At times I find people who explain games boring.Being seasoned players,they often use game terms and strategy names which people who are just getting into board games complicated and confusing.That is NOT the case with Rahdo, everything is well explained and in such a way that I feel like I’m being taught a game by a friend.When I want a good review on a board game I usually turn to Rahdo.Thank you my friend,I’ve got a long list of games I want to play thanks to you.Jaipur is now one of them 😊
First let me say you do a great job with your run through. But Lord you're costing me a fortune! You talk me into buying about half the games I watch you play! Hope you're getting a commission. Keep up the great work.
I'm really enjoying this playthrough, and I love your enthusiasm when you play/explain what you're doing. I did notice one mistake though, it was with spelling in the pop-up at 3:00. Rubies was spelled rubis, but that was it! Loving your channel, thank you for doing what you do!
just purchased the game & thought I'd watch a video on it.....lo & behold I find yours & I can't imagine the playing the game being any more entertaining than watching (& listening) to you play it by yourself 🤣👍
Man, I'm only five minutes in and this game may be more than 7 years old, but I'm already hooked. Such a simple mechanisms. This seems right up my alley. Edit: The bonus chips seem to be a little overdone though. I guess you can play it without although that would make it a little boring.
Great reviews Rahdo. This is my wife's fav. If there was a world championship of Jaipur, she would be the champ. She somehow manages to sell whatever she wants while stopping me from selling or taking anything I need. She mastered everything but the luck.
Jon Purkis can you articulate why jaipur didn't click for you? also, i'm going to be doing a top10 filler video this month, so that might give you some more ideas :)
Wife and I love this game. Not my usual Dead Of Winter, or Game of Thrones LCG fair, but I enjoy all types of games and this one has more depth than you'd think
Great, I look forward to that. I think it's hard for anyone who likes the game to understand my perspective and I'm certainly not very good at articulating it but here goes: I never got excited by the decisions. I know deep down the decisions are meaningful but I so often felt that I was just going through the motions and never had a tough choice. If I can compare it to Arboretum in that game I want certain cards so badly and its agony to have to discard certain cards. In Jaipur I don't feel that tension. And I guess there's that sinking feeling of "if that card comes up for them they'll take it, then sell it, and there's nothing I can do about it". In Arboretum there are ways I can change my strategy to protect myself from that lucky draw. It's not over as soon as they pick up the card I wanted.
Jon Purkis hmm, okay, well tbh based on that, i'd say that morels probably won't be a goer either. i have done a runthrough for it though, so that might help? ruclips.net/video/huL6GD-QzJM/видео.html
I think Jaipur can be great fun playing the camel game, trying to get the other play to use all their camels and sweep the board for you on your turn. Pushing your luck trying to get bigger combos. The agony is the card flip. Morels has a bit more tough decisions because you can actually see the upcoming cards, but I found it a bit too fiddly managing the cards and such.
Thanks for adding that point of view. That's a really good point on evaluating these kinds of "pick the card/resource" kinds of games. Splendor has a similar feel, but it clicks for me fairly well.
Nice job on the runthrough. I wrangled my SO to watch it with me, so that we could make a determination on purchasing it or not (it ended up being a "yes," though possibly behind a few other priorities). Anyway, thanks!
4 camels in the market and 3 rubies in your hand and the other player didn't take a ruby? take the 4 camels. Nobody is taking the rubies away and you deprive them of options.
I just asked this question on Reddit and got a mixed response, but I'd love your opinion. I didn't like Jaipur - will I not like Morels? I want to pick up another short 2 player game - we've been enjoying Arboretum and Patchwork. But Jaipur never excited us and I was concerned Morels might be too similar? Any other short 2 player suggestions also welcomed.
i just went on a trip and got in a bit of confusion storing stuff with the wife and the baby and left this game on top of the car before leaving, right when i hit highway speed I made the biggest most colorful cloud of chips and cards possible.
Ran across this on Amazon, and it looks interesting and simple and fun with not a lot of time commitment. So I'm glad to find videos like this explaining it so I can decide whether I'd like it. But one thing that's driving me crazy for all these (otherwise helpful!) gameplay videos...it's pronounced JAY-pour, not JYE-pour. :)
What great help in learning this game ! Here we have a question : can one skip a round or does one have to play each time even one doesn't like / want any of the available options ?
i recently got jaipur, because of your review and top 10 filler, it looked fun :D i just have a question... if both teams have the same amount of camels for the herd, does anyone get the herd bonus token or is it just non existent? also thank you for so many reviews for these tabletop games so i can finally get into them with friends
either swap as many cards from your hand as you want with ones on display, or take one card from the display and replace it with one from the draw pile, or take all the camels and refill from the draw pile, or sell sets of cards for points :)
Richie I have a hard question for you! Could you recommend a heavier 2 player game that is a smaller frootprint like this (I.e not fields of arle) that offers plenty of brain burn? Assume my wife and I's taste is exactly like yours and Jen's as far as games you like.
+Marc Bowling that is a tough one, Markie :) heavy games tend to have heavy table space demands. some 'medium' sized games might be gates of loyang, year of the dragon (if you lose the needlessly over large board), helvetia, spyrium, lagoon ... but then, these are kind of more medium than heavy weight...

One of the best games ever and the only game where I enjoy the great deal of depth created by an imposed hand limit.

Just this past weekend I was searching youtube for a Jaipur run through from rahdo! Excellent timing. Thank you!

thank you for doing this video, it's so much clearer than the instructions.
if we ever play Jaipur on a wednesday, we always say "Happy Hump Day" when camel cards are played. :)

Thank you rahdo. Nice video with clear explanation of the game.
The market was constantly upside down...... OCD overload....head hurting....... Self destruct sequence initiated!
This is the most exciting me myself and I game I have ever seen. You sold me 😆
Amazing explanation
This is the second time Rahdo's video has convinced me to buy the game. Last time it was Caylus Magna Carta.
was ruby really that great with only 2 left?
we (hubby and myself) love this game! keep playing it!
This is a fab two player game play it quite often. Though the pink card is silk not carpets :-)
I just looked comments to find if anyone told already.
Nice job on the runthrough. I wrangled my SO to watch it with me, so that we could make a determination on purchasing it or not (it ended up being a "yes," though possibly behind a few other priorities). Anyway, thanks!
Beautifully explained
I loved your playthrough with "Jen AI" you should do it again with second edition, the artwork is fantastic
4 camels in the market and 3 rubies in your hand and the other player didn't take a ruby? take the 4 camels. Nobody is taking the rubies away and you deprive them of options.
Great video. I love it. A lot of useful info.
What do you do when the marketplace is filled with camels and you don’t have enough cards to swap for the camels in your deck?

Ouh nooo I needed to know who won!
always assume jen! :)

Saw an Indian person on another video say j-eye-poor is correct.

It's not pronounced "JAY-pour". The RUclipsr was saying it correctly.
What great help in learning this game ! Here we have a question : can one skip a round or does one have to play each time even one doesn't like / want any of the available options ?
no turn skipping. you always gotta do something :)
@@rahdo , thank you - will do ! Happy new year !
i recently got jaipur, because of your review and top 10 filler, it looked fun :D i just have a question... if both teams have the same amount of camels for the herd, does anyone get the herd bonus token or is it just non existent?
also thank you for so many reviews for these tabletop games so i can finally get into them with friends
+aetyate ties means no camel bonus :)
this is very clear, but what's not clear to me is all your options on each turn.
either swap as many cards from your hand as you want with ones on display, or take one card from the display and replace it with one from the draw pile, or take all the camels and refill from the draw pile, or sell sets of cards for points :)
@@rahdo cool, thanks, I really like your videos btw. keep up the good work! :-)
@Rahdo could you do a clip where you compare the old edition vs. the new edition of Jaipur (it's got new art and other stuff), tx
if they were to send me a review copy, i totally would :)
superb review! :-)
Can you take only one product and put one cammel of your own, because you don't want your opponent to have a new choice?
here's a copy of the rules if you want to check them out :)

Hey are the chips/tokens made from cardboard?
yup, no clay pieces here
Imagine someone in the year 2900 find this game but doesn't have the rulebook for it, do you think he will figure out how he will play it?
i think it's more likely someone would find a digital copy of the rulebook than physical components of the game :)
@@rahdo maybe he'll stumble on your video ;)
*silk
Sweet as a nut😎
u going to spiel? 2015?
IGC yup i'll be there :)
Nice, see you there! sign my macao; bought it because of ur vid haha

Spyrium is a great one. It definitely is a major brain burner, in my opinion. Thanks for the response - I appreciate it, buddy.
Marc Bowling 7 wonders duel would work.
