Description
SeaFall is a 4X-inspired game (without player elimination/extermination) set in an "age of sail" world reminiscent of our world.
In SeaFall, the world is starting to claw its way out of a dark age and has begun to rediscover seafaring technology. Players take on the role of a mainland empire that consults with a consortium of advisors to discover new islands, explore those islands, develop trade, send out raiding parties, take part in ship-to-ship combat, and more. As in Risk Legacy and Pandemic Legacy, co-designed by Rob Daviau, SeaFall evolves as the game is played, setting their grudges into the history of the game and building a different narrative at every table as players open up the world.
Due to the complexity of rules interactions in this game, the community (primarily Becq) has created a FAQ called The Captain's Log.

- using aromas and board games is a great way to enhance your gameplay experience
- finding a scent that matches the theme of the game you're playing is a great way to enhance the experience
- it has been scientifically proven that smell is the most powerful sense for triggering emotions and memories
- therefore it makes sense to take advantage of that during your thematic board games

Quotes (from this video)
- we're logisticating which is a fantastic word you need to use that for phantomax
- It is an awesome game I know many people have been really looking forward to this it's another game of the Legacy system it's one of those games that you're going to play and get to the stickers on mark up language some people don't like and get over it that's why you buy this game because you're going to play for many hours like you said 12 to 15 campaigns 12 to 15 games in a campaign and the whole idea is you're exploring Islands you're trying to get Goods you may be ready people and as you do you explore islands and see what goods are going to be available over the course of the game you can upgrade your ships and build some advisors and buildings I mean there's a lot going on but the structure I really like now as opposed to making three times per action you just get one one action each turn and it kind of makes the game I wish everyone was at a turn like every minute at least or less you know so it was like it was kind of risk I liked it yep that's great
- the early version of hostile takeover from countless games labs this is a board game that takes place in the Shadowrun Universe they're also going to do a miniatures game called sprawl gangers but I got to sit down with the some people from countless games and Play Hustle takeover um it's a game that's still in development it's funny when we sat down they said it was 90 95 percent done but by the time we were done myself another gentleman who played never played started giving all these suggestions and gave like 15 to 20 suggestions and they were very receptive to it um I think there's some tweaking that could be done shorten the game a little bit and make the game a little more simple and a little more coherent
- the diamonds tournament we didn't get any clips of that because we were so into the diamonds game and actually shooting it we um made lots of videos of it and we're going to put it all together into one thing but the reason why we're standing is called our buns are still store from the whooping that they gave us yesterday that was brutal yeah that was uh we were it was not pretty and Suzanne is saying enough about it I mean all night long she just kept oh did you hear we beat them yeah whatever okay thank you that's okay yeah yeah

Quotes (from this video)
- At the core of it, I really want this show to be about teaching you how to play games and then showing you how they're played so you can decide for yourself whether or not they'd be a good fit for you.
- It It's scary to be honest at times because basically I'm relying on the generosity of our viewers to donate during our yearly fundraisers that we usually hold around June time.
- I really just want to feature published games on Watch It Played. Games that are widely available that already have finished components and more importantly finalized rules.
- I really don't like recommending games ever.
- I just have a certain discomfort with the idea that someone would use my opinion as the basis for them spending money in search of entertainment.
- Speaking of which, Joel Eddie of the very excellent and highly recommended drive-thru review series asks, "Rodney, is it true that Canadians are forced to live in the forest once their igloos melt in the spring?"

Quotes (from this video)
- Pap, you still haven't received your Tekkaido that you backed at a pretty high amount because you got your own character in the game.
- It's funny. We we talked about that at some point. Just like the humor, like the humor of doing something like a pep talks where I would talk about, you know, like some advice for particular games and it's something I like that. I like that. I love that idea of a pep talk.
- Rebel Mage here uh, left a message just said, "Pep, just want to say you're a great co-host for watching play. Keep up the good work."
- For me, it's probably going to be Star Realms. Star Realms is very high on here as well for me. Um, but I kind of want to skip that just because of how repeatable Star Realms is anyway. And I'm going to go to Sheriff of Nottingham.
- Uh, this is self- serving, but I would dress up as a Mounty and be my character from the Dead of Winter promo that's in the fundraiser.
- I'd want to find something I already look like and kind of like I wouldn't just go as my favorite character. I'd go as a character that I think I that I could that I could best look even kind of naturally almost, right?
- Yes, we talk about it somewhat frequently actually. Like, oh, we should probably cover some of the old older classics. Yeah, cuz there are still people today who pick up those games and and want to uh learn how to play them, right?
- Every game. But the one that always comes to mind for me is uh Pathfinder and any game that's kind of trying to do what the Pathfinder adventure card game is doing because in that game whenever you level up and complete missions, you get like draw a random item out of the box or do this or do that.
- Like Seall has something similar to that. They have an emnity thing. If you attack someone then they remember that other players remember that in in the game's mechanics and then that comes back to haunt you later or whatever.
- The whole idea of under Mountain is like it's constantly shifting and like it's the surroundings are changing. So every time you go down, things will be a little different anyway. So it' be really cool to make like a legacy style dungeon exploring thing around the end of that naturally.

Comparison games

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- action selection — Players take a full turn consisting of hiring an advisor, buying a treasure, debating an advisor, or performing up to two actions from a chosen guild (Sail, Explore, Build, Trade, Raid, Tax).
- Campaign — Several game components and rules are hidden until unlocked over the course of playing 15 games of the campaign. The game is played over several years, each broken into a winter phase and six rounds. The game ends when the last island is discovered or a player reaches a target glory marker. Players accumulate glory over multiple games.
- Enmity Tokens — Tokens represent acts of aggression. They can be placed on province board sites or island sites. They affect raid costs and can lead to losing glory if not placed.
- exploration — Players can explore island sites by rolling dice. Successes are compared to the site's defense value. Failing can result in ship damage or sinking. Successful exploration allows players to read passages from a captain's book and place stickers on the board.
- milestones — Players can claim milestones if they meet the requirements. In the prologue, reaching multiples of three glory triggers filling island names and claiming milestones.
- Raiding — Players can raid sites on opponent provinces or islands. Raiding involves dice rolls and can result in damage to the raiding ship. Successful raids yield plunder, such as gold, goods, upgrades, or treasures, and place enmity tokens.
- Resource Management — Players manage gold, reputation, and fortune tokens. Resources like wood, linen, spice, and iron are collected and used to buy upgrades, structures, or treasures.
- ship management — Ships have a sail value and can be upgraded. Ships can move goods between holds and warehouses. Ships can take damage, be repaired, or sink.
- Title System — Players choose a province and leader, with titles determined by rank relative to other players. The player with the least prominent rank begins the game. Titles are reassigned based on campaign glory totals.
- Victory condition — The player with the most glory wins. Ties are broken by the least prominent title, then most milestones completed, then least prominent title in the final game. In the prologue, the game ends when the last milestone is collected.

- The player with the most glory then wins if there's a tie than the tied player with the least prominent rank in the game that you're concluding chooses which title they want
- The player with the most recorded campaign glory then wins and becomes emperor of all the lands
