Just got this game from Amazon. I know I'm a bit late to buy/learn about this game. But I gotta say, this YT channel is amongst the best channels for learning about boardgames. Rodney explains really well and very clearly. I use this channel constantly when ordering or wanting to know about new games to add to my collection. I can't thank Rodney enough for this truly great work, and everyone at Watch It Played too.🤘( and I know I'm not alone in this situation.. )
That's a really kind comment to take the time to leave - thank you for that. It means a lot to know the videos have been helpful. And hey, it's never to late to learn/buy a game that's new-to-you. Have fun playing!
I often find new and interesting games in the charity shops here in the uk and I love to check on UA-cam for your simple and easy to understand how to play videos. Super grateful to you! Thanks Rodney 🙌🏼😻
No wonder this game is selling so quickly, I just ordered a copy and can't wait to play with the family. Looks like it should be perfect for a 10yr old too, thanks for the simple guide!
Thanks for another super summary Rodney! I was gifted Sagrada yesterday (by someone who knows I love a game) and am looking forward to its first play later today and comparing it to Azul which is already a firm favourite in this house!
Thank you very much for explaining the game. I have subscribed to your channel now because of thoroughness. I also plan to purchase this game. Thank you again.
@WatchItPlayed can you use favor tokens to use same tool again on another round? So you play it one round with token & another round you put tokens again to use again?
Can you draft a die you aren't able to legally place and then use a tool to change it so that you can place it? Or do you have to not only legally be able to place the drafted die as is but once you use the tool ability that die still has to be able to be placed in that same position? We've had a lot of disagreements over this.
You need to be able to legally place a die in order to draft it. So even if you have a tool that could make it legal, you wouldn't be able to draft in the situation you suggested. Of note though, the designer of the game has discussed earlier versions of the rules on BoardGameGeek, including the ability to draft a die that you can't legally place.
The exact wording of the rules and responses from the designer online are a bit ambiguous. I'll reach out to the publisher to see if I can find an official answer.
Thank you so much for following up on this! Fwiw, I couldn't find anything that disagreed with your explanation here and so far all the people I've played with seemed to intuitively understand it that way as well until I argued with them otherwise. By the 3rd time I figured I better double check I wasn't leading everyone astray.
Spoke with the publisher regarding your question. You can actually choose an illegal dice to draft as long as you are using a tool to modify it and make it playable in the same turn.
If you start in a corner and go diagonal from that piece, would that mean on your next turn you could go diagonal again from that previous set die and just go around the board in diagonal movements before going side to side or top to bottom. Love these videos of yours by the way, make it very helpful on understanding the rules.
Hey there, you'll find that covered here: ua-cam.com/video/0JLpaGHL8MQ/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared&t=351 The order of the stack doesn't matter - this is just a way of keeping track of the rounds you've completed.
I avoid individual card effects, as that's a level of detail beyond what I can manage across all the videos I do. If you google the name of the tool, you'll likely find the answers on your questions as this game is quite popular. Hope that helps!
The player is allowed to have multiple green dice or dice with the same value in the same row or column, they just can't be vertically or horizontally adjacent (diagonal adjacency is okay) to one another. So in this case, removing the middle green five would give the player a valid board again.
@@Chrismanjaro I know this is old, but -- doesn't removing the dice in a way that creates a discontinuous pattern (that is, two separate globs of dice) violate the rule that dice must be placed in a chain of adjacency from the starting die?
@@Nikolus yeah that's an interesting point. In that case they'd have to remove three dice, which would seem like a harsh punishment, but maybe that is what would need to happen? I'm not sure if the rules address a situation like this, but the board would still be valid after removing the green die, and there are cards that let you split your dice up, so maybe that's all that's needed. To answer your question though I'm not really sure
Hello again, I have a couple questions. 1. In solo play if I accidentally misplace a die, do I remove it and place it on the score track as points against me, or remove and place back into the bag? 2. When dealing with a misplaced die, does one remove it as soon as it is spotted and that gives them a chance to refill the spot? (I know I can't misplace die just to get ahead.)
Wow, Ayla, so sorry I missed your question! I know this is late and you probably found your answers, but: 1) I avoid covering the solo rules, so can't assist there (off to a bad start for helping, aren't I?) 2) Yes, you'd remove it as soon as you spot it, which would open up the space for you to put the die you took that round.
@@WatchItPlayed Wow I can't believe this was from 2 years ago haha. Thank you for your help and I will remember that you don't cover solo rules as I asked Solo Rules on another video. Thank you for your help!
My first thought was that I might have been correct, but I double checked with the publisher and was told that as long as you remove a die to fix the problem spotted (in this case the wrong dice being adjacent), then other dice can be left.
Sorry for bringing this back up, I'm just trying to better understand. Wouldn't this encourage players to fake errors hoping the other players don't notice? It allows to possibly overtake the rule of the edge adjacency
A couple of questions to settle some confusion. 1st, if all but 2 spaces on my window are full, but I can't play from the draft in the empty spaces, can I remove a played die and replace it in one from the draft? 2nd, for the flux remover tool card, if I can't, or do not wish to play the dice from the bag, when I return it to the draft pool, can I draft another dice immediately?
1) Hi Joseph, no, that's not an option - in that case, you'd just not be able to take a die that turn. 2) Nope, you have to use the Flux Remover effect exactly as it's written (which goes for all Tools).
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!
Hey Rodney, thanks for the great tutorial. One question, in a two-player game, do the turns go as follows? First round: Turn 1, player A; turn 2, player B. Second round: turn 1, player B; turn 2, player A. Third round: turn one player A; turn 2 player B. Fourth round: Turn one, player B; turn two, player A (and so on)? What is the tactical reason for this?
I'm not quite sure I understood your example, so I'm going to re-write it slightly. Here's how it would work: Round 1: 5 dice are displayed. Player A goes, then Player B, then Player B again, then Player A. Round 1 Ends. Round 2: 5 new dice are displayed. Player B goes, then player A, then player A again, then player B. Hope that helps.
@@WatchItPlayed Watch It Played Good day, Rodney I believe it should be as following: Round 1: Player A gose, then Player B, then Player B again, then Player A. Round 1 End Round 2: Player B gose, then Player A, then Player A again, then Player B. Round 2 End Because we will go clockwise until the last player and once he finished his turn and then he play again and then we will go counterclockwise until we reach the first player. am I right Rodney?
Hey, thx for the explanation. I've still got a question though. The toolcard 4 shows two dices moving to two free spaces on the window. Do they a) have to move to two existing free spaces simultaneously, b) move one after the other or c) can you even make them change places? Thanks for your answer.
@@WatchItPlayed I wasn't referring to the video, but just wanted to know how that card 4 should be played. I thought somebody here might know since this video was mentioned in the official game explanation by a QR-code. So just want to know how the toolcard 4 has to be played... Nothing personal, nor comment on the video. Thanks in advance.
@@svanovertvelt1 Ah, understood! Might need to check with the publisher on that for an official answer, but based on my personal understanding, those would have to go to 2 free spaces simultaneously (they couldn't just swap with each other).
Hey Rodney! Yesterday I had a game where one of us got stuck at round 7 and beyond. He unwillingly made a puzzle where he could no longer place any dice. Is he out of the game? What happens in the draft pool? More dice to the other players? Thank you.
Effectively, that play is out of the game (unless they can use a tool to change their situation). Other players don't collect extra dice though. Each person takes the same number as they would normally be owed.
Do we get our favor tokens back at the end of each round? Seems like we only gain minimal points from the favor tokens unless I'm missing something. Other than that, looks like a ton of fun and a game my girlfriend would like, she likes colorful games!
Thanks for checking out the video! Steve and SirPoonga have it exactly right. You get points at end of game for any tokens you use, but once you use them, they are gone.
Hi Julie, I'd like to assist, but I'm not quite clear on the question. You might be mixing up some turns. Do you think you could provide a time stamp to the section of the video you are asking about. If I can help, I'll try!
At the 7 minute mark when you're discussing the objective cards and scoring, I am confused why line 1 and line 4 are the only ones to score. They all seem eligible for the row color variety as they all don't seem to have repeating colors in the rows.
Hey, I found that some of the tool cards were not self explanatory. Any idea what this means? "After your first turn, immediately draft a die. Skip your next turn this round"
@@WatchItPlayed thank you & I will definitely be giving the solo version a go!! I really enjoyed watching your video explaining how to play this game...it does look like a lot of fun & hopefully I will eventually be able to get my family to try playing it also!!! :)
If, for example it said you would gain 2 points for every set of 1 & 2 you see in your window, you'd get 2 points for every pair of 1 & 2 in your window.
@@WatchItPlayed haha you are correct, I should say, isn’t Beez exactly like Sagrada?! I do own Beez but haven’t played Sagrada and watching this video they seem awfully alike! Except for the theme of course. Either way both are beautiful. Thank you for the video!
If they cheated and he took the middle green. Die off he still broke laying rules as he couldn't have laid the green 5 to the right as there is a space or is that not how it works
Sorry, couldn't quite understand the question you were asking here. Could you perhaps rephrase it and just double check for typos - I think a few jumbled up this comment. And if you have a time stamp to the section you are asking about, that would help too.
@@WatchItPlayed sorry i was responding on my phone. @ 3:30 you said the first die must be placed around the boarder of your frame... then at @ 5 mins you said if a mistake was made you had to resolve it... so you had 3 green dice lined up from left to right. the left most die touching the boarder. you corrected the board by removing the middle green die which then breaks the rule of continuous play of a die. so does the player need to removed all the dice not attached to an outside edge? if so they would need to removed the green and purple dice along with the initial die they removed to be in compliance. correct or no?
@@JordanLee-xy9fp When correcting a previous die placement mistake, you don't have to worry about rules of continuous play as it relates to correcting the mistake. You just have to ensure matching colors or values are no longer adjacent. That said, you still have to follow the normal placement rules for all future dice you place.
Rodney is, by far, the best explainer of games to have ever existed.
That's very generous - I'm glad you've enjoyed :)

Once you spend your favor token on a tool card, can you continue to use that same tool card in subsequent rounds or can you only use it once?
Each time you spend favor tokens, it allows you to use the chosen tool once.
@WatchItPlayed can you use favor tokens to use same tool again on another round? So you play it one round with token & another round you put tokens again to use again?
Thank you for making these tutorial video. Big fan of your works .

In solo play, can I park a die on the tool card just to keep it off the round track?
Sorry, I didn't cover the solo rules, so I can't speak to that.
Can you intentionally violate a play restriction in order to discard a dice from your board?
Nope, this rule is just here in case of an accidental placement. You are not allowed to intentionally break the rules.
So in the video with the 3 green 5s, the player would need to remove 2 5s then correct?
The player is allowed to have multiple green dice or dice with the same value in the same row or column, they just can't be vertically or horizontally adjacent (diagonal adjacency is okay) to one another. So in this case, removing the middle green five would give the player a valid board again.

Because we will go clockwise until the last player and once he finished his turn and then he play again and then we will go counterclockwise until we reach the first player.

Hi Julie, I'd like to assist, but I'm not quite clear on the question. You might be mixing up some turns. Do you think you could provide a time stamp to the section of the video you are asking about. If I can help, I'll try!
At the 7 minute mark when you're discussing the objective cards and scoring, I am confused why line 1 and line 4 are the only ones to score. They all seem eligible for the row color variety as they all don't seem to have repeating colors in the rows.
Row 2 has two red dice. Row 3 has two green.
@@WatchItPlayed I was looking at the column... oops. Thank you!
Hey, I found that some of the tool cards were not self explanatory. Any idea what this means? "After your first turn,
immediately draft a die. Skip your next turn this round"
Hey Jim, here is a BGG thread that discusses that card, which you may find helpful: boardgamegeek.com/thread/2089185/question-about-running-pliers
Has anyone here played this solo? I just got this game & so far nobody else in my family wants to play it, so I guess I will be going solo for now!
Enjoy giving the solo version a swing Nancy!
@@WatchItPlayed thank you & I will definitely be giving the solo version a go!! I really enjoyed watching your video explaining how to play this game...it does look like a lot of fun & hopefully I will eventually be able to get my family to try playing it also!!! :)
Yes I have I posted a question on the solo version above
How long does it typically take to play one game?
20-25 Minutes.
The box says 20-40 minutes. But as you become familiar with the game, you will likely see 20-25 minute games as Eric suggests.
The game instructions are clear but the objectives are a bit confusing to me. What constitutes a "set"? A pair of dice? Can't seem to understand this.
If, for example it said you would gain 2 points for every set of 1 & 2 you see in your window, you'd get 2 points for every pair of 1 & 2 in your window.

+Aung Kaung Zaw Thanks for the interest! I avoid pre-announcing games I might cover, in case my schedule changes. I don't like to disappoint.
In my language Sagraditi basically means "To Build"... I wonder if it has any relations to that or it's just plainly similar.
Ah I see, well that one makes way more sense :D
Great!!
Thank you!
Hi! Do all players have to choose the same difficulty level and therefore receive the same amount of gems/favors or anyone is free to choose?
Each player chooses the difficulty they want.
cheers mate! Always very kind
This video is three years old as I write this, but I appreciate whoever on the WiP team went back through the catalogue to add the labelled sectioning
Glad you enjoyed Jason!

Isn’t this .. exactly like Beez?
I haven’t played Beez, but Sagrada came out a few years before Beez.
@@WatchItPlayed haha you are correct, I should say, isn’t Beez exactly like Sagrada?! I do own Beez but haven’t played Sagrada and watching this video they seem awfully alike! Except for the theme of course. Either way both are beautiful. Thank you for the video!
If they cheated and he took the middle green. Die off he still broke laying rules as he couldn't have laid the green 5 to the right as there is a space or is that not how it works
Sorry, couldn't quite understand the question you were asking here. Could you perhaps rephrase it and just double check for typos - I think a few jumbled up this comment. And if you have a time stamp to the section you are asking about, that would help too.
@@WatchItPlayed sorry i was responding on my phone. @ 3:30 you said the first die must be placed around the boarder of your frame... then at @ 5 mins you said if a mistake was made you had to resolve it... so you had 3 green dice lined up from left to right. the left most die touching the boarder. you corrected the board by removing the middle green die which then breaks the rule of continuous play of a die. so does the player need to removed all the dice not attached to an outside edge? if so they would need to removed the green and purple dice along with the initial die they removed to be in compliance. correct or no?
@@JordanLee-xy9fp When correcting a previous die placement mistake, you don't have to worry about rules of continuous play as it relates to correcting the mistake. You just have to ensure matching colors or values are no longer adjacent. That said, you still have to follow the normal placement rules for all future dice you place.
Why so many producers?
During these years we had annual fundraiser so I could create these videos full time. These are people who backed and made it possible.
