      Early on you mention once a milestone has been claimed no one else may claim it.
      Other players can claim the same milestone provided that they do so
      during the same turn. Occasionally there may not be enough milestones
      cards; please make a proxy copy to hand out in that case.

      @@BryanPanting That's true, but that part is just a broad overview. In the section where I go in depth about milestones I mention that multiple players can achieve it in one turn. Good point about there not always being enough though, I'll add a note about that.

    Nice job! I’ve heard this game is ultra brutal, so having a calm rules explanation helps a lot.

    18:43 oof, we’ve played this game so many times and completely overlooked the “pay employees at the beach” rule. Will change the dynamic for sure. Thanks for the great video!

      @@augustovanderleyunderrated sign of a good game: Having a complicated rule book but people are still willing to be patient to learn it.
      Shout out to War of the Ring. We played it wrong even with RTF’s rule explanation like 3 times.

    We all watched this a couple of times through before playing at the weekend. Had an absolute blast with the game. Thanks for this resource! You're the best teacher on UA-cam (and the bar is high).

    Wow, great video. The rules don’t seem that complicated. It’ll be in the playing that the complexity will show.

    14:03 If you always place the aircraft with the nose touching the board that will ensure you get the orientation correct! If you place the nose away from the board your airplane is flying in the wrong direction.😅

    Thanks for this! I've been curious about this game since the wonderful SU&SD review so many years ago. Their explanation left a few things unclear, so now that i have a much better understanding, i may get this! I have a few friends that love ultra-crunchy games like this so it may be a good fit!
    Also, i love the aesthetic of this game - it's so evocative of that period of advertising! And your choices of music/ images for each section were on-point!

      And also the most expensive. I have seen copies of this thing go higher than packs of all Nemesis games with all expansions. One would think the game would be full of gold... or at least quality components. But nope.

    I have a question when paying workers does that money go back to the bank or out of the game?

    • @RTFM

      It goes back to the bank.

    Question on the drink pathing at 10:04. In the example, you go past the lemonade and the beer, collecting them. Instead, could you have chosen the lemonade and the soda next to house #4, skipping the beer near house #15?

    • @RTFM
      @RTFM  6 місяців тому

      Yes, that would have been a legal play. You aren't skipping it exactly though, because in order to go to the soda, you would never have been adjacent to it.

      Following up on this in the Zepplin pilot example didn’t actually follow the roads? Or was it because the restaurants entrance is facing an overpass?

    You so nearly got the pronunciation right. You say the 'sp' in both 'splotter' as well as 'spellen' the same way you do as in 'spelling' or 'spells'. Great job on the rest of it though!
