4:29- Nikki said "guess there's no fences in space." Well, if you are part of the Q continuum, you can make one. But wait, there's more. There was a fence in space in the ST: TNG episde Encounter at Farpoint pt 1, which had Cmdr William Riker, who later appeared in an episode of ST: Voyager, which later had the character 7 of 9, played by Jeri Ryan, who starred in the movie The Last Man with, wait for it......David Arnott. I just Kevin Baconed a fence in space to Dave. You're welcome.
According to the rules, the asteroid paths do divide zones. I haven't watched the video to completion so I'm not sure you you all eventually realize the rules error. Happy Holidays btw.
Well poop. I just found a pdf of the rules - not that I doubted you - mostly to see how I missed that. And I think it was due to the scoring example on page 3 *not* demonstrating this rule. It shows 9 different scoring zones, but they're all, basically, uncut. So I'm guessing that when I got to that page, it knocked that short simple sentence from page 2 out of my head. But even so, 100% my bad. As to Andrew Barnes 's point: I'm not sure I see how the real rule changes the game that much, though. It likely lowers scoring a bit, but we're all still trying to do the same thing, right? And the way final scoring works, this is not really a game you can specialize in. Hmm... it might - probably not, but maybe - make an Asteroid path strategy a teeny but more viable? But again, you'd still need to focus on everything else. Also, it would probably make players less inclined to risk taking the bonus tokens..? It'd definitely be harder to see how your zone might stack up against other players. I'd certainly be happy to try it again the correct way. Again, not a defense or excuse for my missing that rule. Just wondering if the game play is really that much different, either way.
@@davidarnott6085 It happens to all of us sometimes. Rules can be overlooked. Also, you're right, it doesn't seem like scoring would be much different. Anyhoo thanks for the reply. Happy New Year!!!!!!
I had this game but couldn't get it to the table in my game group even though it's a fun game. Too light for heavy gamers, too much work for a filler. It's more of a family night game and I think kids (and the adults who play with them) would love it.
The bag with tiles doesn't seem handy at all. Much easier to just make a bunch of face down piles and shuffle those. The game seems nice and the video is great as always
You guys should probably re record this video. The asteroid paths do divide the zones and completely change how the game is played to what your showing.
@28:40 when Monique was scoring, I think she counted her blue spaces incorrectly, she added them as one whole when they were 3 different spaces? My bad, it looked as if she counted as one, but I see each 2 blue are worth points! Enjoyed this episode, will need to add this to my collection.
Curiously, I find the way Dave coaches Nicki on her moves slightly more uncomfortable, knowing that they aren't married to each other. Lincoln also gets extra points for me, knowing he's playing with his wife this entire time and never makes comments on camera about her play style. Literally every married gamer-guy I play with talks smack about the way his wife plays.
Amul Kumar I find they don’t necessarily talk smack but I find most women are not allowed to just play a game the way they want (and it’s true of this series as well). Any time it’s a woman’s turn every guy has to jump in and explain things and the options they may have. I don’t know as it’s necessarily nefarious...just interesting. The same happens in our game group as well. Maybe it’s just the guys want to “protect” the woman in some nerd way? I don’t know. I try to keep myself from doing it and as long as my gf isn’t breaking the rules I try to let her figure things out. I have to admit, it’s hard sometimes. She’s a good player and often beats me so I don’t know why I keep helping, lol! 😜
@@Tennethums1 They were two related but separate thoughts. Mansplaining games to women while you're playing is one thing. The other thought was that every married guy I know who plays board games has some pet peeve about his wife's playstyle which he feels perfectly justified in complaining about.
27:19 Nikki, you turned over each tile one by one, while everyone else just flipped their pile and spread it. By the time you were able to look at all your tiles, 10 seconds had already passed
Hi , my name is Luc and i have the game in French. Can someone scan the Kaos Cards in English please and mail them to me , so i can replace them above the french translation. You will find my note at the BGG site. 1000 x thanks. Grtz Luc

mind. blown. You need to update that IMDB page, Dave.
Another great video. Thank you all for your hard work. Now if only Dave would invite Arnold on the show!

I bought this a couple of months ago 2nd hand and thought this is going to sit and never play......... til now. I’m going to bring it to my next meet.
Looks like a fun game. I hope you all had a great Christmas :)

Love Gamenight!
It always makes me super happy when Nikki gets a win for some reason... :D
Awww spoilers!
Stephen Coates who reads the comments BEFORE watching the video?
Nikki I really like your tshirt where can I buy one? It's hilarious and cute!
Nikki believes she got that shirt at Threadless a little while back. Thanks for the note and for watching.-Lincoln
@@boardgamegeek Thank you so much for the reply and for the awesome videos! Happy New Year to you all! :)

45:42 wait, has Dave count his asteroid paths?
He didn't but I think it was only worth 1 point, so still 2nd.
And he didn't get points for constellations.

Been watching these videos for a while, they're great! I was just curious, is Nikki married to Dave or Lincoln or neither?
Lincoln.
Lori MacKenzie no kidding? I always thought it was Dave!

I thought about that too but maybe it's easier for her to process them if they were turned over one by one compared to being spread out all at once.
Monique is absolutely gorgeous!! I was trying to follow the game, but dang!! ❤❤❤ Where else is she doing videos?
Kane loves timers
