That last execution round was like the iconic scene near the end of The Godfather when Michael was going through his godchild's baptism ceremony while all of his enemies are getting slaughtered. "Do you reject Satan and all his works?" BLAM! BLAM! BLAM! "I Do reject them." KABOOM!
Great game of a potential great game. Need to find the perfect three people t play this. Had it reached quickly at Essen, but this play through convinced me.
Great video🙌! I think there is another deviation from the rule: When you select to choose the actions above the column you *remove* all disks from that column. I' d expect that makes quite a difference. Not sure if the HC variant is heavier in this case🤔
When you move the Influence to the bottom sheet(both when doing the top&bottom action), it doesn't have to be in the same column. This quite affects which action is chosen and blocked. Do you think this would change much of how the game feels?
I dont think the game would have played much differently, some action choices would've been less restricted for sure, but at the same time you got to keep an eye on those bottom columns and how they fill up. Probably unwise to leave those lower columns with very few discs, especially if your team doesnt go first in the following turn..
Y'all are correct in that we made it more restrictive than it need be. With that being said, I had a call with Clay over at Capstone and ran this by him and it may end up being a more strategic official variant. Sorry for us getting this one wrong.
@@Heavycardboard It's just wrong, because you can end up in the top sheet with 5 discs and only 1 space left in the bottom column. So you can't end the planing phase if you play it like you did :D
Nice video, thank you for the thorough explanation however it seems you have played with a wrong rule. Influence discs do not have to go in the same column when you move them down to select an action. You can choose any bottom column and free action space for your discs.
The rulebook could have been more clear. Because the only example shows the same column and the wording just says any empty action space, doesn't necessarily mean any, could just any empty space beneath it.

When you move the marker during the planning phase, you can go to any emptyspace in the bottom sheet. It is not necessary to follow the column. Isn't this right?
It's very high. - 6 factions and 2v2 team format. Different team combinations will result in a more dynamic interaction between players. - Seating affects turn order (which factions go before which) and where your starting troops are placed. Hence a very dynamic map. - Each game uses 7 Techs to upgrade out of 11. You won't upgrade the same way each game. - Different starting Resources. - Battles are not deterministic. This is a game that comes with true infinite replayability. There is a high level of dynamics between each element of the game. Different setups will bring different relationships (Red plays before Blue would be different than Blue plays before Red). You will have to adapt a lot, using different strategies and choices each time.
as confirmed by the designer, Passing is not an option. The rulebook is at fault here. It said during the Planning phase, "you MAY move an influence". However, I doubt anyone would pass in this game since action is so valueable.
Definitely a color set that will be divisive. I really like it as well. Maybe that’s the best way to determine teams - like the art plays against hates the art 😂
I find that the color palette for the island itself is great and spot on. The tones of the action layout on the other hand are too saturated, for my taste, perhaps they could have chosen different hues.

"Do you reject Satan and all his works?"
BLAM! BLAM! BLAM!
"I Do reject them."
KABOOM!
That's precisely how it felt being on the receiving end of that, too!😂 Well said!
Another great play through, thanks for this. I can see this one going down very well with my group. Would love to see you all play it again sometime.

Did you know the 2p-3p expansion is coming out at SPIEL '24? Two unique modes of play. Happy to show y'all 😊
Pre-Ordered! Looks great, great gameplay!

One of the problems is that by moving down you set the prices for the next round. This can be very crucial.

Yes, this is very important. Influence discs can but have not to got in the same column when you move them down!!!

@@codydavis3100 I agree it is not clear, infact this same question was posted on BGG (and answered by the designer).

@Heavy Cardboard have you tried it with the corrected rule? It feels like it would still be a great game but a different decision space

Yes, you can plase the token ANYWHERE. This is a huge mistake in rule explanation in this video
Can you really do "pass" as an action ? and for 1 dollar ? I didn't this mentioned in the rule book. Is this a variant thing ?
Fami-g-lia made my day :D
Thanks for the video, it's really hepfull 👍
These where randomly selectedn. Meaning I selectedthem out off camera". I bet the house holds a decent percantage of any bets Signore...
How about its replayability??? Can you talk about that?
It's very high.

Ultima Azione should be resolved at the end of the planning phase
I am not sure passing is an option during the planning phase.

So many rules played wrong here. I don't understand how this happens, I am surprised the game "worked" :D
1:31:17 wrong, it's directly adjacent
why are you pronouncing famiglia like that
Damn, the game is ugly.. The art style and the colors are terrible to me...
Really?? I think it looks amazing…
@@chiptrip1984 I am getting a childish feel from it, and I do not like it.

That’s insane, this game is beautiful.
One hell of a distasteful theme!
