These playthroughs with Matt are so great! Also love the way you zoom the camera in on the various parts of the game makes it very easy to follow along!
Great video, love how you both explained your though processes and the editing was spot on! I think you've sold me on grabbing this once it's out. My group will love a game that is super easy to teach and can be used as a filler with some teeth and thinking on a game night. I think in the end Matt was supposed to get one stone extra, and so were you, but it didn't make or break the game (once you had the 8 temple stars secured you pretty much locked down the game in your favor) Thank you again for releasing another full playthru, I know you discussed in the vlog the time spent editing them was not always worth the impressions you got on RUclips so to see you do this for us fans is an honor.
Glad you enjoyed this one :) So far the creation process for these is actually abit faster than my "just me" tutorials, so from a time perspective they are a winner as well.
Loved the strategy talk as you played. So glad I pre-ordered this at my FLGS! This seems like it might be a better opportunity for you to film without it being a solitary experience like you mentioned in a video a while ago. Keep up the good work and enjoy what you do!
So glad that you covered this game with a play-through. I've been making my list for Spiel and this was just one to check out. Based on the written description and a how to play video, it seemed a bit too light for me. Even after your teach I thought, "meh, let's see." Now I'm sure I'm going to get it because the decisions of tile placement are painful at times and those kinds of decisions are what really make me love a game. Thanks again!
Find it kinda amusing at 32:30 that Jon is so concerned with denying his opponent 12 points (since the park could go on the 2nd level), meanwhile he passes on 24 points for himself by not taking the purple and placing it on the third level (where he could have placed it already surrounded)
This looks really cool. So it’s hit well for you at all the player counts you’ve hit on so far? I might have to snag this for a quick, thinky tile placement. Also, these Playthrough with Friends have been great. They look and solid solid. Excited for more.
cool playthrough... I'm terrible at the spatial games and it would be too AP inducing to me, I think... Jon, you have to correct the klingon subtitle, it's on the screen since the moment it appears almost until the end of the video... and then it appears another subtitle that is on the wrong time stamp and that one stays on screen until the end
These occasional two player playthrough videos are great. Matt does really well at talking through his turns. Most of my plays are at two player so these are really helpful.
The pre-orders will be open for another month (until the release on August 24). Amazon has been having stock issues, so just keep checking the page. Or ask your FLGS to order it for you!
CORRECTIONS:
43:34 - Matt should have gained 1 stone for covering up that quarry.
Loving the playthroughs with you and Matt!! :)
You do great playthroughs Jon! Really like your interactions with Matt.
Matt and I have been friends for over a decade, it's super fun bringing him in for some of these videos :)
I really liked the time lapse at the end of the vid for this game!
:D That was Matt's idea and I may do this in all these Playthru with Friends videos now :)
Wow, I loved this playthough. Matt adds a great deal. Pre-orderd, thanks.
Awesome, so glad you enjoyed it :)
Nice job adding in Matt into your playthroughs. Nice evolution of your content. Hope others like it as much as I do.
Glad you enjoyed it!

Great playthrough! This game looks neat
Really enjoying these playthroughs with you and Matt.
Great to hear :)

I was in a similar boat. I thought it looked nice, but probably too light, until I played it and realized just how much there is to think about.
Wonderful playthrough! Glad you two had fun!
Interesting game. Enjoyed it, thanks!
Playthrough with comments. Perfect combination!
So glad you liked it :)
" I don't think you have the stones to do it" lol
Love the new camera angles. Makes me feel like I'm there!
That was the idea :) This game relies so heavily on seeing the stacks go up, we tried to really get in there with the cameras to show it.
@@JonGetsGames Bravo!

Oops!
Interesting! Seems a bit like a streamlined version of Warsaw: city of ruins.
This looks really cool. So it’s hit well for you at all the player counts you’ve hit on so far? I might have to snag this for a quick, thinky tile placement.

Yeah I'm a big fan so far, though it's worth noting that this was sent to me as a press copy. I'm glad you're enjoying these new playthru videos :)
@43:31 Shouldn't Matt get a stone?
Yep, good catch! I've added a note about this to the subtitles.
cool playthrough... I'm terrible at the spatial games and it would be too AP inducing to me, I think...
Jon, you have to correct the klingon subtitle, it's on the screen since the moment it appears almost until the end of the video... and then it appears another subtitle that is on the wrong time stamp and that one stays on screen until the end
Thanks for the heads up, looks like I forgot to click that pesky "publish" button after adding a correction. I think it should be fine now.
Is this game not released yet can't seem to find it
Yeah, I think it's on preorder and will be releasing soon. I got a pre-release press copy.
These occasional two player playthrough videos are great. Matt does really well at talking through his turns. Most of my plays are at two player so these are really helpful.
Yeah, Matt is really good at that. Glad you've enjoyed these!
So mad I missed the pre-order
I'm pretty sure Matt preordered it right after playing for the first time 2 weeks ago, so it may be available for preorder somewhere still.
The pre-orders will be open for another month (until the release on August 24). Amazon has been having stock issues, so just keep checking the page. Or ask your FLGS to order it for you!
