Many thanks for this, it’s the best rules explanation out there for this under-rated game
Another great playthrough, Jon. I like how you explain not just the rules, but also the strategy behind your decisions, as you play the game. I missed this game when it was on Kickstarter, but it is now on BGA and I love playing this game. Thanks for making it more understandable, as well as enjoyable to play.
Game arrived a few days back and today I finally cld enjoy it with some friends :)
I love watching your vids to learn the rules, you rock!
I was super excited about this kickstarter and tried watching a playthrough of China in preparation for it but couldn't get through it. When I saw your video on the KS page I was super excited, all of your playthroughs are amazingly clear. I'm so pumped for this game!
That's great to here Corey, I hope you enjoy it when you get to try it :)
Such a great playthrough.
Thanks!
Very enjoyable play through!
At first I thought this game is definitely not for me but I always watch all of your videos so I stuck around and by the end I found myself super engaged. Obviously it’s gorgeous but it’s the scoring that is so compelling. When you were able to drop just one tent in the eastern forest and score 5 points for 2nd place I thought that was super cool. It really creates a great tension between putting enough pieces to dominate but not so many to give your opponents free points. Contrasted with other area majority games that just give out a set number of points for 1st then 2nd and so on this seems like a more interesting way to score.
Thanks for the video!
I'm glad you liked this one Josh :) I was wondering while filming if the Yellow player had set that up too well for us, but they had their own reasons for going big in that region and it was nice being able to pick off some efficient points from it.
The, so called, Schact Scoring System is one of the most innovative, compelling, and sadly underrated mechanisms in modern game design.
Your video sold me on this KS. Thank you.
I am sorry, but I missed the point of the symbols in the black circles on the cards. During the game they pretty much mean the same thing as the symboks in the larger, colored circles. Is this some kind of colorblind-friendly thing or something else entirely?
rarewaves - Page 5 of the rule book shows the core, dark and ability runes. They are what you ‘roll” to pass skill checks. The other symbols you are referring to are story icons. If you end the game with two or more of a kind they give you victory points. They are all shown on page 9 of the rules.
I didn’t think I’d like this game, but watching your play-through changed my mind. I worried about Iwari.
This looks like a fun, simple game
At first I thought I will pass on KS, because I thought it will be heavier area-control game, but looking how gorgeous it looks, I could not stop myself of backing it, and watching playthrough, for me it gives more abstract game vibe and I like it is not hair-pulling heavy.
I agree, it definitely has an abstract feel to it overall. I hope you enjoy the game when you finally get it.
Excellent.
Cool looking game. The art is amazing.
Excellent video. Nice to see the complete, well-explained playthrough. My only suggestion would be that Jon not identify with a particular color, since that can be confusing. Best to just refer to "red," "yellow," and "blue."
There's no need for a rule about a 3-card play limit when there's already a 3-card hand limit.
I'd also prefer a 1-2 order: "You can play in 1 area, and you can put up to 2 pieces there."
Nice explanation.
Wondering if you have a playthrough or rule explanation including the different components of the deluxe edition (expedition Cards, Workshio cards, Feats and maybe solo) ?
Thanks. Great work.
Unfortunately no, this is the only video coverage I've done for Iwari.
At 38:10 the second "3" you mention is actually only a 2.
Nice playthrough. I'm confused about when you would use the alternate turn action (discard one and draw one). In your example for the yellow player at 41:01, why not play that card to add a tent in the wind region instead of discarding it? It seems like you would only want to take that action in the rare scenario where you cannot or do not want to play a card?
You have a very good point here. In general I try to showcase all the game's rules during a playthrough and on that turn I thought it was a decent time to do just that. In retrospect you are absolutely right, they should have just played that card and it would have ended up having a real impact on our score if they'd gone to that windy area, in fact it likely would have put them in 2nd place. I think this alternate action is VERY rarely used, and my playthrough goes to show that.
China and Han's scoring differ from Iwari as you mentioned, but Web of Power doesn't score the same as China and Han. Web of Power does score like Iwari. That said, Iwari will have more maps and modules than Web of Power. Iwari is also a pretty gorgeous game.
Huh, well I feel silly for not doing more research. I thought China was just a retheme of Web of Power and I should have confirmed it. Sorry about that!
I'm probably in the minority, but I prefer the graphic design China and Web of Power. The cards look cleaner and more easily identifiable.
These one seem to have too much fluff, but I know that's the sort of thing you need to do to get those Kickstarter dollars.
I’m working on a game design and needed a way to onboard players without them having to know too many rules up front (eg, how do I know which cards to draft without knowing all the implications?) I’m taking inspiration from the Iwari card system. There are 6 colors in my game, and players will start with 3 random cards, each having 2 possible action areas in which they can be used. Will be able to play only 1 color on your turn to do standard action, but can combine 2 cards of same color to do this special action.
It's a nice elegant little game for sure. Problem is I'm the kind of guy who will probably just end up playing 2 player games and area majority games typically do rather poorly at that count unless they were specifically designed for just 2 people.
I believe the deluxe version now has a co-op rules added as a KS stretch goal to offer different playing experience (adding a third AI player - the Void) . So that may change things up a bit.
actually 2p mode is better then 3 player for me.
Watched your VAST play through. Any plans for a a ROOT play through ?
Unfortunately I don't have any plans at the moment. I haven't even had a chance to play the game yet.
The game looks really nice. But I play 2 player most of the time, and area control games with 2 players... They usually don't work very well. It will probably be very fun for 4 players
Carlos Santillana The two player rules for this call for a dummy third player which you can take actions with at the end of your turn if you have unused cards. This might be useful for opening up a region, blocking your opponents settlements, or adding victory points to regions or totems you already control.
During the first scoring phase when you are doing the tent scoring does yellow not also get 4 points for having a group at the top? Or is that only scored during the second scoring phase?
During the first scoring (mid game when the deck runs out the 1st time) you only score tent majorities.
I've watched many of your vids.. And I only just now realized that the "Klingon" subtitles, aren't actually Klingon.. This whole time I was like "why would I turn Klingon subtitles on? I don't even speak it.. Is this a meme/joke? That's so random that he'd put Klingon subtitles on his vids.. Do people even use Klingon subs on UA-cam?" lol...
UA-cam unfortunately doesn't provide us with any built in options for putting notes on screen after the video is published now that they removed annotations. Because of this Rahdo came up with the idea to use Klingon subtitles instead and put corrections there. I believe his thinking was that Klingon is the least "real" of the language options so it would be least likely to put anyone off. I asked him if he was ok with me copying his idea, and he was all for it. Other board game youtubers now use Klingon as well. I REALLY wish youtube would put some sort of "corrections" language in, or a separate tool entirely, but for now this is a workaround that many of us are using.
So you can place a totem from your stack in an explorer area even if you don’t have a tent of your color placed?
Unfortunately its been far too long since I made this video to remember rules clarifications like this, sorry.
@@JonGetsGames No worries. Thanks for even replying. I just bought this game and your video helped a lot. And yes, anyone can place a totem in any explored area so long as they don't go over the totem max capacity.
Looks like you could really screw people over with paying attention to card draws.
Yeah, this is a very interactive game.
@@JonGetsGameslove it
Is there any way to slow this down? The guy talks too fast to follow. It sounds like he's on speed.
You can click the "gear" in the bottom left and slow it down to 0.75 if you'd like. Sorry I'm speaking too fast for you, it's something I'm continuing to work on.
@@JonGetsGames I just worked that out - but then option isn't there when casting in Chrome. I'll watch without casting. It seems like .75 is actually normal speed? Are you speeding the videos up? It seems perfect at 0.75.
@@mikeprice6816 Nope, I don't speed them up. Apparently the people I interact with talk much faster than most other people, I didn't realize this until I started recording myself and got feedback like this.
@@JonGetsGames Well thanks for the video. I didn't mean to seem critical. The 0.75 is working fine for me.
@@mikeprice6816 I'm glad that works, no worries :)
We couldnt reprint Web of Power . But we need more fantasy crap.
I like your high quality videos but you speak a bit too fast for me as non-native speaker. When I watch them at 0.75x speed it's perfect :)
I've been trying to slow down my speaking over the years for these videos, and I'm glad that watching at 0.75 is still a solution that works for you :)
Are you really that quick? Or are your videos accelerated a bit? 🙂
Love your videos, but i do not like this game at all. i think i will give it a miss.
Just wanted to add that you speak way too fast in your videos, and I'm a native English speaker who has studied advanced phonetics. Your enunciation is spot on and you'd be a great auctioneer, but when you describe complicated mechanics it's almost impossible to take in what you say with discernable context. Please take a breath more often and insert maybe a couple shots of board movement or use captions on longer shots. It might also be helpful to use more slide style graphics when describing mechanics that way we can visualize abstract components better. If it makes the videos longer maybe break them up in more sections, like a longer, dedicated mechanics and rules video that stands alone.
English is not my first language and I'm also slightly deaf. I understand everything he says.
I do try to insert good breaks between shots to keep a good rhythm going, I'm sorry to hear you've had trouble with it. I actually talk significantly faster in real life compared to what you see in this video, I genuinely don't think I'd be able to pull off talking slower than I do here while still keeping my train of thought. I am always focusing on talking slower in these videos and it's gotten better over time so perhaps a slow change will make things better as I head into the future.
@@JonGetsGames I do agree with cinnamonbeard and my solution is to turn the playback speed to 0.75.
