As one of the co-designers of this game - Im totally geeking out watching you each enjoy the game. Also, as a Canadian I respect the hockey word "Deeking" was used.
Great game! It's elegant/minimalist in its layout, but there's lots of room for subtleties. It reminds me of "bridge night," where people can sit around and chat about whatever outwardly with their friends, but the whole time they are planning moves/tricks ahead. A lot of games are so bogged down with a frakton of counters, cards, exceptions, and modifiers that everyone has to spend the whole time just trying to keep the rules straight. It's good to see one that has a classic appeal like Go or chess... a couple minutes to learn, a lifetime to master :)
Hate to add to the rules flubs, but around 31:30, Sandeep uses two tools in one turn, which isn't allowed, you can only use one per turn. In all fairness, though, easy one to make, the others should've called him on it :P Also, Becca says he could place his green down then remove it later as an illegal positioning, but that's not allowed either.
I literally watched this to understand how to play. I feel like even though they got it dreadfully wrong, I learned what I needed to learn because of the comments. The one thing I was confused about was if I had to play my next die off my last die. Thats how we were ok playing and we got trapped very early on. But I think the rules say you can only play orthogonally or diagonally of you last played dice. As in plural. So you can play off the entire group of dice. Which makes it much easier to play.
Love the show and you guys really showed how game is played out but 2 big rules were neglected. You guys can’t have the same color dice AND same number dice touching each other orthogonally.
I was thinking about how its no Tabletop, but I could get used to it. Then she said orthogonally, a word I have been looking for. I think I'll like this show.
Okay, I might sound silly asking this. But! If certain cards allow a player to break a rule (ignoring number/ shade) and someone points it out later in the game. And that player forgets he used the card and takes off the dice he’s losing points when he shouldn’t. I know you should keep track of how many token you have/used. But wouldn’t this get confusing?
You are correct...this was an epic fail at the very beginning when she was explaining the game rules before game play. She pointed out that no color could be "orthogonally" (above, below or side by side) touching the same color but she failed to mention the die of a same number also couldn't touch orthogonally. Then several played number to number. I also feel it would have been better if they did some close up overhead shots to show the game-boards as the game play progressed. I just ordered game and am waiting for it to arrive so I'm watching several videos to get familiar with it. I so wish Will and Anna Wheaton would put this game on Table Top!!
You reckon you guys could get Full Moon Jacket? Saw some folks playing it at an event yesterday and they wouldn't stop until the place closed so i never got a go.
I feel like the "asides" portion of this show is missing. Everyone is comparing it to Tabletop and I think that a LOT of the humor in that show is from the individual interview portions that play throughout. Excluding that piece of the puzzle seems like a missed opportunity.
Before you go ahead a film something like this, you would probably want to have someone experienced with the rules show at least one person how to play. There were tons of illegally placed dice.

This is a great game and one I've enjoyed playing. But as a game being filmed this needs an occasional overhead shot of players boards, as viewers haven't really got a clue what's happening on each board. Great series though, thanks for making them.

i m french sorry for my English, Balancing problem Bravo, excellent video, I have a problem balancing in the lens with this game, ex: 2 points per pair of 1 and 2, imagine that I can do 3 pairs in my table or 6 points, if during the game I simply took a 6 in the color of my objecti F and well it also makes 6 points!!!!, on one side we need 6 dice to make 6 points of the other 1!!!!! I love this game but the, I think it was not enough test to let it pass!!

So, going to double-down on the rules mistake from the first video, are you? By the end of the episode, there were 13 incorrectly placed dice across your boards.
if the rules say they actually have to be caught with the dice in the right place. It could be argued that since they weren't caught they are not against the rules. A few friends of mine and I enjoyed games like these for quite a while because trying to pull one over on each other and getting away with it becomes just as much part of the game as the basic rules where we end up playing two games in one. The game as written and the game of deception by managing not to be caught with an incorrect play that's only incorrect when caught.
I miss when geek & sundry was good , you had TableTop and a lot of funny stuff , now we have Game the Game , I loved tabletop , infact when Will and Felicia were here it was a hell of a lot more popular but now they get super low views , geek and sundry used to be Geek & sundry! It was a happier time when Will and Felicia was there...
She is some worthy Wil Wheaton game hosting competitor. especially the complex games she previews are not as easy to capture in such a video. Ok Wil does sometimes preview more complex games, too... but she definitely plays some interesting stuff guys.
Basically, the shitty company that bought G&S wanted to move Tabletop to a streaming service behind a pay wall, Wheaton didn't want to so they stopped production. If you were wondering why G&S is a wasteland now, that's why. Becca is really likeable and I wish her the best but this show is extremely boring compared to Tabletop. To be brutally honest, she's all pep and no personality.
As one of the co-designers of this game - Im totally geeking out watching you each enjoy the game. Also, as a Canadian I respect the hockey word "Deeking" was used.
Hey Daryl, do you want to tell them they are playing the game wrong?
They are placing identical values next to each other. There were 13 incorrectly placed dice across their boards.
Oh congrats man, the game is great!

Very nice game design.
Sandeep is so good at picking friendly fights on camera. MVP
Heart Becca.

Vork and Zaboo?
Fine I'll watch.
Honestly same..Also the editor of this show is pretty cool. :)
this playthrough would have definitely benefited from a split screen with an overhead cam for the whole game.

I want a Jeff Lewis pop up on all UA-cam videos whenever something needs explaining.
Love the show and you guys really showed how game is played out but 2 big rules were neglected. You guys can’t have the same color dice AND same number dice touching each other orthogonally.
They also added sets of 3/4's for example instead of sets of 3's and sets of 4's. 3+4 =0 points. 3+3 and 4+4 = 4 points for 2 sets.
Wow, I love this game, and This show in general. Keep doing the great content and I will forever be a viewer.
I was thinking about how its no Tabletop, but I could get used to it. Then she said orthogonally, a word I have been looking for. I think I'll like this show.
oh my god last turn 6 with 6, 1 with 1 , 5 with 5 , 3 players !!! all people forget the rules !!
Becca clearly loves playing board games so much! A joy to watch
"Whatever you're doing, keep on doing it!" Ah, I see you too are a supervisor.
I can't give this comment enough thumbs up
Okay, I might sound silly asking this. But! If certain cards allow a player to break a rule (ignoring number/ shade) and someone points it out later in the game.

Great tight game by everyone!
Fun group - fun game :) Jeff was hilarious :) Also loved the 'Jeff' movie posters :) Great episode :)
anytime guild members are here it's so extra fun.
Becca really is an amazing host.. Simply my opinion..
The graphics work was great!
Jeff's voice is just so soothing, if he did audio-books I would definitely fall right asleep...
great work tony!!!
Playing with the graphic at the start was funny.
Nice video! Just discoreved this and youre doing a good job.
I think a dice tray would be very usefull for this game.
I thought 2 number couldn't be next to one another. The example in the beginning had two 6 next to on another. As well as 2's. 3:34

Love the guys! You let's are cool too.
Bonus points for the card reveals
I feel like the "asides" portion of this show is missing. Everyone is comparing it to Tabletop and I think that a LOT of the humor in that show is from the individual interview portions that play throughout. Excluding that piece of the puzzle seems like a missed opportunity.
0:55: The moment I knew I had to subscribe to this channel, "Discard the other."
Really wish Tabletop would cover this.
Before you go ahead a film something like this, you would probably want to have someone experienced with the rules show at least one person how to play. There were tons of illegally placed dice.
This is why God created "Watch It Played" and Rodney Smith.
How dare you. Didn't you read that she's "actually a gamer?"

They missed the adjacent number rule, but since everyone ignored it, it's fine.
Does Becca know she can’t use the same shade and not just the same color next to each other. Her blue 2 next to her red 2 in round 7 I think.
This is a great game and one I've enjoyed playing. But as a game being filmed this needs an occasional overhead shot of players boards, as viewers haven't really got a clue what's happening on each board.
Great series though, thanks for making them.
omg how did no one see the many misplaced dice on the game boards?
What is the technical name for Tony the Graphics Guy's job? It seems fun!
Headphone warning at 24:42 ;-;
around 47:00 sandeep has 4 threes! he should get 8points there!!!
Is this Table Top with The Guild?
Becca Scott, the hardest working woman in the board games business!
Trying real hard to be hot. Partially succeeding.
partially? someone has some unrealistically high standards.
No shit. She's no Felicia Day, but she's a very acceptable substitute.
Not that Felicia Day isn't attractive but I think she's far less attractive than Becca to be honest, especially with that killer overbite.
The rules for this game aren’t complex. Too bad they aren’t playing correctly.

*The moment I noticed Sandeep has two yellows next to each other*
Where’s Will Wheaton??? 😞
That's right, play it your way 😉🙃 it's a fun game
Were is tabletop?
TableTop is dead; get over it. I miss it too, but it's the truth.
Maaaaaaan
i m french sorry for my English, Balancing problem
Bravo, excellent video, I have a problem balancing in the lens with this game, ex: 2 points per pair of 1 and 2, imagine that I can do 3 pairs in my table or 6 points, if during the game I simply took a 6 in the color of my objecti F and well it also makes 6 points!!!!, on one side we need 6 dice to make 6 points of the other 1!!!!! I love this game but the, I think it was not enough test to let it pass!!
and i like your "oops"
Jeff was great! :D
The Jeff show! I would get behind that 153 percent!
Becca Scott = Breathtaking
jeff 1-1, rebecca 1-1, sandepp 6-6 on his final board ! arf
16:28 Heavy breathing
I think they forgot you can’t put dice with the same number next to each other 😕
You are correct...this was an epic fail at the very beginning when she was explaining the game rules before game play.

Why is Jeff Lewis the only Guild member to not have a Wikipedia page?
Becca is cool as a host. But Tabletop is a better show in every single way.
So, going to double-down on the rules mistake from the first video, are you? By the end of the episode, there were 13 incorrectly placed dice across your boards.
You sound like a real joy.
Usually I am. Sagrada is a great game with two pages of rules. Two pages!
Yeah, you can't have the same number touching & you can't have the same color touching. Diagonally is OK, though.
Wanting to play board games correctly makes him not a joy? I feel like I would rather play with someone who's playing by the rules.
if the rules say they actually have to be caught with the dice in the right place. It could be argued that since they weren't caught they are not against the rules. A few friends of mine and I enjoyed games like these for quite a while because trying to pull one over on each other and getting away with it becomes just as much part of the game as the basic rules where we end up playing two games in one. The game as written and the game of deception by managing not to be caught with an incorrect play that's only incorrect when caught.
I like female Will Wheaton. She is super cute.
I came here for Vork! And because I bought the game...
One of his kids is. Being rises by Jeff ?
I miss when geek & sundry was good , you had TableTop and a lot of funny stuff , now we have Game the Game , I loved tabletop , infact when Will and Felicia were here it was a hell of a lot more popular but now they get super low views , geek and sundry used to be Geek & sundry! It was a happier time when Will and Felicia was there...
She's hot
She is some worthy Wil Wheaton game hosting competitor. especially the complex games she previews are not as easy to capture in such a video.
Ok Wil does sometimes preview more complex games, too... but she definitely plays some interesting stuff guys.
Anyone else hear "Support your minions?"
Bring back GMTIPS!!!!
I don’t want to be a rules nazi, but there were A LOT of mistakes in your game.
And with that i started to root for Sandeep
am i the only one who thinks he looks like nic cage?
This seems alot like Tabletop except less enjoyable. Did Tabletop get cancelled or something?
Basically, the shitty company that bought G&S wanted to move Tabletop to a streaming service behind a pay wall, Wheaton didn't want to so they stopped production. If you were wondering why G&S is a wasteland now, that's why. Becca is really likeable and I wish her the best but this show is extremely boring compared to Tabletop. To be brutally honest, she's all pep and no personality.
Definetly not to watch if you want to learn this game here, but they have fun playing this.
I have to move to NY to get closer to Becca :o OMG she is so beautiful!
So many rule mistakes even though they talked about the rules again with each other.....
I miss Will
All you people cheated and didnt even realize watch or read the rules again NO SAME NUMBERS SIDE BY SIDE up and down is ok BUT NOT SIDE TO SIDE
So many mistakes......But the game is Beautiful.
And STOP LOOKING AT THE PROMPT.... What is this, a cheap commercial?
Also Becca keeps making mistakes in like all the games she plays.
Bring will back. He was way more entertaining to watch.
what was your favorite Will video. Want to check him out.
Still no tabletop? I'm out...
Becca Scott is a way better host of tabletop than Wheaton.
