I like the format of this video. You explain not just the setup, rules, pieces, factions, etc but what we should be thinking when we make each decision, which as I learn this game is really the important part, and essential to gaining VP. It's such a layered, detail oriented game! You always need to be thinking ahead. Somehow you kept the extensive layers and complex processes on track! 😎👍

Firstly, great video. Secondly, quick rule check. At around 20.56, in this situation you should gain power equivalent to your own structures on the board, not your opponent's structures. Jen is building next to your dwelling (value 1), so you have the ability to gain one power.

I know this video is 11 years old old but man, it was EXTREMELY helpful. I'm an avid board gamer and have played my fair share of heavy games but I was just lost with this game, even after watching so many how-to videos. Finally, after finding this gem of a video, I have a great understanding of what to do and why we are doing it. Thank you!!!

Rahdo! You are one of my favorite people to watch on KZread!!! When the video started, I said "Hey, Everybody..." right along with ya. Keep up the great work!

Error Richard. When placing a building you must inform the owners of Structures directly adjacent to your Structure that they may gain Power. The next bit is what you got wrong at 20:42. In order to determine the total number of Power an opponent may gain, add up the Power values of THEIR Structures directly adjacent to your newly built Structure. So the power you may get is based on your adjacent building not their building they just built or upgraded. You should have only got 1 power not 2.

This game is the most complex game I’ve learned, and your videos going through the thought process and decision-making are so helpful!

Love Terra Mystica. I can't imagine tackling a playthrough video of this game. You have my respect, sir.

Just got this game and read through the rules and was a bit overwhelmed/confused. This video really helped me out and gave me a much better sense of how the game was played and how the rounds went. Thanks, now I'm super excited to try this out at my next game night.

Man thanks!! You rock! Love the videos and I follow your review and gameplays since Eldritch Horror jeje

Love your runthroughs! :)

Love the videos Rahdo, much appreciated

Nice overview. At first this game didn't seem interesting, but after watching a few more explanations of how to play it's top of my must-have list.

Rahdo you are the best! :)

Well, now this is on my BGG wishlist.

Does this work for two players? The BGG consensus seems to lean towards a negative suggesting that four players is the ideal. What do you think?

Link to Extended runthrough reruns the "standard" one...? Or is it just for me?
