      May I make a recommandation? LoadingReadyLive is the archive channel for the twitch stream of the LoadingReadyRun internet video team. They're the people who do Desert Bus for Hope among a billion other things. One of their shows is "AFK" where they play tabletop games (the channel should have a playlist). It is really funny though I guess it doesn't have the production value or star quality of TableTop.

    Wow. Literally the very first turn of the game and they already screw the rules up. You can clear sand off of an adjacent tile, but to actually excavate (flip over) a tile, you have to be standing on it. In order to do what Alan did on turn one, you'd have to use 2 actions to clear off the two sand tiles, then use action three to move to one of them, another action to flip it, 2 more to get to the other tile, one more to flip that one, then a final action to get back to the starting point. By my math that's eight actions as opposed to the four you're supposed to get per turn.

    It's really too bad y'all missed a couple of things (movement of the storm, excavating rules and paying actions for picking up a part).
    I feel like it really changed game balance, now.
    Still, looked like y'all had fun!:)

    This is a great game that I picked up right after watching this episode to play with my girlie and her son, definitely not an easy game but we have beaten it twice and had a blast playing, even when we lost. After watching almost ever episode, I now have several pages of games (especially Catan junior) that I need to hunt down and play with the family.
    Thank you guys for making a great show that introduces the world to some outstanding games and don't worry about the haters all about only pointing out the mistakes you make during the games you play. We are only human and every one of us that have ever played games have made a mistake here, wrong move there, or forgot to do this at this time. It happens! Just can't lose sight of the purpose of the game......having a great time with great people in your life.
    Keep up the great work and keep playing awesome games, mistakes and all.

      No its the direction the storm moves, so that makes it the direction the hole moves.
      And yes you are meant to be standing on a tile to excavate it... they are thinking of forbidden island rules where you can flip the ones next to you XP
      Edit: I Just looked it up and you are in fact right, I have always played it the way they are playing it though! XD Doesn't really matter though :P Sorry! :)

    • @Anna-yi8bj
      @Anna-yi8bj 9 років тому

      Actually, they ARE moving it the right way but I don't think they've realised it. I haven't watched the entire thing, just Alan's first turn (I should be writing my essay that's due tomorrow instead darnit!) and just had to look at the comments cause of the way they flipped tiles like Forbidden Island.
      Anyways, the tiles on the board are oriented in one direction, whereas the storm cards Wil draws are oriented the other way. There's a reason for the compass rose with the red arrow! (But of course now that I've watched a bit more I see that the graphics are doing it the wrong way. Oh well)
      I mean, the cards show tiles with an arrow. The logical way to read them would be "move the tiles in the direction of the arrow".

    • @rmsgrey

      They also made it harder on themselves than they had to by missing good moves - like leaving the Climber out in the sun rather than having him pick up the Archaeologist to join them (actually, Climber and Navigator make a powerful combo - the Climber carries the Navigator around everywhere, letting the Navigator move himself 3 spaces per action too) - or when they spent two actions to move between diagonally adjacent tunnels...
      Overall, yeah, excavating adjacent tiles made it much, much easier on them - as shown by them winning without touching any of the water tiles...

    This video caused me to buy this game for my Mom (who loves board games) for Christmas! While my Mom loves playing board games with our family, over-competitiveness has prevented us from having a consistently fun (and tearless) experience. The idea of a co-operative game is such a good idea, and the game-play from the video looked so fun, I decided it had to be under our tree today. We just played our first game, and we loved it! Everyone had a great time playing, and although we lost, we did so on the last turn of the game! Super fun and challenging, I can't wait to play again later today and in the future. Thank you so much TableTop for this video, you've generated a sale for Gamewright and you've brought hours of entertainment to our home!

    I'm not sure if people care about the specifics of the rules in these videos (so please tell me, but don't berate me if it's customary not to point things out).
    6:53 You can't actually excavate a tile without moving to it first.

    • @Psychesrose
      @Psychesrose 8 років тому +1

      I thought it was like forbidden island where the rules just have to be adjacent to to the one you're on. I would think to physically be on every tile you excavate would burn too many turns for the game to be very functional. Of of the three actions you get, you'd have to burn two to excavate only one tile.

      I don't own the game any longer, but: I know you can dig sand on adjacent tiles, but I'm pretty sure you have to be _on_ the tile to actually excavate it.

    • @TheRobGraves
      @TheRobGraves 8 років тому +7

      This is the way I play it (which is harder, I've never actually won Forbidden Desert in my 20 some playthroughs) but the rulebook says "Excavate - If your pawn is on the desert side of a tile that does not have any Sand markers on it, you may excavate it for 1 action. " So I take "if your pawn is on" to mean literally on that tile.

    The first time I played Forbidden Desert was right after I had read the book, "Sand" by Hugh Howey. It gave the game even more depth. Not as much as reading "The Settlers of Catan" novel and how it made the Catan world come to life, but still....
    The combination of Felicia Day, Alan Tudyk, and Jon Heder on this episode was HILARIOUS! I love the imaginary worlds they each contributed...kinda hard to pay attention to the actual game...if it were at my house I'd have given up and just done role-play for the rest of the afternoon!

    @flyingpenguin4144 7 років тому +15

    I really like Tabletop, and this is probably the most fun session I've seen, but they got a couple fundamental rules wrong! The biggest one is when excavating a tile you have to be on it first, can't just be next to it. And then also once a part of the flying machine is discovered, it stays on that tile and gets moved around by the storm; Wil was keeping the part in the same spot and moving tiles underneath it. Just had to mention it so viewers have a better grasp of the game. Otherwise really fun session! Oh, and Alan is awesome.

      @adamhawkins9829 7 років тому +3

      All 24 tiles are shuffled and placed in a 5x5 grid with storm starting in the middle and sand tiles are placed on the 8 tiles shown in the video that make up the diamond shape. The parts are not placed during setup. They are only placed once both clues have been excavated. So even if you peeked at all the tiles and went to the intersection of the 2 clues you could not find the item. If you are still there when the second clue is excavated (assuming the shifting tiles hasn't affected the location of the intersection) the item will appear right next to you.
