Correction: you get two workers when trading in a die for a worker Correction 2: only one purchase from black market (the center hexes) can be made on your turn unless you have a hex in your city that says otherwise. Extra note: when selling goods you’ll gain VP depending on number of players in the game. Each mine tile placed on your map gives you 1 coin at the end of each phase (not round). All this info and all other details are shown on the helper sheet included in the game.
I also understood that when you sell goods you get 1 coin + 2/3/4 victory points for each sold goods tile (depending on the number of players (2/3/4))? So that maybe Correction 3?
Thank you for this video. I knew CoB wasn't hard to learn, but the rulebook was a little daunting. Your video has helped me understand the game much more easily.
Thank you for the nice feedback!! The rulebook looks super daunting but the gameplay is really quite smooth once you see it in action. I hope you’re able to hop into the game a little easier now!!!
@@BoardGamingwithKonakat Going to run through it this weekend. Probably going to make some mistakes since that's what I always do on the first play of a game, but probably fewer mistakes will be made because of your video. Thanks!
Hey lady! Thanks for making this video, I couldn't find one on the set up. Although I do wish there was a video that included the terrain tiles so I could see what it's like to play with them too, but this is a great start! Rahdo doesn't include the set up in his so your video is the winner.
Thank you so much for the feedback! I’ll def work on additional videos to show some of the expansions and start with those terrain tiles!! For this one I really wanted to make this a get started and playing quick kind of video! I did make a couple errors as another viewer as pointed out in the comments. You gain victory points when you sell goods and you’ll get two workers when you trade a dice for workers.
Excellent explanations!!! Please add a note about selling goods (at about 12:25 timestamp) that in addition to the one coin you also get Victory Points for each goods sold (varies with number of players as to how many VP per goods sold... basically 1 point for each player in the game, so for a two player game, 2 Victory Points ... so your purple marker would advance 4 due to selling two goods)
I totally enjoy your excitement with the game!!! Two more notes to add: At 13:18 each time you turn in a die, you gain two workers, not just one. And at 14:05 maybe let people know that your mine placed on your duchy pays you 1 coin.
@@BoardGamingwithKonakatGladly. I'm always looking out for channels that exude genuine authentic joy of board games, and yours has an infectious energy. Plenty of high profile, high polish board game channels out there, but I always prefer real people talking real talk about games. I hope your channel grows and you're able and motivated to continue. :)
I was worried about not having a fancy high end set up but didn’t want that to discourage me! Thank you again and again for the lovely feedback and encouragement to keep being me!
10:18 this shouldn't be true. You should be limited to one purchase from the black market (or from anywhere if you have yellow 6). Does it not say that in the new rules?
Great video! I just purchased the retail version of this game, and have never played the game before. Off topic question: I think I’m hearing some “clicking” of the hex tiles when you’re reaching into the bags. Do you have the acrylic tiles?
I hope this video helps you get it set up to play! I do well with this set up to make it accessible and easy to play! I don’t have acrylic tiles, but maybe the sound is coming across extra “clinky” when I’m shuffling the tiles?
what a game! really love all the art and pieces!! does the helper page tell all actions and points and such? i love a good helper sheet hehe!! awesome video!!!
Yes the helper sheet gives details on everything and super simple to follow. They did a great job not making the game overwhelming to someone new! And seriously, I have miniature castles!!!!!!! 🏰🏰🏰
Anyone who's played Gary Grigsbys war in the east 1 or, Crusader Kings 2 (not 3) Hearts of Iron 3 or 4 with all expansions, Europa Universalis IV. Victoria 2 (not 3) and on and on will find this game extremely easy to pick up (which is a good thing). BGG 'weight' ratings are based essentially on how many rules there are.. As no human can ever book keep as well as a computer it's a given the computer games have the ability to be much *much* harder. All these are a cakewalk to pick up.
Thank you for the explanation. It looks like a great game. I only miss the competitive element where you can hinder the other player. And i saw in other explanation that whoever rolls the white die changes. You did not tell that
@@rurugby I love the updated artwork but unless your hardcore into all aspects of the game, it wouldn’t be worth the price tag. This big box has all the expansions, so if owning all those is important for you then definitely worth it.

Great explanation, I do recommend recording at a higher resolution as the spots on the board were very hard to see
Hoping I can upgrade my equipment someday! Thanks for watching and for the feedback!

The terrain tiles look so cool and I’d love to play with them but they are a bit out of my budget right now! Maybe someday I can add them!!!
@@BoardGamingwithKonakat That makes sense, they were definitely not cheap! It was our splurge game :)
@@briarrose7016 the tiles look beautiful!!! Hope you get to play and enjoy them soon!!!
This is the best explanation of the game - I now finally understand how to play. Thank you so much!
That’s great to hear!!!! Have fun playing!!!

Thanks for helping me update some rules that I overlooked!
I love your energy! Cheers
Thank you!! 💙💙💙
Great explanation. Perfect intro.
Thank you so much! I worked hard on this one and glad it’s helpful!!!
Thank You…great run through!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Very fun game explanation of this great game. Keep up the great enthusiastic work. :)
Thank you so much for the great feedback! Keeps me encouraged to keep doing this!

Thanks for the video, lots of luck on your channel. Subscribed 👍🏻
Thank you for the encouragement to keep making more!
Thank you. This video was very helpful.
I’m glad it helped! This is such a fun game and I don’t want anyone getting discouraged by a giant rulebook!!

Do you think the special edition is worth it? Looks like an enormous box.

When do you move along the track around the board?
Are you asking when you score and move your scoring marker?
