I've played this game a ton and I cant believe their map setup was so peaceful! That's the first time I've seen the prisoners dilemma work out in favor for everyone. Lol
For anyone not familiar with Game Theory, here's a Wiki: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prisoner%27s_dilemma Often depicted as 2 criminals caught by the police, and offered a reduced sentence during a private conversation for helping them convict their partner in crime. However, if both criminals reveal each other, they get a worse sentence than if they both simply didn't talk at all. It's interesting to think about the consequences of actions, when you have an unpredictable partner that might be a friend, or a foe, and there's no way to know what they are... until long after you have acted.
Schroeder has some major fidget ADHD. But basic hygiene should have him banned from sticking his fingers in his mouth over and over and then touching the pieces. I know it's GENCON, and hygiene apparently doesn't matter there, but I would have asked the TO to say/do something about it.
Seriously, if you can't handle having itchy facial hair, shave it the fuck off. Who the hell would wanna play with a guy like this? Fingers constantly in his mouth and beard . . . probably in his ass too at some point. Fuck that noise.
OMG why did i read this comment... I was already getting super annoyed at the kid twitching all the time like he needed to go to the bathroom. Now I noticed this too and it's even worse xD Can we get a version where the players are censored!? xD
@@bdelzerful To be fair, the Sol player's looked like an involuntary movement disorder of some kind. The Saar player, on the other hand, was just a disgusting neckbeard with zero consideration for basic hygiene and other players' health. In fact, some of the other players were like that from time to time as well, like the Naalu guy sticking his finger in his mouth and then touching the cards (though Beardo was by far and away the worst). Way to dispel those 'unwashed nerd' stereotypes guys. Good thing GenCon 2020 was cancelled with covid-19 doing the rounds. Could you imagine what a shitshow it would've been with freaks like this?
Are they doing transactions to non-neighbor players? Noticed promissory notes and trade goods getting exchanged between Naalu and Jol-nar and trade goods between Sol and Jol-nar.
So long as you control a system adjacent to a system the other player controls you're considered a "neighboring player" and can trade. Also you can trade with any player during the agenda phase.
I wonder what a game of TI4 would be like if you could not say anything, i.e. not discuss, just speak with actions. Would be a bit problematic if you wanted to trade something I guess. But maybe a variant where you could make simple request like "I will trade this for XY". Just a thought experiment.
I love that the camera man is listening to you guys and moving the camera in response. It really helps to keep an eye on what's going on.
Fingers in mouth and then handling strategy cards :55 seconds in. Terrific and hygenic.
the right side of the board is disgusting. I would never play with them... uagh.
This game seems to run a lot better with a moderator/judge.
One of the duties of the Speaker is to keep things moving in our home games

I know right! Most of my games end up with as many hazards as possible in the inner ring(or empty space).

I made the video as a spectator...victory

Not to mention how many times he tried to hide he was eating things out of his beard... disgusting.
@@Notrog21 I had to come down here and see if anyone else was bothered by this before moving on in the video lol.
An objective score overlay would be nice for future videos
Good news! This video is from 2019 and our future videos do have score overlays!
36:06 "AND...... That's how they both got Pneumonia" Hunter 2019
I lost it when he said that. lmao
I was just about to write this haha
I'm surprised no one commented on the abyssal carrot pulled out @ 58:00
I came to the comments looking for this comment
Maybe helps him to see in the darkness of the void.
44:00 Mecantol? Mecatol spelled wrong on a official tournament! 🤪
Might be an inside joke of the tournament
Sol really messed up by not bringing fighters to the system nearest Nekro when he expanded there.
Insane game :P. Also shows even the best in the World forgets about Tech or action cards they got ^^. /Akenkaset
*scratches beard*
Seriously, the amount of nervous tics and constant movement in really distracting. Like, how often can the Sol player stretch his neck?
@@bdelzerful it's an involuntary medical condition.

@@ancalites you’re too kind!
Do riders really start with the speaker????
They spelled Mecatol Rex wrong on the whiteboard? "Mecantol"??
Turn 2 and 2 point publuc objective already? Whaat?
@36:00.. that did not age well...

Jol-nar has Hacan's promissory note, allowing him to trade with everyone
@@shaunmazza3984 Oh, that's what I missed. Thanks for pointing that out.

Also maybe cheating at 55:38? guy in background possibly looking at cards, relaying information.
I know talking is part of the game, but man! The right side of the table won't stop talking!! Just play the game.
Talking is a prety major part of this game, no?
i cant believe naalu didnt deny saar imperial, what kind of amateurs are we watching here.
Sol please fix your neck.
tourette syndrome
