Tom Vasel is great to get real quick idea if a game is for me or not, but if I want to understand a game, see it's full potenital and see what it's really about... I turn to you for every game. Thanks for doing what you do and putting in the time to play these games from scratch. Fantastic work.

Your delivery is very clear and you have good energy while explaining, it keeps me engaged. So many tutorial videos sound like the host is on Xanax and I just get too bored listening to them to even concentrate.. Great job! can't wait to try this game out with the wife later.

In the turn around 15:00, Jen should have checked 4 cards and drawn 4 for the storm, as the storm track had moved up :)

i think you're great at explaining board games!

Love your runthroughs, you've got a new subscriber! Glad to see this game is different enough from Forbidden Island to make it a new experience. Worth picking up.

Bought this game and LOVE IT. Thank you so much for the recommendation and the run through. I even enjoy LOSING to this game! Btw, I think there's a big advantage to having a Navigator in the game. We lost three times without him and then won twice in a row with him. Anyway, I love your channel and am very much enjoying tabletop gaming with my wife and friends now. Keep up the good work!

i so totally love these little corrections in text fields.

Great video, although the storm moves in the opposite direction than you're calling. If you move the eye of the storm to the right, the storm moves to the right, and the tile that was in the right of the eye moves left. So the tile moved left, the storm right :)

Actually, the rulebook says to do it just like it was presented in the video. If a card has one block with a left arrow, then you move one block left. It's quite clear in the diagrammed steps.

Wow, the mechanics of this game are SO good! Dammit Rahdo, you're costing me a fortune in games! xD

seems tons better than forbidden island

Sounds like an awesome game to play, i want it so badly! So far i played Pandemic and Forbidden Island and it was a blast!

It's not that there is a card that when you turn it up the piece is shown or anything like that. Two cards show the column and row of the piece. Wherever they show, you put the piece there. So whichever space the two point toward, that's where it will magically appear in that particular game. Watch a couple of minutes into his extended play video and you'll see how the first piece is 'discovered.' An example: The propeller clue for the Row it's in is the top left tile. Then you find the propeller clue for Column in the bottom right tile. That would mean the propeller will be placed on the top right tile, because that's where that row and column would intersect. There's nothing actually on that top right card showing a propeller, it's just the clues that get turned over and show where it 'should' be in that game. So you dig there and just get the propeller. I hope that helps explain it. :)

Since watching your videos I've got Forbidden Island, Pandemic, and I'll be getting Forbidden Desert too

On Jen’s first turn, around 11:15, the storm was already as far left as it could go, but shouldn’t sand tiles have been placed on the tiles to the right?

@PauloRenato23

6 жыл бұрын

you only place sand on tiles you actually move, if you don't move you don't place sand

Love the new sign haha ;) Great Runthrough.

This looks more interesting to me then the Island but I have one worry and that's the lastability of the game. A good number of alternate characters with different abilities is nice for bringing change of pace but I wonder if that will keep it interesting enough to bring out to the table again after a couple of plays.

You are the diagonal guy lol... you are playing with the archaeologist power; but that person is red... love the video though!

I love your runthroughs! I've been trying watch every runthrough to plan out my next board game for the family. But! I'm having a really hard time finding THE next one. Maybe you can help? We want something a little more complex and difficult than pandemic and forbidden desert, also I'm looking for strictly co op games. Any suggestions?

@rahdo

8 жыл бұрын

well the easiest thing would be to add expansions to pandemic, that up the complexity. pandemic legacy does the same thing. but if you want something totally new and different as a step up, maybe thunderbirds (same designer as pandemic & desert), or space cadets away missions?

@12:30 couldn't you have removed an additional sand? Or can you only do two sand on the same tile (or once per turn)?

@PauloRenato23

9 жыл бұрын

The power he has allows to remove up to 2 sand from one tile for 1 action... he used it in his 3rd action... the 4th action he could either remove up to 2 sand from the tile he's on or from the an adjacent tile... none of those tiles have 2 sand so he can only remove 1 sand on his 4th action

What happens if both clue cards for a single airplane part are excavated and are in the same row or column? How do you figure out the part location?

@rahdo

4 жыл бұрын

then you haven't found a part yet because you have to find a card indicating a row and a column. if you've found 2 rows but no columns you haven't found anything yet. when you eventually find a column, then you've got the location of 2 pieces :)

I got my copy last week, all the cards were missing so I can't play yet.

When Wil Wheaton's Tabletop channel did this game, they seemed to understand the storm movement as the inverse of how you understood it.... I guess I'll have to get the game to see which is right!Great run-through, though! Kudos. I'm definitely getting this game.

On Jen's second turn, shouldn't she have used her special power to peek at *four* sand cards, since the level had moved up to 4, on your turn, before?

Hey! Awesome clear gameplay run through! Thanks for that :) Two questions: 1-If you are on a tile that moves due to the storm, do you move with that tile? 2-if you are on a tile that has sand on it already, then a second sand is placed on that tile, what happens to you? Maybe you talked about this and I just totally missed it :) Thanks!

+vangelis agathokleous one of the tiles points left and right, the other tile points up and down. No matter where they are - they'll intersect at some point. There is an icon on the tiles to make sure you don't have both of them pointing up and down or both going left and right. Make sense?

+SkipSandwichDX1 So there is an icon on the tile making it so that there is only one correct orientation (aka the tile has a top and a bottom). Because of this one part clue will always point up and down - designating an entire column. Another will always point side to side - designating an entire row. Any column and any row will always intersect on one space. This space is where the part goes.

Great vid u really helped

heyyyy new upgraded sign!

This is on my insta-buy list. Just need someone to have it in stock.

Any reason why you played the Meteorologist (white) and Engineer (red) roles and yet used the green (Explorer) and blue (Water Bearer) pawns? Made it a bit confusing.

@annasoldatova6739

4 жыл бұрын

Made it extremely confusing for me. The colour indicates the special powers. The player card is just there for reference. You sort of get used to these coloure. Explorer is always green. Archeologist or engineer is always red. Navigator yellow. Black pawns moves through sunk or blocked tiles. You get used to it.

My game version didnt come with the White Meteorologist Player Card
