Mr Ham, I was just watching this video, and I realized that I've been watching your videos almost all of my board gaming career, and your runthroughs are extremely nostalgic to me. Thanks so much for all you do for the board gaming community, you are truly a gem.
You're review setup is fantastic. I'd love to know how you have all your cameras set up so you can have them at all the angles that you manage them to have.
i've only got 2 cameras... one overhead and one for the greenscreen. i record the overhead camera with OBS and i've set up a bunch of pre-set zooms before i start filming
And if you are interested in how much work it is you may watch the Rhado Ramble videos. But for that you have to head to patreon and support at the Ramble level.
So apparently in this game there are no tile placement rule limitations regarding adjacency of same terrain tiles. For example, you don't have to place forest tiles in adjacency and so forth
Awesome video as always! Only the A, C, E and G spaces get blocked each round, so all of the darker actions remain available unless Cooper blocks them himself. The game is hard enough already, don’t make it harder! :)
Rahdo hmm... card 9 says “Onto each worker space in action sections A, C, E and G on which you have a worker, place the same type worker of the third color from the general supply before you return yours to your worker board.” Am I missing something? Doesn’t seem like his agents care as much about those actions haha
schmerztablette1608 perfect, thanks! I was surprised how much I enjoy this game, so I want to make sure I’m playing correctly. I’m consistently improving, but Cooper still got me on easiest difficulty... so I’m glad to hear it’s not any harder lol
Couldn't you convert 4 resources to a cloth before you moved the stone to storage? Wouldn't that save you one resource, since you didn't have to lose a stone?
Hi Rahdo! Thank you for your runthrough videos; always great to see these because it helps understand them better. Have you considered doing a runthrough for Gem Hens?
I have this strong Voyages of Marco Polo vibes of all those free actions you can and should and will have to remember to use all the time =D. Brain burners
@@thegametrainer9004 There's 8 total cards in the deck. 2 for each 'main' space (B, D, F, H). So if 2 cards have come out, and none of those were H, 2 of the remaining 6 cards are H cards. 2/6 = 33%.
Its not complex, it just has too much shit, board here, board there, cards here, cards there, tokens here, tokens there, more tokens over there..... I feel sorry for the guy who will have to play with the blue tokens on that blue board btw....PASS!
King Xerocole Specifics?... I would say it’s a bit too busy, but aside from the illustrations and iconography it has nice colors. I like the art, it’s just crowded. I can get past the aesthetics, it’s the wooden components (not the cubes) that bother me. Too many different shapes and they’re too big for the small boards.

perfect camera placment on this one and amazing run through as always

correct :)

well the other ones get blocked as well, but only as a result of the player going there, so cooper's 'agents' still get in the way! :)

@@tailz13 You are right, only A, C, E, G are blocked by the 3rd color workers at the end of the round (only if you did them, of course).

@@tailz13 well spotted sir! tbh this runthrough was the first time i'd tried the solo rules, and they work great! :)
Thanks again for another fantastic video! I looked for 15 minutes for my cooper solo cards only to realize they were an add on :(
d'oh, sorry! i should have made that clearer!
53:46 Cooper would get both points not only one, i.e. he gets rid of the second anchor as well.
note added... thanks
This is a BIG .....Table Hog!!!!!!!

yes you can convert from your storage or from lanscape tiles :)
Damn it, I love Rahdo.

not heard of it...

Does those mountain tiles, from 3 levels forward, generate 3 stone / 1 gold or 3 resources of both?
one or the other not both :)
I must have not have understood that correctly, but why did cooper get 3 actions on the 1st turn?
do you mean 3 workers in the first round? that's just the rules, he always has one more worker than the player
Rahdo ah sneaky advantage for the ai lol
56:15. Forgets to put a food cube on the inlet tile
note added... thanks
Sold! Thank you for your run through.
Isn't "islet" pronounced like the word isle? Just wondering :D
tbh i have no idea! i really should have looked it up before i started filming :)
Why was it 33% chance of cooper landing on H?
One of the three shuffled cards put on the top of the deck
He said he knew the first two as they matched the goal cards.

Benjamin Contant thanks! Was just curious!
You had me at dog!
HEY everydody!..
This looks like a Table Hog
Looks interesting but a bit too complex for my taste. I’m sure a lot of other gamers will really like this one.
Its not complex, it just has too much shit, board here, board there, cards here, cards there, tokens here, tokens there, more tokens over there..... I feel sorry for the guy who will have to play with the blue tokens on that blue board btw....PASS!
This game is an aesthetic nightmare.

@@repeataftermeme75 I think you just described it, perfectly.
