I watched this and was shocked how good the video was. Then noticed it’s the official channel! I love when publishers have their own how to play videos. Well done! 👏🏼
Thank you so much! It means a lot to us that videos like this are appreciated by the community! 🌱 It's our job to make sure the game is as accessible as it can be!
Thank you! This is the official Inside Up Games channel, so we release tutorials for our own games, but really appreciate your comment! So glad it was easy to follow along with. 😊
I've made a lot of videos in my time on many different channels. I've watched thousands upon thousands of them...and I've got to say this might actually be the best video I've seen for a Board Game "how to". To know it's the official channel as well just makes it better
This was a nice overview of how the game flows, but there are definitely a lot of details left out. Good starting point though. I now see the description says overview but since the title was "how to play" I expected it to be more thorough. I just want to point out that when you described ability trigger order you said "top to bottom, left to right". But that would be going down each column starting with the left one, not going through each row starting at the top one. That would be "left to right, top to bottom". The rulebook describes it as "in order, row by row, left to right, starting from the top left" which is an even better very clear way to describe it. Thanks for the well made overview.
In the general categories of light, medium, and heavy Euro games, Earth won the game of the year in the medium category. So it is a bit more involved than “typical” retail board games, but a somewhat easier transition than a “heavy”, more complex game.
When do you place the leaf tokens on the fauna board? At the end it says they score points from leaf tokens placed there, but it doesn't say when they get put there.
Hello :) Leaf tokens are placed at the end of a turn in which the player achieves the goal on the Fauna card. If multiple players achieve the goal on the same turn tokens are placed in clockwise order, starting with the Active player (if they are one of the tied players). Once a player has placed a Leaf, it will not be removed even if they fall below the threshold for the goal. I hope this helps!
This is a really good explanation of the game AND short in time! Thanks, needed a refreshment since it has been a long time since I've played this one!

This is the best, most detailed, easiest to follow tutorial vid for a bord game, you need to do more games starting with the top BGA games

I watched so many tutorials this is the only one that actually explains turns!!!! Thank you soooooo much
We're so glad the tutorial was helpful to you! Hope you have a great time exploring the game! 🌎
Best rules video ever.

Thank you for these CLEAR and CONCISE instructions!! The game looks interesting! If I play it I will come back here!! 😊
Thank you, Bridget! Really glad the instructions caught your attention, and hope you enjoy the game when you have a chance to play!
Brilliant Video! So clear and concise. It is very quick, but coupled with the video, it is easy to follow. Well done!
Thank you so much, glad it was helpful! 🌎
Looks like a lot of fun but there are probably too many things going on for casual board gamers
Depends on your definition of casual, but it does have a simpler mode to help with learning it a bit.

Damn, that’s one heck of a game, a life-time to master
You didnt mention anything about events. How do those work?
Love this game.
Can soil discounts allow you to plant cards for 0 soil?
Yes, but under 0 is forbidden by the rules.
Left to right, top to bottom.
“Top to bottom, left to right” would be entirely different. 😇
Great catch! Correct, it is left to right starting with the topmost column. 😊😊
