"Let's Play!" - Episode One - "Star Trek: Fleet Captains"

Great vid, very well edited! We certainly need more good boardgaming in-depth shows like this :)

Thanks everyone! I'm currently scheming up plans for this month's video...

Got this for Christmas and started reading the rules - this video will really help as I work my way through those rules. Thanks for doing this.

Nice video, Alot better then other let's play of board game, that I have seen. Greetings from Denmark...

Great idea as an alternate (or addition) to standard game review videos. Great use of props and sound effects, too!

@ md88flyer...RE: 13:36...Funny "behind the scenes" story to this one: while I was editing this, iMovie collapsed under the weight of all my technical tweaks and I very nearly lost the entire project. I managed to recover it but fixing the erroneous "barely enough movement" reference would have cost me a huge, time-consuming re-edit. So, since it was still a legal play, I just let it slide. I know, I suck. :o(

Hey, randalx, keen eye! This was my other motivation for doing this vid...to keep me honest!

Correct on both accounts! I couldn't do both. If I ever do a "Director's Cut", I'll edit out the second card @ 5:15 and the Control Token add @ 11:20.

Thanks!!!

At 13:36 you move out of your command post. That only cost 1 for your first move to the first adjacent tile. You then spend 3 to cross that tile to the next tile. Your total movement spent is 4. If you THEN wanted to cross into the next tile you would have to spend 3 more bring your total to 7. Because your movement is 6 you are unable to do so. Just to be clear, you did not spend 3 and 3 to get to the scenod tile as stated in the video.

Great Job. Thanks so much for doing this video on this game. I look forward to your upcoming "Let's Play" videos!

[dlgcp]

@ Rendalx...Right you are! I'll have to do some carefully trimming for the inevitable "Director's Cut"!

[randalx]

Very useful video. Keep it up!

[randalx]

At 11:20 it looks like you performed 2 influence actions (exert influence + build installation). I think youu can only perform one action per ship.

[randalx]

At 5:15 you played Emergency Power and System Bypass. Aren't you limited to only playing one command card (as per page 8 of the rules)?

[dlgcp]

Thanks! I already have three concepts lined up for the next few episodes...

You did a great job with this "Let's Play"! I found it very entertaining & you kept a brisk pace. I can't wait for the next one!
