I would call this game a nice 'introduction' to Euro games and such given the fairly basic mechanics that are standard to the genre. Excellent work as always on the video.
Any time you say Personnel card, I hear "Nothing personnel, kid" but I can't remember where that is from. Love the video and it made me very interested in the game. Great job at showing it off so well!
Throwback! Great vid as always. Have you ever thought of making a video for Queen’s Architect? There aren’t many videos for it (at least not good ones).
I owned that game a long time ago, I think I came quite close to reviewing it in 2015 but never got around to it. It's a game I partly loved and partly didn't like very much and in the end I decided to sell my copy. I don't even remember the specifics of my issues, though I have a vague recollection of runaway leader problems.
23:50 You accidentally stated "who ever completes a size 4 level first". The card is for a commission of exactly 7 levels. 4 is the points you receive when completed. :)
Firenze is very nice, but I have to say that Stefan Feld's Bruges is the same weight, but offers more interesting choices when it comes to card play ;)
Thanks for introducing me to this game. How has this flown under my radar. This looks like so much fun and competitive! Is there a place to order this in the U.S.?
Is this a favorite of yours Jon? I know you have mentioned the incentivization mechanism before, and this seems to have a integral incentivization mechanic.

Always love your tutorials, Jon! Thank you!
Great play through, I just wish it wasn't so expansive to try and pick up a copy of this game.

Came to say exactly this.
Good catch, thanks! I've added a note to the Klingon subtitles.
Very good job, at Time 43:50 you would have keep one of your two red brick I think.
Fab
Yeah, I have a correction for that in the Klingon subtitles.
Brilliant. I might actually win a game now. :-)

I am unsure. I picked this one up at Essen 2018. The original version had text on cards and was therefore language dependant.
@@JonGetsGames You could always send me your copy;)

Yeah, I think this game is great. I'm not sure it's a Top 10 game anymore, but I still think it's solid and a wonderful example of incentivization.
Old School!
Yep! I enjoy it when older games like this are selected :)
43:43 you should have kept one red brick right?
Yep, good catch! I've added a note to the Klingon subtitles.
@@JonGetsGames Great playthrough, I love that you're doing a few full playthroughs again
too bad they replaced words on the cards with cryptic hard to read symbols
