Glad to see it getting some coverage. This was my first game that introduced me to Euro and economic games and got me into the boars gaming. I had only experience the family hasboro games growing up like risk and sorry before that.
Love this game, thanks for playthrough. FYI, export contracts are only refilled btw rounds and fulfilled contracts are left face up (though I do like reducing the AP that can induce).
Heard so much good stuff from you guys about this game, was pleased to see there was a Game Haus! Keen to play this one. Also VERY keen to see Nick play Gaia Project at last with your BGG Top 100 challenge 😀
Close games are always heartbraking! My favorite type of Haggis, to answer Mike's question, is haggis that someone else is eating, far far away from me. More like gaggis. Thanks for the playthrough! I'd heard of, but never have watched this game played.
Clans of Caledonia is one of my top 3 games! Love it so much ♥️. This game definitely does not get a good amount of buzz for how high it is up the BGG top 100. A lot of that I think is to do with the limited availability of the game... Hopefully they come out with a reprint and expansion at some point so others can see why this game is so amazing (and selfishly so I can get an expansion for this beautiful game)
yeah that's a good point. It is one of those games that feels super underrated despite its high ranking but I think it just may be down to availability. Luckily its on BGA and works great over there so I hope more and more people are finding it!
Just found this game at a board game swap (so lucky!) and I’m watching a few play throughs and have to say, I really like how you two interact with each other. The moment that I really loved was when Nick technically finished his turn and Mike was preparing his turn but Nick wanted to purchase another bread and Mike was totally cool with it. A lot of friends would be hardcore about your turn ending. I’m not saying our group is 100% good on this but we have been trying lately and guess what, we’ve been enjoying our games and times together more. That’s the point right. But to each their own! Cut throat is fun too! Lol
Yeah ya gotta not take stuff too serious is how we treat it. Someone forgets they were gonna do a thing and it won’t bust up my turn too bad, im not gonna punish you for a lapse of concentration. Within reason of course haha
My wife and I love this game. We have put little Velcro circles on all the pieces so that it comes out of the box already set up on the board. The set up was not my favorite for the game. But not it’s not as bad.
@@TheBrothersMurph You guys misled me on this one. This game is so incredibly boring. There's literally nothing fun or exciting about this game. I can see now why you like Rosenberg so much. His stuff is straight-up boring yawn-fests. Clans of Caledonia? More like Yawns of Yawnedonia. Vanilla Carcassonne is way more fun. Love you.
Great playthrough. Not enough accents in my opinion haha. I love a game that ends with a 1 point spread can be heartbreaking or on the other side so thrilling. Much better than ties. Hate ties. Might have to check out the new kickstarter coming
Nice video, I love this game. Also, I really like your Origins game table finish. Question on the table, is it comfortable to rest your arms like that on those cutout trays? Again awesome video!
The little cut outs are long enough to generally rest your arms without too much trouble but it definitely isn't perfect. Overall we'd probably rather it was just all a flat surface as we never use the cutouts to hold anything
I’ve been interested in this game for a WHILE. Thanks for the play through guys! Are you guys going to PAXU this year? Would Love to finally meet and possibly play a game with ya!
Just got my Sat/Sun GenCon tix! Woot woot! Itll be my first time there so im super excited. Are you guys gonna make it this year? If so, i hope I get to finally meet you guys and maybe play a game together. much love from a fellow Cali Kid! :)
Cali Kids represent! At least Nick will be there and depending on how it's going with my young one I hope to have it be my first con back after Paternity leave!
@@TheBrothersMurph omg I didn’t know you had a new addition! Congrats dude! That’s awesome. My wife and I just adopted two siblings just this year. Kids are awesome. ✌️
@@TheBrothersMurph If you do, as a Midlander, I beg you please, please, please find out how to pronounce all the location names properly in advance lol
@@TheBrothersMurph I’m sorry I got confused when Nick was taking 1 money when going to the market and then I realized that his Clan Stewart allowed him to do so. I played this game only once and initially was intimidated by it and then once everyone got the flow of the turns it went really quickly. It is such a gem in a relatively small box. I love the fluctuated prices on the market. Great playthrough!

That asterisk was so well placed. Great game boys.
Had to own up to it.

LOVE this game! Played several times on BGA and finally got a physical copy!
Niiiiiiice

Gaggis…. Yes that is great
Mike: (Irish accent gibberish) ... references Disney's Brave.
I died 🤣, always hilarious fellas loved the playthrough.
Brave, a classically Irish tale...

oh wow going next level with that set up! very cool
You guys have inspired me to get a copy of this game. Reminds me a little of Castles of Burgundy, my favorite, but different enough to be interesting.
It’s so goooooooood

Thanks for the playthrough! How would you say this compares to Gaia project?
Ooh gurl... Look at the size of that asterisk.
It's a biggun for sure. Asterisk the size of the Mooooooooooon
I will always play the MacKenzie(if available).
I’ve been interested in this game for a WHILE. Thanks for the play through guys! Are you guys going to PAXU this year? Would Love to finally meet and possibly play a game with ya!
Barring something happening we should be there! We love Pax U!
Is there a Sutherland Clan Expansion that removes all the poor players in a Highland Clearance mode? :D

Have you guys done Brass Birmingham yet? Or was that one you hadn’t clicked with?
We haven’t done it yet, Nick doesn’t like the game, though Mike does. So maybe we’ll have some guests over so we can get it played
@@TheBrothersMurph If you do, as a Midlander, I beg you please, please, please find out how to pronounce all the location names properly in advance lol
this game looks awesome i dont get why they stopped making it they need to produce it again :(
next year I believe an expansion and reprint is happening wahoo!
I haven’t found anything in the rulebook stating that you gain one money when going to the market.
Did we say that at some point?
