You are not helping my acquisition disorder! I though I was done with buying games for this month, but this explanation made it too tempting. Great job as always.
I find myself watching How to Play videos from your channel even for games my group isn't really interested in just out of pleasure and learning about how to clearly explain rules. Cool intro btw.
How in the world are you able to assimilate these seemingly impossibly complex rules for these games?! I wish I could sit down and do that! You must have some special super-power to learn the rules. You have made this game appear so appealing, I just ordered it. I also just stumbled across a "theme song" for this game. Pretty entertaining! Please keep up the great work.
Another top quality instructional video, Rodney, congrats. I set up the game, started to pour over the rule book, then said, "Heck, why not Watch It Played instead?" I can now read over the rules quickly. I do have a couple of questions: 1. Can players have a plow for each Field card they place? Or only one plow (and hence one extra bonus coin) regardless of Fields [~16:52]? 2. Can players have a Council Chamber and a Meeting Place [~22:22] or is it an either/or choice? Thanks for the idea of foam core boards. I love this idea in general and for My Village in particular. With all the stacks, the game set-up seems particularly vulnerable to bumps. Heading to my Friendly Local Hardware Store to pick some up. Excellent work, sir. I've backed a second season of WIP on Indigogo because you're providing such valuable resources to our gaming community.
Hey Matthew, thanks for the kind words (and generous support). 1) From what I can see in the rules (page 8), it seems that you can have a plow for each field. 2) You may have 1 council chamber and 1 meeting place in your council area, irrespective of which you added first (page 11).
Hi Rodney. First, thanks so much for this video. I just picked up this game at Origins and in our first play had many questions, so your video has cleared them all up. Second, it was really fantastic to meet you at Origins, and I do wish I had a chance to talk to you a bit more, but you were surrounded by friends and adoring fans. I hope you had a good convention. Will you be at Essen by any chance? Would be great to see you there. Lastly, I really appreciate the work you do, and the quality of your videos. I wanted to say that you really set the bar for the industry and our hobby is better off for it. Many thanks.
Thanks Guru :) Sorry we didn't get a chance to talk more. The conventions can be a little tricky that way. There never seems to be enough time, and I hope I never cut anyone off short. It's so nice to know that people like you care about the show and want to see it continue. That means so much to me. No Essen for me this year. I'd love to go eventually!
It was played last night on 6/29 and everyone liked it. We ran into some analysis paralysis at times and with 4 players that made for a lengthy game but I thought it was better than Village.
It comes in a variety of sizes, and then you use a blade to measure and cut it to the size you want. I don't have this bard anymore, so I don't know what size it was.
***** Of course. I usually check out your videos for Board games reference and rules. Do you recommend this game for 2 player only or is it better with 3+?
+Javier Herculean I avoid making those kinds of recommendations, as I really think that's going to come down to the players. Everyone has really different opinions on that sort of thing.
Sure - not too much to say though. Basically, I had some lying around, and cut it to fit the surface I needed, to be able to easily move all of the cards around at once on the table :)
+Otherspersons Not sure yet. My play through schedule is a bit messed up for the next couple weeks due to travel. Will keep doing instructionals until I can get a free space to get the next play through going.

+Maria Atanasova I'm simply helping you test your discipline :) Glad you enjoyed the video Maria, thanks!

+Alexander Díaz Very happy to have you watching Alexander :) Glad you enjoyed the intro too!
It's suuuuper relaxing...
Great video Rodney! I loooove Village and recently purchased My Village. I actually found My Village to be a more difficult game!
So glad you enjoyed the video!

Great job as always. Very helpful. Can't wait to play it with my group tonight.
Thanks Bob - hope you have a good time playing.

our family loves watching your videos Rodney !
+Sean Luc Blonk Thanks! Here's to your gaming family!
Welcome back Sir, we hope a quick impressions update about the expo ...
+AlexanderTF Might try to do that in place of a Table Talk episode this week.
Hello! I would like to ask you about the size of the black foam so that I could find it as well because it looks great!
It comes in a variety of sizes, and then you use a blade to measure and cut it to the size you want. I don't have this bard anymore, so I don't know what size it was.
@@WatchItPlayed ah okay. By the way, the game is being shipped right now. It looks really hard game though. Need to watch this multiple times I guess.
Love this game, about time I got mine to the table
+Patrick W Hey, here's a good excuse to, right? :)
Awesome intro!
+Stefan Games Thanks Stefan :)
I agree!
3:00 Those "hexagonal" spaces... are octagons.
+computermaster124816 Very true!
Looks awesome and complex at the same time! LOL
+Javier Herculean Thanks for checking it out Javier!

+Javier Herculean I avoid making those kinds of recommendations, as I really think that's going to come down to the players. Everyone has really different opinions on that sort of thing.
Any chance you could give some more information about the foam core?
Sure - not too much to say though. Basically, I had some lying around, and cut it to fit the surface I needed, to be able to easily move all of the cards around at once on the table :)
I like the new sound track👍🏿
+warsu Glad you like it! Chaz did a great job, as always :)
This is on the docket for the games night tomorrow, scrambling to put up a How To video for new players...Rodney to the rescue!
Hey Aaron, glad we could help! Have fun playing!
Any play through videos in plans for this one? Thanks!
+Otherspersons Not sure yet. My play through schedule is a bit messed up for the next couple weeks due to travel. Will keep doing instructionals until I can get a free space to get the next play through going.
why our game board got different cards ? We don't have that cube and card with grave yeard
I'm not really sure. Perhaps you have a different printing? You'd want to check with the publisher.
Watch It Played hey! because it's my village and we got Village :-)
Well that would certainly explain it :)
Would you do a playthrough of this game?
+Andrew King I would enjoy featuring it that way, but it would be tricky because of the table space it takes up.
Dang. Your theme/intro got a Dr Who treatment.
+Robert Johnson Yep the dynamic duo of Diego and Chaz gave it a nice do-over :)
