After playing the game and re-watching this video, I think you could have structured it better. You don't go into the core mechanic of rolling dice and distributing them until the very end of the video, which makes it hard to relate to all the other actions how you perform them. I'd say try to structure them so you explain the core mechanics first before explaining everything else.
PLEASE stop flipping the games from hand to hand during the intro. It is distracting. Maybe it's just a peeve of mine, but give it a try, I think it will help the presentation.
Review issues: pedantic, disjointed, & forced. Maybe practice a bit and watch your video first to check to see if you are lecturing or describing a game.
so wait, you pronounced it correctly the first time, and then mispronounced it to please the people that criticize your for mispronouncing it? i'm so confused.
Maybe I missed it, but I don't think you mentioned how players can spend influence to modify their dice: either 1 influence to reroll a die or 4 influence to turn a die over to the opposite side. I think this is a significant mechanic along with buying other players dice because it allows players to substantially mitigate bad dice rolls, unlike games like Stone Age and Kingsburg.
hm, mabye a fun game but i think i will buy Alien Frontiers instead. thank you
