Thank you Branislav for making this video. My copy of Horseless Carriage arrived last week. It is now out on my table as I play a dummy round. I shall lean heavily on how you taught the game when I introduce it to my friends. I'm very excited about playing this most excellent game.
I think you missed a rule. In phase 7 when you’re determining which dimension will be added to the axis next, the first tie-breaker is whichever dimension/research track has a player marker furthest right from the white wooden marker. The second tie-breaker is whichever strip is topmost.
Otherwise an excellent video!
Correct, and I've already posted the update/correction to the description of the video.
I've been watching your videos for a while. Always very helpful. This one takes the cake, and I wanted to say well done, and thank you for covering heavier games like this one.
Thank you very much Gabriel. ☺️
Always glad when you post a new video. Can’t wait to watch this when I get home later.
Thank you, Branislav, for making the difficult easy. excellent explanation and video
Just discovered your channel with the video of horseless carriage. By far the best video rules for this game on YT. Congrats and thank you for helping me !
Thank you. :)
Thank you for this! Very difficult rulebook to parse. Very excited to have the game on hand soon :)
This combined with my “teaching” rulebook on BGG make learning the game super easy :)
Thank you Jonathan! Your rulebook helped me to confirm some not-so-clear rules from the original rulebook! Great job! Thanks! ☺️
@@nithrania-gameinanutshell Thank you so much - glad I was able to help!
You have become my favorite video tutorial channel. I had a hard time understanding the game from the rulebook and you have solved an unplayable game for me. I’m eagre to start this game now I know how. Great job and thank you.
I'm really happy to hear that, thank you very much. ☺️
Skvělý, už jsem myslel že se to budu učit jenom z pravidel!
YES! Not watching this now, but later when I get the game. Your tutorials are great and I'm sure this will help me learn the game easier. Thanks!
Thank you very much. ☺️
Thank you for this concise explanation
Excellent teach, thank you!
Thanks for great tutorial! During the setup you don't draw 4 neutral cards, but (player count + 1) cards.
Perfect! as always ☺ Thank you!
Thank for this material ❤
oh god I was wondering about this game being fcm my top game, u are always the GOAT in board game rules
Thank you ☺️
Wonderful video, fantastic explanation.
Thank you! ☺️
Outstanding teach of a tricky set of rules!
Thank you. ☺️
Excellent teach, thanks so much! Subbed.
Thank you! ☺️
Thank you for the great video. You explained clearly and gave examples for each phase. You should have written the rulebook!
Thank you! ☺️
I would love to write a rulebook for this one, a few more examples (and pictures) would be very welcome! 😄
Cheers. Helpful :)
Great rule explanation as usual. The game looks super fun. I hope i get to play it one day
Looking forward to this one! Would be great if you could make a video for Great Zimbabwe too :)
Well, it's really an old game but I have TGZ in the "nice to have" tutorials section. 🙂 So, it's likely to happen. :)
@@nithrania-gameinanutshell old or not, I just bought it so a rules video would come in handy 😄
Thanks!
Well done! We learned and played the game yesterday for the first time. Now, after having seen your tutorial, i have to admit, that we made a lot of minor errors. Some rules are quite fiddly, especially handling the requirements of the sectors, but they are logical after having learned. The manual is really short and lacks an inventory list, an overview of the setup, explanations of wordings and examples of tricky constellations. It is a really good game with a bad manual.
I understand, a few more pictures would be helpful. And if you look at that manual - there's A LOT of free space for pictures. 🙂
Hi Branislav: excellent job as usual. Let's see when we play. I have bad feelings there, but let's wait and see: anyhow you need at least to try each splotter game once.
Thank you Michele! Why bad feelings? 🙂
The game is brilliant (at least I find it brilliant), I'm delighted, hopefully you'll like it, too. 🙂
Danke!
Thanks
God bless you, thanks for your work making these.
Thank you so much. ☺️
Thanks so much for this clear overview of the rules! Very clear examples and edge cases also.
One remark:
In Phase 7 I believe the track that is furthest to the right (compared to the min. Spec. Marker) wins the tie. So in your example the Design track should go into place.
Do you agree?
Yes, I've already made a note in the description of the video. :)
Branislaaaaaaavvvvv !!!! I have been waiting for you to post this video before I start playing.
Have you tried it yet? What did you think?
Splotters are my favorite games. Antiquity, Indonesia, Roads & Boats, Food Chain, Bus.
How does this rank against them?
I haven't played Indonesia yet (can't find any copy! 🙃), but I think this game will be a hot contender for the best Splotter game I have ever played! Fantastically clever, highly interactive, so deep, I am totally hooked on this game. I can say right now (spoilers alert! 😄) - in my TOP 5 games of all times instantly!
@@nithrania-gameinanutshell That sounds fantastic. I am sure I will love it. Thank you for the teach Branislav, excellent as always
@@nithrania-gameinanutshell If you ever find yourself in Perth, Western Australia you can always play my copy 😄
I may have missed this, but what is the significance of the numbers on the technology tiles? For example, the engine you showed had a red 1, a green 1 and a blue 5
Those numbers indicate the position of that technology on different research tracks.
So, looking at the engine tech tile - you immediately see that it can give you 3 upgrades, one red, one green and one blue, and those upgrades are on positions 1, 1, and 5 on research tracks.
HALELUJAH!!!!
I suppose the part that was a bit unclear for me was during the factory setup step each round, there is no cost to construct different factory rooms? You can just build as many as you can fit each round for free? But never move them under any circumstances in later rounds?
Yes, correct!
Quoting Joris, one of the designers:
"The game gives a lot of freedom but can be unforgiving if you use it :-)" 😄
@@nithrania-gameinanutshell - Thanks Branislav! Joris has some pretty good quotes. Reminds me of his classic "if you cannot lose the game on the first move, then the first move should not be played."
I love that one, too! 😄
Is there a limit to spark tokens in a niche?
No limit to sparks.
so I should buy this instead of Kanban EV? ;)
😄 Definitely yes!
Buy them both!
First visible comment! Who sent you this prototype?
😂😂😂 Please don't be misleaded by the presentation, this is not a prototype yet, this is my own home-made PnP version of the game. 😂
Pretty good skills to make the plastic and wooden pieces. ; )
They are called Splotter Spellen, and their games are top notch prototypes that they reach production even in their prototype phase ;P
I did a double take when I saw the patchy printing on the tiles when I received my copy. Oh, how I wasted my money on sub-par printing! And then realise that the designer had deliberately made it patchy so that it gave the feel of playing a game printed a hundred years ago. I love the metallic sheen on the vehicle tokens and feel that the designer did a good job of making the state of play obvious through their choice of colours.
The mainline has A,b,c,d. Are those not adjacent to each other within the mainline?
OK, I had to re-read the question several times to understand it, but I think I know what you mean now! 🙂
I believe the adjacency is checked BETWEEN the tiles, not really WITHIN the tiles. 🙂 And the adjacency is always horizontal or vertical, not diagonal.
Hope this helps.
@@nithrania-gameinanutshell not within tiles, that helps thank you!
Thanks
