Wow. You did this quick! My copy hasn't even arrived yet and you've already done a how-to-play video!
I thought you are in your honeymoon Paul? lol
Thank you so much! I have repeatedly looked through the rules, but this kind of teach is so much more effective for me. I love how clear, concise and organized your teaches are. Might have to get this one to the table tonight.😊
Thanks so much! I (Stella) also more of a visual person, so agree. And thank you for the kind words! Hope you enjoy it too
That was really well done, particularly for new players but also for those of us coming from previous Great Western Trail games.
🙏 Thank you so much! Yes we are big fans of the previous 2 games!
Hooooly cow that's a lot of game. Going to try and play this with my wife this weekend. This was massively helpful. Thank you.
Самый удобный формат подачи информации!
Спасибо за качественный монтаж!
Thanks so much
I'm currently wading through the rules. Haven't played any version of GWT before so this video is extremely helpful, thanks very much! I did notice one rule though regarding placement of discs during the Wellington steps. You mentioned that the disc you take from your player mat must match the white or black spot that you are placing on the board, but in the rules on pg 9 (half way down the second column) it states "1. A disc from a disc space with white corners can be placed onto any trading post space. 2. A disc from a disc space with dark corners, however, can only be placed onto a trading post space that also has dark corners."
yes, I noticed it as well, it is the same in all the other GWTs
Yes confirmed:
White bordered discs may also be palced on black bordered spaces (on trading posts and harbours)
Thank you for checking
@@MeepleUniversity You actually can place black ones on white spaces, but only if you don't have any more white spaces discs on your player board.
Thanks for the great video. My copy just arrived. Being my first venture into the GWT trilogy it looked really overwhelming but you've clarified it really well. Can't wait to play it now!
Hope you enjoy it! Thanks for your kind words. This is the most compex one, have fun!
That was one of the best game overview sections that I've seen in an HTP video! Great job!
🙏🙏 Thank you so much for your kind words, AND taking the time to let us know this🙏🙏
What a great video! Thank you for making such great content
Thanks so much 🙏🙏
Exceptionally well taught high quality video. Thanks for helping me learn the game!
🙏🙏 Our pleasure, glad that you enjoy it
Brillant Teach! Thank you very much for the video!
Thank you for your kind words 🙏
Thank you for the video, excited to play this one now that you have the video
Thank you so much!
Excellent job! Thank you.
Thank you so much🙏
Oooo Nice! I needed this! Thank you! XD
Haha thank you so much
Thank you! I have played original GWT and with your video I just started playing the new one. No rulebook needed! :)
🙏 Thanks so much for sharing that with us, that's so great! Glad you can get into the game rightaway!
I love your clear explanations. Thank you. I just got this game and now feel equipped to play.
Thank you so much🙏🙏 You got this, go go go and play :)
Great explaining! Thank you!!!
Our pleasure, thanks so much
thank you, so glad to have this before we play tomorrow :)
🙏🙏 Yaay Im excited for you, hope you enjoy it!
Amazing video, very clear explanation of the game. Didnt fully understand the boats my first playthrough, but fully understand it now.
🙏🙏 THank you so much!
You guys got in quick! Good tutorial!
We lucky that Australia got it early. This doesn't often happen haha. Thanks so much
I found it very helpful for the small things I missed. This rule book is much better than the base game but there's so much more to this game it's a lot to absorb.
🙏 Glad it helps. Yes this one is a bit more complex. Thank you so much🙏
Another great video!
Thank you so much 🙏🙏
Thank you , I've spent days reading the rules and attempting a playthrough but this still cleared up a lot of points for me and, more importantly, given me an insight on how I might teach my two friends at the game sesh tomorrow! 😀
Woot, have fun! Thank you!
My copy arrives tomorrow. Your video was excellent and I have a much better understanding of how to play.
Glad to hear it! Have fun and thank you for your kind words
What an excellent tutorial!!
Thank you so much
Thanks! Now I just need to get the game ;) And nice to see they feature Wellington, my home city!
Woooow nice! Jelaous hahahah... Come on GWT Australia! lol
Great video!! Thanks
Thank you so much🙏
Thank you! I just bought this the other day. Videos like this are so helpful to send to my group early so we don't need a "teach" before we play. I'm interested to see how the new elements of this one plays out.
Glad it was helpful and saves you time woohoo! Thanks for sharing, this kinda thing makes us eager to do more how to plays ;P
Agree with the others, looks more complex than the others, and also agree, awesome video guys, thank you
🙏🙏 Thank you so much for the kind words🙏🙏🙏
Just grabbed my copy today from Milsims here in Melbourne
Hello Melbourne :) That's awesome Melbourne has the game already woohooo
thanks so much!
🙏🙏
Perfection!
🙏 thank you so much
Very nice how to play video! Subbed & liked :)
Thanks for the sub and your kind words 🙏🙏
Thanks for your video. My game has just arrived today. Seems to be a very interesting take on GWT!
Hope you enjoy it! Thank you for the visit, we're excited for you woohoo
Just had my first game today. I like it a lot with the new twists in the gameplay. I am a big fan of the whole series.
Yes, while still has the feeling of the original game!
@@rumtastic5378 Us too! Big fan!
Not a big thing, but just curious: Are any hazards tiles part of the mix of B tiles, or is it 100% bonus tiles? If only bonus tiles, at Welington it means you will always add one bonus tile that pushes the game clock forward, unlike in the base game where you could tweak that to a small extent by choosing to put out a hazard/teepee tile that shows up instead of a worker (which I think was an interesting nuance even though far from essential).
Yes, all are bonus tiles for this version. Small tweak that has different effect right!
32:46: Not sure about those two objective cards. Doesn't each mean "reach step X on the expedition track"? In this case they would not accumulate to "reach step 10" I think.
I see the publisher sent you the yet to be published Tips expansion. I am interested in learning how to play it with the game.
Wait, Tips as in strategy help. Nevermind!
Lol
@@MeepleUniversity 🥷
What a beast to set up. Not sure I will feel motivated to play this one too often given the laborious setup. It will need to be a pretty decent play.
Lots of components, hopefully it's worth it. We love the game
NZ version looks like more complex than the other two, tho looks really good
Indeed yes! Still deciding which one we like the best hah
15:02 What about this double auxiliary action? Can you just pay four dollars to move your certificate twice?
Yep, that’s correct
Very well explained (although my opinion my be biased as I've played other GWT before). I'd consider using a pointer of some sort instead of finger, should take less space in the frame.
Thanks so much! True that... hmmm.. tho feels even less personal? Will think about it
@@MeepleUniversity Never heard of anyone building their personal presence using just a finger. :D But I'm no RUclips content creator. Do as you wish and keep creating good videos like this one.
@@marekbugiel6893 Hahaha I meant, to show we're human, not robot with stick fingers? Hahaha. Thanks so much!!!!
Am I able to play this game if I never play the other two series?
Yes! They are all standalone game
Do you like it more than Argentina?
Hmm still need to collect our thoughts lol. We'll probably do review / comparison video for this one too.
I’m missing something. For the auxiliary action, why would you ever pay $2 for 1 certificate? Isn’t that always you taking a loss
Permanent certificat that we were talking about perhaps? So not one use only
@@MeepleUniversity I thought the 1x auxiliary was “pay 1 pound move the certificate marker up one space” or 2x “pay $4 to move certificate 2 spaces” it looks like it would only really be good to gain the gold.
@@evannadeau3938 Could you please give us the timestamp, and I'll look closer 😊
@@MeepleUniversity 15:02
@@evannadeau3938 If you've unlocked the auxilary action, then it's $2 for 1 temporary certificate (or $4 for 2). But then, those temporary certificate might just be the extra certificate you need to reach certain posts and put your disc in a better spot.
say it fast, 3 times in a row: shearers shearing sheep
Hahahaha, you can do it Hanna! :D
shouldve name it great eastern sail this time 😅
Lol. Im still waiting for GWT Australia
😅😅😅@@MeepleUniversity
It was a good "How to Play" video, but there were zero tips.
Hi Ben, thank you, the tips and suggestions are throughout rather than separate section
I like this version but boy this is a huge table hog. Will stick with Argentina.
That's fair, needs bigger table space
Does this game actually take more table space than Argentina?😮
@@troylow6229 Yes it does ..
Wish the buildings looked anything but American. Colonized by England, so that style would have been rare if non existent. Also, I wonder if there's anything so do with the Maori people, or whether it's just another white washed version of our history?
