[@FalandosobreRPG]

Bom video obrigado

[@aditmaryadi6678]

Wow that fast👍

[@cappa8912]

i think you are missing one rule.... in a 1-3 player game during setup you reveal the first cuadrant card and instead of REMOVING the workers it shows onthe card you ADD workers to those cuadrants... :)

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Well, not really. :)
I found this setup for 1-3 players a little confusing, so I like to do a standard 4 player setup, and then removing the cubes in Step 1 of the Round 1. :)

[@boscoszeto9362]

I think you removed the wrong worker cubes at 5:50... you chose 1, 3 & 4, but removed 1, 2 & 4

[@sloikalamos]

The game looks nice but a bit too much luck and random for my taste. Great video as always!

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Too much luck? Why do you think so? I've played the game already and didn't feel like too much luck.
For me - similar to Agricola - starting cards are different and random but cards don't really decide the game.

[@sloikalamos]

@@nithrania-gameinanutshell I might understood this incorrectly and will be more than happy to be wrong, but 2 things stands out to me:
1. The 6 cards that you draw one every round feels pretty random. If you draw a good card, you set, but if you don't, and have to wait till the further rounds to have a good deck, then you're screwed.
2. Quadrant cards. The removed workers can be a make or break and it happens randomly via card draws.
Maybe it is as you mentioned, I don't know the extent of the card's power, and if it is not deciding at all, then it will be great.

[@pirecrompir]

@@sloikalamos I absolutely agree, also judging by the available playthroughs here on RUclips, there is a lot of randomness. You always draw the cards randomly from the top of the deck, there is no display of available cards and no "draw a number of cards and pick one". And how are the cards not important? There seem to be two viable strategies: go heavy on community building or go heavy on scoring cards. From what I've seen so far in the playthroughs, way to much randomness for my taste.

[@sloikalamos]

@@pirecrompir Indeed. It is a nice game and might work for other people, but the randomness is a bit too much for me.

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

I guess I'll have to play some more to evaluate this randomness. 😊

[@waferjuice]

This is confusing and complex as hell
