I re-watched the run-through today, after playing four 3-player games in a row last night and I believe the C tile was scored incorrectly (it came up in a couple of our games). The rulebook states "2 VPs for each LANDSCAPE tile in your LARGEST COMPLETED WATER AREA". As it turns out, Jen's water area only has one tile with landscape on it (the starting castle one, as the other three only have mountains), so she should have scored 2 points instead of the 8. This game is addictive!
+Yann Hillion I went ahead and checked and I think you are referring to the 14:40 timestamp... if so, I think Richard played correctly... The rulebook says, like you quoted: "2 VPs for each LANDSCAPE tile in your LARGEST COMPLETED WATER AREA" But you should have extended the CAPS from LANDSCAPE to LANDSCAPE TILE because that's important, if you see the rules a Landscape Tile is just a Tile, any tile is a Landscape tile... for example, in the draw phase the rules tell : "Each player draws 3 landscape tiles from the bag and places them face up in front of their player screen" So, I think there was some confusion on your part on what a Landscape tile is... in that scoring Jen had a closed water region that was comprised of 4 Landscape Tiles so she scores 8 points! Thanks
Another excellent video! I was going to ask if, in Round 3, you would you really have given Jen 5 coins to stop her from closing off her lake, but enabling her to buy the boats away from you. Then I watched the next round, and saw what you meant about boats being common. This teaches me to wait for the whole video before asking questions.
So, another similar question like I asked before in a different game recently... Around 11:30, when you nearly were able to buy the tile from Jen that she needed to close off her lake, if you had had 1 dollar more, would you have done it in a real game? That would have been a huge loss for her for that round of scoring. Just wondering if *that* would have been too mean? Or not really, because you still would have been giving her a lot of money for it, so that justifies the "meanness."
+Horace Watkins something similar has happened while we play. she reveals and it's something she *clearly* needs badly, but she valued it like at 7, but she was trying to hold some cash for end game scoring, and so i told her "you know, i have exactly 7, and if you get that you might win the game right now... are you sure you don't want to value it at 8...?" and she bumped the price up by one, and boom, everybody's happy pappy :)
I'm curious: could you have locked Jen into only getting one tile per turn by setting your tiles just high enough and buying whichever one she valued lower? With two more rounds of play, by doing that you could have had 17 tiles to her 9, likely taking the VP lead somewhere along the line. To me, that seems like a dangerous "The rich get richer" scenario here.

The pop-up at 24:28 had me laughing so hard I had to pause!
Best pop-up ever!

+akahoshirezosama yeah, except when i buy from her i'm giving her money to be able to buy from me later :)
Richard, does the road through a mountain range seperate the mountains or is it counted as one?
