I just want to take a second to appreciate Tarrant's care for placing cards, tiles and meeples in precisely straight, equidistant, centered, orthogonal ways that make the presentation clearly visible and extremely soothing for OCD people like me! Carefully prepared examples and efficiently and beautifully presented. Thank you so much!

@@MeepleUniversity I have, actually! I do love the expansion because we love the base game so much. However, the staff workers added for the expansion add to the rules complexity. I wouldn't use the expansion with new players, and I think new purchasers should probably just buy the base game first to try out. The base game is already complex and satisfying enough. For people well-versed in the base game, however, I'd recommend the expansion though!

Thank you for sharing that. That make sense, expansion usually adds to the variety. The number of times we try game with expansion immediately, we regretted it usually after🤣. Oh we do like this one and you're right, it's satisfying playing it. Ok hopefully we'll get to play the expansion one day

Why do they pronounce valet as ballot? The word is derived from French so the 't' is silent and it's pronounced val-ey

The rulebook for this game is so annoying for a somewhat simple game. There's too much detail , should just give us the rules at face value and then have a detailed side paragraph if needed for certain circumstances. For example the rulebook should be "Once per turn you may buy a building tile." Instead we get - On your turn you can buy a new building BUT only if you have the money to buy that tile AND if your awake to do so, because if your asleep right now your just dreaming, ALSO if you don't have hands to take the tile be sure to see if someone can grab that for you and put it into your board BUT make sure it goes under the same color column as other building types .

Thank you for creating this how to play video. You explain it so perfectly and make it so much easier for people to get straight into playing the game.
