Another great tutorial. A game w this many cards, tokens, and mechanics can feel very daunting, but you have a way of breaking it down into easily understandable elements. The best way to learn a game is to have a friend who already knows teach you and these videos feel like that. Thanks.
I played this last night for the first time and was so lost. I started to get the idea about 3/4 of the way through. I should have watched this first! Ill be ready if they bring it to the table again. You are, hands down, the best teacher of games! Thank you!
I have seen Above and Below for awhile at Barnes and Noble but never really considered it. Finally watched this play through of the game and immediately went out and bought it. What a great little game! Light hearted, quick turns yet still many decision paths to take for victory. I have had it a week and played six times already. That is why I love this channel. I get exposed to a variety of games I would never consider and also see how game play works to see if I would like them before I buy. Keep up the great work!
This is a really good game. I did not think the combo if euro style action/ villager resources + choose your own adventure would work well but it does.
What a great video! I found this super clear and helpful, and I really appreciated your warm and friendly tone throughout. I'm giving this as a gift and excited to not have to spend a half hour reading rules when we unbox it!
Wow, that is a lot to take in. I'm going to have to look at a gameplay video to see how the strategy all pans out. Also, you've officially hooked me on Neuroshima Hex with that other video. Looking forward to the next one!
Then God settles it at the pearly gates by refereeing a bout of extreme rock, paper, scissors. Loser gets the room in heaven that's right next to the ice machine.
Hey, love the videos, you do a great service to the Board Game Community, its so much easier to introduce friends with a video then reading to them out of the book.
Jeremy, it's very nice of you to take the time to leave that comment. It's certainly our hope that the videos can help get more friends gaming, more easily!
Rodney, thanks for making your videos so clear and well done. It helps in visually seeing what the game is like. I finally go this game. We played it last Sunday and it was great. My kids really liked it as well. Can't wait to get this one back to the table.
Thanks Rodney! Going to play this at lunch (long lunch) today with people that have previously played. Wanted to be able to dive right in... I can definitely do that now!
I am not sure how I missed this video, but I am glad I discovered it. Above and Below is on our list of games to try this year. As always, thank you, Rodney.
Hopefully you still answer these, cos it's been like 5 years now or something, but I have one small question In building, can I build how ever many houses I have builders for, respectively, or does the amount of builders I have not matter, and it's just a straight 1 house built is 1 action? Love your videos, keep it up g!
EDIT- @16:06, when counting end-game score from reputation track, you gain/lose VICTORY points, not reputation points. Simple verbal inversion, but from watching several of your videos I know you strive for excellence. Cheers.
Thanks Rodney. I was finally able to order this game and I am looking forward to playing this story telling adventure! The play through is excellent as always. Keep up the great work!!
Thanks so much for another great video! I love how you go over all of the instructions and then do the play through in separate videos. It makes it much easier for my gaming group to prepare every time we try one of these for the first time. Can I ask what have been your favorite games that you have played so far? And my group has a request: at some point could you do Mansions of Madness? We've been considering picking it up for a while now but there aren't any decent videos about it out there, so we don't really know what to expect. Thanks!
+Deedlit50 Mansions of Madness was actually the very first series we ever did (so it's pretty rough :) ). If you go to our channel and sort our videos by playlist, you can see every game we've every covered. As for favorite games, I talk about that a bit here: ruclips.net/video/p0Lv8LHadMc/видео.html&t=10m55s
Great play through video. Just considering the new KS expantion, Near and Far and needed to learn about the first game. This video is neutral, but super well explained, so its a clear not backing for me, but for the sole reason I have another game that is similar enough not to need both, otherwise I would have backed it and got the first one from retail. Your Zombicide Black Plague game play video was truly excellent too, keep up the great work!
I FINALLY added this game to my collection! A great pairing with my favourite game, Near & Far :D Just wondering if you have considered doing a How To Play video on Anachrony? Got that for Christmas too and it's intense!
We played with that very cool promo card of Watch It Played today. It was fun! We really enjoy this one and Near & Far a lot. Now or Never is neat, but it is very complex for us and we struggle to remember all the steps! :)
@@WatchItPlayed It was very good. My mother-in-law (a.k.a. Mom) got us this for Christmas and it was a blast. We really liked the different choice options. Thanks for a great teach!
i have just recently played this one with a variation , we just simply read out the story paragraph and not to tell the roll requirement, this way you could enjoy the story a little more, instead of only chose the option that you could actually attempt. i found that make it pretty interesting.
+Watch It Played we are pretty much playing for the story and see how it turn out, see how one would react to the situation, would you help? Would you steal? Or would you just run away, stuff like that, of course playing it this way it's definitely not gonna help you win the game and all, but give it a try, it actually make it more fun this way I think
+Suiki Yeung If you're not playing to win then you may as well play Tales of the Arabian Nights. This game is still a euro game with the associated mechanics; you need to make sensible decisions for game purposes, otherwise you're not even trying. The stories can still be fun without trivializing the rest of the effort.
+Jerry Morton Well, as far as I'm concerned, once you own a game, you're free to play and enjoy it however you like, which means you're both fine playing it as casually or seriously as you want.
+Watch It Played Of course, whatever works for whoever's playing. Enjoying it is the bottom line. Just offered up my 2c, different strokes for different folks.
Another smooth tutorial! One thing that I still haven't seen answered; are you only able to explore if you have a house with no cave under it or can you expand the cave with no houses above?
Thank you very much for the video! Now changing the subject, do you guys intent to make a "How to play" of Terra Mystica? I personally find this game very hard to explain, and sometimes people lose interest on the game based on my poor explanation skills. I think my friends would be much more interested on the game learning from you, since you are the best teacher ever =D
I could've used this two weeks ago! At least I know I taught them right! Maybe you can clear up an issue I had though; if a building gives points for resources in your possession, does that include resources on your advancement track? The wording is a little vague.
Great tutorial as always Rodney. You seem to make every game you teach us even easier, really looking forward to playing this one. One question, as i did not back this on KS do you know when the expansion will become available. I listened to the Secret Gaming Cabal’s 100th podcast where you made a special guest star appearance and this game was reviewed. Keep up the good work.
Hi Rodney! Thanks for the great videos. Just a couple questions as I foray through my own solo-two-player game: 1) do goods gained from explores (or harvests, I guess, but I'm not there yet) have to go into the advancement track immediately? You mention that the order is important but I've only got the one good and I know I can't leave a space. 2) When the original row of outposts and regular houses are gone, can they be replenished for free or does the player wishing to build have to pay to refresh in this case? Thanks again!
Hey Kurisu, 1) They do not have to be placed immediately. In the examples of the video you'll see I collect goods and just set them to the side of my board. 2) ruclips.net/video/6wNaS1HxA-Q/видео.htmlm38s
Can you take a free action on the turn you pass (before passing), or are you forced to pass right away if you do not have any workers? Also can you choose to harvest a building in two actions if you wish to? (I assume you can't multi harvest multiple building in one action too, right?)
+CrystalblueMage You may take a free action on the turn you pass. I'm not quite sure what you mean by your second question, but I'll take a guess. You may only harvest a single token with each Harvest action (so each harvested token will cost you one worker). Hope that helps!
I'm sure I missed this in the video, but I didn't feel much like scrapign through the 17 minutes looking to answer this question...but how exactly do you acquire more villagers outside of cave exploration?
Looks like a fun game! Again, very clear and informative video. I may miss that part but how many houses/ outpost can a player build at most? And what does the quill symbol mean? BTW your Acadia Quest videos made me back the Kickstarter for the latest AQ:I :P
+Mandy Law You didn't miss any rules about a maximum number of houses (because there is no maximum :) ). You can only use a villager with a quill, to take the action to train new workers (ruclips.net/video/6wNaS1HxA-Q/видео.htmlm20s) Hey - I backed AQ:I as well - hope you enjoy it :)
Sorry for my english, just a question: when you gain an object from an exploring action where do you have to put it and when? I have seen that you have to spend an action to collect something from your buildings...no actions for collecting objects from your explorations? thank you very much for the answer
You can set it aside, and place it at anytime onto your player mat, when you are ready. The action you spend when gaining something for exploring, is simply the Explore action itself that you used to start the adventure.
Is there a point in stacking more than one of the same good on the advancement track? For example, in your video, you have two pears stacked on the second slot. Is that different than having just one stacked? Seems like it is riskier to put two pears in that slot vs having it available to sell or trade since you cant remove things from the track?
You score points for each good, so having multiple there means more points. You'll find this explained here; ruclips.net/video/6wNaS1HxA-Q/видео.html Hope that helps.
Hey Loki, with so many games out there, and so little time to cover them all, I have to limit what I cover, and Print and Play games are something that don't really appeal to me personally - though I know that means I'm probably missing some cool games (again, just so many games, so little time :) )
Can you explore multiple caves a turn? Like say I have four villagers can I send two to explore them two again onto a second cave card? And also did I hear correctly that after each action you pass to the next player? So say I explore a cave, does that mean the player to my left now makes an action and I have to wait til priority comes back to me to build/train etc.
+HITFORDCYCLE1 The value you collect is the amount shown here: ruclips.net/video/6wNaS1HxA-Q/видео.htmlm4s - I - Let me know if there's something specific in that example that is unclear and I'll help from there. In short, the amount you gain is a single value (but it may be boosted by the effects of buildings you have constructed).
I hope I'm not being too pestering, but I just picked the game up and we had a question in regards to Free Actions. I understand that I can perform as many free actions as I want prior to my normal action. But can I only perform my unlimited free actions once time during the round, or, for instance, can I keep refreshing the buildings over and over again, so long as I do it prior to my normal action for the turn. Hope that makes sense.
Apologies, I don't know which card you are referring to (my copy is lent out right now). Does it appear on screen at some point that you could tell me the time stamp of?
Sorry for the very delayed response. I didn't re-watch video but I know you talk about it a little bit on your other video at 24:39 - ruclips.net/video/SAsuZ63JCEE/видео.html I'm hoping you can clarify how often, and when, players are paid for each ore/amethyt.
i ran a 4-player mock up and almost ran out of mushroom tokens. what IF you run out of tokens? sorry if this has already been covered im a little late to the game :) i've watched your family and channel grow in the last month. i had no idea the adventure that was in store for me when I started your Mansions of Madness how to and watch it played.
I tend to avoid giving personalized recommendations. What I like, someone else might not - but with both games on here, you can check them out and see which one suits your tastes best!
Great video. If I'm ever teaching this game to anyone I'll just link this :) Hope you might answer here even though its a 5 year old vid. While I don't remember the exact wording in the rules my group have played that you can spend a maximum of 1 potion and 1 cider. Around 1230 you talk about using potions and/or ciders and from your wording I get the impression that you could spend any amount of potions or ciders. So if you have 2 injured villagers it would be possible to get them ready for 2 potions and 2 ciders? Have I been playing this wrong for so long?
@@WatchItPlayed Wow that was fast. Thx for the reply. Yeah injuring villagers will be more forgiving now. It was really worth watching this. Thx again.
I tried to play this with my family but ... I didnt understand the rules and just confused my family. Been gathering dust ever since. Need to try iy again
I just bought it and I am looking forward to playing it. It seems that there is a lot going on in the game and was hoping for your fantastic instructions lol
You talk a lot about suitable replacements, Rodney, but we need some clarification, I think. I thought taking my husband's resources off his board so that I could have them on mine was a very suitable replacement, but, for some reason, Ben didn't agree. I mean, what could be a more suitable replacement than using the actual right tokens?! So what if they happened to belong to another player's stash, right? Yet, somehow, he didn't see it that way......
You can pick up your own Watch It Played Above and Below promo here: www.podpledge.com/project/382/The-Watch-It-Played-Promo-Store/shop
Definitely on my wishlist. :)
Another great tutorial. A game w this many cards, tokens, and mechanics can feel very daunting, but you have a way of breaking it down into easily understandable elements. The best way to learn a game is to have a friend who already knows teach you and these videos feel like that. Thanks.
That's really nice to hear Matthew, I always hope you feel when watching that you're just joining me to sit down and learn a game together.
I played this last night for the first time and was so lost. I started to get the idea about 3/4 of the way through. I should have watched this first! Ill be ready if they bring it to the table again. You are, hands down, the best teacher of games! Thank you!
That is very kind of you to say Cathy! I hope your next experience goes smoother :)
Once again, very clearly shown and explained. Keep up the tutorials, they help a lot.
+Simon Worger Thank you Simon, as long as I'm able, I'll keep sharing videos! I love this hobby :)
Agree - super clear presentation. I tried to watch two other videos a few months ago, and gave up. This makes sense.
I have seen Above and Below for awhile at Barnes and Noble but never really considered it. Finally watched this play through of the game and immediately went out and bought it. What a great little game! Light hearted, quick turns yet still many decision paths to take for victory. I have had it a week and played six times already. That is why I love this channel. I get exposed to a variety of games I would never consider and also see how game play works to see if I would like them before I buy. Keep up the great work!
That's really wonderful feedback. Certainly what I hope the channel can help provide. Thanks for sharing Pryde - very glad you've enjoyed the game!

I hope you all have a wonderful time playing!
"It's too dangerous to go (down there) alone" - heh, nice reference. You could have held out the dice and said "here, take these!" as well. :)
+Tor Iver Wilhelmsen The reference made me warm all over.
This is one of the most beautiful games I've seen. Ranks up there with Abyss in my opinion. Can't wait for the Gameplay!
One of the best boardgame channels!
+PERSIAAAAAN Thanks so much :)
I love the hell out of this game. I backed it on Kickstarter and I am so glad that I did. Glad to see you covering it :)
+Zero Bad Ideas It was a real pleasure to feature a Red Raven Game!
Wow, that is a lot to take in. I'm going to have to look at a gameplay video to see how the strategy all pans out.
Also, you've officially hooked me on Neuroshima Hex with that other video. Looking forward to the next one!
+MayhemMessiah It'll be coming soon!
Yours are the most concise, clear and well explained rules videos I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing all this :)
Very kind of you to say Lorenzo - thank you!
If there's still a tie even after number of buildings the tied players must then fight to the death.
+cheezeofages what if they die in the same moment like a double stab?
Then God settles it at the pearly gates by refereeing a bout of extreme rock, paper, scissors. Loser gets the room in heaven that's right next to the ice machine.

A bad habit of mine. I'm working on it :)
@@WatchItPlayed don't lose your Canadian-icity!
Such a great game, always ends so soon and leaves you wanting more! This was a great explanation, used it for our boardgame night for new players.
Glad it was helpful Aaron!

Playing this tonight for our monthly board game night. You are usually a part of it via cell phone video explaining rules to everyone, thanks Rodney!!
A pleasure to be invited to your gaming table :)
Rodney, thanks for making your videos so clear and well done. It helps in visually seeing what the game is like. I finally go this game. We played it last Sunday and it was great. My kids really liked it as well. Can't wait to get this one back to the table.
It means a lot to know you found it helpful and great to hear you all enjoyed playing!
Love your videos... They've helped my family learn how to play so many games! Your directions are so clear and easy to follow!
Hey Zachary - thanks for the kind feedback, glad you're enjoying the videos!
I've been looking at this game, and you really broke it down and made it easier to understand. Love the videos, I'll be picking this one up next.
So glad you enjoyed the video! I hope you have a great time with the game!
Thanks Rodney! Going to play this at lunch (long lunch) today with people that have previously played. Wanted to be able to dive right in... I can definitely do that now!
+Dukes of Dice Hope you have a great time playing. (PS. I enjoyed the last episode of the podcast!)
Uau, this is the first of "watch it played" and subscribed immediately. Very clear and enthusiastic! A must stop for every game I get. Thank you!
So glad you liked the video Pedro, thanks for checking it out and for sticking around!
I am not sure how I missed this video, but I am glad I discovered it. Above and Below is on our list of games to try this year. As always, thank you, Rodney.
+Stasia Doster Hey - you bet! Glad you found it Stasia.
Yep, and I have now watched the first play through with Pep. The game looks very enjoyable. I really need to get it played!
Everytime I get a new game, I hurry to your channel to see if you have a how to play on it. Thanks so much for the nice, clear instructions.
You're very welcome Melissa - hope you have a fun time playing!
Best tutorials out there! Truly amazing with calm and cheerful atmosphere! Thank You so much for sharing!
Very kind of you to say - so glad you're enjoying them :)
Your ability to make these games sound awesome is amazing! Cant wait for this game to arrive at my home and start playing!
Thanks Pablo :) I hope you have a fun time with it!
Hopefully you still answer these, cos it's been like 5 years now or something, but I have one small question
In building, can I build how ever many houses I have builders for, respectively, or does the amount of builders I have not matter, and it's just a straight 1 house built is 1 action?

Thanks so much :)

Looks like a fun game! Again, very clear and informative video. I may miss that part but how many houses/ outpost can a player build at most? And what does the quill symbol mean?
BTW your Acadia Quest videos made me back the Kickstarter for the latest AQ:I :P
+Mandy Law You didn't miss any rules about a maximum number of houses (because there is no maximum :) ).
You can only use a villager with a quill, to take the action to train new workers (ruclips.net/video/6wNaS1HxA-Q/видео.htmlm20s)
Hey - I backed AQ:I as well - hope you enjoy it :)
Thank you.
You bet! Have a fun time playing :)
Sorry for my english, just a question: when you gain an object from an exploring action where do you have to put it and when? I have seen that you have to spend an action to collect something from your buildings...no actions for collecting objects from your explorations? thank you very much for the answer
You can set it aside, and place it at anytime onto your player mat, when you are ready. The action you spend when gaining something for exploring, is simply the Explore action itself that you used to start the adventure.
Is there a point in stacking more than one of the same good on the advancement track? For example, in your video, you have two pears stacked on the second slot. Is that different than having just one stacked? Seems like it is riskier to put two pears in that slot vs having it available to sell or trade since you cant remove things from the track?
You score points for each good, so having multiple there means more points. You'll find this explained here; ruclips.net/video/6wNaS1HxA-Q/видео.html
Hope that helps.
Nice job on this one!
Thanks Ryan.
Fantastic!
Glad you enjoyed!
Could You make "how to play Haze Islands (pnp) solo & multi" video? Thank You in advance! :)
Hey Loki, with so many games out there, and so little time to cover them all, I have to limit what I cover, and Print and Play games are something that don't really appeal to me personally - though I know that means I'm probably missing some cool games (again, just so many games, so little time :) )
Can you explore multiple caves a turn? Like say I have four villagers can I send two to explore them two again onto a second cave card? And also did I hear correctly that after each action you pass to the next player? So say I explore a cave, does that mean the player to my left now makes an action and I have to wait til priority comes back to me to build/train etc.
Yes to all questions :)
Is the income at the end of a round per resource in that circle like victory points or is it a single amount?
+HITFORDCYCLE1 The value you collect is the amount shown here: ruclips.net/video/6wNaS1HxA-Q/видео.htmlm4s - I - Let me know if there's something specific in that example that is unclear and I'll help from there. In short, the amount you gain is a single value (but it may be boosted by the effects of buildings you have constructed).
I hope I'm not being too pestering, but I just picked the game up and we had a question in regards to Free Actions. I understand that I can perform as many free actions as I want prior to my normal action. But can I only perform my unlimited free actions once time during the round, or, for instance, can I keep refreshing the buildings over and over again, so long as I do it prior to my normal action for the turn. Hope that makes sense.
+Nathan Norton Right, refreshing is the only free action you can perform only once per turn, but you could do it on "each" of your turns.
When does the key card that provides income for amethysts and ore pay out? Is it at the end of each round or as they are aquired/harvested?
Apologies, I don't know which card you are referring to (my copy is lent out right now). Does it appear on screen at some point that you could tell me the time stamp of?
Sorry for the very delayed response. I didn't re-watch video but I know you talk about it a little bit on your other video at 24:39 - ruclips.net/video/SAsuZ63JCEE/видео.html
I'm hoping you can clarify how often, and when, players are paid for each ore/amethyt.
You'd get this bonus each time you collect income at the end of the turn, based on how many of the shown resource you have.
i ran a 4-player mock up and almost ran out of mushroom tokens. what IF you run out of tokens? sorry if this has already been covered im a little late to the game :)
i've watched your family and channel grow in the last month. i had no idea the adventure that was in store for me when I started your Mansions of Madness how to and watch it played.
The tokens are not limited, so you can use a suitable replacement, if you run out.
thank you! :)
So which one is better? Above n below or Near n far?
I tend to avoid giving personalized recommendations. What I like, someone else might not - but with both games on here, you can check them out and see which one suits your tastes best!
(,: you did it again ! ... great video
Thanks Luis, glad you enjoyed!
Can you make a tutorial about the board game "Shinobi Wat-aah!"?
+Elijah Buyao (Mr. E) No plans to currently. Not a game I own, but thanks for the suggestion.
Bravo!
Thank you!
Would you answer a question on a video from 8 years ago?
Only one way to find out!
And I’m playing this game right now
Great video. If I'm ever teaching this game to anyone I'll just link this :) Hope you might answer here even though its a 5 year old vid.
While I don't remember the exact wording in the rules my group have played that you can spend a maximum of 1 potion and 1 cider. Around 1230 you talk about using potions and/or ciders and from your wording I get the impression that you could spend any amount of potions or ciders. So if you have 2 injured villagers it would be possible to get them ready for 2 potions and 2 ciders? Have I been playing this wrong for so long?
I'm afraid you have been! It'll be like playing again for the first time!
@@WatchItPlayed Wow that was fast. Thx for the reply. Yeah injuring villagers will be more forgiving now. It was really worth watching this. Thx again.
@@justincredible4414 A pleasure to assist!
This is such a huge help. Now, how do I get 3 friends?
Ah, the classic gamer challenge! I hope you find a group to enjoy this with :)
I played a two player game last night, and liked it a lot. So, I guess I would say start with one friend and build from there.
Have you ever played risk or axis and allies
+Tiger Tank Gaming Yes, but Axis I only played once.
When you use a cider does it go away?
Yes.
I tried to play this with my family but ... I didnt understand the rules and just confused my family. Been gathering dust ever since.
Need to try iy again
Hopefully the video can help!
I wish you had a how to play Islebound
Haven't tried that one - perhaps in the future.
I just bought it and I am looking forward to playing it. It seems that there is a lot going on in the game and was hoping for your fantastic instructions lol
I missed where you get potions from.
Certain buildings, or adventures you may go on.
could you add the number of players (min/max) in the comment of your video's?
No plans to currently, but you will find us mention the player count in the first few sentences of every tutorial video.
You talk a lot about suitable replacements, Rodney, but we need some clarification, I think. I thought taking my husband's resources off his board so that I could have them on mine was a very suitable replacement, but, for some reason, Ben didn't agree. I mean, what could be a more suitable replacement than using the actual right tokens?! So what if they happened to belong to another player's stash, right? Yet, somehow, he didn't see it that way......
I think you're onto something!
@@WatchItPlayed I so agree! Now we just need to get my husband to agree. XD
I'm slightly annoyed that those obviously queen-sized beds only fit one villager
The book made no sense to me, and it made no sense to dad either, thank you!
Glad the video was helpful - I hope you have a fun time playing!
