Great vid, Paul. Another game (both boxes) ordered after watching one of your videos. That makes it... Calculating.... My wife says too many... Recalculating... A great use of my time. Cheers!
Hi Paul, watched both videos after the fact: very impressed how well you managed to show off these games. When the rulebook was released I found it near impossible to get a sense of the flow of the game or even what players were actually supposed to be doing (beyond just taking arbitrary turns until the game ends) -- but these videos made everything click very quickly. The bot especially seemed to play very smoothly and you obviously had its routine down by the end of the second game (even though the bots were different in each game). Were you able to pick everything up from just the rulebook, or did you have a lot of questions for the designers before starting the first stream?
Ordered both sets on the strength of these playthroughs. Hard to get a sense of the game-flow when so much of it is tied to card effects, but this looks really excellent :D (not a jab at the game btw. Tom Lehmann has identified a similar "problem" with his games, and they tend to be some of my favorites)
Is that Unification episode from Star Trek TNG the one where Sela appears, the half-romulan daughter of Lt. Yar from the alternate time line they created when they sent back the Enterprise C? My mind was blown away with that episode. They took a detail of a previous episode which apparently was sec contained and created a 2-part episode from the ripple effect since that episode. That was brilliant, at that time at least.
@@jerryf196 I do not. I'm more of a rules guy, and I've not played the game anywhere near enough to be able to come up with any specific strategies for any of the factions.
Came here for the gameplay video, but I after many times seeing and dismissing this American is going to buy jaffa cakes. Wondering if Jacobs or McVitie's is the way to go. Help! I'm ignorant in such things!
I have loved both videos.... fantastic work!
I watched the first one live and this one afterwards.
These are now on my must-have list!
Same here, Classics especially is an auto buy. Har sett flera olika svenskar kommentera :)
Pro tip: watch series on flixzone. Been using it for watching loads of movies these days.
@Skylar Kendrick definitely, I have been using flixzone} for since november myself :)

awesome job covering this! I appreciate how clearly you walked through these. Keep up the great work!
“The hills are alive with the sound of Egyptians” 🤣🤣🤣 Starring Julie Andrews as Cleopatra 😅
Great playthrough thanks! I've got the game and I love it. I've learned the solo play from your first playthrough. So thanks for that too.
Excellent video! I just picked up Legends, but still working on Classics. Can't wait to start mixing up the factions!
This is great! I can not wait for this game!
Ordered this after David mentioned it on fb. After watching both playthroughs, glad it's coming soon.

I learnt mostly from the rulebook in the afternoon but then did a private stream which Nigel joined in on and pointed out a few things I had missed.
great video, thanks! quick question: out of curiosity, is this using the updated Qin bot tables from the errata? or from the original solo rulebook?

As a solo game this is a masterpiece to me.
I have both boxes of this and love it. Do you know if any expansion or new civs are coming?

Quick Question. What is the advantage or strategy involved doing a innovate?
It’s mainly there if there is a card you REALLY want but no other way to getting it. It isn’t used very often.
@@GamingRulesVideos thanks for the reply
@@jerryf196No problem. I did a video last week on the new Horizons set too.
@@GamingRulesVideos yes I started watching it. But do you have any videos on how you play for a civilization. Talking about different strategies?
@@jerryf196 I do not. I'm more of a rules guy, and I've not played the game anywhere near enough to be able to come up with any specific strategies for any of the factions.
Why did you put the exhaust token on your nation deck at the beginning?
Of the 2 versions, which one did you like best Classics or Legends?
It's not that kind of game. They aren't different "versions", they are just different civilizations, and all 16 civs play differently anyway.
Legends is definitely more "advanced" in terms of civilization complexity
Can it be possible that you have no discards left with 4 cards on hand to start off?
Honestly, I'm not sure.
@@GamingRulesVideos thanks for the reply. Just learning the game but I think screwed on something and resolved it. Your videos are helping me alot
Came here for the gameplay video, but I after many times seeing and dismissing this American is going to buy jaffa cakes. Wondering if Jacobs or McVitie's is the way to go. Help! I'm ignorant in such things!
The official ones are McVities, but "Jaffa cake" is not trademarked, so there are many other versions of them. I buy ones that are much cheaper :)
@@GamingRulesVideos Thanks for the recommendations! Looks like I only have the two options on this side of the pond. Potential import opportunity? :D
