One of the most innovative, beautiful , easy to learn, play and then save games ever released. A true keeper for me and hope they create similar games to this in the future. 10/10
Excellent tutorial! I tried to introduce this game to a couple friends, one of whom has a D&D background but not a boardgaming background, and it flopped a little as I'd only played once before and was a little hazy on the rules. This has helped a lot, and now I think I'm ready to have another try with my friends.
Great explanation of the rules in an almost tutorial format. I kinda wish the game had a short tutorial "curse" or something. Maybe something to think about for The 7th Citadel.
So-o-o-o agree - a how-to-play is one of the first things I look for on UA-cam. And sometimes, the video is better than the rule book. Just be careful you're watching a correct video (some have errors). :-)
I played a game with my friend yesterday and it was amazing. It played to fluently and everything made so much sense, that I kept worrying we were doing something wrong. The co-op element is amazing, and the fact that you can take as many turns as you want per player really makes this game so smooth. The discovery element is what really sets this game apart from the rest. There is so much to see, try, read, search, it's amazing! We added all the expansions into the game box and during that first game we even encountered 2 expansions that really added flavor to our game. So much fun. We didnt make it in the end, but we're going to have a try later today and I cant wait to get back into it!
Joost Nauw The best co-op games are great even when you lose in the end. Just like my personal favorite Eldritch Horror. Looking forward to get this in the next Kickstarter.
We had several sessions, also a new group with a total of 4. The 4-player session lasted for about 3 hours and then we saved it, although we were very eager to continue. It's so good. Other 2-player sessions lasted about 1,5 to 2 hours and then we died. I think we were too impulsive with exploring and doing actions. There's just so much to see and do. :)
Hi! I've already tried the game and I'm loving. Anyway, I would like to make a technical question: how do you make the fliping card effects during the video? I'm asking because I want to make an explanatory video of the game in Spanish and I'm wondering how to make those visual effects in my video. Thanks in advance!
Thx for this video. I have a question about stacking items and using them. You put the rope underneath the backpelt. So how You can still use it (at ~24:00)? Seems I don't understand combining of items.
Just to be sure, before my first playthrough: At 10:55 you do the climb action on a card your figure isn't located at. How does that work? Don't you have to move to the card to do the action?
seems like you use the term "curse" for three distinct mechanics. that was the only confusing part. There is no simple and precise answer to "what is a curse"
Stupid question: will the continent always look the same geographically? I mean I know that some exploration card numbers exist more than once, so I guess e.g. each „018“ will always have a specific geographical layout?
This game looks amazing. Wish I would have been able to back it when it was on Kickstarter. I know it’s been said there will probably not be another Kickstarter but I’m holding out hope because the resell price is ridiculous.
Thank you for your interest in The 7th Continent. Unfortunately, the Kickstarter campaign and late pledge period have now ended. We should have some copies available on our future online store once the Kickstarter fulfilment has been completed. These should be available in April/May in limited quantities. For news about Serious Poulp's future projects, subscribe here: www.seriouspoulp.com/en/subscribe Thanks Bruno
that mean if the event show that a number with that symbol than if u used this iten u can pick the number shown in the event or the number plus 10. its like that u can climb highter
So even though you explored those areas to the west & south west, once you save the game you have to encounter a new random event to get back into them?
Sure...things change over time...just because you walked thru an area once doesn't mean you might have different encounters in a future trip thru the area.
Hm. I think we will house rule this. The way it's shown here isn't really saving to be honest. Imaging being into the game for a longer period, spent all this energy on exploring and solving events only to be set back to the very beginning...makes it pretty hard...
The events are positive and negative, while on the face of it saving seems an energy drain, it actually it allows an area to become more alive as well as allowing for more action replenishing effects like the seagull or 'free' items like the life jacket. The designers recommended 'saving' every two hours, for a multitude of reasons. There is a memory aspect to your exploration as you get lost deeper in the continent, and due to the different terrain cards with the same number, different things may happen on the same terrain, provided you have saved. Of course you can just look at the cards, write down the numbers you've been too, or leave them laid out, but that loses some of what makes this game special and also limits how the action deck/energy mechanic functions effectively. Hunting resources will be replenished after a save for example. Remember as well that saving is on the terrain tile you are on, so the choice of where to save can also be important to as not to lose progress. Regarding concerns of permanence, that is where the gold cards come into it. Once something is 'solved' for a terrain, then the gold card is used and all green cards are banished. There are many ways this can be used as part of ensuring you 'progress' without having to retrace steps too much. For those that wanted to limit saving they introduced the add on expansion 'Path of repentance' to cause events specifically related to running out of time with each save.
Michael R I would strongly consider against making a house rule before you even play the game. How much time is it going to take you to setup the continent when it consists of hundreds of cards? I don't think you're thinking this through all the way. SP's rule here is to save time and actually goes with the theme since you would encounter events (and probably different ones both with exploration cards and potentially adventure cards) again if you back tracked.
Looking great. So what are the disadvantages of combining an item? It seemed when you combined the rope and swim vest, you still had a rope item with all the abilities.... I would've thought when combining those 2 you just increased the durability of the life vest.
The only disadvantages are 1) if you combine items with the same keyword which increases the durability you can't go higher than six 2) when the stack runs out of durability all items are discarded not just the top item and 3) if you want to trade or discard combined items you must trade or discard the whole stack. So you better be sure you want it in there!
So when you draw cards you have to choose number before drawing? Like when the option is 1+ you can't just take that one, see what it gives you and then draw another if you want?
The first "turn" only comprised of one player taking an action. Do the number of turns make any difference to the game? Seems actions/turns are fluid and don't really matter especially in a single player game?
Excellent video thanks! I m new in game and still struggling to learn it. However, I don't see what's the purpose of saving the game if every tile resets. It's like starting from the beginning or what?
I know there will be a 2nd kickstarter campaign this year but this will not release until mid/late 2018 I guess; anywhere to buy this game for a "normal" price?
@@paul_w I was able to pick up the classic edition for 100 bucks. I Was not able to get the other curse expansions... but I am tempted to get WhatGoesUp,MustComeDown, but that would cost like another 80 bucks. It feels a little crazy to spend 180 bucks on game I have yet to play yet.
at 16:16 we can see a kind of replacement action in the upper right corner of the temporary card "cursed". For me it says: "Replace current grey card with green A0148". But a few moments later you replace it with a random 003 Card. So, whats the symbol in the upper right corner meaning? thx!
A0148 is the ID number of the card it’s printed on. Nothing to do with whatever card you are to take next. The icon means "replace this with the green card that belongs in this space".
You can combine it with an action that shows a flag with this symbol, too. If you do this, you add the value of the rope to the number of the Advebture card you would normally discover. This usually results in the action being more successful.
Knowing to combine a rope with a life jacket doesn't seem all the intuitive. The rules show a walking stick being crafted into a bow; sensible. There doesn't seem to be any thematic reason for doing this? Perhaps if you were required to throw a life vest out to retrieve something floating on the water, rather than say swim sure. It's just not obvious in the rules, why or when to combine certain items such as those in this tutorial. It appears to be space management more than crafting?
At about 13 mins in he discards cards because of his injury but would he had to of discarded 2 instead of one because of the red hand on the character card? I'm sure this is how serious pulp explained this to me when I asked about it in their rule book. Sorry to point this out, just making sure I play it right when I get it .
The steps are as follows: 1) reveal the state card 2) if it has the crossed out diamond, discard as many cards from the Deck as you ALREADY have red hand cards in hand (the new state card is not there yet) 3) if it has the same name as a state you already have, discard the latter 4) add the new state card to your hand So in this case, Bruno had to discard only one card (for his character card).
Hi, I have a question at the time 16:18.when you succeed to resolved the cursed card ，the card write you are able clam yourself 003，shuffle and skull(icon) cards you just drew back into the action deck。I don't see any skull(icon) card been shuffled to action card。why?
According to the FAQ this won't be seen in retail. "Given the high manufacturing costs, the fact that we do not want to cut the quality of the components and the lack of visibility as to the number of people still interested in the game, a release in the retail circuit seems excluded."
Hi Adrian, Thank you for your interest in The 7th Continent. Late pledge is available on: the7thcontinent.seriouspoulp.com/late_pledge/ Thanks Bruno PS: you'll be able to upgrade your pledge and/or purchase optional buys in the CrowdOx pledge manager when it opens later in November.
Bruno Sautter It looks like the late pledge is still open as of today (January 15, 2018). Would you know if it's still possible to add additional purchases such as the "bone" dice and the play mat to your pledge? If so, how would this be accomplished? Thanks!
Hi Adrian, Late pledge is available here until the 15th of January: app.crowdox.com/projects/1926712971/the-7th-continent-what-goes-up-must-come-down Thanks Hi Bob, Pledge Manager will close is the upcoming hours.

Hi Adrian, The Kickstarter campaign and late pledge period has now ended. For news about Serious Poulp's future projects: www.seriouspoulp.com/en/subscribe Best regards, Bruno
Curious why the cards from the past didn't get reshuffled into the respective spots in the boxes before you restarted the game. What do you mean the cards in the past get reshuffled in between "sessions"? Isn't a session considered when you save and restart?
Hi, You save, then return the cards from the Past in the base box, then (later) reload or (same thing) you save. Put all cards in the Past behind the Past divider. Then return them where they belong before reloading. Hope that helps Bruno
there are 2 ways to play 7th Continent : 1/ you play the regular rules and you do end up in a frustrating food hunt = YOU'LL HATE THE GAME 2/ you "house-rule" the food part and focus on exploration = GREAT GAME After 15h, i decided to create my own character that has special abilities : * Has a special back-pack where i could store unlimited food. * Could always make a fire for food purpose. * Could use some herbs (to add +1 or +2 cards taken back) * Had special "Trekking Shoes" = so moving was reduced by 1 card to pay for new location and going backward was free. I then didn't feel like cheating but using a unique "more balanced" mechanism and actually had fun creating this character with her "very" special abilities (based on a real french female explorer). -For "resetting the game" when going to a new location ! I just didn't do it ! Hihiii.. My table is big enough to start placing new map-tiles on another corner of it. So when i gotta come back to the previous map, i just moved back to another part of my table. -Finally, i did prefer the white box than the base game, BUT i waited 1 year before playing it to recharge my 7th continent's motivation. Will from France
The only terrain card you'll have when you reload a saved game is the one you ended on so yes you will have to explore tiles again if you wish to backtrack. Part of the fun is experiencing the random events as well as the potential for different adventure cards in the case where there is more than one of the same number. Keeping notes on where points of interest are located is probably going to be important!
Jason Sesta thx! Ok, taking a picture of the map should be part if saving a game too in order to know where to backtrack to a POI which could be important for a later stage
If that works for you sounds great! Some folks got the notepad add on and I did see that someone on BGG uploaded some really high quality custom note paper as well that has the grids you would need to jot down those POI's.
Check out One Stop Co-op Shop's video play through. He makes it very easy to understand and follow along as he goes. You may not want to watch too many of them though as they will spoil the game for you.
i dont get the save meachanic. you just returened all cards back and start at the beginning but with less cards in the life point deck and new events to beat ? thats kinda wierd casue you have to paly the whole stuff again where is the savin aspekt oO
I believe the idea is that you begin in the area that you were left off in rather than starting completely in your beginning location. I haven't played yet but if i understand correctly, it's also designed to save your inventory and other progress.
You would have the same lower amount of "life" cards in the action deck if you continued... That is what saving means, you save the point you reached, it does not mean regen or respawn ;)
One of the most innovative, beautiful , easy to learn, play and then save games ever released. A true keeper for me and hope they create similar games to this in the future. 10/10
Mortis2405 one year later....they announced a game with the same system but different setting.
easy to play?
Excellent tutorial! I tried to introduce this game to a couple friends, one of whom has a D&D background but not a boardgaming background, and it flopped a little as I'd only played once before and was a little hazy on the rules. This has helped a lot, and now I think I'm ready to have another try with my friends.
When I see the card boxes with the dividers my mind immediately flashed back to the old SRA boxes in school back in the late 70s.
I'm sooo ready to finally see other cards than the 3-4 very first cards we have been shown since the kickstarter. I need my copy. :)
I'm so stoked! can't wait
great vid, looking forward to other examples before my delivery next month.
Very nicely done video. Crisp and effective.
I've played two solo games and I love it!!!!
Great explanation of the rules in an almost tutorial format. I kinda wish the game had a short tutorial "curse" or something. Maybe something to think about for The 7th Citadel.
Hello from Spain, I played it this weekend for the first time and I love it
Thanks for this play through, the game appears to be a lot more complex than the rating on BGG, so much to remember with each step.
Great idea. More companies need to come out with how-to-plays before their games come out.
So-o-o-o agree - a how-to-play is one of the first things I look for on UA-cam. And sometimes, the video is better than the rule book. Just be careful you're watching a correct video (some have errors). :-)
I am loving it! Cannot wait to get my copy of this game!

Procedural generated adventure with no prewritten scenario, I LOVE IT. Just need prepainted miniature like mage knight
Excellent tutorial. My copy arrived yesterday and i can’t wait to play!
Very excited for this release!
Thanks for your Great Game
Definitely an innovative system - doesn't look like my type of game, but could see this system evolve into an RPG genre /drool
Hi! I've already tried the game and I'm loving. Anyway, I would like to make a technical question: how do you make the fliping card effects during the video? I'm asking because I want to make an explanatory video of the game in Spanish and I'm wondering how to make those visual effects in my video.

Thx for this video. I have a question about stacking items and using them. You put the rope underneath the backpelt. So how You can still use it (at ~24:00)? Seems I don't understand combining of items.
This is like looking to a movie :)
Great stuff! Looking forward to doing an unboxing and playthrough of this one! Cheers :)
Just to be sure, before my first playthrough: At 10:55 you do the climb action on a card your figure isn't located at. How does that work? Don't you have to move to the card to do the action?
That was a well done rules video...I really enjoyed it. Thanks
seems like you use the term "curse" for three distinct mechanics. that was the only confusing part. There is no simple and precise answer to "what is a curse"
It's almost mine!!!
Stupid question: will the continent always look the same geographically? I mean I know that some exploration card numbers exist more than once, so I guess e.g. each „018“ will always have a specific geographical layout?

The classic edition will be available on serious poulp website soon. Visit their website for more information.
Classic edition is now available, mine arrived today!
Based on what was said about the Life Jacket, does that mean you can use an item multiple times when completing one action?
No, each item (column) at most once per action, but you can use as many of its components’ abilities as you want.
Do you have plans for a kick starter campaign ? AGAIN. I want this board game so much!!
Thank you for your interest in The 7th Continent.

21:13 What does the +10 icon near the bedroll looking icon mean on that rope card????
that mean if the event show that a number with that symbol than if u used this iten u can pick the number shown in the event or the number plus 10. its like that u can climb highter
So even though you explored those areas to the west & south west, once you save the game you have to encounter a new random event to get back into them?
Chuck Polenzani Same here. I thought it was weird. Shouldn't the explored areas be saved also....?!

I would've thought when combining those 2 you just increased the durability of the life vest.
There are no disadvantages, but you have a stacking limit that depends on player count and the durability cannot exceed 6.
The only disadvantages are 1) if you combine items with the same keyword which increases the durability you can't go higher than six 2) when the stack runs out of durability all items are discarded not just the top item and 3) if you want to trade or discard combined items you must trade or discard the whole stack. So you better be sure you want it in there!
Ah ok, clear, thanks.
So when you draw cards you have to choose number before drawing? Like when the option is 1+ you can't just take that one, see what it gives you and then draw another if you want?
Hi, yes you have to choose before drawing ;)
The first "turn" only comprised of one player taking an action. Do the number of turns make any difference to the game? Seems actions/turns are fluid and don't really matter especially in a single player game?
Turns are very free. After each action, players discuss to determine who will take the next one (it can even be the player who just performed one).
Excellent video thanks! I m new in game and still struggling to learn it. However, I don't see what's the purpose of saving the game if every tile resets. It's like starting from the beginning or what?

This game sounds so awesome BUT Really annoyed that I didnt hear about this game coming out when it did so I could actually purchase a copy of it.

Thank you for a job well done.
at 16:16 we can see a kind of replacement action in the upper right corner of the temporary card "cursed". For me it says: "Replace current grey card with green A0148". But a few moments later you replace it with a random 003 Card. So, whats the symbol in the upper right corner meaning?
thx!
I meant "with a random 009 card"
A0148 is the ID number of the card it’s printed on. Nothing to do with whatever card you are to take next.
The icon means "replace this with the green card that belongs in this space".
I do not understand what the +7 means on the curse card at the bottom left next to that letter looking icon in purple.
You can combine it with an action that shows a flag with this symbol, too. If you do this, you add the value of the rope to the number of the Advebture card you would normally discover. This usually results in the action being more successful.
Knowing to combine a rope with a life jacket doesn't seem all the intuitive. The rules show a walking stick being crafted into a bow; sensible. There doesn't seem to be any thematic reason for doing this? Perhaps if you were required to throw a life vest out to retrieve something floating on the water, rather than say swim sure. It's just not obvious in the rules, why or when to combine certain items such as those in this tutorial. It appears to be space management more than crafting?
Peter Brennan well the way I see it, the life vest could technically be used as a harness with rope.
You combine them not for what they represent but because they share the same family type, thus helping you to save space in order to get on more item.
But how do you win
At about 13 mins in he discards cards because of his injury but would he had to of discarded 2 instead of one because of the red hand on the character card? I'm sure this is how serious pulp explained this to me when I asked about it in their rule book. Sorry to point this out, just making sure I play it right when I get it .
Hi, yes the "red hand" on the Character card counts as well.
The steps are as follows:
1) reveal the state card
2) if it has the crossed out diamond, discard as many cards from the Deck as you ALREADY have red hand cards in hand (the new state card is not there yet)
3) if it has the same name as a state you already have, discard the latter
4) add the new state card to your hand
So in this case, Bruno had to discard only one card (for his character card).
Hi, I have a question at the time 16:18.when you succeed to resolved the cursed card ，the card write you are able clam yourself 003，shuffle and skull(icon) cards you just drew back into the action deck。I don't see any skull(icon) card been shuffled to action card。why?
Same question...anyone?
He didn't draw any curse cards to resolve the action.
Looks great but from initial viewing of this video seems bloody confusing.
Pretty standard for a mid level game tbh
Will it be available in store or only through kikstarter?
Only through KS. In-store, the base game would cost 150-200 €.

there are 2 ways to play 7th Continent :
1/ you play the regular rules and you do end up in a frustrating food hunt = YOU'LL HATE THE GAME
2/ you "house-rule" the food part and focus on exploration = GREAT GAME
After 15h, i decided to create my own character that has special abilities :
* Has a special back-pack where i could store unlimited food.
* Could always make a fire for food purpose.
* Could use some herbs (to add +1 or +2 cards taken back)
* Had special "Trekking Shoes" = so moving was reduced by 1 card to pay for new location and going backward was free.
I then didn't feel like cheating but using a unique "more balanced" mechanism and actually had fun creating this character with her "very" special abilities (based on a real french female explorer).
-For "resetting the game" when going to a new location ! I just didn't do it ! Hihiii.. My table is big enough to start placing new map-tiles on another corner of it. So when i gotta come back to the previous map, i just moved back to another part of my table.
-Finally, i did prefer the white box than the base game, BUT i waited 1 year before playing it to recharge my 7th continent's motivation.
Will from France
Question: do I have to re-explore the entire map after a saved game?
The only terrain card you'll have when you reload a saved game is the one you ended on so yes you will have to explore tiles again if you wish to backtrack. Part of the fun is experiencing the random events as well as the potential for different adventure cards in the case where there is more than one of the same number. Keeping notes on where points of interest are located is probably going to be important!
Jason Sesta thx! Ok, taking a picture of the map should be part if saving a game too in order to know where to backtrack to a POI which could be important for a later stage
If that works for you sounds great! Some folks got the notepad add on and I did see that someone on BGG uploaded some really high quality custom note paper as well that has the grids you would need to jot down those POI's.
Jason Sesta I will have to wait anyway for the 2nd print. Missed the campain.
Not sure you’d have a camera back in 1905 ;)
The game comes with (or you can download and print) a cartographer’s notebook.
This game looks fun, but I fear it's too complicated for me.
The gameplay is really easy and intuitive.
Check out One Stop Co-op Shop's video play through. He makes it very easy to understand and follow along as he goes. You may not want to watch too many of them though as they will spoil the game for you.
i dont get the save meachanic. you just returened all cards back and start at the beginning but with less cards in the life point deck and new events to beat ? thats kinda wierd casue you have to paly the whole stuff again where is the savin aspekt oO
I believe the idea is that you begin in the area that you were left off in rather than starting completely in your beginning location. I haven't played yet but if i understand correctly, it's also designed to save your inventory and other progress.
You would have the same lower amount of "life" cards in the action deck if you continued...
That is what saving means, you save the point you reached, it does not mean regen or respawn ;)
Et en français ? x)
La vidéo en français est dispo xD
You received defective cards mate, they are written in some form of gibberish, maybe random ASCI signs? Id want my money back!
why does he refer to Killian as a she, when the name is masculine, and the player is clearly a (hairy) dude?
[this thing is bothering me a lot....]
Looks like a good video but I couldn't get past 2 minutes because everything except the voice is in French.
Damn. I've watched this 3 times. Still don't understand - this is not explain well at all. Regretting my purchase!
I am french, english is not my native language, though I understood everything...
The problem might be you.
funny how the creator of the game is such a bad teacher
