    After watching the debate last night, I really feel like it would be beneficial to both parties to have any potential presidential candidate have to play this game in one sitting, with no bathroom breaks, no phone or watch, and blackout curtains on the windows. Maybe give them a cup of water and an energy bar.

    Me again. I have to say this video is amazing. You are very thorough and concise and your attention to detail is second to none!
    I cant wait to see the others and see how your play through plays out.
    If i have one criticism, I have to set the volume very low as you seem to shout a lot. 🤨🤨

    Great set up video - I picked up a couple of minor things I didn't do - I am in the middle of my first game - 1/4 way through the second year. As you noted on the set up cascading card, there are some unclear wordings in the game - whilst I agree with Mike that the rules say don't spend the AP, the card states you may spend AP to do the military move. To me, if you don't have APs to spend that means you can't do the movement of the military units...... I remember another table result which states - "do X to option A, option B, or option C or option D". I don't have the actual detail to hand, but the wording suggests there are 3 options (A&B or C or D) but if that were the case it should be an & not a comma. So should the first "," be replaced with an Or? Aside from minor niggles like this, the game is a massive achievement

    I have this game a few months and have not opened it. You make it sound that it can be handled but with so many steps and charts does it feel like doing a chore or is it fun and enjoyable?

      The changes/errata for 2nd edition is definitely numerous, but the first edition is perfectly fine. But if you don’t mind waiting, I’d say just wait. But you don’t HAVE to
