The wife and I just played this for the first time a few days ago. Lots of fun and easy to learn. She's not much of a gamer and enjoyed it. Glad to see some of my favorite game channels featuring it!
Rules clarification: Matt says around @1:00:00 that you can't put a transfer into a train car square of a finished train and not actually place the transfer (with number) on the board. This is incorrect--you CAN do this. From the rules: "In the rare case that all the stations on a route are filled in, but it has an empty Train Car Window available, you may still write a number or X in the Train Car Window and ignore the station(s)."
I was so happy when the skip 2 came up because I had two holes in a line and said right before that to myself "I desperately need a 2 skip." I was so sad when I filled in the 5 on my pink that had 6 spots left hoping for a free to finish it....and then the 6 comes up next....Man. Got 48 pts solo. Would've been 56 if I didn't gamble on pink. Good game, guys. That was fun.
huh, on the last draw I had the exact same unfilled spots as Matt. 54 points total, pretty happy, just needs a skip 2 and I could have finished grey, purple was a write-off.
Dude, Will Wheaton should be asking YOU for a job. If he wasn't a successful actor. All right! That was fun. I wonder if they have maps based on other cities. Boston'd be very hard.
This was great. Was this quite a few months back? I don't recall the stream. I hope they upload more of the Twitch stuff, I loved the Trick Shot stream.
Also, the fact that so many of us (as a group) got such good scores suggests to me that we had lucky numbers on top of whatever increased skill that comes from a group of people already interested in board games.
i thought i was doing terribly and i got a 45. couldnt make use of the last transfer though was really hoping it would be a free space i would have got 52 in that case. great game im definitely picking it up now that i played it with you folk.
75 is theoretically possible, if you finish all lines (41) and use the 5 transfers to get 10, 8, 8, 4 and 4 points respectively. Not sure if it's doable with the specific sequence of numbers you drew though.
45, I don't think I cheated. I do know that for the first four cards, I paused the video, made my choice, resumed the video and watched Matt proceed to make the exact same choice I had :S
Great visual layout! Camera placement, card placement... it's all aces.

16:25 - The beginning of the game, for those that already know the rules.

I too love the print & play along videos! I've gotten to play Metro X, Railroad Ink, and Cartographers with you all! Lots of fun!
"Metrocity!" Yo, the Megamind quote!
Watched all of Fitzthistlewits stuff this morning, and Matt didn't lie when he said his videos were so much better than other videos.
Shouting "Trains!" at the mirror around @39:00 was amazing. Especially hearing Tom in the distance shouting at his corner mirror.
I agree with Matt. This is more of my style of game than Railroad Ink. Got 48 points, but only because you told us we could play with solo scoring.
I'm so high, I thought this was live. Lol
Whoopie-di-doo-dah - woopie-di-day
Hope they make an app for this game, a lot of fun!
I actually did one for my own enjoyment. It was quite straightforward, honestly surprised they haven't done it themselves. Easy money!
@@thijsschipper6406 is it available on android?
39 but I realized I was working the transits completely wrong, so it should probably be closer to 29. Still a fun time though.

Actually I read the empty stations thing wrong. I did a little better. 52 points. TRAINS!

Beautiful Tom; yes beware mat! he's up to x% of you. Don't let him cook for us, he might surpass you!
I got 45, and only accidentally cheated once. Overall I'm gonna consider that a win.

Wow, I’ve got very lucky (if only the last one was not the transfer, I would have no empty). I’ve scored 52 against you and 60 based on solo rules
That's impressive
I managed to get a 53 solo
I didn't keep track of what my multiplayer score would be, sadly
Also, the fact that so many of us (as a group) got such good scores suggests to me that we had lucky numbers on top of whatever increased skill that comes from a group of people already interested in board games.
27:43 LIVE!!!! Yo!
Maybe just me but the link for the rules doesn't seem to open properly
If playing against Matt and Tom, I got 37 points (scoring less if they score first). If playing solo, I got 44 points

I got 38. The last few cards were kind of suboptimal for me :D

does anyone know the youtube chanal they are talking about, I want to watch it

And the videos are what Matt said (generally).
Oof, that's a lot of transfers. I think I'd almost house-rule removing them from the game once they're played so they don't get shuffled in.
58pts (solo scoring, all gold score)
45, I don't think I cheated. I do know that for the first four cards, I paused the video, made my choice, resumed the video and watched Matt proceed to make the exact same choice I had :S
I just discovered Tower of Mages. A nice little PnP. I would like to see your take on it.
RIP Fitzthistlewits.
38 Ok I Guess
