    I can't say it often enough, you were born to teach my friend. You always put things in super clear terms and the order in which you layout how to play makes every game you teach just plain obvious.

      Thank you kindly John - really nice of you to take the time to say. Really glad the videos have been helpful.

    I wish I had rules videos like this for all the games in my collection! I'm normally the "teacher" of my group and being able to watch rules videos like this gives me such a better understanding of how to play the game.

    I've been itching to play this one for awhile now. I was able to pick up a used copy in a BGG auction. Thanks for the instructional video. It cleared up a few questions I had from reading the rule book. You're videos are a tremendous help, Rodney. Keep up the great work!

    The presentation is amazing! You can really learn the game by this video alone and only visit the manual in extreme occasions. I love the work you are doing Rodney and you can really tell that this is fun for you too. I love your videos, they are far more entertaining than any of the "competition's". I'm looking forward for the gameplay action!

    Hello from Brazil!
    I've been playing board games like crazy since I've discovered the "new wave" brought by Catan. As expected, I've watched thousands of videos, and, man, you're by far the one which better explain the game rules. Congrats 4 your work.

    Just received my copy of Belfort yesterday and played it with my girlfriend last night. IT IS AWESOME!! I totally lost though lol... she kept killing me on the worker points. It is a pretty vicious game with two players and the wizards tower is fun and devious. Anyway thanx again Rodney I place a lot of value on what games you play. Keep it up!

    Cool, Rodney, once again a superb explanation of the core rules! Every time I'm amazed as to how clearly you can convert the written rules to a video explanation. Looking forward to the 7 phases! Hopefully there will be a lot of orcs not returning their books on time! :-D (loved that one)

    I"m someone who is just getting back into games and I've watched LOTS of videos on many channels and worker placement games have never interested me as they seem so difficult and the games pieces are usually quite boring looking.
    This game on the other hand seems more interesting as the board looks really good (and I like the odd 5 sided board instead of the typical rectangle) and the pieces look better than the typical different colored cubes used to represent everything. Watching this video it seemed a bit more fun to play. Thanks and I'm looking forward to watching the rest of the videos in this series.

    To tell you the truth, I'm not much a Euro/worker placement type of gamer, but it will be interesting to see how this is played out. Also, it's good to see that more publishers are partnering with you man.

The only thing im ungreatful about is that i now want most of the games youve played and because of that i will be ruined and have to get a bigger bookshelf to keep the games in and a bigger table to play them on. xD Looking forward for some gameplay of this!

    And, as a preview of my actions: Over the next week or so I'll be watching this one and your next 2 or 3, which look to be a few shorter ones than normal, coming up... A Bioshock game (Bioshock is actually my all time favorite video game), .... Dungeon Roll, Decent...and a bunch of vids labeled with "GTS" (which I assume is some sort of convention). It'll be a nice new goal, to get through these next :)

    • @WatchItPlayed

      Yeah, the GTS videos are kind of an odd one. I was invited by the company to come to their event and record some preview videos - so I was a bit at the mercy of the setting and the knowledge of the person who came to be on the video with me :)
