Looks pretty neat! Lots of strategy, and you know how much I love a good strategy game!! Great job on the video, of course! No doubt, you are the measuring stick by which all others are compared, and you are the best!

@SunnyNeuroshima 5 лет назад

This game doesn't interest me but I wanted to say thanks for your consistently high quality output. Must be like hitting the jackpot for a designer's/publisher's game to make it onto a WIP tutorial. I bet games that feature on your channel sell considerably more than they otherwise would. In the past, I know I've based my purchasing decisions on the fact there's a WIP video for a game. Absolutely sterling job, sir. You're an indispensable asset to the hobby.

@WatchItPlayed 5 лет назад

Thank you for the kind words as usual Sunny - always appreciated!

@MystiqWisdom 4 года назад

This doesn't affect the quality, in fact it increases it, but I think every WIP video is now sponsored by the publisher of whatever game it is. I think in the past, Rodney did do WIP videos for games he wanted to do them for, but nowadays if you have a lineup of publisher's at your door with money in hand, it's hard to do videos for your personal favourites. This is not a knock at all. Rodney and his crew do amazing work.

Great video! I just bought Tiny Towns and, as I always do before playing a new game, I came to your channel to learn how to play.

You present it such a clear way. A game I'm really looking foward to get. I don't so often get hooked before playing a game but just see the genious in the design.

There's a lot about that game that I like. The variety of buildings to help mix things up from play to play looks pretty robust.

Another outstanding video, Rodney! I have been following this channel for a while now, and any new game we get, there is most likely a video by you. You explain everything so easily and throughly, we love it! I just got this game from my brother for my birthday this passed weekend and it seems right up my/our alley! Looking forward to playing a few rounds with the wife and family, thanks again for wonderful tutorials! 😄

This is a fantastic game we got because of your videos on the series! I absolutely LOVE how they have an easy variant. So few games have that, especially spatial ones! I am horrific with spatial games, and my husband is a whiz. XD Neither one of us like it when he wins a game by like 50+ points. XD So, in Tiny Towns, I play with the easy variant (leave a max of 2 cubes in a "bank" to place on my map whenever I want) and my husband plays the game normally, and our scores are always close!

@WatchItPlayed 2 года назад

@danielvonankh 4 года назад

That is interesting. I got the German version of the game today and here the resource distribution with cards is the default ruleset and the master builder rules are the variant. I guess they think that the variant with less player interactivity is better for the European market.

Slick new intro! Question about 6:00-6:15 : can you "double feed" cottages, or only get points once, for each fed cottage? Seems like the second farm is kind of a waste in that current configuration (of course more might be added later).

@WatchItPlayed 5 лет назад

You can't double feed. Yeah the example was to explain for the rule worked - hopefully that player would build a few more cottages before the game ends :)

@valerierottet5355 Год назад

Hey thanks for this video. In one of the last moves a player called glass to stop another player from making a structure, but that player had a glass factory. In this instance wouldn't the player with the glass factory be allowed to select a different resource because of the factory?

@WatchItPlayed Год назад

I would think so (it's hard for me to say for sure, because I'm making assumptions about the situation, but based on what your saying, and my understanding of the situation, yes).

@jeremyjcpaul 5 лет назад

With the Inn, does that mean you're able to score a maximum of 12 points? For example it has to be the only Inn in that row and column...or is it just that it has to be alone in either the row or column?

@WatchItPlayed 5 лет назад

Hey Jeremy, thanks for checking out the video. While I do try to answer all questions on the videos I make, I avoid getting into specific card effects, as that would be a little more than I could manage across all my videos. I do recommend visiting the Tiny Towns forums on BoardGameGeek for that though!

@whcmason Год назад

How do you score a factory at the end? If I have a factory and it has a cube on it, what is the scoring? Do I take a point off because of the cube on top or no?

@WatchItPlayed Год назад

The Factory you see in this video doesn't score you points, it gives you an ongoing benefit during the game. Hope that helps!

@jry40 4 года назад

What happens when you get the hammer (master builder) but all your squares are full with resources and buildings, but you CAN build? You can't call a resource...so do you build and then call one?

@WatchItPlayed 4 года назад

When your town is filled with resources and you cannot (or choose not to) construct any buildings, your town is completed. You are out of the game and can start calculating your score. So on the turn where you filled your board, your time in the game ended, and you would not be passed the hammer (it would go to the next player).

@dfreshv 5 лет назад

Is it possible to completely fill up your town with buildings? Won't there inevitably be one space left which you cannot fill (assuming there are no buildings that require only one resource)?

@WatchItPlayed 5 лет назад

Correct.

@dfreshv 5 лет назад

@@WatchItPlayed Kinda weird that you are guaranteed -1 in scoring then. Feels like it should be -1 for each blank space after the first one, or rework the way blank spaces are scored in general. I get the "reward efficiency" element of penalizing players for planning inefficiently, but it feels clunky that no matter what you do you'll still be punished (granted 1 point isn't much but still)

@chadkrizan9864 5 лет назад

@@dfreshv I'd wager this is just for ease of rules. It's much easier to remember -1 per empty space than it is to remember -1 per empty space after the first one.

@lewjiayun7098 5 лет назад

May I ask if this will this be a suitable 2P game, given that there could be a possibility that both players end up building almost the same type of buildings? (If there's no intention to prevent blocking/disrupting the building intentions of the other player)? Will appreciate if anyone could evaluate the suitability of this game for 2P as well! Thank you so much :)

@WatchItPlayed 5 лет назад

As that's more of a review question, I won't be able to address that. I can say that in my experience with 2P games, people did not build the same patterns, but your mileage may vary.

Does anyone know the advantage of the Bank building? You can put a resource on It, but can no longer call that one during your turn. Does it count as a permanent resource in that spot, or anywhere on the board? The rules are not clear.

@WatchItPlayed 2 года назад

I do my best to answer all rules questions on the games I cover, but I avoid individual card effects, as that's a level of detail beyond what I can manage across all the videos I do. I'd suggest checking the rules forum for the game on BoardGameGeek or the publishers website. I hope you can find your answer there - have fun playing!

@tjwright 3 года назад

What I like about this game, is there really isn't any luck involved. It's pure skill / smarts. It's a real brain-teaser, and it really favors the player with good spacial ability, flexibility, and ability to think many moves ahead. You can't blame your loss on bad rolls or bad draws. It's all up to your own planning and skill. The towers are really the only thing that involves a little chance. Also, I find this game gets harder and more frustrating with more players. I like it as a small 2-3 person game.
