Lost Ruins of Arnak - GameNight! DateNight! Se8 Ep43 - How to Play and Playthrough

[Music] do game night date night tonight on game night date night nikki and me lincoln are going to teach and show you how to play lost ruins of our knack a 1-4 player game designed by min and elwynn and published by check games edition throw me the whip i'll throw you the idol welcome to game night date night tonight we are going to play lost runes of arnac in this game we are explorers and we come across this mysterious island that is uncharted by the way and we are going to start researching it and trying to figure out where a mysterious temple is in the course of this game i know bill you don't know that you're doing your research here on the main board and you are collecting and there are actually some guardian tiles so you will be fighting some monsters too the game plays in five rounds and it's marked on this top board right here and it is highest points is the winner so lincoln why don't you get into it sure first thing i'm going to tell you is this is a advanced prototype of the game we were sent this for the spiel digital coverage in october 2020 and so it is not exactly the way the regular game looks for example these tokens i believe would you'd see more red on them because this these are stickers on here these are all plastic tiles that look really good and they look very close to the real game and these i believe are laser cut pawns that they've colored red but otherwise it's really really close and looks amazing so in the game we are trying to find the ruins of our knack and we're going to do so in a variety of ways every round we're going to have five cards in our hand there could be a way that you might have more cards i don't know if there's actually any cards that change your starting hand i doubt it what you do get is things like this on the board that will give you an additional let you draw an additional card there are some uh for example this assistant has a way to get another card but you're always gonna have five cards and on your turn you could do one thing okay and it says since it's sort of a deck builder you it and worker placement because you're going to go out here and place it to gain resources do exploration and advance on the research track your deck starts with two fear cards if you notice if it's still in your deck at the end of the game you lose one point for having it but it's beneficial because it lets you have one movement to go to the one of the dig sites okay it is the only thing you can use it for is to go to the dig sites yes if at some point you don't think you need them anymore you can get rid of them by hopefully taking these types of actions here these cards let you take the card out of the game which just goes into the pile but out of your hand okay then you have some funding cards in your hand those are instantaneous actions you can you can play that at any point in time and still do an action on it's they're not even an action they're just instantaneous you can take it or you can use it as a card because in the corner here we also have a type of travel we have a vehicle car and we have a ship so these locations on the board need these type of cards to get there but you can also use these for um currency okay so that would get me gold correct okay then we have exploration cards they also have movement as well so they have the ships and the cars but they also count as a compass compass isn't currency in this game so let's look at some of the stuff on the board here we have compasses gold tablets arrowheads and gems all right i don't believe that they're resource limited but there are only nine gems in the game they are a little hard to get and they're required in a lot of your research here on this track so the first thing you might do in your game is move to one of the dig sites so if you play the fear card you can move to this site and there is no cost to get there except for the movement of the boot and then you place your since there's only two players in the game we have these things blocking oh yeah the uh second person coming to the spot this is a work replacement thing i would place my pawn here and i would collect immediately the two compasses these are fixed sights they're always going to be the same in the game because they are not a special card and you'll notice there's two gold two compasses kampai two tablets an arrowhead and if you discard if you play a card without its action you can collect a gem or gems so that explorer stays there right for sure until the end of the round okay okay we each are going to have what we're going to do one thing then the next person's going to do one thing until somebody passes right uh i'm not even telling so many passes once both players all players have passed then that round is done we perform the end of round stuff for the next turn and then we pass the start player token again so these are all very very valuable but you end up not needing them as much as you go along because you want to use your explorers in some more of the advantageous locations and those are dig sites also right that you see once you explore first okay or discover a new site and we'll explain that in a moment when you um and we'll actually get to it right now so we have in these uh sites out here idols so at the beginning of the game these are all face up that when you take them when you claim it because just going there gets you that you take it and you immediately take what's in the tan band here all right on the advanced ones here which is even further and more expensive to get to there are two idle tokens we have one that's face down and that's all you get you just take it and put it on your board and then the other you claim the good um or action in uh the tan band okay and i'll explain some of what they do in a moment to get to these you then you must place your adventurer and pay the the cost to get there which is either the vehicle of the cars or the boats and an additional three compasses to get there and that's for an unrevealed correct location then what we do is first thing is you as i said you get the token and you put it on your board and basically once you you take the gold coin for example for this one and then you flip it over because then you're not all it is it's just gonna count as three points for you at the end of the game no matter what plus there's some things you can do here which i'll explain a bit then you take the type of site tile so in this zone it's a single looks like an a one or a keyhole right and then these are two so you'll be the majority of them are going to be these you'll take one from the top of the stack which i'm going to take one from below so we don't have to reshuffle everything you put it in that location okay and i also i immediately get those resources okay so it looks like i get a fear card here and a tablet and some gems so you take those immediately so i would take that fear and i would take a gems and a tablet and i put it on my board here then we take out a guardian now this guardian takes four gold to overcome it sure i guess we're just bribing him and you will not be able to deal with that right now because you only have one action you've just gone to that site and revealed the guardian then it's the next player's turn then when it comes back to you if you're able to pay for it then you overcome the guardian and then you would take it into your possession and you place it face up in front of you because you additionally have this guardian's boon in the corner there's always going to be one of these or something right right exactly i will explain what the icons are in a moment but this is valuable because you can when it's in front of you you can use it once at some point uh during the game it's another free action it's got the lightning bolt and once you've done it you flip it over and it will be worth five points here at the end of the game it's gonna be worth five points to you whether you use the guardian's moon or not are you going to ask that that was going to be my name yeah okay well the guardian doesn't prevent you from get uh digging at the site you will get those resources so if at the end of this turn i haven't made it when in the reset i'll bring the pawn back to my board and then i will take an additional fear card and put it in my deck which i did just which i showed earlier so i'm going to i would get two for that one right yeah if i don't take care of you don't take it out right now again fear is not that bad it's minus one point but you can get rid of them and that's that's uh not that difficult it just depends then on the next turn if somebody comes in nikki could go here it's already discovered so you don't have to pay the cost of the compasses to get here you would get those resources including the fear card then you have the opportunity to overcome the guardian but i do have to pay the exactly the vehicle costs to get there all right you just don't have to discover it all right and then once this is gone if somebody has claimed it then that's just another location you can go to to do a dig and claim those resources ah you only have two per round to do it with your pawns and that's why it's important that you use them every round do your best to get them out at a minimum get them to here so you can get something down here but as you can see we get gems and tablets and a fear card which isn't so great and these here are going to be more advanced they have different location cards for those this one here provides two compasses and gems all right and it's cost six to discover and then it's free to go there except for the cost of the movement yeah the two ship movement to get there and then these would be gone okay then the next thing you can do is buy an item so up here might as well start finishing putting them out did we shuffle these no okay let's shuffle them okay shuffle those over there you should just do them well they don't shuffle since they're prototype they don't shuffle perfectly well i don't know that was nice i know it's just they're they're not exactly they're not exactly all the same yeah they're very nice cards they're just not the same length so we'll put these out they cost the same no matter where you buy them from on the track there is no cheaper but as cards are purchased and as rounds advance we remove cards from the array and then everything slides towards the moon staff the reason why that's important is at the end of this round if these cards have not been bought well it doesn't matter whatever cards are in this position will be discarded put into these piles and new ones will be put in its place and then you would move this moon staff over to the at the end of the round this would get discarded and then you would put a new artifact out so then you have two artifacts and four items to buy and it will it'll keep changing to where there's at the end round there's only one item that you might want to buy which you may you generally don't care to buy even though they do give you victory points you're more likely going to want to buy the artifacts it goes slides right yeah that's correct so it's always going to be the the oldest card theoretically at the moon staff okay so i was saying that you can buy an item these items have several things going on on the card number one it counts as movement so this counts as two ships and you need that to get here you can spend that for this but you just get you don't you don't use its full value you're only using it for one ship but to get to these you only have to use one card to do that additionally it has an action so if you pay one compass you can overcome a guardian okay just by using this card so you play the card that's a good card exactly and you overcome the guardian and you discard one of your compass tokens this card when you do purchase it it costs you four there could be some things that change the value of the card uh change the cost to card you put it in your deck underneath when you purchase it all right so it's not going to be available to you this round but it could be available to you in the next round i'm going to put that back because i don't want to confuse i already know i have more fake cards in there i want to keep that i don't hope we don't reset but additionally it's also worth one victory point at the end of the game and you see they all have some value i believe that there is a three but only one a three in the artifacts and a three okay in the items now the next thing you can do is you can buy an artifact artifacts are a little bit different they also have a vehicle this is a an airplane and i will explain that right now as a matter of fact because we haven't talked about it the vehicles have a hierarchy the most basic is the boot and that's on the fear card and it can only count for that then the next level are these ships and these cars and then you have the multiple ones up here that you have on some of the cards like here but any of them can be used on the way down so you can use an airplane to do anything on this board all of these but then you would need two of the items here to do no matter what even an airplane you'd still need maybe a boat and an airplane to do this or two airplanes and do some of the guardians require an airplane and that's why you would uh to overcome them i believe so i think i recall seeing one that needed an airplane and a gym but it just depends right the thing is is you can always pay two gold to hire an airplane so you don't necessarily need or it's actually hire a pilot you don't actually need to have it to potentially do that if you don't have an artifact card yet and that of course needs to be in your hand to be able to do it to use it but when you take one of these cards when you pay the cost you immediately do what's on the card so for example this one is i discard a card without using its action i just take it out of my hand and put it into my discard pile and then i can immediately refresh two of my uh assistants which i'll get to in a bit uh what does the other one do i can't see that uh this one is uh use the effect on the silver side of one assistant available on the supply board so you don't even have to have that insist assistant on your player you just use one of those now that happens immediately but when that comes back up in your hand if you want to use that action again you must pay a tablet okay every one of these has that all right so it just becomes a movement card once you've collected it unless you pay an additional tablet to be able to reactivate that just for one more time but i mean like you see here refreshing both of these two assistants would be pretty powerful yes so it might be worth a tablet to do that then the next thing we have here is the research track you pay the resources shown to move into this position and in these positions more than one player can be in them all right only at the at the dig sites only one player can be at them so you know once somebody claims this in the in the round you have to wait till the next round to potentially uh grab it again but let's go back to the research track when you when you do this i now have it's branched i have two options i can go to either this location here with the cost of a gems with the gems or i can go to this this location here with the cost of a tablet and an arrowhead and that you see they go back and forth but then you reach here you're only going to be able to choose one and then you move to this the thing is is once you get there depending on the token you move we have the magnifying glass you will get a coin when you reach there and wherever this token is at at the end of the game will claim these victory points all right to claim an additional assistant you have to cl bring your book or your journal probably is what it is yes up to the next level okay and it can never be higher than the magnifying glass the magnifying glass leads the way and then the journal can follow but you at this one it's a free assistant you just take it and put it on your board you choose one of the three from the top then when you advance to the next level you will claim a compass with the magnifying glass and another assistant with the journal then this level and you notice we don't have a token here because with a four player game this is with a two-player game you don't use these spots and you don't use these spots oh all right so the first person that gets to this level gets that tile and then that is immediately put in front of you and you take whatever that is okay advancing is all about the same i'll get to this last bit here but let's go over the uh the icons this is you gain a tablet this is lets you upgrade one of your items so if you have a tablet you can upgrade it to the next level which is the arrowhead if you have an arrowhead you can upgrade it to the next level by putting it back and taking it a gym so you can gems are the top value but you can keep moving up with them one with that action oh i didn't to know that i thought it was just upgrade to anything no it's it's they take a tablet they need to move along exactly okay you can't do it that way right let me put that back even though i'd like to keep those um this here is you get to draw a card immediately this one here is you get to get rid of a card either in the played area or from your hand and that would be a way to get rid of the fear cards might as well put that back over there because i know i have too many on my deck this one gives you a gold this one gives you a compass actually all of those are the same so there's no more let's look over here if there's any more uh this is refreshing assistant and that is it those are those are what they do so when you're moving up on this track you have to keep track of um how this overlaps because i could yeah it's branch like i was saying pay that to get to that one right but if i was all the way up here if i want to have three different options yeah well they have to pay a tablet and right and a gym to go to that and sometimes it doesn't matter even though that's wonderful sometimes it's it's you might want something else in that that track but again if nikki has come through here and i'm here now my only option if i want to gain something on that one is to go that way but if i can't afford i mean it's not cheap arrowheads seem to be a little bit harder to get in this game there's only one here gems are too but there seem to be more of them for example we have one here although who knows i haven't seen all the tiles as you're going up this track though you'll see here you gain three compasses when you bring your journal up here and a single compass this one is you get to take an artifact for free nice if you get your journal up here and this one you get to draw a card when you bring your magnifying glass up here this one lets you overcome a guardian without cost to you where you have an explorer so it's i will tell you now i don't know how easy is it is to get this up here because the bigger points are from your magnifying glass so you have these you have these two paths this next level everybody gets to this and it's just a gold a compass and gems but the first person here gets the 23 spot and the next person gets 21 and since there's only two in the game that's what would stop for us but then it's 20 and the 19. and there's i notice here there's not a token we need to put one there for that as well okay here is one cool let's see what we got hey it's another tablet i don't know how tablet's not so bad there you get to buy that so then once you're up there you can purchase these upgrades up here at the very top they're not really upgrades they're just victory points but they have a different way that you pay for them it's the same but the the the cost is indicated differently than any place else on the board to purchase these two point temple tiles one gold and two tablets this one here is one gem and this one here is a compass and an arrowhead to claim one of the six point ones you have to pay everything beneath that side so this would be one gold two tablets and a gem and this one would be one gem a compass and an arrow and then to do the top one that's worth 11 points you must pay one gold two tablets one jam a compass and an arrowhead that's a lot of stuff exactly you're only going to be able to do that if you've been aggressively making it to here because i feel these resources go quickly in your hand and then you can also pass at the end of you know at any point if you have cards still in your hand you can either discard them or hold them for the next round and then you draw back up to five but you can also do and should do any free actions that you have all right so so if i had these lightning bolts in my hand i could just take those and put the tokens into my pile or spend them okay and then when everybody is passed because you know once somebody's done the other players or player continues until they're out of actions and then they pass and then you reset your board so you take back all of your explorers if you have an explorer in a location with a guardian you must take a fear card then you take all your cards and you shuffle them up and then you stick them at the bottom of your deck so if anything that new that you had added will be potentially more accessible it depends on how many cards in your deck and then you advance the card row which is we will slide the moon staff over one removing these two and then adding additional car uh cars if needed this one like these will just keep going away most likely unless that's expensive right so once something's bought though they'd slide down and they'd be again and then we'd just move over so you might not have a lot of time again the new ones will be over here so you'll have more of an option to get them but you need to pay attention because some of these are super valuable hopefully you can get them i mean you might want that dog he's pretty cute if i have any great hate cards in my hand you can hold on to that i can hold on to it right okay i mean if you think that you know what's in your deck and you're planning ahead and might want to have a super powerful turn the next round you can just put those cards in your keep them in your hand put the discarded ones in here and then draw back up to five okay then we start the new round by passing the start player token which is that alarm over there clock so then we have one thing that you can do on your on your train and this isn't this is an anytime free action it doesn't have to be on your turn right it can be done it doesn't take the place of your action when you have these idols they're worth three points to you at the end of the game additionally these spaces this one two three and four those are points you get at the end of the game if you haven't placed an idle there okay but if you place an idle there automatically you're going to lose one victory point for that first one but you get to take any one of these items over here one of the uh these bands of items so okay you can pay a gold to get a gems you can take an arrowhead you can take two tablets or a coin and a compass or a free card an additional card so at the end of the game that might be something you want to do at any point you might need to like there might be an opportunity to take care to overcome a guardian and you kind of want to get that stuff right now so that this is free again so that you might be able to go back there and claim those resources once again uh but as you're doing it it increasingly costs you victory points so this last one you will lose four points and you'll still only have the three that you already have right so so there is some risk to that but it's probably valuable when you're racing to get up to these higher values up here for the um seams for your magnifying glass we also have your assistance when you gain an assistant you put it in this area over here and it's available to you at any point it's a free action so this is another free action that you want to take advantage of before the end of the round in this case it would cost me one gold to get an arrowhead which is actually a pretty great trade yeah additionally you can upgrade so we have here when you get to this level this will let you choose one of your assistants to flip over and upgrade so it becomes more valuable to you this one now becomes i pay one goal to either get an arrowhead or a gem okay which is pretty great and then this will let you do that again okay there are some pretty fantastic cards in the artifacts deck and you you know we won't see them all but they're things like gaining this lets you gain an item and just place it on top of your deck so immediately when you purchase it you get that and then if you pay a tablet you can do it again this here is research with the discount of a gem which is pretty powerful right so you can bypass one then you need to pay a tablet again to get that advantage again but that might be valuable to you this one is you just get to overcome a guardian immediately again you must have somebody that place but later on you can pay a tablet and do it again so it's one tablet instead of what all these other costs are so there's some great stuff in there okay also let's reset that before we get going sure so bring that one back we'll put another so nikki let's shuffle up our cards okay and take five and you go ahead and start pretty terrible and i'm starting players so i get two gold and lincoln gets a gold and a compass right and then i think the next one is two gold and a compass and then two compass and a gold maybe even for three and four okay i think i've never played that don't have other people to play the game with right not yet hopefully all right i am gonna use a fear as a boot a boot to go dig and get right into what i want i want compasses compasses okay one two compass and that is my one action cool i will go do something similar i'm gonna go and get to tablets and there is no limit to how many you have again there's only so many on the board i don't know that it's resources are limited but it's unlikely that we'll run out of them i'm gonna pay two compass cards and a compass to go exploring plus the vehicle plus a vehicle right here okay okay all right so that goes so immediately we pull out one of these first stage ones that will give you right you first take that gives you another compass cool and then you take a gold and a arrowhead another gold and an arrowhead done then a guardian comes out correct this one is you need to discard a card hey you can do this right now but i can't because it's uh oh yeah next turn so yep now it's my turn i don't get to do anything of that nature um okay i guess i'm gonna go with my fear card again which i got both of them go over here and claim an arrowhead dig and claim an arrowhead okay or find an arrowhead you know what we didn't reset these oh yeah you're not that far no i'm not there yeah okay so now for my action i can actually afford to do this which is surprising i didn't think i would be able to so i discard a card i get rid of a compass and i pay an arrowhead then i get to draw a card correct and i would do that yeah i mean remember you could save it for later it can sit there and at any time you can do that it's so maybe you want to wait till you have more cards you had to make sure i will wait value because right now you probably have only fear a fear card over there i think so it's easy to keep track because it's your starting hand right okay and since i have only these free actions i'm just gonna i'm just gonna do these and get the two gold and a compass and now it's nikki's turn okay i have no more cards right you can spend to do something though you could start going up the track i think i'm gonna say pass okay well i'm gonna advance a little bit here on the track i will move my magnifying glass up to this level which cost me an arrowhead and a compass but i immediately get a gold nice and it is your turn well i had passed okay and now it's mine um i can actually have enough gold nikki p to buy a card and maybe i should so let's go over what we have we didn't actually do that what's this card here was this one that we actually had we did see that one to to reset your assistant your assistant yeah this here's the army knife it has a car and a boat so you can use it for either one of those i don't imagine there's any time when you need both them to go someplace but when you activate it you get to choose two different options there so i can take i can get rid of a card and and take a gold or i mean you get two of those things a compass or a tablet that's pretty fantastic that might be something that you get especially at the beginning of the game well it's an army knife i mean of course this one here is the revolver it lets you pay one compass to overcome a guardian it's worth two it has a movement value of two boats this one is the dog and they can count as a car but they also and they give you a compass when you get it but then you can activate an unoccupied base site that's these symbols down here at the base sites which is pretty great because later on in the game you might not have as many spaces filled down there especially in a two-player game sure and then this one here is the tent it counts as a vehicle a car you can activate a site you occupy if it's a the second level sites or the third level essentially i guess you must first pay two compasses so that's pretty spectacular too because you can do any of these it's the same as like this one but it's any of these wow that's pretty great too holy cow and then binoculars let you activate any one of these lower level sites wow those are all amazing really good you know what i think i'm going to go for the tent it gives me the most oh but it's a sight that you occupy well it doubles up i think i'm going to go for that one that seems pretty fantastic okay i thought you're gonna go for the cersei knife the army knife yeah it's pretty great too well you know that one's gonna be there but you'll have you could you could get it this one's gonna knock i passed no no i mean on the next round because that one this one is going to go if i take it unfortunately if i don't take these two are going to go right now correct but i'm saying the revolver is going to go as well this one's activate any sight wow that's pretty powerful too i think i'm going to go for that one the binoculars i think the tent is great but this one is it's just any one of these sites that is that is explored so and i don't have a level one site though i mean these yes this slide but i don't have to have a pawn there i don't have to have an explorer there so i think that's what i'm going to take that's going to go on the bottom of my deck and then i'm going to pass it immediately refills correct now it's the end of the round first thing we're going to do is take back our explorers if you have any guardians you would get a fear card which we don't nikki took care of that monster or that guardian i'm going to keep calling monsters and they're guardians yes then we're going to shuffle all of our cards put them at the bottom of the deck put them at the bottom then we refresh our assistants that we might have which we don't then we exile two cards next to the staff moon staff so those go away army knife sad you're pretty great exiled yep round two then we put out two artifacts that one lets you draw a card and banish a probably exile card is what they probably that prize called and then the other one is you can upgrade one of your items and gain two coins that's as immediately when you pay for it and then again you can reactivate that later on by paying to do it again by paying a tablet all right okay then you pass the start player marker to me okay and we draw up to five cards okay first thing i'm going to do is activate that site the one that's available without even putting a guy over there i get a arrowhead and a gold coin and it is nikki's turn so i will activate this site i need to pay a car so there's my car i get a gold and an arrowhead nice well i cannot bypass i need to go get some composters myself so i can maybe discover a new site and it is your turn i am going to move my magnifying glass up on the track okay and using the arrowhead is the same one i'm in i do not have a gem to go the other way and i take a gold cool okay well i think i'm going to explore if i can afford to do it here i have two i'll use my card and then two and then i need to get a vehicle to get up there so i will put my explorer uh do i want to get rid of a card or do i want to get another compass uh i spent a car so i can oh i can choose i actually have both so i have a both the ship and that so i have some flexibility i'm going to banish a car i'm going to get exiled a car so i'm coming here i'll take that token that's good i get to flip that over immediately i will dump one of my fear cards yeah now go right here and we put out a site which gives me a tablet and an arrowhead nice and then we put out a monster guardian okay two compasses kampai and a i'm gonna probably get another um i'm probably gonna i can't even deal with it anyway this turn so that is the end of my turn it's your turn nikki p maybe you can maybe some of your cards will let you get those things yeah to fight it i am going to pay a fear of the unknown yeah you're going to go right here and get two tablets and i am done two tablets to pair but dice okay boy so i now need an additional compass to deal with that so what i'm going to do is move my magnifying glass up the next level and i'm red you are and i can upgrade one of my items yipes uh what do i want i can get a ruby well first thing i get is an hourglass compass which i need i don't think you want to do a ruby though especially if you want to go up well exactly i'm thinking i might need to have another arrowhead those are a little more difficult to get so i will do that but gems would be nice though i'll tell you that yep and that is my turn and it's now yours all right i'm gonna buy and this goes away all right bye bye i am gonna buy that oh do i want the gun or do i want the dog that dog is pretty great yes it's a base one though this is pretty fantastic too what does that one do this one is you get to activate a site you're on so you can reactivate that again correct not this turn because it's going to go under my thing and that's and then if it's further ahead you pay three a two compass to activate it four it's believe me i want that one pretty badly too tent is bought and it goes underneath so then this slides down we put a new one out okay well i'm gonna do that i'm gonna buy that card that converts a compass to a um jet to gems put that at the bottom here that is really really fantastic and that is going to come up next round so i'm going to have to figure out how to have compasses okay and it is your turn nikki p oh wait this one is hot air balloon xl this card to put an explorer with a discount of one pilot if discovering a new site you also have a discount of three compasses that's pretty great too okay wow xl means i think it's out of the game too so it's a one-off but that's pretty powerful it reduces the cost of these up to by three and reduces one of the movement things so you'd only need a boat or a car yeah i'm gonna do it so i'll pay the gold on this car sure and one of my gold again it's one off but it's worth it yeah i think so it's cheap it was two gold pickaxe you can invert a compass into a tablet and a arrowhead and i think i'm gonna buy that boom boom so i will take that card put that in my stack and put another one out this is the theo theo delight you get a gold when you play it and you gain one compass for each of your explorers already placed on the board okay that's pretty powerful too this is gonna go away sad all right i am just gonna throw that out to gain the compass yep that's pretty great and then i'm going to buy this card because this gives me three three compasses i just i exiled the card and get three compasses which is pretty great and then this one here is the precision compass buy an artifact with a discount of three compasses include the top card of the artifact deck okay oh meaning it includes the top you can just blind draw one off the top of the deck i think everything is just compasses in that deck all right um but it doesn't say it's exile so it means you can do that more than once that's nice yeah well it's expensive so you want to keep it kind of right i am going to um do this right now and take a card okay are you sure you again it might be good when you have a lot more stuff maybe later yeah because the new wonderful stuff i just i mean particularly as you're getting to the top of this stuff it might be you know to be able to draw some more cards because your deck will be leaner and things like that so i'm passing okay i'm going to overcome the guardian right now because i don't want to deal with i don't want to gain another fear card especially that's going to be two cups here two compass in an arrowhead nice and this will now be a boat so at some point i can use it as a boat that's not very exciting but that's still it's a boat it's a boat and i had passed some other scratch and boat okay so it is your turn again if you have something done and i'm not able to do anything so i will pass so the first thing we're going to do is we're going to return our explorers no bad news here don't get any more fear cards okay and we then shuffle all our cards and put them at the bottom of the deck i am going to get rid of this one because it's a fair right yeah i had completely wiped out my hand i only have four too because it was one of them was a fear i would have liked to i've wiped out my hand but it was a fear and i had already placed both of my adventures so there was nothing to do with it okay then we exiled the two cards next to the moonstat by revolver you're so fantastic i can't believe we let you go then we slide the moonstaff to round three this goes all the way up and three more artifacts two more two more artifacts one well we're already in the third round game's happening almost halfway through i know it's true it's your turn since i'm gonna pass that to you uh you uh will be halfway through actually won't be your channel that's craziness one two three four five okay wow i have too many cards uh okay what you gonna do lady i are we there yet no um you can go to one of these you're going to get an arrowhead and a tablet if you want to do it i'm going to do i'm sad because i'd like to get that one i need a boat boat arrowhead tablet i'm going to move my journal up on the track nice so i will now get my first assistant good deal hmm these are all pretty good this is pretty great though arrowheads seem like they're going to be rough so i'm going to take that one and it is your turn my book needs to move lincoln in order to get some assistance well you got it you got an hourglass and a compass uh it's a do to do compass and an arrowhead they say an hourglass yeah yeah i'm sorry it's very and i get an assistant correct what do you want you get this is you get a compass or a boat when you activate it you get a card if you discard a card so you could probably get rid of the fear or something like that and then this is you get to buy an item or an artifact for one less hmm those are all good do i want i kind of feel like for that great one but this is pretty great too i mean reducing cost is pretty helpful yeah that's on the wrong side i see a gold one over there well dang i i'll i will take the middle one yeah because get rid of some fear no it's not getting rid of fear it only takes it out of your hand temporarily but what it lets you draw an additional card you know what then i want the captain the cat okay i want that one will let you get rid of it i want stuff that one's pretty great too and then if you do it you get a compass when you upgrade it you get a compass and you get to that hexala card okey dokey my turn i have only a couple gold um i really want to explore but let me go well what do i need to go to the next level i need a lot of tablets i will spend a fear to go to this level and get to compass um free action would be to use him and have a boat or a company get a compass still can do things and then active activate a site i'm already on sure already occupy so that gets me a tablet and an arrowhead pretty fantastic i think what i'm gonna also do is do this which lets me take two things and i want a gold and a compass not take two things but take one from one of these bands and then i can actually explore so i want to go and use this card to get here spend the three compass together i was eyeing that spot because it's good because it gets rid of a card and i want to get rid of another fear even though those are valuable i mean it's pretty fantastic and i'm going to come up here with my explorer i get to banish a card or exile a card i will get rid of another fear nice yeah they're not that bad i almost feel like i want one again i may end up getting one right now because i probably won't be able to take care of this um it's the gumming up your deck that's the problem the minus one isn't so bad and i get two compass or i get a free item that doesn't cost me wow you're gonna get the doggers it's already too late in the game for that one to be any good pretty great i mean come on that's activate i get to activate any one of those down below uh gain one compass for each of your wow that's pretty great too the thea delight um they're all expensive oh yeah this is this is the one i want yeah it's for free free yeah what does that do again this one is i get to buy an artifact with a discount of three compasses yeah definitely all right new yep new item is it fabulous it's an axe let you discard a card and get a compass nice your will be mine and it is uh oh and then we put out the guardian guardian okay the monster guardian now i have no longer any boots i guess that's anything and i don't have any of those goods so i'm gonna be taking a fear of this round for sure and now it's your turn well at this point for sure yeah i didn't think of that okay i am going to move up on that track so i'm going to move my book which is an arrowhead and a tablet and then is that what i want to do yes no i can't move my book it has to be mine correct yeah yeah yeah that's what it is magnifying glass magnifying glass okay right i was thinking why didn't i do that i'm like oh that's right i can't do that i'm like i'm not getting what i wanted anyways i wanted another compass anyways and it's my turn right yes okie dokie artichoke you know what i'm going to exile this card kind of wanted to save it for later but yeah it gives me three compass come by compasses okay and it's your turn all right i basically and what i'm setting myself up for is to hopefully do that yeah no i don't think i don't have an arrowhead so i can't well this is one of the free ones so if i put this here and i take an arrowhead correct now i can move my book up there yep and that's an action action action action i need something to get rid of cards so that ladies yeah that's pretty fantastic although i don't need it right now i will be getting one unless i can do something to get rid of it though so i need a boot oh i can do that it's perfectly fine so i'll spend one compass to get a tablet and a arrowhead and it's your turn now wonderful wonderful uh can i move anywhere no i actually don't have very good guardians boons here because i have this one's getting getting rid of a card it's pretty great but this one is just a boat yeah but i mean i'll probably use it at some point uh i am just gonna get rid of a card for a gold okay compasses kill me because i'm like oh i should buy an artifact but i need them for here we're going to lose that one traders coins that's pretty nice well i don't have three compass see these are rough like it's just victory points sometimes too because this just lets you draw a card i mean i i would immediately get to draw a card right now if i were to buy that one so you said that's a free action so i can get rid of another card for another thing so there's another you're still down you still your turn so i will go to this one for the upgrading i will pay the three coins the three compass compasses and i take this yep and i upgrade a tablet to an arrowhead and then flip that over and then i get a new location let's put it out oh right off the bat the gym that's nice and then we put out a guardian which i'm sure i can't deal with oh i didn't pay yeah yeah yeah so there's my payment to move i can't do anything about it okay i mean that was it's another action anyways right okay this is the end well now it's my turn and i'm going to take care of that um guardian so this is my movement the boot and a tablet and an arrowhead yeah again it's not so great but it's five points so i'll take that i now have that you don't get you don't get a fear i have no fear i will be getting a fear yeah that's it so i i pass okay and then i pass as well so the first thing we do is we take our explorers back thankfully we didn't have any guardians left so we're safe no we're not i get a fear you get a fear i'm sorry cutie and i haven't gotten rid of any fear yet so this is bad but whatever okay now i'll take it back right and then we um we uh shuffle all our cards stick them at the bottom of the deck wow i only have three why do i only have three oh i got rid of one and i used a fear but i probably got excel the fear okay my deck is small then we um refresh our assistance oh you know what assistance i'm going to do that i didn't do that but i'm going to spend that one golden yeah might as well yeah and then i refresh it so now we do this yep unfortunately the dog is gone and he's so cute he would be a good fella slides over add two more artifacts i like how it turns into artifacts in instagram i mean that's more important at the end of the game right they're gonna be okay this guy is going to be hunting arrows hunting sofa you get a fear and two arrowheads research with a discount of the gym wow that's pretty great too but it's once but you know could be good but what does it say what's the name of the card that is idol of ara anew okey dokey cool now we uh draw five cards wow i really have a small deck one two three four it is good it's very good lincoln why that you have a small deck oh because you got a lot of uh you got a lot of fear in your hand i did now that was the beginning of the game for me okay it's me so first thing i'm gonna do is i'm going to activate any site and i'm going to get i'm just going to take a gem for that and it is your turn ah nice all right how about i just an easy move i use that totally get rid of a fear yep exiled you are exiled i will use this boot what's that a boot a boot to uh get that for two tablets tablets i will go here i'm going to move and come here i get a gem hey you're going to fight that guardian knife i unleash and it is now your turn i theoretically i'm going to do that i think i have stuffed i am going to move my magnifying glass up on the research track wait i needed that to get there oh okay jump in the gun gun jump oh you know what i'm going to do it here because i want your card so that's that'll get my movement that's used now i have that and so i'll put that back in my hand and that's your turn all right i'm going to paint two tablets and an arrowhead to move my magnifying glass up here yep do to do okie dokie i will spend the boat and an arrowhead to defeat that and then i have another just movement i have now about a car and it is now your turn all right can i move up i could move up i will move up i will spend a gem in a tablet and a tablet and you get to dump a card get rid of that dump a card and get the fear out of my hand and you get another compass and another compass okie doke i need to darn darn darn gonna sound like herman munster okay so i'm going to use well do i do that yes i want to explore or discover new sites so i'm going to spend that that's the vehicle to get me up here i need to have three compass which i do have here plus these two we put out a new site okay this gives me a card take have a tablet yep nice and i get another tablet i get another card yes and another coin and another tablet and a tablet thank you very much and it is your turn no the monster oh yeah the monster comes out uh hey maybe i can do a guardian maybe i can the guardian comes out hey look at that a boot a boot and a gym jam hmm we can't do it now because that's another axe oh yeah you're right good i can think about it yes you can i think i do want to take care of it i mean look i already have three this game okay um here we go i'm gonna use this now get a free card and get a free card that's good you have two in your hand that's helpful and why not activate a site you're already on so i will get two more tablets that's nice i will spend a boot essentially there plus a gem to deal with that wow that is crazy how many of those i got that turn i know and it is now your turn okay i am going to go to pierce france this location and get a gold and an arrowhead okay so i'm going to use my precision compass i get to buy an artifact with the discount of three compasses so nice take that one yep and i immediately get to research with the uh just kind of one gem all right so i think i guess it just goes into my discard we haven't really done these yet this goes to here i get another tablet and i get another researcher uh because you moved up yeah this discount's pretty great too i guess i'll just take this one this lets me wait yeah that's fine okay it is now your turn okay wow look at that boot becomes an arrowhead if you had any fear in your hand or any card any movement card that's pretty great too we're both full though i'm gonna move up the research track so that's two with my book yep so you get to flip over one of those cards here here um this one gets me a compass and gets when you when you do that it also refreshes it so if you choose that one to do it will you can use it again this time oh okay except this is pretty great once it goes over what does it do when it's flipped over i can get a coin and a compass or i can get to boat nice which two boat to vote i think i will upgrade my captain before you do that though just activate it and take a compass sure i will then flip it over then i'll take the upgrade yep and it will re it'll refresh oh all right so it's refreshed even yeah and you can do it again you haven't done anything so oh you did this i did that okay well it's still free you can get another compass and a gold coin if you want i'll do it use it okay cool i still can do things here i'm just trying to decide whether it's worth it i can get my hourglass up and i probably should so i will spend two i'll do this get an arrowhead spin two tablets and move my hourglass up and get a free compass and it is your turn this is a tiger claw hairpin sure so if i discard a card i can activate activate an unoccupied one of these i think it's not even a discard i think it's exiling a card yeah exile yeah so you can exile your when your fear cards i'm gonna do that because it's also two points for the end of the game and i haven't been buying enough cards so you don't have to remember saving stuff for this is important too four compasses yep that is a monkey medallion gain a art item gain an item and place it on top of your deck nice okay and that's two points two points yep okay it's my turn and i will i can occupy the same space as you and it would be cheap uh i'm going to do that so first i will do this actually you know what i'm not going to do that nikki p okay that arrowhead i'm going to do this to convert that coin into an airhead that i spent then that way i can i still have that option sure i need to flip those over on the points too you want to try to keep these points good then i'm going to upgrade to the next spot where you're at unfortunately i would love to get one of those artifacts i mean those items yeah i think i followed behind you on one of those two i would have liked to have been able to go the other way i get another compass okay nikki p is your turn again okay did you have any of those monster things you wanted um guardians you wanted to do to use yeah not yet i don't have i haven't got a fear another fear card yet okay uh i am gonna pay two coins to buy the axe okay can i ask you a question i'm not gonna do the true jim carrey one uh carry pigeon it's a quick action to get um two tablets it's a fast action okay um it's my turn again i think i'm done uh let me think about it next level is i'm not gonna get that so um it is your turn again i'm passing oh pass pass i'm gonna i'm gonna just take a coin i think unless i can make something work for that research truck for my book oh unless you use some of these yeah you could do that yeah you could spend or your book yeah or i can move my our hourglass magnifying glass back up one yeah and i can um you have to convert use your card to convert the gold coin that you have in your hand if that's what you have yeah use that to convert to a gem yep put that over the spot just to jam me up play it that way and then go because you can do it yeah move my magnifying up you get another compass oh yeah and this goes away right yep you get a cup yeah i took no you get it you also get a compass because you have not only it was you moved up there okay so you have two compasses yeah okey-dokey uh it is your turn again i pass uh you could buy this and get a free card right now i don't know if it's valuable it could be i'll do it one two okay and this goes i draw it right now but i go okay here this is that one hmm i should have done the sundial i have the compass to do that but it's do you want to just do it because if it's going to go it's going to go away this turn right hmm do i need tabs i do need it i'm going to do that thank you for letting me do that and i'll put that there and that immediately gives me two tablets i have to spend a tablet to do that again which is not so bad if that comes up okay because then i'd have three tablets uh let's replenish sure you actually have another card here that you could have chosen from since i'm doing that but go ahead do that and then you can look at it in other words you know the one you took it'd let you draw a card that's okay this one's great though the car um but uh i can't use it right now okay you passing pass okay so we take our explorers back there are no guardians out there are no guardians lincoln's just the guardian master you are and then we shuffle up our cards refresh any assistance you have both years that can be refreshed okay refresh refresh then we excel the two cards sadly this one goes which is pretty rad this moves over here and we add two more artifacts this one is the passage shell and you take an explorer to one of these campsite for free you may activate it twice instead of once that's nice yeah uh and this one is normally great earlier in the game yeah it's one of those cards ornate hammer this one yeah uh you exile the right most item yeah the only one we have left and you gain an item from the exile deck and you put it on the bottom of your draw uh pass this to you okay and we draw five cards it starts with you all right hey we got to take these off too yeah yeah yeah thankfully no monsters no guardians and it is your turn go for it okay i am going to pay yeah pay a boat to place my explorer here and get two two compass that's cool i'm going to uh do this quick action here a fast action i'm going to draw another card okay your turn i'm stuck this turn and this is the last turn yeah last round yeah yeah we didn't we kind of did a lot more exploration in here yeah i will uh use the hot air balloon i will use this card as one of the three compasses to get up to this area okay there you go that works and then i will use my c captain for the two boat well remember you already have one there do you have another cheap well you can do that of course but what am i talking about that's what you still need one more it's it's one of the explorations uh costs i'm okay okay and then there is one of the boats okay where are you going gets me uh well i spent boats so i got to go somewhere around here i have nothing to upgrade is that sad or what uh i will go there i will take that yeah you can't banish a card you need to do it right now yeah and i don't want to banish this card now we put up a level two hey the first one finally oh look at that nick you're gonna like that one that's an owl in the rock it gives you two tablets and a ruby all right this could be helpful the nikki goes to al rock remember owl rock okay so now you need an airplane remember you can always spend two gold for that and an arrowhead to banish that to uh but that has to be my next turn overcoming even if if i had right yeah not now okay now it's my turn well let me see here uh i have one oh i can activate any site let me do that i will goodness i guess i'll do that i'll take i'll activate this site and take a gems a gem gemmas and it's your turn all right um this is going to be weird but i'm going to pay a tablet in a gym move my book up one here yep upgrade this lady yep i don't want to use that thing there we go i think that i'm not going to do any more exploring i'm going to try to just work here so i will spend one exploration to gain a tablet and an arrowhead and now it is your turn uh i am going to put one of my idols yeah just flip that over because you you weren't able to exploit that use it yep and take an arrowhead get in there which i figured that is that that's a free one that's free action so now you can do your thing so now i'm gonna fight this guy yay yay i'm gonna use this fabulous card for the flight yep and the arrowhead i just got yep and now i got him and i can discard a card but i have no cards so here we go well let's see what i can do here i need to move my hourglass up first thing i will do is i think i'm going to be doing the basic stuff down here i need hourglass i need at least an hourglass and i might do the gold in the hourglass so let me first do that i'm going to do put one here i get a golden hourglass hey look there's a golden an hourglass sitting over here in together when they shouldn't be then i will upgrade from here to here my hourglass that cost me a gold and a gem gems we're back to nine and then i gain a compass i'm gonna have lots of compasses again i kind of didn't want to do that then have you pas it's your turn i i did my thing okay i haven't passed yet uh i have my two assistants so i'm gonna just take what they offer so that for him it is a gold and a compass those are those are for quick actions so fast action and then yep you get another compass get another compass i will not do the other half of her thing and then i'm probably i can't get any further on that track because i need gems and i just right now you could pay a gold well i not what am i talking i got one more you could pay a gold there to get it might not be enough of a game what are you gonna it's only a three point gain you don't want to do it it's three point you're going to lose four points by doing that right now you have seven points afterwards you'll have three plus three of six okay so it's not worth doing that i am passing so i will i'm trying to get this guy as far as i can forward i will spend i will activate that to give one compass to get a gem i think i don't know if i got to do that more than once but it's pretty awesome and then your turn and you're done i'm done then it's my turn again let me see let's just move nick make the next move up boy i have a crud of you know what i need to go this way and it lets me draw a card that might be good probably not so i spend two tablets and an arrowhead and i go here i get to draw a card which is cool i guess hey that's not so bad well it is it's not great um this is this is the pay to get uh and you pass so i will do that i pay to get two let me just take two back okay uh i mean it's a gain of one right it's worth it i need it for this stuff um boy am i gonna make it i don't wanna pay one tablet and pass to get another ruby no because i'm trying to get here i need to get another i have the opportunity to i have a couple of things here so first thing i'm going to do is uh wow do i want to move oh i have lots of movement i can get a free gem right now so let's do that first thing i need though is i believe i need i'm going to need an arrowhead one more arrowhead so i will go here i get an arrowhead then did you pay a boot uh i did not you know what that is absolutely the truth too oh but you know what any of these work so i will first do the car then i will pay the airplane i don't think i'm unless i vanish i'm not going to go something fresh i'll do the airplane to come here and gain another gem yeah gems then let's see what i can do here then i'm going to go two tablets in an arrowhead that's not a good way to go i will do oh i'm already there i do a gem and a tablet to go here and again did i get that i did get that free card and i get it compass and then i need to go one more level and i don't have gold so but one more level's a big jump right it's 16 to 23. so i will do it are you gonna pay an idol yep unfortunately my last idol you had actually more idols than i did this game um didn't do me a lot of good and i will take a gold and and compass and and compass then i'll go to the next level which is a gold compass and a gem and that moves me here yes and i get a tablet which is nice i'll take a tablet maybe i can do some stuff here uh then boy i need more gold to do this move your book up oh yeah maybe that whether it gave me two more points for the book and you could upgrade one of your people which which lets me draw another card let's do that yeah it's kind of scary this cyclone of events here yep okay so i move my book up one it only gains me one point i get to upgrade that which refreshes that and then i will draw a card yeah i'll activate it and draw a card it's probably nothing that's gold why'd you flip it i'm supposed to exhaust it that's right and then is that card great no okay uh i don't even let me see yeah i think was that it was one there was one more no no it's okay there's one more good one down there but it's a it's a gold gold might be good so i won't gain i gained one point this would have been two points that's what i was thinking of doing mm-hmm um how about buying a three company i i absol i have a card to actually get a discount on that so oh wow uh well what gives me something good here right well that's two points that's two points and that's two points i think that's really the only thing you want to look at yeah the downers this one you i don't think you get those goods you just put it on your top of your deck you could get three points out of this because you get two for buying this card and then you get to go take a card from sure the exile so you're getting more points sure well this is three for two right here as well and it refreshes again so i will do that that's three and i'll take this it lets me refresh one of these which i'll do again do you have another great card you're trying to get to there no i mean i i know what it is i i saw what it was because i peeked which i shouldn't have but um and this should have been flipped over i don't know what i'm doing i got hit i'm moving this okay yeah i've got i've got a card that lets me buy an additional one so there you go and that ain't it that's a one so i just want to see the exiles if there was a two-pointer in here nope just a one-pointer they are all one points okay well they don't i haven't seen many that are worth much but there must be some i mean there's a huge deck of them um oh i can do one blind off the top of the artifact deck should i yeah let's just do it it's it's a it's just count of three if it's a three i'm lucky if it's not i'm in trouble so you have to buy it i think so hey it's two and i get a fear and a gym i'll take that though okay uh wow okay so i have a fear i have a way to get rid of that as a matter of fact right now oh wait this goes on the bottom of my deck so i don't have i will have a minus one too bad okay and um i will pay one gem to get a two temple tab tile which is okay and that goes somewhere around here and i have two gold left what can i do i could buy that it's one point and it would give me two tablets which might be something i need another one need another gold yes i do which i don't think i have you could maybe get that one oh wait i do i have it on my talk oh no cause i have two cards here um it's two point it's a point so let's just spend these two take that okay put that there well it goes in the bottom of your deck yeah oh yeah that's right you don't get it you don't get anything it just goes at the bottom of the deck that's okay it's a point it's a point and then we put a new one out that one would let you discard oh that one's that's what you want right there that's what you want earlier in the game the grappling hook that was play a card without any without doing anything with it and then get another car draw a card and an exile a card i think that i am done i've done everything i can do i have no more goals sure yes can you get do you want to exile a card at the fear i can't i'm going to lose that point that's okay so let's uh score it all up all right we don't actually have the sheets so since this is a pre-production copy yeah but first thing we do is the research research track so i have 23 plus two so 25 okay and you have nine plus four so uh 13. all right that's the research track yep then we do um if we got any tiles oh really okay well i have two for that temple tiles this one okay i got nothing two points two okay then the idols i get nine 13 points you get 16 points because this okay yep three plus four plus three okay then we do the guardians that we have okay so i have ten okay and i have uh four for twenty then we do our cards okay well that's the whole pile and you subtract for the the fear as well yeah of course well right off the bat that carrier pigeon i got just got dumped again so that doesn't count for anything those don't count for a hill of beans so that you could exile the funding cards too and things like that all right so that's 1.1 points so i'm going to negate it that way here okay nine points for me okay lincoln's got nine and i got seven well cool that's cards and then our totals all right so lincoln you got 69 wow you're the winner and i got 46. oh okay well boo what do you think of this one nick it's a struggle actually um the balancing act is crazy yeah we had so we had played this once before yes we did yeah it took really grasp it and this track was way more dynamic way my turn was sort of like the one i had yeah because i went i although i had advanced further this time we both knew to like move keep moving along on that but you stalled um not getting the good you needed i did and i did a lot more in the other game of the trading out and everything that you just saw lincoln do in this game um we both did more of that uh but this time we did more exploring um and i think for me that's why i wasn't able to really get high on that track because i was spending to do more dig sites which was exciting to see more of these i think you just probably didn't additionally have the cards because these will get you those things you need to go to those sites i think your final your round previous to this where you had i think you had to do some of these down here was not as beneficial so you didn't get quite as much you want to go for these although you know it it's a different mix of these cards too that come up right um i don't remember if we did any more of these previously only i reached out i think before maybe you did too um i think we had two of them in the last game that we got up there but this was like there was maybe one or two the crazy thing is i think we were short on compasses this game yeah although i did buy quite a few of the uh uh artifacts i bought four artifacts i mean you know that one discount thing is pretty great i would have loved that a lot earlier in the game um but uh it's pretty awesome this one would have been great here to research with a discount of uh of a gem i mean i did that earlier when i had that opportunity but i just used it as i think movement when i used it in the game um at least i hope so i can't wait until we can play this with more people i really want to see how how all of this ends up with even just three people playing it but i enjoy um that you have to think about if you want to even reveal this um and then the the guardian guardian will come out because when you do it as your second placement of an explorer you might get stuck getting a fear because you don't have that second turn to get rid of right well that one that i got that last year i got was i was because i um took one of those cards but i generally was able to cope with overcoming the guardians most of the time i think that the game is really awesome i really love that there are only two explorers there's only so much you can do on your turn with them these other cards i had that card that let me go to a you know to use a space activate activate any site whether it was uh you know in this zone without having an explorer there that would that would give you more when you have when you only have those two explorers uh it's tough and it's definitely a balancing act you you want to try to load i mean this here is also important you know not overdoing it on these so i'm losing three points but i'm gaining right i use that to come up this track here that's where i think you're gonna do that right yeah i had the um tiger claw with but it let me go down here yeah and then i had the hot air balloon well that only let you do that once right so you would need to spend a tablet later on it's not quite worth it and this one gets you do it once and it's it's exiled it's out right okay yeah there was another one that let you do there was when i was making that choice there were like three cards there that let you do one was the base camp one was here and then one i think let you do up here but you would spend it might have been that car no i don't think it was a hot air balloon uh it was going to be one of these uh no it was this one was choose two different options which is banish a card or xl card and then or and then one of the other three things a gold compass or a tablet okay um this one was activate any occupant base site that was great though too that coming up um this one was kind of a drag right it was only one but you got three compass this one was the one i was sad to see go though was the revolver because it's just you just use one compass and you uh overcome the um guardians right it's pretty challenging you know i didn't exile this one oh that's right so you're actually one more point behind gave myself an extra point so i'm really 45. okay well not bad so there's the catch for a really good card like that yeah well that was a lot i did this i did the same thing on the one that i dumped here the um the uh the three compasses right it was this it was a single point for three compasses you know one goal then a single point uh it's not that's not cheap yeah but you know i think compasses are really valuable in this game clearly we didn't have as much flexibility it would have been nice to get up here and this one here if we could just get your journals up high yeah there's good things to be had it's just way harder for whatever reason because you need to focus on this being up ahead um and it's clearly more lucrative if you can do it uh this ended up being 25 points with this additional tile here i do really love it and the art for this game is really gorgeous it's really not super challenging it's just a little bit of upkeep worry that you have to make sure you've taken care of i i think that they did a really wonderful job with this game there is uh i think we have the tiles over there there is a solo version of this game there is where it's essentially like what we've just played but you're playing the ai and the ai has i don't know exactly what these do but you put you flip those other cards that um these you would be flipping them and this is would be what the player is the ai player is doing and then if there's some decisions to be made these are left and right pointing so it would be the i guess it'd be the top of the draw pile that lets you know what which way you're choosing um plus this is the the ai player is always the start player so you have to be now they're not going to be making is probably a tactical move uh as they would i'm sure they won't be making his tactical move but i bet you it's pretty challenging it's probably a tough puzzle and then on the other side of the board we have a lot to move yeah it's not that big of a deal but there's another version of the game that you can play yeah where it is um where it's all those are the fear uh it's more a little bit tougher there's different values to move up the track you you're also going in because an expedition failed boy that is a lot of stuff we're pulling out there's a lot just to move uh an expedition failed and it didn't make it you're gonna be recovering assistance and other stuff i haven't really looked at it oh we don't have to pull this over two boards so yep we're okay i think that's up until there okay ready yep oh yeah this is stormier version here yeah this is bad but yeah the costs are different here this is instead of getting another assistant that's further down the line uh you can banish or you exile a card you get two gold so it's not quite the same right there's no exploration tiles here maybe because thematically it's another um it's a uh it's already been explored there's an expedition that's gone through here already and failed notice you need airplanes here oh my specifically you need two boots so things are a little bit more challenging check games make some complicated games and they also make some easier games this one is really middle for me it's not very hard it's just it's it's accounting right so some people have a little bit of trouble with that i and it's it slows the game down for sure um and that's okay because it's really quite easy you're only doing one thing on your turn it's pretty obvious now if you have a bunch of cards in your hand you're never gonna have more than five or a few more if you have some ways to gain an additional card but usually to do some of that like this one for me i had to get rid of a car i had to play a car without using its effect to be able to gain another card my deck being as thin as it was was probably pretty good because look i mean i had a lot of good things in my hand the actually the only bad things which aren't bad are the compasses and the um the funding and the exploration cards uh but i really think they did a great job with this and it is really gorgeous i mean look at them uh i know snake snake that's i didn't even get to look at the other guy it was a dragon or something like that no no it's a bird some kind of a bird maybe a cottle or something it's not yeah oh yeah it's it's like it doesn't burn a prey i don't think i think it's a temple right that's what it is it's a temple that is that sculpture i mean of that bird so the other one must be a snake i guess yeah like a temple snake although that looks like it's actually a snake maybe climbing a temple i don't know the other one looks like the bird is part of the temple um yeah it's really fantastic i want to play this again absolutely i want to i do want to play with more players i i guess the maybe we can be played online i don't know i've not we've not played any very very little very little online stuff it's not really my forte uh we like the interaction well additionally i'm also in front of a computer all the time so the last thing i kind of want to do is get in front of a computer yes um but yeah it really is really well done thanks for teaching lincoln absolutely and thanks to you for watching if you like this video hit the thumbs up button and consider
