Despite the absurd size, I absolutely love this game. I've played it 3 times in the past 2 weeks and I am addicted to it. I don't think this'll ever leave my collection
I didn't want this game until this playthrough.
THANKS BOARDGAMECO!!! 😠
Thank you for introducing me to a game I didn't know existed. I jump on the creaters website and snagged a copy for myself. Can't wait to get my hands on it
Excited to receive my copy!
This video made me buy the Emperor's Pledge w/ sundrop. I'm not sure whether to thank you or curse you. ;-) Thanks for the continued great work and showing me that this game play + table presence + theme does actually seem worth the price to me. It's just a super duper expensive Father's Day gift.
I think the only thing you forgot at end of game scoring was to add on the income value to your scores which bring your wife's score too 101 and bump yours up to 120.
Such a great game. So glad I backed it.
It's excellent, very mean and tight
i can't wait for my copy , looks gorgeous with that sundrop minis brother !!!
Wow glad I caught your playthrough. Went to AW’s site right away and bought the sundrop version; there were only 25 copies left! Shipping on May 25th, can’t wait. This looks awesome.
Enjoy!
I bought mine from Game Steward. $19 more for Emperor not painted, with free shipping. No sundrop left.
Are there markers for spaces on the grid whose deeds are up for sale? It would be easier to see which are the spaces up for grabs.
Played this solo, 2P and 5P; played with monuments expansion and invocations module so far. It looks beautiful, the gameplay is very satisfying with quick but meaningful decisions on each turn, and for our first 5P game finishing under 1.5 hours while also giving everyone at the table an enjoyable experience means this game will never leave the collection. Looking forward to drafting deeds, objectives module, trading and stealing module, player roles module and even the cooperative module. Plenty of variability here to keep this game consistently at the table.
how was the solo experience compared to multiplayer?
@@pietroviske solo was okay, definitely not as good as multiplayer. I am not an avid solo gamer though. I would definitely play solo again if I can’t get FoR to table much with others as it worked and was enjoyable. Multiplayer is where it is at though.
It was only at the end that I figured out it's like a version of _Cathedral_ with a more complicated scoring mechanism that costs $300. Sure is pretty though.
Having played cathedral, I can easily say this is so so so much better.
I just love the thumbnail image (or whatever it's called), juts Love it.
Thanks for your play through. Although the price is very high for the game you get (not the production but the gameplay), but I'll still order this. Can't not have those building minis.
Pro tip: split the bank into two piles, so each of you has a bank. Less waiting on the other player to get/give your money. :) But regardless, love your videos and am so mad i missed this KS!
Smart :)
Shouldn't the monument also affect the take income amount and the end of turn income?
It was not added for both end of turn 2 and take income during round 3
Played first not on TTS game yesterday! It's so good still and such a table presence! I just want to show everybody how pretty it is lol and absurdly large as well 😂
Don't forget you get 1 point for every remaining lot marker on the board
Totally forgot about the one points!
This game is visually beautiful! Have you played the solo mode?
What did you change with your camera? This video has a really nice warmth and depth to its appearance.
Also I may have missed it but I believe you score a point for the land ownership markers on the board too.
Good catch!
The shared grid reminds me of Acquire, except that game is half a stock market game. I've heard from the oldheads in my game group that it was made by 3M in the 50's as part of their plastic business.
Which sleeves are you using, and do they fit nicely in the box?
Sleeve kings and yes
@@BoardGameCo which size please? And how many are needed?
This was expensive , especially since I had to bye another shelving unit 😅. But it's never leaving my collection, it might be one of my grave goods! Lol..
This sundrop is nothing like the sundrop on The Great Wall btw. TGW is a proper sundrop, this on Foundations of Rome is really just a regular wash.
So are you scoring based on advanced scoring? When I played we scored based on the population we had, not the person ahead of us. Is that a catch up mechanic or somethin?
Yep, advanced scoring
Where did you get your metal coins from?
They were from top shelf gamer, currently out of stock :(
I just had a chance to play this game on Sunday and I thought it was brilliant… albeit a bit over-produced, of course! 😅 I couldn’t believe the complexity is only a 1.89/5 on BGG based on the look of the game but once I learned the rules that actually seemed fairly accurate! Not sure how much I’d like it at two players (I was playing a five-player game), but I’m sure it still holds up!
The smaller size of the play area at 2 players helps to keep the tension in the game. Also, I'm not sure if the BGG score includes Monuments, Roles, Objectives and Invocations - all of which can be added to the base game.
@@gargk999 We played with the Monuments; that was really fun!
more gameplay videos Alex!
:)
I agree. I enjoyed the gameplay.
Would there be a re-print in our future?
I hope so but not sure
🐐🥁👍
This feels like a beefy, deluxified version of New York 1901, which I only thought was an adequate game. I am not sure how I feel about it.
Not gonna lie, I was hoping the coins would be those chocolate candy coins.
Lol
Would love to hear about reprint campaign some day. :)
You can pre-order a copy from their website and it will ship after the KS backers get their copies.. I did it the emperor pledge and it ships on or before 5/20/22
The reprint is currently on KS in case you weren't aware.
Shalom! What kind of board game table do you have?
Look in the description :)
Great video! How essential is the upgraded version with monuments versus regular? Is the upgraded for $180?
Is there going to be a regular retail version? I thought this was going to be a KS exclusive given the minis.
@@Shoitaan it can be bought at their website
