This may be the best teach I've seen of any game I've looked up. It was so smooth and methodical and thorough. Great job Edward.

[@elqord.1118]

I love the gameplay but man is that map and universe uninteresting and lacking personality. The planets don’t have names, the locations mean nothing. Feels much more like an abstract game than it should. Does the campaign flesh this world out or will we always refer to these planets as “I will go to this yellow planet for an oil barrel”. That feels like a lot of potential was wasted to make this more thematic

[@grandad1982]

The wooden bits are so much nicer than the plastic! Thanks for the stream.

[@JoostN86]

This guy knows how to explain rules. Well done!

[@harisiadis]

Edward knows how to present the rules in a way that is easy to understand and absorb. He really prepares us to play the game right away. I appreciate his approach and compared to other videos that present the rules of Arcs, his way was the most helpful. Thank you very much!.

That combat system...god damn, why do all the games with space battles use dice for combat? I want to play a boardgame not craps. Well, more money to spend on something else.

[@brianturow5986]

Had a chance to play this game twice so far. On the second playthrough, once I got the hang of managing the cards, the game really clicked for me and I started to thoroughly enjoy it.

Looking forward to your 3 Act campaign game with Regents, Outlaws, Imperial Fleets, Edicts, Summits, 24 Plot Lines and the dreaded Blight! The campaign system is what Arcs was ultimately designed for.

[@soIarjetman]

Big fan of your Oath streams, and this was a great game of Arcs. I think you are all going to love the campaign.

[@CATPLANET24]

Thank you for this play-through!

[@albertrenfred7673]

I have only discovered this channel two months ago and have watched some of you guy’s older videos, and I gotta say that Edward is probably the best guy on RUclips to be able to coherently explain board game rules without it sounding overwhelming to newcomers. I have been able to enjoy watching you guys play board games I have never heard of and probably never even going to try getting into mostly due to Edward’s rule explanations. So thank you Edward for your work, and I look forward to seeing you explain more board game rules and watching you guys play more board games.

"there are ... 🤘2 options"

[@spectrumunit]

I think Edward made a mistake I have also been making prior when explaining the catapult move action. You have to stop movement either wenn you a) hit a sector, that somebody else is controlling or b) move to a planet. It does not matter, wether it is in control of anybody or not, you just have to stop if you move to a sector with a planet on it. (See Arcs rulebook p. 13).

[@BoromirTheGrey]

I've watched a few of these vids and have to say Edward does an excellent job of teaching the game. Reminds me of myself amongst my gamer group. I have to learn the game, teach it, and then play, as well as answer questions during the game. I understand the extra work. Keep it up. Cheers

[@OnionMortgage]

Awesome! love when this channel plays the games that interest me, y'all are so articulate with your actions, it gives me ideas of how to play myself. Really excited for this one.

[@reigningmeeples]

Fantastic playthrough, Edward! It confirmed everything that I thought Arcs was...so I bought a copy of the game (I missed the KS).
