I’m glad you made a video for this because I do love this game. Buy you made a ton of rules errors in here. From simple town placement which needs to be next to a city, not next to other towns, and putting tokens on the board meant for specific cards, etc lol. Since you were just playing against yoirskef it’s not a huge deal but if anyone is watching to understand the game this video may lead them astray lol.
Can the wild resource change at will or is it always the first one you pick? Say end game I have two project cards that require two different resource tokens I don’t have. Can I use the wild to make one a horse and the other a cow, thereby fulfilling both cards for 10 pts?
fantastic playthrough! just getting into this. about to start our first game and wondering if we should add on the expansion for our first playthrough as we bought both.
Thank you! I know I had some errors in their but playing 3 hands while trying to keep decent strategies going turned into a bit of a mental juggling contest. Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!
So I am only 2hrs into this video (fantastic video by the way) and I am still waiting for my game to be delivered so sorry if this is such a silly question but you worry so much about your production, and yet you have only used it once in the entire game, does your production do anything else for you or help in your scoring?
There are a few strategies that rely on production but they require certain cards to come into play or certain leaders. This playthrough just didn't pan out for needing production as much. Thanks for commenting and watching!
It's a fun game, but I'm terribly sorry for buying the colossus edition. The game is ok, at best, and I know this is very subjective, but I don't think it justifies all this lavish production. The box is massive, the setup and tear down are really long, and there's not enough gameplay there (imo, of course) to justify such a big box and such a high price point. Will be selling my colossus and, eventually, get a retail edition.
I do think set up takes a while but it’s the same length in any edition. The colossal edition Doenst take any extra time setting up. Idk why people say this. If anything it’s easier. You just throw all your color into one tray. Done. Cards are already basically sorted out. There’s other games that take way longer.
@markm5171 that would be odd since the solo AI is allowed to do so. But there are other oddities about the game that are inconsistent so it wouldn't surprise me.

@@OffTheShelfGameReviews will do!

You pick what it represents when you decide to use it.

@@OffTheShelfGameReviewsthat’s incorrect. That question mark reaource is for a specific card. It’s not one that randomly goes on the board.

Great stuff! Would love to see another playthrough with different leaders etc
Once the expansion ships, it is on the list of things to film!
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic play through 3 handed! Enjoyed the humor and color commentary as well!

I don’t think you can deploy the yellow infantry into Numidia as you don’t have a city there

I say it twice in my review, there is ZERO reason to buy the collosal edition, buy the Sphinx edition, save a bunch of money, and be happier.

41:26 Can you actually place a town against a town and then say it is next to a city??
You may. Thanks for watching!
I don’t think so. Received my copy yesterday and the rules say: Place a town on an available hex next to one of your cities.
@markm5171 that would be odd since the solo AI is allowed to do so.

No he’s wrong. You can only place a town next to a city. The solo AI may be different. But normal rules are pretty straight forward about this.
@@KMReviews I updated the show notes with corrections. Thanks for watching all !
Sorry may have been a card
There is one card that says something like anywhere or any location. It is a specific card that allows it.
Thanks for watching!
