Was looking for a helpful refresher video, having not played Cyclades for a while, and came across your video. Very well done and nicely explained. Thank you!!
Loved your video. Just as long as it needs to be. Clear and easy to follow instructions, structure that flows very well and very efficient presentation. 👌
I'm going to be trying this game tonight. I think your video has taught me the general mechanics quite well. The video was well done, one error was repeated often, strength was incorrectly spelled in several locations, otherwise it was great. I've subscribed.
Thank you for the feedback! I cannot believe I did not notice the error until now 😅. I hope the video helped you! I am considering doing similar videos for the expansions 👀
Hi there, I found this on BGG: When Chimera arrives in the discard pile, whether it has been used, discarded with Zeus, or because no one bought it, you have to re-shuffle the creature deck and the discard pile.
Hello! Thank you for your video - it's a very helpful primer to prep for playing this game tonight. I think you did a great job going over the different gods and and actions available. I felt like your explanation was straightforward and succinct. One thing that would've been helpful for me is circling back to how to build metropolises/win the game after the gameplay explanations. By beginning the video with how to get a metropolis, I didn't have enough context yet of knowing what a temple was or how to get philosophy cards. I had forgotten this near the end, and had to rewatch the opening to figure it out. Thank you!
Thank you for such amazing feedback! Its been hard finding the time to make this videos, but I will try to stay more consistent. I just made a video for the Hades expansion (in Spanish). I will try to make the English version by next weekend. I appreciate your support :)
One question nobody I kkow could conclusively answer is, during the bidding, even with the discount from Zeus cards, can you still only bid so many coins as you have in your supply and get the discount after that or can you effectively bid your max coins + the number of cards you have. e.g. I have 5 coins and 3 Zeus cards, can I bid up to 8 and pay my 5? Or can I still only bid 5 and get the favor for 2?
De donde eres?? Estoy curioso. No he jugado este juego pero lo compré y lo acaba de recibir. Estoy tan feliz a intentar este juego. Muchas gracias por este vídeo porque me a ayudando tanto a hacer más fácil enseñar este juego a mis amigos. Enseńanos por favor los expansions porque se que hacen este juego un poco diferente. Perdón si no escribí todo bien. Aun que se español, se me a olvidado un poquito.
Would you recommend the Hades expansion? I'm not interested in Titans just yet because from what I've read, the Titans expansion adds too much combat. Thanks! And great video!
Thank you for the kind words! You are correct about the Titans expansion. It does focus on the combat. The Hades expansion its a bit more miscellaneous. It adds a bit of combat alternatives, but more importantly, it adds heroes and other mechanisms that will expand your paths to victory. I would recommend Hades for sure. I am considering covering the expansions in future videos. What do you think?
Dados & Amigos YEEEESSS, please! If you search ‘ Cyclades Hades Expansion’ there are hardly any in depth reviews. It would be most welcome. You explain everything thoroughly and concise. 😁
Hi Igor! Thanks for sharing your questions. 1. You cannot buy mythological creatures when you get Apollo’s favor. 2. You cannot save mythological creatures for later. I hope this helps you! -Axel
hi, may i ask how is the bidding process like if it is 2 players? does the first player puts his offering immediately after placing his first player or puts his offering after the 2nd player puts his 1st offering?
Hi Bryan! At the beginning of the game, it would be random. After the first round, it would be according to the order assigned from the previous round (the order in which the chosen gods were resolved). So, there may be times were the same player gets to bid twice in a row. I hope this helps! - Axel
Unfortunately, no. You would have to pay 1 GP for each of those places. Every time you pay the movement is allocated to a single stack of ships, which you can add or drop ships during your movement. I hope this helps 👍

Was struggling understanding this game for a long time but now I can finally play it

Will play cyclades tonight, thanks for this good video.
Thanks for the video. I couldn’t remember how to play it. Watching this video and then reading the rule book will have me ready to teach it tomorrow.
Thank you for the kind words Samuel!
I hope you have a great time playing Cyclades!

Wonderful video. I’m just about to play the game tonight and this has really helped.

Hi D&A, loving the English tutorial videos and I would love to see a video on how to play the two expansions (Hades & Titans) in the future.
Your wish might become true very soon 😉👍
Thanks brother
Very good explanation. Thank you!
Great review
Thank you! 🙂

great job Axel !
Thank you! 😬 Should I continue making tutorials in English? 🤔
Can you do Hades expansion
We have a video for hades expansion!
Did you mean Titans?
-Axel
Had jugado Monuments? Piensas que sería bien introducir este ‘module’ a nuevo jugadores?
Todavía no he tenido la oportunidad de jugar con la expansión de Monuments 😪

Good Job!
Thank you! ☺️
I have a Tutorial for the Hades expansion on the works but I haven’t had enough spare time to finish editing it 😪
Two questions
:
Can I buy mythological creatures if I go to Apollon?
Can I save mythological creatures for later or i must use them immediately?
Hi Igor!
Thanks for sharing your questions.
1. You cannot buy mythological creatures when you get Apollo’s favor.
2. You cannot save mythological creatures for later.
I hope this helps you!

@@dadosyamigos Thanks a lot! It really help me :)

@@dadosyamigos got it, thanks!
Can I use my 3 fleet movements in different places on the board for my 1 GP?
Unfortunately, no. You would have to pay 1 GP for each of those places. Every time you pay the movement is allocated to a single stack of ships, which you can add or drop ships during your movement.
I hope this helps 👍
Thank you.@@dadosyamigos Appreciate the time spent to answer me.
And I subscribed to you.
Awesome!
Thank you for the support ☺️
I feel some important rules are missing, just can´t remeber.
Hate to be that guy, but Greek words get pronounced differently. The game is pronounced "sick-la-deez"
