Just got my copy today. I learn best watching a demo like this, then reading rules so thank you for the playthrough. Your excitement about the game is contagious. 😊
Ancient Realm was a nice surprise! I wasn't super excited for this one I got it in the bundle with River Wild. Oh but I'm so glad I got it! It's so fun and quick to play and the resource and card managment are so clever! It may become a favorite and rival Ragemore!
Loved your final thoughts on this Tia! I playtested it and loved it and was a bit suprised not because of the theme or mechanics but because I generally struggle to really enjoy a beat your own score game (versus a win/loss condition) but this one is sooooo good. Another absolute winner from the Button Shy gang 🎉
Thanks for the playthrough. Very helpful. Curious at 14:02 why you were able to gain back two stone when building the Zeus wonder. From the pyramids, shouldn't you have just gotten a single resource or did I miss something else?
Sporting the “Hush” look today! Yeah, I’d have to wear the equivalent of a XXL card sleeve over that so it wouldn’t look like a Jackson Pollock painting. You mention 4 cards being allocated to resource management. I think, although a novel concept, Button Shy really limits themselves by saying we are a micro game company that uses “18 cards” per game. Don’t get me wrong. There are some games that are perfection from Button Shy just the way they are. But then some would be better at a card count of say 25. Easier to play, clearer to understand. Not so much multi purposing of cards. One person’s opinion.

Yesss! Glad you're enjoying it too! Such a great new addition ^^
Just got my official version through the post woop woop! 🎉❤
@@jonathanantscherl Yesssss, congrats! Enjoy!!! ^^
Great playthrough. I am hoping to see a playthrough with the expansion sometime.
For sure! Most likely on stream sometime. 😄
Thanks for the playthrough. Looks like a very engaging resource management game
Engaging is def a great word for it! 😄
This game is excellent. I just want more!
Same!!! Have you tried the expansion???
@@tabletoptokki not yet! I just received the core game for review. It looks like it adds treacheries and negative events. Yourself?
@@SideGameLLC Just picked it up at ShyCon on Saturday; can't wait to try it! ^^
@@tabletoptokki enjoy!
looks like a really clever game, Tia! Nice playthrough, can't believe your score is just so-so according to the chart!
I know, right?!?! It's a tricky one! 😬
I am deciding between this, The Royal Limited and Super Slopes for my next PnP. I think youve just sold me on this!
Haven't tried the Royal Limited yet, but def prefer this one to Super Slopes personally! ^^ (both excellent tho!)
Thanks for sharing. Just got a copy. It's fun, but difficult to get a good score. Hopefully I'll get a better over time.
Definitely a challenging one; enjoy! 😊
Been debating about this one, but your video convinced me that I need this game 🤣
Ahhh it's SO GOOD! Hope you get yiyour copy soon! 😁
"oh no, we don't have any citizens!" 😂
That's my realm! 😂
Oh BOY!!!
:p

Glad to hear it was helpful! Mistake on my part. ^^
2:50 isn't it two coins per resource? Looks like you took two resources for two coins.

Definitely hear you there! More often than not it works out, but def glad for the option for unrestricted expansions. 😊
