Teaching Video about the Republic of Rome board game

[DancerInDC]

Enormously helpful - thanks, Scott. The rules for this one made me want to cry, but I think I'm starting to get it.

everything perfect .. But please change lamps :-)

Heh, I had to get through the whole video before I was sure that I had played this before. It would have been before I was really into boardgames (although I had played catan and lots of magic). It mustn't have been that memorable but now I know that I've played the game.

I was looking for a solitaire game to play and this was very interesting to me - very informative, thanks!!

[ORCA4312]

Excellent video, Scott. A LOT of work for a game you don't even like.

I think I could really get into something this complex, but probably not the rest of my gaming buddies.

I would always enjoy seeing more videos on game mechanics, if you have any planned.

[telkines]

i have bought this game in spanish too

[devaloki]

is this game good solo?

[MrHypnofan]

Getting a little off topic, when were you interviewed by Mo Rocca?

[snicholson]

@MrHypnofan It was for a board game segment on CBS called "Board Games Through the Ages". I can't post a link in a reply here, but just search for that phrase here on YouTube and you'll find it.

Intro=my worst nightmare ^^

[DestrinStorm]

We really struggled with the Valley Games rulebook working out when a drawn card should go into active/inactive/imminent wars and when new cards activate old ones etc.etc.

Will definitely check out those living rules for the next time we try. Impressed you said the early game takes 4 hours, or first attempt took nearer to 10 whilst we were learning the rules!

[CurasalaBasura]

Great video, with a great objective.

[WelcomeToZomboCom]

I think there's a variant to replace the mortality rule?

[WelcomeToZomboCom]

you finally did it haha, fulfilled your deal

[cheeseman350]

That was a great opening. I was laughing so hard my wife had to come check on me. Thanks Scott.

[joelat713]

LOL. Sorry fell right on your pilum.

[HappyModder87]

Thank you Scott for allowing me to indulge myself within the brilliance of this video :)

[andmaketherain]

Great post Scott.

[Beckikaze]

On the one hand I am not interested in that game. But on the other hand I really appreciate to see you back in full-lentgh-action. Your videos are the best. :) Best greetings from Germany.

[BrokenSplinter]

Think rather just play laser grid chess like in Big bang theory 

[TheJelloEmperor]

LOL @ Dice Tower reference. At least the last game that was dropped on you was "Sorry!" Hahaha... couldn't help myself.

[cfrend]

I love complexity but the Roman theme just turns me off. Thanks for the video!

[coolintruddle]

This game looks way too involved. This is more like a simulation than a game. Boring. Give me Carcassonne any day. :)

[campaz83]

the creme brulee cup of death!

[BrokenSplinter]

@campaz83 Ramekin of death

[mns000001]

@BrokenSplinter

I thought that was a souffle cup...

[BrokenSplinter]

@mns000001 I think you do souffle in a ramekin... But not 100% sure

[Staarfury]

It's a very sad occasion but it's nice to have a new Not-BGWS video.

[Minecraft1996]

Poor Tom.

[spurned]

It looks interesting, but I feel like I wouldn't have anyone else that would want to play it with me.

[Rothkeen]

But damn, it feels like a "heavy" game.

[josda1000]

Good to see you again.

And very sorry to hear about Vasel's loss...

[Rothkeen]

Nice, finally more good vids from you.
