Rainbow Blvd. - Teach & Playthrough

0:00 Hi everyone, my name is Mon'nique

0:01 and I'm Naveen from Before You Play

0:02 and today we're going to be doing a playthrough of a game that is coming to Kickstarter called Rainbow Boulevard.

0:07 Yes, this game is designed by Adam Wise and published by Steelwing Games who are helping sponsor this playthrough. Now, in this game, players are taken on the roles of Rainbow Architects who are tasked with building rainbows throughout the city. We're trying to do this the most efficiently as possible by satisfying blueprints as well as contracts and ultimately trying to score the most amount of points.

0:24 That's right. This is an action selection game for one to four players in which each round you'll need to manage your time wisely and build out these rainbow pieces around the board that will also manipulate the various market values of the color companies so that we can score these blueprints and contracts. And so today, as per usual, we are going to start with a teacher of the game and go straight into our two-player playthrough. If you'd like to jump around, we'll include timestamps in the description below.

0:45 Now, we do have to mention this is a prototype copy of the game, so things are subject to change. If you're interested in the campaign, there's going to be a link in the description which you can check out. And lastly, if you like these kind of videos and you want to see more in the future, please consider subscribing.

0:57 And with that, we are ready to begin. So, if you please jerk your attention to the center of the table, we're all set up here for a two-player game of Rainbow Boulevard. Welcome to Hopewell Springs.

1:07 Yes.

1:07 Now, like we're mentioning, in this game, players play as Rainbow Architects. And so, it is our job to build out various rainbows across the city of Hopewell Springs, building them piece by piece and color by color. However, we only have so much time in a workday, and each action in the game will cost a variable amount of time. And so, the player who is able to utilize their time wisely while earning the most prestige while completing as many blueprints and contracts as they are able to will win the game. Now, the game itself is played over a certain number of rounds, and this is going to be dependent on player count. Because we are playing a two-player game, we're going to be playing a total of six rounds, aka days. But if you're playing a three-player game, it would be four days. And a four-player game, it would be three days. And keep in mind, this is a prototype. Now, each day, players are going to be taking turns, taking actions, but the turn order is always going to be dependent on the time track.

1:59 And so, each day is always going to start at the earliest 7:00 a.m., but it can go all the way as far as midnight, which will not be ideal, as you'll see.

2:07 And so, the next player in turn order will always be the player who is earliest on the turn order track. And in the case of a tie, then it's always going to be the player who's on top of the stack.

2:16 And so at the beginning of the game, all players will start at 7:00 a.m. on day one. And because the purple player is on top, they will be going first.

2:23 Now, in this game, there are primarily three different types of actions. We're going to be building rainbow pieces, sometimes removing large rainbow pieces, and also drawing new private contracts. And each action in the game will cost between one and six times. So, as you can see, players are going to be moving along the time track at different speeds, which is why it's important to keep in mind that the player who is earliest in the day is always going to go next, which means it is possible for you to take several turns in a row.

2:50 Now, as soon as your architect token reaches or exceeds 7:00 p.m., that signals the end of your working day. All other players will continue to take actions until they also cross into this dark zone, but we'll explain that in detail a little later. So as for the actions again the first type of action we can take is building a rainbow piece. Now in this game a full rainbow is comprised of three distinct layers but they can be of different colors. And so in this game we have six different colors of pieces. We have purple, green, red as well as yellow, orange and blue. And in each color we have arcs that come in three different sizes. We have small, medium and large as well as several half arc pieces that we have offscreen. And so a completed drabo will always have a small, a medium, as well as a large arc.

3:35 However, each arc layer can be comprised of half arcs of different colors or full arcs just like in this rainbow here. And each rainbow will be built on top of these various cloud foundations. And each time a rainbow piece is built, it will also manipulate the value of the rainbow colors in the market. Now, during setup, you will start by setting up and seating the board a little bit, which will also manipulate the market, which we'll talk about how that works. But if you wanted to see what a half arc looks like, we can look at zone 14 here. We have a small half arc green as well as a small half arc yellow.

4:09 Yes. And together, they make up the entire small layer, which is the first layer of the rainbow.

4:14 Now, the board itself is divided into several areas of Hopewell Springs. We have two separate rivers. We have different districts of the city. And we have a total of 18 of these rainbow foundations which are the cloud pieces.

4:28 Yes. And each foundation represents a specific color company. So like here number 12, this would represent orange.

4:34 And this actually determines the starting value for each of these six different color companies because each company is represented three times on the board and each foundation is worth two value for that company. So Naveen's example, the orange color company are going to be foundations 12, 14, as well as three. And just as a note, we also have red foundations here. And if the colors look a little bit similar, please note that this is a prototype and you can distinguish between the two based on their shape. So red is going to be the circles and orange is going to be square. Now, each time you build a rainbow piece, either on top of a foundation or on top of a previously built piece, the color company of the new rainbow piece will go up in value. and whatever is covered, whether it's the foundation or if it's another rainbow piece, they will go down in value. And so, as an example, during setup, we placed both a yellow small half arc as well as a green small half arc on foundation number 14, which belongs to the orange color company.

5:32 When doing so, both the yellow and the green color company went up in value, but orange went down twice because they were both built on this orange foundation. and the amount that they increase and decrease will differ depending on the size of the piece that's built. Now, the relevance of both the market as well as which pieces we're building on which foundations is important when completing both blueprints and contracts, which of course are the entire goal of the game. Blueprints will always pertain to the types of rainbow pieces that are on the board, as well as their configuration. When completed, each blueprint will score you one prestige at the end of the game. However, if at the end of the game you have any of these still left in your hand uncompleted will be worth minus one prestige each.

6:16 Yeah. So, you have to be cautious as to how many you take on into your hand, especially as the game comes down to an end.

6:20 And just make sure you complete them. But the good thing is that these blueprints and contracts, by the way, can be completed on any player's turn. So, it does not have to be something that you did to the board. It can be something another player did to manipulate the board state for it to be true. So, as an example of a blueprint, we have here small half arcs. You can score this blueprint if a rainbow includes both a yellow and a green small half arc, which we actually have here. So, if during the game I had this blueprint in my hand, I could just play it in front of me and score that one prestige at the end of the game. And there will be some blueprints that require you to have certain configurations of rainbows along the rivers as well as adjacent along these districts. On the other hand, contracts require certain things to be true about the market, which is why we have to pay attention to which pieces get placed where and which color companies get devalued because we are going to want to score these contract cards. Unlike blueprints, these are not going to score you any negative points at the end of the game. But some contracts will score you more than one prestige point. In addition, contract cards have these stamps at the top right hand corner, which you'll be able to score for set collection in two different ways at the end of the game, which is why contract cards are nice. But unlike blueprints, you will need to take an action in order to gain more of these. And so, as an example, this contract here just wants the green color company to be at value 10. No more, no less.

7:40 Exactly 10.

7:41 Some contract cards such as this one have two different orientations. And you can choose to either score that orientation or this one. And it'll be different. It'll also have different amounts of points depending on which side you score, as well as different color stamps. And this contract in particular wants you to have a certain order of values amongst four different color companies. So you want orange to be the most valuable followed by purple, then blue, and then yellow. If at any time that is true, you can reveal this and have that orientation showing to score at the end of the game. And so again, that is going to be the main purpose of the game. We have these blueprint cards and contracts that we want to make true by building out these pieces and manipulating the market

8:21 and all while trying to manage your time. Right now, going back to the building action, again, this is the main action in the game, but the amount of time you spend depends on the size of the rainbow piece you're building. The smallest pieces are going to cost one time if it's a half arc and two time if it's that one small full arc. The medium pieces are going to cost two and four time respectively for half and full. And then the large pieces are going to cost three and six time. But it is important to keep in mind that you can only build the next size layer of rainbow if the entire layer below it is completely built.

8:57 Yeah. So like in this example here at space number nine, I could not start building the second layer as we do not have this second half arc completed.

9:05 Right. But we could start building the medium layer on these three foundations because that small layer is already fully built. Now, in terms of the value of each piece, the amount of time spent is going to equal the value gained on the market as well as value lost. So, as an example, if on my turn I were to build this medium orange arc, this costs four time to build.

9:27 So, Monnique would have to go 1 2 3 4. should be at 11:00 a.m.

9:30 And if I were to choose to build it on this foundation, because you can build it on any valid foundation, building this piece would cause yellow to go down in value by one because that is the value of a small half arc and green would also go down in value by one for this same reason. Orange on the other hand would go up in value by four because that is the value of the medium full arc.

9:54 Yeah. So, and if you piece meal it like the half arc half arc, then it would be two and two. That's why you get the total math to be four

10:00 and that is generally how the market will eb and flow. And so if at any time you want to confirm that the market is true, you can always verify their values based on the board state because basically only the topmost pieces are going to be positive in value.

10:14 And we will absolutely be doing this throughout the game. So this will make sense as we play the game. Now, the last thing about building rainbow pieces is if ever you're able to fully construct the last piece in a rainbow by either building the full large arc or the second half of the half arc of the large piece. As a rainbow completion bonus, you get to draw a private contract into your hand. And that's essentially it for building out these rainbow pieces. As for the other two actions, we also have the ability to remove rainbow pieces, but only the largest pieces. We cannot remove the medium or small pieces once they've already been built onto the board. And regardless of whether you choose to remove a large half arc or the large full arc, it's only going to cost you three time. As for the last type of action, this action allows us to draw additional private contract cards into our hands. And we can choose to either draw two and discard one. And when we discard, you can choose to discard from your entire hand. It does not have to be one of the two that you just drew. And for doing so, that is going to cost three time. Alternatively, you can spend five time to draw three and discard one from your hand just like in the other action. Now, keep in mind that the contract office closes at 6 p.m., which means if you ever start your turn at 6 p.m., you are not allowed to take the action that allows you to draw contract cards.

11:31 Yes. So, for any time from 5:00 p.m. and before, you can take that action. But right at 6:00, if you start, you will not be able to.

11:37 Right. which is a good point because as an example, taking the action at 5:00 p.m. will bring you past 6 p.m. And that is okay. As soon as your architect token reaches or exceeds 7:00 p.m., that is the end of your workday, you will not take any more actions for the rest of this day/round. But keep in mind that this gray area here, basically anything after 6 p.m., this is considered to be overtime. And this is going to have some consequences for the next day because overtime makes you tired, right? And so as soon as all players have reached or exceeded this area, which means it is the end of everyone's workday, that ends the day and will move all architect markers 12 hours back. Which means if I ended at 7:00 p.m., I get to start at 7:00 a.m. But unfortunately, the orange architect token ended at 9:00 p.m. So this means they will start at 9:00 a.m.

12:27 And so that is how you sort of have to pay yourself back for going into overtime.

12:31 Yeah. So this means going into the next day, Mo'Nique, the purple player, would get to go first.

12:36 And at the start of each workday, before starting to take actions in order from the player who is the latest on the time track and going to the earliest, each player will get to decide to draw between one and four blueprint cards from the deck.

12:50 And remember, any leftover blueprint cards that you are not able to satisfy by the end of the game will be negative one point,

12:56 right? So keep that in mind, but also keep in mind that this is the only way that you'll be able to draw additional blueprint cards. But after that's done, then we continue the day as normal. And at the end of the final day, depending on player count, which again in a two-player game is six days, the game ends and we go into endgame scoring. And during final scoring, the player who completed the most amount of blueprint cards specifically earns a city council bonus of three prestige. Then all players will score bonus points for the stamps on their completed contracts. And it's going to be three prestige points if you have at least one stamp in all six of the different colors or one prestige if you only have five. And that's specifically in a two-player game. As well as additional prestige for having multiple contracts of the same colored stamp. And I think the minimum is four of the same color for two prestige and then five or six will score even more. And finally, each player will score the specific amount of prestige points earned via their contracts, as well as one prestige for each completed blueprint and minus one prestige for each blueprint that is still in their hands. And at that point, whoever has the most prestige points wins the game.

14:00 And in the case of a tie, the tied player who is earlier on the time track wins a game. And that's essentially how you play Rainbow Boulevard. Now, keep in mind that there will also be some optional modular expansions, including Coffee Break and Bright Ideas, but today we're going to be playing just the base game. And so for now, we'll get cleaned up and we'll get started with our playthrough.

14:17 Okay, we're all set up. We're ready to go. We each have four blueprint cards as well as two contracts drawn from the respective decks.

14:23 Just have to figure out who's going to be going first.

14:25 I'll do even

14:26 uh I'll go odds. One, two, three.

14:29 Even. Oh, it's a four. That's one of the bigger numbers that we've had as of late. All right, so that means I'm going to be taking

14:36 Monique is purple.

14:37 I'm purple.

14:37 Purple elephant.

14:38 And Nive has the orange architect token. And again, we are playing a total of six rounds, aka days, because we are playing a two-player game.

14:46 And as you can see, we have already seated the board with a total of four of these small half arcs and two full small arcs.

14:53 Yes. And that's why the market looks like this because the math of going up and down was already calculated.

14:58 Yes. So, I'm going to go ahead and take the first turn. And so, again, on your turn, you can either build rainbows, remove rainbows, which is actually not an available action yet, or you can draw new private contracts. I think I am going to start by building a rainbow. And I'm going to build a medium half arc.

15:16 That is going to cost two hours.

15:18 Okay. Two time for you.

15:18 Yes. Two time, please.

15:20 All right. I think I'm going to build a medium half yellow arc. So, I'm building one of these and I'm building it here on this foundation. Now, again, when you build a rainbow piece, whatever you are covering will go down in value equal to whatever its value is. So, because I'm covering half small arc in green,

15:38 it goes down by one.

15:39 Yep. Yellow on the other hand is going to go up in value by the value of the piece.

15:44 Two for the medium half arc which is the amount of time spent. So it's really easy to keep track of that. All right, that is it for me. I do not complete a blueprint or a contract yet. So not goes to Naveen. And again, you can always complete these on any player's turns. So if Naveen makes something true, then maybe I'll be able to complete something.

16:02 Okay. So I'm going to start off. I'm going to spend one hour. So I'm only going to move one notch. That means I'm going to get to go back to back turns. Yes. Uh, and then I am actually going to construct a small blue rainbow here.

16:13 Small half arc. Now, we have all of these half arc pieces off screen. And they're actually several in each of the sizes. So, I'm going go ahead and put that there.

16:21 So, because I covered up the yellow foundation, one down in yellow and one up in blue. So, now blue is back to its base six,

16:28 right? Because like we're mentioning during the teach, each foundation equals two value. So, each side you cover up makes that color company go down by one value. So, that's what happened there. And because I did that, satisfy this blueprint.

16:40 Oh, nice.

16:40 So, we have the half arc, half arc of the lowest tier. So, there we go.

16:44 Specifically,

16:44 specifically

16:45 blue and purple.

16:46 Small half arcs, blue and purple. So, that is satisfied. That looks good for me.

16:50 We have one prestige

16:51 one down

16:52 in the bank.

16:52 Mhm. And now, because I am furthest behind in time, I'm going to be able to go next. I'm going to spend another one hour and I'm going to go

17:00 like that. And can I have a small red?

17:03 Small,

17:03 which I'm in possession of. So, I will grab a small red from off and I'm going to cover up this little foundation here. So, just like we explained earlier, yellow's going to go down one and now red is going to come up.

17:14 Trying to bunch everything a little bit.

17:15 So, you're doing all of like the little de you're doing all the small half arcs. Nine is taking multiple turns

17:21 in a row. I kind of just started with like a big

17:24 I spent a lot of time.

17:25 You did. That's okay.

17:27 All right. So, it's still N. Naveen is on top of the stack because again in the case of a tie, you go from top to bottom,

17:33 right? Okay. Okay, I will spend one more time, 1 hour, and I'm going to take a small half arc in purple.

17:40 Where to?

17:40 I'm going to put it here.

17:41 So, we're going to bring orange down just a smidge

17:45 down,

17:46 and then purple goes up a smidge.

17:49 There we go.

17:49 Okay. Well, Naveen ruined some things, I feel like. Uhoh. Are our contracts opposite? We're going to find out.

17:56 We'll find out.

17:57 Time to do some undoing. Can you uh spend one hour for me, please?

18:01 Okay. I'm going to put out a small half arc in blue.

18:04 Okay.

18:04 I need to cover. I'm going to place it here.

18:07 So, purple's coming down.

18:08 Yeah, purple's coming down by one.

18:10 Purple comes down by one. Blue goes up by one.

18:12 By one. Okay. And then I'm going to send one more hour.

18:16 One more hour. Okay.

18:17 Yes. I'm going to do the same for orange.

18:20 And it doesn't matter too much where I put this one, I think. So, I'm going to put it here.

18:25 So, yellow is going to go down by one

18:28 and orange goes up by one. All right. You've done something.

18:30 Hold the phone.

18:31 Phones are held.

18:32 I've completed two contracts. So again, contracts refer to the market. Blueprints want rainbow pieces to be in specific configurations. So let's do them one at a time. The first one I have is this one. This needed green to be equal to blue.

18:46 Nice.

18:46 So that's fine. I think you had moved.

18:49 Did you move blue down? I don't remember now, but I needed blue to come back up. So there's one contract that'll be worth one prestige at the end of the game. It's a yellow

18:55 and it has a yellow step because again we want to have set collection one of each of the six different colors and we also want to have several of the same colors. So I'm going to keep that in mind.

19:03 Yes.

19:03 As for my other contract, I have this one. This is the one that you are messing with. So this needs blue to be above orange to be above purple.

19:13 So I was hoping to be able to meet this in like one more turn. It took me two turns to do it. Anyway, so this is two prestige and it's a red stamp this time.

19:21 So you're working on the different ones.

19:23 Yes, we are. That's it for me. That's everything that I can fulfill for now. Okay. So, now it goes to you, Naveen.

19:28 Okay. Before I start messing up the board with a bunch of rainbows, I'd like to see more contracts and that way I could have an informed decision as to what I mess up or keep or keep secure.

19:38 What you modify?

19:39 What I modify? Yeah. So, I would spend three time.

19:42 Okay. So, again, when you draw new private contracts, you can either spend three time draw two and discard one from your hand. It does not have to be from the two that you drew. Or you can spend five time to draw three and discard one. So

19:54 I want to I want more contracts, but I'm gonna I want to preserve some time. So I'm going to go from 10 to one. And then do you mind?

20:00 So you're spending three.

20:01 Three. Yep.

20:02 Okay. So draw draw two. And then of the four I'm holding basically I can discard. Yeah. Okay. So I kind of like all four of these. They're all workable uh based off the board state. So it's kind of a bummer that I have to get rid of one of these. But I'll get rid of this one. This is the hardest of the ones that I'm seeing so far.

20:17 Okay. So then it goes to me. And I am now starting to feel insecure about the fact that I don't have any more contracts in hand. You did two of them already.

20:24 It is day one. So I feel like the earlier the better for these things, right? Five hours.

20:28 So I'm going to do the same. Yeah. So I'm going to go three, two, three, four, five. I'm going to spend five because the contract office closes at six.

20:34 Yes.

20:35 So

20:35 So draw three.

20:36 Draw three. Discard one from these now because I didn't have any in my hand. So got to make sure that they pair well with my blueprints. And I am going to discard this one.

20:45 All right. Discard. So, I'm opting for higher points even though that one was technically easier. So, we'll see. Well, hopefully that doesn't hurt me in the end.

20:51 It could.

20:52 All right, Nave.

20:53 It's you.

20:54 I'm going to spend two hours.

20:55 Okay.

20:56 And I'm going to get a uh medium half arc

20:59 purple.

20:59 Purple.

21:00 All right. What are you covering?

21:01 I will cover up here.

21:04 Let's cover up orange.

21:05 So, orange goes down value by one.

21:08 Orange goes or sorry, purple goes up by two.

21:10 Okay. And again, when building the next layer of the rainbow, you can only build them once the bottom layer is completely complete.

21:17 Yeah. The entire base is below is secure.

21:19 So these half arcs here, we cannot build the medium layer on them.

21:23 Medium's on it.

21:24 Uh by doing this, I have satisfied my first contract. So this one you want green and purple to be next to each other.

21:31 So I have I have a purple stamp. It's only worth one point, but that's okay. There's going to be higher value ones hopefully in the future.

21:37 Definitely. And for my next action, I'm going to spend two more time.

21:40 Okay.

21:40 So, we're going to go one, two, and then I'm going to do a half arc red.

21:45 Red.

21:46 And I'm going to cover up. So, this is kind of interesting. I'm covering a red with a red.

21:49 Oh, okay.

21:49 So, it's going to it's going to net plus one.

21:52 You need a a medium arc combo.

21:54 So, the math on this is down one red. Yeah.

21:57 But then up two red, right?

21:59 Okay. Yeah.

21:59 There we go. And the reason why I did that was because exactly Mooney called it. I needed a purple and red next to each other to satisfy that blueprint.

22:07 Specifically, the medium half mark because these blueprints do tell you which layer and it also gives you some description at the bottom there. But there you go. Very nice.

22:14 Got it.

22:14 It's another prestige point for you.

22:16 It is.

22:16 All right. Anything else?

22:18 No. Now, now it's your turn.

22:19 Okay. So, that goes back to me. And we really only have a few more hours here before we're going to be forced to end our workday. So, I may want to keep that in mind when deciding what to do. So, I'm going to spend one one hour one time.

22:32 The back turns.

22:33 Uh, I would like to put out a purple. A small

22:37 tiny one.

22:37 Yeah. Small half arc purple, please. Thank you. I'm going to place it up here actually.

22:42 Okay.

22:42 So, it's going to go up here.

22:43 So, blue's going down one.

22:44 Blue foundation. Yes.

22:45 Purple's going up one.

22:46 Purple is going up one. So, just like that.

22:48 Purple up.

22:49 And for my last action, I'm going to spend two time.

22:52 No contract.

22:52 One, two. No contract. So, I now am going to be ending my workday. That was my last action because I'm now in this gray area because again, as soon as you meet or exceed 7 p.m. after that action, that ends your workday.

23:04 So, this is the last one of the day for you.

23:06 Correct. And with that two time, I'm going to build a medium half arc in green.

23:12 Medium half arc green. Got it. Shall this go?

23:15 I'm going to build it here.

23:17 So, yellow goes

23:18 So, yellow goes down by one.

23:20 Yellow goes down by one

23:20 and green goes up by two.

23:22 Green goes up by two. And now I've completed a blueprint for medium half arcs. So it needed the rainbow to have green and yellow.

23:32 Yes,

23:32 in medium half arcs. That's a blueprint. As well as a contract. So this contract needed green to be above purple, to be above blue, to be above orange.

23:42 Oh, three points.

23:43 Three points. It's a different stamp.

23:44 That's a t.

23:45 So three prestige. It's a green stamp. I just need the other three colors to Well, I really need two more colors to score the one prestige.

23:54 Yes. Wow, that was good.

23:56 That is it. That is the end of my workday. So, now it goes to you, Naveen.

23:59 That was good.

24:00 For the rest of day one.

24:01 That was good.

24:02 Thank you.

24:03 Okay. I am unfortunately going to go into a little bit of overtime. I'm going to spend three times.

24:08 Three times?

24:09 Yeah. And I'm going to do

24:10 Are you building a large half arc?

24:12 I am building a large half arm.

24:14 Okay. One, two, three. So now you're going to be starting your day at 8:00 a.m. which is not it's not

24:20 it's not it's not bad. It's just 1 hour. Yeah. And so what color?

24:22 Uh I am going to do a orange.

24:25 Orange. Yeah.

24:26 All right. So you're going to build here or here because basically it can only be built on a completed medium layer.

24:32 This one right over that purple.

24:33 Right over purple has to be.

24:34 So purple will go down by two.

24:36 Down by two.

24:37 Right.

24:37 That's the value of that. And then orange

24:39 going to go up by three. So five to eight. And the reason for this thing was there's a lot of moving parts. I needed this to be true.

24:47 Oh,

24:48 red to be equal to yellow to be equal to

24:51 purple.

24:51 And I did. That's worth four points. It's a second purple stamp.

24:55 Nice.

24:56 I just I didn't know how many how much like the the moving of parts was just going to take way too long for me to figure that out. I don't like the fact that I have only one contract going into the next day,

25:05 but you know, I can always take the action gain contracts.

25:09 True. And now we have half a large layer. So, whoever completes the second half and basically completes the rainbow will get to draw a bonus contract card. Yeah. As a bonus reward. Now, keep in mind that as soon as that happens, we will be allowed to start destroying rainbow layers, but whenever you take that action, it's only ever going to be the topmost large layer.

25:29 Yeah, you can't destroy the mediums or the smalls.

25:31 Yes. So, once those are on the board, those are forever. So, that'll make taking blueprints a little bit more complicated as we get later and later into the game.

25:39 All right, but that is it. That is the end of day one, right? Because we are now both in the overtime area. And so, let's go ahead and start day two by bringing our architect tokens back by 12 hours. So, I'm going to start at 7:00 a.m.

25:53 Whereas Naveen will start at 8:00 a.m. Now, in order from the player whose architect token is the latest in the workday, going down to the earliest, we must decide how many blueprints you would like to draw from the deck. You must draw at least one, but up to maximum of four. So,

26:07 Naveen,

26:07 you must draw one maximum four. I'll take four.

26:10 Four. Yeah,

26:11 it's early enough.

26:12 As the game goes on, you maybe take less because, you know, there's less to control.

26:17 Yeah.

26:17 But yeah, I think I'll go.

26:18 Especially like once you start running out of pieces, but I will also take four. One, two, four,

26:24 three, four. All right. So, oh my gosh, I have I have seven. I have eight. No, I have seven. I have seven blueprints in my hand.

26:32 So, lots of things to consider. Um, but I think we have a lot of time still, so it's fine. All right. So then I'm going to go ahead and get started with day two. And you know, I think I am going to cap off that rainbow.

26:45 Go for it.

26:46 I'm going to go ahead and spend three time please.

26:48 Seven to 10.

26:49 Let's put a half large purple arc.

26:53 Halflarge purple arc. So this is going to go up three.

26:55 Yeah. Completing this rainbow. Red actually goes down

26:58 two. And then purple goes up three.

27:01 So it goes from six to nine

27:03 to nine. Now I've completed this rainbow which means I get to draw a contract. card as constellation. It's really nice. Um, keep in mind though that if we do choose to destroy either of these rainbow pieces, whatever gets revealed will now go up in value because again, you can always keep track of what the current market value of all six colors are

27:23 based on whatever the topmost color is showing on each foundation. All right, that's me. So, that goes to you.

27:29 So, I don't like the fact that I have all these blueprints but only one contract. So, I think I'm going to spend 5 hours to draw three, discard one. Yeah. So, so I'd like to just know more. So, go to one.

27:42 Seems like a lot. Okay. So, draw three.

27:44 Yeah, draw three.

27:45 There you go.

27:46 And then now I have to discard down. Okay. These are all clever. They're going to require some work.

27:51 Uh wow. Um I I'll discard this one. Okay, that's it.

27:55 All right. Then it goes to me. And I do have some I have some uh runway

27:59 some runway here. So, I'm going to start by just bending one time.

28:02 Okay.

28:02 Please. And can I have the small half purple?

28:05 Small half purple.

28:06 Yeah. Okay.

28:07 Thank you. I'll place this up here.

28:09 The orange is going to go down.

28:10 Orange is going to go down by one and then purple will go up by one. All right.

28:14 Please. Now, before I take my next action, I would like to complete this contract.

28:18 Okay,

28:18 that was very difficult, but this is the time. So, this contract, I'm doing the top half. So, anytime you see a contract that has two orientations, you just choose which orientation you can complete.

28:30 And they're the same. They're just inverted.

28:32 Yes. So for these contracts, this needs the color to the left to be above every color, the topmost color. Purple's the highest

28:40 and then the color to the right needs to be the lowest on the market track, which is what we have here.

28:44 You did it.

28:45 So I did it. This is going to score me three prestige at the end of the game. It is another red stamp.

28:49 That's good.

28:50 Which is fine because now I know I can start just collecting red stamps.

28:54 The straight points on them is also quite valuable. So yeah,

28:57 that's true. I like to hyperfixate on the the set collection whenever there's like a set collection in the game. So don't take any more actions, Monique.

29:04 Why?

29:04 You have made purple.

29:06 A 10.

29:06 Ah,

29:07 you did some work for me there.

29:08 I did some work for me.

29:09 That's okay. That's good though. I I

29:11 Yeah, that's good for you.

29:12 Thanks.

29:14 That's good though. Not for you. For me. Yes.

29:16 No, for you. You scored. You scored three to my one.

29:18 I did. That is true. That is true.

29:20 But now on on your action though.

29:21 All right. So then it goes It's still my turn.

29:23 Yeah.

29:24 So I'm going to spend one more time. May I have a small half red?

29:29 Small half red. Okay.

29:30 Yeah. Where you going?

29:32 Same place. So orange goes down by one. Red goes up by one.

29:35 You're trying to trash orange or something?

29:36 No, I'm just trying to make a small half arc.

29:39 Okay. Okay, fair enough.

29:40 With purple and red, which is what we have here. So I've completed this blueprint. I'm going to keep going. So one more time. Can I have another small half red,

29:48 please?

29:49 Sure. What are you going to do now?

29:50 I'm going to place it here.

29:52 So blue goes down by one.

29:55 Blue down one.

29:55 Red goes up by one.

29:56 By one. Okay. And then I complete two things

30:01 actually. One second. Let me just There are actually these notches on the rainbow pieces so that they fit right on the foundations. There you go.

30:09 So first thing is I have another small half arc red and green.

30:13 So that's a blueprint. And then I finally did it. I got this contract. So this needed red to equal orange. And they were so far. Yeah.

30:22 That was why I was like, "Ah, I got to bring orange down." So there's another color snap. 1 2 3 four. Yeah.

30:28 Okay. Okay.

30:29 So, I need blue and

30:31 green. No,

30:31 orange. Blue and orange.

30:32 Blue, orange. Yeah,

30:33 I have a lot of blueprints and I don't have any contracts. So, it is tempting to just take some contracts, but I guess I still have some time. So, I'm just going to spend two time now.

30:41 Okay.

30:42 And I'm going to build a medium half yellow. So, let's go ahead and build this here. So, this is going to make red go down one.

30:51 Down one.

30:51 Yellow will go up two.

30:52 Two. One, two. Yep.

30:53 And I'm going to complete a blueprint. So this is a medium and a small.

30:58 So it's a medium yellow piece on top of a small red piece. So there's that. And it doesn't matter if the red piece is a half arc or a full arc.

31:07 So there's that blueprint. And I think that's it. So that goes to you,

31:10 Naveen. Doesn't feel good letting you take four turns in a row.

31:14 There's a lot of action in that.

31:15 Too much action. Okay. I'm going to spend two hours.

31:17 Okay.

31:18 And then can I have a medium half arc blue?

31:20 Blue. Okay. Where too?

31:22 Uh I'm going to cover up this purple here. Oh, okay.

31:25 There we go. So,

31:26 so it's purple down one.

31:27 Purple down one. And then blue up two. There we go. I'll spend one hour.

31:31 Mhm.

31:32 Can I have a small half arc orange, please?

31:34 Orange. All right.

31:35 Yeah,

31:36 there you go.

31:36 And I'm going to tuck it up here into section one.

31:40 Okay.

31:40 Just like that. So, orange.

31:42 Yeah. Purple goes down one, orange goes up one. There we go.

31:46 They're grouping. All right. Back to you.

31:48 You're not deleting anything?

31:49 No, not yet. Yeah. No, there was a lot of conflict. a lot of uh yeah, there's a puzzle amongst your hand that needs to be solved

31:56 because again, if you do not complete blueprints, there could be minus one prestige at the end of the game. So, you better complete them if you choose to draw them.

32:04 All right. Well, speaking of drawing cards, um I need some contracts. I would like some contracts before I continue the game, I think. Okay.

32:12 So, I'm going to go and end my day by spending five time. So, one, two, three, four, five. So, 8 p.m. is not bad.

32:19 That's good. And I'm going to draw three and

32:21 give one back.

32:22 Give one. I'm going to discard one. One of these is really hard.

32:27 Get rid of it.

32:29 But you know, the market is really volatile. A lot can happen, especially if you choose to put out the fulls size arcs.

32:35 All right.

32:35 So, if I want these stamps to happen, I'm going to go for it. I'm going to discard the easier one with a less awesome stamp.

32:43 Cool. I like it.

32:45 All right. That is it for me. That ends my workday. I'm now in 800 PM. did a little bit of overtime, but that's okay. So, now it goes to you for the rest of the day.

32:51 Yes. Okay. I'm going to end my day by spending three hours, but I'm not doing contracts.

32:55 One, one, two, three.

32:57 Yes. I am going to put a large

32:59 large half orange on top of this yellow here.

33:02 On top of this yellow.

33:02 Yes.

33:03 Oh, okay.

33:04 So, yellow goes down by two.

33:05 By two.

33:06 One, two. And orange goes up by three.

33:08 By three.

33:09 One, two, three. Now,

33:10 oh,

33:10 I have completed this. This was the grind. This is a grind right here. Orange to purple to blue to yellow.

33:17 Nice.

33:18 That was a lot of moving

33:19 in that order. You did it.

33:20 So, and then that's my third purple right there.

33:22 And it's three prestige. That's nice. All right, that is the end of day two. We are now both in the overtime area. And these are getting tougher. It's interesting because this game I think we are building up faster instead of just spreading out to the other foundations.

33:35 We've had games where we kind of like go all over the board, but now it's like up because we're trying to make It depends on what contracts you get.

33:42 Yes, it's true. But it does make some of these blueprints harder to complete because I can't count on Naveen, helping you with some. So, it's like a lot more of a puzzle.

33:50 All right, let's go into day three. Uh, let's bring our architect tokens back. All right, so I'm going to be going for seven.

33:56 I start at eight and we're now entering day three. Starting with me this time. How many blueprints to take? Ah, I have four in my hand.

34:04 I did not satisfy many in that last round. So, I'm

34:07 I'm going to take four.

34:07 You're taking four.

34:08 I'm doing it. Well, I have one, two, three,

34:10 two,

34:11 three, four.

34:13 I have six in hand right now.

34:15 Take four.

34:16 I can't take four. I'll take two.

34:18 Suit yourself. Don't forget.

34:20 I may regret it, but I Yeah.

34:22 The player who completes the most number of blueprint cards gets the city council bonus, which is an additional three prestige. Right. That's just three. That's another contract. It's not a high scoring contract.

34:33 What am I going to do?

34:34 What are you gonna do? All right. Well, here we go. Naveen, you're first.

34:38 Okay. Okay, I see an opportunity to do something good for myself. So, I'm going to spend three time.

34:43 Uh, we're going to go from seven to 10.

34:45 Okay.

34:45 And I'm going to put a blue on this one.

34:48 Okay. So, you're capping that off. Capping it off. This is a blue large half.

34:51 Yes.

34:52 So, green goes down by two.

34:53 It goes down by two. One, two. Blue goes up by three. There's a reason for this.

34:56 You've completed the rainbow. So, you get to draw a contract as your bonus. Let's

35:00 see what I get.

35:01 And then, do you have something to complete? What was your reason for this?

35:04 I do have something to complete. I want blue at 10.

35:07 Okay. Okay.

35:07 And it's another purple.

35:08 It's my fourth purple.

35:10 I have four of the same color. That's good.

35:12 You did something good for yourself. You did something horrible for me.

35:15 That was horrible for you.

35:16 That was also Congrats.

35:18 All right. I got this new contractor.

35:19 Okay.

35:20 What do we got here?

35:20 All right. Well, it's my turn. I'm going to go slow and steady. So,

35:23 how slow are we talking? One time, please. One time. Let's go. Small half green.

35:27 Small half green. Where's that going to go?

35:29 Oh, this is going to be so silly. I guess I'll I'll put it here. So, orange is down one.

35:34 Orange down one.

35:35 Green up one. Green F1.

35:37 And then I'll do it again.

35:40 Another exact same.

35:41 Another green.

35:41 Yeah, this this is the silly part

35:44 because I'm going to put it here.

35:46 Boom.

35:46 Green for green.

35:47 Green for green. So that's nothing.

35:49 I see what you down one up one.

35:50 I see what you're doing.

35:51 And now I'm going to complete a couple of things. The first thing is we have on a road. So score if three rainbows adjacent on a road. So this is the road right here. There's a couple of roads that kind of go around Hopewell here. And so they each include at least one green piece. So green, green, green. So that's a blueprint.

36:10 I'll verify that.

36:12 We also have between two rivers.

36:14 Oh.

36:14 So we have the same three that are between two rivers. River one, river two, and this like the land mass in between. So we've got that.

36:23 I also have this that I think I didn't realize I had, which is medium purple on top of a small orange, which is in this rainbow.

36:30 Mhm.

36:31 So medium purple, small orange. So, that's another blueprint.

36:34 Oh, man. You're just dominating the blueprint game right now.

36:36 Well, I have so many. I need to dominate them more.

36:38 I'm not I'm not dominating.

36:40 Frankly, there's I I still have five in my hand.

36:42 I have many. Uh, so I'm not dominating.

36:44 Now, I'm going to destroy a rainbow.

36:47 It's time to destroy some mistakes that were made. I don't agree.

36:51 I don't agree with the city planning.

36:53 Oh, I made these mistakes.

36:54 Yes, you did. I'm going to destroy for three times. So, one, two, three.

36:59 Good. I want to take actions. destroying this this blue large half arc down three.

37:04 So this goes down three

37:06 and green. Now that green is revealed, it goes up two. That's the value of the medium half ar.

37:10 Oh yeah, I see that.

37:11 All right.

37:12 Well, that was not good.

37:14 That's it. I'm done. I wreaked a lot of havoc on this city, I think.

37:18 So now goes to you.

37:19 Well, now that you've done that, it did create an opportunity. I am low on contracts.

37:23 Okay,

37:24 so I will spend three time

37:26 one, two, three. I'm not going to completely undo what you did, but I'm going to take a big arc. Uh, purple

37:32 purple

37:32 purple big arc.

37:33 So, you have them there. So, you're covering up green.

37:35 I'm covering up green.

37:36 Green goes back down.

37:37 Down two, one, two,

37:38 and now purple goes up three.

37:39 Three. So, 8 to 11. And that's good because that just made this true.

37:44 Purple is greater than green, which is just greater than blue.

37:47 Blue. Okay.

37:47 It's worth two points.

37:49 You score that. You also get a contract.

37:50 I get a contract for finishing that rainbow. That's why that was nice.

37:53 And you get to go again.

37:54 Okay. I'm just going to spend one time.

37:56 Okay. And let's get a small yellow.

37:59 Small yellow.

38:00 Yeah, small yellow.

38:00 All right, there you go.

38:01 So, I'm going to put this here now. Interesting. Purple just went up, but now purple is going to go down one

38:06 and yellow's going to go up one. And because I did that, I've completed this blueprint.

38:10 Is that the small

38:11 small? Just simple one.

38:13 I need to get off my back.

38:15 I only have three done.

38:16 Okay.

38:17 All right. And that was me.

38:18 All right. I'm going to spend two time. One, two. May I have a green half medium?

38:24 Half medium. Okay.

38:25 Please. Thank you. I'm going to place it here. So, blue goes down one.

38:28 Blue goes down one.

38:29 Green goes up two.

38:30 Up two. Green up two.

38:32 So, it's back to you.

38:33 Okay. Let's just put a uh Do we have a small purple? We do have one. I'm going to spend one time.

38:38 This is the last small purple, by the way.

38:39 Oo, scary.

38:40 Just letting you know.

38:41 That means things will start becoming impossible.

38:43 So, that goes there.

38:44 Okay. Red going to go down one. Purple's going to go up one.

38:48 What do you need with the purple?

38:49 And by doing that, by the way, uh I've satisfied this in districts. Oh,

38:54 so score if four or more rainbows are in districts. Uh and districts are the things that have this symbol here.

39:00 Yeah. The foundations that have that that symbol. There also rivers that have like the water symbol, but those are those.

39:06 So we're looking for basically four purples in those. So here's one of them.

39:09 Uhhuh.

39:10 Here is two.

39:12 Okay.

39:13 Here is three.

39:14 Mhm.

39:14 And then here is four.

39:16 Nice. So they have to be in four different

39:18 different ones. So that's So if you're wondering why I did that there, it was to get that going right there.

39:23 Okay. I only have one contract in hand. I have all these blueprints.

39:27 I'm going to take contracts.

39:30 I'll spend three time.

39:31 Three time.

39:32 Three of ours.

39:33 Okay. One, two, three.

39:34 Draw two. Discard one. That way I can take one more action before the end of my my turn. Okay. Or round.

39:40 End of the day.

39:40 Okay. I have to discard one of these. Oh man. Okay. I'll discard this one. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow.

39:46 All right. It goes to me. I know. I'm having a difficulty like I want to take four more blueprints going into the next.

39:52 How many blueprints do you have in hand?

39:53 I have a lot.

39:54 One, two, three, four, five, I have six. Okay.

39:57 Stressing. Well, it's back to me. I'm spending one time.

40:00 Okay.

40:01 Can I have a half small red?

40:03 Half small red.

40:05 Small tiny red.

40:06 Small tiny red.

40:07 Okay,

40:08 it's going to go here. So, purple is

40:10 trying to bring down purple. I've noticed that

40:11 purple is just so high. Purple needs to get brought down.

40:14 You need unfair to the other color companies. Rainbows need more colors than purple.

40:19 All right,

40:20 so there's that. It's back to me.

40:22 Something tells me you want green all the way up.

40:24 Nothing to see here.

40:25 Something's telling me that.

40:27 Fine. I mean, fine.

40:29 I will let you in on my secret. I'm going to go one, two, three. So, that is going to end my workday. And I'm going to put out

40:35 You're going to make it happen.

40:36 A large half green.

40:38 A large half green.

40:40 Large half green. Cuz this is the only way to bring blue down by two.

40:44 Justice for blue.

40:45 Justice for blue. So, I'm going here. Blue goes down by two, please.

40:49 Goes down by two.

40:49 Wait, this is not green.

40:51 What?

40:52 What am I holding?

40:53 Oh, sorry.

40:53 It's going to be green.

40:54 Green, please. Thank you.

40:56 My bad.

40:56 So, it's going to go here. So, still blue still goes down by two.

40:59 Sorry. One, two,

40:59 and then green goes up by three. So, one, two, three.

41:03 Okay.

41:04 And now, before anything happens, please, my goodness, I'm going to complete this contract.

41:10 So, these are tough because everything needs to be in between these two colors. Green is the best.

41:15 Blue is the worst. This is true.

41:18 Well, I'm glad you did that.

41:19 Oh gosh. Why?

41:21 Because I need yellow to be above red to be above blue. I was actually going to try to work this, but then it's just worth more points. And thank you.

41:28 You're welcome. I appreciate you.

41:29 You're not welcome. But

41:31 I I enticed you to do that.

41:33 You lured me. All right, that's it. That's the end of my day.

41:36 I have If I want to go first, I only need to spend one hour.

41:40 That is true. But what what are you going to do? You just going to put anything out?

41:42 No. No. I bet I could work towards something, you know.

41:45 Well, I don't know. Maybe maybe you're right. Maybe maybe you call my bluff.

41:48 Okay, I'll spend one time, one hour.

41:51 You would do this.

41:52 I am. Yeah, I would like to go first. I'm going to take a small yellow.

41:55 Small yellow.

41:56 I see plenty off screen over there. So,

41:58 this is going to cover up our

41:59 There are five.

42:00 There are five in each color in each color of that one.

42:02 This will cover up this blue over here. Okay.

42:04 So, blue will go down one.

42:06 Yellow will go up one.

42:07 Justice for blue. Really?

42:08 Justice for blue. And because I did that, we have

42:12 I'll I'll show you exactly what I'll

42:14 Yeah, you have to.

42:15 We have on a road. So,

42:17 we want three adjacent roads to have at least one yellow. One yellow. We can clearly see.

42:23 This has plenty of yellow.

42:25 And then the one I just created. So, one, two, three. Just like that.

42:27 Now, you do have to be careful with the roads because they do dead end, but this one is.

42:30 So, let me remove this. Yeah.

42:32 See, it goes right into the water, which makes perfect sense. No bridge,

42:35 but there are still three adjacent on the road. So, very nice.

42:38 Another blueprint. How many blueprints do you have done? Because whoever done the most gets three.

42:41 Four, five, six, seven.

42:43 I only have five.

42:43 You have five. How many do you have in your hand?

42:45 You want to know?

42:46 Yeah.

42:46 One, two, three, four, five.

42:48 I have five. So you have 10.

42:50 The potential. Yeah. So if you The more you take, the more potential you have to do.

42:54 But then the more on the hook you are.

42:57 It's true.

42:59 That's it. That's

43:00 So is the conundrum. All right.

43:01 We're halfway through the game, but

43:03 we are.

43:04 Actions are going to be more expensive. They are.

43:06 So it's going to actually snowball a little Well, I mean, I guess the way that we played it though, there are still empty foundations. So, it really depends

43:12 the river over here. Yeah.

43:13 And there's some over here. So, it really just depends on the direction that we go in. But anywh who, that is the end of day three.

43:18 Yep.

43:19 And so, we are going to go ahead and move back 12 hours. Now, we have a stack here.

43:23 No over time.

43:23 So, the stack stays in the same relative order. We are going into day four. We're halfway through. And now, in the case of a stack, whoever's on top of the stack decides how many blueprints to take first, which is great for me. Nine. How many? I'll take two.

43:37 Two. That's great because that means I only have to take two as well.

43:41 Have to.

43:42 I only must take two. I You don't have to. I can still decide up to four, but

43:47 I'm on the hook for two. All right. You are first.

43:50 I am first. Yep. All right. I'm going to spend three time.

43:53 Oh,

43:54 three hours.

43:54 What are you doing?

43:55 We're going to break away the chains of purple.

43:58 Really?

43:59 Goodbye, purple. So, down.

44:00 You did that, didn't you? Did you do that? I guess you don't have no need for that.

44:04 I don't remember anymore. Yeah. So 10 goes down to seven. We've exposed red, so it goes up by one, two.

44:10 Nice.

44:11 There you go.

44:12 That's actually great.

44:13 Yeah,

44:13 that is the thing that you kind of have to really consider the fact that the market values are only pertinent to these contracts

44:20 because once the contract is done, you're not

44:24 you don't care. Yeah. You're not committed to this color company. We as architects do not belong to these color companies.

44:30 All right. So now it's to me, right?

44:32 Yes.

44:32 I'm going to do something simple while I can. Can I spend one time, please, for a red? Do we still have a small

44:37 We have The last small red is now been taken.

44:40 Oh, the pressure.

44:42 Where you going to put?

44:43 This is an important decision. Where to place this?

44:46 Mhm.

44:46 I feel like I'm going to mess this up.

44:48 Oh, well, I'll place it here.

44:50 So, green goes down by one. Green is too high.

44:52 You didn't like that.

44:53 I'm I'm safeguarding the future cuz I don't necessarily know that I

44:58 need green to go down, but green is just too high.

45:00 It has enough space.

45:01 It has enough. Yes. So, I'm doing that and I'm going to fulfill this contract that I've been working on for so long. What?

45:06 So, green is greater than orange. It's greater than red is greater than purple. Purple was

45:10 So, my breaking down of the purple was helpful.

45:12 Yes, it was. It was grand. Thank you.

45:15 So, that's another red. So, now I'm at four red contracts, which is nice. What do I need? Four of the same is two prestige. I'm already scoring a bonus for that.

45:25 You are.

45:25 Okay. So, I would like to collect more red. And I also need a blue and orange. Okay. I have so many blueprints. I'm I'm always tempted to draw contracts when I don't have anymore. But I think I think I need to focus.

45:36 The contracts can you can you synergize the blueprints with the

45:39 I know, but they they like they haven't been synergizing clearly. So I need

45:44 maybe this draw will be the draw.

45:45 No, I need to focus. I think um let's just do two simple turns. I'm going to go with a one time for a small blue. So let's do this.

45:56 Look at you go.

45:57 I know. Now I'm going to put them anywhere. I'll place it here. So red down.

46:01 So yeah, red down one.

46:02 You need red for one moment.

46:04 Blue up one.

46:05 There it is.

46:06 I'm going to spend one more time.

46:07 Look at you

46:08 to do it again. This time it's going to be orange.

46:12 So small half orange.

46:14 So red,

46:14 which is going to go here. So red down one, orange up one.

46:17 Orange up one.

46:18 And I'm completing

46:19 what is this?

46:19 A small half arc.

46:20 Okay.

46:21 Blue orange. It's literally that.

46:23 So that's that.

46:24 Blueprint queen over here.

46:25 Yeah, I know. Let's go with uh two time. Anything else?

46:30 To get a medium half orange.

46:33 Back in the orange game, huh?

46:34 Back in the orange game on top of this blue.

46:36 Oh, blue goes down.

46:36 So, blue goes down one, orange goes up two. And now I have a medium on small. So, you know, I just built that small.

46:43 This is bothering me. All this is bothering me.

46:46 Anything else?

46:47 Synergies. Anything else you want me to do more?

46:49 Oh, no. It's my turn actually. So, you're done.

46:52 No, that's it for me. So, now it goes to

46:54 I'd like to go two turns in a row.

46:55 Okay, you will.

46:56 And so, I'm going to spend two time.

46:58 Okay. Can I have a medium orange to go on that? H

47:01 an orange on an orange.

47:02 Sorry, that's not right. That's incorrect. I'm sorry. A blue. A medium blue.

47:06 Medium blue. That's weird. We're flip-flopping.

47:08 No, no. Yeah,

47:09 there you go.

47:09 You'll see.

47:10 So, orange is going to go down by one.

47:12 Orange one.

47:13 Blue up two.

47:14 Blue up one. Two. That's good for

47:16 Okay.

47:18 Blue. Orange on the medium. Nice. There you go.

47:20 Yeah, that was kind of bad for me.

47:22 Kind of set that up. So, that's me. I think I am going to take three times.

47:27 Three time. One, two, three.

47:28 That's expensive.

47:29 I'm going to cap this thing off with a big blue.

47:32 Big blue.

47:32 Huge.

47:33 Huge. There we go. So, red goes down.

47:36 Red goes down two. One, two.

47:37 Blue goes up three.

47:38 Blue goes up three.

47:40 One, two, three.

47:41 Was that right?

47:42 Uh, that.

47:43 No, it goes up. It was five.

47:45 Mhm.

47:45 Okay. So, you've completed a rainbow.

47:47 I did.

47:47 You get a contract.

47:48 Thank you.

47:49 There you go. All right.

47:50 Anything to complete before I take my turn,

47:52 you know? Yes. This to complete

47:55 uh in a river. So you want uh blue in the same in adjacent river in an adjacent river space.

48:00 So adjacent in a river.

48:02 Yeah. So this this and this would be all the same river. Yeah.

48:05 So we have a blue piece here and a blue piece there. Nice.

48:07 So I've created such a thing.

48:08 Yes, you have.

48:09 All right.

48:10 Okay. Let's go one time. Do we have orange small? Okay. Second to last one. Okay.

48:16 So I'm going to place this here. Blue goes down one.

48:18 Blue down one.

48:19 Orange up one.

48:19 Orange up one.

48:21 Okay. I have completed on a road. So, this is the same road and they each have they're adjacent and they each include at least one orange piece. You can see them.

48:30 Yep.

48:31 So, there's that. I'm now going to spend two times. So, one, two

48:36 to place a medium half orange.

48:40 So, we're

48:40 Oh, no, not orange. Sorry. A medium half yellow. So, this one

48:44 yellow on top of

48:44 on top of the orange.

48:46 So, orange down one yellow up too. Our contracts are going to be angry because we're not considering them at all. So, we'll see what happens. But that's a blueprint. Medium yellow on small orange.

49:00 So, there's that. And now I'm down to three blueprints, which is great. Is it contract time? One, two, three, four, five. It's not bad.

49:08 Could be a good time. Yeah,

49:09 could be a great time. Let's do it.

49:11 All right. So, you're spending five.

49:13 Yeah.

49:13 So, you're going to go from three to eight.

49:14 Yeah.

49:15 Draw three.

49:16 Draw three.

49:16 Trash

49:17 and discard one. So, let me just take a look at these because we did a lot of damage to

49:22 the market. Many damages,

49:24 you know. What color do I need? I need

49:26 I need blue and orange and red. All right. I'm going to discard this one.

49:33 And I'm going to complete a contract.

49:35 Before anything else happens, we need blue equal to purple.

49:38 Nice.

49:38 So, there's that.

49:39 It's another green. It's just one point.

49:41 It's one prestige. So,

49:43 okay, that's it for me. So, now it is to you for the rest of the day.

49:46 All right. All right, I'm going to spend three time.

49:48 I'm going to go from three to six. And I am going to break this apart.

49:53 Oh,

49:53 off it goes. So, purple is going to go down three. One, two, three.

49:58 So, that's that.

49:59 Green goes up two.

50:00 Green goes up two. Yes, thank you. One, two. And now I have my last I cannot take contracts here. So, I'm actually going to spend two times so I can be right on top.

50:07 Okay.

50:08 And I am going to take a medium red

50:11 where two

50:11 and put it on top of this blue right here.

50:14 Okay.

50:14 So, there we go. So, blue's going to go down one, red's going to go up one, two, and the grind has been completed.

50:22 What?

50:23 Green

50:24 above all else.

50:26 Followed by purple. What a grind to get that purple all the way down.

50:30 Yeah, good job.

50:31 Thanks. So, that's that that. Now, look how many purples I have, though. One, two, three, four, five. I have five purple.

50:37 Yeah, that's nice.

50:37 That's good.

50:38 That's scoring you

50:39 four four extra points. Four extra points.

50:41 So, what I have here plus four.

50:42 That's great.

50:43 Okay, so that's that. That That's at the end of the day.

50:45 At the end of the day.

50:46 Oh, yeah. Oh, sorry.

50:46 This blueprint.

50:47 Ah,

50:47 why? The reason why I did it in this manner. Blue on top of uh red.

50:52 No, the other way. Medium red on top of a blue.

50:54 Yeah.

50:54 Yeah.

50:54 Spoken wrong showed correctly. Yeah.

50:56 Yeah.

50:56 There we go.

50:57 You got it.

50:58 Okay.

50:58 Okay. So, that's it. That is the end of day four. So, we have two more final rounds.

51:04 These blueprints

51:04 before Yeah, you better complete these blueprints. I only have three left in my hand. One contract, though. So, the contracts, they don't score you any negative points for not completing them. So there's no pressure there. You just you want to do it, you know. All right, let's go move back 12 hours. So we both start at 8 a.m. You are on top of the stack at 8.

51:21 We're going to move into day five.

51:22 The last

51:23 and starting with you,

51:24 I'm taking one blueprint.

51:25 One blueprint.

51:26 I don't trust myself. I I've reserved the three wins to you.

51:30 I will take two.

51:32 Two blueprints. Oh, you already said you reserve. H I should not have done that. Well, I can always just take one in the final day after

51:39 to make up for it.

51:40 All right. Yeah, it's you.

51:42 Okay. All right. Purple's been hanging out down here. What What do we say about bringing that up a little bit?

51:46 Um, I can't say.

51:47 You

51:47 cool with that?

51:48 I'm not allowed to say, actually.

51:50 All right, then. So, I'm gonna uh spend two time.

51:53 Okay.

51:54 And I'm going to put this purple on top of this one right here.

51:59 So, we're going to just get rid of one yellow down.

52:02 Purple up.

52:03 What are you doing?

52:04 Is that wrong? Oh, I took the big one. Sorry.

52:06 What was that?

52:06 I took the big one.

52:08 Oh, I see. I see. From the side view, that looked ridiculous.

52:11 All right. Thank Okay. So, the medium, you spent two time. Yes.

52:14 Putting that on top. So, yellow went down one.

52:15 Yellow went down one, but purple is purple up two. Okay.

52:17 Okay.

52:18 All right.

52:18 Um I wish I had a contract that said do all those three things, but I don't. Oh, before you take your turn, I want the same result, but I just want this one here.

52:26 Oh, strange.

52:27 And the reason for that is because I I've been This is one of my original cards. Have three on the same road.

52:33 Oh, okay.

52:34 One, two, three. So, the math's the same. I just put it in the wrong spot.

52:37 That blueprint.

52:37 Yeah. So, this blueprint's done.

52:39 All right. So now it's to me and I really want to complete this contract. There's no more There are no more of these. Huh?

52:47 Small red.

52:48 The small red halves.

52:49 No.

52:50 Do I spend two to put that on or do I just

52:53 You could Yeah, you can do this.

52:55 I could break this for three.

52:57 You could.

52:58 I'll just break this for three. Is that silly? Cuz I'm spending one. I'll spend two.

53:01 I don't know what you're doing.

53:02 I'm going to spend two. I'll spend two time

53:04 so that way I can still take another turn. And I'll put on the red.

53:07 The regular Yeah,

53:08 red.

53:08 Yeah, red. So, red is going to go up two.

53:10 See, I don't even know if No, not not here. Sorry.

53:13 Oh, sorry.

53:13 Uh, let's go here.

53:14 Okay. So, green is going to go down two. One, two. Green has Green's gone. Red is up two.

53:20 Yeah. Yeah. Could not have been yellow because I'm completing this contract. It needs green to be above yellow. Above red, above blue.

53:26 Nice.

53:27 Okay. So, there's that. It's another red. So, now I have five red

53:31 red stamps as well.

53:33 Okay. And then I get to go again. By the way, I also have this blueprint. Two small half arcs, green and purple.

53:40 Very nice.

53:41 Then I'm gonna spend two time.

53:43 Okay.

53:44 Oops. One, two. Two. Put a medium half orange here.

53:49 So green is going to come down.

53:50 One.

53:51 One.

53:51 Orange goes up too.

53:52 What do you got with orange?

53:53 A medium on a small. So medium orange on a small green, which is what I did just there. Okay.

53:59 Okay. Uh I think that's it. So that's back to you.

54:03 So uh in my previous turn, I meant to satisfy this. So let me just do this now.

54:07 Oh, okay. I did that. There you go.

54:09 Yeah. Yeah. Nice. That was never going to be undone.

54:10 It was never going to be undone. So, I I waited till you turn this over. Okay. I'm going to spend one time.

54:14 Okay.

54:15 Can I get a small blue?

54:16 Where?

54:16 I'm going to put it right here on this.

54:18 It's going to cover up a red.

54:19 The red goes down one.

54:20 Blue goes up one. Are you completing anything?

54:22 Uh, no.

54:23 Well, I am.

54:24 I did that.

54:24 Thank you, Naveen. Oh my gosh. I've been having to think about this for so long. On a road. Blue pieces. One. This is many a blue piece. Two. And three. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

54:36 That was not on purpose. It wasn't. It really wasn't.

54:39 It was much appreciated, though.

54:40 Yeah. Well, the reason why I put one there,

54:42 Yeah.

54:43 was so I can get one more small blue. So, I'm going to spend one time.

54:46 Okay.

54:46 Uh, can I

54:47 This is the last one.

54:48 That's the last one.

54:49 Yes. Where are you putting it?

54:50 Uh, I'm going to put it here with this one.

54:53 Okay.

54:54 So, green is going to come down one.

54:55 Yeah.

54:56 Blue is going to go up one.

54:58 And the reason why I did that

54:59 was have between two rivers. Have three blue in this section here. So, the one, two, and then three. Oh yeah,

55:07 there you go.

55:07 Yeah.

55:08 So that was a setup to get you, but then that was a setup to get to. It's kind of balanced out a little bit.

55:12 Okay. Well, it's still your me. Yeah. Yeah. So I will spend two time.

55:16 Okay.

55:16 And can I have a medium red? Which I think I have. Medium red.

55:19 Okay.

55:19 Is medium red is just going to go Sorry. Medium blue. I apologize. Yeah. Yeah.

55:23 Okay. Here.

55:23 I keep doing that to myself. This one's going to go here.

55:26 Okay.

55:26 So red is going to go down one.

55:28 Okay. And blue is going to go up to one. Two. And that is going to satisfy this blueprint, which is

55:34 Oh, medium half.

55:35 Medium half.

55:37 Very nice.

55:38 Okay.

55:38 All right.

55:38 Do you have a blueprint count?

55:40 Oh, blueprint count.

55:41 Yeah, let's just do it right now. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12.

55:47 14.

55:49 You already resigned yourself to the blueprint. The blueprint category. 14. I have two in my hand, so 16.

55:55 One in hand.

55:56 Possible.

55:57 Just give it to me. All right. I'm going to take two uh spend two hours. Okay.

56:02 I'm gonna place I'm going to do this now while I still can. Um can I do the medium half arc in green?

56:07 Medium half arc green. Got it.

56:08 Please. I've been wanting to do this for I think several days now.

56:12 So, this is going to go here. So, purple goes down one.

56:14 Purple down one.

56:15 Please. Blue up or green up. Yeah.

56:18 Medium half arcs in orange and green.

56:20 There you go.

56:21 So, I've been wanting to do to do that for a while. And then I will spend one. Well, do I go one, two, three, four, five.

56:29 That's good.

56:30 It is. I'll do that.

56:32 I'm gonna draw three. I'm going draw three and keep one.

56:35 Draw three. Keep one.

56:36 Let's do the contracts cuz now we're going into the final day that I need blue and orange.

56:42 I don't know if I'll be able to do it. All right. I'm going to discard this one. These are these are going to be an interesting challenge. We'll see.

56:48 Yeah.

56:49 Yeah.

56:50 Okay. I'm going to spend two time.

56:52 Okay. And then can I have the full arc purple here? So I'm going to do that. It's going to be this one.

56:57 That one. So those are the rare pieces.

56:59 Yeah, rare pieces. There's only one of those per color.

57:01 So yellow goes down too.

57:03 One, two. Purple goes up. One, two. Two.

57:05 Just like that.

57:06 M.

57:07 Then I'm going to do another big piece here.

57:10 A big piece. Okay. So that is full medium is four.

57:14 So I'm going to make it red.

57:15 So one, two, three, four.

57:17 So we're going to put that on top like that.

57:19 So yellow goes down two.

57:20 Can you help me out with that? Sorry. Yellow goes down two

57:22 and red goes up four.

57:24 Goes up one, two, three, four. And

57:26 the reason for that, this is a grind to do that. Uh, yellow is all the way up there. Orange is greater than everything else in the last one is yellow.

57:34 Wow.

57:35 It was too bad. I couldn't do the inverse cuz that would have been my last purple and it's worth more, but the the pulling of that was just way too difficult to do. So,

57:43 I'll just take the point.

57:44 And before we do anything else,

57:45 what have you done? You help me

57:49 or you get more points than I do.

57:51 Red is good yellow.

57:53 It's It's a purple stamp. I already I already have that. But it is two prestige which is nice. Do you have anything else?

57:58 No, I just have one blueprint card in my hand going into this last round. So that's kind of

58:01 Well, you will be able to draw more.

58:03 So anyway, that is the end of the pen ultimate day. That was the end of day five. So now we're going into the final day. Scary times. Um

58:11 think wisely.

58:12 I'm thinking

58:12 when you decide to draw blueprints, but let's go ahead and go back 12 hours. So, I go to 7 a.m.

58:17 All right.

58:18 And Naveen goes to 8:00 a.m. Going into day six. Now, keep in mind that the tiebreaker, if we end the game in a tie,

58:26 is going to go to the player who ended the final day earlier on the time track.

58:30 Took less time. Yeah,

58:31 basically. Yeah, it took less time. So, uh, it's starting with you, Navine. How many blueprints would you like to draw?

58:36 I have one in hand.

58:37 What you thinking?

58:38 All right, I might as well go for it. I'm going to take two.

58:40 Two?

58:40 Yeah.

58:42 Going for it.

58:43 I don't have enough time.

58:44 Go for it. I'll take two.

58:45 Yeah, I know.

58:46 I'll also take two.

58:48 Let's see. Let's just see.

58:50 Okay.

58:50 Hopefully, none of them are impossible. So, anyway, it's me first

58:54 and I'm going to do something expensive.

58:56 Um, kind of right off the bat, which is a little bit unfortunate.

58:59 Five for three contest.

59:00 I'm going to spend three.

59:02 Okay, never mind.

59:03 Three time, please.

59:04 All right.

59:05 I'm putting out a half large. Now, the color. What color? Let's just go yellow. I don't like that yellow is so low. But I'm doing it so low.

59:14 So two down. Oh. Oh. Oh.

59:16 Maybe I could do it here so I can get draw a contract. I spent the time sense to do it there. Yeah,

59:21 it makes more sense to do it here. So green goes down by two.

59:24 One, two,

59:24 and yellow goes up by three.

59:26 So to eight. Okay.

59:27 All right. I get to draw a contract for my troubles. And now I will fulfill this contract that needed red equal to green equal to blue.

59:36 So there's that. It's a blue contract. So, if I can find an orange one, I'll complete my good.

59:42 Anyway,

59:43 that was a dagger contract right there for me.

59:44 Contracts are a mess. Sorry. All right. Goes to you.

59:46 All right. Spending one time.

59:48 One time.

59:48 Can I have a tiny orange? The last tiny orange. Please tell me it's there.

59:52 It's still there.

59:52 Thank you.

59:53 Just for you. Was waiting for you.

59:56 Not as glorious as yours, but there we go. I did that. And that is the reason why I did that was this.

1:00:01 Oh, wait. Let me let me uh Sorry. Green goes down, orange goes up. That's the rules. Yes.

1:00:06 Then because I did this.

1:00:07 Yeah. You completed your your

1:00:09 blueprint done. And I have this blueprint I believe completed in districts. So orange is here one.

1:00:14 Yeah.

1:00:15 Orange is here two.

1:00:17 Uh three

1:00:18 and then orange is here four.

1:00:20 Nice.

1:00:20 Yeah, they have that symbol right there.

1:00:22 Right.

1:00:22 That is done.

1:00:23 Very good.

1:00:24 Okay. Okay. I need a contract. I have none.

1:00:26 Okay.

1:00:27 Uh I could spend three hours basically to draw two and discard one

1:00:32 or I can complete a rainbow

1:00:34 to take one to take one

1:00:35 with no option. But then it that takes that away from you from your ability to manipulate for your contract. So I'm going to do that instead. I'm going to spend three.

1:00:42 Wow.

1:00:43 He's like, I can do the thing that's bad for you

1:00:46 with accidentally help you into it. That's

1:00:49 hopefully this destroys your strategy.

1:00:52 I'm going to

1:00:53 here.

1:00:54 Yeah. The only place. Yeah.

1:00:55 Okay.

1:00:56 Let's just put Let's just put a blue.

1:00:59 Blue.

1:00:59 I don't know. This This is me not knowing at all. So green goes down two

1:01:03 goes down two. Blue goes up three. Three.

1:01:06 I have no idea. I get a contract. There you go. This be something good.

1:01:08 I hope it's terrible. I hope you can never complete it.

1:01:11 Okay. Thank you.

1:01:13 I'm just kidding. Appcate. Awful. So, so not nice. That was mean.

1:01:16 All right. Done.

1:01:17 That's it.

1:01:18 Okay. Spending one time. Can I have a small half green, please?

1:01:21 Small.

1:01:22 Yeah, I see it.

1:01:23 This last one right here.

1:01:24 Don't pretend like it's not there.

1:01:25 Your name. What are you doing?

1:01:26 Yeah, I have to place it here.

1:01:28 So, blue goes down one.

1:01:29 Green up one.

1:01:31 Green up one. Yes, I needed it because I also have the four or more green in districts and I was surprised that there weren't already.

1:01:39 So, the one you put out.

1:01:40 So, one, two.

1:01:41 Uhhuh.

1:01:42 Um,

1:01:42 three.

1:01:43 Yeah, three and four. This one has a couple of green bases. So,

1:01:47 that was literally the fourth one.

1:01:48 Well, that was nice.

1:01:49 Okay, so I can keep going. I'm going to spend two. Well, yeah, I guess I'll worry about the rest of it later. I'll spend two time cuz this needs to be done to put a half green medium, please.

1:02:00 Half green medium. Yeah, cuz this doesn't exist anywhere on the board. Sometimes it's surprising that like this late in the game, it's not already there. I'm going to place it here.

1:02:09 So, red goes down.

1:02:10 So, red goes down one, green up two.

1:02:12 Okay.

1:02:12 And that is my medium green on a small red.

1:02:15 Nice.

1:02:16 So, there's that blueprint.

1:02:17 All right.

1:02:18 And now it's you.

1:02:19 Well, now that you set that up, that's good for me. Uh I will take a two time.

1:02:23 Okay.

1:02:24 Let's go a medium uh blue. The last one.

1:02:27 Last. This is the last one. Oh, that's big. Sorry. This one. There we go. That's going to go on top of here.

1:02:32 A lot of blue out there.

1:02:33 So, purple is going to go down one,

1:02:35 I believe.

1:02:36 And uh blue goes up one, two, and then

1:02:39 blue has seen a lot of business.

1:02:40 Satisfies this.

1:02:42 Yep.

1:02:42 Green and blue.

1:02:43 Green and blue.

1:02:43 There we go. All right.

1:02:44 All right. So, now it's to me. I don't have that much time left. I do have a one contract, one blueprint. Unfortunately, I don't think this blueprint's going to happen.

1:02:53 Oh, that's good. I think it's going to be negative one prestige, but this I can try to spend the rest of the day trying to make true.

1:03:01 It's going to be tough, I imagine. So, I think I will literally spend the rest of my day doing this and end at the earliest time possible.

1:03:10 Taking a contract.

1:03:12 I am spending six time. One, two, three, four, five, six. To build the biggest layer of the rainbow.

1:03:20 We have never done this. I don't think we've ever done this in a game. Okay.

1:03:24 But I'm doing it. Boom. I'm covering up this entire thing. So, red goes down four.

1:03:29 Four. Yeah. One, two, three, four. Yellow. Yellow goes up six. Eight to 14. Oh, you don't have this

1:03:35 zero to hero.

1:03:36 No way.

1:03:37 No, I have this.

1:03:38 It's yellow, then green, then purple, then red. It needed that. That literally needed to happen. Wow.

1:03:44 Because if I did any like small minute movements just for Naveen to undo it, oh my gosh, that would have been awful.

1:03:51 Awful, I tell you. and I get a contract because I completed that rainbow. So, let's see if either of these things can be Can it be? It cannot be.

1:04:02 Okay, good.

1:04:03 I was not lucky. I did not get to fulfill this one. But it's not over yet because if Naveen does something to manipulate the board to make this true, I can still score it.

1:04:13 Be careful, Naveen. That is your warning.

1:04:15 Word of warning.

1:04:16 But that's it. That's the end of my game.

1:04:18 All right. All right. Well, I'm going to spend uh three time.

1:04:20 Okay.

1:04:21 To try to get my contract satisfied. So, I'm going to take a big green, the largest green.

1:04:25 Largest green.

1:04:26 Oh, sorry. A big purple. Sorry.

1:04:28 Big purple half

1:04:29 on top of this green here. Okay.

1:04:31 So, green goes down one, two, purple goes up one, two, three, and then aha.

1:04:36 Orange is greater than purple. Okay.

1:04:39 Which is greater than green.

1:04:40 Nice.

1:04:41 And then that's that.

1:04:42 That's that.

1:04:43 Uh, so if I want a chance at a contract, I should just cover this up here. This one?

1:04:48 Yeah.

1:04:49 Yeah. With what color? So, it's going to be three times.

1:04:52 Let's just cover it up with red.

1:04:53 So, you're doing it?

1:04:54 Yeah.

1:04:54 One, two, three. So, you will lose on the tiebreaker.

1:04:58 Okay. I'm I'm going for it, you know. All right. Orange down two.

1:05:02 One, two,

1:05:03 red up three.

1:05:04 Yeah.

1:05:05 I hope now I get to draw. I hope I draw a card that says these need to be the same or these need to be the same.

1:05:10 Good luck.

1:05:11 What is it?

1:05:12 Oh, you're revealing it.

1:05:13 Why not?

1:05:14 Oh. Oh.

1:05:15 Oh, no. Oh, no. They're equal to.

1:05:19 Yeah, it wouldn't have worked out either way.

1:05:21 So close though. Like just all this have to go like

1:05:23 like all you need is a blue to cover a red.

1:05:26 Yeah, that was pretty close. Alas, it is not true.

1:05:30 It is not completed. You do not get that one, Naveen.

1:05:32 I know.

1:05:33 All right, that is it. That is the end of the final day. Day six. We are now into overtime. We're not going to move these architect tokens because we need to know where we ended just in case the game goes to a tie. Sure.

1:05:46 Let's go into final scoring, shall we?

1:05:48 Okay.

1:05:48 All right. So, first things first, we're going to score one prestige point for each completed blueprint in our scoring pile. So, how many did you end up with?

1:05:55 You got me here. One, two, three, 15.

1:05:58 17.

1:05:59 Yes.

1:06:00 So, I scored 17.

1:06:02 Vivian scores 15.

1:06:03 And then you get

1:06:04 because I scored more blueprints, I get the city council bonus of three prestige.

1:06:10 So, yours is basically 20 to 15 right now.

1:06:12 Yeah.

1:06:12 Okay. Now any incomplete blueprints also go into your play area rotated to their negative star side because they are minus one prestige. So I am going to score minus one for that.

1:06:23 I don't have that.

1:06:23 So it was really just a two prestige bonus then think about it. Next we are going to score our contract stamp bonuses. Now again this is going to be specific to a two-player game when it comes to the specific values. So in other player counts it will probably be different for having different stamps. If you have five different, it's one additional prestige. And six different, which is all six, it's three additional prestige.

1:06:44 So, I only have four colors. I have orange, yellow, red, and purple. I did not get this green that I drew. That was so close.

1:06:51 So, I

1:06:51 So, I'm not going to get any bonus there.

1:06:53 One, two, three, four, five. I don't think I I

1:06:58 So, five different is one additional point.

1:07:00 So, one additional prestige. Okay. We also score for having uh many of one color, the most of one color. Yeah.

1:07:07 So, basically, choose your most abundant color.

1:07:09 And how many of of those stamps do you have?

1:07:12 Five purple. So, five of the same type is going to be an extra four points.

1:07:17 Okay. I also have five. I have five red.

1:07:19 Okay. So, we both get four points.

1:07:20 Yeah. Additional four points. Now, we are going to make sure we maintain the orientation of the contracts. And you're going to score the prestige points. They're at the top lefthand corner. So, shall we just go in order?

1:07:32 Yeah.

1:07:32 All right. So, I have 1 + 3 is 4 + 3 is 7. 10 11 12 13 + 3 is 16

1:07:40 + 4 is 20 22 23 24 plus 3 is 27

1:07:44 27 right

1:07:45 good man

1:07:46 27 all right how about you I don't have that many

1:07:50 I' I've already counted it but 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18

1:07:57 18

1:07:57 I feel like 18 was not bad but when I hear 20 plus I'm like

1:08:02 well let's find out one in every category. All right. Well, I'm gonna go ahead and do some math and I'll get back to you with our final scores. All right. The final scores are in and they are me with 51 to Naveen with 37.

1:08:15 That's it.

1:08:16 That means Oh, I am the head architect.

1:08:19 Yes.

1:08:19 Of rainbow.

1:08:20 I'm on B team here.

1:08:21 You're on B team. That's okay.

1:08:24 51. 51.

1:08:25 Yeah.

1:08:25 Wow.

1:08:26 That was a tougher one, I feel like, than we've played lately because I feel like we would drew our contracts and our blueprints. you try to find synergies with them and if you don't

1:08:34 you got grind it out.

1:08:36 You got to really make it happen on the board, you know.

1:08:39 Yeah. We had a lot of uh like push and pull like sometimes like you would want a yellow somewhere or a green somewhere and it's like I need that to be further down. Way further down. Yeah.

1:08:48 So like you have to figure out like with the blueprints you have

1:08:52 because you want to try to score those along the way.

1:08:54 How are you going to manipulate the board and manipulate the market to make your contracts worth it?

1:08:58 Yeah. And then the the decision point is though like how many blueprints to take like

1:09:02 yes that is surprisingly

1:09:04 getting that extra plus three that plus three minus three that's a six point swing

1:09:07 and it's a big puzzle in the end like the cards especially cards like this and then these ones where you really need certain color companies to be at extremes on the track or if you need to make a big change you know a dramatic change quickly that's when these big pieces are really nice because putting them on the board and removing them makes such a big dramatic difference and it's nice when you have those big aha moments where you sort of place something on and it puts it exactly into place, you know.

1:09:35 Now, of course, we playing a two-player game. So, in a two-player game, you have a lot more control in terms of the turn order. You can sort of math out like if I take these small movements, then I can go next, you know, whereas in higher player counts, it's not going to be that simple because a lot more people will be manipulating the board. You may find yourself in instances where you'll be able to complete things on other players turn easier. you know, higher player count game,

1:09:58 but it might also be that many more turns before it actually gets back to you. But it really depends on how much time you allocate to taking your actions. So, even in a higher player count, if you're just taking 1 hour, 1 hour, 1 hour, you can maybe take three actions in a row.

1:10:09 That's true. But also keep in mind that in higher player counts, you will play fewer days. So, it seems like in general, you'll probably take fewer actions.

1:10:17 We had no empty foundations. That's good. Some games, some games like we've gone and just only like focused on, you know, 15 of them. It really just depends on where the contracts and the blueprints take you.

1:10:28 But there you go. That was Rainbow Boulevard at 2. Now again, the game will also have two additional optional modules that you can play with. There's a coffee break expansion module that adds coffee break tokens to the time track. And basically, the first player to reach those tokens gets to benefit from them.

1:10:43 And there's the bright ideas module that gives players some sort of asymmetric ability.

1:10:47 Well, there you have it. That is Rainbow Boulevard. Now, this game is coming to Kickstarter in the coming days. If you're interested in the campaign, there's going to be a link to their pre-launch page down in the description.
