And as far as the copies in the past and future: if you travel to the future from the present you are no longer in the present since you have traveled forward, BUT if you travel to the past, you will still eventually make it back to the present (assuming you live long enough)
The elephant thing makes sense. Whatever happened between the present and the future to change the elephant to black still happens, regardless of how long ago the elephant was turned white. But if the elephant wasnt turned in that timeframe, it will still carry over the white training it got
After 9 hours of meetings today, I had an hour to kill before 2 hours of online teaching. This was a welcome break. (I've seen this played twice, but haven't had a chance to try it for myself.) Thanks!
@@BoardGameCo I thought the same, although I haven't picked it up yet. A good friend of mine has it, so I can always play with his :) On another note, where are you on the whole Age of Steam/Steam/Railroad Tycoon question? This same friend offered me his copy of Railroad Tycoon; I already have it, so say the word and it's yours. (It is a Wallace game.)
Alex, I really appreciate the videos! One critique though…..it really bothers me that you use a 1-5 rating rather than 1-10. BGG uses 1-10, Tom Vasel uses 1-10 (with .5 point steps, which I think is best) are you using 1-5 just to be different? I myself don’t see anything wrong with rating games like most people do, I don’t feel like it’s copying. Thoughts on changing to a 1-10?
@@jonathannevers To be fair it always kind-of throws me off too so I just multiply it. “Oh 3.5 so it’s a bad game . . . wait a second.” -me right after watching this very video

It's a very solid game.

Have you played Cairn? It personally replaced Onitama for me, as I find it to be a little more dynamic while still keeping a simple and open moveset.
Ok fine! Another game I must own …
Soo intresting! I'll add this to my wishlist 😅

I got you bro 3.5 x2 = 7. 👍
@@lukeerikdavis lol I knew someone would say that

@@lukeerikdavis I just like consistency
He had it to 10 at one point, but he said it wasn't working for him.
Starting with the rating makes it really tempting to skip the rest of the video.
Ha! What a crazy game!
