Awesome, review. It gave me clear instructions on the game and was visually appealing. It helped me with some rules clarifications too as I am learning the new mayfair edition as we speak.

The only thing I think that got accidentally edited out was that during the losses phase, people have to pay for each of their loss cubes.

$10.00 per cube round one
$20.00 per cube round two
$30.00 per cube round three
$40.00 per cube in round four.


And at the very beginning of the tutorial video I incorrectly call the demand tile that I'm pulling from the bag a R&D tile.

Great rules explanation video! We made the mistake of trying to learn the game as a group on our first play... a video like this would have been quite helpful!

Thanks, Ray.

I received my Mayfair copy last week and found the written rules a bit daunting. Your video clears it up a lot.

There were some rule situations that I just didn't get from reading the rulebook but your video cleared it up. Thanks for taking the time to make it and post it! meeple

At one point I chuckled to myself when you said "That's fairly self explanatory." on the one section of the rules that I didn't think the rulebook explained well. The way YOU explained it made it perfectly clear though. Can't wait for this game to hit my table!

Complaints/Observations:
- A Knizia slam? Really? That's totally unecessary and seems petty.
- Are you aware that almost every statement you make pitches up like you're asking a question?
- I think you should write out a script or checklist before starting. It would help the pacing.

I want to buy the version of the game as shown in this video, not the new Mayfair one. I like the tiles for cash instead of paper money.
Anyone want to sell their copy to me? I'll pay top dollar!kiss
