at 16:10 Jen takes a Craftsman and a Techonology (automation) tile and she uses it right away placing it on the expasion she got. This is wrong, because you can only place the Technology tile after you pass (page 16 in the rulebook) aka you can only really use it on the next round. So jen couldn't activate her expansion right away. anyway it was just 3 points so it might have not done that much difference.
At around 18:00, both players would have actually earned one coin from the Income event since your development level is considered to be 1 at the start of the game.
FYI an 100% English language version of this game is currently seeking funding on Kickstarter through Tasty Minstrel Games but only in the US Canada and Australia and once the KS ends you won't be able to get it in Australia (has to do with the licencing)
Mmmh, ja, talk German to me! Okay, you're actually right, it makes no sense they did not add English to the board and player aids or use the flip side for a translation. But... then I would have missed out on your German. It's so adorable! :-)
I haven't played this yet but want to, I really think this is going to become a modern classic. Maybe even a gateway game, there is tons to do it seems, but you're really using simple mechanics. Can't wait until my local board game store picks this one up.
Another great rt Richard thanks for this. We love this game so much fun, and it seems to be one that i can win :) also love the art style. Bob the knight was a mean fellow.
at 14:33 either you or Jane was not allowed to take all the working Tokens out of the bag. In the first rounds, you only can use 4 of them not all of them. After playing an action on a Knight, you could increase the number of your workers.
You are wrong... Richard played correctly... In phase 3 you are allowed to DRAW (not use, like you said) from the bag up to as many tokens as the number on the Knights track you have reached with your token... so, at this time both players may draw during this phase 4 tokens... that's it... Page 14 of the rules... Then in phase 4 you may USE as many of the tokens in your market as you want... the ones you don't want to use stay in the market to be used in future rounds! Looks like you have been playing this game incorrectly!
Played the game after your review. Very solid game. Mixed 5 player expansion with the rest and I have the feeling I have more character tokens that i should have. I got two sets of the character tokens :) good review, sums up the game very well.
Hynek Jandus prob 5 or 6 minutes to do the full thing, though tbh i don't bother stacking up all the chits on all the prescribed spaces on the board... i just leave them in a pile off to the side. then setup only takes a couple of minutes :)

very interesting game. combining the elements of deckbuilding like dominion and classic worker placement like agricola/caverna. i like it!
Love it when you're reading german text :-)
Lines42 ausgezeichnet! :)
One of my favourite games. 🎉

noted... thanks
I had an interest in this game, but watching your playthrough really sold me on it. This was entertaining and informative. Great video :)

That 2009 mug is beautiful. I really like the color scheme.
This is a plague cup!
You need a Rooster Cup to complement Jen's Chicken Cup.
***** jen doesn't care for roosters... too loud :)
Don't drink out of that cup! It's a PLAGUE CUP!!
Thank you for doing this and all of the other run-throughs. I really want to get this one!

+GreyKnight Caine you should send them to the town hall
there is an overview of how many tokens are going to be used in a 4 and 5 player game on BGG. I got some spare ones :)
I don't think you should get points for "introducing sewage into the town" (@ 0:39) - seems like it should go the other way! :-)
You're just jealous that you didn't think to bring sewage into town first!
This looks so fun!!! Argh, goodbye money!
Is there a chit discard pile? Or after any action you simply put those chits back into your bag?
Thank you for a great runthrough!
Brendon Soltis once used they go back in the bag :)
Look on the bright side. No English on the pieces but you get to practice your German!! :o)
Looks pretty cool. I think I'll add it to my collection. Two complaints: they didn't add English and the cover art is horrendous!
Matthew White i really like the cover art... feels like a cartooney version of medieval art style. :)
+Matthew White I can't agree about the art, it's easy on the eyes while also feeling authentic.
It looks like you have to develop your knights early on and the development track during the game. Are the other places as important?
you can win without expanding knights at all...
Cool! That development track seems all important though!
So I guess this was your cup of game
Is Jen a real person?
faq.rahdo.com #1 :)
Where did you get the chicken cup
faq.rahdo.com #18
what happen when you have more tokens then your market space?
gotta start tossing them...
:)
How long is setup xD?..
Hynek Jandus prob 5 or 6 minutes to do the full thing, though tbh i don't bother stacking up all the chits on all the prescribed spaces on the board... i just leave them in a pile off to the side. then setup only takes a couple of minutes :)
I love your german :)
GreenInHunter sehr gut! :)
The artwork is a huge turn off
+Jim Ferguson Wow, I couldn't love it more.
