Hopefully that shirt will be an add-on in the pre-orders.
Not many people could wear that shirt as well as Rodney.
First thing I noticed was the shirt. I was like “That’s a pretty nice shirt!”
I definitely want that shirt.
I always love your choices for “a suitable replacement “. Never fails to make me laugh.
pandemic disease cubes would be nice
The helium replacement bit was perfect. Thanks for the chuckle Rodney
Glad you liked that ;)
We quickly discovered the only problem with doing early reviews.... learning without Rodney!!! 😱 such great, clear instruction as always, thank you for creating a wonderful resource! 💕
You are both too kind! Looking forward to seeing your review!
I am currently on book three of the Red Rising Trilogy, and I am hungering for more from that universe - so here I am! Very excited to learn this one!! *grabs popcorn*
Hope you enjoy!
Did he just pull 5 cards into his hand without even counting? Rodney is a magician!
He is a high level slight of hand expert, he can control the whole deck, related to that don't play poker with Rodney!
Looks cool. but it's not a coincidence ;)
Man this makes me want to reread the series. Loved the first three books
And, for me, loved the new series too so far ^-^
I subscribe to Jamie’s channel mainly for his tips on getting started developing board games, but his channel has a lot of great content and he comes off as so personable and friendly.
Someone should really put together a compilation video titled "Rodney's Suitable Replacements".
Patreon video!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get on it, Chaz!!!
pandemic disease cubes would be nice
Omg....game and a new book this year! 2021 I love you!
2:04 I am always amazed by little things you pay attention to like how you make sure to draw exactly 5 cards... Thank you for another great video Rodney :)
Thanks for being here!
Thanks - I'm liking the simplicity of this as a nice chilled alternative to my usual brain busters and should be easy to teach too
Glad you enjoyed what you saw!
I really think that your quality and colors of your videos is soo much better as the time has passed! Great video as usual, really clear and "on point". Thank you
Thanks Gurgu. Hoping to add little improvements as I'm able!
Rodney, you are such an excellent teacher and such a lovely human being! Thank you so much for such excellent content! I love that you had “the arrow in the quiver” with your shirt! Such a nice and elevated touch!
Very kind of you to say - so glad you've enjoyed the videos :)
Thank you for the reply! Your content is truly top notch and so informative and enjoyable! Can’t wait until March 3rd to pick up this one!
Such a beautiful and easy presentation as always Rodney!! You ALWAYS make games so inviting to learn 😭 also loving the new animations and b roll! So clean! 👌🏽
Thank you kindly Tim :)
My brain hurts. Still don't know how to play.
Rodney! Great video as always. I finished the second book in this series recently and found out the next day about theRed Rising game. I was super excited and even more excited to hear Jamey say there'd be a Watch It Played video coming out today. Keep up the great work :)
Thank you Nick - wild bit of timing there :)
Perfect shirt! Loved how many different cards you show cased too! Thanks!
Try to give a good variety. Loads more in there!
I like the hand building for end game scoring element here, reminds me of Fantasy Realms which is really great.
That is directly what he cited as inspiration, his favorite filler game.
Rodney, your the best at this. I needed a quick refresh to play 2nd game with new players and your vid did the job without wasting time. thanks!
So nice to know this was helpful! Hope you all had (or will have) fun!
Back again with the suitable replacement jokes. I don't know why those get me laughing so hard, but please keep them coming! Another great video, Rodney!
Glad you've been enjoying them :)
So excited for this game and for this Watch it Played!!! This book series is one of my favorites, and having it come to the tabletop, and on Watch it Played? Is this my birthday‽
If it is: then happy birthday!
Great showcase for the cards, appreciate that. The game reminds me alot of Nidavellir in card play and points scoring.
Neat components, the rules seem simple and mostly intuitive (and you did a great job explaining them), but I’m not sure there’s a ton of game there.
Well, according to the dev diary, it's directly inspired by a 20 min filler called Fantasy Realms.
I kind of like the idea of a Stonemaier filler game. This might fill the spot of something in my collection like Century Golem, a great small game but one that I’ve played quite a bit.
@@kylesmorgabord5592 Well, despite the fact this was inspired by a 20 minute filler, Jamey was pretty clear about this not being a filler game.
James C, what do you mean? This looks like a pretty solid hand managment/set collection game. Not every game is going to be Terra Mystica.
Some games happen more in the card interactions/combos and effects than in the general rules that govern their play. Not saying there is enough game here for your particular tastes, but something I figured I'd mention.
Ahhh! So exciting! Can’t wait to try this. Looks ace. Great video as always Rodney!
Thanks WBG!
Looks great. Thanks Rodney!
Damn, I love those suitable replacement bits. :)
great video and info - as always looking sharp Rodney
Jamey said it was heavily influenced by Fantasy Realms, and that's very evident. I also think it shares a bit with Capital Lux, by getting different rewards from the four columns.
Can't wait for this! I've been reading the books in preparation 😁
Hope you've been enjoying :)
Me too
Great video Rodney. As a BIG fan of the Red Rising series I have to admit, I was a bit worried that this game may be a disappointment. But it looks very enjoyable. I am definitely looking forward to getting my deluxe copy. Awesome job Jamey and Alex!
Thanks for giving the video a watch Christian!
Thank you so much! Getting the checkbook ready!!!
Thanks for checking out the video!
Great vid! As always
Thank you Jeff!
Nothing makes me happier when searching for a How To Play video than seeing your thumbnail!
Hope you find it helpful! Have a great time playing :)
Super helpful video as always!
Very nice to hear - thank you!
Love the shirt Rodney! It is a great complement to the game cover :)
This was a challenging one!
Great video as usual Rodney
Thank you kindly!
Love how you wore a rainbow shirt to thematically match the game. That’s some attention to detail!
Nice catch!
Another great, How To Play, Rodney. Well done.
@@ddobrien1 I've been working on the script. Rodney sets such a high bar that I lose my nerve when I think about it. But yes, I'm going to muster through and put it together. I plan on having it available before pre-order so folks have have another bit of data to consider.
@@DustyCraine I’ll be on the lookout, Dusty!
Thank you kindly Dusty!
The way Rodney says "Marrrs" is so cool.
And ‘farm’
His best video ever was for Fort, where he had to say "yard," "park," "card," and "discard." It was amazing! :D
yeeaaa i’m from australia soooo
Game just arrived today, it's a winner in our house! Thanks for your video.
So glad you enjoyed and are having fun playing :)
Just received my collector's edition yesterday. Hoping to play this weekend!
I hope you get a chance to give it a spin Ron!
I just bought the book and now see they have a board game so I must read the book quickly to be even more excited for this game
There's 2 trilogies of books!
Some of the abilities on the bottom of the cards that score at the end remind me of the scoring abilities from hero realms...good stuff!...looks like an excellent game!
Thanks for checking it out Dave!
@@WatchItPlayed and thank you for covering it Rodney! You are an essential part of the hobby!
He’s the only guy I will watch board game tutorials for lol
So glad to have your here - glad the videos have been helpful Izzy!
I saw a clip of this video in Cult of the News so I was excited to see this pop up on my subscription notification 👀
Thanks for joining us for the news!
I've now started watching these videos for the suitable replacement bits.
Please keep on doing these type of games it’s so helpfull
Will do!
Looking forward to this game!
Thanks for checking it out!
Thank you for the fantastic how to play! I didn't want to be interested in this game but it looks really simple and fun. And the collectors version is just so pretty
Thanks for checking it out!
@@WatchItPlayed and I don't mean to always harass you in the comments. I love your videos.
@@successfulgeek Not at all, the comments are always appreciated!
This man loves his job...and does well.
I do love it - thanks!
That throw at the beginning was actually 🔥
*takes a bow*
im sure most people dont care or didnt notice but i like how the Card highlights with you blurred in the background!
Thanks David, I've been experimenting with that a bit in games with lots of cards. Gave it the first spin with Ashes Reborn.
It's crazy seeing some of these characters when I've made images in my head of how they look as I read the series
I haven't read the books, but I've had that happen with other books I've enjoyed. It can be fun to see an artists vision of a world that only existed in your head.
Totally sold on the collector's edition.
I know....
Thanks for checking out the video!
Love your vid as always Rodney! Just noticed though that the full tutorials playlist hasn't been updated in a while.
Oh, I'll double check - thank you!
I love your suitable replacements
About to try out this game so of course your video was my first choice to prime me up! You made what seemed a bit messy seem much less intimidating :)
So nice to hear that Jonathan!
a suitable replacement...which that wasn't. Love it!
They don't always work out...
I’m never disappointed by Stonemaier games! This looks awesome!
love the helpful video with the upbeat attitude. I am curious how many takes of the helium bit were recorded lol.
Maybe one or two ;)
I am really excited about this game, having read the five books in the series. I think it would be be a great game for us too. Easy to play with two players, and a good theme. I am a little surprised the balloons were not a suitable substitute for helium....hmmm. Great video. I love the mechanics with the cards, and interplay between the different houses. I am already on the notifications list, and am a member of the Stomemaeir Champions, so I will be able to get it as soon as possible, and I am thinking the collector’s edition components are probably worth it. Add another!
Yeah, I have to say, the collectors edition pieces are quite nice!
@@WatchItPlayed FINALLY got it on the table (a year later). Living in the trailer took a toll. We did not have to use any alternative resources for helium, but I am glad we got to play it. We had a good time and are going to play it again right now!!!
I just got this game with a very good bargain price! Thanks for the tutorial
You're very welcome - have a great time playing!
Nifty game and great video.
Thanks!
I can’t to play this. Thank you Rodney for another fantastic video
Thanks Gunner!
Thanks for the tutorial, made playing very easy.
Ah, so nice to hear - I hope you have a good time playing!
@@WatchItPlayed we did! I’m impressed with the replay value; every game is very different.
Thank you for giving me a rundown of this game!
You're very welcome Rook!
Amazing video as the game is very innovative n creative too very colourful n your shirt 👕 worn is perfect for explaining this game as it matches the theme 😁👍
This was a tricky one to match - thank you :)
Thank’s for subtitles in italian 👍🇮🇹
We were very happy to have these submitted for our Italian viewers!
Is anyone talking about the box twirl to catching and presenting right side up!!
Well done good sir, well done.
Thank you kindly :)
Very cool looking game. I really like the art on the cards and the components, and it seems like one of those games that’s easy to teach but difficult to master.
The artist (Jacqui Davis) is one of my favs in the hobby.
I've been thinking a great charity event raffle would be the chance to play Rodney in a virtual table top match. Be it zoom, tabletopia, table sim etc.
A+ Balloon gag. 10/10
I'm here for the solo rules!
Uh-oh...
Ooh, new lens or camera? Great depth of field!
For a few videos now, but relatively new - glad you like it!
Pretty cool, seems like a high production board game version of Fantasy Realms
Nope. There are many differences. Especially end game trigger conditions. There is a deploy ability of every single card as well. And finally, you can banish cards. Quite different from Fantasy Realms to be a version only, right?
The creators at Stonemaier have actually referenced that Fantasy Realms was their primary inspiration! Here's a link to their designer diary - stonemaiergames.com/games/red-rising/design-diary/
It is one of the sources of inspiration!
It's like hundred times that I have said this was good so I say it again 👍
It is appreciated every time - so thank you!
Semi-serious question: Is Rodney so good at the box flip and catching it right side up that he always does it in one take?
He’s THAT good. Not sure why, but it wont let me paste a UA-cam link. Search “Watch It Played Box Flip” and it should come right up. Enjoy!
ua-cam.com/video/9WXTNh3fsM0/v-deo.html
Probably an instant buy for me. But I do wonder about the scoring. I love it, but I think it will be a bit to dynamic for some players. Point salad + very dynamic scoring with the cards is quite a lot.
Yes, lots of ways to manipulate scoring!
Thanks for the great video as always Rodney. Any chance you might start letting us know when the publisher expects the game to be available for the public to buy? I always get sad when I watch your videos, head over to either my LBGS or my online retailer and they say "I've never heard of that game". Thanks for all you do,
You can order the Collector's Edition on March 3. No date yet for retail edition, but at least several weeks later.
It's not something I'm in the habit of doing, and frankly could end up out of date (or not apply to all regions, etc). This part I've been leaving to the viewers to find out for their regions.
2:03. Did you just draw 5 cards without looking at the deck? I see you
*bows*
Suitable replacement :D
The suitable replacement was comedic *gold.* #punintended #seewhatididthere
Lots of hype! Thanks for the video!
Glad you enjoyed Aba!
"That's the setup". - I missed hearing you say that.
me too.
Don't want you to take it for granted ;)
I purchased this game today and put it through its paces.
A lot of the strategy comes from building up the final "reveal". You're trying to work up to a hand state where the cards' bonuses synergize with each other as much as possible.
You can also do things like draining Luna of cards so that your opponent will have a difficult time taking the sovereign from you.
Another thing we've found is that pushing to end game before your opponent is ready is ridiculously punishing in this game. You can place yourself in a position where it looks like you've still got three things to do to trigger end game, so your opponent is counting on three turns... Except you play a card that gives you two favor, then use your bonus to get the last helium you need, triggering end game while they're holding a dead hand... Or worse yet, their hand is full of penalties they were counting on resolving.
Is it a deep game? No, admittedly it isn't. That's not to say it's a boring game... There's definitely more than enough here to keep board gamers of all experiences entertained and even playing with one another. Plus the price point makes it a very low risk buy.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Will be interested to see how your opinions evolve (if they do) over a few more sessions.
Did you have fun learning to play this one? It seems a bit clinical but I do like the board management piece
Hey Donald, thanks for the interest. I tend to avoid giving personalized review comments on the games I feature. What I like someone else might not - I prefer to show the game as it is, and hopefully that can help you decide whether or not it looks like something that might suit your tastes.
Jeez, this looks amazing. How have I not heard of this game?
Just recently announced - thanks for checking out the video :)
@@WatchItPlayed Of course! You know I click automatically when I see a new vid!
I read Red Rising a while ago, but never finished the trilogy. Jamey Stegmaier may have just convinced me to do so... sooner rather than later. 😊 Great video, as always, Rodney.
Thanks for the kind comment!
Thank you Rodney!! I was curious to see how this played. You did a great job as always with teaching, so I feel comfortable with buying this :)
Thanks for checking it out Justin!
Brilliant How to as always and brilliant looking game
Cheers!
What did you find the average range of end-game scores to be? What would you consider average, below-average, and above-average based on the games you played?
Hey Daniel, I avoid trying to make those assessments for other people. I prefer to stick to teaching the rules.
Rodney, thank your this video. I got this game a while back and am ready to star playing. This video was well done but I do have a question about the 4D painter card you were describing at around 8:12 on. You said that you would collect the bonus of the original deploy location. You played it at Jupiter, then moved it over to the yellow section. And then he said about picking it up and putting it in your hand if you want to., And then you collected the bonus from the yellow section. Wouldnt you have gotten it from Jupiter since that was your original deploy location? Just wondering, trying to get the details down. Thanks so much!
Hi Eric, I think I see the point of confusion. You gain the bonus from the location that you collect a card from. ua-cam.com/video/NqfSYn0-_00/v-deo.html
The importance of understanding that Jupiter is where I originally deployed to in the example of 8:12, is so that it's clear that the column I take "from", can't be Jupiter (as that was the original column I deployed it "to"). Let me know if that clears it up.
@@WatchItPlayed got it, makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up!
Cannot wait to get this game! Haven't read the books though so we might have to pick them up out of pure anticipation for the game
I hadn't heard of the series before hearing about this game!
Great video Rodney! I have an extremely niche question as a person who read the books: is the character Pax Au Telemanus available as a playable card?
Yes he is :)
PAX AU TELEMANUS!!!
Sorry for my VERY delayed reply, but glad others helped with the answer!
For scoring it is -10 for each card in hand over 7... Do the extra cards still score normally?
They do! So, if a card is worth 15 points, it's still getting you 15 points. You're just also getting negative points for having more than 7 cards. You're not actually paying attention to which are the "extra" cards during scoring.
Thanks Rodney - I wasn’t sure abt the game initially because I know nothing about the books but now I’m sold! I do have one question - say a card is worth 12 points and it also states 14 points if it’s with a blue card, is that an additional 14 points (so 26 pts in total)? Or just 14 pts in total?
That's an additional 14 points.
Thanks so much for coming back to me. That’s quite a bonus!
The example in 9:35 of the block ability card: Rodney says after revealing it to perform the block effect it's returned to your hand. I'm assuming in the case of the card in the example that isn't true? Because it says after revealing it you must banish it for the effect to take place. So in order to block you would banish that blocking card. Is that correct?
Correct!
Really big like for this episode (not) suitable replacement xD
8:50 - you still use the deploy ability of the second deployed card, right?
Sure do - you'll find that explained here: ua-cam.com/video/NqfSYn0-_00/v-deo.html
You didn't mention scoring the helium....hehe.
I did: 14:22
Would you recommend this game for new board game players? It looks simple in mechanics but extremely complex when it comes to scoring.
I would hope a scoring app was made for this game... It is similar to a game called Fantasy Realms which let's input your cards and calculate for you
The scoring won't be as complex as it looks. You're just adding up a few categories and most of the cards end up with numbers ending in 5 or 0, so they're easy to add up.
Hey, thanks for the interest. I tend to avoid giving personalized recommendations. What I like, someone else might not. What might be suitable for one new board game, might be too complex for another, but hopefully the video can help you make an assessment based on the person you're thinking of.
