Great video, I really like your style.

If I could make a suggestion...maybe mention the winning condition/end game scoring. Dug the format though.

Constructive criticism is more than welcome.

One of the main concepts of what I'm trying to do is to keep the gameplay segment as trimmed as possible. I'm trying to give as brief of a description as possible and still relay how the game generally plays. I'm trying really hard to avoid doing a rules explanation/tutorial. That's why I didn't delve into specifics like scoring.

It may seem quick and easy but that gameplay segment took alot of time and effort (and retakes) to sculpt and condense.

That makes sense. You have to make what you want to make after all.

I definitely understand the time thing, it takes me about 90-120 minutes to put together a 5-7 minute video.

Keep up the good work!

Excellent video! I like the style and way that you explained it. I was watching when you rolled the dice - you rolled a skull on the second roll. Then you rolled the skull again which is not allowed!!! But then after careful inspection, I saw you had the leadership development checked off. haha just keepin ya honest!

And another minor error: You were accumulating more than 6 goods prior to a turn starting without also having Caravans.

Also I don't have my iPhone app handy to verify but I think Leadership doesn't allow you to re-roll skulls.

Edit: I remembered wrong: You may re-roll one Skull using Leadership (at end of the 3 rolls, naturally).

it's allowed if you're playing solo.
