Tips 5 is a bit off, the level 1 card which require 2-1 is crucial to build your level 3 card, however the level 2 card 2-3-3 or 2-2-3 with 1 point is literally trash, cost a lot of resource with only 1 point.

This is amazing, I won a tournament in HCM city last month and the atmosphere is the same, I fully understand the level 1 card hold of the champion which makes him a pretty resource advantage very early in the game. It is very fun to watch, thank you.

Interesting that they found Tachion's to be the strongest faction when it's usually considered among the weakest ones, but it's easy to play.

Great advice but saying "dollars " is sacrilegious!!

Fantastic video. Fantastic tournment. 100% fun! Such great games to compete and to play for fun in the open gaming. Hope to see you all in 2025.

So I'm guessing no girls enter the tournaments with a male ring like that as the reward.

I'm glad I got a number of plays under my belt before watching this most of this information was things I was already doing while playing it's just helped cement a lot of the ideas I had as well as providing a bit of context but it was nice to sort of figure out the game (at least the broad strokes) on my own

Wheres the link to the commentated final????

Move fast 1st delivery always to Cansas Prioritize speed upgrade on black disks, on white disks income and cards Buildings and placements matter Specialize in hiring Las Vegas 😸

Thanks for the tips! Everyone is saying how important to get up two steps on the Conservation track, but no one says which of the choices is better! Sure, you could say "it depends", but isn't there one of them that is usually better?! I would think it's getting one more association worker?

Great vid Chris! It was nice to meet you at WSBG. Totally agree with your closing comments about how great this community is! I’m also glad to see the footage of all the Ring Winners doing their green screen posing, it’s so good haha!

100% our favorite con. The competition was way harder this year than last year. I think a lot of people prepared more. Can’t wait for 2025

Is/did anyone stream the ark nova game 2024? I want to watch from home

I have a bad feeling for the new map, too dependent on early project, too luck base for tournament

Why would they change attacking cards ?

This map should fix the problems of racing uni in 4players game because you no longer need 2uni for an upgrade. Also, snapping is nerfed in this map. Although you can discard a card to boost 1strength, it is kinda not worth.

A card upgrade per uni and partner zoo and the reputation on extra worker seems interesting. Really kinda favours getting an extra worker early as for example partner zoo/uni into project + worker and then zoo/uni should easily enable 3 upgrades early. And then you can do uni + zoo again next round (typically the downside of early worker is other player rushing the round or not having a project to do but being incentivized to do partner zoo and uni at same time benefits that). The discard for power ability also seems interesting might make the whole thing just stronger than snapping especially as this map seems to give a lot of reputation midgame with that 3 rep reward and two from workers. Seems like it will be pretty common to get effectively 4 rep (3 from bonus which gives extra worker). Not sure if i like the map that way, could be a bit snowbally. Many openings could easily use that 3 rep for a second worker early but way better as you also kinda get snapping power that way. Without snapping reward reputation already gets far more important.

anything about TM new promo?

The workers giving reputation is another interesting change. Looking forward to seeing how it plays out, hopefully the map doesn't get vetoed too much. Good luck to everyone participating!

Aw, man, I really want to go!

I think it's so interesting how in tournament play, reserved cards are face down so other players I suppose have to remember what cards their opponents reserved. In our family games, we handle reserved cards by having them turned sideways so we know they aren't in play yet. The only time we keep them face down is if we reserve a card from the deck vs. one of the ones on display in game. Do the rules specify it should be done one way or the other? Edit: Commentator addresses this at about the 25:00 marker. That's interesting that in tournaments, once a card is reserved it stays face down until purchased so it's incumbent on rival players to mentally track all of that. I'm not a big fan of that tournament rule if that is standard practice. The other thing that bugs me is how they stack their chips. I think they should be at least a little staggered like the top left player demonstrates his hand at 19:35 so players can track how many gems opponents have on hand and of what colors. I similarly think that bit is "public knowledge" that shouldn't be hidden in any way.

Reguarding @ 6:40, one thing I learned is going for the color that will interact with the most nobles is a mistake because there will be a lot more competition for those, especially among the players that are going for the nobles. Doing the opposite and ramping up a color that only 1 or 2 nobles need will leave those cards mostly free game for you.

For Tip #2 you didn't really explain why it was so important to go first though? Sorry bit of a noob at this game! You mention to establish chokepoint or getting the valuable spaces first but what spaces are those?

If I purchase a Open Gaming ticket would I be able to watch any of the ring games?

I believe this year we are only using the bird side at WSBG… right?

To reply to tip number 2, if you have extra bird cards at the end of the game, is that also seen as a waste and not efficient?

Question: will an Activation power trigger another player's Pink power bird? Such as an activation power that lets you Lay an egg on another bird. Will that trigger a Pink Power which is activated when another player lays eggs?

Whoever set up the lighting & camera angle, but didn't bother to check to see all the glare at start is a moron - & barely watchable.

that single factory display our of place of the center circle is driving me crazy!! why doesnt anyone fix it lol

I believe the finals was my 6th game of Red Cathedral.

Thanks Chris for the great tips! I’m preparing for WSBG and always watch these videos when learning a game. Tip 6 is really interesting to me. I wonder how hard it is to win if you’re specialising in the same worker as another player!

Hans here, another great work from Chris! Minor correction. I am from Guangzhou, which is pretty close from Hongkong, but not quite HongKong. Both region speak cantonese, so it is common mistake to confused the two regions.

A lot of these tips are the opposite of what I've been doing. No wonder I always lose! Thanks for the help!

Very good video explication.

Thank you for including me in the video 🙂I got more custom board game shirts for this year 😁

Love the new rankings, gotta come up with some better nicknames so fans can remember them lol

Sorry, can you explain the formula again and use a couple of pieces as examples? I can’t seem to calculate it right.

Doesn't seem the highest standard of game for a final

Nice tips, i also won a game with sponsoirs upgrade also, cause i had some sponsor map intercation. always depends on what cards are comming, and don!t be afraid to change strategy early on.

That is great but also a bit sad for me as I can't reschedule my flights from europe anymore to arrive earlier :/

Your thumbnail gave me a freaking heart attack. I thought I had bought plane tickets for the wrong dates. Sheesh…

I love the concept of these videoes, but I don't know the games as intimately as the players do. In this video, I really needed a board and cards in front of me to understand some of the things he was talking about. Just face cam makes it hard - and dry. Thanks a lot for the effort you put in the videoes, though!

I am very Bad at this game :'(. I ve tried to only get 2 or 3 level cards and failed. I ve always feel Lost in middle Game, because opponents have all gems I need :'(. Ive tried to only get 1 to Build a engine and they win by having more points quickly. Help!

Video starts at 3:31

I was thinking someone should do a quick overview of the games to look for strategy. Great job on this Chris!

Great video! Do you have any advice about passing through buttons? or passing by the oponnent and at the same time by the buttons? Sorry my english, i am from Argentina

Been playing this on BGA and have not been able to figure out how to play it well, this was super helpful!!

Can someone please advise me on yellow tiles? Should I go for special abilities or bonus tiles, for example?

There's a competitive scene for boardgames? Not sure if that's silly or sad. It reminds me of the first time I heard the phrase "competitive commander" in Magic the gathering. Board games were designed to played casually amongst friends. I mean, if you enjoy competing have fun with it I wish you my best but it completely misses the point. The first time I saw the "wood into cards" strategy in Stone Age I knew the game had been broken and never played online again. Now I pretend I never saw that strategy and try to play in as much fun a way as I can but it still leaves a bitter taste. I would advise people who enjoy board games with friends to stay away from this sort of mentality.
