    So, here's one of the horror stories I heard. My friend Dr B wanted to play this game with me, he said he really liked it. So I hoped he would help teach me. Turns out, he hasn't played it since 1999 or so when he lived in Germany. And the reason he hadn't played it in 20 years was that the last time they played, one of the guys playing lost his mind and flipped the table and that gaming group imploded afterwards. Dr B emigrated to Aotearoa not long after. So I asked him
    "Wait, did you emigrate because your gaming group exploded because of this game?"
    "Well, yes......................... but I do want to play it again, you all seem much nicer"

    Some games require time and replays to appreciate. This game took me 16 years. Went from an average game to a top 10 and now I have this new addition in shrinkwrap. Just. In. Case.
    One special thing about the game...your final score is the lowest among all four color scores, so it's easy to think someone else is running away with the game through aggressive behavior only to find they've neglected one color.

    Unless the rules have changed, your scoring for revolts/internal conflicts is incorrect. Upon resolution, you only score 1 red point (nothing for the leader removed).

    An attribute I often look at in a game is the spite level. This basically reserves it at one end for my kids or at the extreme end, my work mates.
    Nice review as always!

    The win condition is a bit more complex than "the person with the most VP wins."
    From the rulebook: "Each player determines in which sphere (red, blue, black or green) they possess the fewest number of victory points, with each player freely allocating his treasures to any sphere(s)... The player whose lowest sphere has the highest number of victory points is the winner."
    So a savvy player will ensure that they collect red, green, blue, and black VPs in fairly even amounts because your big pile of 30 red VPs means sweet FA if you only have 2 blue VPs.

    This is one game where your advice on apps would have come in handy. I overplayed the app and now don't jump to play it like I would otherwise.

    I played this once, a long time ago. I don't remember where or under what circumstances. I do remember I liked it, and do want to try it again. Of course, that may be influenced by the fact that I somehow won, despite not having a clue.

      True story. I accidentally left out a line in the script when voice recording this time. And as the video ended up being nearly 4 minutes already, and I didn't catch it until i was done, i didn't go back. My mistake.

    I do have a question about the rule in conflicts. In minute 2:00 its explain that the winner takes a red token plus a black token for the líder its remove. However, i think that rules says that you only recive red token in case of revolt.... Is It a change of new edition?

    Interestingly, I couldn't follow the play a turn at all on this video. It looks interesting, I get that you play tiles, but the leaders and interactions totally overwhelmed me.

    • @robertboily9030
      @robertboily9030 5 років тому +5

      Yeah, I think what it really needed early on was "note that each player has one leader of each colour. Identifying which player owns a leader is done by its shape, and which player owns a set of tiles is done by which leader is adjacent"
      Assuming that's how it works, I couldn't follow it either

      Agreed, there are other channels on UA-cam that do a more comprehensive walkthrough of how to play. I watch videos on this channel to get the overall gist of a game's mechanics, theme, and art- without having to devote 20 minutes of rules to do so.
