Got mine today. We already played some rounds. This game is wonderful. I bought the gold edition. It’s very easy to understand and play. The basics are so easy that they fit on two sides of a playing card for easy reference as you play. The simplicity of the general rules allows the cards themselves to truly shine. They add more than enough complexity and strategy to keep things fresh and interesting. You basically just play the card and do what it says without esoteric rules bogging the game down. This is super underrated and I hope it eventually gets the recognition it deserves. It’s perfect for any kind of couple or group looking for a quick and simple game to play. Doesn’t matter if you’re a veteran like me or a beginner to tabletop like my wife. Anyone can, and will, enjoy their time with this.

You guys used to have a playthrough video, correct? What happened to that video, or where can I find it?

when a catastrophe flips over and we finish doing the effect do we play a round of traits or does dealer pass to the left and then that person immediately draw a new age card and play continues?

@doomlings

Жыл бұрын

You play the round without drawing a new age. The new dealer is the first player.

So at the end of the game, once the final catastrophe card is played, what happens to the trait cards in my hand? Do they all just go to my trait pile, and get counted towards being tallied to my points?

As stated in the rules, if you begin your turn with 0 cards in hand, you'll draw 5 cards and skip your turn.

This doesn't match the printed rules, is it out of date? Specifically the rules say the dealer and first player rotate in catastrophe

@@doomlings Overall it was great but there were a few things that we had questions about that the video didn't cover. If an opponent steals a trait that has an action (+1 to gene pool), can they then play the action of that trait card? On the third catastrophe, do the players do the white and the gold or just the gold? If a player plays the dismissal on the third catastrophe, how does the player proceed? At the start of a new age and turn, does everyone reset to start with 5 for their gene pool?

@doomlings

Жыл бұрын

@@maryshinault5003 Yes their gene pool goes up. When the final catastrophe is drawn you'll play your gene pool effect and catastrophic effect just like any other catastrophe, players then in turn order check their traits in their trait piles for any "worlds end" symbols in the bottom right corner (graphic in directions book) and resolve those effects then you resolve the gold worlds end effect. No more turns are taken, tally scores. Not sure what you mean by dismissal? Can you clarify that for me want to make sure I'm answering your question correctly, are you playing a specific card to dismiss a catastrophe? Yes at the end of a turn you "stabilize" to your gene pool. If this has decreased/increased then you stabilize to that instead of 5

Just a question. I received the kickstarter overlush and its amazing, but do you have any tips to manage the trait pile with the original? So many traits cant be on the table haha. And with so many cards "kidney and or Swarm" will be kind of a legendary becouse the change to pick one is 1 in 300 or so haha. Let me know, and thank you in advance

What happens if you steal/swap a trait card from the trait pile that has an effect? Do you immediately apply that effect? Even if it’s an Action card?

If it does not dictate that you can't then yes you apply the effect immediately. For instance if you swap/steal a trait card that gives you a higher gene pool you would adjust up accordingly. If you have a specific example we're happy to make sure it's the case in that one!

@@doomlings Kudos for the fast reply! And that make sense. Reason why I’m asking is because a scenario came up today where my opponent played the “Morality” card which reads, “To play, you must give 1 positive value trait from your trait pile to an opponent.” And they gave me the “Telekinetic” Action trait card. Which reads, “Swap 1 trait from your trait pile with an opponent’s trait of a different color.” So would I apply the Telekinetic effect as soon as I add it to my trait pile?

If your number of cards is to match your gene pool, why would you have cards in your hand?

The gene pool is the card that has numbers on it. This indicates how many cards you have in your hand. So if it's placed at "5" you will have 5 cards in your hand. It does not affect your trait pile which are the cards you have played in front of you. Does that clear it up? If not let us know! :D

If its 5, Then from what I gather you play 1 trait card from your hand and place it face up on the table or do you place all your cards face up at the start? How many cards can you have in your gene pool? I have a feeling we played it wrong as we started with 5 trait cards and all our trait cards were placed face up on the table? 2/2) Or start with all 5 of the trait cards in your hand, and each player takes it in turn to lay a trait card face up on the table and do any actions before they stabilise the number of cards in their hand!

Gene Pools go up to 8 and this pool gets affected by cards and age/catastrophe cards. Your Gene Pool represents what your hand size is after you stabilize. You'll have more or less throughout the game just remember to stabilize at the end of your turn. It will be the 2/2.
