King's Dilemma board game playthrough - A WHEAT ORGIE?

welcome travelers to the court of the king of liebe this is King's dilemma a storytelling board game for lots of people I haven't read the play account I will be joined by some deceptive nobles around my table to see what happens in this Kings Court and to face the challenges of the Kings dilemma hello well granted icebreaker we're gonna be playing King's loans today which is a very very ridiculously cool looking game that I've been excited about playing for a while Sahra has been playing it for a bit of a review which has been a it can be coming soon games or so but we have been playing it and my god we've done terrible things yes so it's a legacy game so we're gonna be playing what is essentially the demo which is what you play if you were to see an event or something like that and I'm joined by everyone in the dice America team apart from Johnny you can join us today so we've got on my left yeah so I'm my house is a house Blanc The Dukes of Seoul add it's blank because you can fill in the name they're not called house practice your house job I know but you you can make the house your own and they're basically like a load of rich drunk poets there's a load of blurb takes here they actually do the blurb is quite nice but I'm going to sum it up as they're rich they're drunk they like poetry float about on boats I think yeah yeah flaming about on boats and booze so I'm the house Java so I be fur and on your last we have of course Islands me and stuff right here at Duxbury calm and you will be playing as I am house me and Marquis of Dulac mess our crest is a hedgehog or maybe a porcupine we haven't figured it out we have been greatly wronged in the past by everyone particularly the king but we don't want him to know that because we're cowards fantastic yeah I think I'm just gonna be like looking for ways to blame other people I think we said with the Morsi of and I'm feeling quite unwell at the moment so yeah you're in a naturally motor state more so than usual yeah and on the other side of the table we have Alex ladies my fellow video producer and you will be playing as I am of house lolis marques of all Wed that's me and there's all again there's a whole big blurb is about the history and blah blah blah but I think the most important bit is written right down at the bottom and it says that we have a reputation of always choosing the easiest path and seeking shortcuts and since my family hardly takes into account all eventualities I never do anything to prepare or a territory for adversity I often ask for money from the central government to protect the kingdom from the imminent ledian invasion or other phantom menaces that never materialize Phantom Menace collecting trade that was worth the punch it looks like nipple piercings with some chain sorry you're going to be actually playing the house that you're playing as part of your play for at home as well house Elson I call them aura I've been calling them aura Boris which is a lot more sinister and my general playthrough we're The Dukes of Matar and we're effectively I suppose the religious state we're linked to the mother mother with sort of capital M who is the main religious icon around the entire world of an cursed therefore we actually have quite a lot of power we're quite fond of witch hunts quite fond of destroying forbidden knowledge ironically there's a dungeon nearby us full of forbidden knowledge and like ancient secrets which we've just blocked off because we're like no not interested in that let's just look piously toward the mother ah house catchphrases ignorance is bliss oh yes I'm that tells you we need to know about the dukes of Nassau some could say an extremist or house saying is life is to be enjoyed mine is nothing is as it appears yeah it's like a lot of like and - feel our sting well because you're a porcupine yeah we're very stinging I took Cindy No last but not least I am of course of house Whelan and I will be playing the Marquesas of cran we are drunk and we like killing people in the Royal we so I am actually bordering you ladies and we're right next to sit ladder as well and we both don't like yes a ladder or actually they seem like they're kind of being trampled by our horrible military might because we just keep raiding them and then pretending that oh no there's some horrible traitor tribes that are doing that that's not us everyone's kind of secretly aware of the fact that we're horrible bloodthirsty people but we don't really mind as a court because I'm keeping myself at bay and not only that we make fantastic wine known as the drunken skull but you may have all heard of and I'm usually there's about two bottles deep of it my catchphrases there is tranquility in all right so let's have a quick rules rundown Sarah how do we play King's dilemma so we're going to be playing a demo version of the game which is completely spoiler free so if you were to buy the actual full copy of the game none of this content would necessarily be featured within so just to clarify that to start with no spoilers no spoilers face boiler safe King celebra it's a legacy game which means that it's designed to be played over around 15 sessions so 15 of the game that we're about to do and it works out in two phases the first is a little bit like the choose-your-own-adventure really revealing so the game is split into two phases effectively in the first phase which is a little bit like a choose-your-own-adventure thing you draw a card you look at the card it usually has a terrible decision on it you know like do we let the people die of plague or perhaps something more simple like should we sell souvenirs of our like epic swords and it will have an i or 9 and some of them but not all of them will show you what the consequences of choosing I on I would be in quite an abstract way linked to the kingdom like what is it a kingdom tracker the Kingdom scale which has things such as like the economy food knowledge and these move up or down depending on what decisions you make the second phase is you read you read the card you see what the terrible decision is and then we all decide what are we going to do you can vote i which means yes no which means no and pass and gather power or pass and moderate which takes you out of the voting but gives you like more power in other ways which we'll explore as we sort of play through and as part of this voting thing that's are a great technical term they're part of this voting process essentially you can Bluff you can steal you can be really nasty about it you're not necessarily held to anything that you do and it's kind of where like part of the game I really enjoy which is the competitive nasty kind of bit comes in because ultimately you're all you're always going to be trying to get your thing through whether that ties into your secret agenda or whether it just fits in to how you want to roleplay it kind of you know the game doesn't force you either way just because you have a particular agenda it doesn't mean you always have to vote a particular way I think that's basically something like majority of it you'll pick up along the way as well but at the heart it's a storytelling game yeah nestled in yourself some hot cocoa let's hear about the suffering of rain choose the decision and thing slide up and down it's very um this disability Gorge here did remind me a lot of rains like banging on the sort of the PC because it is basically the same thing you know things change dependent on what you do but it's where it adds in the kind of bluffing element and the boating element that it comes out is its own kind of game for sure can you remind us how the game or a game will end what oh yeah so we have the stability tracker as well right so so this little tractor it might be a little bit more difficult to pick up on my camera cause we're not going straight top-down line but you'll see it right here at the bottom this is basically either gonna go towards you which is the the dark end and if we reach the the bottom end of the scale the king will die yes straight up Dungey had a heart attack when he sees what we've done then we are such an efficient council that the king will abdicate and say you know what good I've done it yeah but we're gonna go straight from the from the center whenever one of these moves up or down the stability track will move that same amount is funneled the other a good or a bad thing depending on your active right I think certain ones are trying to get you to kill the king or get the King to it will also affect what types a point you get at the end so if the King dies the person that wins is more likely to get crave which is sort of like its its power like prestige but it's kind of like the darker power whereas if they abdicate you're more likely to get the lighter type of proceed which is just straight our prestige both matter like prestige and crave they both count as from I understand toward the end game which is actually still quite mysterious to me because like it's an actual review actually win quite low all right well let's kick this thing off then without further ado would you like to start reading sorrow yeah I'm happy to cool although I do like your booming voice I know it let me start off okay so we basically we've got a stack of envelopes here which were going to open and we start with this card here yep okay let's set over the scene welcome to unkissed libra capital city of the kingdom of an kissed the people crowding the main square of the city erupted in a cheer of joy as the prior mother of the cult puts the crown on the head of our new King Harald the fourth blessed be his name tradition the solemn ceremony will be followed by a feast lasting for three days and nights along all the streets of the city and the many foreign dignitaries from neighboring countries will take advantage of this time to evaluate the new king and win his favor a week later sitting on his throne behind the grand chisel door of the council room the new king addresses us for the first time the time of celebration has come toward it then the fate of all is now ours to decide after a long pause he adds will we all be able to carry the burden of uh [Laughter] Philemon and then take one from the bottom alright okay so these will come in a random order and then we'll go through the envelopes we'll get new sets of cards to go through so the town of Percy Road has stopped contributing foodstuffs to the kingdom the local peasants stopped farming and fled to the woody hills nearby where they are consuming all their supplies in debauched orgies the Royal Marshal suggests that we send the army to help the local guards restore order do we send soldiers to force the peasants back to work i Ornette and then those are our things that we're gonna get so if we do I then we're gonna get less military but more food yeah you see that alex has put out the counters indicating what will happen turning on position we make so you can see here that if we vote if we vote to force the peasants back to work we get an increase in food presumably because they're toiling in the fields giving us more food but a decrease in goodwill funnily enough and if we vote no we get a decrease in military favor and what looks to be a negative sticker yeah okay so where are we going to choose ie nay or Pass and then when we choose one yes or no basically we have to assign some power to it yes and then the more power you assign if you sorry if you assign more power than any other single person you become believer you become a leader okay cool who goes first is it yourself the leader is whoever has the highest house number at this point that's you that's me right so do we send soldiers to force the peasants back to work well that's a strong guy from me with that de Bourgh torches bringing shame to the mother I vote yes bring them back in line with to power well I say highway the lads banter let's bring on the party I'm on the banter train to power on that I forward the bunt up so now before lolis puts down her vote is it is it the amount of power that's put behind me yes or no just the amount of yes or no so at the moment the noise have it the nays have it and I slowly puts in like a bunch of tokens running but the total amount of power you basically got for 494 a so night nay would win however because none of you Oh actually no we're tied but no one no one put higher than me so I'm actually still leader and technically and that that but it was may would still win okay so you need to put down three power well life is to be enjoyed the Mays habit I'm gonna pass and be moderator all right yeah one but there's is there otai is there any point there is there is there isn't a tie it's not tight you guys are winning yeah so you could just gain power by passing yeah well you choose either to inaudible be moderator ok right so no one put down any more power so it's not gonna go around again it's it seems pretty clear the nays have it I'm just trying to score it a bye to that sicko so all of you that one mmm you put your power in the center here meaning that it's ready to take possibly for the next round if anyone wishes to pass and gather power I take my power back because I lost which is sort of another thing I think game wise that encourages you to kind of go out a bit because if you do lose you just get your power back yeah and yes now we now we read what's on there you clip it in the direction yeah okay with the farmers of Percy Road hiding in the deep woods of the nearby hills the local guards are insufficient in number to bring everybody back to work which means that we have gone down on our military track and we get sticker three which is a bad example after Percy roads stop sending foodstuffs to the kingdom with impunity many other towns now feel entitled to stop sending theirs to pushing the food reserves of the kingdom at risk I warned y'all you give the peasants an inch they take a mile oh you silly peasants okay so we're gonna stick this on a separate piece but normally you put them on the board but seeing as we don't want to mess up so do we now sign this sign most power on the winning side and then what the little shaker box is for it's such a great coil that was that's an actual Kingston so what these little check boxes for so so basically it's for however many generations you can like tick it off because what happens is there's so many stickers you can kind of see it on our board well we actually stick stickers on top of other stickers cuz it goes on for like quite a long time ok cool music Alex it's so it's like next game if that stickers on the board take it out the means it's been there for a generation after three generations what happens is forgotten yeah you just you fade like dust right okay so we have resolved this so I'm gonna go under here right yep and then I'm gonna pass the cards to house jumps see to the bomb stroke on the random alright uh the holy attendant reports to us that a statue of the mother in the town of Nia nook has been beheaded by unknown vandals it can be repaired but the famous artist tarik offended by the incident offers to replace it with a monumental statue of the mother and her eight st. daughters this new piece of art would bring spiritual relief to the town but tarik asked for an exorbitant renumeration do we fund the new statue [Laughter] [Music] yes so if we vote to fund the statue will lose gems which I assume is money economy but will gain a good sticker if we vote against it we will gain a bad sticker and we'll go down in flags which is military goodwill goodwill okay happiness all right that's where we're at okay I mean I'm not super jazzed about if I'm perfectly honest like wasting money on I'm role-playing this I'm going with what my family would say just FYI playing a game right oh you don't have to just do so you do used to vote first sorry is your leader now you would start I'm going to say nay we shouldn't fund that statue I'm not a big fan of art to be honest 4/3 paintings sculptors are poetry power because actually we get statue whatever was a measly power I'll accept the statue but Robin I have it yes hmm how's me and not very religious but not not religious how'd you feel about sculpture we never had any sculptures so frankly I don't give a damn passing what kind of party doing I'm passing to click power ok I um I don't like to spend money on silly things like this I'm an a no yeah join the antiques don't you I'm yellow but I'd like to I always ask for money so I could spend it on parties tomorrow's party you well I wonder how you're well well I can't argue with your opinions on art I will make a case and say that the statue is quite important to the people if you lot ever think about that and I will vote yes with five power because I believe the mother is important and I believe that the people should find succor beneath her stone statue as they did with the old one yeah I don't drink well I'm nope because no one has basically the reet when it goes around it's because someone's put more power on so it's like another phase oh it's like upping the ante yeah but no one else has put that much power if that makes sense so it's like why put five power and then wheels put like six power then it would like go around again you always have to individually okay all right Sahra beat us out with it you get your damn statue you and your damn say how long this one keeps his head I'm about to take power that's right myself am in okay so could you could you pass me the power back please I'm going to exchange my big token for smaller power change our bag a lot of power basically equivalent of a power fighter this one [Laughter] so I remember if we expand the spit but the power gets divided evenly so if there's a nine power they each get four and one just gets left over for the next round buddy house that's six power - oh no actually I think the power either in goes to the next round oh yeah pretty good hold early game huh there you go keep oh and I get to read this so thanks to Sarah it's an eye hi Tariq beams as we agree to his fee baby buddy yeah and immediately begins working on his monumental sculpted group of the mother and her st. daughters when the statue is finally unveiled he declares his inspiration came from delaria leiria Luria Tyria the saint daughter of the arts but the more malicious in sin oh the book than the more malicious insinuate over that the more malicious in Sarnia it came rather from raelia the saint daughter of money regardless it is a super piece of art Oh damming come on agree with subjective yeah sure Guardian review so we go down in money by free yeah we get +1 in this scroll which I assume is a little cold no it's a sticker right pass one in scrolls alright and then we get a sticker one that's been oh isn't it I think oh and a sticker oh but there are hidden benefits in my defense there are different symbols here yes you're right minus three plus one because there are some hidden ones I'm hidden side the hex yep and sticker one sick of one the divine spark Tariq's new sculpture in the NIA nak become so famous all over the known lands that many of the faithful from abroad undertake a difficult journey to town to admire it yes and that is gonna be signed by house Elson thank you do we ship down in may I have the quill please yes okay let's chill out shall we yeah something about knowing you lot doesn't surprise me that the kingdoms immediately just gone [Laughter] or Gees and sculptures baby oh yeah we got our priorities straight all right [Laughter] there we go the common folk of the red oak village have begun praising a mysterious pagan deity I know it right scandalous friar mother thinks that tolerating such paganism may destabilize the kingdom lead it away from the grace of the mother and we recommend creating a religious tribunal to restore the true faith or to convert to heretics the librarian Chancellor however thinks that such cultural diversity may benefit us in the long run and that our money could be better spent elsewhere do we create a religious tribunal right what are the answer more money on religious stuff more money yeah so and I means that I've got some money symbol and a tower a tower symbol which I believe is military down money up up military phrase and neh is a scroll I believe growing up yeah I know that knowledge of gang okay so sorry Oh leader right yep I'm leader so well I I don't care much for tribunal I find them rather lengthy and arduous I think it would be much easier if we just executed them so it's not an option you know things were easier back in my dad's day back when people respected the mother and all the religions and didn't that about with silly pagan idols I'm going to pass and gather power because I don't want to dirty my hands with those pagan ruffians right I think let's not spend any more money because if we spend any more money then we're not gonna be buying my wine so let's just crack down some power on NATO that's three ornate I disagree so fund this tribunal with no idea you were so taken by the mother House Jarvis please do explain why the sudden turn or favor I just like spending money spending spree already with this statue we might as well keep spending yeah these are the decisions that need to get laid what have house me and yes well seeing as we have such a terrible time I want other people to also have a terrible time that is fair we suffer so much day so I will also oh my god yes yeah truly moved whopping weight here by your devotion to the mother and her subjects how selsun will remember this I couldn't care less I have to get to coz I want power oh and I become leader I always made this was made advisor and now I'm leader it's my [Laughter] and then you read the card with an eye eye you pulled yourself together no you're gonna bankrupt this kingdom you are the most zealous judges in the kingdom are selected to form a special tribunal its task will be to investigate the cult of the Horned blaze as it is called to restrain this blasphemous belief from spreading all over the realm and to restore a new lean belief in the mother does anyone else think that the Horned blaze was just the people in the field yeah so plus military strength to miniature where did this come from so we're actually yeah we're neutral again back on back on track and minus one money's but it becomes two we're a bit broke dang make it rain we have conquered I want to understand terms we have for money - for money I think no that's it's like the pH scale if I can't have money neither can anyone the money pre-state ha we signed up on that right and how we move on to the next because you've run out of cards yes he opens me no I think actually sorry I can just take a look at that so we voted yes right we actually open up envelope d5 you can open up and envelope defy we're causing such a ruckus that we've jumped four envelopes mean lolis right because lady thunder yes you can read out the introduction text as well which one was the introduction to this or that will be like a different one and that the signer of this card can choose another player who must immediately discard three prestige M the wisest scholars and priestesses in Uncas are sent to the mark of duel AK with a large contingent of Royal Guards well this new tribunal known as the I'm gonna do this just in case I was using this new tribunal known as the inquisitorial Court will have the task of investigating the tenets of the Horned blaze soon enough many heretics are arrested and questioned the courts reports no the court reports that the followers of the Horned blaze believed at the end of times is approaching this is an alien concept or cult which believes in the cyclic the reincarnation of souls for this reason many of these heretics are squandering the local resources and acting irresponsibly convinced that it makes no sense to worry about the future if there is no future word even more worryingly the followers of the horn plays insinuate that the mother herself may be the root of the impending doom the heretics seem to be a threat both to the cult and to the kingdom itself college boys summon out this is do you like what is your ends right your ass right well both of you have been splurging money all over the place and now you're punishing the peasants from following your example they never said we were doing the punishment night all charges I believe it will be the leader again because Matt's still leader thanks so kindly the son of this charge can choose another player who must immediately discard free power yes I'm going to pick house awesome sorry concerned about the you know the sway that religions have the tribunal I think yes symbols yes so yeah that has a matching symbol so I'm achieving something about now just goes under cuz I was kind of that chapter right courage and things the inquisitorial court discovered a new heretical pamphlet claiming that the Horned blaze would just be another representation of the ninth daughter and old persistent and heinous her here heresy the college has been fighting for centuries as everybody knows that the mother only ever had eight daughters do we burn the pamphlet before anyone can study it and we've got scroll positive scroll for nay negative this one for so we're gonna gain or lose knowledge based on our decision yeah if we if we say no we'll also lose public opinion that's my favorite video game series the negative Scrolls very good well I just want to start these before we even talk about votes right night things is already a sore point for you because Pluto is bloody planet alright so is this let's just not throw away people's never say yeah exactly oh you're against me so what are we reckon mister leader yeah alright Jarvis I'm gonna say burn it we've we're having enough trouble as it is just burn the scroll avid um live why are you so so much dissent okay it's the one positive thing we've got is knowledge and you already try to get rid of it yeah having knowledge the more knowledge they have the more dangerous they are join join house job sorry I was so caught up in gesture so I'm going to vote aye we should burn it with one pow you know our religious cult across their way whose power you've just stricken your good friend Elsa greeted so well in recent arrests in the the core of your beliefs or something like that if there's another daughter you don't want their gang out there shortly that's not gonna help you say well let's see what house me and has to say ignorin says bliss do luck has experienced too much control interruptions from the military presence I say let our people do what they want we are not burning the scroll you can't control us once again I couldn't spot a pass for power history will forget you me and you are just a posh dollar by the way well then zealot tree on its way where's awesome this is a tough one as a we've been rather recently wounded by an old companion of ours somewhat ruining our power sources in this case I like the snake must retreat and gather power I'm not the snake I'm the keys you're the liquid snake I will be voting aye nay sorry oh come on join knowledge yeah II didn't mean to do that [Laughter] you three thank you a lot this is the only time I'm ever gonna splurge come on then put it in all that tasty get your power in thank you see battery power I knew you're the leader now right I mean oh yeah so that was nay the heretical heretical pamphlet recounts a few obscure references actually found in the holy texts that may be may indeed imply the existence of the infamous ninth daughter the prior mother dismisses them as metaphorical speech but many sorry those sounded weird but many are frightened by this revelation and start to suspect that the cult is hiding something we've got -2 on the flag thing public opinion and plus to our knowledge carry on we know a lot but we're dirt poor like like the classic poets yes no no but we don't have anymore because they spent it all on okay right the history of the horn blaze is spreading well I suppose we could put that down to a few people the holy attendant thinks that if we started preaching that the horn blaze itself is just an alternative representation of the mythical sphere of also the same daughter of strength yes of course three yes yes we might find common ground with the heretics and prevent further attacks on the devoted the Inquisition or court however fears that coming to terms with these doomsayers will taint our cult and array is an important part of our culture do we try to absorb the heresy of the Horned blaze into the cult of the mother I gives us good food presumably because the Horned blaze have a lot of wheat and wheat negative knowledge and nay gives us negative food right I mean all right we say I mean what say thou hast knowledge positive food so the question is do we try to absorb the heresy of the Horn of the mother is negative food okay anyway no she does neither of these decisions so any amount of riot chaos vans morale abandoned I I will pass another dam given the moderate who are you gaining power little more moderate doing in case of its territory I've not yet that's a chance to do that yeah okay I don't want to moderate I don't care religion is borrowed you've got you've not used that lolis he's waiting for one massive yeah so far if not had any interest he's gonna be like we're gonna throw a bigger big pie has already been and gone yeah I missed my turn do we try to absorb the heresy of the horn blaze and to the cult of the mother well while I do understand that they would be less of a threat if they were lit part of the cult of the mother they are ultimately heretics so I say no with for power here he comes I know I've been alright with the heretics up until now but what I mean was food even for right I'm just gonna just gonna tie in with that screw the heretics let's keep our knowledge well you've both sorted out the name for me so I'm just gonna grab something well it's just wait until I get something that's interesting I'm imagining in the king's court you're just literally salad like this like beer like smother you bear holding a tie good what are you hiding I drink why how slow knees and you're like oh I'm not the drunk one I choose the easiest path to say what happens answer right so I become leader because I voted the most mean should we do the split yeah and before I put my stuff in as low as I said we are we spell out this power you mind breaking down this fiber power and deprived power these five of your British bank for a big shield nothing smaller than slight influence to know what might keep this one yes so there's two left but is it has to be split equally there's always a fair amount in there hmm yeah apart from the one time I passed and Gaza we can't compromise the purity of our cult just for political reasons however serious they may be the inquest Oriole Court continues its effort to purge the heretics from the mark of dual AK but this does nothing but exacerbate the clashes between the cults and the followers of the Horned blaze we get minus three food just walked into yes we are now basically space Nazis anything good for it right we don't have any money the people are starving they don't like us no knowledge yeah actually quite not hundreds not sure exactly where this goes I'm just gonna check the manual oh I think that these go in here I just want to double-check yeah because I think there's a thing here yeah oh yeah I think I think we're supposed to be meeting across this tract rouille a member of the inquisitorial court went beyond the limits of his mandate by brutally killing a child falsely accused of heresy without to trial a trial that right now people are outraged by his blatant abuse of power demand that he be sentenced to death the law is with them too but a strict ruling may undermined the repressive motivation of other inquisitors do we sentence Rudy to death one of the things if we say aye we get positive tower power if we say nay we get a negative sticker and negative public support oh I mean here's a child murder yeah get away with killing off a child murderer personally it's not your turn awesome right so it's yes is to execute him yes mm-hmm give the people a grim display while I believe in killing heretics I do believe that children don't necessarily need to be killed at that stage it's possible to just talk to them so yes he must we must make an example that is not cool to kill children even if they are heretics and sinners yeah if I don't vote eh I sorry then it's gonna look real bad on me so I'm gonna say yeah just just throw my hand in there you've got this covered I'm just gonna get same get off my power I am a mother myself I also say I and I will go in with five okay I'm gonna put more on lolly house lollies becomes leader I've decided lolling too much at the beginning I was moderated oh did he I think it's ramp around no no it stays until somebody takes a day so just all the auto rolls overs or the way they like the leader desk I will stand with house loling ttan and give the people a grim display yeah Wow I have a little bit bloodthirsty just not child tell us what happens well no abuse of power will be tolerated under our rule following the custom of the kingdom and misbehaving official is subject to the worst punishment they could dispense death rule II will be hanged at dawn in the public square in front of the temple of the lover increase this by two I mean there are worse ways to die yeah frankly I especially ones in my kingdom yeah medieval tortures bloody there is no torture worse than knowing you've disappointed the mother lazing Harris sir the heresy of the Horned blaze spreads like a wildfire through the mark of Duloc while many find refuge in the inflammatory tenets of fire and theory of the horned blaze many among the most devoted to the mother start to retaliate against the excesses of the heretics religious turmoil spreads throughout the region and golfing many villages in bloody strife thundering families and friends even outside the mark of geolock some monasteries are repeatedly stained in bull blood and we even hear reports that some priestesses have mysteriously disappeared shuffle shuffle them in underneath no idea it's not great doing it it's not great it's my this is why I passed this kingdom no you got it sorry I saw your cards and I was like you've got us okay [Music] laughs laughs a nobleman from fair form has strangled his brother and his teammate got it right it was very good what happened before is like should we build a statute now sigh they murdered a child they stroke let's get back to statue building yeah he claims that his brother was a follower of the Horned blaze and was planning an attack on the local priestesses many however blame a recent quarrel between the two concerning a precious collection of historical texts that they inherited from their uncle a renowned scholar laughs claims that he merely acted in defense of the cult of the mother and is willing to give up the books in exchange for a pardon do we grant laughs a pardon books but these are both positive so if we vote why we'll get more knowledge if we vote nay we'll get more will get better public opinion hmm so there may be hidden there may be I is I've got the power aim what was the question again the final question to harden the guy either strangle his brother in his sleep because he did it in defense of the mother he claims to apparently and he'll give us the books oh yes books books books but what am i I'm not that invested but I'm very moderately invested I'm passing my past as leader if you - what I'm shocked who thought that this would be the outcome it's poppin' to be like top earners bad let's say you how awesome is it pardon him pardon his eye do you know what his name well I certainly don't want that no no no this sets a dangerous precedent means that everyone that kills anyone else and we've seen this before with the decadent orgies which you're also in support of what what's to stop every Tom Dick and Harry saying that the mother told them to kill their brother kill their wife oh yes I know I'm running I'm running a little bit dry at the moment all I have is one power but I would be willing to compensate anyone that supports me in pursuing justice with much some of my gold look I'm not gonna beat around the bush here I really like books so I'm gonna go in six power on the my baby I'm indifferent to books I use a Kindle what are you going for a power see was has made such a good case [Laughter] the drunken man speaks some sense for once whoa I agree stop killing my people all right passes that's he's pardoned we get those books but books but oh right yes it's me so we granted laughs a pardon we believed laughs version of story I don't think that's the reason he was pardoned oh yeah believed give us the books we believe last version of the story when we grant him the pardon he was little he was asking for even to thank us for his leniency he stays true to his promise and donates his uncle's entire collection of precious historical studies to the royal library a boon for the scholars of the whole kingdom knowledge goes up by 300 AD one I think it doubles I think at one I know this goes yeah does that mean the King dies [Laughter] crushed by the historical texts I remain free on brand here heretics Bad Religion some in there and Charles is not good but fratricide we've all learned something today yes we get a gold coin for passing don't forget we will money does count acceptable the end well this is the end right where is everyone else's shields that they spend this round well this is a heck of a kingdom really money public opinion no food but we have great military in knowledge yeah okay so no because we've got loads of knowledge here yeah please oh I'm going to put this at the back so it doesn't hit ah what's the name of our King King Harold I believe Howard the forefront yeah let me check he was so beloved we can't remember his name upon his passing King anonymous has passed away okay everyone so work out how many points you got based on your secret agenda right we should reveal these probably yeah I was an opportunist desperation is home for opportunities and so my goal was basically to get everything in the bottom half of the scale already by the way I was just funding everything into chaos I was greedy who cares about the state of you have money so yeah I didn't really care about the state having any cash but I did want things to be in the top and bottom five so I've got yeah I think I've got the highest score I could have had because I've got one at the top and one in the bottom which is a total of two which means I get 11 points oh wow yeah wow yeah your house wheels gets 11 I got moderate which is a good example of me not playing to type but it would be strange for the Dukes of an ATAR to play moderate but if given that given a chance to pick an agenda I will usually go for rebel or extremist which actually because if you look on your cards you see that you get like little boxes next to the different secret agendas oh yeah and my my card rewards me for being a rebel or being an extremist so it's a good example of like you don't have to play a kind of four points if you get an agenda that doesn't match I just played true to what's my house would to which is demand blood endlessly right who's next on your open agenda so I was a moderate which means anything between 13 and 5 I get three one two three which gives me ten points and it's not song time as well mmm-hmm I was the extremists me I was looking to have one as file that's fine as high up as I could and one is for it down as I could so I didn't do amazing me but I count the spaces between the highest one of the lowest one that's my points oh that's 12 yeah that's very good eyes yeah yeah um okay and me and what did you get and I'm confused you wanted to solve them here anything beyond five so you got two which means you get it thirteen whoa oh my god well yeah rebel rebels a hard one but when you get your things it gets you a lot yeah blimey fair enough okay I was also playing alongside my achievements and I want to curse the royal family which means screw King yeah [Laughter] money no not unless he abdicated oh yeah but then he'd still die off there yes and if money is the lowest resource track yeah so you do get whatever your sort of achievement is achieve likes me in a cheap and Hunter so then we also get cash money points very if you look at your secret agenda you'll get you can see that beneath the resources that you'll get a certain amount of points based on your coin ranking so we go through and see who has the most coins and then we work out who's first second and 14 I'm one of twelve hang on I've got twelve damn the top three then I reckon I've probably got twelve as well because my voice can we start it pretend I like this for pointing okay so how many exactly four points so how many points do you have 1414 Wow okay so yes you get four points based on your ranking coming in not at first who's next time twelve we both just score our respective points got six I was my got four after that money so we're both eleven so with ranked third sorry so I got four points greedy greedy rewards you for the monies did we get anything for power because I've got a lot of it do you get something to the power I'm just gonna double that cow it's either then it's a similar thing where it's like the first ranking but I can't remember the exact amount of power that you get the amount of points you get for ranking one two three but yes if everyone open agenda okay so the person with the most power gets two additional agenda points what the player with the second-most power gets one and in case of a tie both players score a bonus of a tie position I've got 13 okay I've got 13 power the power I've got the second most power and we haven't done any of these but you would also get points or lose points potentially based on your open agenda which basically based on the stickers give you sort of tokens that can increase or decrease your kind of points so for example if you have Vijender sticker for safe food if the food was negative at the end of at the end of the game you might lose points right based on that they can they can [ __ ] you but they can also give you power so you've got a positive one all right so let's total these up we have we have 15 in total four wheels we have eleven in total for Sarah we have 15 in total for Matt we've got 18 in total four lollies and we got 15 in total for me and you can clean out I played the game excellently I was true to my house to my house very important that's my speech great winner winner chicken dinner well I could have some chicken for the dogs thanks very much teaching it to us this was wacky I think we probably lost some of the aspects that you would have got from the main campaign because we didn't have their everlasting effects yeah and from some of the stories that you told me without wishing to delve into spoilers mm-hmm it sounds pretty nuts we also only played with five ever possible what like 12 yeah I think that's 12 to select from but it does only suit up to Firefly yeah I'm so like there's there's lots of different variation that there's like technology communists all kinds of weird and wacky roles that you can play as and obviously there's a huge stack of envelopes with all of those story beaten it's really cool and you'll be able to go i guessing you'll be able to go through them at your own sort of pace so it doesn't matter which envelope comes after it you're just sort of right we did this now we're going to open this one it put that into the story cool so when you're playing as part of the campaign these bits here get really like filled up if you have lots of ongoing stories happening simultaneously so if we were to play it again we might get more on the Horned blaze yeah or we might just start a completely new tangent and these also complete as well once they have enough cards in them so they actually come to like an interesting conclusion as well which is quite nice cool it's funny because I played the this demo version at Essen and it was completely different like the second card that came out was willing us the the squirrely where anyone the second one I don't remember how that played to be honest we probably could play this again and yes this is pretty sweet and like the writing wasn't terrible and it was short it is not Hugh should lead something that you experience in these kind of games which is really nice so yeah it's pretty cool look out for a very very in-depth review of the 15 sessions there's a preview up already the first five yes I've done a preview of the first five games where we track all the horrible things that we did to the kingdom and to each other it's a lot of fun and there should there will be a full review coming off that because actually the game also introduces new mechanics as it goes on Wow so as you kind of get passed around like game for Game five new stuff starts coming out which I won't reveal because that would be spoilery but basically it actually changes quite a lot and in the way that it has these very complex storylines it also throws quite a lot of different mechanics at you which is very fun like also been enjoying that it's been a real surprise right we'll pop a link in the description for that little preview article
