I like how the basic Tapestry game was also set-up at the beginning of the video, and remained set-up until the part were the expansion box went back to the shelf. Maybe afterwards, Rodney tried solo mode himself. Also, one of the things I liked with Tapestry is that all of the miniatures are pre-painted. It made all of the buildings stand-out in this video like you'll looking at a small city being built. I wish more games came out with the miniatures already pre-painted, in case you're one of those people who doesn't have the time, money, and/or patience to paint them yourself, or have a hard time seeing very small spots on small figures so that you can tell if you missed a spot or not while painting them.
Well, Jamey and his team have done it again with another out of the park expansion for one of our favorite games. I love the additional track, although it is going to make choosing tracks even harder. The best part of this game is the wide variety of strategies you can try to get the best scores, and they have done a lot to give you even more ways to think things through. I cannot wait to get my copy!!! Thanks for the glimpse of the game in yet another outstanding production. (We are in the new house finally; just moved in the week before US Thanksgiving. So I am stealing a minute to watch some Watch it Played. Shhhh. We played Atlantis Rising yesterday which had been in storage waiting for us. It gave us a run for our money; our toes were gettin wet. Our new house will have a game room dedicated just to games. We are going to have a table, just a standard table we decided, in there for gaming, and all our games in cubes on the walls. I can’t wait).
I'm an idiot. It only just now occurred to me that Rodney likes to coordinate his shirt and background with the dominant colors on the game box. Well done!!!!
Oh gosh how did I not know there was another expansion for tapestry coming out!!!!! Guess I'll have to pick it up hehe. Hopefully at some point they release a big box for the game and expansions
I am slowly integrating my family (mom and dad) into the world of board gaming, Rodney. How would you rate the complexity of the base game + expansions for novices to play?
This is always very hard to assess for someone else. What's complicated for one person might be a breeze for someone else. I think your best bet is to watch the tutorial for Tapestry and then be brutally honest with yourself about the capacity of your mom and dad to grasp all the various concepts working at once. If you've never played a game of similar complexity with them, then it's going to be more of a risk, than if you've played something as or more complicated with them already.
This looks pretty interesting. Thank you for the excellent explanation Rodney! Did you get a chance to play the game with this expansion? I am curious how much you felt this added to the experience if so? I have Tapestry and the Plans and Ploys expansion but it doesn't get to the table that much due to the setup time and I think everyone we've played with (including myself) feel like it's missing a little something. I have hung onto it in hopes that an expansion might come along that adds that little bit of umph I think the game needs. I wonder if you relate to any of the above, and if so, did this expansion push the game up a little higher on the "get to the table" list for you? If this happens to be available at BGG CON perhaps a closer look can occur there, but in leiu that...
Hey, hope you get a chance to check it out! I tend to avoid offering my personal thoughts on the games I feature. An expansion I enjoy for a game might not work for someone else. I prefer to show the game, and let the viewer apply their tastes to what they're seeing. Thanks for checking out the video!
Wonderful work on the video Rodney. Can't wait to add this to my collection. This was the game that got me Into board games...and your tutorial in Tapestry convinced me to buy it :)
Hey, thanks for the interest. I tend to avoid giving personalized recommendations. What I like, someone else might not - but hopefully you see a few games on here that might be what you are looking for!
My wife (Teej) usually does a lot better than me at any kind of resource management game where players can maximize the number of turns they take. In both this game and Arnak, she will have so many more turns toward the end. But then she lets me take extra turns, so I'm not just waiting on her. :) The good life.
I like seeing different ways of using some of the buildings and tech, so if you get those cards and aren't building towards that strategy, you can use them in a different way.
Hi I'm Tiynuwan Hey this month I'm going to take the board game catan. I know you don't get any speciality on that but that's a very special thing to me. Catan is the first board game I've learned from you and from that moment I felt love with it. Now I think it been 4 years since I watched that video and until now I tried to get one 😯😦😓but I didn't gave up. You know I live in srilanka and I looked all around but no. Then I went to Italy and I found it🤗😇 but then I ran out of money😖😢. But now I will have it. Thanks Rodney bye🤗
What happens if you drop the box? Do you redo the whole monologue? (You've probably been asked this before. Sorry, but after all these years, somehow it hit me now to ask).
@@WatchItPlayed Hey man, thanks for the reply. I totally get where you're coming from, makes a lot of sense. Keep up the good work, I've been seeing your videoos pop up in my feed and Iove them. You just got yourself a new subscriber. lol
The preorder is on December 1 from Stonemaier Games, with shipping to follow over the days that follow. The worldwide English retail release date will be a few months later.

Tapestry is my favorite game and this looks like a fantastic expansion, thanks for the great overview!
You're very welcome - thanks for checking it out!
I think this is what we all wanted for an expansion and experience. Really looking forward to it!

After all this time, im always impressed and looking forward to the box spin and catch. Love your stuff Rod :)
Thanks Christian :)

Congrats on the move, and for finding some minutes to watch some episodes :) !

I try!
Thanks for an awsome rules breakdown. This is a must have expansion for sure.
Glad you enjoyed what you saw - seems like it's going to add some interesting twists!
Do the new capital mats have any rules adjustments considering they are "advanced"? Great video as always Rodney!
Yes, they have some additional features which are described on the mats themselves.
Can't wait to pick this expansion up the game and first expansion
Hey, thanks for checking this out - glad you enjoyed!
Rodney! Is the single token underneath the arts cards a first player token? I'm pretty sure it is but have to be sure! Also great video yet again!
Sorry, do you have a time stamp to the section you are referring to?
Oh gosh how did I not know there was another expansion for tapestry coming out!!!!! Guess I'll have to pick it up hehe. Hopefully at some point they release a big box for the game and expansions
Glad to be able to surprise you!

It was my third ever board game and I'd rate it as mildly challenging to learn. It has a lot of rules and symbols.

Justin, I didn't remember that! That's wild. Well, you're certainly into board game now!
Great video Rodney! Can't wait to get this under the Christmas 🌲👍🏻
I hope you were good this year!
Thanks so much Rodney, fantastic video as always! Bring on Christmas so we can give this bad boy a spin!
Have a great time playing over the holidays :)
Is it possible to use one of the old player tokens to mark the arts track, instead of one of the new ones? 🤪
It's risky, but you could try.
Great explaination!
Thanks!
so, what do you think? contrast and compare the two expansions; Plans and Ploys & Arts and Architectures. Which do you like, which is better?

@@WatchItPlayed Understood. I know your channel is not a review channel. Just wondered. Love what you do! Happy Holidays!

Tapestry is my favorite game ! Also i am 1st in arena BGA Tapestry and i would like to play this expansion on BGA too
Wow, nice rank!

I am so glad you were able to get a copy - I hope you have a wonderful time playing and sharing it with friends!
Now that's an impressive set of COIN games, Rodney!
I really fell down that rabbit hole!
What happens if you drop the box? Do you redo the whole monologue? (You've probably been asked this before. Sorry, but after all these years, somehow it hit me now to ask).
Are you suggesting I don't catch it the first time, every time? *gasp*
If a tech card with a landmark on it moves to another player, does the landmark move with it?
That's a great question! I would say the landmark moves with it.
Thanks to Jamey for the assist!
Wondering if you would ever do a video on Mage Knight.
Thanks for the interest! I talk a bit about that here: ruclips.net/video/EdtDuvIUa6A/видео.html&t=342

Now I'm sad that my 3d Printer Insert is about to be useless...time to print another one.
Do you want A. Play with capital city 2, or..
B! Always B
Ha!
I’m only here to watch him flip the board game… hahaha
