4:50 It's not that track... it's the Knights Track and it's shorter

[@lieveteugels3506]

at 4:45, I believe that means you should reach the last knight space of the track where you recruit knights, NOT all the knights on the wall, that would be insane IMO. The graphic seems to match that interpretation.

[@jasonbagley3712]

4:45 - the general wants to complete the knight track (on the main board) not fill up the entire knight section of the Invasion board. In a two player game, what you said would be impossible because there should only be 8 knights available (Unless there are other changes to the game you did not mention).
Also, what happened to the citizens on the knowledge track during Invasion? Are they moved to different locations or are they supposed to be there?

[@juancrespo-barreto5237]

I believe you didn't mention that for the solo scenarios, if you can't fulfill an event at the end of the turn you automatically lose.

[@juancrespo-barreto5237]

Speaking of alternate uses for the good tiles other than victory points, some of the structures in the Prosperity module demand for goods in addition to workers in order to complete them.

In French consonants at the end of words are not prononced and the vowels are very short. I hope you will do a runthrough of this version asap.

[@DiarrheaIsFun]

That's false, SOME consonants at the end of words are not pronounced. Others are. For example: your name (Venot) has a silent T at the end, Blois has a silent S at the end. The C at the end of the word avec is pronounced, the F at the end of the word chef is pronounced.

I want a video of Richard pronouncing French words! 24:28 made me laugh out loud 😂😂

What a ridiculous table hog

[@FinnCanDo85]

Thanks for this, I only recently got the base game and I totally love it already, so great to see an expansion. Oh by the way : Are we going to see a 7 Wonders Duel runthrough soon? I have a sneaky feeling of your final thoughts and want to see them already ;)

[@jackwilderman-nielsen2862]

I feel like in the trade and intrigue expansion the market stand would be a very powerful building

[@ichifish]

Just to clarify (five years later...), Invasion does NOT include a five-player expansion (tokens, bag and player board). The invasion/prosperity scenarios support five players, but you have to buy the separate five-player expansion. Was quite disappointed to discover this, as I bought the expansion primarily to have an optional fifth player for the base game.

timestamp please

[@anactualcloud]

rahdo have you beaten this yet?

[@rahdo]

nope, but i rarely get to go back and play games once i've done the runthrough
