What are your thoughts on this one?
Looks like a really nice filler / quick game. Wondering a bit about staying power / replayability and card variety. Might be worth buying and trying out though, since it's quite cheap and comes in a smallish box.
I will be pre-ordering this one today. Thanks for your thoughts and opinions on theme, components, scalability, replayability, mechanics, and fun!
My thoght is that after watching your playthrough and reading the rules i've pre-ordered this game ;)
Other than that it reminds me a lot of Glory to Rome mixed with Rftg and maybe Eminent Domain (didnt play but it looks little similar and have deckbuilding).
Great video as always!!
You sold me. I have SPQF and enjoyed it but the rules and iconography were an issue for me. Watching y'all play this, I can see how clean everything looks and how it's thematically supported. Thanks!
Preordered! This seems like a fun filler game I can play with my wife 😀
This is the best playthrough video for Fort I could imagine. You have set the bar incredibly high. The way you narrated your turns made it SO easy to follow. Subscribed!
My response too. I subbed after watching this one.
Thank you so much! We really had a great time learning the game and and love the art style!
I came here to say exactly the same thing, but it probably means more coming from the illustrator of the game than some random person on the internet lol
AGREED!
Definitely!
That was a really well-synchronized rock, paper, scissors. You two belong together.
Yes - so here for this
Thanks Jesse!
Like a lot of people, I just discovered you guys . Its nice to see a couple that kinda look like mine, really like your tone, comments, jokes, enthousiam yet no over-hype. As a constructive comment I would say, maybe some zoom shots on certain cards/details would be nice, but yeah thats really not a big deal.
Love the clarity of your explanations and playthroughs as well as the reasoning behind your moves; this takes the standard learn to play to next level. Thanks for the video!
Just wanted to thank you for these playthroughs. They are well produced, interesting and useful in determining whether a game is worth getting. Cheers!
Earned the sub with this one. This is the best playthrough of the game I’ve found on UA-cam. Mainly because you describe in detail what you’re doing every turn. It helps me get a feel for the game so much better.
Thanks for the playthrough. It made the flow of the game really clear and the fun of playing it came through. Sounds like a great twist on deck building and hand management. Now I can't wait to invite my friends over and build a fort. :)
Just discovered this channel. Love it! Y’all do a great job! This is one of the best how to/play though/review videos I’ve seen. Clear, succinct, and fun! Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for your support, we really appreciate it!
Thanks for demonstrating game play. I can't wait to play, and watching really made the difference.
Thanks for checking out the video! Hope you enjoy your playing experience as well :-)
Monique & Naveen - GREAT job! I was pretty sure I would preorder based on the Leder Games brand, but your playthrough and explanation totally sold me for sure on it! I’m a subscriber going forward, love your style of video!
Really nice explanation and playthrough. The camera angle for the gameplay is great, and the way you both talked through your actions was very helpful. Game looks like a lot of fun!
Thank you so much! Glad you found it helpful!
Great playthrough guys! Convinced me to buy the game. You two have an awesome pacing that makes the game enjoyable to learn, and I hope more publishers reach out to you!
Thanks for the play through for this game! Looking at pre-ordering this game. You are becoming one of our most watched channels for board games because we mainly play with 2 players. Definitely opening our eyes to the heavier games like Lisboa. We are not quite there yet but close! Thanks!
Awww thank you so much for your support! Let me know if you ever decide to try Lisboa, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts!
Best play through ever just found your channel and we are loving it. Keep it up excellent job guys!
Glad you enjoyed it!
My wife and I are enjoying your channel, very clear explanations and a playful approach to the games. Awesome. Saw you on Rahdo's channel and enjoyed the discussion. Thanks for doing this one, nice to get a feel for the mechanics before I get it to the table.
Hey, thanks! We appreciate comments like yours, glad we could help! :-)
Awesome job you two! Love the explanations. You are my go to for playthroughs 👍
Thanks!! i gave you a shout toward the end of our review. You're awesome
Before You Play I don’t deserve such kindness! But I can’t wait to link this in my video on July 21st! You guys rock. Let’s talk strategy again soon!
Excellent refresher before the expansion comes out, great video!!!
I bought this game after watching your video. I love it so much!
I really don't ever comment on videos but I just want to say I really enjoy you both very much. Keep doing what you are doing. Your never gimmicky or over the top, you explain the rules and the game concisely while playing and most of all just have fun while playing a good game and it all translates on your videos.
Lol thanks Erik! That's the plan (the no cheese zone haha). Thank you for your kind words ;)
Thanks for this great play through which has convinced me to get this game for myself :)
Another amazing video from u guys, to both learn and enjoy the game. Im going to pre-order this one!
Let us know what you think!
this is the best! We have so much fun playing it!
I thoroughly enjoyed your playthrough and review! I love how you guys explain the rules and your in-game decisions, while you are playing without bogging down at all. It is easy to see that you spend a lot of time, energy, and passion learning and playing a game before shooting your videos. You are quickly becoming one of my favorite channels.
Monique was always one or two steps ahead, and it was fun to see it play out. The build and execution was great to follow along. Great combining.
Thanks for the playthrough and explonation! Actually this is the best playthrough video I ever seen. Really nice job! I like this game, and your video helped me decide to buy this one. Actually in a relly good price ( around 18.5 dollars).
Found this video randomly and im suddenly want to buy this board gamee !!!, keep going and keep inspiring champs❤️ subbed!
Great video, guys! I had fun watching. Looking forward to playing this one :-)
Fantastic play through. Really helped me clean up some rules questions. I’ll be back for more!
I think the initial draft of your starting deck will be absolutely necessary for this one. Can't wait to try it out !
Appreciated the playthrough. The theme, art, and play of this are all pretty neat. This didn't take too long to decide to pre-order, even though I'm not really one to pre-order much.
Hope it provides you the same fun/experience it has for us!
Thanks, M&N for this playthrough and review. Looks like another winner from Leder to me.
Thanks Jason we definitely think so too!
Thanks for another great playthrough video. I just played Fort with my son, and we had a blast!
Hi Nathan! That's great to hear! How did you both like it?
Mmmm, that's good playthrough. Truly excellent work. Keep it up!
Thanks so much!
Really good playthrough and super useful as I'll mostly be playing 2-player too, so good to see that it plays well at the smallest count.
Wow, this game looks so fun. Hoping to play play this one sometime soon. Thanks for the rules teach and enjoyable playthrough. Reminds me of playing with my good friends.😊
Awww thanks Mark. We miss you a bunch
Fun game really. Clean teach as per usual. You guys are the best. I just bought the game along the Cats & Dogs expansion. Love Kyle Ferrin's art. He did really well with Root and Oath.
I love watching your playthroughs, this game has been sitting on my shelf for a bit too long. Time to break it out.
YEAH!! It's one of our favs!
Well played through and reviewed, Thanks!
Great playthrough Monique and Naveen, looks like my kind of game.
Thanks!! Glad you enjoyed it!
Man do I want to try this game. Thanks for the video! Subscribed
Thanks Daniel!!
Really great playthrough and taught the game so simply :)
Thanks for watching, we're glad we could help!
Great playthrough guys! Just one thing, not sure if it was already mentioned. At 36:00 you (Monique) chose to put Toys in your backpack. When Naveen followed, he chose to add Pizza. But the Rules for following is that the Follower must choose the same resource as the Leader. That’s under “Specific Situations” in the rule book under Following the Leader.
Boy!! I can't wait to see the promos or any expansions
Same... SAME!!!
Picking this up for the kids and their cousins to play at Christmas!
This theme is so cute! I didn't really vibe with the art, despite loving the art in Root until I saw this video and got the theme. Its a really nice iteration of deck building, and the constant stealing of cards gives it something really interactive.
really appreciate the content!
Awesome playthrough! This really seems like my kind of game. I'm pre-ordering this one!
Hi Stephen, let us know what you think about the game!
It was great to see aplaythrough of this. Now I really understand how it works and it looks like a Leder game that I can just sit down with my family and play unlike Root.
Glad we were able to help! It's one of the reasons why we like it so much also. So easy to get to the table.
@@BeforeYouPlay For sure! One question, is the texture of the box more matte like Root or shiny like Vast. I know that's a weird one, but I love the Root boxes.
Came here from your 2021 top 40-31 list. I like the look of this game, I just wish it played more than 4!
I enjoyed Grant's SPQF, but found the iconography to be confusing at times. I wasn't sure that the theme of this reskin/revision would work, but it seems to do so very well. Fantastic play through, and I very much appreciate you both "talking through your turns"- that provided me a lot of useful insight into some of the player interactions. Thanks! 🖖
Thanks Thomas, glad my voice didn't annoy you haha - Naveen 😂
Very nice format: quick introduction followed by turns narrated. Congratulations! If there was a camera zoom to cards, it would be perfect.
i bought it last sunday and i liked it!. hopefully you guys do a playthrough of the expansion!
You had me at Macaroni Sculpture! Great playthrough!
Right?!?!?! hahahaha
Totally sold on it! Great play through. Love the stealing mechanism.
I usually don't like deck building as a mechanism, this style completely fixes my issues with the mechanism. -Naveen
Monique won with a perfect Fort-y
lol she's too good at games... - Naveen
I noticed how often the best friends are discarded.... they really must be best friends to be disregarded that often... lol.
Thanks for the recommendation from the other video (the one about games that brought you into the hobby). This game looks great. I might pick it up when it comes out in canada.
appreciate the content
Thanks John!!
This game is incredibly thematic and the mechanics follow the theme SO well. The game is so cheap too, $34 in Canada and holy crap $24 in the USA. Great deal!
great video, and a nice overview of the game. just bought this for my girlfriend!
Awesome video! Just picked up this game yesterday and your video made me feel very good about my decision.
Btw - if you’d like to try out one of those “complex” multi-use card games, I highly recommend Mottainai!
Thanks for checking out the video, I hope you will also love your copy! We have Mottainai and love it, have you ever tried Glory to Rome?
Before You Play I haven’t played Glory to Rome and prob won’t considering the price of the game these days, but not to worry, I’m perfectly with Mottainai - it’s my number 3 game of all time!
At 52:50 you can put a COPY from your staff to backpack, not random resourses
I think I'm at a point where I'll buy anything Leder Games/Wehrlegig. Love Root and its art, adore Oath and its art (played on TTS), really digging what I'm seeing from Fort and its art. Oh and Pax Pamir 2nd ed is... a masterpiece? It's definitely amazing gameplay and component wise.
I really just love you guys!
Naveen, with all respect, do you ever win? 🤣
I don't know if I just only pick the games that Naveen loses or if Monique just kills it most of the time. 🤣
I really missed any info about this game, though I’m really interested in Leder Games as I currently have played and own all their games. This is a big surprise to me and I think the theme is brilliant (and as you pointed out, they cleverly integrated the mechanics).
I definitely have to keep an eye on this one.
Thank you for the video 😊
At 35:57 I think you forgot to count your wild icon in the lookout. I believe you should have taken 5 things there instead of 4. Great video BTW! I owned and sold SPQF because after one play it felt too confusing to parse. This version seems to be smoothed out in a big way from the icons and even the complexity of the actions. Thinking I may want to give this version try.
Thank you!! Yeah at the time my "pack" only had a capacity of 4 items because my fort size was still at 3. (Pack = fort + 1). I wish i could have had an extra one though! I'm thinking this will be a nice streamlined version of SPQF from what I hear. I'd be curious to know how you like it!
@@BeforeYouPlay do you have to have two of the same suit before you use a wild in the look out, i seen at one point u used a card from your hand instead of using your wild in the look out i was a bit confused
Thanks for the playthrough, I thoroughly enjoyed it - and spotted that I've been playing my lookout cards wrong before :)
I think I might have spotted one rule difference (maybe this changed during the Kickstarter campaign). It seems like you don't have to boost the top and bottom action separately, the played cards and the lookout work for both of the actions. It's not clear from the rulebook, but at least that's the consensus in boardgamegeek.com/thread/2543910/are-lookout-cards-spent-during-turn.
Thanks again, you have a new subscriber :)
Question, at 20:40, when you invoke Skids' public action (boosting it w/ Zip) to put two resources into your pack from your stuff, do they have to be the same resource or can you do 1 pizza/1 toy? Just wondering. Great content!
This looks really fun. I don't know If anyone I know would play it with me so I kind of wish they would have an automoma. Otherwise very interesting. May pick it up anyway and force someone to play it eventually. But more importantly, where's Dexter? How is he doing?
Skids seems OP
Just got this one yesterday, and trying it tonight! Question- if you previously finished an action to completion from your card, can't the second action be partially fulfilled? Requirement being at least one action has to be done in entirety? So you could complete your private action fully and then if your public action is take two resources for your stuff but you only have room for one, you could still that action? Thank you for this playthrough! Bought it because of your Top Ten's of 2020 :)
Just a little confused on the follow action. At 38:53 you played "Tiny" which allowed you to collect any resource which was a pizza, and Naveen followed by discarding and taking a pizza; do they have to take a pizza if the symbol says any? But at 36:07 after you played toys to your pack, he followed by playing a pizza to his.
Listening to your review, and how one critique was not using up many friend cards from the big deck of cards. I notice there are multiple copies of all/some friends. I wonder what would happen if you tried only using one copy of each friend in a 2 player game?
You might be interested in trying Cuisine A La Card, an unique theme plus an extremely unique deck builder, Navin might like it. You will need to contact the designer and buy directly from her.
Never heard of that one. Time to start going down the BGG research hole haha
@@BeforeYouPlay lol, you should watch thr "Watch it Played" vid to get a feel for it
Just watched this now. I have a question. On the first turn at 11:45, when Monique followed, did she have to discard a book card when the public action didnt need a book to trigger?
At 3:25the backpack and hand icon states to copy your pack to your stuff. You stated move stuff to your pack. Or am I applying this wrong
I feel bad for the kids that aren't anyone's best friend..
Thank you for feeling bad for me... oh wait, I'm not a kid anymore...
hahahaha
At 32:10 why you didnt choose to get 4 toys with the Ghost action choosing the Skateboard suit instead of Shovel (You did the same thing just earlier with pizzas!) Could you not or something? Trying to get my head around the rules!
I love Kyke Ferrin art works! But unfortunately for me the cost in USD and the shipping to Europe makes it too expensive for such a little game :( but as I see they will publish free version on tabletop simulator, so it needs to be enough for me, at least till any Polish publisher will decide to produce and sell it in Poland ;)
Aww that's too bad! I bet if Essen Spiel was going on you could have picked it up in the Euro market. Hopefully you can get it sometime in the future :)
Hi guys! Love your vids! Question regarding the Prince follower action: Monique took the follower action at around the 25:18 mark and discarded the crown suit as normal, however she didnt tuck the exact suit Naveen tucked under his board. Is this the correct way of playing the follower action with this card? I was under the impression that the follower had to do the action exactly as the leader intended. Thanks for your time!
Hi Jahnie! Thank you! The follower has to take the resources that the leader decides to take when doing that action. This time around she was just following the action of placing a card in your lookout
@@BeforeYouPlay thank you so much!
The theme and artwork is great but I can't help but think how great it would have been to have the Garbage Pail Kids be in this game.
Thank you for this playthrough. I'm still on the fence with this game though.
Not sure I'm a fan of the repeated cards. Could easily have been just another kid, with the same card power. For some reason, when the Doodles second card showed, I was strangely disappointed.
Also, and even though it is the name of the game, it feels that the 11 point swing from finishing the fort is too punishing for someone that stayed at Fort level 4.
I'll need to try it before I decide to buy.
At 35:57 shouldn’t you be getting one extra toy for the wildcard in your lookout?
Loved the playthrough though. Very informative and a great way to learn the game!
Because my fort level was only at a 3, my pack could only carry maximum 4 items. That's why I didn't use the wild card in my lookout for that extra toy
Before You Play aha, so you can choose not to use the ones in the lookout? I thought you had to be able to complete the entire action in order to perform it.
At 20:40 you use Skids to move a pizza and a toy. Why can you mix resources in that case, but you have to stick with the same resource type when using a card like Ghost?
The rule book really does not do a good job of clarifying some of the rules.
Does Monique's perk allow her to "move" stuff to her pack that she doesn't yet have? I'd imagine that if you only have 1 pizza in your stuff, you'd only be able to move 1 to yout pack, and that 1 would instead come from the supply...
Great playthrough though! Loved seeing it in action
I think the designer answered my question on the video thread on BGG... yes, she is playing "Sticky Fingers" correctly in the video, in case anyone is curious.
May I steal 3 cards from a rival with ability of babyface card?!?!
Personal question maybe, so feel free to ignore but are you guys a couple? You have such a lovely rapport with each other...! 😍
Hi Mark, yes we are married 💍 😁
@@BeforeYouPlay Ha! Well you have a beautiful rapport and make a very attractive couple :) x
Also you explain games SO well! It's a real skill that very few have! Thanks for your videos. So... if you don't teach: please become a teacher. The profession needs people like you with that clarity of explanation! :D
Naveen: "Good luck to me!" ua-cam.com/video/5QSvVsLbaUY/v-deo.html
hahahaha I'm a fool - Naveen
I think this is on Kickstarter, isn’t it? The illustration work is nice,,,,, but it’s not original.... thinking root. I really like the naming and story element, that’s great.
No, straight to retail. You can pre-order from Leder on Monday
hmm I wish I could actually build something with it. just some tiles or something. i dunno...
