It's irritating that I never had a teacher, in over 16 years of school, who was even close to being as proficient in breaking down a big concept into bite size pieces as you are. Awesome video!
This is exactly how a game tutorial video should look like: absolutely professional presentation, clear and precise explanations without any fuss around it. Paul, you are by far the best out there to explain games!
Thank you. All superchat and ad revenue goes to charity, so thank you for the donation. Patreon is the method I use for direct support if you were interested in supporting the channel directly, but don't feel you need to.
This is the first time I've ever watched a video in a rush before going to game night to teach a game (which I'm horrible at). Many of the little things you explained stuck with me and were vital at moments when someone reached for the rulebook and COULD NOT find the answer they needed. You won me over with your Cloudspire videos (and cool to see you in their Discord!) and your skill at what you do continues to amaze. 👍
Thank you for the kind words. I think my videos over the past few years are much better than the ones I did when I started, and I hope I continue to improve :)
Magnificent job explaining how to play. Quite possibly your finest work, and thats saying a lot since you do a bang up job in every video. Thank you for all your work for us board gamers. Have a wonderful day!!! ❤️
I missed the kickstarter, but I preordered the game today! Ark Nova, Terraforming Mars, Wingspan, Everdell... all lovely fun games with a lot of cards, and I think this one fits nicely between them. I'll be trying out the game tonight on Tabletopia. Thank you for your excellent level of explanation.
Really comprehensive and helpful video! I particularly enjoyed the massive two-handed hand of cards you had to demonstrate the fact there’s no limit on how many cards you can hold lol Definitely excited for this one. Kinda gives me Wingspan meets Terraforming Mars Ares Expedition vibes, but dialled up to 11!
Clear and concise. Played a game yesterday and enjoyed it, wanted to check if we had missed anything and this really helped clear a couple bits up. Thank you.
Thank you Paul - another thorough yet concise tutorial video. Your videos are just amazing. I've been meaning to support you on Patreon and I'm going to do it right now. Thanks again.
Thank you, Paul, as always for the very clear teach! I am so looking forward to the arrival of this game. I have a feeling it is going to be a favorite!
First time watching your videos and wow! I read the rule book for like an hour but i wasnt ready to teach it yet. But tour video was just perfect. Im ready now!
Thank you. All superchat revenue gets added to the ad revenue for the channel which all goes to charity. I'm not sure yet exactly which charity we're supporting this month, but your donation will go to a worthy cause.
FINALLY… I’m eagerly awaiting EARTH’s delivery.. and I’m happy to see this vid.. after salivating at the unboxing. P.S. the ISS Vanguard rulebook was spot on
Great tutorial, but I have question for turn/action step. So, the active player choose an action and marked it with the "active player token". It is clear. But regarding the rulebook, the other players can choose this action or repeat the same action from their last turn. I mean, for instance, the first round the active player choose the 'planting' action. Everybody marked it with their own 5th leaf token. Then the next player choose the growth action. Everyone else can choose this growth action, or the planting because that was ther last action. Am I wrong? Thank you in advance!
The other players MUST do the same action as chosen by the active player. What the rulebook is saying is that the active player has complete freedom in the action they choose - it could be the same action another player just did, or the same action they last did, etc. But every other player must follow the active player.
Thanks for the video. Very usefull. The game look pretty good and very educative. I hope it will come soon to Spain. An expansión of every continent would be pretty good too.
Fantastic Video, thanks! We tried the Game today, it was a pleasure to Play. It is very different and Just satisfying. Two minor Things you didnt mention: are the Event cards' effects for everyone or Just for the one who played them? And If I activate a card's ability and there are two actions on there (Like Take 2 growth and Mulch two cards') do I have to do both or May I Just Pick one ignoring the other?
The negative compost symbol on some action cards - the minus sign before the leaf with the recycle arrows - do those go back in your hand or out of the game forever? Thanks!
Its so irritating that we get a 18 year tutorial for us humans but then i count myself lucky as there are *some* *certain* countries that make their tutorials last more than 20 years!!!
I had a question about the terrain cards that say you can’t use a specific colored action, when can you not use that colored action? During the round that it was played?
Sorry one more question, if your doing your action order from top left column to bottom right column on your tableaux do you have to activate all of that specific actions on all the cards that have it?
The best place to keep an eye on what I am doing is either on the Gaming Rules! facebook page. Or, if you aren't on there, I do a Patreon post at the start of each week with my plans. www.patreon.com/gamingrules
This plays like an advanced/improved version of Ark nova, sans the stupid scoring mechanic, and with a side of Gizmo's engine builder mechanic. The best of both worlds with none of the nonce.
Thanks for the kind words. At the end of the last year, I did a series of videos where I ranked my entire collection. At the end of part 3 is the final list - however, the ranking system couldn't cope with that many games, and the end result isn't that accurate, but you will get a good idea.
is this good? It looks really cute and everything but I looked at the playthrough on TTS a few months ago and to me it doesn´t seem like it offer alot apart from the cute theme and nice artwork?
I can't really tell you whether it is good or not as this was a commissioned video. However, I can give you the thoughts of the other people I played it with on a games day (3 games, 6 different other players) - they all loved it. But not everyone likes the same sort of games. For me, it is a good weight / depth / complexity / length of game, and it plays smooth.
It's irritating that I never had a teacher, in over 16 years of school, who was even close to being as proficient in breaking down a big concept into bite size pieces as you are. Awesome video!
Thanks!
This is why boardgames are such a wonderful teaching tool. AND why i am subscribed to this channel. The Man is a legend!
Damn I've been playing (live on) Earth for almost 40 years. It's about time someone makes a "how to".
I hope this helps you with some things in life, such as "getting out of bed" :)
This is exactly how a game tutorial video should look like: absolutely professional presentation, clear and precise explanations without any fuss around it. Paul, you are by far the best out there to explain games!
Thanks a lot Paul for taking the time to make this great how to play video, it's really well made, crisp and clear :)
Paul, I like the animation that you used to highlight specific areas of the cards; very helpful.
Thanks for another great instructional video!
Really well explained!

Said goodbye to the rulebook. Watched this video and ready to play in 30 mins! Thanks Paul..
I was saddened to not find a «Watch it played» video but goddam that was so clear thx
I hope to think I did as good a job with it. :)
The use of orthogonally got the whole fam impressed!!
I've been trying to learn Earth on BGA and none of the other videos I watched were making sense. Thanks for creating a great tutorial!
Such a fun game. Was totally sold on this one by the playthrough you did. Glad you did the rules video and looking forward to a solo playthrough.

Definitely excited for this one. Kinda gives me Wingspan meets Terraforming Mars Ares Expedition vibes, but dialled up to 11!
I'm glad someone notices those small details :)
Clear and concise. Played a game yesterday and enjoyed it, wanted to check if we had missed anything and this really helped clear a couple bits up. Thank you.
I think your playthroughs are fantastic, best way to learn a new game, and your straight teaches are also fantastic!!
Good thing April isn't that far away. Definitely excited for this one.
Excellent walkthrough / explanation, and wonderfully edited. Thank you for the great work, as always!
This wasn't on my radar until I've watched this video - thanks for this Paul!
Thank you Paul - another thorough yet concise tutorial video. Your videos are just amazing. I've been meaning to support you on Patreon and I'm going to do it right now. Thanks again.
This new intro is spot on! Quick, to the point, modern. I love it.
Thanks! Took a while to get there.
Thank you, Paul, as always for the very clear teach! I am so looking forward to the arrival of this game. I have a feeling it is going to be a favorite!
First time watching your videos and wow!
I read the rule book for like an hour but i wasnt ready to teach it yet. But tour video was just perfect. Im ready now!
Thank you for the very excellent teach. I just received my copy today! I'll be cracking it open tomorrow!
Super excited to get this on the table today (arrived yesterday). It looks like such a fun game - and I love tableau builders. Thanks for the teach!
Very informative and easy to follow. Looking forward to playing at the weekend with family
I didn't know about a team mode. This is brilliantly simple and is a huge deal for me.
Great game explanation, thanks! I was impressed with the amount of credits at the end :O
Very, very, very well explained ! Clear and perfectly illustrated. ❤
Thanks!
So looking forward to this one….great vid as always
Thanks!

Thank you Pau ! I have backed the game thanks to you. I do not regret it a bit !
Looking forward to this game. I hear its a Kickstarter but I will pick it up when it's available at retail. Thanks for the excellent tutorial👍
April 22nd is release date in the US at least
Very excited for this one. I hope its as much fun as your playthrough made it appear but no matter what it'll look nice on my shelf :)
I've played it about 7 times in the last few weeks. It's a lot of fun and plays smooth.
Great video! I'll be revisiting when my pledge arrives. Thanks for all you do.
Great video Paul.
Great video Paul, my copy should be arriving soon.
Great video as always. This is on it's way to be my favorite game of the year!
Great teach as always Paul! I had also missed the team mode, it might be a family hit.
I just ordered this and will have to watch the video again when it arrives.
Another game I need!! Thanks again Paul!
Thank you Paul, great video as always and I'm looking forward to your solo tutorial video
Great work Paul! Thank you. I'm really looking forward to getting this game.
I so can not wait for it to arrive!
Great teaching, as usually! Thank you! Are still planning on doing Solo video?
Nice video Paul, thanks.
Thanks for teaching this in such a clear and concise way, as always!
This was a fantastic video! I'm so excited to play it tonight! Thank you!!
Great teach as usual! I'm so excited to try this one!
FINALLY… I’m eagerly awaiting EARTH’s delivery.. and I’m happy to see this vid.. after salivating at the unboxing.

@@GamingRulesVideos thank you. It wasn't so clear.
@@attilablazsek Happy to help!
Excellent aid as always!
Clearly and perferct done Paul! Great job.
Thanks for the video. Very usefull. The game look pretty good and very educative. I hope it will come soon to Spain. An expansión of every continent would be pretty good too.
As always, absolutely excellent video.
You explain the heavy games very well. TYVM😝
Fantastic learn to play video! We are playing this today :D
Love this video, great video that tells you everything! =) Thank you

🦊 🏝🗻🌊 Fantastic explanation, super clear, well divided and very simply put. Thanks again for the video ❤
Thank you. This was an excellent teach.
Really great teach! Everything super clear. Thanks Paul

Events only affect the person who played them.
All effects are optional, unless it is a cost, in which case, it must be paid in full.
@@GamingRulesVideos thanks!
Very nice tutorial, reminds me of Everdell
Awesome, thanks a lot for your great work!
Glad it helped
Great video, thanks!
Great video!
Useful video thanks.
Thank you for this video!
This video help me a lot... Tks!
Glad it helped!
The negative compost symbol on some action cards - the minus sign before the leaf with the recycle arrows - do those go back in your hand or out of the game forever? Thanks!
It means “spend” so you discard it to the discard pile.
@@GamingRulesVideos I really appreciate it!
I thought the rules say that you must only plant new card over, under, left and right from another card, not diagonally?
How necessary is the beginner game? Have to do it every time a new player joins?
I always do, but you don't NEED to. I know a lot of people who just throw people in with everything from game 1.
Its so irritating that we get a 18 year tutorial for us humans but then i count myself lucky as there are *some* *certain* countries that make their tutorials last more than 20 years!!!
I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
Did the video for the solo mode ever get done? It's not linked in the Description as mentioned...
It did. Adding the link now: ua-cam.com/video/Jp_2ZkDFamI/v-deo.html
@@GamingRulesVideos Great! Thank you.
I had a question about the terrain cards that say you can’t use a specific colored action, when can you not use that colored action? During the round that it was played?
Actually I figured it out
@@leegreening6727 I was just about to reply :)
Could you explain it just in case, since you were about to reply?
@@leegreening6727 You cannot choose that action for the rest of the game.
Sorry one more question, if your doing your action order from top left column to bottom right column on your tableaux do you have to activate all of that specific actions on all the cards that have it?
Thanks!😊
Is there now an 'update' to the official rule , that you can now store Sprouts? (as of 2023-3024)
I would never play without that rule now, but it's not for me to say whether it is "official" :)
Mr. Grogan, are you going to be doing a Hegemony: Lead your class to victory playthrough? Thanks (sorry I don't know where I can ask this properly).

Paul is the best!
too kind
thanks for the help
Your the best! By the way do you have a list somewhere for your top 100 games of all time or top 50 etc?
Thanks for the kind words. At the end of the last year, I did a series of videos where I ranked my entire collection. At the end of part 3 is the final list - however, the ranking system couldn't cope with that many games, and the end result isn't that accurate, but you will get a good idea.

This reminds me of Race for the Galaxy.
