Jon, thanks so much for this. Late to the party but my copy arrives in next few days so watching this was great preparation. You are the best game tutor and love the approach you take. It is funny that some think this game is complicated. They should (or really probably shouldn't) look at Europa Universalis board game. From your tutorial I am now very confident to play the game, thank you.
Hey Jon, amazing playthrough as always! You've definitely sparked my interest in this game! One small note: at 1:03:38 it looks like you accidentally counted the yellow player's remote income as $1 instead of $0
Much of the electricity in Uruguay and nearby countries is generated by hydroelectric power. As far as green power options, hydro is a lot more useful than wind power in that it can be stored for times of peak demand - water can be dammed up for use later, wind cannot. Wind generation is a nice thought, but it's not as much of a panacea as many people think it is... I look forward to learning about the game though!
Hey Jon, great video kind sir!! love these, you are the best tutorial channel out there imo. i do have a request/question. would you ever consider doing tutorials on solo modes for the more complicated AI's? i think it would be very helpful to a lot of people and a great addition of content for the channel. i do understand its not your favorite mode of gaming just thought id throw it out there. have a great day of gaming!
At this point I haven't really considered doing solo mod playthrus. Honestly, I personally don't have interest in solo board gaming and that's been the main thing that has kept me from exploring that path for a video.
Actually the 1-2-3 spots on player boards do not correspond each to one of the actions. They just track how many action each player has already taken. All three spots refer to any of the three possible actions. That’s why the first icon in consolidation phase shows the players retrieving the three action discs from all three action spots. All players will always end up covering all three spots at the end of the action phase.
Correction to the correction: Around 18:50 there's a correction text that says electrical towers don't show which income you can take. They DO show which income you can take, just not in the way the video says. See Income Thresholds, page 15: "An income marker may not cross an income threshold that has not been unlocked. ..."
you collect every possible scoring opportunity before paying your investors, in any case, you just end up with $0. So far the lowest ever score, which I know, is around $40. Let me know if you break that record! Thanks for the interest!
You'll know it's a heavy game when after 1 hour and 20 mins Jon says "don't worry, we'll be getting to that very soon"!

This is awesome to hear, I really hope you enjoy playing it :)
Well. Simply iconic. Jon at his best

was going to point out the same thing
Was going to say the same. But thought I’d leave a comment to improve Jon’s engagement stats. 😅😂
Good catch! I've added a correction, thanks.
The game seems very interesting... love the theme and the material sure I have to look it... thanks

Check Barrage, game about power from dames
@@romanchirowski1291 less of a real-world thematic connection though but yes, if I back this game is because I want another Barrage competitor

@@GettingGames I figured as much, as I said just throwing it out there. Thanks for the reply. You have a great day Jon!

And now that I continue the video, that aspect is indeed explained. But the text is misleading.
CORRECTIONS:
1:03:38 - Yellow gains $0 for their Remote income, not $1.
1:05:06 - 4+4=8, not 7!
You can see Vital’s influence in this, if im not mistaken this is O’toole artwork, gotta be honest, not a big fan of this one, feels like a prototype
Muy bueno!
You only gave the purple player three(3) energy at 1:05:06 instead of four(4).
Good catch! I've just added a correction, thanks!
What happens if you can't pay back the loan at the end of the game?
Unfortunately, it's been too long since I played this game to remember the rules enough to answer your question. Sorry about that!

Thanks for the teach, but oh... my... god... too many rules. I love complex games, but this seems just... over the top.
