Troyes Gameplay Runthrough 

Thanks for introducing me to this game, these game mechanics are brilliant! Looks like unlimited replay value as well.

Richard, keep the GREAT videos coming! You do a FANTASTIC job representing the community!

The South Park reference made me LOL "they took our jobs!"

They took our jobs!! That was great :)

I was curious about the Ladies of Troyes expansion. Thanks for playing with it, Richard, so that I could see what it adds to the game. I am going to pick it up.

i have a hard time with the symbology in the game. since the game is real expensive right now i am trying to get the hang of it on boardgamearena.com, but it's tough playing with people i dont know who are already good at it. plus there is a move timer, and all clicks are final. but my wife and i do love thinky euros, and this one definitely makes you think in a unique way.

You always play the fun games and its hitting my pocketbook every other month. :) Are these strategy games the only kind of games you play?

Just a heads up, Troyes re-print is finally out in Europe! I've been itching to try it ever since watching this Runthrough, and hearing Rahdo repeatedly sing its praises...at last it's available at an affordable price :)

I love these videos! Thanks for doing them. I noticed a mistake: @ 14:30 Jen should gain back her two influence (reknown) for placing the two cubes on the event cards.

PS. I forgot to mention I got the ladies of Troyes also. 👍😄

the expansion is on sale right now at coolstuffinc for 19.99 which is a good price

6:05 Whoops, the game goes up to 4 players, not 5.

One the cards that have a delayed effect...lets say you activate it, so you remove a cube, as in the priest, you remove you a cube from the priest card, then you get to add +3 to a yellow die, do you get to add +3 to 3 dice for the cost of 1 cube?

You can see her on the Escape video.

Bought the Troye game based on this review. Also managed to find the Ladies expansion which was difficult to track down. I had a question though. When you purchase a die from an opponent, do you have to spend it straight away? Or can you just add it to your pool? Basically is that purchase action always linked to another action. I can also imagine some players changing their mind about how many dice they put into a particular action. So for example they buy one opponents die at a low cost and then realise that they want to spend more... Just an observation that it is a mechanic which could be missed.

1:12 Love the way you just assumed Hugues was prononced Jacques

7:53 couldn't he use the red "1" dice and the white "2" dice to get rid of the black "4" dice? (1*2 + 2 = 4). Manual doesn't say dice have to be of the same color

Hey Rahdo, do you think it's a good game for 2 players?? I'm beetween kingsburg and troyes to play with my girlfriend

Does anybody haves a clue on where to buy this game on Europe? Reasonable price, I seen it on amazon.de for 130+, It has been impossible to find so far

Rahdo , do you watch the cartoon South Park ??

We never get to see Jen but you talk about her. Maybe you should do a rules explanation and play against her? I think she might beat you :)

@10:10 you knock your yellow 5 over to a 1

Where do I buy this game? It's over 150$ on amazon and ebay..

is the base game worthwhile without the expansion?

I'm confused about how to deal with the points. At the beginning of the game do you flip them all and draw blind when you earn a Victory point or do you look for the value of one with a 1 on it?

😂 6:58 he was about to say "steal our jobs" hahaha

Good to know she's not imaginary! (just kidding, just kidding)

Why isn't the money called "francs"?

this looks pretty finicky and tedious?
