Looks like a really nice filler / quick game. Wondering a bit about staying power / replayability and card variety. Might be worth buying and trying out though, since it's quite cheap and comes in a smallish box.

Great playthrough guys! Just one thing, not sure if it was already mentioned. At 36:00 you (Monique) chose to put Toys in your backpack. When Naveen followed, he chose to add Pizza. But the Rules for following is that the Follower must choose the same resource as the Leader. That’s under “Specific Situations” in the rule book under Following the Leader.

I love watching your playthroughs, this game has been sitting on my shelf for a bit too long. Time to break it out.

This theme is so cute! I didn't really vibe with the art, despite loving the art in Root until I saw this video and got the theme. Its a really nice iteration of deck building, and the constant stealing of cards gives it something really interactive.

I enjoyed Grant's SPQF, but found the iconography to be confusing at times. I wasn't sure that the theme of this reskin/revision would work, but it seems to do so very well. Fantastic play through, and I very much appreciate you both "talking through your turns"- that provided me a lot of useful insight into some of the player interactions. Thanks! 🖖

Just got this one yesterday, and trying it tonight! Question- if you previously finished an action to completion from your card, can't the second action be partially fulfilled? Requirement being at least one action has to be done in entirety? So you could complete your private action fully and then if your public action is take two resources for your stuff but you only have room for one, you could still that action? Thank you for this playthrough! Bought it because of your Top Ten's of 2020 :)

I noticed how often the best friends are discarded.... they really must be best friends to be disregarded that often... lol. Thanks for the recommendation from the other video (the one about games that brought you into the hobby). This game looks great. I might pick it up when it comes out in canada.

At 35:57 I think you forgot to count your wild icon in the lookout. I believe you should have taken 5 things there instead of 4. Great video BTW! I owned and sold SPQF because after one play it felt too confusing to parse. This version seems to be smoothed out in a big way from the icons and even the complexity of the actions. Thinking I may want to give this version try.

@@BeforeYouPlay do you have to have two of the same suit before you use a wild in the look out, i seen at one point u used a card from your hand instead of using your wild in the look out i was a bit confused

At 52:50 you can put a COPY from your staff to backpack, not random resourses

Listening to your review, and how one critique was not using up many friend cards from the big deck of cards. I notice there are multiple copies of all/some friends. I wonder what would happen if you tried only using one copy of each friend in a 2 player game?

I think I'm at a point where I'll buy anything Leder Games/Wehrlegig. Love Root and its art, adore Oath and its art (played on TTS), really digging what I'm seeing from Fort and its art. Oh and Pax Pamir 2nd ed is... a masterpiece? It's definitely amazing gameplay and component wise.

great video, and a nice overview of the game. just bought this for my girlfriend!

I really just love you guys! Naveen, with all respect, do you ever win? 🤣 I don't know if I just only pick the games that Naveen loses or if Monique just kills it most of the time. 🤣

This game is incredibly thematic and the mechanics follow the theme SO well. The game is so cheap too, $34 in Canada and holy crap $24 in the USA. Great deal!

Just a little confused on the follow action. At 38:53 you played "Tiny" which allowed you to collect any resource which was a pizza, and Naveen followed by discarding and taking a pizza; do they have to take a pizza if the symbol says any? But at 36:07 after you played toys to your pack, he followed by playing a pizza to his.

Hi guys! Love your vids! Question regarding the Prince follower action: Monique took the follower action at around the 25:18 mark and discarded the crown suit as normal, however she didnt tuck the exact suit Naveen tucked under his board. Is this the correct way of playing the follower action with this card? I was under the impression that the follower had to do the action exactly as the leader intended. Thanks for your time!

At 3:25the backpack and hand icon states to copy your pack to your stuff. You stated move stuff to your pack. Or am I applying this wrong

Just watched this now. I have a question. On the first turn at 11:45, when Monique followed, did she have to discard a book card when the public action didnt need a book to trigger?

This looks really fun. I don't know If anyone I know would play it with me so I kind of wish they would have an automoma. Otherwise very interesting. May pick it up anyway and force someone to play it eventually. But more importantly, where's Dexter? How is he doing?

I really missed any info about this game, though I’m really interested in Leder Games as I currently have played and own all their games. This is a big surprise to me and I think the theme is brilliant (and as you pointed out, they cleverly integrated the mechanics). I definitely have to keep an eye on this one. Thank you for the video 😊

At 32:10 why you didnt choose to get 4 toys with the Ghost action choosing the Skateboard suit instead of Shovel (You did the same thing just earlier with pizzas!) Could you not or something? Trying to get my head around the rules!

Thanks for the playthrough, I thoroughly enjoyed it - and spotted that I've been playing my lookout cards wrong before :) I think I might have spotted one rule difference (maybe this changed during the Kickstarter campaign). It seems like you don't have to boost the top and bottom action separately, the played cards and the lookout work for both of the actions. It's not clear from the rulebook, but at least that's the consensus in boardgamegeek.com/thread/2543910/are-lookout-cards-spent-during-turn. Thanks again, you have a new subscriber :)

At 20:40 you use Skids to move a pizza and a toy. Why can you mix resources in that case, but you have to stick with the same resource type when using a card like Ghost? The rule book really does not do a good job of clarifying some of the rules.

Thank you for this playthrough. I'm still on the fence with this game though. Not sure I'm a fan of the repeated cards. Could easily have been just another kid, with the same card power. For some reason, when the Doodles second card showed, I was strangely disappointed. Also, and even though it is the name of the game, it feels that the 11 point swing from finishing the fort is too punishing for someone that stayed at Fort level 4. I'll need to try it before I decide to buy.

Skids seems OP

Does Monique's perk allow her to "move" stuff to her pack that she doesn't yet have? I'd imagine that if you only have 1 pizza in your stuff, you'd only be able to move 1 to yout pack, and that 1 would instead come from the supply...
