, but always had a fear that the rules and playthrough would be too complex for me to grasp. After watching your #VitalLecerda series, I feel more confident, and purchased Lisboa and On Mars. I will most probably rewatch your videos when I receive the games lol. I think you have gotten me hooked on purchasing all the Vital games. The art by Ian is so good, and just looking at the boards makes me want to play the game. And a special thank you to Monique for being such an awesome teacher! Looking forward to more content from the both of you!
@@BeforeYouPlay Yes we enjoyed it a lot! I had only played Vinhos in the past and kickstarted kanban/gallerist. Kanban is next! I should have picked up Lisboa too cause after watching your review of it now I know I'll have to get it one day.
Thanks for the video! It really helps to understand the rules and flow of the game 🙂 I recently got three Lacerda games (Lisboa, Vinhos and Gallerist) but I can't find time and courage to learn them haha Your videos will definitely help.
AMAZING series throughout...You guyss ROCK...!! This series got me into Lacerda games and now i am a big fan.!! Going to play this soon...have played Vinhos, CO2 and Escape plan and loved them all...especially Escape plan (certainly the most thematic game i have ever played).!! Can't seem to find On Mars and Lisboa is India as of now 😢
Nice playthrough! Clean, clear and crisp. Like the way you present it, then play it and eventually review it. Will now for sure get into the other Lacerda play throughs you did. I own three of them and love the thought that went into the theming combo with mechanics. Topped off with the great artwork and design from Ian O'Toole. But great job 'Before you Play'.
Wonderful vid! Wonderful game. This was the first heavy euro I owned (played Tzolk'in and Terra Mystica on board game arena first) and my wife and I still love it! I think I like Lisboa slightly better, but this is lighter and snappier and amazing nonetheless.
Good timing! Played my first game of The Gallerist (3p) on Tabletopia last night :) All of us were new to this. I gotta say I really enjoyed it a lot! Felt a bit like Vinhos but slower and more open. And I think if a game is good online, it'll be even better with physical components, whereas a 'meh' game will still be 'meh' even with a proper board. I have a feeling that this will top Vinhos and On Mars for me, but Lisboa is still the #1 Lacerda I've played. CO2 I really need to get on the table again to make my mind of it, although I really enjoyed it as well. And I wouldn't be surprised if I end up keeping all the Lacerdas I have bought / ordered: Lisboa, Vinhos, CO2, Gallerist, and Kanban EV.
Yeah I absolutely agree, if a game is good online...it MUST be fantastic physically. I'm curious to see how your opinion grows after several plays. I'm so happy to hear that you are enjoying those Lacerdas!
I don't know why I love the Lacerda/O'Toole games so much, but I do. I'm not very good at this on, On Mars, Escape Plan, or Lisboa (the ones I own) but I love them. I'm really looking forward to getting Kanban EV. Thank you both so much, I love your content and am very grateful that Ant Lab Games turned me onto you guys.
Love your videos. The teach and play was nicely structured an explained. It will help me a lot when it comes time to tackle this one. Keep up the great work!
Hi you guys. Another great video♥️. Thank you for sharing. Surprisingly, this is one I have never tried. I've always wanted to, but I guess I've just never had the opportunity. I think I might need to find a way to play this.
The best part of your play is the rock, paper, scissors bit. It’s 🤣😂🤣. This is such a good game. It’s a coin toss for me in fav between this and Lesboa. Try the original Vinhos. It’s very different to the revised 2016 addition.
@@stevegeorge7773 ah okay, I thought it is the same if they played on 2010 board anyway. going to buy one, but I guess 2016 art is too good to comparing 2010 1st edition version. Can you tell how big the differences are?
LOL i'm glad you enjoy the rock, paper, scissors as much as we do! I've been meaning to try the original Vinhos and now you make me want to search for it harder haha.
Watching through these Lacerda videos. The three that interest me the most are this, Lisboa, and CO2 Second Chance. How would you rank these in easiest to hardest to 'grok'?
Another great tutorial/play through....I love The Gallerist however I do have one criticism. The International Market feels tacked on. It lacks the theme the rest of the game has in spades. Would have been great if you could have an auction of your art rather than simply selling it for the fame star level.
Ahh yes I see what u mean. I agree, theme-wise that section definitely feels the most detached. I appreciate the end-of-game auction for the other pieces of art but it would be nice to see more in-game application
Hi guys! Question: when you place an assistant on your contract card as one of your executive actions, when does the assistant go back to the office? Also what happens to the assistant when you flip the contract card?
Your second question is the answer for the first one! When you sell an art piece, the assistant (if any) on the associated contract goes back to your empty office space (if any) immediately. This is the same as "flipping the contract card". The other scenario is when you replace a fulfilled contract with an assistant on it, that assistant also goes back to the empty office space (if any) immediately. You'll be performing any of these 2 actions at the top location.
We attended DTW 2019, we were set to go this year but had to change plans due to a family emergency. Hopefully life can get back to normal for next years conventions!!
We very much enjoyed this play through. If you liked this you will love Lisboa. I'm curious because I've only played at 2p. Does the mid-point and the end game come very close to each other with more players like it does with 2p? Also follow our Instgram account @2boardplayers
I don't think that is always the case with 2P. I've played games where it has happened much earlier than the end of the game, but I would say a majority of the time for me it happens in the 2nd half. Thank you for watching! i'll check out your IG
