      It's the card furthest from the deck that gets played. I had my deck on the opposite side of what the rulebook shows, so it was the rightmost but still played the same way. Thanks for watching.

    You failed the King of flowers. The first card was a 6 of flower and you discarded a leaf when you should have discarded the 5 flower since you have to match the suite if you have any.

    I wish I knew about the kickstarter in time because the stretch goals are so worth it. I was lucky enough to get a retail copy but it’s only the base game, no stretch goals and especially no passport expansion which to me seemed it would vary the game so much more. Super bummed but I appreciate the video so I can love the kickstarter version vicariously though ya haha

      @merrymarriedmeeples 23 дні тому

      I have not done much with trashing, but here is what I have seen. If the card that trashes states a specific card, it trashes that automatically. If it is a card from your hand, after you play the card that trashes a card, you will just drag the card you choose up. If the card has you draw cards, you will drag them under the wooden bars that state where they go (trash, discard, etc). Hope this helps.

      @@merrymarriedmeeples Great! It's one of the few games I rated a 10/10. The only huge negative is that 50% of the value is "hidden" in the optimal ending that is very unlikely to happen. I did the optimal ending in my first run. And I thought everyone was doing the same. However about 75% of the people that have played the game are not aware of the good ending. So the best part of the game is locked. If you play it again, even if you don't do the optimality ending, just read it. It will completely change the idea of the game for you. Guaranteed.

      You are basically trying to get items to beat the different omens. After all the major omens have been beaten you will need to beat the curses. If there is a traitor then it's the one with the most cards under it. If there is no traitor you as a group need the items to beat 4 of the curses. As a group you want to try and figure out what items need to be out and used for the curses. If you are the traitor you are trying to line it up for the final curse to be one you guys can't accomplish so you win alone.
