The simple structure of this video that shows card anatomy before play is genius. Your natural performance and effortless delivery certainly mask your enormous production effort. Thanks for the instruction that brought happiness and knowledge to my gaming group before our first play.
Thank you so much for your kind words and appreciating the work that goes into it. I hope the game went well :) I played yesterday with the expansion and I enjoyed it very much!
I love how you showed all the cards and pointed to the different effects / parts of the cards. It created a lot of examples of what they might look like in game and really helped me a lot. Love your work!!!
Hi, I played for the first time last night and this video really helped to put everything from my experience together. There are so many things I appreciate about your presentation. I think every word was chosen carefully; I think this is one of the most efficient videos I've ever seen. I'm having a hard time thinking of a video that was more concise and yet you also spoke at a good pace. I'm so tired of presentations where the person obviously can't speak clearly at the speed they choose to use. Your diction is excellent. I appreciate how much time you took edit this. Slight changes (like your hair), showed that you obviously wanted to redo parts ... Thank you so much for making the effort. It's also great that you didn't have a ridiculously long intro. I hate unnecessary "branding". The quality of your videos means that no one is going to forget you. I love your game collection in the background. I totally want to rub Peter's face!!
Thank you so much for your very kind comment. You have said exactly what I try to do, which is to be as concise as possible. And yes, I re shoot and sometimes it's noticeable with the hair :) Thank you again and enjoy Ark Nova. Check out the expansion, I've enjoyed playing it.
Thank you so much. You're absolutely right, I made the mistake and thought I had corrected it but I've left a shot with it. Thank you for spotting it, I will try to edit it and fix it.
I really like your teaching style and always appreciate your thoroughness and clear descriptions. One small error in the teach however. An upgraded building card allows you to build one or more buildings however, those buildings must be DIFFERENT from each other as it says on the card. So building two kiosks in one turn is illegal. One kiosk and one pavillion would be ok however. I always look forward to your teaches!
Hi Paul, thank you so much for flagging this! I really appreciate it. I've done an edit, which will delete the mistake but will pin a comment to explain the upgraded build action, as it won't have an example. I am so grateful you spotted this, thanks again :)
Game Clarifications: Upgraded Build Action: you may build 1 or more different buildings as long as you have the strength. If your Build Action card is on 5, you may build for example a size 3 enclosure, a kiosk and a pavilion. You may not build the same building twice. - Thank you Paul. Upgraded Association Card: Perform one or more different association tasks. You may make one donation. During a round, if you want to perform the same task again, you will need to place 2 workers. Remember you cannot play the same task twice within the same turn, they have to be different tasks.
On your shelves I can plainly see Ark Nova, Star Wars Rebellion, King of Tokyo, Munchkin, Orleans, Sushi Go (among others). I was beginning to think I was the only person who had that combination of games in their collection.
what do you use to tranquilize your cat? every time i set up the game on my table, i'm retrieving bits from under the couch cuz my furry roommates want to join in.
You will have the animal cards you have played in your play area; for example if you if you have played a bird that is in an enclosure of 5 with the Aviary sign as well, you can transfer it. You need to look at the animals you have played. I hope it makes sense what I'm saying :)
@@GamesMadeEasy kind of 🤣 I may have placed a level 3 animal in a 4 area and just don't remember which ones I did. I will have a read of the rules and figure it out

Great tutorial. I love the way you approach the teach in a playing style making it clear to understand. Good Job!
Thank you so much, it's very kind.
Great video. One small note, you can't take the same association action in the same turn, they have to be different actions

What a fun video! Excellent editing and great job teaching the game. I'm impressed that you got the huge deck sleeved.
Thank you so much! Yes, all sleeved, and 3d printed trays for the cards as well :)
Nice explanation, will you cover rules of “Life of Amazonia” boardgame ?

Thank you so much for the tutorial! It was wonderful!
I’m so glad you liked it. Enjoy Ark Nova, such a lovely game.
Brilliant! thank you for the help. I am looking forward to playing Ark Nova!
Aw you are welcome. It’s an awesome game, I hope you enjoy it!
Very well done! Best how to play video I’ve seen on here.
Thank you so much, I’m glad it was useful. Enjoy Ark Nova, it’s a great game.

They're great games :) Just played Orleans yesterday, I hadn't played it in a while, and it was so nice, I love the game.
Fantastic video! Best Ark Nova tutorial I've seen. Instant subscription. :)
Thank you so much m! I love the game. I hope you enjoy it :)
Great tutorial! One thing I noticed was at 22:28 you have an impossible Kiosk placement as it’s only one space in between.
You’re absolutely right, not sure what happened… probably Peter. Thank you for flagging it, I will mention it in the pinned comment.
what do you use to tranquilize your cat? every time i set up the game on my table, i'm retrieving bits from under the couch cuz my furry roommates want to join in.
Haha :) nothing. He loves boxes. He's usually the first one in the box before I even start recording :)
Lovely blouse and loved the walk through!
Thank you so much :)
Great video. Please do a tutorial on cluedo!
I played Cluedo a lot, but haven't played it in a while now. Thanks for the suggestion.
I'm curious about this game but it seems very complicated.
There’s a lot of pieces to set up the game, it’s not necessarily complicated to play. I love it, and I’ve been enjoying the expansion recently.
Could you share what card sleeves you used to sleeve this game?
Hi! We use Gamegenic or Mayday. I will check which one of the two I used for Ark Nova.
How do I know which enclosure I'm transferring from? Just from memory?
You will have the animal cards you have played in your play area; for example if you if you have played a bird that is in an enclosure of 5 with the Aviary sign as well, you can transfer it. You need to look at the animals you have played. I hope it makes sense what I'm saying :)
@@GamesMadeEasy kind of 🤣 I may have placed a level 3 animal in a 4 area and just don't remember which ones I did. I will have a read of the rules and figure it out
Thank you, are you going to do Earth?
You’re very welcome. I have not played Earth yet but heard a lot about it.
Buen video 😊
Muchas gracias!
Cute cat 🥰
Thank you!! ☺️
