I liked Stellar quite a bit. Found it in the library and will probably get it out again at some point. It was a bit too samey from game to game even though I tried different strategies. This also seems lighter than my typical go-to filler games, but I love the art work and the way the scoring works at the end. I hope that my library picks up a copy of this as well. Great video! It was very clear to follow with the animations
Really tempted. Stellar was just the right weight, and I'm a little concerned it's a tad too light and similar. But I did love Stellar, so I'll probably end up asking for it for my Birthday. Thanks for the overview!
Excellent tutorial! There's a lot of nuance here for folks who aren't well versed in the sort of thinky card game that spills out of the brains of Riddle and Pinchback, and you did a wonderful job talking through how they impact your strategy.
I happened upon Zee Garcia's video and thought... "this looks... familiar"... sure enough, it's the same folks as Stellar! "So there MUST be an AYCB video for it," I thought. We picked up Stellar about a month ago based on your video for 2 players, and... other than I rarely win, my partner and I quite enjoy it. So thanks. I think. ;-) This definitely looks like the successor.... and wow, I didn't pick up in Zee's video, but having to choose the order of the biomes, that's gonna make it tough. Thanks!
Thanks Dylann, for your very clear explanation and I love your channel. Subastral really speaks to me - seems to have been invented with me in mind:). I stumbled across these designers just recently - will be buying Subastral this Christmas and hope I enjoy it as much as I expect. Aesthetics look wonderful too! I haven't played Stellar either and am toying with buying both - my gut says Subastral is better - is it worth owning both?
So, for me, this is what happened: I read the title and then I thought “Astral? As in astral space? But then how is it ‘sub’ the astral plane? The ethereal plane? Material?” And I was VERY curious. Then: biomes, skies, trees. I’m a little confused, still waiting for something astral to show up, then I realized my mistake and was sorely disappointed 🤣 I will NEVER play this game 😂
Are you picking up a copy of Subastral? Did you play the previous title, Stellar?

Thanks a lot, I hope you're able to get your hands on a copy of this to try it out!
You're very welcome, it definitely has some inspirations from Stellar but also still feels like it's own experience!

Thanks so much, Dustin! Really glad you enjoyed the video, we've really enjoyed Subastral so far and are excited to try at higher player counts soon!
Perfect guide! Watched this before taking it to my weekly game group and got playing right away. Thanks!
Glad to hear it! Really happy it helped you out.
Your videos are great! Best "how to play" channel
Thanks so much! :)

Thanks Rodney, glad you liked the video and that you are enjoying Stellar so far! It's still one of our favourite 2 player games.
Yes! Pre ordered can't wait
Arrived today! Hopefully getting it to the table today.

I actually prefer Stellar! But I think both are great games and different enough that you could own both and play both still.
Great video!
Thanks a lot, Brian!
