The First Tsar Ivan The Terrible 4 Player Learn and Play
Transcript
He looks really hot on the box.
Yes, this guy is right there.
Is any Yeah, you agree. Today we're going to play the first star. I the terable. Thanks for 25th century for sending this along. So, let's head to the tea room. Uh this is an area control game of the areas in which we are going to try and control uh in order to get the most points which will make us the new uh SAR after Ivan the Terrible has done his one two three 40year reign.
Jeez.
Isn't Iron the Terrible Dracula that
or someone else?
That's someone else.
We can pretend
I think there is one version where there's like a Russian Dracula.
Okay. I I do recall this vaguely where it's like I think it's like set in that story and then he goes to like Transennsylvania.
Yeah, that's good.
I remember what you were talking about.
Sure.
Really crucial to the board game that we know this and I watched the video and you didn't so
Okay, so we all DLC with vampires,
a wood, a grain, and a stone.
Oh, did we all start with any money? I forgot that part.
Do you have money?
That's the first player token. Never mind.
Uh, spot number four.
I want some of whatever that is. Are you getting like
always?
Settle down, Mr. 12.
Ah, three coins each.
We don't get all the money.
Rubles.
I don't think it was the ruble back then.
Okay.
Ivan's a terrible people at this table. You would know that.
What?
You're just smart.
That's ironic.
Well, that was even worse.
Oh, the shade is out tonight.
You already got your
You're very educated. That's why.
No, you got to watch out for Stephen.
Oh my god.
Oh yeah. Steen the terrible.
Steven the terrible.
We all I I I tweeted out that the stream was going to be terrible tonight. So, uh, okay. So, we all start with three coins. a grain, a wood, and a stone. We've got buildings that we can build out. These will represent two influence in the area where we build them. We've got our uh warriors that will represent one influence wherever we build them or place them. Uh and then we have our three workers for our worker placement actions. I uh nope, that's not him. Where's the third one? This one. There we go. Uh these are the worker placement spots down here. Everyone can be on the same spot. You can't be on the same spot twice. When you go, you can also decide to throw some money at it. Any amount of money that you want, and that'll make you the most popular girl in the village.
Yay.
It'll be the you'll be you'll be the one that breaks ties. Uh or you'll be the first player there. When you're the when you are the most influential person, you get to decide because you can only do this twice out of your three actions. Um if you want to do the bonus action. Uh, and you'll just do that by placing your seal down.
That's the part I didn't get. Like, why would you want to decide like should you just do it because it's a bonus?
Well, you only get to do you get three actions, but you only get two bonuses.
Oh,
so it's more so which one of the three actions are you not going to get your bonus on?
Okay.
And or someone else may have already taken it
and like you want to not do it anymore.
But isn't that only if you're the most popular person in the
Yes. Only if you're the most popular person.
Okay.
We these seals do they refresh every
Good question. age,
they come back. Uh, yes. Each um decade.
Yeah.
Decade. We're going to go through the three eras. And then we're going to have them come back. Uh, and then we're going to do that again. And then we're going to get rid of those little tokens off the board. So, the first person who gets those tokens is going to bump up on this track. Anytime you go up on this track, you're going to go up and just shove everyone down.
You're not going up one spot. You're going to the very top. When um you take these actions, uh the card below it is where you're going to end up having some influence. Um so when you place this here, this one's not going to go anywhere, but you get a bonus here. This one you're going to send them over to any one of the cities that are in black, any one of the cities that are in yellow, any one of the cities that are in orange, or any one of the cities. Period. Uh including the gray. This is the only one where the gray one is right now. Uh and there is one that's not used each turn. So this turn it's gray. Um so this could be mixed up in any particular way. The actions the first one here is to produce. So these little shields here mean cities. So any of the cities in which you have influence you can produce. You'll get stuff. Uh some of the cities though are conversion cities.
So spend a dollar but you can produce these $2 and then spend that dollar here. That's completely valid. Uh the bonus is to produce a second time or one of those items uh twice. Night Boba. Uh the next one is to maneuver. This is how you're going to get your warriors on the board. U they're going to pop into any city that you already have a color in place. Uh or you're going to move them. Um and when you move them, you're going to travel along the riverways and you're going to pick up the trade token, get what it says, and you're going to throw it down on here. You can cover up one of these spots, too. Um, and the reason for any of this year is because you can as Oh, off the table. Off the table.
Uh, you will be able to uh do some trade. Forget how I think it might be this one. Where did that go? And we'll put that back there. Uh, we are going to have some starting uh spots on the board as well. Great. This one here is the cards. So this is the main uh point mechanic of the game is to complete these contracts. Um so here the first one is to either get a card or finish a card or get two cards or finish two cards, whichever one you want. And if you get the bonuses, three cards. Um so these are all the different types of projects. Uh and so this is what it costs. So this is a wood, a stone, and a fabric. And then it's going to give you nine points. And you're going to get to do uh uh two trade route bonuses again down here.
Three grain, a stone, and some beer. You're going to get nine points. Uh and then you can send a warrior off to war.
Um this is another area control zone at the end. So, whoever has the most is going to get four points. Whoever is the second most is two. If you're not there, you don't get anything. All ties are broken in Emperor Favor or Yeah, SARS favor. What did I say that one was? How is that selected
right now? Randomly.
Yes, I did that randomly.
Cool. I shove them up and
you have you're second most favor.
Sounds like it changes.
Oh, glad you're not there.
It changes quite a lot.
Uh down here is to exchange. Uh so you can exchange any two goods for one and uh you will also get a foreign good as a bonus. Um, and then as a double bonus for being the most popular person here, uh, you'll get a second warning good. Uh, this last one here is the take an estate card. Uh, or a title card. These are endgame bonuses. The titles uh, and the estates are um during game uh, each round you can use them once and you'll tap them.
Oh.
Um, so once per round you could spend a coin to get a card. You could spend two coins to go to the top of the favorite track. You could spend a coin to get a beer. That seems very popular.
And what we've got for titles, uh, for each of your pieces in the east, you'll get a point. For each of your pieces in the north, you'll get a point. For each of your spoils, that's these tokens here. And each trading um token that you've managed to collect, uh, you'll get a point. Oops. Um, and so those are going to give you more endame point objectives. But most of the points are here and then second ones are there. Uh, as well as winning the areas because when you win these areas, you can get these bonuses. All the second half of the bonuses are straight up points or the first half is going to be any one of those same icons that we will have become used to by the time it matters.
Um, so there was some finishing setup we needed to do. You're going to have to pick one of your uh objective cards here and then we're going to throw the other ones away.
Do the colors mean anything?
Uh they're the ones that that they all have the same bonus that are the same color. So all the white ones are this bonus, all the blue ones are this bonus and all the red ones are this bonus.
Um so it's construction trade.
Okay. And
are these the lake like uh like
rivers? Yeah,
rivers. Yeah.
Um I don't know what either of these are. This one is the lowest of the two points. And so then this one seems easier.
Do we have to show like what we picked or I guess
it's fine. So we're just taking one. Remind me. Just going to reveal what I have. Remind me what the bonus is of building a city.
Uh you're going to have influence on the board permanently.
Okay, great.
Um so we want to keep up our influence number so we can get the points.
Um the buildings are worth two influence. The warriors are worth one influence. And your um Bayor is worth also to influence.
The guy in the video kept saying what I it was like either warrior, lawyer, or I think it was Bayor. And
yeah, so there's a Bayor and a warrior.
Yeah. His pronunciation of both was the same.
Yeah. Oh,
it's Bayor, not Bayor.
Mhm. Now in beginning with the first player which is me. Uh and then the first player was decided by who was left of the person in left on the track.
Is this part of the game?
No, you can put that back up there.
I had to open
over here.
Yeah.
Had to open the game. New Russian roulette.
I'm the most popular.
Yeah,
I'll make myself.
Okay, so I placed one of my warriors into any city with no warriors in them, which is all of them. Um, the warrior will let me move and pick up trade and stuff. So, let me put it near um something that I need to complete my goal. [clears throat]
And uh there's only one of those on the board, so I'll just go right here because it's pink. And then I believe we just keep going clockwise. Oh,
you vaguely remember goals existing.
Uh, and then we'll do it backwards. So, it's a snake trap. So, you'll place two.
Can you explain to me like what the difference between like this supply and that supply is?
Uh, these are the foreign goods and these are the local goods. So, these ones Oh, sorry. I didn't explain free actions. That's why you have these free actions on your turn. Uh, so you can uh spend two of these to get a coin. You can spend one of these to get a coin. Uh or you can discard two of these to uh take a card.
And what do those coins do again?
Uh they are how you're going to be popular. You are
buying the government
or you can spend them on things like this or
or you can spend them on your trade. You can spend them for stone.
Those are primarily only through here trade.
Got you.
Unless you buy this car two for one. Yeah. And that one was you buy beer. You got like a beer contract going on.
Is that actually beer?
Yeah, it's like beer cloth and
that sounds like a use
gun. Oh, what's the
textile and steel?
Oh, okay.
And grain, wood, and stone.
Yeah,
I'm pretty sure green is supposed to be yellow, though.
If it's green, it's hopp. So,
you're right. It's very hoppy looking.
Uh, okay. So, Sam, you get to place out a warrior. the warrior.
The guys with axes are more these icons. Send a warrior from your supply to the field of war. So that's what the red ones do. The white ones allow you to allow you to build a building. Place a building from your supply in any city that contains another piece of your color and no other buildings.
Okay.
How do I become popular again? Which one was that one?
Uh, you just put money down when you're done.
When I'm done.
If you don't put money down, this is the popularity ranking.
Great.
How come you didn't put anything down on
We haven't done that yet.
Okay. your everyone's face is there.
This is we're just finishing a set right now so that you have so if you do the maneuver action, you actually have something that you can do.
Okay, that makes sense.
Um and if you do if you somehow complete this and you can build, you have somewhere you can build.
Sounds good.
Um because not everyone's going to get to do the exact same things they want to do.
Do we put everything like until there's no
stuff is mine? And then you will place juice.
Yes. Um,
what was your question?
I forgot. I think I'll just figure it out.
Okay.
Yeah, you'll figure it out.
I think we're all just like going to have a nice relaxing day.
Yeah, it seemed it seemed intimidating, but it's really not. It's a very simple worker placement resource
collection with some uh area control. What are you doing? What are you doing? Cause
I was saying cosmic. I just called b cosmic.
Is it sit down? snakes back.
Oh,
yes. So, now you get to play again.
One.
Yes.
Okay.
Bo, that is enough. Go lay down or I will shut the door.
Sorry.
You know better.
Don't be annoying. We just started.
Yes. I know. You love to be on this camera when you don't like regular camera.
I just realized this says Tuckan. Oh, it's
Where do you see your duck? Oh, now I see it.
Turd. Yum.
Cuz it looks like a turd. Patty. Uh,
I think it is your turn, James. Yeah.
Okay. I'm like, dude,
it is your turn.
Well, no one's all here in the north. You fool. We'll surround you and then you can't escape.
I will take Siberia.
Actually, it's taking Siberia West, isn't it?
Where are we here in like Russia anyways? I don't think this is geographically accurate.
Well, I don't want to blame it. If if Moscow is the center, we can put
Oh, there. Okay. I'm like, is there somewhere I recognize? Aren't you supposed to put two?
I had to. Okay.
Okay. And now we begin the actual N of the N. I'm going to go here.
Can you retroactively pour more money into your Oh, okay. Good. Oh, okay.
Yeah. So, your bid is your bid. Um, and then you get to bid on what you want to do. And then after we've all done bidding, we will then resolve who is the most popular crowd in town.
But everyone gets the primary action.
Yes, you will always get the primary action.
Great.
Uh, so Sam, you get to pick the one of the actions you want to do. And we're going to do three actions each round. So,
I want to be pump. Now, [clears throat] you don't have to spend two because you already are more popular than other
unless Joanna's gonna go there.
Unless you think,
yes,
we're not going to do
that. She could still do the two.
I could still do it, too.
Yes. No, she does, too. She would also
I would love if she
It's my turn. I'm thinking
I want cards.
Mhm. You can do it, too. I'm like the two coins cuz I am somehow last here. Somebody else.
At least you're not bitter.
I am bitter.
I'm really bitter about it.
Um then James can still get too and just
How soft is this taffy? Um, relatively once it gets a little warm, so don't like bite hard into it. But
I'm just going to see where things I know. I want to do this.
Yeah,
I'm just gonna see where things lie.
Yeah, that makes sense.
Um,
that'll come with my three coins. And
there you go.
I didn't pay attention to what I have there. I have pls and I have wood. Um, so I would need to get into a place with stone, which is relatively nearby, so moving would work. Um, and I would want to get some cards like these cards. I want a cool first.
Now, also, these will only refresh at the end of the round. Um, so when if all three of us go after titles and you come in here, you won't be able to get title.
But if I come in with two coins, I can.
Yes, you would.
That's what I'm going to do. I was hoping that you all would not play coins.
Terrible.
No production.
No, wait. We need uh we need goals. Oh, do these ones refill?
Wow.
I know. I wanted
She did the thing.
Yeah,
it's probably like spending too much money too soon cuz that doesn't refill
this one. This one re refill. And if you don't like any of these, you can also take blindly from the top.
Great.
So, I can automatically have the highest influence for these two things. Right.
Yeah. I think I messed up the focus.
Can you do Can you resolve these in an order? Any order you choose? What is the order we resolve them in?
I think you I don't know
cuz if it's from left to right, this is going to be different. But just like
I'm pretty sure it's
it's uh in um we we continue clockwise. So you'll pick which ONE YOU WANT IN CLOCKWISE.
So
So would have to do this one first.
No, but if she didn't, she might lose out.
Yeah,
because this could change
between each one of your um
Got it.
moves. I think this is a little bit out of focus because everybody else didn't feel like rocked.
Okay, great. Yay, we did it. Who gets to go first?
I'm just going to fix the focus here.
Is Yeah, it is James. It's not the James.
Actually, I will double check because but I'm making sure everyone can see. Okay. It's not letting me change the bloody quality. So, I can check 2K. Oh my god. Come on. Full screen. Oh, no. It's relatively clear. Never mind. Uh, okay. Um, so action phase.
I like your style.
Players, take turns starting with the first player. During your turn, move one of your boyers out of the gremlin chamber and on the corresponding assignment card,
you build cities.
And then if your boyer is the most important in the chamber, depending on the number of coins out of the boy, you can place your seal in the chamber if there's no seal already there.
Okay, so this is how it went down. Am I popular anywhere? Nope. So I think I'll just get first pick here. Um, and I can get uh either a idol or what's this one called? Estate. So, the estate are onetime actions per round. Per round. Um, no. Let's go with I want to I will be the king of the north. And then you get to take an action. Okay. was confused by the turn order. Okay.
As was I. I did kind of feel like you'd be bidding for turn order, but it's Yeah, it's kind of uh different. So, having the most favoring favor really only is what grants you access to this.
Yes. If it's still available by the time your turn comes.
Is this one like a this or this situation? Like it's like you choose.
You get both, don't you?
Uh which part? Sorry.
This part. Uh you will always do this part.
No, but there's two symbols.
Any two goods for one good,
right? But you also get one of the
and or coins and then you also get an an exported good imported good.
Okay, I see.
And the infinity sign is just you can do the two goods for one good as much as you want.
So can I get like like Oh, it's like you have to exchange two for one.
Yeah, you can do that and you also get a lux of foreign good.
Yeah. Okay.
But you only get the foreign good once.
Are there like are there little plastic or wood pieces for the foreign goods?
Can I have it so that way if I I give two goods, can I have like a coin instead?
That's a free action.
Yeah, the free action is to give two goods for
You can do that at any time.
Oh, I see. This is to convert what you have excess into what you need
because you based off of whichever project you're going to try and fulfill. I don't really need anything. I just want the export. Like the
You can do that.
Uh each uh effect is optional. So you don't have to do that first trade. You could just get the export.
Okay. But I can't, for example, have two for an export, right? It's only the ones that are not.
Yeah. Yeah. You can't trade like two regular goods for an extra export.
Oh, here. I don't think so.
So I'm not going to do that. a two for one of just regular goods or
I exchange any number of your goods and or coins for any goods and or coins at a rate of two to one.
Great. So, you can trade for
That's what I'm going to [ __ ] do.
Great. Great. I'm excited.
Okay. I think it's the map, right? Where is the purple one?
That is the purple one. Okay. I thought they would be like the same. So,
are you taking two of those?
Yeah.
Yeah. Nice. Um,
now it is unclear if you can take it. No, no, it just said any goods. And this rule book's been relatively reversed, so I'm going to go with any.
I think that makes sense cuz you have to fight to get there. And then it's like it's expensive enough that I
Plus, he got bumped.
Cool.
Uh, which one were you?
The black one.
Oh, I actually think I did something wrong here. I think I was also supposed to move this.
That's the wrong Sorry. Black is this one. But
Oh, so are you the most popular?
No, I'm the most popular.
You're not.
But I have two coins. Oh, no. [ __ ]
I I also put down two coins.
I wanted to be the most popular.
Oh, so you get your money back.
Thank you.
[ __ ] yeah.
Okay.
Uh, take Cher's regular action and then if you placed your seal in it, also the bonus action, right? Yeah. So, I was supposed to move this into a city. So, since I took the card going after the north, and then this is any colored city, let's go for an exchange city. So, I can spy stone. Uh, now you also get to do the same, but you have to pick a red city.
Cool.
Let's do it, [ __ ]
That's produces two points, you produce.
Okay. Um, and anytime you can do any actions. Cool. And then join that.
Great. I'll do the goods one. I'm going to put my special seal there.
You are the most popular, right?
Yes.
So, your money goes away.
My money also comes back.
Do I put my little special seal there?
And then you throw your seal down here. Seal the deal.
Yeah,
I am.
I'm going to take um a metal steel.
I'll go ahead and take I'll just take two metals. Thank you. And then do I get to place my little guy?
Yes.
Okay. And is the goal to diversify because like don't these guys come back at the end of the round? So like
Yeah, these ones will come back. So it's really kind of um production as well as area control because they won't come back until after we've done the scoring for the area control.
Okay. Okay.
Um so right now since you're blue, you and I are tied here or all three of us are tied here. So you might want to throw down in one of these cities. Yeah. Um, where else did I get blue? Same here. You're want to throw down.
I would love my guy. And we'll go on. Kazulk.
It has to be red, doesn't it?
Has to be a red one.
I mean, you'd still be in the region to compete.
Can I go with someone else? Is that
Oh, wait. Actually, uh, these are all ones anyway. So, this is worth two. Remember that.
But can can I go with something else?
You can go with someone else. It's just now neither of you two will be able to build there cuz you have to be got it
alone. Um, actually it said no other build. The back says no other buildings in the rules. It had said like um where there's a presence or well it said uh your own color. So let me just double check that. Excuse me.
It's almost your turn. It is.
Yeah, it is your turn right now. Hi. Um, okay. Uh, we wait for something for you.
No.
Okay. Moving on.
Yeah, go for it.
Going to do this one. Great.
I do have the majority, so I'm going to use my seal thing.
You get your dollar back,
your coin.
Seal. So, that means I get two windmills. One.
You can pick. It's either either
or one of those
and a window.
Yeah.
Lay down.
I know I should have done that. I just feel like I don't have coins.
Okay. Just want to get coins.
Lay down.
Okay. [snorts] Um, great. So then that and I'm going to place my go anywhere. I'll keep fighting.
Okay. You no other buildings. So, as long as there's no opponents building, you can still build there.
Great. So, any of us can build anywhere at this point, pretty much
got it. Never mind. I'm gonna go over here.
Okay.
I want coins, but I want it. So,
be mean.
Oh my god. You guys are going to fight.
Well, I [clears throat] go down here. I'm going to exchange these two for some purpley goods. And I'm going to get blue steel. And then I'm going to pop up into
person's worth two. And there's a bunch of There's two blacks over there. One ones and one's over here. Let's cop down to here. That's also a two. Darn. Just tie it all up over here.
Cool.
Sorry, but I'm not. Yeah, that's my turn.
Okay. And so you're not the most popular, so you just get the one side. You can get a card and or take two cards.
Get a card or take two cards. Yes. So, you can take two or complete two or take one and complete one.
I'm going to complete one and take one.
Okay. Sail away. Sail away. So, that one is a trade project.
Oh, eight points.
I'm a trade.
So, give yourself eight points.
Oh, yeah.
I'm black.
You're gray, aren't you?
No, never mind. You're black.
She's black.
Um, so you get to take two of these actions. So, you only have the two three printed ones anyways.
Three or three, sorry. So, you can get two more points. Um, two money, two hops.
Let's do two more points.
You get to do two things. Oh, and now you are
No. Oh,
the most popular baby. What do I do with this one?
You keep it.
Okay.
Because I can't don't know if any one of those things. Uh, but you [snorts] also get a second thing.
I want
two money or two.
I want two money. So, you get a second one because you got the thing.
Yeah. So, he gets two trade icons. Now, if you had these on your board, you could have picked between them, but you'll only be able to pick between those three.
And so, keep that to the side.
Sorry, what are those again?
Sorry, can you can you explain to me what those are?
Uh, that's these circles.
Oh,
so there's three preprinted on the board in case what happens what you did. And then you can also get more of them and you can also cover these up
so that when you complete a trade contract you can exchange those in
and to move again. How do you do that?
Uh that's the maneuvers basically. That makes a lot of sense.
I thought for some reason that meant like that I could take two but that makes more sense.
Now your other part of your action is you still get to uh take a card because you can't complete another card. You don't have one.
Cool. I feel like the area control is really not that important much more in these contract cards.
I think so too as I watch the video.
Yeah.
Okay. And now you need to place yourself into a yellow city.
Do I have to just hide it or does it matter? I guess that's
Well, I guess I mean we would know what you had but uh and then you have to pick a yellow city. They're up here.
I'll do this guy. He's going to grab this one final point card. He's going to go here. Thank you.
Sorry my throat. Um
Uhhuh.
Wait, doesn't that mean like she's not the most popular one anymore when she did that? Yes, but that uh but this spot is
But it was already taken by
already taken. So when you go here, you'll be able to do it.
Okay. Do this action.
Um
I know. I think I got to actually think I want to do this tree thing. I just want steel for that. It's going to go.
Oh, this is pieces. It can be anything. You don't get treats when your head's on the table, mister.
We don't even know how important.
I don't either. But like
now you're winning the area. That's all I
We're tied, aren't we?
Well, you would get this two points or uh you get first pick of this and then whoever's second gets the other thing.
You're still going to win your That's true. Okay, that's um that's a three. randomly decided.
We will also turn in a card and wood and a textile for seven points. And I get to build a building where I have one of my colors. So, we'll put it in and go away.
Well, you got really building excited when I played.
It's my building.
I'm the most popular Yeah, I have to go wide so people can see your face on the table.
Is it my turn?
You see the goose got here.
And then I grab one.
Yeah.
Nice.
Are you most popular?
You have the money to be the most popular. So
now no one else can.
That's true.
Lay down.
Unless there's another one.
Place this in any city. Oh, thank you. Can you lay down, please? Oh, I forgot to place my dude in a city. Lay down. Yeah, but he's going to come off before we score, I think.
No.
Uh, let me double check. Still looking.
I think we're only scoring those regions.
We're only Okay.
Uh, we're only going to score these twice. The beginning, uh, in the middle, and at the end of the game,
that's going on that guy. Um, so
just a quick question.
Oh, I didn't take a card. Remember the trigger?
Yeah, you should do that.
Uh, it was the blue steel one.
The blue steel. Yeah, that's why I went and got the blue steel because there was a lot of blue steel out here at the time.
Blue steel. I
steel.
Okay, so I'm going to resolve this uh with my one of three actions I can take. That's those two.
Um just a quick question.
Um when can we use the things that were like in the city? It's like those types of actions
when you do the production action.
Oh, okay. Okay, now I understand. Okay, so I get seven points and I get to build a building. Um, and I just put my resources here, so I'm have to reach across. This is our
um just put this here, so I don't really know to do.
Uh, and then I get to take two cards. I'm realizing building kind of sucks. Um, you can just blindly take from the pile as well.
Yeah,
just take one.
Risky.
Oh, I didn't even change my titles. Oops. I'll grab this one for for war purposes.
So, you have to place this as
uh Yeah. yellow. It's kind of pointless. Um, [clears throat] actually, I'll get a second thing. Any of these locations. And this is three points. I'll do that one.
What?
What a face.
Okay. Um, my turn. Here we go.
I will fulfill something. I'm gonna use this one time ability,
right?
To give me a beer.
It's all I needed. Um, and then I'm going to fulfill this thing. So, it's one wheat, one wood, one deer, one steel.
Nice.
That's 10 points.
Nice. And you get to invade.
I don't know what that means, but what is invading again? I flipped some things over. You put like a warrior out there. I really don't know.
James,
she did watch the video.
I did watch the video.
So, I just fulfilled this. I got all my points and stuff. I don't know this invading.
You get to place a warrior in here.
Oh, also I think these are supposed to be face up now cuz you think you get to take a spoil of war.
A spoil of war?
Yes. Can I be the most popular? popular killing. The person who has contributed most to the war gets points.
It's the end of the game though, right? Or the end of the round.
Uh end of two rounds and end of the game. [clears throat]
Okay.
Um so you'll get to go into here and take one of these tokens.
I'm going to take popularity.
Do I get to do this right now?
Yes.
Jeez. [ __ ]
Uh which one was that? Yeah, but like popular my question,
right?
One day the tar is going to die and you're going to be
until then
top [clears throat] dog. Not you both. Sorry.
Okay. Um and then I place this guy in yellow.
Hi dogs.
Oh no. I need to grab another card, too. Could that have been refilled? No.
Yes. Unless it was you or No, it's immediately anyways.
So, you resolved one and now you're getting one.
It says immediately anyways on this one.
Um, cards, cards, cards. You did a military project into the field of war. Take a spoils token from there and immediately resolve the tokens effect. If you have no warriors remaining, you just gain victory points. Maybe you need to waggle your fing your your fingers.
It was helpful. Okay. Say popular.
I want to be popular.
Okay. I think I'm sorry. I'm I'm finishing.
Okay. Okay. So now it's the end of the round.
Not as quiet as.
All right. So starting with region number one.
We have got black with one, two, three, four. So you get to take a card or three points.
Which card do I take?
One of these projects.
Let's get three points.
Okay. And then blue is at two and white is at three. So you get to take a cart. White does.
Yes.
That's another thing. White keeps taking from
10 minutes started.
Oh,
there goes the finger.
They're literally all the second edition.
They're very different. Everyone sick over this.
See like we're bullying cuz you used to be popular.
You're probably going to be popular again. You have money to buy your popularity.
Listen, bullying is okay unless you can get popular.
It's true.
I I do think some people should be bullied. Me? No,
I can't buy this. Honestly,
we don't tolerate tolerate
for my popularity. Some of you were just given it in the beginning of the game.
Okay. Two. You've done two times. two. Okay, so I have two, three, white's got four. Blue's got four, five. No, white's got So, blue and white have five. White wins. You get to pick um a state or two points.
Um, black, did you grab your points last time?
Sorry.
Yeah, I did the three points.
Yeah, I took the three points. I I moved it already. Oh, sorry. I moved you instead of
make you
like I don't think I'm in the lead.
Um I will take a card then.
Okay. And then Joanna, you get two points.
Okay.
So, because there's no cards, is it refill?
I know we've asked that question before.
Um but I don't think we're getting any more cards, right?
All right. Region three. We've got four for black and three for blue. So, you can choose three points or stick a warrior in the field and get one of these bonuses. Warrior,
which is also a three point.
Okay. And then so you take three points and then Joanna takes three points. Yes, you keep
three. One, two, three.
Okay. And then this one me
I can build where I have presents or I can get two points. Let's build that. Um, this might come off the board, but this one won't
pieces in the north. You activated each of your piece. Yeah, I just want All right. Now, bring back your boyers. See, every time he said it, I thought he was saying voyer.
Oh, oh, well, that's a different kind of game.
I don't think you're really popular.
Hi. Hi. Hi. Do you want all your attention so you go away?
So, you go away.
Wait, those are warriors, right?
Yeah, they all stay put.
They always stay.
Yeah.
And they're worth two each.
One.
They're worth one. Oh, these things are worth two.
Yeah. Yes.
And buildings are worth two. And then we get these replenish four or three.
Three.
It's in the completed section.
No, you keep that. Never mind.
No, you should get rid of it.
See, cuz each of your building projects completed.
Thank you. That's so good.
And a set of them. Uh,
okay. Now there's a player to the left of the blue. You're our first player. Okay. And then we go clockwise
layer to the left of
wouldn't it be same except
Oh yeah.
Okay, that's fine.
You go first.
Okay,
so now we're planning.
Okay, we like the problem.
Okay, how are we going to do this then?
We actually don't change these things here.
Oh, right. This also changes. Thank you. And we're on 15 now. So at the end of this round, those will go away. So getting points early to move up will be gone. We will score these cards.
Okay?
As well as this here and this here.
Okay.
Um we will replenish this and we'll replenish these.
Actually, we'll get rid of all those and replace them with the other 10. Oh, you still got the knower.
Production. William wants to do extra. So, you'll get to do three productions and one of those that you choose will get to produce twice and you can produce here and here.
Cool.
So, you might want to get people on the board if you want needed other resources. What do I need? Stuff that I do not have. Oh, I do have stuff in need to do that and that
and that. Excuse me. Okay. Got it.
So sorry do these don't give me anything. Just doing the fake out with the moving it around. I don't know. resources at the end. These ones will be 2 to one and then everything else is 3 to one.
So if you do collect all your money and don't use it, it's worth a point. So that's like I might as well just use this money.
and me again.
Yeah.
Okay. Um, for the produce, how many can you produce for just the base action?
Three.
Three cities.
Oh,
and then the advances one of those cities, one of those three gets double the production.
Okay. Um, can you place your guy before you produce?
If you have this action and you choose to do this first. Yes, because you will choose which order you execute your actions in.
No, but like this guy, you can't like place this guy for the like if I put this guy here, I can't place him first and then do the action.
I don't think so.
Okay.
She wants to like place her boy out and then do the thing so she can produce him.
Oh, no. You do uh this and then you put
Okay, that's fine. And then Okay, we're good. I figured it out.
I get where you're going.
Thank you.
Um, do this.
Okay, Sam, you get to pick which action to do first. Okay. And you are the most popular person there. So, you get to um put up to three people out and or move up to three times or mix and match if you like there.
Okay.
Especially since you're going to be doing some production later.
I will sure am. So, I'm going to move this guy here.
Okay. And that gives you two points and that token. Take two points. And then I can move two more times. Right. Correct. Okay. I did not plan that. I thought I could only move once. Just give me one sec. Now, can you move directly into the warrior field or can you only do that via
place a warrior or move them
back on top?
No, he doesn't get that. That's just a thing. He gets the trade thing,
but he doesn't get it out right away. Just he gets it right away.
Right away.
Did he get two points, too?
You should put your little seal on the thing. So, you only have one.
Yeah. Where?
You were doing Well, are you going to do that because you get one more move still? If you do.
I thought you Oh, yeah. Do you Do you want to use it or not?
No.
Okay, there you go.
Maybe.
So, then you don't get an extra
We can't We have to re We can reuse the seal the next turn, right? You get two seals to use this round of this be effective.
I don't think Let me see. I don't think it's worth it because I won't get anything.
Maybe.
Well, you get to produce in three different cities.
Yeah. Yeah. No, I just feel like is it worth putting the seal? I think I don't think it's worth it.
Okay. Join him. So, now you want to place your guy and you have to go on to a red city.
Oh, right. All right. So, you will have three places that you can produce anyways. So, you will be able to produce four hops and a wood.
Wait a minute.
This one.
Okay. Well, cool. I think Nope. That's what I wanted
cuz you can't produce the same city twice
unless unless you seal. All right. Um I'll do um the goods. Uh this this one so yeah
and I'll choose most popular.
Do it. Okay. So do I get to choose a thing or what?
But you do get um an extra dollar.
Okay.
Where do you get to pick between those two?
I think you only get this if you're the seal.
I think so. Yeah. I [snorts] just want that color.
There's my hair for me if that's the case. Um, I will go ahead and take a cloth.
Did you give me a purple?
No.
Jam's action endless. Yeah. So, you just get a dollar.
Okay. I took the dollar. Um, let's see. Do I want to trade two for one? Yeah, I'm going to trade um these two for what?
Yeah.
Oh, no. It doesn't get to go anywhere.
It just stays until the end of the room.
My bad.
Oh, you're good. I wish it could go somewhere. Oh, he's dead. Okay.
Oh, that's good.
Right.
We have third person out there to produce.
Yes.
Yes. Um,
yes.
I feel your pain.
Oh, okay.
But you can get the good you want. You mean
if you produce first and then trade.
Yeah. I just don't really have things to trade. That's what I was hoping to Yeah.
That's why like you might be able to produce first and then trade two of those into one.
I know. I just don't have enough to produce. I mean, I do. two coins and two wheat. But I needed both of those things.
Sorry. One moment.
You're fine. If
I do that.
Hi.

And then This has to be.
Are you going to seal it? All right. I think you should. I totally Yeah. I want to Take an extra exotic resource. [clears throat]
The wrong stamps that one.
It's just a dollar. You're bribing everyone.

That one for sure. And then, sorry, can you remember the two to one thing? I always forget.
Any two resources are or money. So, you could convert those $2 you have to a resource or a dollar and your stone to a resource.
Those are the You convert $2 to a resource.

You can.
Yeah.
Okay. [snorts]
Anything

I did. I'm trying to have these
and then you got for
Did you do the exchange or you just took your
I didn't do the exchange. I don't sure if it's worth it. So it is. And then you get another resource as well.
Yeah, I did. I got both of the resources that I won.
Okay.
Yeah. So then you also get a coin and you're already on top. So you get a point. Oh, nice.
Okay, cool.
We're both taking a
We're sleeping next to each other.
No. Okay, we'll do the card resolve action.
Okay.
Uh
I am not the most popular.
I am not the bell of the ball, unfortunately.
Me.
No, I will.
Resolve this one for a fabric.
I'm doing my turn. uh fabric, wood, and wheat.
Nice.
I get seven points. So, you and then I get two trade actions.
And I will go ahead and have two points.
Nice. So, that puts you on top.
Yes. Um
Yes.
And then
now, so in this case though, because they paid, they're still on top. on [clears throat] top
and then
All right,
go ahead and I'll take
I'll just take two extra dollars. Um I had a question. So this is for each trade, but that's for like these symbols.
Uh a pair of these and those.
Okay. For each spoils and Okay. So I need can I like pair them together or doesn't really matter. Yeah, you need to.
I don't have any of them. So,
um, and then I will place my little guy
on a white city.
Yes.
White whip.
Um, I have to do math now and figure out what else. Who else can go to White City?
Oh, you took the white and me. Well, you know, I'm going in the north because I get points in the north.
One, two, three. Oh, whatever. I'll go here next to my other guy. Actually, no. Okay, I realized why it was important. Sorry.
Right. Cuz you're going to produce.
Yes, I am going to produce things. It's all coming together. Um, what do I need?
Wheat.
I need
Oh, you want to do it a third time? like a
I'll do I'll do stone. Um
I also get a second card. I haven't done that yet cuz I just took I resolved one card.
Totally. And then
um

Isn't that really your turn, don't we?
No, I know. I'll go ahead. Good. This is annoying. Take a blind one. Oh, it's a good plan.
Choices.
Okay, do this one. I'm going to do the two trading in thing.
Nice.
One feels silly to trade two for a wood, but And then I am going to grab an exotic resource, which will be fabric.
Nice.
So exotic.
As well as [clears throat] a coin.
[clears throat]
Okay, it's my turn.
On corpses.
You want to be on tab?
Why don't This feels like What's happened?
What do we The big deal.
Maybe we just all stand up.
Okay. And we're just
I'm going to produce two coins, a wood, and two hops. Two coins, a wood, and two hops. Right. And then I'm going to head on to the north. Okay.
I can't spell my own domain name right.
Funny anymore.
Oh, there's different colors. I think so. of which
I thought it was like a used and unused side.
No, because in a two-player game you get three of them. So, they split the colors based off of what you want to know each time.
In a four player game, you only get two.
Okay. So, then I got three choices of like where I am.
Three production and one let me get twice.
Do you have a choice?
Just a question like three like can I does it have to be the same one or can it be like individual?
Three different cities.
You have to produce those three and you choose which one you want.
Yeah. So, you're going to get four wheat and one wood no matter what.
Okay.
And then you get to choose if you want two more wheat or extra wood.
Yeah. I'm going to get extra wood.
You're going to be the wheat king.
I am too live.
I have to move this guy
to a black one. Mhm. H Why does it think I'm not live on YouTube? You're like, "Yeah, you're guaranting a second."
Um, I'll go for resources obviously because that's all I can do at this point.
When did this happen?
It happened when I got the 20 point marker.
My god.
Remember?
I don't remember.
Oh, okay. So, I get two wheats.
Petridge Farm remembers.
Yeah,
I get to trade a dollar for um one stone and I get $2, which is good enough. And I would love my little gun to go to to
up in the I am.
Okay. Well, I am gonna do this and do my seal just because um I will fulfill this guy
for nine points.
Nice. You're
Please
19.
Yeah. Um, and then [clears throat]
wait, I haven't done this before. I gained two of these things.
Yeah. So, you can do four points or you can mix it up. You could get wheat
or money.
Um, I'm going to do two points and two wheat.
Great.
Great. Um, and then I get two.
I can't.
That's only one card that you did though. I have another I have another two. I can't complete this.
You can just grab two more cards.
Just grab two more [clears throat] for these.
Don't judge me.
Just do what I did and grab a random one on the top. That would suck. It's
actually a pretty good random one.
That's good.
Okay, that is my turn. Nope, it's not. Oh. Okay. Hi.
Or not.
It does kind of matter. I'd like a good second.
No, I was put.
Okay, James, your last turn here.
I hate technology. Bleachwood, blue steel. Build up in here and get eight. Looks like the Home Alone House.
What about Home Alone?
Like it looks like the Home Alone house.
It does kind of. [clears throat]
And then I got to take a card. We got left over a single hop.
Not that popular.
Yeah, I know.
As the most popular, I say it looks like the
with the onion root. This looks like the whole Russia. Okay. It's snowing and the snow is on the roof.
In these per perfect like boulders.
Who invited us?
Bizarre.
You just don't have the vision.
I don't think that Sar is going to like you in court when I tell him. Oh, wait. there anywhere I can tie so I can get something.
What are you doing?
Oh, you have to play in black.
I have two. You're right.
You have to play it in black, don't you?
No, it's gray.
Uh, this was
Thank you, Sam.
You're welcome.
It's fine.
Okay, so end of round time. Dog dog dog. Okay, so we said we do this first. So get rid of that 30. Oh, wait. No, it said does back. Sorry. We are doing this part first.
Okay.
Um,
so it goes back. Uh, I guess so because I guess you could technically get it and then rearrange that and then it would pop up. Uh, okay. So, region one, we have four to your three to your two.
Yeah.
Um, I will pick two points cuz I'm so far.
You get hots and wood or sorry. Yeah. Two hoes turn. Regent two. We have two, three, four. You can pick a blue steel or two points.
Can we flip this so I can make it?
Yes, you can. Um or and then second place is going to Joanna.
Great. So, take your time. Okay. I'll take the I'll happily take the blue steel. Okay. And then over here, we've got Joanna. two points for um throw a warrior.
I will put a warrior somewhere.
Where's the warrior going
in a city with another piece of your color? [clears throat]
Warriors is actually
Can you have two buildings of the same
when I bring Oh, yeah. Um and then uh Sam, you get two points.
Okay. And then so then this is me for I'll take two points. Great. And Joanna, you get a textile. Great.
Okay. Now, at the end of the second round, discard all size SARS favors token. So, we ended up discarding that anyways. Uh, score points, replenish spoils, and trade tokens in return. Okay. Okay. So, our points,
discard any trade tokens left on the map. Oh, okay.
So, we're getting new ones. Oh,
okay. Like, I didn't even get to use the mechanic. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. Okay, that would was supposed to be here. Okay, so these can go out. Uh, gain victory points according to your title card. So, I get one point for each piece in the north. That's one, two, three, four, five pieces in the north. four points and then two for each building project. That's another four points.
One, two, three, four.
Thank you. Um, ma'am, you do have a title pair and
I have two points for each in the east.
In the east.
Okay. Uh, most warriors down here. So, there's a tie. So, Sam gets the most warriors. Sam, you get four points. And even you get two points. And then these come back and these get refilled.
Uh Joanna, you get four points. And Sam, you get two points.
We're all pretty close.
Oh, I was supposed to discard any left. So you get fully reached soon enough. sounding real animal farm. Some animals are more equal than others right there. Don't go dystopic.
It made me laugh because when I said that, I swear Steven was getting redders. I was like living.
That's the challenge.
All right. And now the person to the left of the lowest, it's still bam.
Oh, okay. We all get kicked, right?
And then take your boyers back and your seals back. You all have people over here.
This guy. Oh, he was taking the nap earlier.
My warriors. Did he stay there?
Yeah, the warrior stay there forever.
Do these go away.
The dude with the hats.
Uh, do they
replenished? They're replenished. Those ones.
Like they're removed completely in like brand new ones.
Nope. Just filled the gap. And then two, three, four. Just going to have this in my hand. Free stream project. That's blue. Looks pretty good.
Um these
Oh, right. Guess this can also be shuffled in please. I'm just double checking on the repention of that thing. No, we do discard them.
Okay,
these are both gone. I wonder should I have been doing that on there, too? Those are getting stale, too.
No, that's all right. So, you get to go again. Cool. Well,
I know what I got to do. Glad someone does because I don't know what I'm just taking it one step at a time. Whoa. Why is it doing that?
There's no need to rush.
Don't know that one.
Oh, yeah.
I was thinking like when he step that good.
So sorry team.
That's okay.
So this game is like
game is invoking.
You kind of have to Yeah,
it's okay.
And also like you couldn't proceed like think about what other people just put down.
Yeah. support.
Oh, it's my turn.
Yeah, you're okay.
I know where these guys are going, so you guys can't me up. Damn it. Last place. That's $2. Although I guess if I go there with more money, I win. As long as I don't tie you for money. So I have $2, but I'll be tying you for money.
Yeah, I know.
Are you going to come tomorrow?
Yeah, I was thinking about it.
The Naples and D6 thing.
Considering going
Where is it exactly?
Steve's house. So, the condo building behind here.
Oh, cool.
Yeah, I was thinking about because I'm in the neighborhood, so it's like easier. Wish I place money under another guy. I didn't go too lay down.
This is money you up.
I mean, you have some in front of you, so I have ducks and two ducks. This head has This duck has two heads.
That's the noble eagle of the sar. Tell him. No, I'm making stuff up.
Tell him that you were talking about his seal that way.
I thought they had falcon.
So funny. Probably. That's favorite falcon that he likes to go hunting with. Okay. So, we're all done.
This one first. Okay. So, you get your money back. One of those cards. See, that makes sense. in grace.
Um, there's no reason to Well, I'll do it right now. Yeah. do this right now. Um, the money goes away. Seal goes out. I'll take this one. I'll go ahead and take very hard. I have three influence red cities.
Yeah. Um, sorry.
And then I have to go to gray.
[snorts]
Yes. Cool, cool, cool.
Um, I think I will do this one.
I'm also going to tap this and get the resources.
Oh, yeah. I forgot about that guy.
I can put a warrior out.
Trade two for one.
This was useless. I should have got a better card. Are you going to the morning?
No, I work
Do [clears throat] you work every weekend?
No, I get to kind of pick and choose because like Okay, so there's the children and I have to just like set stuff with them,
right?
And sometimes
the children schedule like
they're like they're 17 years old. They're stupid.
Oh, right. It's university training,
right? Like if calling them children makes me feel better when they fail at life because it's like, okay, if an adult lies to me, it's kind of annoying. But if a child lies to me, I can be like, "Okay, well, it's cuz their brain hasn't developed yet."
I feel like when you're 17, you're
Yeah.
until you're 21.
Well, our brain isn't men's brains don't until you're 30.
Yeah.
Well, I think a lot of it is just their lack of experience, which is
So that's why my tism is all weird.
Sure.
Haven't happened to brain still develop. I think it is.
I think for 25
uh production.
So, a lot of that is kind of like a little bit of a myth like
Oh, really?
Yeah.
Two points.
It's just like theories that we thought of.
Yeah.
Too hot.
Theories that we thought of. Yeah.
Yeah.
I just assume cuz like I just feel like women are more mature than men. I
think a lot of that is nothing else to do. because men are less accountable.
Yeah,
that's kind of like how um autism isn't really tracked in women as boys. A lot of these like quietness and the hyperfixation looks as like this is what a woman should do anyway.
That makes sense.
Oh, that's what it was. I never actually looked into I knew it was different, but I didn't look I've never managed to finish reading the book is still on my desk. Sorry.
I wonder how YouTube determines if I get monetized now because I have to analyze everything we say now to determine if we said something against community's terms.
These are like hour and a half long videos.
I don't bet.
And a robot does it. Manual intervention. A human has to do it. So, if we say something that sounds like it could be offensive, even if it's not, it's flag.
What if a game's offensive?
Uh, that would that likely
like can this could be considered offensive cuz they're like
possibly because we're showing Russian propaganda.
Well, it's not Russian propaganda.
I know, but
No, I was actually curious.
Early early Russia cuz I did think about it. Mhm.
But no, it's the glorification uh or the denial of current events is what is currently
not allowed. [clears throat]
Okay, that makes sense.
Go for it. Put this guy here.
And then I'm going to take Actually, no. Can I just restart?
Yeah.
Do this one.
Okay. And you paid, so you're in the lead. You can do three cards.
Yeah. to seal the deal.
And that means you're also going to go on top spot and you get a dollar. Okay. I don't know why there's a dollar there.
I can do three pretty much.
Yes.
Okay. So, let's just do this one first.
Stone and blue steel.
How many points?
Eight. Eight.
And you get to build a building. So, the building has to be like a guy that's already in there.
Uh, anywhere you have a color that doesn't have my building or this building, you can build in any of these spots.
Yeah.
Let's do this little guy.
Okay. And then I have two more. So, I'm going to wrap this one. Is there a way to wipe the market?
No, not this one. That's why I was like looking it up because like, oh, these are going to fail.
Because this one had a refresh and this one doesn't.
Hi, Kim.
It's Jerry.
I was just saying chat was very quiet. Everybody's over on uh BGG today.
Hi everybody watching on BG. Love it if you pop over to Twitch and give me a follow. It's anonymous. It won't call you out.
Cool. And then I think that's the end of that. And I can't move the guy.
Okay.
Correct. Um debating because the cards are messed up. I guess I'll resolve some um some cards. So, um that's going to be I'll go ahead and play this one. Three wheat, a wood, and a stone. And this lets me get six points.
Damn. a lot of resources.
All right.
And they're going to send a warrior out.
Yeah. Got to send a warrior out. And we'll go ahead and
three money is worth a point to the end.
I will build a city.
[ __ ] Is it the last round?
No.
Thank god scared me.
Build a city. And we'll build a city
probably here. Um, and then I get a second card. I'm gonna play to the whims of fate once again.
I don't blame you.
Okay,
I had a burger for dinner.
Um, and
I'm hungry again.
He doesn't get placed, but what are what are the things here? A dollar.
Are you the dollar?
Okay, great. I'll take a dollar.
How did I lose the most popular place?
Cuz he paid
bribes. I'm the rich guy. popularity one. I will take my st on it.
Despite irresistible ch
two hops, two coins and a wood.
Two coin wood and I get one of those twice if you think two coins.
They're all three. And I get to place nobody will be able to play here. So I can automatically get that.
Yeah, that's why.
Nobody can. They do. Sure. Go for it.
Passes are two-way.
Yes,
but this guy goes away and like so it doesn't matter. He's not going to count for this because that's not until the end of the game. So putting him there during this round was suboptimal.
Oh, that is my turn.
Beautiful.
Okay, we're going to exchange two for a blue steel. We're going to take a blue steel.
Not even that good of a movie, but
I love that movie.
It's iconic. Oh, it's such a great and then we're gonna exchange for a stone worked really hard for that.
I know.
But you think you're all that and you're not.
I just love that movie. Modeling is just so stupid. Like it's just it's really ridiculous.
Like it's based off of nothing. Um and then we are going to my exchanging did that once. Now we have to go to yellow.
Yes.
Mushroom town.
Okay.
Is it my turn?
Your turn.
Yes.
Hi Ty. Boop. And then put that [snorts] one. See, it's regular dinner time for timing. We're live on YouTube, too. But my YouTube chat bot I made is not working. So, I can't actually see anything people are saying on YouTube, but there's nobody there. There was a reason. Yeah, it's like by the time you get to the thing it's all
they should have just made this an oval. Like the little extra poke of saying is like
make it a shape. Oh, okay. Right. So, I'm going to exchange two wheat for a wood. Oh,
did you grab your extra resource, too?
I did.
Yeah, it was the barrel place anywhere in yellow.
Oh, if I do that, please. Um, I'm going to put my seal. Do I even bother? You know, it's me. Um, money goes away. And I will take a uh orange barrel, please. Thank you.
And I'll just take a second steel for no reason. So, I get two resources. And then I will trade these two Math, math, math, math. These two for a stone. Um, yes. Yeah, we'll just do that for right now. Uh, and then I get to go on a yellow city. I will go right here. Wait,
no. Go in the blue cuz then you get second.
Yeah, I'm not talking.
That's a smarter choice. I didn't want someone to overpower me here. Someone
I don't think you right. Somebody totally
No, because everyone spot where they can't go. You're You're a genius. Yeah, I'm even in second there, so I'm telling you what to do.
You're right. You're so smart. SMRT.
My turn. Yes. Okay.
Going to fulfill two things.
Let me get the boat.
First is stone and barrel for nine points.
Then I get to have one of these spoilers go here.
Spoiler of war would be a stone.
Nice. I'm going take this one back. I'm going to use it [gasps]
to fulfill my second one.
That's five points.
It's nine points.
Oh, stone.
You can build a thing.
You're ahead of everyone.
You have to build a house where you have a person or anywhere.
I think you have to have a person.
You have to have presents.
I need you not
Oh, that really screws up my plan demon. I'm
so sorry. Um, but I am going to spend these things
to use powers to gain this guy back and to gain card do it easy. Okay.
Yes. James, your turn.
Oh, you didn't put yourself in a stack of bodies like last time.
Don't do it.
I'm standing over you. It feels the same.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine.
And I'm taking this one.
Yeah. loves my my uh my bottle.
Your bottle.
Do I just give it to him?
If you want.
Do I just throw it over there?
Yeah, but we try and play with it outside.
Okay. So, round is over. Cheers.
I feel like this is going to be like a tight game because it's hard to know like who's in the room. Yeah, it looks super tired right now. [clears throat]
No, I just feel like in the next round I feel like really interesting.
Yeah,
I'm trying to give myself hope. Joan,
no, of course.
Joanna. Why did I say Joanne?
It's It's Joanna.
Yeah, I know. I said Joanne.
You could say Joanne. That's fine.
I thought you said Joanna. Uh one uh two 3 4 two three two and two. So blue is first, white is second. So
So it's two trade actions. Yeah. Okay. I'll take four points.
Mhm.
Um they might have to be different than last because last time I had to pick two different ones. Okay.
Yeah. Any two different trade tokens.
Well, then I'll take the Oh, do I want the money? money.
Maybe infl my stupid cards. Um, yeah, I'll take two points in the mic. Okay. So, then you get three points. Okay. Two, three, four, five, six for black. So, you have first pick, two points for gunpowder. I got a two point
and then two two and two for Joanna. You get
And then what did you take? Wait,
I got the two points.
All right, so you get powder Joanna.
Oh, okay. Thank you.
Yeah. A consolation prize.
Blow up everyone.
Uh Joanna, you got four points or you can take a uh
end game point thing.
I'll take four points.
Yeah. And then you
get that.
Uh I'll take the four points. Okay.
And it's Joanna. You get I get resources and a dollar.
Yeah.
You're welcome. We're telling you to go there.
Thank you.
That's actually more resourceful than I thought.
[ __ ]
I change what I do.
What's the
Okay. Wait. We're taking it right then.
Yeah.
Thank you.
Oh my gosh. And Sam is still first player.
I would love my dead guy back, please.
No.
What? Thank you.
Thank you.
Are these dead?
Those are dead.
Anything turned up is mine. Okay. No, please don't move this around. That's pointless.
Last round.
We have three. Oh, jeez. They are exactly the same except for different colors.
So, it's my turn.
Yeah.
Oh, is your turn?
Hell yeah.
I don't know what to do. there was a way to like secretly activate another part.
I think if you buy something
Oh, but that's what I saw. I know it's at like the end. You kind have to have
You have to like really trust the system.
Okay. Sorry. I'm thinking um I'm going to spend a dollar to activate this card before I do anything else because I need to do it. forget I'm going to be upset.
I don't think anyone else that I just think it's so funny. I was obsessed with like plastic bottles.
These cards here, can you do them at any time?
Once per round. Yeah,
anytime.
Yeah, anytime. Like now.
It's nice. Well, like even when it's not your turn,
take that.
Oh, I think in your turn.
On your turn.
I guess I'll put the dollar here so I know.
And then we brought it, but yeah, you can dollar it. Don't need to do that. But I do need that.
What are you? Why are you going to like screw us all over?
No, no, no, no, no, no. You're not taking too long. It's only been an hour.
No, TOTAL. Matter of fact, it was like felt so amazing and I felt like [ __ ]
That's funny. That your turn.
Wait, whose turn?
It's your turn. Oh, it's probably mine cuz it's in the
moon. Oh, I don't even know what Katherine cities of Sarnia are.
What?
Finally thought that's the game we were playing. Guess the map looks similar. I think it looks like Oron. It's one of my favorite games. Actually never played them. You're so mean.
I am mean. You can fix something. No,
I can't.
I play my Oh, okay. You're
like trust is like a muse.
What? Trust is like a mute. What are you saying?
A mirror.
You can't fix when it's broken.
You love me? Yeah. I love you, too. Is it my turn?
No, I think it's I think it's James. Oh,
I [snorts] thought it was your turn.
No, it's okay. Also, like
you already went there. You don't get to go there again.
You fool. Specifically waiting for you to go there first so I could go.
It's funny because I feel like the black kind of like blended a little bit.
[ __ ] Okay. Does a resource worth anything in the end?
You still have extra if I have to um if I get that thing
and money counts as
I don't know if I might as well.
Oh no.
That's my personal
Well, you convert the big ones to money. We did it. You get to go first.
Okay. So, I'm going to do this one first. Okay. A state and a title. How did you even black?
Oh, I made a mistake. I made a mistake.
Sorry. I I I'm not laughing at you. I'm laughing because I make mistakes, too.
I know. I was like, ah, my plan was to move this guy here. Anyways,
it's too late. Um, and then I got an extra one. Let's see what this Oh, press. No, that doesn't make sense. I thought that was black. That's not black.
So, you have to take one of these.
Yeah. Oh, I can do either or cuz I I
Did you already take one of those? Take one.
And then you can take a windmill.
Yeah. No, but regardless, like that could be my windmill and I could take one of those two, right?
No, it has a symbol at the bottom.
Oh, that's the windmill.
Yeah.
It's kind of like two coins, whatever.
Yeah.
Do I get the two coins now?
Sure.
Just have to use it. Yeah. Well, you can convert those two coins into a point if you just use both of those because you're at the top. So, you get a point.
Okay.
So, you just use both a point.
Cool.
Okay.
Um I'll do card stuff.
Oh, you need to place your Oh, yeah. City up.
Oh, thank you.
Whites where you have at least three. So, you're going to want to try and Put some people out.
Is it any color? Yeah.
Oh, yeah. But this one you want to put them in the white city.
But it's any white city. So you can add the white cities together.
No, for each white city. Oh,
that you have three plus. Oh,
okay. Interesting.
So, you'd also ideally want to try and build a building there. I think this uh I'm going to do the card one. So money goes away goes out red city. So first I'm going to resolve these two cards. These are the resources for this. The two these are the resources for this.
So this one gets me six points.
So that I'm 43
and it lets me place a warrior in the battle zone.
Um I will get one that lets me place a warrior um
where you have a uh presence. Yep.
Great. That one's done. And then this one. Those resources going away. This one gets me seven points. And then I get to do two trades. So I'll get
four more points.
Are we allowing you to do that?
Yeah, cuz can't you do the two trades twice or not?
Because we two different trades.
Okay. So I'll get two points and I will go ahead and get $2. Um. Yeah. And that one's done. And then because I'm first, I get a third card.
And I will grab this one.
Nice.
And then Orange City.
Yes. Orange City. And we're going to go right here. Okay. Wait. Does this let you resolve a card or just take a card?
I think it's resolve. Take a card.
Okay.
No, you're good.
Well, that was exciting. Okay. I'm just going to do this one. What's that? Um, two to one and something special.
Doesn't really matter, but I will trade these for this guy. Then I'm going to gain two specials. One will be this, one will be this. Nice.
And I can place anywhere white.
These yours?
Those were
Yeah,
you should keep them.
Oh, do you keep them?
Yeah, because there was one of those things for
They're worth something for me, so maybe they'll be worth something.
These two cards. Nice.
I have not been mathing these out. You guys did a lot better job on the resources and cards than I did.
So, give me 15 points.
No.
And give me Oh, I can do for each one, right? Like I could do two of these.
Okay. Well, then give me eight points.
No, we decided we got two twos. But I thought he said I got I got two twos here. He's doing two and two. And then I have another card thing. I didn't see that.
Is this already 15?
That was 15.
Yep.
And then so your other eight.
Nice.
Very good.
Oh, and then I get to move onto a here. Um, this money comes back to me.
Um, I'm going to go here and then I'm going to go ahead and take this card and do nothing with it. Uh, actually, no.
Oh, sorry. Can I just move this guy like somewhere else? No. Can I?
Sure.
Oh, no. It has to be red. Sorry. My bad.
Okay. I'm going to take this card and I'm going to go ahead and immediately spend $2 to become the most popular person at the ball.
Great. Okay. Um I am going to do this. Unfortunately only three cities. We have three currently. So the batch of wheat two coins also spend this coin to gain that barrel.
Okay. and flexity.
Nice. And six points.
Nice.
Orange City.
Are these cards only one time use
per round?
Once per round. Yeah.
Oh, okay. I've already used those two for this round, right?
Yeah.
I just want to be popular.
That's fair.
You don't need to be her final scoring at the end.
Her final scoring for sure.
Yeah.
So, I'm just worried about her.
Fair. Sneaky sneaky. My god, he screwed up.
I was so sure that was going to end up popular and I was like, I'm not worried.
You're doing you're like you're leading by a wide marsh. I
know, but I feel like you're going to like lead a little bit more.
Don't jinx it.
Trying to think about is it?
I know the line is
cuz like I overestimate I'm like, "Oh, there's a black one in here. How to start the boys,
how to fix your hair, what shoes really counts to be popular.
Make you popular.
It's not about aptitude. It's the way you're viewed. Be very sure to be
very very very like me.
Honestly, kind of the worst.
Yes. I hate her.
Worse. Um, she's the real wicked witch.
She's the what is it? I've been the the worst. The terrible.
I've been the terrible. Yes,
I've been the one.
Does it have the same ring to it?
You could rethe this for Goindo the worst and like set the
You could make Yeah.
How much do I need to have a point again for the resource?
Uh, three to one. And the big resources are like two to one.
Okay. So, I got What is it? It is doesn't matter 2% foreign goods for victory points at 2:1 and then exchange any number of your coins and remaining goods um with any leftover foreign as well uh to 3:1.
And what about coins? Is that count for one?
It's in the 3 to one.
That's the 3 to one.
All of the resources you do 2:1
and then everything that's left over from this plus all of this is 3 to one.
Okay. two. So, let's do
and then the same scoring that we've always done.
Two. No, that's not me.
Can I take two of the same one or like it has to be separate?
You in this you have the opportunity.
These are three different cities and one of them you get double.
But I can't use the same city.
No, not except for the bonus.
Oh, I see. Okay.
Yeah. So, you're going to get a wood, two hops, and you can buy a stone
if you want to. Um, and then you get one of those again.
Yeah, I think I'll just do that.
Okay. There were some options there.
No, but like this one. This one is like I have to get each one of each. Like I can't
Well, you have to do uh No. Well, you don't have to get Leave it as a as a dollar.
You can get a wood and two hops.
And then you could get two hops again.
And then you can get two hops.
You could get four hops and a wood.
It's like the balls.
Yeah. You want to do that?
Yeah. Yeah, cuz that's what I I was thinking, but we're hops.
One wood.
One wood.
Yeah.
Oh, one one more hops.
Oh, sorry. [clears throat]
And a black city.
I hate this so much
because
you have so many points.
I do, but she's going to get more.
You don't know.
I know. I know. Feel bad. I know for sure. You better do that.
The pressure. Jeez. Want to be popular
like me.
I'll do um
Oh, it's right here. Two to one.
Oh, nice. It's on board. Uh I'm going to place my guy on the special zone and then I get this. Um so why don't you tell me what this does again cuz I forget.
You're going to get a dollar and you're going to be on the top.
Great. I already am.
Which gives you another point because you're already on top. Great. Boom. Uh, and now you get to put out two people because you've got that one that says points per location, don't you? No, you didn't.
No, I didn't take that one. Don't I get to move two people?
You can also move them around the board,
but I can also place them out.
Or place them.
Okay. And do I get to do that for two or three? Because I'm
three because you're there.
Great. Great. Great. Okay,
that's pretty good.
So, um, I'm gonna Okay, let's do math. One, two, three, four, five. Um,
you're currently at six. The black is at six here.
Okay. Six. Seven.
So, we got four, five, six, seven. Yep.
Okay. I'm actually going to put this guy here and then move him here to take this.
Can I do that?
Yeah. You get two movements. You get two placements and a move. Yeah.
Great. And that's two.
And what does that give you? It's two. Great. And that puts me over black for the scoring there.
Yes.
Great.
A card that is worth probably nine points.
Yeah.
Mhm.
It's worth less than that but then whatever it's the principle of the thing.
Um
okay
even going to complete some things. This one will be two wheat beer metal for nine points.
Nice. 53. No. Yes.
Nine.
50
same as me.
That is hard. I'm going to get to do one of these things. This is what I need to figure out.
Okay. I need
Oh, I'm not done. So, sorry.
You get your spoil of war.
I know. I just don't know if I want to. Oh,
okay.
It's one of the crews do this. Okay. Okay, so my spoil war is going to be the linen, which I'm just going to use this thing. And then I'm going to complete my second objective, which is two linen
and a thing for nine points.
Gorgeous.
Plus
64.
Plus an extra two points cuz it's a thing.
Yeah.
And two points.
Nice. Okay, that's my turn.
You got to place your guy.
I like you.
No, he's uh
No, that's me.
Oh, got a dollar.
Okay,
I need to put two people out. Just need pieces in the north.
Gorgeous.
That's it. Yeah. Okie dokie. Two, three, four, five. Um, do you want to place someone out?
Two points then. Yeah, twice.
And then Joanna, do you want to place someone out to
Sure. up a majority somewhere.
Why not? I'll put um
I should have just placed somebody else out so you wouldn't
It's It's two points either. I don't know.
Uh, okay. And then Joanna, you wanted to submit a card? Yes, I want to get the three points. So, this is this these are these resources and I get eight points.
Yeah, dog hair
and I get to fight in the war and
I'll get point.
I guess I'll just get $3.
Yeah, that would be worth
Okay. Um Joanna, three points or go to go to war. Um, I'm out of guys to go to war with, so I'm gonna go get three points.
Okay. And then, uh, that means Sam, you get to go to war. You get to steal. And then I'll be popular.
Oh, that's region four. And then, uh, J, you get two points.
Hooray. Hooray.
Uh what's the order of operations?
I think is it a it's a
title card? Yeah. Yeah. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight pieces in the north.
Nice. Um, two, four, six, eight building project.
Um, two for each yellow city with three influence. Two and four.
Nice.
Nice.
That was your tactic. Okay,
Burnuses. Um, your titles two for what?
Uh, it's for you have three plus influence. I only have one.
Two. And then wow, this one is for each trade project that are blue and have three of six.
Nice. Whoa.
And Joanna.
So I get one for each spoil and trade. That's just one.
And then I get two for each estate card. And I've got two estate cards for four.
Um, so I have three pieces in the east. That's three. And then I have one city with red and three influence. That's an extra two. again.
We won't be star.
No, there has to be the most warriors. Joanna gets four.
I had another contract that was a warrior thing. I
And then you get two, right?
[ __ ]
Isar. I get four.
Well, I'm glad you got it.
Just like them.
And then get two.
Oh, that's so close. Like
it was really close.
Okay, so now it's down to our resources. So I don't have enough to exchange for any points.
I can get two points.
Five points.
Do you have any big resources first?
That's why I'm just Yeah.
Okay. So then everything goes three to one.
So have 11 resources.
So that's three.
Two points. No, three. Sorry. One. That's two points. One point. Two points.
Three to one.
What about this?
That That's Victor. No, that's points.
That should have just been used already.
Yeah.
Flip it over. That's your spoilers of war. You already
um But what about the blue steel?
Three points.
Oh, I see.
Isn't that No, cuz he didn't exchange.
He has to have two of them. So, it doesn't have the two to one. So, it goes into the leftover for the three. So 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 So it's two points.
I just have these. So two points.
So this one is one point and two points.
That's it.
Hello. Like such a close and good game.
Yeah, it was a really close game.
I'm just going to wash it in the R. I liked it.
Yeah, this is fun.
There's lots of like ways to win.
I feel like I played these versions of games before, but this one is like relatively the most simple one.
Yeah, it's not the last S. It's the first S.
It was the first and the last crappy at the job.
No, it's good.
Yeah,
even if like something didn't work out your favor, there are still ways for you to make up points elsewhere.
Yeah,
it is very similar. Like it feels like
Oh, I barely even put this in my collection.
A lot of other games. Probably new.
Okay, we've got Joanna, Steven, and [clears throat] I haven't played with Sam in so long. He's not on the top of the list.
Now he will be.
Okay. I walking with 72, went in the lead with 81, Sam with 76, and Stephen with 77. I don't know why I had to move that when they were on top of each other. Nope. Come on. Buttons in 77.
Did you play when did you get three up?
Um I played two of these cards that let me put guys out. And then the last
So I went to cuz I also had another one that I could have completed instead, but I last
the last one came from I want to say a win condition.
Great. than I feel.
Um, yeah, it was like a lastm minute thing. Yeah, you would calculate it correctly.
I was like, if I take those two points away from her and I get the two points.
Mhm.
But it it wouldn't matter,
I think. Well, we would have tied then.
Yeah,
but it wouldn't matter. Yeah,
you would have think anyways.
If you tie, doesn't it go to someone who has the stars favor? Yeah, the person
that was the most annoying mechanic is I just feel like I couldn't nothing I could do.
I was at the very end the entire game.
I know. And I saw that pop up there. I was like,
but then you already had this area dominated. There's no way any of us could get it. I do think it was kind of difficult to like if you wanted to do a mechanic there was kind of one avenue to do it unless you got really lucky with like I got really lucky with the oh you could do another card thing.
Yes.
But the north is mine.
