Hi Jon. Thanks a lot for the playthrough. It was excellent, and very clear as always. Great job by Dave helping out with the explanations too. Just in case you would like to add a note to the Klingon subtitles, at 1:24:14 Dave plays Changa to claim the 20 corruption tile at Tarkovsky's Lair. He does not get the core value of the tile because he is maxed out on both Power and Guile. However, when you play a card you can activate its abilities in any order, so Dave could have first Vanquished to get the corruption tile and after that activated the core value of the card for a Power and a Guile. Love your videos. Keep up the great work!

CORRECTIONS: 22:42 - The Secret Facility also has a "gain top card from the deck" ability but we didn't notice this while playing. 35:19 - Dave forgot to gain 2 guile from the activation of the card he just took. 1:24:14 - We didn't realize you can perform gain the core value and action in any order. So Dave should have vanquished first, before gaining the core value. 1:32:04 - Dave forgot to gain the benefit from his Synergy Halo upgrade which gives him 1 power when he gains at least 2 guile, which did just happen. 1:33:19 - Dave again forgot to gain the benefit from his Synergy Halo upgrade which gives him 1 power when he gains at least 2 guile, which did just happen.

This was such a fun playthrough, Dave is hilarious he really added some awesome flare to this playthrough (even if he got demolished). He did win the boasting bragging rights about Tarkovsky's layer bahaha, you lose there Jon. I'm curious about Expeditions now! I've never played Scythe and definitely want to try/buy that, but this feels like it scratches that "comfort food" itch. Looks like its a breeze to teach others, and the tucking/tableau actions seem really satisfying and simple in their individual components. Been craving easier games to teach others as being the teacher gets a bit exhausting sometimes. I think from one of your "gaming coming and going" videos you mentioned you really enjoyed your time but this game has now left your collection, I'm curious on if this has staying power. It's giving me Tapestry combo-vibes and I don't know if it would serve me to have both (but I have been on a Stonemaier kick so I have the itch to throw money at them...). Anyways, excellent work! I'd love to hear from someone else who's been giving this game a lot of love in multiplayer for a longer period of time how it's been for them!

Thanks for the video! Was very similar to my first game. I had Akiko, maxed out meteorites, and won handily. Strange that only two starting hexes give workers. With more players, those later in turn order would probably have a somewhat wasted first Play action.

I did play this at 4p and was the last player at the start. It took a while to get workers, but I focused instead on other things like exploring and gaining more cards than opponents. I ended up winning!

At 1:24:10 Dave does not take his guile or power because he is maxed. He could do the ability first, spending all of his power and guile and the gain the core values. “In any order, (a) you may gain the card’s core value (in the upper left) and (b) you may place a worker on the card to activate its ability (at the bottom).” Edit:(it looks like you caught this, because at 1:27:37 he had 2 of each - where did the extra guile come from?) Ok. I didn’t have Klingon subtitles on.

The turn at 1:18:26 with the playing of Jiro you could have taken the 20 tile. Don't know if you considered that and decided against it because it didn't fit with your future plans (heading towards the quest and getting all those upgrades) but the moment before made it seem like you didn't have a way to get the 20 tile.

@38:30 - I think rather than refreshing, you should have gathered and played. Sure, Jiro only gets you one guile, but he gets you no guile if you don't use him. Also, you're on hex 3 and there's a quest out there for hex 3 that you could gather, as the gather ability for hex 3 is pick up a face up card.

I would say no, because he does not actually gain it. The example seems to back this up. “MAXIMUM: You cannot have more than 10 power or 10 guile. Example: If you have 9 power and you use an ability that would grant you 2 power, gain only 1 power instead”

At 34:32, Dave plays Control the Possesed and put a purple worker on it. He then takes the card but did not activate it. Shouldn't he Gain 2 guile since he has no corruption? Or does he still have to pay for it with a purple worker and, since he does not have one, cannot activate the newly acquired card?

Mmm using a gather to refresh isn't actually worth that much. You lose a gather (opportunity cost) AND your next turn has 1 less action (compared to after-refresh action). So the only thing you gain is tempo of 1 turn.

I really like your stuff, and your friend seems very nice. But my brutally honest reaction is that this is not up to the high bar that you have set for yourself. I watch your play throughs for precise and clear examples of how the game is played, and this was not quite there. I gave up about 20 minutes in. I don’t want to hear cute comments about the pictures, and I don’t really want to hear about strategy. I just want to understand how the game plays.
