My wife and I are new to this game and we've watched your whole video twice. Thank you so much for making it! We both really enjoyed it!
Hi Simon. We're delighted that you and your wife enjoyed the video, and thanks a lot for your lovely comment. This really encourages us to keep making videos! I hope that the video helped you to understand how the game works so you can have fun playing it yourselves. Twilight Struggle is a bit difficult to get your head around but once you do it is a really great game! Let us know if you have any questions about how the game works and we will be happy to get back to you as soon as we can! :)
Bought this game almost 10 years ago, but didn't get to play it often since most board games nights have more than 2 people. Brought this out after the pandemic lockdowns recently and played it again. Thanks for this walk through because it helped with clearing up mistakes we made in our game.
That's great Rob. We're delighted our video was able to help you out. Twilight Struggle is a big game, and as you say, since it is only 2-player it can be difficult to get it to the table, but when you do it is a great experience!
Hey guys just discovered this channel. Love your production value. With all the different camera angles and showing the cards you play so people like me who don’t know the game all too well can follow along! Hope to see more of you guys :)
Hi Art! Thank you very much for your comment. We are really delighted to hear that you enjoy our videos. We do our best to make the game clear so that you guys can follow what is going on and we really love to hear that it is working for you. We appreciate your kind words.
Both of you did a great job on this video; the production value is quite good for just starting your channel. I subscribed and look forward to more. It is also quite apparent that both of you really enjoy each other's company as well as the game and that I can see the love and care between both of you. That's also what makes this video so nice to see. Best of luck in your new channel.
Thank you very much NC G! We really appreciate your comment. We have a lot of great games coming up in 2021 so we hope you will enjoy them too. Have a great New Year!
There it is! One of my all-time favourite games. I'm always so impressed by how quickly you learn games and how few mistakes you do. You're also always so evenly matched, and to really enjoy this game I believe you need to have close to the same level of experience. The production was very good as usual and it was easy to follow your actions.
Now, tell me honestly, since you are so even, doesn't it feel just a little more important to get that win....?
Hi SIrbrastias! Haha... yeah, I guess you have been waiting for this one since you spotted it sitting on our shelf. Twilight Struggle is pretty tough, and intense but what a great game! I can see why you love it! The levels of complexity are mind-boggling, and it is as important to manage the cards that favour your opponent as it is to play your own at the right timing. You constantly have to be keeping an eye on every region on the board, and it is often a tough decision whether to use your cards for the event or for the Ops. The history of the Cold War jumps out at you and especially during the late war I find myself going "Ooooohhh, I remember that!".
Yeah, getting the win when we are so even is pretty big for us, especially in a game as strategic as this. Actually we are both very competitive and this week I have been kind of moping around whereas Glai has an extra spring in her step! lol I'll have to try harder to restore proper order for this week's game (though Glai has a different idea of what "proper order" is!).
Another outstanding playthrough! Congratulations to Glai on her close victory. Glai's effort in turning the Middle East was the key to victory. Pat certainly got excellent mileage out of the Red Scare and Norad cards... I felt sorry for Glai when Pat repeatedly cancelled her cards during the Headline Phase. All in all another great playthrough of a great game. Both of you have built a very entertaining channel, and it has become one of my favorites. Thanks to both of you.
Hi Keith. Thanks a lot for your very kind comment. It means a lot to us to hear that we are one of your favourite channels! What a nice compliment! We're delighted that you enjoyed the video.
Yeah, Twilight Struggle is a very aggressive game and I felt bad for Glai when I played Defectors to cancel her headline, and the Red Scare/Purge 3 times to reduce her Ops! In fairness, she knew that there was a possibility of a Defectors so she didn't always headline her best card. The Muslim Revolution was huge for her in the Middle East. Between that and Nasser, it is a very difficult region for the US... Norad is fantastic though - as long as you have an influence in USSR controlled countries, you can stick in a free influence which is a great help in breaking control, especially if the stability number is high. All in all, it's a brilliant game!
Looks like a great game. Thanks guys.
Thanks man. It's a tough but fantastic game!
Great job!
Thank you Cid!
Loved this play-through and you have one new subscriber, thanks!
Hello there Luggage! Really glad you liked the playthrough, and thanks a lot for the sub. I'm also a big Pratchett fan and love the luggage! Great stuff!
@@AllAboardBoardgames I just saw Discworld books in the background on one video 🤓 Keep up the great playthroughs!
@@the_luggage Thanks a lot! We'll keep plugging away at them. :-)
I own this game, but have never played it. How nice of you to do this playthrough!
Thanks jankogo. This is a pretty complicated game and it is quite long so it can be difficult to get it to the table, but it is a lot of fun when you do. Let us know when you get to try it out!
Great video. I really want to play this game. Reminds me very much of 1960, the game where you run for president as Nixon or Kennedy.
Thanks Doc Savage! Twilight Struggle is a very deep game, with a lot of subtle nuances. I really recommend giving it a go if you get a chance. We haven't played 1960, but sounds pretty interesting. Thanks for your comment!
Cool to watch!
Great! Glad that you enjoyed it!
What a strategy game this is... ❤️
Well done video and gameplay even without explaining the rules.
Enjoy games. 👍😎
Hi Χρυσαυγος Αριστεράς! Yeah, this game is very deep with a lot of heavy strategy. It is a lot of fun, but your brain will be tired by the end of it!! This video was made back before we started explaining the rules as we thought there were already a lot of tutorial channels out there but now we explain how it works to make it easier for people to follow the games. Thanks for your comment!
Hi! I just discovered your channel and I really like how simple and straightforward your presentation is. I believe the camera shifts and angles are challenging setups but you guys did this fairly well (or maybe it is easy? Dunno really, lol). But my thanks as I'm learning this game to play with my father on his birthday. Thanks!
Also, I'm kind of new to board gaming but I never thought that those dice tower like are for that purpose, lol, will have to get one soon 😅.
Hello there Pop Gas! We're really glad you enjoyed our video! It's great that the video was able to help you to see how this game works. I'm sure you and your father will have a great time with Twilight Struggle. There are certainly a lot of rules, but it is a very deep game and also great to play cards with the major events from the Cold War.
The dice tower is good for keeping the dice from flying all over the place.
Welcome to the boardgaming hobby! You certainly picked a tough game to start off with but we really like Twilight Struggle. Please let us know how the birthday game goes! Have you been playing any other board games?
@@AllAboardBoardgames Hey thanks! I'm positive it'll be a memorable time with my father. This isn't rwally my first game but 2022 is my first year of delving into this hobby. Yes, TS is indeed very deep and I first heard it from Sung Won aka ProZD who is known for voice acting and skits, who is also really into board games (he is actually my first inspiration for picking up board games). I had a bunch in my shelf for a while first being Sushi Go Party, then Dixit, Poitlnt Salad, Ticket to Ride, Cabo, Space Base then my first love: Everdell. Then I went straight to heavy ones like On Mars (😂 yeah that was a monster of a game, but so worth it to learn), Kanban EV, Lisboa, Barrage, Age of Steam, Root and my latest: Twilight Struggle.
PS, the close up of cards in your videos are really helpful. Forgot to mention that. Very slick and great of a help. Thanks again! 😊
@@popgas3821 Wow! That was a big jump to heavier games! Everdell is also surprisingly deep for such a cute game. I'm a big fan of it too. We haven't had the chance to play On Mars, but it has been on my radar for a while now so I am sure we will get around to it at some stage.
We're glad that the close up of the cards is helpful to you. Cards are so important to so many games, so we thought that it would be helpful to pop them out so you guys could see them clearly and hopefully make it easier to follow what is going on in the game.
Please let us know how you get on when you get to play Twilight Struggle with your father. I hope he likes it! Cheers!
@@AllAboardBoardgames Yed the card close up really helps. Yes, my Dad’s birthday is drawing near 😁 (Aug 29) and I’m so pumped to play this with him already. Everdell is indeed dense for such a cute game. They did really well with the production value.
On Mars was such a huge jump, but in all honesty it is subjectively my no. 1 game so far. But downside is it’s super difficult to bring to the table. I think it’ll be worth of a try for the two of you! I mean I love the chemistry between you Pat and Glai and near the late war part things are getting intense. On Mars is actually really intense in 2p mode. Very thinky and confrontational. Euro down to the very core.
I’ll share my TS experience with my Dad soon 🥰. On the other hand, keep this channel up please. Thanks!🙏
@@popgas3821 In our earlier games, we often didn't even get to the late war, but after playing a few times we got a bit better at it. Twilight Struggle is best when both players are of similar level, because as you get more familiar with the cards and mechanics, you get better at it and so it is easier to run away with it. Would definitely like to try On Mars. We like heavy Euros very much. Have you tried Terraforming Mars? That is one of our favourites!
Thanks a lot - we'll keep the channel going and keep trying to make the best videos we can!
I'm halfway through your playthrough and already ordered a copy... It's the first time I came across your content and your playthrough is very entertaining and with a great production. One question I have is why aren't you using realignments? Is it a bad strategy compared to coups or just placing influence?
Hi Alexandre. Thanks a lot for your comment. It's great to hear that you are enjoying the video. Realignments can be great, especially if you have control of the countries around the one you want to realign, but it also carries the danger of getting a bad roll and losing influence yourself. But, there certainly are situations where realigning would be worth doing. Hope you enjoy the game when you get your hands on it!
I just bought this. Not played yet. Soon. Thank you for the playthrough. It helps a lot. I'm curious. What card sleeves did you use?
Hi Trevor. Thanks for watching. Really glad that our video helped you. We used card sleeves of a brand called Epoch, and they are 66x92mm for card size 64x89mm.
Hi there - thanks for this! I just got this game so am finding this walk through really useful! Quick question - does the 'Brush War' played around the 53min mark result in defcon going down and miliary ops increasing? I thought this happened just for coups but am not sure!! THanks for the help and the video!
Hi Richard, we're delighted that our playthrough was useful to you. Twilight Struggle is a great game and I'm sure you will have many fun hours with it!
The Brush War ( 55:10 ) is not a coup so the Defcon level should not have been affected. Well spotted and sorry about that - that was a slip up by me. However, the card itself does allow you to gain 3 Military Ops.
Let us know if you have any other questions!
@@AllAboardBoardgames Thanks for this! If I have other general questions - am I okay to post here or do you recommend elsewhere? Thanks again - really appreciate it!
@@richardcunningham5188 No problem Richard. Yes, you can just post here and I will get back to you as soon as I can! I'm looking forward to see how get on when you play. Please let us know!
Final scoring. Poland gets US an extra VP, so... ❤
Oh wow! You are absolutely correct. So it should have been a draw! Great spot and thank you for letting us know. I have made a note in the Klingon subtitles. Hope you enjoyed the playthrough!
@@AllAboardBoardgames i did, very much. Thank you :)
@@EurojuegosBsAs That is great to hear. Thanks a lot for your comment! :-)
One question please. I've only had the latest edition of this board game for a few days and I've noticed that one of the two 6 Soviet tiles/markers has the number 6 on the front, but a 5 on the back. There are also two 6 tiles for the USA tiles, but both have a 6 on the front and back. Is this normal or is it a printing error?
Hello there. I am not sure but it does indeed sound like a printing error. It might be worth posting your question on the Twilight Struggle forum on BGG or the boardgame group on Reddit to confirm though.
Hello. Thank you for the video. I'm just learning how to play this game and it was very helpful. Question : I'm at 1h22min into the playthrough, and none of you guys have played any realignment yet. Is there a particular reason ? Are coups just a better use of OPs ?
Hello there. Thanks for watching our video. Really glad to hear that it was helpful to your learning of the game. As regards Realignments vs Coups, Realignments just remove influence and never add any. You can also lose your own influence in the target country so it can be a bit dangerous. Coups are a bit less of a risk. Realignments can sometimes be good though because they do not affect the DEFCON level. In general we prefer to use Coups though.
@@AllAboardBoardgames Understood. Thank you !
@@Piteurche421 You are more than welcome. How is the learning coming along?
@@AllAboardBoardgames Pretty well, I think. I guess the first game will be a bit rocky, but the rules are overall pretty consistent and logical (if you don't have to deal with an awful translation, as the one in French). I just hope I haven't forgotten it all by then :)
@@Piteurche421 Once you start playing and get through a couple of rounds it starts to make more sense I think. There will be things that you have to keep checking from time to time but hopefully it will be smooth enough. Good luck!
I have a question. What version of twilight struggle did you play and also where can I find it? Because I am looking for it but it is hard to find. Also thanks for introducing me to this game. It looks very fun and also best wishes and keep up the great work with the channel 👍
Hi Matthew! Thanks a lot for your comment. We're delighted you like our channel. This is the Deluxe Edition, Sixth Printing. You might be able to pick up a copy of the game on the Board Game Geek market if it is out of stock at your local game store. It is a great game, and very deep, so hope you enjoy! Merry Christmas!
Thank you so much. I just got the game today. Merry Christmas and have a Happy New Years!
@@matthewgodoy7703 Brilliant! Where did you find it in the end? Let us know what you think when you get around to playing it :) A very Happy Near Year to you too!
Thanks for this video I realised we have done the scoring complitely wrong. I thought you need more non-battleground countries also to achieve domination and control but you just need more countries in total. Makes more sense now. Also control is possible to achieve now😅.
Edit: I got the ”at least one non-battleground country” rule but forgot to mention it in the comment.
Hi Dalf Gan! No, as you say, you just need more battleground countries, and more countries in total, but you also must have at least one non-battleground country for Domination and Control. Glad that our video was able to help you. Let us know how you get on next time you play!
@@AllAboardBoardgames Oh so you do need one non-battleground also for control because rules say that only in domination section. There is no mention of the ”at least one non-battleground country” rule in control section but I guess its typo.
@@dalfgan817 Apologies, I was wrong. You get Control of a Region if you Control more countries in that Region than your opponent, and you also must Control all of the Battleground countries in that Region. You do not necessarily need to have a non-battleground country for Control, just Domination.
@@AllAboardBoardgames Thanks for the answers and clearification of the rules😄
@@dalfgan817 No problem! Feel free to ask any time!
Great video Pat and Glai! I'm trying to understand the rules well enough to teach and I think this video has been the best for me so far.
42:32 I don't think the Salt Negotiations modifier was added (-1) to Pat's coup in Nicaragua.
53:40 Is Camp David Accords out or just discarded because of Bear Trap?
Other than that I didn't notice other possible issues.
Keep up the videos!
Hi Momo. Thank you for your comment. You are absolutely correct about the Salt Negotiations. We overlooked the modifier there, and as you say the -1 should have been applied. Camp David Accords is just discarded, so although we said "out of the game" we meant to say "discarded", though the card was added to the discard pile.
Thanks a lot for the compliment, and we are delighted that our video was helpful to you. There are a lot of rules, but once you start playing you will get into the swing of it fairly quickly. It's very strategic and a lot of fun, and I'm sure you will enjoy playing it!
Thank you two so much for creating this playthrough. I'm just learning the game, and your work has benefited me tremendously.
That said, I've got a question...
At the 50:48 mark, the USA player indicates that he's adding an additional 1-point of influence in the Philippines, and replaces the marker there with a blue, face-up control marker.
However, the USSR player intervenes, points at the Philippines stability value, a 2, indicates that the USA doesn't control the country, and flips the marker back to it's white side. At that point, the USA player appears to agree.
Could someone please explain exactly what occurred in this situation, as it appeared that adding a second influence marker to the Philippines actually DID give the USA control? :)
Hi John. We're glad our playthrough is helping you to learn the game. Twilight Struggle can be a bit complicated but it is an amazing game. As regards your question, sorry for the confusion but that was a mistake. The USA had 1 influence in the Philippines, so adding a second one would indeed have given 2 influence, and therefore control of the country. I have made a note in the Klingon subtitles but thank you for pointing it out to us.
@@AllAboardBoardgames thanks for letting me know. As mentioned, I'm just learning and I thought I might have misinterpreted the rules, misunderstood a card that was played, or something similar.
The video is a marvelous teaching/learning aid. I sat down with the rules and watched your game over and over, until I understood exactly what you were doing and how the processes play out.
Thanks again!
@@johnmorris2259 No, you were spot on! Actually, back when we made that video we were not explaining rules - just playing, so unfortunately we didn't explain what was happening throughout the game like we do now. But glad that it is helping you learn anyway. I think it's easier to understand when you can see the game in action. It's a good idea too to set up the game yourself and play a few practice rounds, referring to the rulebook when you have questions, and feel free to ask here at any time if there is something you don't understand and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!
@@AllAboardBoardgames that's very generous of you.🙂 Will defo keep AAB in mind when I find myself struggling!
Well, for the scoring cards, should not be the presence a wash? I mean, it will score for both side and get balanced out. So, basically in the first round Asia scoring should be 8 for USSR and for Europe scoring, it should be 8 for USA, right?
Hi Koushami. For the scoring you can only score for Control, Domination OR Presence. Of course if you have Domination, then you also have Presence, but you only score for the highest level that you have. So, in the case of the Asia Scoring, Glai had Domination which gave her 7 points. She does not also score for having Presence. Then she also scored for her Battleground country (North Korea) and gets 1 point for that. Pat only had Presence, so he gets 3 points (for Australia). That gives Glai +5 points.
As regards Europe, Pat had Domination worth 7 points + 3 battlegrounds bringing him up to 10. Once again, he does not also score for Presence. Glai had Presence worth 3 points + 2 battlegrounds for a total of 5 points. That gives Pat a +5 on this one.
If someone controls a region it cost 2 influence to break there hold (3:00) it then goes back to costing one
Hi Wayne. Thanks for your comment. Glai was able to break my control of West Germany because of the Cambridge Five card played at 2:39. She was able to add an influence anywhere in Europe because I had the European Scoring card. If she had been playing a card for the Ops value and using it to place influence, then she would indeed have had to pay 2 influence to break control.
Oh ok sorry my bad 🤦♂️..Great play through enjoyed watching 👍
@@waynereilly2585 No worries. I'm glad I was able to clarify the rule.
Thanks a lot for the compliment. We're really delighted that you enjoyed the playthrough. What kind of games do you normally play Wayne?
Hi sorry for the late reply. But I've been playing alot of solo games because of covid..mage Knight. This war of mine. Uboot. Robinson crusoe things like that. But I'm just getting my 8 year old son into games we play exploding kittens and bears vs babies alot lol
@@waynereilly2585 Yeah, Covid has really ruined board game gatherings. Hopefully we can get back to some kind of normality before too long. This War of Mine sounds really great. I have heard it is very stressful thematically with some of the decisions you have to make to leave people to die, etc. I'd like to play it at some stage! Mage Knight looks very cool too and I think we will get around to making a video of Robinson Crusoe at some stage. I have heard great things about it. It's great that you can play some games with your son! It can be a lot of fun for him, and great for his mind development as well as being fun for you playing with him!
Hi! Thanks for the video, it was really helpful, I have a question, though. At 2:12:54 why did Pat became dominant in South America? Pat controlls 2 BG countries and Glai controlls only one. That's clear. But Pat and Glai both control only 1 normal country each. So Pat is not dominant in SA, because he does not control more normal countries than his opponent. Am is missing something? In order to be dominent in a region you have to control more BG countries AND more normal countries, right? Thanks in advance!
Hi Dávid. We're very happy to hear that our video was helpful to you. As regards your question, Domination is when you control more countries and more Battleground countries than your opponent, and you must control at least 1 non-Battleground country and at least 1 Battleground country. When it is stated that you must control "more countries", this means the total number of countries (Battleground and non-Battleground) that you control in the region. In this case, Pat controls 3 countries (2 Battleground and 1 non-Battleground) to Glai's 2 countries (1 Battleground and 1-non Battleground). You do not necessarily have to control more non-Battleground countries as long as you control at least 1 of them.
If you have any other questions please feel free to ask!
@@AllAboardBoardgames Thank you very much! Unfortunately, I have the most recent print, and GMT changed the rules: the publisher "cut out" sentences from the original rulebook, so it became shorter but in my opinion it is not as clear as the previes versions. I have another question, if You don't mind: at 2:11:18 Pat counts the EU points, but I think he made a mistake, he would have got one extra point, because Poland is a BG country and it is next to to USSR so it worths 2 points. Am I right? So just for clarification: Domination → You control more countries than your opponent and MORE BG countries than your opponent(but you have to control at least 1 of each types of countries). Control → You control ALL of the BG countries, AND you control MORE normal countries than your opponent. Is it right? Thanks again!
@@davidvenyercsan8424 It is a shame that they cut out sentences if it is going to make the game unclear. There are quite a few rules in Twilight Struggle to get your head around, so I'm sorry to hear that the new rulebook is not as easy to understand.
Yes Dávid, you are absolutely correct about Poland, and we missed that one in our scoring. I (Pat) should have gotten an extra point because Poland is adjacent to the USSR.
You are correct about Domination → You control more countries than your opponent and MORE BG countries than your opponent(but you have to control at least 1 of each types of countries).
Control is a little bit different → you have to control more countries in the Region that your opponent and you must control ALL of the BG countries. You do not necessarily need to control any of the non-BG countries to get control.
As for the Asia scoring, to get Domination one of us would have had to have had more BG countries than the other so there was no need to count the non-BG countries.
@@AllAboardBoardgames Thank you very much you were really helpful! :)
@@davidvenyercsan8424 You're very welcome!
I like ussr in game
The USSR certainly seems to have the advantage, especially during the Early and Mid War! Thanks for your comment Ilia.
Was the 1 op not used of the lone gunman from the headline of turn 6? Was there a reason for it?
You are absolutely right Dennis. Glai forgot to use the 1 Op. I have made a note in the Klingon subtitles. Thanks for letting us know.
For the experts: is it possible to have a reshuffle in turn 9?
I believe that it is possible, yes, but not so common (though I am not an expert!).
Do you guys think the game has “durability”? Like it can be played several times without losing much fun? (Asking that because the game is quite expensive in my country lol)
Hi there. Twilight Struggle is a very deep game. It is quite long, and it is very heavy, so we find that it can be difficult to get it to the table. However, if you are the kind of person who plays heavy games, and you have someone who is also interested in them, then I would say that the game is very replayable. You will see most of the cards each time you play, but the different orders in which they come out affect the board in different ways. You have a lot of choices each turn so every time you play will be different. I hope this helps!
@@AllAboardBoardgames Aah thanks, i bought the game. I like to modify board games though, so my game will have double the cards lol. 💪
@@gatunohej2965 Very good! That will also add to the replay value for you I am sure.
I am confused - in the first headline phase, Pat plays a 4 ops card, and Glai plays a 2 ops card. So why does Glai go first in that round? I thought the ops value of a card in the headline phase determined which player goes first during that turn.
Hi Matthew. No, the ops value of the card does not determine which player goes first apart from in the headline phase. The USSR player always goes first. The ops value would decide which headline event would happen first but since my (Pat) card was a continuous effect for the round it was not relevant this time. Hope this helps!
@@AllAboardBoardgames Thank you, that makes sense, and I appreciate your prompt response, as I'm here with my opponent, both of us big Watergate fans but new to TS!
@@matthewbarker9134 Hope you had a great game Matthew! We actually haven't played Watergate but would like to give it a go!
What was the thing you rolled the dice?
Hello. That is called a Dice Tower. It is just a neater way to roll the dice so it doesn't fly across the board.
Thanks but where i can find that?
@@catgamer3026 No worries. I just put a link in the description where you can get it from Amazon.
3:50 why it is minus 4 not minus 3?
Hello there. To resolve a Coup attempt, you roll a die and add the Ops points on the card to it. Then you multiply the Stability Number of the target country by 2. In this case, Italy has a Stability Value of 2, so 2 x 2 = 4. If the modified die roll is greater than the doubled stability number, the coup is successful, otherwise it fails. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching.
@@AllAboardBoardgames oh thank you very much for quick reply! Just bought the game, decided to go for your video instead of reading the rules book 😊
@@Averageeveydayuser You're more than welcome. Hope you have fun playing the game. We made this video in the early days of our channel and that was before we were explaining all of the rules, but hopefully you will be able to see how the game works in action. There is a lot to take in, but when you get started the game runs pretty smoothly. Thanks for your comment!
South America should have scored 5 instead of 3. Cuba and Mexico are neighboring the US.
Hi Dennis. Can you please let me know the timecode of where you are referring to?
@@AllAboardBoardgames 1:12:20
ehhhh Central America sorry 🙂
@@dennisboon6651 Oh yes! You are right there too. Thanks for letting us know. I have updated the Klingon subtitles with the error.
Great job on the videos. Particularly on these hidden information games, you might consider inter cutting the player confessional footage, instead of adding it all to the end. I think that would elevate the content.
Kai Fuller, thank you for your advice. We will consider inter-cutting the player comments, but one thing that we would be a bit concerned about is that we do not want to interrupt the flow of the game. We like our viewers to be able to follow the game clearly and formulate their own strategies as the game goes on, in an attempt to make our videos more inclusive. That is why, at the end we just try to give a taste of what we were thinking or trying to do during the game. We always appreciate feedback and advice so thanks for your comment!
lmao why are the captions klingon
Lol - we use Klingon subtitles to add notes to the video after it has been released in case we or our viewers spot any mistakes. :-)
Cambridge five cannot be played as an event in late war. Waste of ops indeed 😒
You are correct again. Thanks for telling us. I have put a note in the Klingon subtitles for this too.
I appreciated your video, but you had a ringing and buzzing in the background.
Sorry about that. This was one of our earlier videos before we realised that fans and air conditioners make a lot of noise that the mics pick up. I hope it didn't ruin it too much for you.
