Hello everyone! Thank you so much for watching this play through! Please leave a like and a comment, to let us know what you think about the video and the game, it makes us super happy! If this format of watching us play a game for the first time is interesting, please let us know, and we might do more of them! Also, we are still very new to making these play throughs, but we are feeling that the upgrade in quality due to new cameras is very helpful, and making the videos better! Please let us know what you think about these new play throughs, as the plan is to do more and more play throughs, and less other videos, if people seem to like them! They are more work, but also way more fun to make! We appreciate every one of you!
Hehe, thank you! We do play quite a few games, but this was also pretty easy to get into! A lot easier than many other heavy games, that we use many rounds to understand the ins and outs! Glad you liked it 😁
This is my favourite of your videos so far. The way you have set it up makes it more immersive for us the viewer, we can see what’s going on very well. Your enjoyment is infectious, Papyrus!
Wow, thank you! That means a lot! We finally have a setup I am almost happy with! Would love a taller setup for overhead, and a bigger table, but most games will fit for 2 players in the normal frame! Thanks for taking time to comment, that means so much!
@@BoardGamingRamblings Just got Techenu myself, I now understand the space challenge you were managing, one heck of a board!! Even more impressed. Keep smiling :)
Thank you Josh! That is a very nice comment! Glad you enjoy us rambling on! The play through videos are fun to make, so we hope they will get some more traction, and get more people to the channel :D
Thank you for posting this video! It was so much fun to see you experience Tekhenu for the first time, discover some of the strategies it has to offer along with realizing mistakes in planning and execution. Great play-through!
I realized at the end of the video that you had not taken any starting Decrees. :) During setup, each player is dealt 2 Decrees, picks one of them, discarding the other. That gives you a little bit more to aim for as well.
That is correct! Glad we didn’t do many mistakes! I saw this, then thought the rules to Sunniva before doing setup, and forgot! Will make sure to remember the next time, as that is a great way to have something to shoot for at the start of the day!
Watching you play this almost straight out of the box was fun, with first impressions during the game. Kudos for fitting it all on such small table... and I just noticed, that the setup you are using improved soo much from the first "lockdown" playthroughs... keep it up. Also, for anybody watching this later, do try a drinking game - you drink everytime when Sunniva says "papyrus".
Glad to hear you liked it! Yeah, we have finally gotten a good overhead view, and two new cameras, so the quality should be way better, hehe! Thank you for watching :D
Can't wait for the review and I want to know what do you think about this game vs Teotihuacan. Excellent video, the game seems fun and it's quick, adding it to the wishlit
Going to be saying "Papyrus!!!" for days, weeks, nay months! Population! Pips! I thought this was the "T" series of games 🤣 Happy Gaming great video! PAPYRUS!!!
Very nice video! Great to hear your thoughts while you're playing. I think that around 39', when Sunniva takes the pillar action, you forget 2 points above the 3/4 pillar.
That was a pretty good first game. From the other plays I've seen from this game I had a feeling most of the points were made during intermediate scoring and end game scoring cards - and it felt a bit disconected from all the crunchy decision making process during the rounds. But this time I kinda saw the results of the actions taken during the turns adding up to the score. I saw many avenues strategy-wise that could be taken as well, I really want to try it out. We acquired it recently and it's on its way home, looking forward to it.
We have only played it once so far, so hard to say, but will flesh this out more in the review later! The first impressions was that it was very, very good, and I cannot wait to play it again!
thanks for the playthrough. seeing that you said this is best game of the year for you so far - would you say you like this more than arkwright the card game? also how does the 2p experience compare between the 2 games? thx!
Hey! Thank you :D Arkwright TCG is a 2021 release, so it will not be in the contest for best game of the year! With that said, as a 2 player experience, I would play Tekhenu all the time. The interaction is so important in Arkwright, so that sees so much improvement when you add more players!
Still watching the video, but I believe this one should be re-titled to "Tekhenu: The One where Sunniva defies The English Academy of Language"...paw-pie-roos-paw-paw-yeah :)
@@BoardGamingRamblings good job johannes/sunniva on this first type of video. You guys did amazing! if anything, I think the rules segment is not necessary (although I may be a minority on this). Unless you would "take the time" to go in a deeper way to explain those, I think it makes more sense to just jump straight to the goal of the game, and what players will try to do throughout, and as you play and take turns, briefly explain things. Regardless, it was great! looking forward to get my copy.
Nain1982 Thank you! So glad you liked it :D I feel like that is what I am trying to do, just explain briefly what you’ll do in the game, and then get to it! There are enough other people that do actual tutorials, so this is a much better way for us to do it. We want you to be able to follow along, but I don’t want you to use our videos as a rules video. For smaller games, like Glasgow, I could do most rules in 5 mins, then I don’t mind!
@@BoardGamingRamblings I agree. I was just adding that you probably don't even need to put that segment. Rules and playthroughs should be definitely separate things. It's impressive how people can watch 2-3 hours of those videos! To be clear, I liked your video.
Hi Johannes and Sunniva, I am very, very interested to know what are your comments and oppinion about the game Lords of Hellas, even you guys have had not made a review in vídeo please leave your comments here, they are very important to me
Hi Cesar! We have not played Lords of Hellas, so I cannot say much about it, sadly! Have been thinking of picking it up a couple of times, but haven’t done so yet! Sorry for not being able to help!

Played this 4 times solo the last few days. I can't wait to be able to play this with others, really, really enjoying it.
You two are great. You're both masterful at these tough games. Not something that many can drop on a table and push through so completely.
Hehe, thank you! We do play quite a few games, but this was also pretty easy to get into! A lot easier than many other heavy games, that we use many rounds to understand the ins and outs! Glad you liked it 😁

I’m not even watching, I’m just listening while I work and I’m enjoying the heck out of this so just keep doing what you’re doing!
Thank you Josh! That is a very nice comment! Glad you enjoy us rambling on! The play through videos are fun to make, so we hope they will get some more traction, and get more people to the channel :D
Canon of fun!!! LOL.....nice! Waiting for my copy to arrive, great playthrough and review.
Thank you :D It was really a canon of fun, and we had a blast! Hope you’ll get to play soon 🤩
Thank you for posting this video! It was so much fun to see you experience Tekhenu for the first time, discover some of the strategies it has to offer along with realizing mistakes in planning and execution. Great play-through!
Thank you so much Rainer! Solid, solid game! Cannot wait to play more, as I had a blast playing the first time! Very happy you liked it :D

Hahaha great idea 😂

+1 to the first impressions videos! The game seems right up my alley. And obviously it's pronounced "papyrus".
Glad you liked it! Yeah, papyrus it is! Hopefully we’ll be able to do more of these!
If you'd have played with the obelisk wheel the other way up, you might have found a couple things a bit easier.
Can't wait for the review and I want to know what do you think about this game vs Teotihuacan. Excellent video, the game seems fun and it's quick, adding it to the wishlit
Yeah, T ranking should be part of the video 😂 The game was a blast, cannot wait to play again! Glad you liked it 🤩
Going to be saying "Papyrus!!!" for days, weeks, nay months! Population! Pips! I thought this was the "T" series of games 🤣 Happy Gaming great video! PAPYRUS!!!
Glad you liked this video of the game Papyrus! 🥳
Papyrus all the way!!
Very nice video! Great to hear your thoughts while you're playing.
I think that around 39', when Sunniva takes the pillar action, you forget 2 points above the 3/4 pillar.
Oh, and around 51', the 6 die Johannes took for his anubis action should have gone below the scales (not counting towards the balance)
Haha, typical! Here I am, trying to cheat, but it doesn’t work. I still lose! 😂 Thanks for noticing! 😁 And thank you for watching! Hope you liked it 🥳

Hey! Thank you :D Glad the playthrough was helpful for you! I hope you'll love the game a lot :D
Did you like more than the previous T game?
We have only played it once so far, so hard to say, but will flesh this out more in the review later! The first impressions was that it was very, very good, and I cannot wait to play it again!

You guys are great - I want to play with you! Great game solo though!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it 🤩
I believe the other side of the obelisk-disc has a help, which dice are pure, tainted or forbidden ... 🤔
And now I need to start flipping over all components for all games I will ever play 🤪 Thank you!
Still watching the video, but I believe this one should be re-titled to "Tekhenu: The One where Sunniva defies The English Academy of Language"...paw-pie-roos-paw-paw-yeah :)
Hahahahaha 🤣

Papyrus for life! I had to check google for pronounciation after the play 😛
Woohoo first to comment!
I like this playthrough/first impressions hybrid format
Thanks Jenwei! Happy you liked it 🥳
