    Wow this video was so helpful. I am completely new to the board games beyond life, monopoly, etc. I watched another video on worker placement, but watching yours was better. It was like watching a friend talk right to me, and it was helpful how in depth you went into the basic concepts. Thank you so much for this. Favorited, and will be referencing again

    The only mechanical problem I see with the game is the 1st player advantage. People have tried to house-rule solutions like a handicap, but this problem might just be innevitable with this kind of game structure.

    Thanks for the helpful video! Curious why at 12:56 you didn't take the 1850 card? You would have received the 11 points you were going for, and also another 4 points with the green token. Plus it would have continued your trek.

    Good house rule for Small World. after revealing the starting races/attributes, the last player changes what order they're in (they keep the pairings, though). This way the first player doesn't luck into having a perfect combo for free.

    There's a few times in the video when you show multiple rows on the left containing tiles of the same color. How could this ever be possible? Like at 11:20 in the video, how could those 2 rows on the left both contain dark blue tiles?

      This is often possible. The “pattern rows” on the left can have the same colour tiles on different lines, as long as all the colours on the line are the same, and as long as the corresponding “wall tile” does not have that particular colour on it yet.

    @danielpayne1597 6 місяців тому

    Full agree -- I love Scythe and adore Star Wars: Rebellion. Just a few things I'd tweak about the games. For Scythe, it's having an actual combat system instead of the combat being determined by card value + bid. That would make it longer, but it's just not satisfying to me fighting that way. For Rebellion, it's the wincon. The Empire's win con is perfect: Rebel base goes BOOOOOOM. For the Rebels, they just have to survive X turns and they shrink the timer on the Empire. Need to add something for the Rebels to accomplish in addition to surviving long enough: You must capture/kill Palpatine or Vader, or conquer Coruscant, or blow up a Death Star. Something to keep the game from becoming passive. Now, how to shorten the games? For Scythe, shortening it might be possible if all players started with an extra worker. Within the current rules, fastest I can figure out a win is with hyper military aggression as Saxony in a 3-player game to win by turn 20 or so. For Rebellion, adding cards that allow the Empire to force the Rebels' hand to engage in battle and it provides hints on the base location would certainly bring things to a head sooner. Or add a way the Empire to deny the base relocation cards.
