Rococo Deluxe - Playthrough & Review

hi everyone my name is moani and i'm naveen from before you play and today we have another playthrough for you this time it is for one that was voted on by our patreon community called rococo the deluxe edition yes this one is designed by three different designers matthias kramer and both stefan and louis maltz and it's published by now eagle griffin games for this deluxe edition yeah so this game was originally released um a few years ago now i don't remember the end of 2013 something like that and then now it has been re-released with this new deluxified edition that has new artwork and upgraded components in a much bigger box much bigger and so as per usual we're going to start with a teach of the game then go into a full two-player playthrough and then discuss our thoughts at the very end and so if you're interested in jumping around we'll include timestamps down below once again thank you so much to our patreon community for voting for this game because now we are going to be playing it and if you do like these kind of videos and you want to see more in the future please consider subscribing all right we are ready to begin so if you please drop your attention to the center of the table we're all set up here for our two-player game of rococo deluxe this is the new deluxified board with the the new colorful artwork and this is also the two-player side of the board by the way so just to kind of give the lay of land you know in this game we're playing as uh owners of our own tailoring company so we're going to make clothes as you can see here we have several different types of resources and these are going to come in the form of a garment material of different colors like cloth yes so we're going to be uh collecting these in order to turn them in to make garments these clothes are either going to be sold or they're going to be rented to people who want to attend this ball in this big out of this palace or something it's definitely a palace oh yeah yeah the palace has five different halls as you can see here and these are where we are going to be putting out uh clothes well this is really where people are going to be visiting and standing to look out the window they're going to be snoozing and then of course at the very very end of the game we're going to have a fireworks display and it's going to be whoever has the most points wins right and so a game of rococo is played over the course of seven rounds each round we're going to be playing cards from our hand in order to take actions and then uh basically at the end of the game whoever has most points wins it's not super heavy it's uh fairly straightforward so let's talk about the specifics of a round now like i said the game is played over seven rounds each round is divided into four different phases the very first thing that happens in each round is just a little bit of setup so we're gonna skip that for now because it just has to do with putting out more of these cards and garments and materials etc once setup is done then we move into the next phase and during this phase what you're going to do is you're going to pick up your hand of cards and each player starts with the exact identical hand and your hand basically represents the different types of employees that you have in your business there are three different colors and these colors represent their experience levels right so we have gold which i believe are the master masters the masters so they can do anything the pros the silver ones are called journeymen and the bronze ones are apprentices and the the difference between the three different colors is basically which types of actions that they can take which we'll talk about in a second and so during this phase we are going to simultaneously select three of these workers from our hand in secret and those are the three workers that you're going to be playing during the action phase you don't have to decide which order you're going to play them in right now but you do have to decide the three that you'll be playing yes you'll be playing one by one back to back uh kind of going around robin if it's multiplayer then once everyone's chosen their three cards we move into the next phase which is just taking actions and so on your turn you're going to be selecting one of the three employees from your hand to play and so say it's my turn and i were to play this card then i would first take one of the six main actions that i'm allowed to take with an apprentice which you can also choose not to take by the way all these main actions are optional but once you've finished either resolving an action or skipping it then you also get to take whatever the bonus effect is at the bottom of the card sub cards especially the um the master cards don't have a special effect because it's such a powerful card but most of them do so in this case i would get two coins from the supply as well the first type of action you can take is over here and this is just uh hiring more employees now this is the only type of action that requires specifically a master which is the gold card and so the way that that works is you would play specifically a mastercard and then you would go over here and choose which card to to hire the amount that you have to pay in coins is dependent on how many cards are still there at the time of your choosing and that is going to be a common theme throughout the rest of the actions and so in this example if there are four cards all face up it's gonna cost you five coins to hire one when you hire a card you're going to take it into your hand immediately so that you can play it this round and this is not refilled so now if somebody else were to go there there are only three cards left it's only going to cost three coins to take a card so in that respect timing is kind of important you know if you don't have enough money then you may want to wait a little while if it doesn't really matter to you which card you're going to hire right right and just the way you remember that the master is the only one that can take this action there's little thimbles here denoting that the bronze or the apprentice or the silver cannot take these actions here now you can also fire your employees and that is not an action i don't think it's denoted on the board ah no and anybody can take that action you just have to spend a card to do it and then you fire that employee and when you fire an employee there's a certain amount of money at the bottom left-hand corner of the card you get that immediately so that might be a nice way to get you out of a pinch or if you'd like to thin your deck because this is still technically a deck builder and that action is denoted on your player board right here as well as all the other different actions you can take yes the next type of action is taking the queen's favorite token which is right here and only a master or a journeyman which is a gold or silver can take this action as you can see it says that bronze x when you take this action you immediately get to take five coins from the supply so it's a nice way to get some money but it also is the only way that first player will rotate right so if you take this at the start of the next round during that setup phase then you get the first player marker and you get to go first also whoever has this token at the very very end of the game is going to get three prestige points which are the victory points in the game so that is the queen's favorite token and of course if it's not on the board anymore because somebody took it then you can't take that action yeah it's a one-time action every single round the next two types of actions in the game are how you actually put together these different dresses over here you can acquire resources or materials and then over here you can actually construct or build those different types of dresses so this top row action here any employee can go here to do this so you can use your apprentice all the way up to your masters and it's very very similar in the way that the pricing works that the uh employee hiring kind of worked you have three different drawers and this little table over here tells you exactly how much it's going to cost to acquire one of these resource tokens so if a drawer has all three of the resources in here it's going to cost you two per if there's only two then it's one and if it's only one left over then it's free you can take it into your supply but when you take this action it's important to remember you're only taking one resource that's right you're not able to take you know several in one action it's just one you choose one drawer and you choose one resource right and when you choose a resource so say it's my turn and i were to purchase this one i have to decide immediately if i want to keep it for the two blue garments or if i want to discard it for whatever it says at the bottom which this tile specifically says either lace or thread which is a different type of resource that you may need in order to make these dresses so if i choose to keep the tile the deluxe version of the game comes with these uh these trays where you can put your tile in there and easily look at them because you're going to need to refer to them whenever you're trying to make dresses but you also want to keep it a secret from your opponents alright so maybe you have some resources available and now you want to start making some clothes the next type of action you can take is down here and this is tailoring a garment and so as you can see here the only person who's not allowed to take this action is the bronze the bronze type of employee but the way that this works is each type of garment here has a certain price listed underneath and that is the amount of money you have to pay to the bank in order to make this garment and so if you take a look at the anatomy of a garment tile so let's say i take something like this this garment in order to make it you have to have two pink uh resources as well as one green and a spool or the thread and a spool of thread yeah yeah so this is gonna require several of these resources in order to make it i would pay the amount i would pay all of these resources to the supply and then i would have to make a decision when you tailor a garment you can either choose to sell it or you could rent it out if you choose to sell it then you would get money from the bank equal to whatever it says at the bottom so in this case it would be 11 coins that is a nice way to make quick money but you're not going to be scoring any points for any garments made this way alternatively you can choose to rent it out to somebody who's going to be attending this ball and if you were to choose to do that then you would flip it over to the side that shows the person who's renting out this outfit yeah and then you would choose one of the five halls to place it in so as you can see some uh of these spaces give you an immediate benefit so if i were to place this person right there then i would immediately get um the spool from a supply if i had to place it here i would get two coins from the supply some of these spaces require you to have played a master employee when taking that action in order for you to place it onto one of those spots similarly some of the garments in this row also have that gold symbol at the very top and that means you have to have played a master employee in order to just construct this garment and any uh garments that are placed in these halls at the end of the game will score you the number of points listed on the token itself so this is going to get me two points i would place my token on top of it to show that it belongs to me right now at the end of the game each haul is going to be um kind of like an area control scoring at the very right hand side over here you can see how many points each person is going to get if i have the most number of garments that belong to me in this hall i'm going to get five points and second most gets two points and that number of points is going to vary depending on the hall right this hall in particular is considered the royal hall and this is going to work a little bit differently in terms of this firework scoring which we'll talk about in a second but that is why it is also worth the most amount of points and that's essentially it for um constructing or tailoring garments uh at the beginning of each round during setup we are going to remove the the rightmost two garments as long as they haven't been constructed and that way all of these garments will slide down and they get cheaper from around round to round and finally the last type of action is funding a decoration so this is a it's kind of like the strangest type of action in my opinion but useful yeah any employee can do this doesn't matter the color when we say decorations uh they're kind of they're decorations and statues kind of littered all over the board each hall has a musician which is a person kind of standing at the right most here there are three different statues that are found over here there are also some stuff in the kitchen and then there are these fireworks displays in order to find a decoration you pay whatever the price is for that decoration it's usually very expensive so in this case it's going to cost you 17 coins to place your token here and now this decoration belongs to you it's going to get you four points at the end of the game the decorations in the different halls are also going to serve as sort of like a second tiebreaker for the majority scoring in the hall because at the end of the game if there's a tie the first tiebreaker is going to be whoever has the most in the master spaces and then the second tiebreaker is going to go to whoever has the decoration and so that is how the decorations work in all of the five halls in addition to those we have these statues and the the kitchen area the statues are going to get you additional points at the end of the game depending on how many different colors of garments you've rented out on the board so you would look at all the garments you printed out at the very end of the game and it's going to be i believe two points per different color in addition to the points that you get for the statue itself but these are expensive like 20 coins 30 coins right yeah um the kitchen area here is specifically for income so after the actions phase we're gonna go into an income phase where everybody gets a base amount of five coins every round this is the only way to increase the amount of income you get it's a little bit difficult to do each person can only purchase one decoration from each side of the kitchen and so if i've purchased a decoration on this side of the kitchen um during the next phase i'm gonna get one coin for each uh decoration i have funded right and so that's that's in addition to my five coins the right side of the board here gives you one coin for each garment rental you have on the board and the last type of decoration you can purchase are these fireworks displays up here and so this is gonna be uh this is gonna go hand in hand with the garments that you've rented out in the royal hall at the end of the game if i've if i've purchased a decoration say i purchased uh this one and i have a garment rental uh that's in the royal hall for each of these firework spots that i have purchased in the balcony at the end of the game i can move one of these garments from the royal hall into that spot and it's kind of it's basically like the person who's rented out my garment is now watching the fireworks display from the balcony which means for some reason they're more valuable and this is going to change the this is going to give you a multiplier on the amount of points you get for that person so this is 2x all the way to 3x up here if you pay the the most amount of money which means if you purchase multiple of these spots here make sure you have multiple rentals in the royal hall so that you can move them all up into the fireworks display and that's pretty much it for actions the one thing that we didn't mention is there is an all halls bonus that you get for being the first person to have a a rental in in all five halls and that can be found up here it's gonna be six points for the first person two points for the second and then once everybody's done taking their actions for the round which is typically uh three or four actions on average can be five can be five depending on how many employees you hired that round but once everybody passes that signals the end of the absence phase you go into income and like i said everybody has a base value of five income during that phase and then you rinse and repeat and you start over with the next round the game is played over the course of seven rounds so once the seventh round is done then we go into end game scoring at that point you're going to trade in all of your money for points it's ten coins for one point so it's not a very good uh a ratio there this is why the decorations are nice because some places you see like eight to two you know thirteen two four right like nine nine coins for two points is way better than twenty coins for two points exactly some employee cards will also get you points and you'll score them at that time and those are most likely the later on later game because the employee deck is actually stacked from level one through six so they get sweeter as the game goes on you'll score the majorities in each of the halls and you'll also score the majorities in the fireworks so i didn't i didn't mention that but there's a majority there you'll then admire the fireworks which is that whole thing where where whoever has purchased these get to move up the garments you'll do the statue scoring and then the last thing is you score all of your decorations and as well as the all halls bonus and whoever has most points at that point wins and of course whoever has this at the end of the game also gets three points so that is pretty much it that is how you play rococo we are going to get cleaned up and then get started with our playthrough okay so we have reset the board we have to figure out who is going to be going first he's vincent dawn yes okay what do you want uh i'll take evens okay one two three all right i get the thimble that means she's always first player unless i take that one special action yeah but it gets me five it gives you five coins yes it's not so bad all right um all right well we're gonna get started with round one there's seven rounds as a reminder and uh we've already done all of the pre-setup so now we're gonna choose three cards all right i'm ready same yeah yep so the two that we didn't select will stay in the draw pile and the other ones are gonna be going out soon yep and we also start the game with 15 coins as well as one of each of the uh lace and like a spool of thread yeah the lacing thread all right so are you ready yeah so you're first okay actions phase the first thing i'm gonna do is i'm gonna hire an employee so i'm gonna go ahead and play my uh my the gold the gold the master the master i need to remember that um and this is not gonna have any benefit because the masters that we have at the start of the game don't have any benefit yeah but uh it's gonna cost you five bucks because it's a full uh house full of employees i'm gonna discard my card here's the five okay and i'm going to hire another master master yeah so anybody you hire go straight into your hand so that you can use them again um for a future action this round right all right so that's it to you very very good and this master by the way gets me a coin every time every time i play them yeah and uh just so you know we can clarify some of these ones that are already here uh we have two silver and one bronze and the silver ones this one allows you to pay one coin to take a um a garment that's all right it's a resource sorry from the bag random randomly this one is a silver one that allows you to take this action again which is purchasing a resource so technically not again because you could have taken a different action and then used this to be like okay now i'm taking that action that's true that is a good this this thing this just allows you to take that action right and then this last one the bronze one is uh a free resource from the bag you're so bad yeah it's pretty good all right well see i made it cheaper for you you did you know i like the idea of having a silver so i'm now that you made it cheaper i will uh spend this okay to take the same exact action over here and i want this one i want the one that is going to be silver that's going to cost me a buck to take something free from the bet so all right uh can i get two change please yes and there's no benefit here at this middle section and then i will take this and now this person now is employed by me it's back to me and i could technically how much would it be to hire another person uh it would be one i don't know getting a resource for free from the bag is nice especially early i am gonna do that i'm gonna um i'm gonna play my other that the newly acquired uh or hired uh mastercard here doesn't get me a coin but first i'm gonna use this card to hire this employee okay so how much is it it's one it's going to cost one yep okay which you're going to get another one that's true so i'm going to keep the 10 because i don't want to make change per night and the reason is because monique's mastercard has one coin on it so she would have to spend one but then she acquires one again right all right so i'm gonna go ahead and hire them and they go straight into my hand that was nice i mean if you hire that last person it's free yeah if i have another gold card yes that's true okay so i'm gonna play the card that i just hired okay the gentleman i just hired and i'm gonna take the action that gets me first i know i'm doing it so that's gonna get me five points for just taking this action there you go and then um because i played this one i will take its benefit which is going to be pay a buck yep to let the bag decide my fate which bag is it here this one it is the resources resources so when you draw it you have to decide in that moment if you'd like to keep it for the actual uh resource or if you'd like to turn it in for whatever it says at the bottom correct all right it's like lace or something i will probably keep it i will keep it for what it is oh secrets so that's gonna go on his uh tile rack so that he can kind of refer to it but also keep it away yeah so i have it kind of off here it'll be my secret there we go all right all right so back to me and i think we're playing a game of chicken because nobody wants to pay full price i don't want to pay full price even though it's only two bucks versus one but so then i'm gonna play this card so this is a bronze employee and i'm gonna take the action that allows me to purchase uh these resources and afterwards i'll be able to do it again so i was projecting earlier yes i like that combo yeah so i'm choosing this drawer and the first because they're all full you know i have to pay two coins to do this and so i'm gonna buy that that blue the blue one and i'm assuming you're gonna buy it for keeping the resources yeah and not for the bottom correct i would like to keep the the i'd like to keep the actual resource so i took eight and this is this is mine now very good and then i'm gonna take the action again because that is what uh my card said and now it's only one coin but i'm to choose this door again and i'm going to take this and so i'm going to turn this in this doesn't have any uh garment color attached attached to it i have to turn it in for one of each so this is going to go back in the bag i have one of each piece uh one of each yes so you said no to the red one huh no there's nothing nothing interesting it shows red for the future i mean there's this but this is gonna go away at the end it is yeah you know you had two golds and this one requires a gold master to make it could have been straight up 15 bucks cash yeah i i went a little out of order there yeah and i may or may not have spent my last call to play i'm not i'm not going to say but that's the end of my turn so that's to you okay i think i just need to get more resources we have some dresses that need to be made and this is only round one so in round two i need to make some so okay let's go ahead and i'm gonna use this apprentice which is gonna get me two bucks eventually okay uh and so we're gonna go and let's go ahead and pick up i'm gonna pick up this one okay okay so it's gonna cost me two bucks yeah so let's say i pay the two bucks which would come on there and get it back and get it back nothing exactly great so you use so you're taking it for the resource it was too pink i'm keeping it yep i almost didn't see it sneaky all right back to me yeah all right well i'm gonna go back here again because uh my other employee here is also an apprentice and so i i might as well go into this sweet drawer that naveen left me with because it's only gonna cost one coin okay i'm gonna do it i'm gonna pay a coin and i'm gonna take this one the double blue and i'm gonna keep it for what it is okay and the benefit on the card lets me take one from the bag for free okay so this is a nice way to start building up uh my supplies early i think it's resources oh yeah i have to remember which ones are good yeah that's a good one later than you needed it's amazing so you're keeping it for the resource oh yeah all right last card i think you have one more card right one more all right so last card is going to be this uh silver worker and what i'm going to go ahead and do is i'm going to go right back here and get more resources okay i think i will take this one for free yeah that's pink one for free and i'm gonna keep it uh the bottom here says i can spend one coin to gain either one lace or a spool so let's go ahead and spin that coin okay and i'm most likely gonna get a spool i think yeah all right so that's that's me yeah all right so back to me for my final uh actions i only have one card left in my hand and my last card is another apprentice and so this one's gonna gain me uh two coins but for the main action i'm gonna take this last resource for free yeah it's red there's not much i mean this is the only thing that's red and it's going away so that means like a higher probability most likely reds come in hopefully later so i'm gonna hold on to it and i get the two coins two points for the card very good which one's twos yeah i know the yeah okay the gold smaller gold ones are ones okay all right and that's it that is the end of the actions phase uh let's go to cleanup oh no income income we're going to income yes so we're each going to get five coins five coins base uh nobody has this statue for income so we're not going to deal with that there you go decorations i mean there you go and there actually is no cleanup it's the first phase of the next round yep so that is it that's the end of the first round we're going to go into the second starting with that setup phase where you get the first player i get the thimble that goes back you took the token i did then we're going to flush the employees so any of them that are left over go out of the game because this is actually our timer for the game yes that's a good way to know what round you're in is this deck will eventually be all played out yes and the employees get sweeter i think there's like six different levels or something uh yes i think so okay we're gonna put these out so we got four new employees coming out okay what do we got oh okay so you have this silver uh card that lets you depute a card from your hand um i think just from your staff you don't get any money that way but you can take its bonus one last time before ditching it out of the game it helps you call your your deck yeah that one's just like the one that i have except um instead of paying one coin you pay nothing and you get either one lace or one spool this is a bronze card that gets you a one upon playing it you get one point for every two decorations you have and then this one lets you take uh the taylor garment action for either a pink or a blue discount wow i like that one and i am first oh my gosh well we're not done with that with setup so the drawers you leave the ones that are there you leave them in place and then you just fill in the rest sure and then the garments we can also do at the same time yeah so these last two are gonna be the ones that go out of the game yeah everything else conveyor belts down and then we just refill all right and that's it for setup we now have the appearance of another uh another red there yeah hold on to things all right are you ready to select your card yes so we have two and then um even though it's deck building you don't have to shuffle these you get your pick of the litter so you're required to keep these two and then of your discard pile that you now move to your draw deck you can choose your third one exactly all right i am ready yogurt three i do have my three okay navy starting with you action number one okay uh seeing is that's gonna be probably pretty valuable uh let's go ahead and hire them so i'm gonna spend my master okay and i'm gonna spend a whopping five bucks to hire this person the one that gives me a discount anytime i tailor a garment that has a pink or blue requirements yeah that is so nice oh my gosh but i made things cheaper ah but those are they're not that great not right now so i'm just gonna to start by um tailoring a garment right because this is the best time to do it so i'm going to play my you know what called them by their colors gold i'm playing my gold card here it's also going to get me a coin at the afterwards and oh i have some options actually sure you know what since i'm playing a gold card uh to do this i might as well play one make one that requires gold oh wait you know what i'm gonna make this one sure so this is gonna cost me one coin okay and it requires uh let's see it first of all it requires me to have played a gold card so i did that and so it requires me to spend two blue which i have right here as well as one uh thread nice so there's that and then this goes all of the the resource tiles that you spend go get discarded and if the the bag ever runs out then we put it back in and now i have to decide if i want to sell this or if i want to rent it out and i think i'm going to rent it out because i used a gold card to do this i might as well reap the benefits of a gold spot and let's see this spot is going to get me five coins i think i'm gonna do that yeah sure so it gives me five coins immediately so that's kind of a nice spot in the house early spot because it kind of gives you both i'll put this token oh thank you no problem uh oh and i get one coin for playing the card okay all right and that's me back to you got the yeah you know i'm just gonna do this now i'm gonna go ahead and play this card the card that i just newly acquired okay the one that i can take any action and then afterwards as a bonus i can take the action of tailoring a garment with the discount so i'm going to tailor two garments with this individual one of which will be with the discount not both of them okay okay so i am going to tailor this one and this one both of them which one first does it matter it doesn't really matter yeah because i'm going to do it uh but we let's just do it uh one by one so i will spend this one just requires me to spend two so which one you wanna do for let's just do this this one okay so this is free because the last two spots here are free i'm a cheapie so so do pink two pink that's out okay so you wanna sell it you want to rent oh no we're renting it okay we are going to rent such confidence yes we are going to rent it see i i could sell it right for 11 or i could rent it to to get three back you know right or get two back naveen feels very confident in his designs i do all right let's go ahead and rent it to the tui the tui let's get myself two bucks there you go i learned okay and then with the bonus that i have here we're gonna go ahead and do the same thing but now with a discount of one pink so that requires two pink yep i will use that one pink that i acquired in the earlier round nice so that goes out and again i'm going to send it back out into the world displayed you're renting i am you know what i want more money let's just go here and diversify okay three more please yes very controlling that's not good for me well you got the nice one right here like it so there you go so i'm in two places to get five total you're in one place to get five total so it's not that a bad glamorous it does get you one step closer to the all hall's bonus it does moaning and we did not we did not discuss this in the teach um but in a two-player game all of the hall majorities are only first place that's right second place is not getting anything so go big or go home right true all right that that's me yeah that was a that was quite the turn so i'm gonna to i'm gonna tailor another garment i'm gonna play my my gold card for this this is by what am i starting ones it doesn't have an additional benefit and so i think i'm going to tailor this one 28 or huh yeah so this cost me five coins just to have access to it and it's gonna cost me uh three blue which oh my gosh i have to wildly overpay for this oh good but that's good i really need i want to have the money early on yeah so there that's you that's right it's got four blue and a green four blue okay overspending by one blue and one green yeah you don't get any change here i also have to turn in a uh a lace i can never remember which one's which lace looks spicy yes so i had to have played a gold card which i did and that's it i'm gonna sell this dress because it's going to get me at 28 points so that's going to go out not going to go it's not going to go on the board yet yeah so i'm just trying to get my money now get your money right i'm trying to save okay how many cards you have 30. my memory serves me correct monique will not be hiring this round what how do you know i know i know the decks i one card left to answer your question but it is back to you okay i'm a little nervous that you're gonna want first dibs on all the employees yeah so i'm gonna play this card okay the silver one and i'm gonna take the queen gets me five bucks i mean i'll take five bucks maintain gosh can i have five bucks please what's going on i should have taken well i was so scared that you were gonna tailor uh the garment that i wanted to tailor and i couldn't remember which resource colors you have well plus i drew from the bag randomly yeah you really didn't know that's right uh as the bonus now i'm gonna spend one coin to randomly drag for the bag oh okay all right good luck i think it's a blue bag a blue bag yeah okay these are nice bags there you go okay i i want to label them though okay i know i can't remember which was which one yeah there's a white bag in a blue bag and the expansion there's like a gray bag also all right okay are you keeping it four hits oh i'm keeping it resource oh yes it's fantastic well the the tile that i had drawn earlier that i said was really good i used it it was a double blue green did the tube oh yeah i figured when you toss that in there yeah i just felt like i needed to seize that opportunity right so back to me for my final action because i only have one card left yeah naveen took the queen's favorite i had to i had a feeling you were going to do it i'm going to play my last card it is silver um and i'm going to use it to uh purchase a resource sure so i think i'm gonna buy this one the two blue and a green because i missed my last one i shouldn't have spent it the way that it did yeah so it's gonna cost you two yeah so here's five i'm gonna keep the ones out of the bowl because there's a lot of ones going on yeah okay so i got three back and i'm taking this okay and putting up my rack that's a little bonus my bonus lets me spend one coin to get either one of those two things i'm going to spend the coin to take a um the thread yeah cause that's the one that i'm seeing more of that yeah for now that's why i took mine back back when way back way back when all right that's it i'm out for the rest of the round yeah ooh okay so i have this card okay this is a nice one right now yeah i wish you took from here though oh i'm making a mistake i know i had to really think about where would we not care that's why i went with that one okay so i'm gonna play it and i think for bronze do i decorate do i decorate ready i mean if you decorate here you can start um earning additional income i i could yeah so if i if i decorate here for six it's worth one point which again at the end of the game is ten to one right for money and it would get me a coin back and we have what five coins and then i plan on decorating in the future mm-hmm i don't know maybe maybe i don't do that maybe i buy some stuff maybe you buy it i make it cheaper okay so uh i think i'm gonna go ahead and spend these two uh to go ahead and take this green double okay i'll take that now uh it's cheaper in these two areas you know i i don't know what's gonna be coming up later but uh two pinks are better than one yes and i don't think i want the bottom because i have a little bit of a little bit of everything here so yeah i'll take this one i completely agree i mean that's probably the best tile out of these two drawers yeah which is what you're looking for well i was looking at this plus plus the uh yeah this is the dual plus thread the spool lace cover spoolie's combo yeah that's always nice yeah but that's it that's me uh that was all of it all right yeah that is the end two rounds done yeah pretty much the end of the round let's take our income okay so five i have all this money and i'm having regrets about not hiring additional people i'm going to give a you can always decorate yeah always decorate it doesn't take you an accident all right that is the end of round two we're going into round three uh starting with the setup you're gets to go first i do so we have a whole new slew of peeps yes coming in oh and we have here we have a goldie wow okay we have some good looking stuff okay so this card here on the left this is an apprentice that says whenever you play it however many people are employed by you uh whether they're in your discard or in your hand or in your draw pile yeah that's how much money you get right away so if you have the max 11 people and you play that card you get 14 bucks wow i love how many cards do we have yeah i mean i have four plus i have four plus three so that's seven uh plus the card itself is eight so that would get me six coins every time i play them okay so it's it's really nice it's not bad yeah when you want to make some money uh this one right here when you play it for every three dresses you have on the board you get one point yeah this one right here um for every blue dress you have on the board you get one point and for our sorry one coin and then for every green dress you get two yep so monique has one blue dress right and then this last one monique what is it what does it do this one allows you to defut a card which is basically firing an employee and instead of getting the amount of money at the bottom left you get money based off of what type of card it is so if it's a gold card you get eight silver's five and bronzes two very nice so those are um our employees yeah so let's go ahead and refill yeah i'll slide these all down there you go all right we're all set up everything got slid down we have new tiles out there we need our cards and i believe i have three cards so i i will not take from over here these are the three cards i have four yeah because you had one extra turn in the previous so you have more options right okay i'm going to take these three i think i need to start deputing maybe computing time all right now starting with you all right the only gold employee that i see is this one so i'm going to spam that gosh because gold employees allow you to make better garments specific garments and they allow you to hire more people so such a swiper gold i'm gonna spend it it's gonna cost me five and i'm gonna take this gold it's not very good for me right now because it requires you to have blue and green garments out there still like gold but it's still a gold and maybe i can start working towards that yeah perhaps all right that's me jeez louise naveen all right well i'm gonna hire an employee as well so this is my gold card there's no uh um additional bonus okay and i'm going to hire one of the silver employees i think this one so i'm thinking i need to fit my deck a little bit more how much does it cost it's going to cost three okay three so three coins and this is gonna help you depute uh this might be a mistake in the past i've never really called my hand that much but maybe that's the difference yeah yeah yeah so we shall see all right back to you man oh now that you took one here i'm debating coming back with that goal that i just hired if they're cheaper now they are cheaper i'm not going to hire right now no no i want to but i'm going to spend this silver card and what i'm going to do with it is i'm gonna go ahead and make myself a dress okay we're gonna make a dress we are gonna make this cheapy over here so this is gonna cost uh two pink and a green as well as a spool so let me go ahead and spend that spool okay here is two pink and a green okay so these go out and now i think i want to diversify a little bit are you gonna rent let's go ahead and rent how are you doing all this we're gonna go ahead and put that there okay and what i covered up is i get to take any one of these for free that's so nice well it's the cheapest oh that's so nice okay i think i'm gonna take this double blue oh it's time to get involved in blue no stay away there's a lot of uh there's a lot of double blue opportunity here all right and then as a bonus i will spend one coin okay to go ahead and get a spool back so because the last one required one yeah back it comes it's one of those resources that it's like it's not integral but you're going to need it sometime and you don't want to not have it yeah you definitely want to always have at least one of each i would say okay well that was a great turn so now i have to follow that mm-hmm but i'm going to purchase some resources as well so this is my uh my bronze worker it's gonna let me do it twice twice yep so the first one i'm going to buy is this one the double pink for two coins and then the second one so let's just do this now sure so i'm gonna spend three coins total so i'm giving five i'm taking back two right so what did you do with double pink money i don't know i only see one dress that really needs it i'm taking the blue by the way and i'm keeping it so um no wondering eyes that's it that's just looking at the board purchase some resources back to you all right i'm gonna take my chances here it's not even a big chance it's just a dollar and i'd be happy with either one of these two fine employees i am gonna spend this person okay and uh the benefit is gonna get me two coins but what i'm gonna do is i'm gonna take this one blue bracelet okay that's the resource just give me one coin only yeah because it would have cost me one but then i get two backs here comes one all right very good so now it is you oh i do have one card left okay well these are both the same kind of free so free is free well this is a nicer free that is true if you're gonna take it for the lace and the the thread okay well i'm going to tailor our garment okay so i'm playing um the silver card here and this is gonna let me deputy something so i'm gonna deal with that in a second but i'm going to tailor this one okay so it's going to cost me two coins and it requires a red one that we talked about earlier yeah very good it also requires lace it's the first time i'm paying that now i don't have any lace but i'm going to rent this out so i'm going to flip it over and place it here and i'm probably going to get like a place yeah right so i always have something i'll put some for you thank you and one lace comes right on yes you're in a different hall yeah so there's that and then now i can depute a card so it says i can defeat a card from my staff which i'm assuming means anywhere they're all hired by you i would imagine yes and i'm going to only get the amount of money depending on what type of card it is can you get rid of a gold i'm going to definitely get rid of a bronze i think i might get rid of this bronze because i'm thinking at this point in the game uh additional action types are more valuable than just getting money especially because i have money now so this is gonna go out of the game and i'm gonna get two coins for it because it is a bronze card yeah that's good that's what this is interesting the duck says yeah so that was actually the last card that was my draw deck so the next round will have the full options that's the thinning of it go into it yeah that is me back to you how many cards you have i have one card it's this gold master wow uh let's go ahead and hire okay i just i'm debating do i want this one or this one because that's the next action i'm gonna take uh i think i'm gonna hire the silver though so i'm gonna spend this okay uh and then i'm gonna hire this one for just one coin yeah that's nice i'm gonna pick it up and you have a nice deck too yeah this is the one that uh when i play it for every three garments out there you get a point and i definitely have three garments that's my timing it was right now oh you get to play that this round i get to play it right away yeah yeah well not right away this bottom here however i do not get anything of it because it says um for blue and green dresses i would get money accordingly i have all pink dresses out there then it is to me and i only have one left card in my hand it is a bronze card so you know i don't actually have a good deck i just have a thinner one now um you actually have a really nice deck you should draw a free resource so that's pretty nice let me draw a free resource and i'm gonna just uh take this action and just take one of these two pink ones for free i might as well take this one because it is the better of the two yes don't leave it for me yeah i'm gonna take it for the pink i think yes i'm gonna take it for the pink okay and then i get to draw a random a random resource from the bag i'm hoping to get nice and lucky let's see oh my gosh the worst case is it a blanket yeah it is is it a blank it's a problem it's a one in one so i mean that's still great i think but i really wanna just another color yeah sure of something well it goes out that's so out there you have that now yeah all right well i have that last card that i have so the silver and uh let's go ahead and construct another dress we're gonna make this one okay so it's gonna cost me one spool oh one coin uh one coin yeah uh okay so here we go it's one coin and now three blue yep which i have right here yes i know you turned in your spool right there i did yeah uh now the choice is do i keep the dress and rent it or sell it 22. i could sell it but i think i want to rent it i think area control sounds good you're doing really well in that department i think i need to i kind of want to diversify i'm in these three halls i like these two holes here you're doing a fantastic job keeping an economy the game starts you with 15 and i'm just trying to always maintain 15 i think all right i'm gonna go ahead and place this rental into this hall okay and i'm gonna get a spool yeah and let's go ahead and place my token on there just to signify that oh god let's go to school and i am now on the board so i have at least three dresses yes so i have four dresses out there so i'm only going to get one point but it is a point nonetheless nice that's me you you've uh you've left the starting block we're off the races so far yep all right uh that's it i don't have any more cards awesome no more for you that is the end of the action space so let's get our income sure there you go so five and five nobody's uh purchased any of the the decorations now yeah i can't justify that yeah it's kind of a hard early sell right yeah you're trying to get presents on the board spend six but there's only seven rounds that's why you do it in round two or three i don't know i'm sure there's something in there yeah okay so we're gonna remove this employee yep now we are into round four i believe i believe so we're gonna be halfway through two afterwards this is a nice one you get money for uh your money for uh your um decorations so it looks like this one allows you the the bonus action allows you to uh purchase a decoration at a five dollar discount this one's for every decoration you have you get a coin this one is similar to the card that we saw last time where it depends on how many uh cards you have in your deck that's right and then this is uh doing a tailor action with a two green garment discount or a two green resource discount that's nice that would just make that like free did it yeah you did it three coins all right well we have some other things to lay out i'll just go ahead and hand you this bag all right and that's it we are all set up so let's go ahead and grab our three cards three cards so i have a no more to go so i get to choose everything i want from here yes me too i need to choose wisely this time because i've not been choosing my cards properly yeah i feel you all right i'm ready okay i'm ready i think this is picking the right cards is hard decision yeah hard decision i just chose based off of it okay okay so then starting with you action space i am going to go ahead and make a dress okay so i'm gonna make this dress right here it's going to cost me one coin uh-huh so that goes out it's going to cost me a thread yep and two pink which i happen to have right here and it was a gold requiring a gold yes boom so that's it are you going to rent or i'm assuming you're hunting we're gonna rent yes we're gonna rent and we are gonna get ourselves into the last hall ah the one hall we're not in so it's gonna cover up this gold spot it's gonna be four coins yeah and now i'm gonna coin yeah thank you and now i am in all five halls so i get six points and i believe that happens right away no it's the end of the game end of the game yeah everything all the points were pretty much at the end okay oh yeah you're right yeah so naveen is gonna get the six points at the end for being in all halls first so now i have no rush to do that no rush i sacrificed that though that's not good but if i can get it before the end of the game i can score two points i can try to redeem some some of that right so now to me and i'm gonna hire i'm gonna hire now while i can so there's my my gold card and no bonus there sure and this is gonna cost me five because it's a full it's all full yeah which one are you hiring i think i'm gonna hire this one yeah it's nice it's not bad i see a card that you can yeah it's a taylor taylor action at a two green discount i mean there are two gold cards already there there's a two greener out there there's a two greener out there all right back to you oh this is so tough okay i will go ahead and use this card the silver one okay all right so i am going to um take the action of gaining uh these oh okay yeah all right i think i'm gonna take this pink green little combo here okay yeah i'll take it and i'll take it for the resources i won't take it for the double lace all right all right and then my bonus at the bottom here is i can take a tailor or garment action for either a pink or blue discount of one so uh let's go ahead and do that now so i'm going to take this one so i'm going to take it for the pink discount okay so i am going to overpay unfortunately with this double grain okay but it's going to cost me the double green and the waste and how much money was that those two coins right yes all right here's two coins all right go out and now where do i put you i mean this is nice it would get me one of these tokens for free you know what i think i want to be a little more competitive though here okay oil spout so that's going to cover up a coin so i'll take a coin yeah the royal hall yeah can i have a coin please yes there you go thank you and uh that's going to be me all right so i'm going to play uh this card the new one my new silver card and i'm going to use it to take the taylor garment action twice okay so the first uh garment i'm going to tailor so there's no there's no discount on the first one that's on the second one only in the second one so the first i'm gonna do is this this is gonna cost me five yes but it requires a two blue and a green which i have in just this one nice yeah so there's that as well as a spool so there's that and then i'm going to rent this out because i have all this money and the bean is all over the place you know what i think i'm just going to go into the royal hall sure yeah just go into there and see what we can do so there's that and then i'm going to do it again now with a discount of two green nice and this is too green and it's free so it's kind of a no-brainer it doesn't require anything extra no spools of thread or anything so i'm going to go ahead and rent this out and uh do i've covered up that last spot i'm just going to go here yeah i'm going to take that benefit now so that's gonna let me take one of these for free and i'm gonna take this one sure the blue green blue green it's good yeah i'm gonna keep it that's it those are that's my that's my actions back to you okay so i think i'm gonna hire i'm gonna spend the gold that i have here okay and we're gonna go ahead and hire i think i'm going to hire this gold one gold for gold you know yeah seems pretty good so it's going to cost me uh three coins to do this though so here's a fiber okay i have two back and this one this is the one that gets me money right when i play them so there you go they can uh they could be worth it well i think i have to hire that last gold card just to make sure that i keep up with the gold card to technically use this gold to then go hire that person yeah well actually how many of these do i have i don't really like the ability of that gold yeah yeah one one buck per decoration i mean this is nice this let me purchase a decoration at a discount of five coins is that that all right i guess i'm going to hire i'm just so paranoid so i'm going to play this card and i'm going to hire this last one oh that's nice so that's uh that's a coin right yeah that's the one i like the the ability of that one i'm so glad you hired that one because i am going to hire this one right here for the decoration uh discount so i am going to play this one okay all right and then i'm going to hire this person right here so it's going to cost me nothing so i get this one and then now i'm going to take the bonus so i get money equal to however many people are employed by me so i have one two three four i hired the new one five six seven eight nine ten eleven so i have the max so i get seven uh coins seven coins okay yes there you go i'm just glad it wasn't like the 15 or whatever you said earlier uh so the silver one is a little bit you get more money from the silver uh worker that looks like i'm sorry the apprentice working the bronze one but because they're they're limited yeah exactly so it kind of balances out of teams i think i'm going to do this finally for the first time first time in the game i'm going to take the token the favorite token so i get to go first uh next round so this is going to get me the five coins that's how you've been making your money well i you made 10 coins to this i did i did yeah 10 coins is a lot i get first dibs on whatever comes out here technically yeah but then i make it cheaper for you right but it's like two it's not bad but still the one good card the one card is is better than two timing is very important in this game so this card is also going to be the pewte a card which i should just do at this point i'm going to defut this bronze card uh you know drawing them randomly from the bag wasn't as sweet as i hoped that they would be so this is going to get me two coins from there out of the game all right i have dumped all the coins out onto the table because it was way too noisy so all right i got my two coins now it is back to you for your final your final action the person i just hired this silver yeah so we're going to go ahead and do that uh so i'm going to hire them and pick i'm probably going to pick up some resources over here because i only have one token okay the problem is i don't know what's coming out later i'm going to spend two coins i'm going to get rid of them there you go and i'm gonna take this one but i'm gonna discard it for one lace in one spool because i don't have any lace ah wow you're running out of that stuff yeah yeah yeah it doesn't feel good doing that but the bonus i get is i get to put out a decoration for a discount of five wow uh you know what fireworks sound nice so instead of spending uh 12 i'm gonna spend seven nice so there we go that's oh that's a nice one and yeah and because i have a three person here hopefully that three can then slide up into there and then it'll be an extra six point so that'll be nice uh let me go ahead and mark that that i am reserving this spot man oh man for the future i don't know you're doing you're doing mighty fine here and everything thanks i'm trying i'm trying okay your turn this is the year of the naveen no this year you've been meeting me you've definitely been uh we're doing bg sets well yeah we'll see yeah that's true i will tell you definitely all right for my final turn i'm going to purchase a decoration with my my gold card i feel like it's a little bit of a waste but i feel i'm not able to truly value these cards properly that's my issue yeah okay i struggle with this game a little bit it happens so i'm going to purchase a decoration from the kitchen nice so this is at least going to get me additional income it's going to cost me nine i'm up front so here's 10. take back one okay i'm gonna place this here at the end of the game it's gonna score me a point but each income uh phase yep i'm gonna get one additional coin for each different color of dress i have on the board i think yeah green red and blue so if you can make a pink dress then you'll max it out well i mean in addition this card the bonus gives me one coin per decoration i have one coin the time to do it so that's it that is the end of round four and uh we are we are more than halfway through more than halfway there yeah three more rounds so now we collect our income sure five for me and uh i think it is now eight for you because of what it is there's ten get back two that is nice yeah it's nice and i get to go first let's see if we can change the tides all right so the employees are all have all been taken so we have some look you can turn in four coins for a point i'm gonna give this back by the way and take the thimble okay sure thank you oh we got something ones the time that i'm going first and they're all bronzed this one for every different color you get a coin that's a yeah no this is this is one point for each garment that you have out there yeah it doesn't matter the different colors this card allows you to discard resource tiles back out and they'll give you a point depending on what combination you discard so each red i think it's orange actually each orange in each green gets you one point and then those combinations also yep this one is for each pink you have out there it's two coins and for each red it's a point it's interesting i have a lot of bank out there you do and then here you can spend uh four coins for a point which of course is much better than the ten to one one yeah all right so let's refill these sure we're almost i'm gonna take this one out and then these all slide down this is great we're gonna see some some new stuff new stuff all right so now we are all set up let's go ahead and draw or select three cards i only have three cards left in my draw deck so i have to take them okay i've taken my three ready uh yeah what are you gonna do what have i done are you gonna miss manage here i think i miss manage it a little but it'll be it'll show up later it's fine like i'm first i'm forecasting ah i'm forecasting something you got it he doesn't have any gold cards in his hand all right i'm going to start by tailoring a garment and i'm going to play this card silver card so i'm going to taylor it's going to be really expensive but i really need a pink dress so i'm going to go for this one wow so it's four coins i think i'm making all kinds of bad bad decisions here but we're gonna go with it so that's five i take back one and it's going to cost all this stuff it's three pink okay that's three pink yep and two of these lace tokens oh wow i don't want that and i'm going to i'm going to put it out yeah i guess i think so i'm going to let you know right now that i'm gonna spend a coin for the lace because i'm out now playing for the lace okay yes so can i have a lace piece sure okay technically you're supposed to wait until you're fully done but i didn't want to forget okay so this is a three-pointer so i'm gonna place it up here in the royal hall this is the last non-master uh spot wow so where's sure is that yes that's right naveen i put the pressure it's on it's on ah okay that's me yes okay i think i'm gonna tailor a dress we're gonna spend the silver worker okay and i'm gonna tailor this dress here so it's gonna cost me one coin all right it's gonna cost me my one lace and exactly what i have with this token a pink and green nice there we go you're renting i am renting where are you going we well you did the thing i did i was planning was it a good move yeah it was pretty good but you know the way i see it is this one is worth six this one is worth five and we're tied here so you know it's just one point differential i guess so let's go ahead and get involved here okay there we go and then now i get this benefit at the bottom so for every three dresses out there i get a point i have one two three four five six seven so i'm gonna get two points oh my gosh here's where it begins they're running away yeah i mean well i think i'm gonna hire that that gold um employee while i still can it's gonna cost five gonna cost five but it's a nice one because it's a money-making one yeah this gives me a coin yeah it gets it back um this is nice because it's gonna be for every garment i have on the board and now that we're kind of in the swing of the game there's more garments out there a little later too yeah definitely yeah very good so i made all those ones i know you wanted to hire one of those cards they're cheaper now navin the bronzies huh yes i don't know okay i will play this card okay okay and this one's gonna allow me as a bonus to pay one to draw randomly from the bag as soon as i have no resources let it let it just uh yeah let it just dictate where i go so i think i should probably get some resources i think that that seems to be the most logical thing yeah so i think i'm gonna take this double green okay right over here and this double green is gonna cost me uh two coins so can i have three please yes and actually just only give me two because i'm gonna pay the one to draw one randomly so i paid you five yep so you get three back and you have to pay one so here's your two yeah there you go okay and then uh i get to draw one randomly from the bag well i hope you get a blank one that only only gives you lace well i have no legs so i oh yeah do you want that no fine i hope you get a single pink single pink you say it is that what you drew no are you keeping it no i will keep it yeah okay well you know since i've been just spending my money willy-nilly i feel like i wasted so much of my money let's waste a little bit more get it so i'm gonna play this bronze card okay and i'm gonna buy a decoration because i think you can buy a decoration with anybody right anybody can yes that's right i'm gonna buy this firework spot so hard i really 22 for 3x yes i have a three-pointer in there that's gonna be worth it so it's gonna be worth nine um what you really should be doing is probably valuing everything and then seeing where the trade-off is but that takes so much time get it so i'm spending 22 and now i only have seven coins to my name so i don't know if i'm gonna take well i guess i could the other action here is buying one of these i could take one of these for a coin yeah you could is it still yeah i'm gonna do it sure i'll take what do you need more of i'm gonna take this one i want you to have a free a free lace back to you wow wow wow yeah so at the end of the game i can move my my my garment there your three value to a 3x yes they're going to be able to watch the fireworks in like in a piece i made yeah all right so i'm going to use this bronze worker okay and i'm going to take the action of gaining resources the first one i'm going to do is i'm going to spend two coins and i'm gonna go ahead and i'm gonna take this one but it's a gain a lace and a spool and i'm just gonna discard it out and take those here yeah and then now my bonus is take that same action again now what are you gonna take i imagine you can do a free blue or you can pay a coin for the blue yeah i'm looking at these these dresses and i just i'm real nervous about some of them but i will take the free blue let's do it okay i like it hopefully we can get something good going yeah that's me you probably will i am out of cards by the way oh so it's just okay so there's no risk i'll do your lonesome naveen is not gonna take the queen's favorite token i'm gonna get to go first next round so don't worry about that i debated a couple times taking it so i'm really glad i didn't sure you know what i'm gonna hire an employee sure with my last card here okay and so it's gonna cost three oh i'm so short on cash do you know which one you want yes i'm gonna take the this one it is a bronze employee but at least it gets me uh a point it'll get me a point for my red and two coins for the pink dress that gets me something when i play it sure um in addition by the way this this card gets me one coin for each of my garments two three four five guys five so i needed some money yeah and then you're done right i'm done yeah okay so back to me i'm gonna play that last card that i just drew or that i just hired and i'm going to get some a resource i think i'm gonna take this one it only cost me one coin okay i'll take this or for the pink for the pink okay and then i get the benefit on the card so it's gonna be two coins because i have the one pink uh dress right there sure and one point because of the one red dress or the orange one yeah that's right so anyway one point you're on i'm on the map you're here finally more than halfway through and i'm finally on the map definitely all right that is that's it that is it yeah that's over at the end of the action space let's get our income so you get five and then i think you get a good amount i think i get nine now is it nine you know what i just realized that this this means i get an additional coin per garment rental i have out there uh i think i might have shorted myself once or twice and thinking about uh the different colors instead so i'm gonna let that go because that was my mistake and it was gonna go with with this now so i have five six seven eight nine ten ten yeah take that bronzy one okay that's it so now we're going to go into round five uh let's go ahead and refresh these employees these employees are out uh we took the queen token so then now who is coming out oh okay for every two you get one you have every two decorations one point there's two garments it's one point that's good uh for every two uh thimbled um garments you get three points yes and i believe the dark blue background means it's at the end of the game yep and then every three bucks is a point ah you can turn not every three bucks sorry you can turn in three coins per point for a point i don't have that much money anymore i spent it on the fireworks display yeah so now we have to refill some of the resources and addresses so let's go ahead and get rid of these all right okay and so this is now the new display we need to get our new cards what's going on there's this combination here good combination that's okay okay so i must take these three cards because these are the last three i got my entire deck back well you're gonna be going first so i'll i'll follow your lead are we in round six yes oh my gosh oh no this is the pen this is the second to last round say the word penultimate but then ultimate route i thought we were in round five i did too where did i where did that counting go wrong oh this is the round tracker okay well that's kind of a game changer we don't have as much time to do what we need to do new all right i'm ready selected i don't i was forced to select these these are what i was given i hope it puts you in a bad position do you have any gold cards in there in the beginning maybe well i'm gonna go first and uh what do we have here are these worth it right now i mean this one will get you two points sorry once yeah that gives me one point yeah but it's so expensive this one's nice for every two that you are in in these these gold sections uh you can score three and technically unlimited up until this is nice yeah that's a good one i i don't want you to have that i don't want to point that one out well you know i'm going to i'm going to hire that employee yeah so this card it's going to cost me five five and then i'm gonna hire this one it's yeah it's really that's a nice one there's a lot of points that'll score you the most points out of the four there unless you can make this work which is actually pretty good for you well i'm not in any gold spots so that's what makes it kind of tough yeah no you you are you are in more gold spots than i am right there one you're in no you're in one spot never mind i was wrong um you you're still time it's a bronze one though you know that's the thing do i hire i hire okay yeah so i'm gonna spend uh a master okay okay and i'm gonna hire this one right there so it's gonna cost me three so i get two back okay there's no benefit on the bottom of this card no bonus and this is the one where i spend three coins for one point yeah that's nice so you're buying yourself a point instead of 101 at the end it's a 31. well i think i think i should hire that person sure it's only one coin so i'm gonna go ahead and uh play this card okay and pay a coin to hire this person sure so that's gonna be nice and then i also get a coin for all my garments i think it's still the same spot so that's a nice i needed the money anyway okay okay now back to you now you can really start making the upper hand decisions i tried to plan this on the last turn yeah so i think i'm gonna be able to pull it off which is good so i'm gonna build our make address with this newly acquired gold okay um and i'm going to make this dress it's a gold for a gold it's going to cost me one coin so here's one coin thank you and then i do have a spool uh-huh and i have a double green all right so we're renting this out oh yeah and we're going to rent it out and i think we are going to be placing it here nice so now we're we have a little bit of the upper hand there you have you have the yeah yeah yeah actually i think about it [Laughter] so that's that and now i mean i have this benefit here i can spend three coins for a point i think i'm going to spend i'm i'm stuck i can't i'm trying to do the math like what is a good return what are you deciding uh how much how many threes i want to spend for points like i'm feeling like six or nine because it would be nice to have some money for something i mean all of those perhaps all of those are good value three coins a point in this game i'll i'll spend six and hang on to 15. okay okay so there you go so i'm gonna get two points for that i don't know if this is a mistake please let me know you will find out please let me know yeah i guess i'll i could try to figure out myself we have a pretty good spread there right now yeah that's right that's me so i'm gonna play this card okay and the first it's gonna be a double tailor so the first tailor is gonna be this this dress and it's going to be free free i have to pay a a blue and a balloon a pink and a spool and a spool so there's that and here's my spool okay very good and then i'm going to place it where do i want to put this well if you put it in the top right you will get the all halls bonus no no you still need to be here as well so yeah i kind of want to put it here for now because right now we are tied and now you're leading and now i'm leading because i i break the ties in that spot that's right so for my second one it's going to be at a discount of two green so i'm going to take the right most here it's free as well and i just have to pay these the spool and this is going to go up here these are all halls yeah attempt yeah i'm getting i'm getting closer to the all halls at least i'm in the halls so and so over here if we end the game and nobody gets into these master spots or purchases a decoration yeah purchase the decorations then the uh there's no tie breaker it's just we both get the full amount of points so you can be friendly here naveen although um it's not quite quite your style it's like it doesn't exist yeah yeah that's me now it's back to you okay i think i'm gonna do this now so i'm gonna i'm gonna spend this card okay and i'm gonna take the queen's token ah i would like first three points the end of the game well no i would have to do it again at the end of the game this so but i would like five coins going into the next round and first dibs on everything that i see there you go because i get my whole deck back to me so i like that uh the bonus i have here is i can spend one for a spool or a lace i'm looking at i mean i'm looking at all those garments not many require lace i mean just this one requires lace i i will not take that bonus right there i don't know if this is wrong with me okay but well you'll find out if you end up being short right i will definitely find out all right all right so all right i'm actually going to purchase a decoration so i'm going to play this card and i'm going to purchase that one this one yes i'm going to hire that musician is that what it doesn't cost eight yeah eight so i'm really spending money that is pretty short but i feel like that's the most bang for my buck right now sure yeah so you're gonna get this and it'll be two points you know two yeah it'd be two points for the other game in addition for every two garments that i have so two four six six so three points oh here we go that's nice that's back to you okay i'm gonna go ahead and use this bronze card okay and i'm gonna take some resources so i'm gonna put this down i'm going to take this double green right here and so it's going to cost me two but the benefit i get here is two so let's just call it yeah i'm going to take that double green i'm seeing what here yeah everything's sliding down so it looks like it's going to get kind of cheap okay i think uh i'm gonna sacrifice one point to do this but it will probably pay off in the end if i can try to make it work okay but i'm gonna play this card and i'm going to hire this person it's free it's free and it's end game scoring yeah so this if i can get another uh another garment in one of the the master spots then i get three points at the end of the game sure so that'll be worth the sacrificing the one point because i was going to use it to buy a decoration right which i'll end up doing less so okay so this is going to give me uh one point for every two decorations you have three different three so you're in that's one we're tied five five okay and then now i have this card here i think i'm gonna use this card to buy a resource okay this is just a really terrible combination like yeah there's the double reds or like the red red yeah the new ones that are going to come in for the last round are going to go on the very left here so it's going to be super expensive yeah so i think i'm going to have to play this card and purchase a i'm going to purchase this sure the one green yeah that's going to be two coins and that's it this doesn't have any additional bonus because it's at the end of the game gotcha all right that was it that's my final turn of round six we were wrong this whole time yeah so i get five coins going into income okay and then you get what was it ten it's ten yeah it's the same thing well actually one two three four five six so i have eleven eleven yeah okay that's nice you get to go because right yeah let's go ahead and expose final round you get the thimble i do you have the queen's favorite token there you go oh sorry my thimble finally we have some cool looking end game cards here so they all have the dark blue except for that um this is going to get you pointy depending on how many cards you have in your deck at the very end of the game uh this is for each uh pair of lace and um thread you get three points that's not bad this card is gonna get you two points at the end at the end of the game for each pair of um i guess they're color-coded depending on if it's a gentleman's frock and a ladies gown yes the gentlemen are pink and white oranges red yeah and the ladies are blue and green right so for each pairing that you can you have there's two points each and then this lets you buy a decoration at a 10 coin discount wow wow wow that's that let's go ahead and refill these i mean we didn't really take many resources yeah not this time this time around all right this is our final lineup uh okay it's looking it's looking a little scary all right cards get your best final time naveen your best okay that was the hardest decision of the game did you have full oh no i had no i didn't have my entire deck but i wish because that the cards i spent were really nice but oh yeah that was tough three cards for the last round and you i know you're gonna take the card that is really sweet yeah so why don't you just start by doing that okay let's do it i'm just spending the gold mastercard yeah and i'm gonna take the one that gets you points for having uh cards and having a lot of employees so uh you're gonna get up to 11 points for having 11 plus uh i have i have that yeah yeah and so this is going to come to me and because i have 11 plus uh this particular benefit here gets you money it gives me money but i do have to pay the five so it's i pay the five get seven so just give me two instead okay yeah okay yes cool all right okay so now to me all right well i'm going to tailor a garment right now while i can so i'm gonna play a gold card and i'm gonna tailor this one okay the two greed it's gonna cost me two coins you don't have that free greener one i don't i spent it i used it last last round oh that's like a darker one okay so i'm gonna tailor this one it's going to cost two greens so i'm just going to play both these right now it does not require a spool or lace which is nice so i'm going to rent it out of course and because i used a gold card to do it i'm going to place it over here which allows me to take a decoration or sorry a resource from one of the drawers that's right so if it wasn't clear you do not need to tailor a garment that has a gold thimble to place on this spot you just have had to play have to have played a gold card that's right place on that spot so uh let me place my token here you're winning that tie breaker now yeah i am i get to take a uh a resource at no cost i'm gonna take this one and that's that's it okay good job oh wait i think i'm in all five halls you are in all five i did it i wasn't convinced that i would make it there in the end you did it the spread is still pretty good i mean you have uh um 11 points from that one card alone so i do okay so i will go ahead and spend that new card that i got for the brown and i'm just gonna go buy myself a decoration okay i'm gonna buy this decoration okay so it's going to be 13 coins so here's a 10 how to place your token on it 15 yeah that you can you can mult multiply times two yeah so i gave you 15. okay and i get a two back two back yeah there you go all right let me just put this on there oh it's just yeah it's kind of hard to see kind of hard to see all right well i'm going to tailor another garment okay now that i have another resource for it so i'm gonna i'm gonna play this card i'm not gonna end up using this bonus because it's i don't know i don't know if i'm gonna use it yeah so i'm going to tailor um this it's gonna it's gonna be free okay and it costs me one red so that's when i was able to pull from there right right as well as one lace the lace you have so there's that where's that and i'm gonna rent it out of course and i think i'm gonna place it here in this last spot nice and pop that right there and that's that's it that's it for me so now goes back to you okay okay okay okay all right i will go ahead and tailor a garment i have a gold one here so i'm gonna tailor this garment so it requires a gold yep okay so it's one one coin one coin okay there goes one coin yeah it's gonna cost me my red yep and a spool okay and so i'm gonna rent it out where are you gonna place it uh oh we're gonna place it probably right here ah so it gets you a a uh it gets you uh i'm gonna be one of those resources yeah i'll just take this one okay and i'm gonna i'm gonna go ahead and turn it in for for one of these one of each okay just in case i somehow get that card nice are you gonna make another garment all right well i'm going to try to get some additional end game scoring i'm going to play this card uh to hire this employee so it's going to cost me three okay so here's my one two three and this is a bronze employee but it's it's going to give me points two points for each of the pairings i didn't do the math on it i'm just hoping that i did enough because of all the colors in addition it gets me one coin for each decoration okay so i think i still have three right it's one two three so yeah nice three coins money is not really enticing right now now they're at the end of the game i just hope that i have like multiples of ten yeah yeah about what you mean all right so back to you you'll have one one one last card it's a silver so i will not be hiring even though i did this whole thing right here so uh i'm gonna go ahead and spend it and i think i'm gonna tailor a dress so if i take this dress and tailor it it's gonna cost me three points so one two and three that goes out okay and then now it's the double green which i have yeah and i believe if i put it in here i believe that makes me uh yes have the area control there you have area control there because i have the uh the gold spot yes now i have this uh place out a decoration for a five discount yeah so i could technically go here yeah and you can do three multipliers yeah three times all three of them because i have 10 2x i can't do this one i'm short by two coins unfortunately that because that cost me three i can't do this i would have really liked it to get the four plus head control over there yeah not gonna happen okay so let's go ahead and spend ten um with the five discount yep to go ahead and place out okay yeah you get a coinbase i don't think we get income though later on i think we do get income i think i'll have to confirm okay yeah uh okay and let's go ahead and put that out there so at least now i have the area control for this at the end of the game yeah oh that's going to get you some nice gosh this is going to be what are you at three there's gonna be 16 points just in your your royal hall uh garments yeah cause it's gonna be eight times all of them are two x's yeah yeah it's nice okay well i'm out of cards so that that's me okay and yes we definitely get income one more time before the end of the game so uh back to me for my final turn and i have a bronze card here that i'm just going to use to purchase a decoration right yeah you need to buy some points where to well i think i have enough money for this four points uh 17 yeah and that would have been nine points that's four for the decoration plus you would be yeah so it's 17 coins it's almost all my money i would have actually done that one had i had enough money yeah i was worse yeah it's a really nice musician it's a musician i hired a musician not a decoration that's right yeah that's right and that's it that's the final action of this entire game so let's collect their income for the final time okay sure you get i think i get five which is not going to really amount to anything if you never went to the kitchen i'll take it oh can i have at least yeah i think i'm gonna have at least ten yeah one two three four five six seven eight nine plus the five so that's fourteen yeah fourteen oh oh no just one yeah you'll get one point out of it it's 10 again yeah okay i'm gonna take 15 give back one sure and that's it that is the end of the game so now we're going to go into uh final scoring which is going to be basically everything that we've been doing that we haven't been um receiving our stuff on yeah and the end game scoring you can follow along it's all up here there are seven parameters starting with turning in your money for points so i just have the ten i have a six so it's nothing but no points we're going to get you a point one point yes okay thank you then we're going to score points for any of our end game staff members including the royal favorite token with nobody nobody uh nobody got to take that so anything that has that blue the blue background i think i only have one of them yeah okay it's that one card that says for uh having 11 or greater uh i'll get 11 points and employees so i have four five six seven eight nine ten eleven twelve thirteen so that's gonna be eleven points yeah so we go from five to six sixteen um well i have two of them i have this one this is for every two of the master ones that i have it's three points i think i only have two of them right do you only have two or do i even have two these two this one and this one oh yeah there you go yeah i was like you definitely have it yeah so you get three points yeah three points so six to nine yeah okay so that was worth it this is going to be every uh pairing of pink pink orange and blue green let's just count them by color sure right so for the the blue greens i have one two three four five five six six okay so six of the the ladies technically ladies dresses and the gentleman uh a tire you have one yeah so it's a pink and orange right so one two three three i think just three so it's going to be three pairs yeah three times two times two so six points points okay so now you are at 15. okay so that wouldn't be so bad yeah you did two of them yeah then we're gonna score the majorities in each of the five halls keeping in mind that in a two-player game nobody scores a second place right so let's just go from here from here wrap around there are five halls sure so this one uh so we're equal we're tied the tiebreaker is whoever has the most in this section so that's going to be me so i'm going to get four points uh-huh so we go to 20. nice uh this one it is we're tied uh-huh uh nobody's in here but the second breaker is whoever has the decoration yeah the musician so it's gonna be monique so she's gonna get two okay oh that wasn't so great over here definitely you yeah three to two so you get six six here we go 20 to 26. uh over here i it's gonna be me because i have the tie breaker yep right so i get three three so you're going to 20. and then i just snuck in right here yeah you did that because we have the same number we both are in here yeah and i took the so the second tie breaker then is the decoration i want i wanted it so for sure five points for that so you're at 25 okay okay okay this is good oh we also score the majority in the fireworks yes so that is actually its own parameter so i have three of them yes so my one so we get six points so 26 to 32. nice okay this is where the spread really will be at so now uh for each of the fireworks decorations you funded you can move one of the garments into that spot because they're gonna now enjoy the fireworks so i have three of them so all three are just gonna kind of move right on it and they're all the same multiplier so it doesn't really matter yeah they're all 2x right so i have this one 3x and i think one of them is worth more than the other this one totally so that's going to be scored normally and this will get me 3x on that okay next this stands for statue scoring and that is specifically if somebody uh purchased one of these statues and they would get points it's two points for each different color of garment i think that's where i got confused earlier yes but neither of us purchased the statue so we're gonna skip that entirely and we're gonna go to the final one which is the big the big scoring uh bunch here a bunch of stuff and so that means we're gonna be scoring our garments our decorations and the all halls bonus and we're supposed to start in uh in turn order so starting with the vein okay so do you want to start with your all halls bonuses sure so i get six so 32 to 38 38 yes and then you get two uh yes and i get two so that's the all-hauls bonus okay let's do do you want to do decorations and then do garments last sure we can do that which decorations did you buy uh none oh you didn't buy anything oh because you bought the fireworks fireworks and these are not worth points on their own it has to be the multiplier of the garment okay so i have that one you have two it's two points plus three three yeah three plus four so seven seven okay okay so i'm going to go to 34. and then now we're going to score the actual garments themselves so if you'd like to score yours sure so it's two plus three plus two so that's going to be seven okay let's just do that now so seven so 45 okay and then two plus two plus two plus four so that's another ten so six plus four is ten ten so you're at 55. wrapping around the board here okay uh and then now we have these ones which is i believe they're all times two right three six seven eight times two which is sixteen sixteen so fifty-five plus sixteen seventy-one seventy-one yeah oh yeah can't can't beat that we're gonna try so so you have two four five 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18. okay let's do that first so so 52 and that included this yes okay so 18 plus 34. it's going to give you 50 to 52. 52. and then come on are you going to get me what is this like 20 times three three times three is nine valiant effort okay so 52 to 61 not even close that's close 10 points yeah 10 points i don't even know what's close these days right yeah in a euro game like this is a true this is a euro game it's been a while since we played a euro game yes but good job thank you yes you deserve that final score monique 61 with me with uh 71. yes that is rococo that's it yep good job this is uh this is one of naveen's uh top 50 games somewhere yeah somewhere in the top 50. i think it was within the top 30 i want to say i could be wrong yeah yeah it was it yeah it was up there and um i still love it good job you were the best tailor in all the land now everybody's going to go to you for all of their tailoring needs that's right and you get the most people up in the fireworks yeah i was like you guys got to check out the view you had the music party though you had a dance party i did i invested in the arts in the arts right yes so i invested in the community very nice well done thank you all right so let's talk about it um like like we were saying earlier this is on your top 50. it is so tell everybody why you love it so much and i mean well i i like it because um it it it's a true kind of it has that true euro mechanisms in it there is area control obviously by getting your dresses out into the different spots there's competition for the different resources timing is very very important in this game in the sense that you don't want to overpay for certain things sometimes you want to go second because those drawers get a little cheaper some of the workers get a little cheaper and you're like you know what i would have liked that worker but i'll take another one for a discount you know a different one so there's lots of things that are kind of going on in the game i will say that uh the game does scale pretty well which i appreciate also in games so um yeah i think it's a fantastic game i i've always been a big fan of games where you're getting one type of resource and trying to turn them in and convert them into points somehow so uh yeah this one has it yeah uh that's probably the best thing or the thing that i like the most in this game kind of what you you touched on where the turn order it's kind of like a little dance this like meta game of turn order of like well who's gonna who's gonna take the first employee who's gonna pay the most and how are you gonna do it are you gonna be able to do it where you can take two resources and you swipe you know two of the good resources from one drawer yeah that whole thing is really neat and um it doesn't really get old right like you have there's seven rounds but by the very end of it you're still like sweating over who's gonna be able to hire the first employee because of the of how the effects get better as you play the further into the game you get that's right yeah so i thought that was really cool i also really like the theme of this game it's so unique it's very um i'm really it's not necessarily like my cup of tea this like time this time period and just this but but the fact that it's so unique and it's so endearing is really nice that plus the eono tool artwork is just like really it's really beautiful on the board i have heard a lot of you know a lot of people say that they had preferred the original version i will say i've only played that version once and it was several years ago so i don't remember it enough to make a true comparison to me this is a game yeah this is now rococo and the colors are beautiful but the thing that's interesting about specifically the deluxified version is usually you'll see those versions for like a really heavy games and this is definitely like in my opinion it's more of a medium medium yeah i would say if it's right in that medium category where it's not super crunchy um it's not super sprawling yeah everything is very contained in this game uh i think the most sprawling thing would be probably the way your deck building works maybe but even that is kind of all its own clothes system yeah it's a very elegant design um the one thing that to me that is a little bit uh kind of weird or finicky are maybe purchasing some of the decorations like the the kitchen and the statue decorations maybe if we learned how to use that to our advantage we would score better yeah but for right now decorations are just such a hard sell in the early game in the early game you find yourself scrambling in the late game to buy them and i guess that is also kind of cool because it does create that tension around the table who's gonna get the decorations that are really important by the end of the game because it helps uh break ties and stuff but definitely that early game it's it's not something you're thinking about yeah uh i really enjoy the deck building part of the game because and sometimes in like these euro deck builders it's like you buy a card and like you almost like never see it again it's like i buy it okay i can use it once maybe get it the second time and then it's like there it goes uh i like the way the mech the mechanism goes where it's like you get to choose all the cards that are part of your deck pick the three that you like for this coming round but think about the ones that you need for the next round because those ones maybe you want to hold back there was one time in this in this game where all the employees came out with the random the way that they're drawn and i was like you know what those are not anything that i really really want so i'm just going to withhold the gold for the next one because i know something sweet has to be coming out later on so um i think that's a very very interesting part of the game that's probably that might be my favorite part of the game is i know i know it's something i was gonna say that too like actually maybe that is the part that i like the most yeah because when you're deciding which employees to hire the colors they matter so much you might really go for that royal favorite token to be first and then suddenly all these bronze cards come out when you're really looking for gold yeah but i do appreciate that all the employees come out first then you make your decision it's not like you made your decision and then these are the guys that we have to hire oh come on yeah and there is a one pager that comes with the game that that tells you all the options that you're going to be able to see because you play out all the cards it's just which level two cards come up first or which level sticks come out first right i would recommend for new players to check out what are the the blue end game scoring cards um before you play that can kind of guide you as like okay what is kind of important in this game what do i need to do to make sure i can try to attempt to score some points it gives you just kind of a framework or an idea as to what's valuable i will say this game i do struggle a little bit in thinking about strategy because i if you're a mathy person i'm sure you can value every time you take an action i'm sure you can value the exchange what the exchange is going to be like in terms of points yeah and that's just not something that i can do as quickly as some people can when they're just like well no that doesn't make sense i'm not going to buy that firework display it's only going to give you a 2x on this garment that much money too excellent but you spent 14 which is just technically a one pointer it would benefit people who can do that really well um there's also some luck of the draw in terms of the the types of resources that will come out and the uh the garments that you'll be able to tailor uh the the luck here is is not super significant you know i've i've explained about games in the past that have like some some real strong elements of luck my game's like grand austria hotel where like you know a lot of the luck really really uh affects your actions that you can take yeah um but this one it's just it's just a matter of the resources and the garments that you can make and it's only uh four colors right so just a matter of having that certain combination of resources and there's a lot of different garments that come out so the chances of you being able to to tailor one of them is pretty high you just have to have the right worker and the the right amount of money and all that is super interesting having the right worker at the right time and then the in the uh the economy of the game it's all really interesting the way it works together yeah and also i will say in a uh this this board is two sided so this is the two and three player version uh there's also the the four and five which is on the opposite side um i really like this game at three players because it's the same board setup and the tighter it's tighter yeah and like really like figuring out your turn order and like seeing resources go by and seeing dresses that you want to make yeah go by and you're like oh if i could just if i could just hire this employee and still that dress will still be there towards the end it'll be awesome yeah um i enjoy the two-player experience but i think the three-player experience is my favorite for this one yeah i i would i can see that it's definitely way less stressful at two it's kind of like fine okay you hire that person i can wait now right i can wait a little bit because i don't think you're gonna hire the other ones yeah that's it and again back to the whole uh pricing of the areas it's a lot more interesting at three places yeah and that's for coco thank you all so much for watching our video today and again thank you to our patreon
