Hansa Teutonica - Tutorial and Playthrough - 3-player base game

[Music] hello everybody thank you very much for watching this video this is a tutorial and playthrough of hansa teutonica the big box version hanzo chewtonica is a game that originally came out in 2009 and pegasus spiel are launching uh they're publishing a new big box version of the game this year now this is the same as the original game there aren't any changes but the big box edition is going to bring in all of the different expansion sets that have been released for the game uh including a britain map excellent so yeah this is going to be a tutorial and play through i've got two friends joining me today so let's say hello to tarrant and stella good morning good morning good morning how are you i say good morning because it's nine o'clock in the morning here but what time is it over there uh 6 30 in 6 30 and on a friday evening friday evening yeah we live in the future yes so we're actually recording this uh prior to uk games expo pegasus bill have asked me to create this video uh which they will release at uk games expo but we're recording it a week in advance and uh yeah stella and tarrant are all the way over in australia but thanks to the power of the internet we're able to play this game remotely so uh yeah tell us tell us absolutely tell us quickly how how this video came about why are you on this uh won this video with me karen doesn't even know that well we know each other we make videos together before but i was tweeting a few games that including this one that have been sitting on our shelf for a while on the shelf of opportunity shelf of opportunity not a wall of shames yeah i like that like better than wolf shames shelf of opportunity and you happen to wanting to film ditch and play through so exactly um reach out to us yeah yeah so that's it um pegasus bill asked me to create this video and i thought right i've got to find some players how am i going to find some players and then yeah you you tweeted and was like oh we've got a copy of hanzo two tonic and we don't know how to play i'm like perfect so yeah neither of you two you you've got the game but you've never played the game and you don't actually know how to play no never played it i've read the rules once right um at least a year ago right so i know there's a map and there's houses and trees there you go that's all you need to know it's all gone that's all you need to know right so we're gonna jump in now and we are gonna start with the game now just mentioned before we start this is a pre-production copy okay it's not completely the final version of the game they did tell me that the discs might end up being a bit bigger but other than that what you see here is pretty much what the game is going to be just be a bear in mind this is a pre-production copy okay so thematically because the theme is important in these games uh this game is all about the german hanseatic league which in latin is handsome tutonica and it's a medieval association of merchants in northern germany the cities that joined the hanseatic league of merchants and cities were known as hanseatic cities um and this was a really important point in history for trading and everything else what each of us is trying to do is we're trying to increase our reputation as merchants now that is represented in the game as in most good games by victory points we have a victory point track around the outside of the board we are going to be scoring points during the game but you are also going to score a lot of points at the end of the game as well so just be aware that the score during the game isn't the full picture and there's a lot of scoring that's going to be coming at the end overall what we're going to be doing is we're going to be taking it in turns and we are going to be placing our cubes in our disks which are so the cubes are traders and the discs are merchants okay we're going to be placing those onto these spaces on the road between two of the cities once a player has uh markers so i they're called tradesmen collectively they're called tradesmen so once you have tradesmen on every space between two cities you may as a future action uh then basically set up a trade route and that will allow you to then place cubes or discs into the cities and it will also allow you to get additional bonuses the winner of the game is the one with the most points at the end of the game but the game can actually end in one of three different ways and i'm going to mention that now so the first way the game can end is when somebody gets to 20 victory points remember this isn't the final score there's going to be a lot added at the end but when anybody actually reaches 20 that's going to mark the end of the game there are also these bonus markers that i'm going to be explaining soon when you take a bonus marker from the board at the end of your turn uh well sorry no when you take a bonus marker from the board you will then take a bonus marker from this stack and then you will place that onto the board at the end of your turn however when you take a bonus marker from the board if this if the stack is empty and you would take a bonus marker but you can't that's when the game ends and also uh some of these cities are small some of these cities only have space for one one trading post in them some of them are huge when a city is filled we need to move this cube down now i'll warn you now we're going to forget to move this cube down it's what everybody always does but this tracks in fact i think it's supposed to start on yeah zero this tracks the number of cities that are full and when the tenth city is full that marks the end of the game as well okay so that's how the game ends let's first decide who's going to go first because that's going to adjust our setup so i'm going to roll the gaming rules dice one to two it's taran three to four it's stellar five to six is me it's a six so it's me so i start so what happens is the player boards are all set up each of us has got the player bulls i'll zoom in on those in a minute but the start player setup is correct so i have my personal supply which is five traders and one merchant and in the general supply which is not mine i have six traders okay taran you're going second so what that means is we move one of the cubes from here to here so you've actually got six traders and a merchant uh and stella you actually go third which means you start with two extra traders okay that's the setup of the game done i'm now going to explain what you do on a turn so on on your turn you take a number of actions and the number of actions you take is indicated let me just zoom in there you go number of actions is indicated by this here you see it says actions two so at the start of the game on your turn you will get to take two actions that can be increased as the game goes on by removing these cubes but at the start of the game you get to do two actions the five actions that you can do are actually printed on the bottom of your player board here so these player boards are really useful because not only do they keep the cubes but they've actually got the five possible actions printed on the bottom and i'm going to go through them from left to right so the first action is take cubes and disks from the general supply and put them into your personal supply and you either take three five seven or all of them c for some reason i'm not sure why it might be latin means all of them from the general supply into your personal supply now your personal supplies here okay the general supply is over here and how many of them you get to take is based on your bag value here so at the start of the game it's three so if you were to do that action right now you would take three cubes from the general supply and you put them in your personal supply okay as the game goes on and you remove these cubes this the action will allow you to gain more may gain more things so that's what that action does this next action this is one of the very important one i mean they're all important but this is a very important one this is place a trader or a merchant on the board so if we just zoom over a little bit to the right you will see if you look closely these spaces actually have a square within a circle what that means is that either a cube or a disk can be placed on these spaces and what you do with that action you simply take one of your cubes and you decide that you want to put it on a space you are putting um cubes and disks on spaces between the roads the exact location actually doesn't make any difference whatsoever okay so that space that space that space are all exactly the same for game purposes it doesn't matter where you go that is that action is to put one thing uh oh hang on there you go put one of your things onto a space on the board the space has to be empty okay the next action i'm going to explain i'm actually going to skip this one and i'm going to explain this one next okay this one allows you to move your traders and merchants around on the board and you move between two and five of them depending upon your book values at the start of the game your book value is two but again that can increase during the game and that tells you how many you get to move around now you don't get to add any more so you might think well hang on a minute surely this is quite inefficient surely it's better to always place them on the board not always you will suddenly find as you start playing the game that the ability to move around potentially up to five with one action can be really useful and when i say move around what you do if i just zoom out let's say you had this one here this one here this one here right and this one here just as an example and your book value had been increased to four you can spend one action and say i'm going to move these four pieces and i'm actually going to put them there okay so with one action you have suddenly filled the route by moving things around so that's the movement action let's just make sure i put these back in the right place so where do you move it sorry so you move it from from anywhere to anywhere yep okay two anyway what i did there is that exactly empty yeah i moved four things around and i moved them all to here but i didn't need to do that i could have put one up there one over here one down here yeah you move and it's not four it's it's it was four in that example because of this but it's actually at the start of the game it's two four yeah four different things not yeah four distances right now i'm going to explain the last action on the player board which is this one and this is what happens when you have a complete root filled and i'm going to put these three on there just as an explanation right so when a route is filled it does not what is it does not automatically convert into a trade route you have to spend an action to do so which is this action here okay you can only do this action when you have a completed trade route and then a whole host of things happens first of all in this particular situation what you're doing is you're actually establishing a trading post in either of the two cities on either end okay some of the other spaces which i'll explain in a minute give you other options but right here this is your only option now if you look closely at these cities you know i mentioned that the spaces on the roads have a square within a circle which means they can contain either type of marker the cities have specific shapes and colours so if you look at arnhem the left most space is a square whereas if you look at munster the leftmost space is a circle and you can only build a trading post on the leftmost space so right now you could not establish a trading post in munster because it would require a disk now if you'd have placed a disk on there for example now you have an option you could either establish a trading post in arnhem or a trading post in monster what you do is you remove these from the board and you put one of them on the left most base so you'd do that if you wanted to establish that there you would do that if you wanted to establish that there these cubes by the way these go back to the general supply not your personal supply okay and that is how you establish a trading post it must be on the leftmost space and it must be a matching type of marker and the color at the start of the game you only have the ability to establish into the the white spaces but if we look back at your player board you will notice this privilege area that's why you can only build on the white spaces as the game goes on and you remove these cubes this will allow you to build in the other colored spaces right and you can only go on the leftmost space so um yeah i think that's it yeah you can only go on the left-hand side now what does being in a city get you well at the end of the game every city that you control is worth two points and you control the city first of all if you're in there nobody else is in there but if somebody else was in there in this case it would be me who controls the city because i'm furthest to the right so first of all you look if somebody's in there on their own they control the city if two people are in there uh like this for example uh in fact let's let's go with the example of three people in there so at this point taran would control this city because he's on the rightmost space but then if stella comes in and grabs the last space uh no in fact let's do let's do that okay stella controls the city because she's got the most the most markers in there so the first tiebreak is the most things in there and then if it's tied it goes to the player to the right okay and control of a city will get you two points at the end of the game but control of a city also gets you something else let me just recreate this example here so every time somebody establishes a trading route so let's say i can i currently controlled arnhem and let's say stella wants to control munster as this trading route is complete what happens is the players who control the cities on either side of it will get one point so at this point in the game i would gain one victory point and then stella could either then put that in there or put that in there okay so that's any time a trading route is established the player on both sides which could be the same player will get one point and that's that's another reason for controlling the cities any question about controlling of cities and that's an in-game point so that contributes to the exactly that is during the game the two points for the city is at the end of the game because control could change as the game goes on right okay one two three four five six seven i think that's right yeah okay right now there are some exceptions and that's these yellow spaces here and i will tell you now not that i want to give you too many tactical advices but these yellow spaces are very very important i'm going to zoom out for a minute because i want to show you the six of them that are in the game there's one there one there one there one there one there one there five of them relate to your player board this one relates to end of game scoring okay now let me zoom in again and look at this one up here so the route between groningen and emdon and let's say taran you've got three cubes on here all right and you now decide to spend one action to establish a trade route you actually now you have the same choices as before you could establish a trading post in groningen and just notice there that there is a number one on that space that means if you do that you will get an instant one point you can't establish a trading post in eminem because you didn't use a disk but you now have a third option and anytime you see a yellow banner with a yellow bit next to a yellow scroll you have a third option and that third option is instead of establish a trading post you can say i don't want to establish a trading post and instead i'm going to improve that ability on my player board and that ability there is the book so what you would do if you chose to do that would be you would take a marker from the book and you would gain it into your personal supply which is awesome because you've made this better but you've also gained an extra disk okay so groningen to emdon is all about increasing your book value and the book value remember means that whenever you move your things around you get to move more if we zoom out and have a look at this space here uh so building or establishing a trading post between stard and hamburg that will allow you to increase your privilege which is here and the privilege will allow you to then place on the coloured spaces in the cities lubeck increases your bag value which means every time you take the leftmost action which is gaining new things you get more of them uh holly is down here i'll come back to that at the end the really really useful one and you will find experienced people not that i want to lead you into a particular strategy but experienced people will generally go for this first the route between gottingen and quedlinberg allows you is the envelope which allows you to remove cubes from your action space that simply gives you more actions on each of your turns and it applies immediately so if you were to unlock the first one not only are you now getting three actions per turn but that takes effect on the turn when you actually unlock it uh and finally colin let's just zoom in on this space down here this is the slightly different one um if you establish a trading post a tr if you're if you do a trade route between colon and warburg then instead of establishing a trading post if you use the disk and only if you use the disk can you put the disk on these spaces here and this will get you points at the end of the game the thing with this space is you must have the appropriate privilege to place a disk on a space so white then orange then pink than black but you don't need to do them in order so if i've already developed my privilege level to pink and nobody else was in here i could actually claim that space there and this is end game points uh as well not not in game points right okay let's zoom out so that's the different yellow areas and as i say increasing your abilities of your player board is a really important part of the game if you don't do it then you will find that you won't do very well and what will actually happen is that you will actually run out of cubes and disks because every time you establish a trading post that is a cube gone onto the board and you will suddenly find that your flow of new stuff coming in is actually less so you d definitely do need to upgrade your abilities at some point right now i've skipped over the most important part of the game and what makes this game great and that is the middle action on your player board which is to kick other people out okay so we've explained how the game works if you were just playing it on your own but this action here is what makes the game really interactive so with this action you can kick out somebody else from one of the roots and here's how it works let's say stella you've got two cubes on there and let's say you've done with your turn on my turn i i know that you want to do this because you you've clearly started this route and you're clearly wanting to finish that route so on my go what i might do is i'm going to go i'm just going to go there thank you very much right because one of the things with this game is you want to block other people's roots because when they kick you out you get a bonus and that's the weird thing that took me a few games of this to get used to is it's a good thing to be kicked out so here's here's what happens stella you've decided to put those cute two cubes there i've decided on my turn to put that cube there so on your next turn you decide to kick me out now here's how the kicking out works to kick out a cube you must spend one tradesman so let's say you decide to spend the cube that goes into the general supply so it costs you one and then you kick me out okay but and here's here's the bonus i take this cube and an extra cube from the general supply so i've gained a free cube and i now immediately place them on a route adjacent to this one so i could say okay well i'm going to put these two i'm going to put one there and maybe one here okay or i could put two of them there or i could put two of them here anything which is adjacent to where i got kicked out from is where i can place them so what's actually happened is on my turn i put one cube down but by the time it gets round to me again look i've effectively gained a cube and that's the trick in this game is you want to directly block people because then it costs them to kick you out but also you get a benefit when you are kicked out and that's how that works now if if i'd have been even more evil and actually gone on there with a disc a disc to kick a disc out which is a merchant it would cost you two so you would have to spend one to kick me out and then another two into the general supply in order to kick me out there and then what i would do is i would get this and two things and i would get to put three things on the board okay so the discs are really powerful um yeah they're very expensive to kick out any questions about kicking out did you actually remove the disc and then put it back in your supply your supply or general supply uh the what the one that you spend for kicking me out or the one that you kicked out you wonder the one that you kicked out so what happens is if i had that there you would kick it out i would take this and then two others from the general supply and then i would put these on the board okay if the general supply is empty and i don't have any i can take them from the personal supply and if i don't have any my personal supply i think i can take them from somewhere else on the board i will do i will double check that but i think that's right because i read that this morning it just cost me three cubes but it cost you a lot of cubes to kick me out yeah so one two three four what's yours and what you're taking from your general supply um can that be cubes or disks yes okay okay oh yeah that's that's as well that's even more powerful if i had a disc here and i was kicked out i could actually yeah i could i could take a disc so two discs if there were two discs there yeah two discs yeah and you need to put it straight away as well you need to place it immediately yeah and immediately and adjacent and adjacent and in the rare situation and i say rare it happened three times yesterday that all of the adjacent routes are full then what you do is you go to the next adjacent route so you go two away and it's right and it should be on the same route not separate groups now they can be split between wherever you want as long as they're all a chase yeah yeah okay right final thing i think to explain is the bonus markers so at the start of the game we have these gold bonus markers these are shuffled and for those people who know the original game if you are watching this video there is a slight change to one of these so these get shuffled and at the start of the game they get placed on the taverns so we're going to put one there we're going to put one there and we're going to put one here okay now i will zoom in so that you can see because tarrant and stella are creating the board at their end with their copy so we have that one on the route between uh osnabruck and bremen there we go we have uh that one on the route between hildesheim and gosselaar and we have that one on the route between loonberg and perderberg so these bonus markers whenever you have a route which you then claim and there is a bonus marker on that route you simply get the bonus marker it is literally a bonus you don't have to do anything else for it you still get to do the other thing but if there was a bonus marker there you get that bonus marker now the bonus markers they're useful for two things first of all there is a special ability printed on them you may use that bonus marker not on the same action as when you took it but on any future action even in the same turn and when you use it you flip it face down so there is a special one-time use only and then you flip it face down at the end of the game you will gain extra points based on how many of these bonus markers you've got whether they are face or poor face down so there is no no advantage to keeping them face up all of the bonus markers do different things uh this one that i've just taken here this one is useful when you are placing a trading post in a city as long as there is already a trading post in that city if you decide to establish a trading post there you may put it to the left of the existing one okay so you you basically built an extension um and yeah now obviously because the tie break is done in order from right to left that wouldn't win you control of this city but if you already had one there you've now got two cubes in there whereas i've only got one so that's what that one does um that goes there this one so you can use this one on your turn to swap around let me just zoom in a bit there we go you can use this one to swap around two things within a city so let's say i was in there uh no that's not a good example um yeah let's go back to let's go back to here and let's say that was the situation okay i could use this disc i could i could use this bonus marker to swap these two over which means suddenly i've now got control of this city now when you use this marker you can ignore the colours and the shapes so in other words a disc can go onto a square and a square could go onto a disc but only when using this marker uh where was that that was there and the final one to explain is this one and this is the one that's changed in this version of the game because this was crazy powerful in the original game and when you use this bonus marker you may remove three pieces owned by other players and then put them back on the board somewhere else in the original rules it used to just be remove three pieces from other players gone whereas now you pick them up and you move them and it doesn't have to be from one player so it's three pieces in total which you can take from other players pick them up from wherever and put them down wherever you want so that's what that one from road yeah only from robes yes you can't you can't move trading posts around now i did mention earlier on as soon as you take a bonus marker you then immediately take one of these face down now i have shuffled these but i'm going to shuffle them again on camera there we go you immediately take one of these but you don't look at it what you're supposed to do is you're supposed to put it on the silver plate there and that is a reminder that at the end of your turn you must then put that bonus marker somewhere on the board and where it goes it must go on an empty route so you only put it on at the end of your turn and it has to go onto a route that currently doesn't have any markers on it and remember when you need to take a bonus marker and they've all gone that triggers the end of the game right is there anything i forgot yes there is i said i was going to explain this ability because this is the uh this is the ability that is the key track and what that does is it removes cubes from this bit here okay now this has absolutely no impact on you during the game apart from to give you extra cubes but what it does give you is end game points so at the end of the game each player will count their biggest network of cities and the network is any city in which you have a trading post whether you are in control of that city or not if you have a thing in a city so let's say i've got that my network is one two three four five six because they're all connected if this one was over here my network would only be four it would be one two three four this one would not be connected to the network and this one would not be connected to network so you count up the size of your network and then you multiply it by your key value okay and you increase your key value down there okay so what you're doing is you're increasing your end game multiplier by using that city there so that's how that works and there is one other thing and again you spotted this yesterday because you've got the original version of the game and you said paul your board is different there's now a big red banner here with 742 so you'll notice these two cities here are have got a red banner immediately when you manage to establish a see a route of trading post between arnhem and stendel the first player to do that will gain seven points and that is immediate points so basically yeah a complete root and the shortest one is that arnhem munster minden brunswick and stendel but you could go a weird way round as long as you have a connected route between those two cities you will score those points immediately and i think that might be everything cool let's do this we've got any questions before we make a start and so all the end game points are your key track two points per city you control points from kerlin and points for the bonus markers i i did i did briefly mention but it's explained on it's in it's in my rule book on page seven but if you have one bonus marker it's one point two or three bonus markers it's three points four or five bonus markers it's six six or seven is ten eight or nine is fifteen and if you have ten or more bonus markers it's twenty one points at the end of the game so yeah where is this bonus against one here it is okay points from the track oh yes another thing all of your abilities on your player board if you fully develop ability and ability on your player board it's worth four points that is actually printed on your player board with a little number four so that means if you fully developed it each one that you've fully developed is worth four points so yeah four points for that accept the keys except the keys because the keys are in multiplier yeah uh points for cities uh points for down here and then points for your network yeah now i will give you a quick uh idea the winning score yesterday i think was about 55. okay the other two were down here in the 30s but tom played really well yesterday and scored 55. so that's just to give you an idea of the scores right well if we're ready to start i will go first uh i get two actions and i am going to use those two actions to go there and there and that is my go done okay um [Music] so with three action no i have two actions you still only have two actions as well yeah all right so i feel like all things there i forgot i don't know because you told me the good thing to do you've already done it yeah there's one space left oh you can be uh you know you'd like that one i did just put it there so you get kicked out yeah yeah it's a good thing um now taran you've moved over on the camera do you want me to move you there you go we can move these screens zooming in closely on the screen there you go all right yes i'll put one on the last space with queen getting in and cleveland and i will put one on what's the guy in start again is he up here this is your privilege this allows you to place cubes onto different colored spaces i want the bag one i'll put one between lubeck and hamburg between lubeck and hamburg okay right stella europe tara i'm just putting it um you should put it as hugo yeah i know where you are all right so i've got two actions as well obviously you do yeah and i i like uh i had an idea here where is this one sorry a quick question to tear it uh that's up in here okay so that's been taken i'm gonna do that i'm gonna put one between a chronic top left yep a cube or a disc uh a cute place oh it's that one is actually a this isn't it if you wanted to establish a trading post in emdun that would be a disc yeah yeah but if i want to unlock the if you want all of the ability it can be anything yeah it doesn't matter it doesn't matter okay yeah so i cube there and i will put one more cube next to it okay let's see what happens yeah yeah good move right so on my go i am going to kick you out as expected so that costs me a cube to kick you out that one gets kicked out and you get an extra one from the supply which you me immediately must now place and you only have two choices you either go between quedlinberg and gosselaar or between quedlinberg and haley okay i will go uh okay both of them yeah uh yes okay so that was my first action my second action is i am going to remove these and instead of instead of establishing a trading post i think i am going to establish a trading post oh this is tricky no i am going to take the extra action so i'm going to remove these three these go back to the general supply and i am going to unlock this cube here which means i now get a third action this turn so i'm going to use that third action and we're going to go on there again no in fact no we're going to go here [Laughter] yeah you want to get kicked out in this game right taranti's your go okay i will with my two your face looks pixelated who's mine or a tara oops yes that is creepy like a doctor who special effect well all right i oh sorry we forgot to take these cubes off this is the right paul is that the um it's looking fine for mayan i'm gonna okay that's good i'm gonna put a cube on would you like some special effects as well again maybe i shouldn't [Laughter] i will put a cube on gerting into kwetlenburg and i will put a cube on lubeck to hamburg yeah okay okay that's my go it is your goal yeah yep i'll put uh one so terran if uh taran's cube at the moment at the top so he can um get that bonus on the top right which was what was that is the bag which is getting things more quickly i'll put one cube between an extra terran between hamburg and lube yeah uh i forgot the pulse cube is in there and i will put one more at what i'm gonna do so this is like we keep doing um the action on the on the second action on the player board i can move things around but i'm not going to do that i'm going to [Music] put ah i really it's like paul has got that much and if i don't kick him out i don't get to use the extraction okay fine i'll kick pull out so i use two so you just keep warm this cut spin one yeah and then kick pull out and i get another cube i have no choice because it has to go here yeah okay right my go so two actions um okay so my first action is i'm going to put a cube here sorry three actions i put a cube there my second action is to take new things and i get three of them and then my third action is to put another cube there okay i'm done okay um my first action i'll seal the root up into back then so my first action i spin the cube and kick stellar from the cube killer out so stella gets this cube and another one and they can either go between hamburg and stard hamburg and bremen or hamburg and lunenburg and they can go on separate routes and that top banner was privileged which is the color of the all right so i do do hamburg and state yep stay two of them okay yes thank you so that was your first action taran yep and then my second one will be to unlock the bag okay so you remove those three and instead of establish a trading post you remove the cube from the back there you go yes okay right am i going yeah you go uh i would like to unlock the top top left banner so remove all my threads you take a disk from the book you've got two discs now and the second one is to place a cube between state and hamburg there you go nice okay back to me i have three actions i am gonna go uh one put a cube between groningen and emden two i'm going to put a cube between lubeck and hamburg and or actually i'm going to make that a disc so between hamburg and lubig he's going to be a disc and the cube is actually going to go um between loonberg and perlaburg we are probably butchering these pronunciations so apologies sorry i'm doing my best all right um two actions i will let's see i shall place a disc up in between groningen and endin yep and i'm going to gain five cubes from mine so one two three four five okay all right i will unlock the privileged ability so take all my cue put it away and you get this cube so you can now build on orange spaces i do indeed and i will put one cube oh the place that i want is pretty much occupied here and i'll put one in the between lubeck and handbag cube or disc uh how cute please okay there you go oh hang on oh i missed that sorry i missed one swim is one of your sorry let me just have a look okay uh we forgot to put your thing anything else that we forgot to put paul's i think that's it uh we've missed the one in luna burke all right great that's really hard to kick paul's stuff that's why i put the disc there i know i understand the consequences of me not going there first if i put my disk there that means i would probably lock my disk out yeah that's what i was worried about but i'll put my disc there one day's there with this right okay so might the first thing i'm going to do i've got three actions the first thing i'm going to do is take three cubes the second action i'm going to do is to kick out tarrant here so that costs me a cube tarant you get that one and that one where would you like to go um i shall go between cleveland work and yeah okay and my third action is i'm actually going to do this but this time i'm going to establish a trading post so rather than increasing my ability i'm going to establish a trading post in gottingen there we go is my three actions done okay so i will establish a trading post in goslight yep okay so that goes there now that is one completed city which i shall control forever yes well well yes no you will unless you get two things that go to the left yeah yeah okay and then second action i shall i'll go back on going into quitting but yeah okay oh you really want to go there like that don't you all right i will add my disc in between gottingen and cool the power of having two discs yeah and the next one is i will put one um you know what i'll probably i'll probably take no i'll probably put i'll put one this at the top between hamburg and lubeck uh you've only got cubes right sorry that's fine okay okay back to me i've got three actions the first action i'm gonna do is i'm gonna take three cubes my first action my second action is to put a cube between groningen and emden and my third action is to put a cube between gotten gun and credlinburg wow what's going on so we're playing this game with three players can you imagine what he's like with five wow yeah it does use the other side of the board this is the three player side of the board um the other side of the board is for four and five players but yeah it's a lot tighter okay i have two actions i'm going to fill the two spots between pellerberg and lunavec uh lugerberg and lundberg yeah okay so my my action i'm gonna first i'm gonna take three cubes you get three cubes from from supply and the second action i'm gonna get another three cube from this one okay yeah right okay so i have three actions wow hmm there's a lot of kicking out needed here [Laughter] it's just like one once you started everyone oh yeah yeah that's the power of kicking yeah who started that i wonder i yeah wow okay i'm gonna delay so i'm gonna first take three cubes no no no hang on because if you get kicked out you actually want to have cubes in your general supply oh you're so confident you're gonna get kicked out what happened if you don't gonna i i think i'm gonna get kicked out which means if i empty my general supply of cubes that's inefficient so i think what i'm going to do is i'm going to spend my three actions and i'm just going to go one two to complete the route between md and older's broke and then my third action is to actually establish a trading post in northern brook nice nice yeah okay done okay me i will kick you out of universe you're right yeah see i thought you might so yeah you spend one to kick me out i get that one plus that one and they're gonna go [Music] they're gonna go on the road to hanover okay how's your first action okay and then i will establish a trading post in poland so those three come off you get that and you get the bonus marker get the bonus and we put it on your silver plate and then at the end of your turn which is now which is now we get to reveal this and it is the one that allows you to swap two things around within a city you now choose where that goes so it has to go on an empty route any empty any tavern or any empty route anywhere yeah where are the fruits so beside the one that you just took um all right i'll put it on i'll go but i'm not sure the strategy on this one will go between bremen and hamburg okay uh so this marker can be used on any future action of yours but not yeah not now because you got it in your last action of that turn right stella with all of the cubes oh yeah i'm gonna do like all the good stuff has been taken away i think what you want to do is you want to kick me out of here that's what you want to do um i have two actions so nice try i will try to go um put um one cube between osna brick and bremen two two of them actually two of them yeah two two of them that's it okay back to you um first action take three cubes second action put a cube there third action put a cube there done oh you guys blocking the extra action all right we're all blocking it i know i know my eyes like you guys first actions take five cubes yeah that's nice isn't it five there you go and second action is to uh put one cube between osnabruck and bretman okay uh you can't i'm afraid it's full yeah i sneaked in there we missed a turn um i will put it between this is the challenge of working off two boards sorry yes um your face is not disappearing um i'll go between start and handbook start in hamburg okay yeah and okay i'll kick you out your disc ball at the top here so that cost you two yep yep and i get that disc and two more yes which i am going to put from hamburg to bremen i had to do it and the second one is i remove the uh what do you call it that thing yep upgrade my bag yeah okay so those all come off and go back into the general supply and you get another cube from your bag so there we go right my go i have three actions and i have loads of stuff on the board this is where the moving things around might be useful um yeah because i'm desperately running short on cubes and stuff because you keep blocking people maybe maybe um okay now the first action is i am going to establish a trading post in hanover that's my first action yeah i think i'm going to have to um so yeah my second action is to move i only get to move two things around but i'm going to move this one and i'm going to move so i've moved the one from groningen to emdon and i'm also moving the one from osnabruck to bremen in the hope that taran goes on there and i'm moving those two hey in fact no no i'm not going to move them put them back put them back no i think i've actually got this okay my second action this is my second action isn't it i've lost track i think yeah your first one was the hanover trading place yeah my first one was to establish the trading post in hanover my second one is to gonna put a cube between bremen and hamburg and then my third action is to establish a trading post in hamburg that gets these back and i get this disc okay i think that's right don't think we missed anything okay i'm now going to place this on the board and i'm going to place it so it's going to go on an empty route and i'm going to place it between hanover and luneburg right this this bonus marker is four extra actions did you forget to put terence um bonus marker where is it is it meant to be in this one it was yeah that's the one it was between but i've i've just taken it got it yeah okay so yeah there is a new bonus marker between hanover and loonberg and it is the one that gives four extra actions and that is it for my go um okay that's came off um all right i have two actions i will i think the time is now to do it because i just want the extra actions so i'm going to use my bonus marker to move the two of you off the gerting into quentinburg route and put you somewhere useless so the disk sellers disk can go between dysberg and arnheim yep and paul's cube can go between um what's a useless place to put it okay between dortmund and carderborn yep and i can move one you can move one more yeah there's three movements so i'll move one of your cubes off grinding into envy yep yep balls and put it between lunaberg and pellerberg just where i wanted it perfect thank you all right and then sure and then i'll do a move action to move my other two pieces on the board onto the girding and craiglenburg route so that's the disc and the cube and then i will get my extra okay so you then as your second action you remove them to gain that cube which means you now get a third action and because you as you get i get a point because you did something there and i own that city we have our first point scored in the game good very good all right and i do now have a third induction yeah so straight away um i'm gonna go over back between honing and and m with the cube of course yeah okay right right i'll put my two somebody's gonna jump on it but that's okay i'm sure i'm gonna put two cubes between gothican and quinn yeah thought you might okay so my first one wait a minute so instead of doing that instead of moving instead of placing cubes i got to move cubes from the top to the bottom right i can move my cube from ocean brook uh between othna brook and bremen two of them for one actually you could move three in one action three things yeah yeah so i'll do that so i'll move from uh the one that taran just moved away the disc the problem yeah sorry for one action and then the second action is to remove them and then get the extra action another point uh thank you and then i will put one uh do one more action that's that's that's pretty good i feel pretty happy about that i put one more cube on i'm gonna do is looking at what i've got i forgot about the extra action so i haven't actually thought about what i really want to do i'm gonna put one in between state and hamburg good move which is good for yeah right so i've got three actions first action is to take two cubes and a disk my second action is to put a disc on the road between gottingen and quedlingberg and my third action is to put a cube between groningen and emden yeah okay done throughout okay i will put a cube between stead and hamburg one between hamburg and lubeck and actually sorry my first action will be to get four cubes and a disc yep and then i will um i'll put the disc but so then a queue between stat and hamburg and a disc between hamburg and nice yeah okay all right my first action is to take five things which is two discs and three two this and three cubes strong uh that's one so actually one of three the second action is to put what i'm gonna do here how can how am i gonna be able to stuff somebody else of course not and maybe i should do it there okay action two and three is to put um a dissonant and decent cube between uh gothic them and quintenberg nice okay oh this is good for you as well because now you get points and points okay i think my first action is going to be to move that one yeah oh but that doesn't work right so here's something that we haven't actually discussed yet i am not allowed to establish a trading post between these two cities right now i'm not allowed to because you're exactly right you can't just do it if you're not able to to use it so you can always do one on the yellow cities right because you can always exactly yeah well until you've fully unlocked it yeah wows yes okay so hmm you need to kick me and turn out up there well yeah i'm i'm cube short at the moment i've not been upgrading my player board as much as i potentially could have done so yeah and i'm even looking over here and i can't establish a trading post here either so it's it's a tricky one i can see what's going on there this is a room is it uh in a couple of weeks uh it's yeah it's in seven days time from now from the time of recording this video it's seven days from now so right here's what we're going to do this is not efficient but first action is i'm going to take two cubes second action i am going to kick out tarrant between groningen and emdon so you get that one plus that one i've got i've got one cube to make for pennies yeah and they have to go there between and ozna brook and then my third action is i am going to then build this route and i am going to take a disk off my book so i have upgraded my book ability okay that's me done yeah i think that was the best move um then i shall move my two cubes from the end and root back to the running in the route so first action is that yep second one is to fill up that root with a cube yep and then third action is to complete it and improve your book i'm actually going to do the tr i'm going to do the trading you're going to take control of the running unit which is an immediate one-point bonus because of the one that's printed on there so did taran get the cube back where is his is that supplied general supply oh he's sorry yeah so technically what should have happened is if you establish a trading post one of those cubes becomes the trading post and the other's going oh sorry yes you're right they should have gone there yeah yeah thank you well spotted that's all good okay that's me okay so taran has got two so if i kick him out you still have something that he can use there and paul has got a kind of like plenty but i'm proud i might just want to do that just because it gives me the benefit so i'm going to kick your disc out between gothic and then quentin back with three cubes so you spend two cubes to put to kick me out i get that plus two others which i'm going to put here nice okay so is your first action and then i will yeah the second action is completing that getting that extra action you're on the extra action because you could establish your trading host in quedlenberg instead i'm not saying you should i'm just letting you know you could because you have a disc and you have unlocked the orange ability i know okay that's fine just at this i don't know at this stage i don't know which one is better whether to keep engine build or stop and then starting to get you know i know that i have not established anything yet in there um and that gives me one point isn't it well i get a point for you doing that yep uh yeah i mean the extra action wouldn't actually be an extra action it would be an extra cube oh actually this space is still three actions yes let me just put this in the equivalent okay there you go so you now control credlin yeah do i have three or two two isn't it yep cubes okay two cubes and two is that three actions is that was it three actions do you remember so one to kick pull out one to kick out one to build also i have one more right right and instead one more i will go to this between sorry excuse me a disc between gottingen and gwyndolin back please there you go thank you do you get it do you get a point for building a trading route where you have a yes yep where is your portion yes okay so right now whenever this route gets completed both me and stella are going to score one point and if i had both of them i would get two points right okay so let's look at the situation that's going on here okay so i need to be there and i need to be there and i also need to be there hmm you need to be on multiple spaces okay so my first action is i am going to put a cube between quiddlinburg and holly so that was my first action my second action is to complete this which scores stellar one point and i'm going to unlock my key ability so my network is now worth two points per city in that that's my second action and my third action is i am going to put a disk up between stard and hamburg where is that the way up here this one okay okay i'm done okay um i see an easy route to lube x so i'm just going to put two cubes and then two cubes and completed that so i get a point because i'm in hamburg and i'm going to unlock another another bag ability nice well i'll go to uh i use my two cubes to go to between gottingen and cornbread that's true and then my third action is to build up to unlock extra action ability which only gives me yeah but we both get a point yes i'll just leave the point to pull the track okay right so my first action is to take stuff i get two cubes and a disc um my second action is to put a disc between hamburg and lubeck and my third action is to put a cube between hamburg and lubeck do i miss anything i need a bigger bag okay um in that case i will put a cube between lubeck and humber of course you would then i will put two cubes between renningen and emden yep me i will take five so four cubes in one fourth in a disc yeah yeah that's one and the second third i will put disc on a decent cube between got him and going on that's it okay so yeah i think my first action is definitely to keep taran out from lubeck so that puts the cube there and cost me a cube so you get that one plus this one and they can either go between hamburg and bremen or hamburg and lunenburg okay i shall go between uh hamburg and brett oh yeah hamburger how am i gonna luna big both of them yes okay that's my first action my second action is spend them i get a point because i control hamburg and i'm going to increase my bag ability and then my third action will be to put one back there done okay okay i shall ah what do i what did i miss i think it was that one yeah so yeah i've got a cube back between hamburg and lubeck now yep i think it's a point that you missed okay um all right i'll put one i'll do one to complete the groningen roof yeah um i will score that one so you get a point for having control of grueling good yep and i'll take a disc take a disc from your book yep and then i shall put that disc on the um i'll put that disc on lubeck to handbook i thought you might put it down there okay okay so i'll put a cube between gottingen and quiddleman um i think you you gave me my cubes back to the wrong place again did i oh it's because that's there so thank you three cubes i do that all the time as well over here and then the second action is to unlock my board for the next action okay so we both get a point yep thank you you now have four actually that was your second action and you have two actions left yeah and then i will put uh [Music] so i have two actions left did you say yeah do i want to just like keep going there the one i just like kind of like going somewhere else i feel like i should probably go somewhere else i'm gonna put two between quarterback and hell cute thank you yeah okay right so i have three actions my first action is to take five things which is four cubes and a disk that's my first i have two actions left i am going to put a cube between quedlinberg and halle and another cube between um hamburger and loot back okay done oh this is 10 minutes i know oh did you put it there tara no no i did not all right i am going to take seven things which is all my things uh it is all of the things so it's safe to kick out parent now is that what it means yeah well no yeah him he can take him from here he's just not getting a that much of a benefit then they can just slice his thingy yeah okay and then um i'll put one on lunaberg to hamburg square and i'll put it's a good down there is it where else can i go yeah i'll put a disc on harley to quit lumber that's your turn yeah yeah okay so my goal is i will do the move action so i can move three things so i'll move i move all my cubes on the board take all of them three and put all between cotton and cuddle bags first action yep second action is for me to build a city on the golden bag so you do this we both get a point but then that goes there yeah okay two actions left i'll take uh one this and four cube from my supply yeah and i will place this where am i gonna do it i'm going to place this at the top between growing them sorry groningen and yeah disc or a cube let's put this yeah if you know what you're doing with that i don't know okay so um interesting yeah very interesting i thought you were going to do something different down there so that's yeah okay so at hell at hell yeah i i don't know yeah i don't know to be honest i don't know yet no i don't know what's going on yet there's so many things i want to do i know but i've got to do this first now now that you've moved out of there i think i have to use i have to do this so it's good for turret i am going to spend my first action to put a cube there i am going to spend my second action oh wow yeah second action is i'm going to kick tarrant out of here with a disc so taran you get that cube plus one from your personal support but that cost me a cube yeah now these one one can go on this space here between hamburg and lunenburg if you want it to uh no because i wouldn't be able to fulfill the other one at the moment i'll put i shall put them both between bremen and yeah okay okay um so that was my second action i think is that my second uh yeah i can't remember what i did for me first but that was my second and my third is to do something with this route so i get a point because of that now privilege or claiming stard oh it's not an obvious choice at this stage in the game i'm gonna claim there so that's a point okay that's me done no it's not me done no i am going to flip over i'm going to flip over my bonus marker to switch around the position of the markers in gottingen so it's here did you move it back under my controller i i have i have dismantled my trading post and rebuilt it nearer the gate with a big sign saying come shop at paul's house which one is it sorry what was that that was the one you already had yeah which is this one here it was i got this one okay it's the same one but yeah okay with my three actions hmm i feel like this is moving quickly so what i it's really interesting because we haven't really gone for the bonus mark as much in this game and i keep looking at them but because because none of us are going for the bonus markers it means we're all doing other stuff so every time it gets to my turn i look at the bonus markers and think oh but but i've got to do that instead and i think we're all kind of in this cycle where we're not we're not looking at the bonus markers whereas the bonus markers are normally really powerful so yeah actually looking at that plus four i know it's reminding me that i want that plus four actions one damn i wanted to go there i'm gonna i'll spend my first action to move my harley to quedlenberg this yeah and my two handbooked bremen cubes onto the luna berg to hanover there you go so that's the first action the second one will be to fill in the lunaberg so i get a point because of my hanover trading post those come off yep that is another city completed and you get this bonus marker now that was your second action wasn't it so you can now use that if you wanted to right now at the start of your third action hmm what you gonna do taren oh and you get a new one which we'll place at the end of your turn i wonder if now is tactically the right time to use it no idea just decide yeah you've still got one action left potentially another five actions yeah yeah let's see okay so you got rebels so five more five more options third one i'm going to i'll move all three of those hamburg to loop lunaberg cubes onto the stad to hamburg route oh nice that's your first of five actions yep yep so then bonus action one is to fulfill that to increase money gets me two points this is going to be a quick game i think i know look at that so i've got three options left how much do i have on the board one all right and then i'll put one on how there to quendlenburg okay suspended action to put one there i just realized no actually i'm going to put i'm going to put three cubes over on curl and that's about oh okay yeah nice now remember if you do want to claim this bonus it has to be a disc yeah okay right stella oh no we get to place this bonus marker all right so it is right now this bonus marker when you use it allows you to basically remove either a cube or a disk from your player board so where is this going to go um this can go between goslaw and oh that's between your faces disappear in mine hey yeah um can it be a route that has another bonus no i don't believe so it's got to be completely empty oh that's not empty all right we'll go between arnheim and minster okay right stella my go so those two route on top yeah put three of them for two actions the third action to remove that and put my dis on the right oh sorry no if they would take a disc so green gets a point don't want to take this sorry do you want to take a test or do you want to put a thing okay i want to take this out sorry okay you've increased your book value yeah yeah so it's one two three got one action left yep two one two three yeah one more this is like how do i actually kick some somebody out of the city is that possible even possible um the only ways of seizing control of the cities by by putting more things in there or by using the thing that swaps them around or by using the bonus marker that allows you to place a cube to the left of the current trading posts okay so that's the only one that is where is it is there which has got pull ball stuff in it this guy yeah he's been asleep there for a few years now so he just decided to have a lie down by the road and nobody's woken him up so you know he's got a little caravan he's all right yeah yeah i'm gonna get five cubes uh four cubes and one disc four cubes and a disc yep please there you go right my go three actions well first action is i'm going to take five things which is all of these uh second action is going to be to spend two of those cubes to kick taran out of hamburg to lubeck which means you get that disc and two things where would you like to place these let's go on oh crafty if i put them on stat to hamburg then now i'll do that i'll put them on stat to home so that was my second action and my third action complete this route which gets me a point for hamburg and i am going to establish a trading post in lubeck which is an extra point so it puts me on 15. right that's my go done nice okay um bye sorry i'll i'll do it uh yeah okay yeah all right i shall one two three yeah uh that leaves me once i'm not going to have enough time to do what i need to do that is inefficient all right no that's that's not inefficient that's good all right my first one is going to be to move all three of the ones that are on start to hamburger oh right okay the the disc goes down to the carolina warburg track yeah and the two cubes are going to go on the hamburg lubeck track and then my second one will be to score the curling track and put my disc on the eight point guy yeah nice yeah nice and then my third one will be to fill up the lubeck hamburg track with another cube nicely done okay all right stella i will put my three cubes between all snap brick and bremen kicking you apple uh so one one two and then three yep three actions so i get that cube plus this cube and they're gonna go they're gonna go here that's a that's a pain and then my third action is to establish uh establish a route on the osnerberg and taking that thing which you can so i get a point but now you've got control of us in the brook and you've got this bonus action marker at what point can i use it can i use it now or later uh have you finished with all of your actions for this turn oh no sorry um here's the question you have one more yes did you place you placed three oh sorry one two three four yeah sorry yes i finished so i can use this is this just i forgot the selection can i only use that when you're placing a city yeah on a different action okay all right so you can't use it on the action that you've just claimed to get it so got it so then we put a new one out we do and where would you like to put this this is exactly the same type of token can you please grab is it this one all right uh let me put it like put it up there between i don't know no i'm not going to do that i want to put it between hannover and lundberg i don't know i don't have any particular reason to be honest okay okay right well i'm sad you took that token because i needed that exact token but thankfully you've just pulled another one which is the same so that actually works for me so my first action is going to be to move i get to move three things which is going to be one two three to here i know what have i done oh no i can't i can't do that why not because i can't actually claim that route let's put them back that's right right oh rats very polite rats indeed well gosh did i just accidentally no i'm not i'm i'm thinking about it i i had a plan um but i think the game is going to be over in a couple of turns anyway so my first action is i'm just going to put a cube on there my second action is i am going to claim that and my third action will be to put a disk where am i going to put the disc um yeah wow i will put the disc down here between quedlinberg and howler okay done tarant three actions three actions so i shall start by completing the hamburg to the background that gets me two points putting me on 18. now that empties my bag track do i get four now no four is at the end of the game okay um so that's one and then i've got two more actions um to up between reading in and then paul you're gonna put something there maybe last one all right i am going to put three cubes for three action between state and handbrake at the top there one two three yeah and then i will going to [Music] take it to actually remove my privilege does that end the game is that the last turn yep what oh why because i will get two points gosh uh either way just act surprised again and you can edit that [Laughter] oh my god because it does say end of the game when anyone has scored 20 or more prestige points on the prestige point track and it doesn't have to be that player's turn and he ends immediately any remaining actions are lost immediately yeah he meet literally immediately no i'm not gonna do that then sorry okay give me one more chance to do something are you still putting the cubes up there or not no i'm going to put two cubes for two actions between gosling and metal bag um where's that you you won't be able to finish that without a disc yeah so between kozlow and quedlingberg yeah one two ah sorry uh no madden beck and gosla sorry okay middle one two yeah yeah for two actions oh it's a short route yeah yeah yes and the third action is to place a cube using my um only bonus token bonus token oh in gold's law yeah okay so your third action is to establish a trading post using your special bonus token yep okay make sense sir i'm not sure it does you don't have control of it but what it does is it increases your network your network is now three yeah whereas before it was only two it's an extra point yeah that's that's why okay and it's an extra point to me as well is it because i have the goslaw yeah yeah it's like karen was there like no so it's my goal is it oh sorry i have one more you've got one action left yeah one action left which i'm going to put a dis in hell um between hell and good yeah okay so i could potentially end the game now yeah uh based on the current point situation and what i'm seeing from the board i'm just concerned because terence got 12 points banked up in end of game scoring yeah i definitely do not have i think i'm okay because of the control of the cities that i've got yeah i think i'm okay so i think you're okay i think i don't know yet so my first action um yeah is there anything i can do to seize control of a city i don't think there is can i increase the size of my network no because of that not because of that and not because of that so yeah i think my first action is just going to be to move and i will just move that one and that one and that one and i think i'm just going to move it to here between arnhem and munster so it's my first action my second action is to claim this by putting that there which gets me this which i can now use you can say it wasn't worth points yep because this is so brutal i feel like i'm hardly have any points here uh i don't think i am going to use that actually i think i'm just going to take a third action and that third action is going to be oh man to take five things one two three four five okay done turned here um i shall i don't know very much out on the board do i oh you got two cubes between groningen and emden that's it yeah all right well i shall complete that route so one first action second action getting you a point second action give me a point and i'll take a disc yeah and then third action hmm sorry just counting a couple of things out getting out of my get out of my circle next to your circle just push taran's forehead behind as he got his calculator right is that what he's doing no it's all in his brain sure third action will be to go down there okay between goslaw and magdeburg with a disc or a cube with a with okay right stella four actions all right i put the rest of my two cubes in one disc in between quitlenberg and hell yeah with three actions and one action is to unlock one key yeah so that gets you a point and what would you like to do would you like to unlock a key yep unlock a key please okay so there you go there and you unlock a key which goes there right okay so three actions the game didn't end yet yet so i think this might work it might it might not yeah okay so one two three done i just put two discs in a uh sorry two cubes and a disc between groningen and emden and yeah that's me me okay i will spend one action to get all my cubes so yeah because you've unlocked your bag completely you get all of them yeah i think that's enough yep and then i shall where am i okay two and three i'll put them down between carolyn and robert down here yeah yes okay okay my my go first action i take two discs and three cues two discs and three cubes yep second action is to one two three the next three action is to put one this in two cubes between hilda's shame and gosling yeah is that four i think that's four that's four actions yeah yeah that's it okay so my first action is to finish this route between groningen and emdon which gets green a point and unlocks my book i then use my special bonus marker to unlock the other disc from the book and there was a minute and then two actions left oh i'm just gonna put uh yeah i think swat touching it out might not been a good thing i'm gonna put my remaining two discs down between colon and warburg there you go right tarrant okay um i shall spend my first action to move all three of my pieces on the board up to the running and end then route yep then my second one to complete that for one point and to get my last book open yep wow a lot of points and then my third one um to put a disc between carolyn and father yeah let's neutralize that so paul can do it on the left-hand side that's the only way okay so me first one is to complete my uh that uh so you establish a trading post there and you get this bonus marker yeah uh and i'm gonna do this bonus market straight away to swap my city and taran city that's free action right it doesn't cost me correct but i did i did did i get a point for oh yeah when it was completed i i gave you the point yeah cool cool uh that's i have three more and i have how many cubes do i have okay i will do okay so apologies for this i just wanted to check that it is something that i hadn't realized but it does say in the additional trading post you may not apply the exchange trading post bonus marker to any of these trading posts so it looks like the additional trading post the one that is created outside of the city cannot then be swapped what does that mean sorry so you build that one over to the left it means that can't be swapped oh yeah apologies for that i i hadn't thought about it until now um yeah you can still win there yeah i know all right i forgot can i use this thread away when i obtain it or is it the next you can't use it on the one new place okay i'll in that case paul i'll do it between got the coating and yeah left and right yeah exactly yeah yeah i think that's the only yeah yeah it gets you two points and takes two points off me yeah yep that's all right that's okay and i will so how many points is that that's just one isn't it one action to do that i think it's just one action yeah you've got three actions left yeah and is it one you grab one of the bonus tiles as well oh yes i have oh yeah that's that's right what is it we'll find out and then in fact are we missing a bonus title we are are we yes we're missing a bonus tile so at some point in the game and i will put this in the edit but there should always be three bonus markers on the board at the start of a round so i think i think probably i forgot to place one yeah i think i forgot to place one so shall i just put one i don't know where should we put it just whatever should we put it down here where nobody's really going sure or we'll put it on a four route we'll put it on a full route there we go yeah it's harder so the next action the second action is put the disc between the barrel guys the barrel guys yeah the third action is to take one distant four cubes and the last action is to actually just put a disc on where is it sorry that's there i'm gonna keep that in my hand to remind us yeah put a cube between holdings from and pattern born please uh where's that yep they're down hilltop yeah okay the other thing that i forgot to do as well is that the three cities that have been completed gotten gun gold's law started is there three or four luna burgers as well so there's actually four yeah okay where would you like to place this bonus marker which is four extra actions is that me yeah yes i'll just put it on my root please the one that i just placed ah has to be empty uh jeez let's put on the sorry just put there between minden and born uh there yeah right so i've been drugging things out and i don't know whether that was a wise move or not it's probably a wise move i don't know i i'm thinking of now just sort of saying let's maybe call it a day there so does that game does that mean game ends it it would end immediately yeah um [Music] i mean i do have three actions i can't get this in three actions yeah okay i think i think it might be time and because i think you two are getting further ahead now so i think that's the right call yeah so first action is i'm going to move i can move five things but i'm just going to move these three things up here so first action and then second action is i'm going to complete this route which gets me two points which triggers the end of the game and i'm just going to put that in there it doesn't really matter you can't you can't oh i can't yeah you're right i haven't got orange yet so i increase the privilege there you go thank you right end of the game has been triggered okay so time to add up the scores we base our scores on what we've got at the moment but then the next thing to add on is karen has got prestige points from developed ability so taran you have two fully developed abilities which is eight points uh stella you have no fully developed abilities i managed to get one so that's four points right next bonus markers collected we all have two bonus markers which is three points each one two three one two three one two three next special prestige points for kaloon which is eight for tarrant putting you on 27. nice then we have cities so cities in which you are in control of so tarrant you've got one two three four so eight points one two three uh stella you've got one two three four which is eight points i've got one two three four five six one two three four five six yeah six uh which is 12 points at 1 2 12. and then press these points for network so taran your network is one i'm pretty sure one i know i've got two i've got perla berg and luna books oh yeah so two multiplied by one is two points uh stellar your biggest network is one two three four multiplied by two so that's eight points still not enough to catch up and my network is i have a three up here i think that's it yeah i was trying to get i wanted that one to link all of these together so it's three multiplied by two is six points uh and that is it that is the final scores i know what i did wrong now well done it was your first game to be fair um uh yeah i mean i got i got a fairly good start by taking the actions and it was a tricky decision whether to put that one there or not and i think it it was good because then i cashed it on points every time you two got extra yes yeah that's that's actually really good it's a really good game it's nice quick turn in between players yeah most of the time um quick decision but then it's kind of like it it looks like but there's some strategy in it as well oh yeah when i when i had a refresher of the rules yesterday i was like this isn't actually that complicated but it the depth comes in the gameplay um and as we mentioned earlier on the original game was out in 2009 now one thing that's happened as you'll both know games that have been coming out in the last few years are less bloated and are a lot more streamlined and actions are usually very quick so instead of a player taking five to ten minutes return a lot of modern games now are like oh it's my turn i do this done your go and this game although it's 11 years old right now kind of has that your turns are actually you know relatively quick even if you're taking three or four actions on a turn those actions are usually very small so yeah the pace of the game is is quite nice yeah yeah i like all the different options like we could sort of yeah it was it was interactive i like that you had what are you doing yeah i like that you could um you know i could see the game was going to towards the end so i went and grabbed those points down at the bottom left um but you've got the um all those bonus tokens if you wanted to target them and they add a bit of flexibility to it and the interplay at the start feels really slow when we're all fighting for that extra action but there's lots of good things you can do around there oh yeah yeah yeah yeah there's there's so many different ways you can play and the thing is in the game yesterday we were getting five or six bonus tokens each right and the game ended because of the bonus tokens in this game we were nowhere near that also none of us none of us made this link the link is actually really hard to do but it's seven points if you manage to do it um and that's seven points in game so it can that can help to trigger trigger the end of the game as well yeah there's a lot of different ways to play and one thing i didn't mention at the start of the video is what's included in the big box version so we are playing the original game board here the side for three players the other side of this board is for four and five players but in the big box version of the game there are two additional maps included in the game there is a britannia map which again has two sides for one for three players one for four and five players there's another there's another map included as well which i think is the eastern hanseatic uh board and there's also some little mini expansions as well there's some mini uh the submission cards and there's some king's favorite cards so as yeah i mean i did mention at the start the big box version contains all of the stuff there's extra maps have you got the britannia map as well yeah we do have second hand i think we got a second hand it had a few things included in the main box like not certain exactly what bits but yeah we have some cards that list cities on them yeah yeah cool that is that we do have another map so and this is this is paul [Laughter] i personally don't feel that this game is dated there are some games from 10 or 15 years ago that i think now show their age i don't think this one does and personally i'm really happy that um pegasus has decided to you know re-release this game give it another new lease of life um because yeah it still feels quite fresh and the interaction for a euro game is really good yeah yeah i agree i would play it again definitely yeah yeah cool right well thank you to you two for joining me and giving up your friday evening to play the game i hope that was useful because you wanted to learn it anyway and now you have oh yeah yeah we yeah this is this is good because it's like playing games i mean yeah yeah friday evening which we would like to do now the one downside of this game is that there is no two player variant and in the original game there was a two player variant which is why your board says two to three here instead of just three however the two-player game got a lot of criticism for being not very good um so they have changed it in this version they have officially said it's just three to five and they haven't published the two player rules if you two want to try playing this two player i have played it once and i can understand the criticisms but it was it still worked as a game basically you have to control a third extra player between you and it's it's a bit more complicated but it does work it just wasn't that popular so they they've removed it from this edition but it is there there is a two player variant if you wanted to try it two player okay there you go and it's it's always good when you know there are some games that just don't scale down to two very well and um that's true some um automata and things like that makes it feel a little bit too less competitive less time yeah it's good when the game recognizes that yeah yeah cool right so yeah thank you very much to you too for joining me uh thank you to everybody for watching i hope you found this video useful if you have any questions about the game uh please put them in the comments and i'll be happy to answer them and this game is coming out from pegasus spiel i think in october of 2020 and thank you very much for watching see you all thank you thanks for having us [Music] gaming rules is proudly sponsored by
