    Another great tutorial. A game w this many cards, tokens, and mechanics can feel very daunting, but you have a way of breaking it down into easily understandable elements. The best way to learn a game is to have a friend who already knows teach you and these videos feel like that. Thanks.

    I have seen Above and Below for awhile at Barnes and Noble but never really considered it. Finally watched this play through of the game and immediately went out and bought it. What a great little game! Light hearted, quick turns yet still many decision paths to take for victory. I have had it a week and played six times already. That is why I love this channel. I get exposed to a variety of games I would never consider and also see how game play works to see if I would like them before I buy. Keep up the great work!

This video is neutral, but super well explained, so its a clear not backing for me, but for the sole reason I have another game that is similar enough not to need both, otherwise I would have backed it and got the first one from retail. Your Zombicide Black Plague game play video was truly excellent too, keep up the great work!

It makes it much easier for my gaming group to prepare every time we try one of these for the first time. Can I ask what have been your favorite games that you have played so far? And my group has a request: at some point could you do Mansions of Madness? We've been considering picking it up for a while now but there aren't any decent videos about it out there, so we don't really know what to expect. Thanks!

    Hi Rodney! Thanks for the great videos. Just a couple questions as I foray through my own solo-two-player game: 1) do goods gained from explores (or harvests, I guess, but I'm not there yet) have to go into the advancement track immediately? You mention that the order is important but I've only got the one good and I know I can't leave a space. 2) When the original row of outposts and regular houses are gone, can they be replenished for free or does the player wishing to build have to pay to refresh in this case? Thanks again!

    Is there a point in stacking more than one of the same good on the advancement track? For example, in your video, you have two pears stacked on the second slot. Is that different than having just one stacked? Seems like it is riskier to put two pears in that slot vs having it available to sell or trade since you cant remove things from the track?

    Can you take a free action on the turn you pass (before passing), or are you forced to pass right away if you do not have any workers? Also can you choose to harvest a building in two actions if you wish to? (I assume you can't multi harvest multiple building in one action too, right?)

    Can you explore multiple caves a turn? Like say I have four villagers can I send two to explore them two again onto a second cave card? And also did I hear correctly that after each action you pass to the next player? So say I explore a cave, does that mean the player to my left now makes an action and I have to wait til priority comes back to me to build/train etc.

    I hope I'm not being too pestering, but I just picked the game up and we had a question in regards to Free Actions. I understand that I can perform as many free actions as I want prior to my normal action. But can I only perform my unlimited free actions once time during the round, or, for instance, can I keep refreshing the buildings over and over again, so long as I do it prior to my normal action for the turn. Hope that makes sense.

While I don't remember the exact wording in the rules my group have played that you can spend a maximum of 1 potion and 1 cider. Around 1230 you talk about using potions and/or ciders and from your wording I get the impression that you could spend any amount of potions or ciders. So if you have 2 injured villagers it would be possible to get them ready for 2 potions and 2 ciders? Have I been playing this wrong for so long?
