I tried to learn this game from the rulebook, which was a mistake. The rules were badly written and made learning the game too difficult. This video made the game far easier to understand. Thanks.
I like to learn from rulebooks, therefore I don't usually watch tutorial videos. The rulebook for Sand is so atrocious, however, I don't see how anyone could learn a game from it. This video is the best board game tutorial I have ever seen. Thank you very much.
I went through set up just this morning,,, I think it was a good choice for this game to have it already set up and then describe what was done. Might be a good approach for selected other games in the future. I don’t see this done that often and your description was clear and concise, as usual.
We have some of our how to play videos like this :) For example the Great Western Trail, and usually some of the complex one, and just explaint the context of why things need to be set up in a certain way. Thank you so much for your kind words and noticing 🙏
I red the rulebook (in spanish) and, yes, it was quite difficult but I always prefer to read it instead of learn the rules from a video. However, a friend told me your video for this game was really good, and here I am, this is my first time in ur channel... I must say, what a video! This video should take as a tutorial video on how to teach a board game in youtube. Excellent! It also help me with the Abandoning goods action, wich i though was only to trash the cube xd
Welcome to the "university"! Thank you so much, we are so so humbled, this means a lot to us. Hope you continue to enjoy the game, and hope you can find other video useful as well 🙏🙏🙏
Ty for the game explanation specially for the last round, but in this last round, does the turn order stay the same? Do the dice get rerolled, and by who? Would appreciate an explanation of this part if you could ty.
Up until the last round, turn order is determined by the card you take. In the very last round, where there are no cards to take, the turn order does not matter anymore, as it grants no points, and it's pointless to roll the die, because the game ended.
It's a fun game! Complexity is probably medium, more complext than Wingspan and more than Wyrmspan. Probably just under Terraforming Mars. But this surely varies between folks
I have a question regarding the last round. You said in the video that there is no upkeep face. Does that mean that during the last round you don't have to put new plant cubes in the cities?
I just bought the game and a Devir worker explained it to us on the store while we played a demo, he was amazing but this video is also cool for refreshing. Thanks
I was introduced to this game at a convention by devir itself and it was not even close to that , worst experience ever ! I am glad you guys exists , this should be the official tutorial video !

Thank you guys for such a clean guide through the rules of Sand, and thanks a lot for your time and amazing work. All the best for you from Argentina.
🙏 Our pleasure, thank you so much. Woohoo Argentina!
Looks very interesting!!! What would you say is the weight of this game and any other games to compare please?

Love the artwork, been enjoying Devir games for awhile now, glad you have this tutorial, so clear and so good. Thank you Stella and Tarrant.
Yes, they've been doing some great games. Thank you Kaira🙏
I am very much looking forward to this game's release.
Wooot!
perfect expenation and presentation of the game! Well done!
Thank you so much
Very nice explanation, I am still deciding on this one …
Thank you for your kind words
This looks really cool, thanks for covering it!
Woot! Our pleasure!
I love the theme and the idea, but it feels way too complicated for what it wants to do, and is way WAY too color dependent
Preordered!
Hope you'll like it!
