Very long review but very complete. Just wished you had done one for Puerto Rico to.. UvulaBobs is kinda light .. I have no idea what the complete game is about... For this one it would be like "You have farms". End of story. Maybe Le Havre is much deeper...

Also I wonder how Puerto Rico compare or if there are better "settlers" games out there. Cuba got lower rating so maybe it's worse. But Puerto Rico look kinda boring. Seen your review.

@JohanKH I did do a video on Puerto Rico. Head to boardgameswithscott and search for Puerto Rico. (I can't link in these comments).

What do you think of Farmers of the moor?

[snicholson]

@Gerstein1 It adds quite a bit to the challenge of the game. If you find the base game too easy, then it's time to jump into that.

How would you compare this game to Puerto Rico? Which one is better and which one do you like more and why?

[snicholson]

@skim0611 They are different. I like Agricola better, but it does take longer, especially with lots of players.

Bought this from reading reviews on BGG. Your overview saved soo much time in reading the instructions the first time through. Much appreciated :)

Very good video again! Helped me a lot :) Keep on making.

Thank you SO MUCH for making this!

I've been reading and re-reading the instructions today and was so confused about what happens when, and how things accumulate, and when to play cards. Probably didn't help that I was trying to play a solo 'family game' version to simplify things, but it just made the instructions even more incomprehensible.

You saved me a headache, and possible regret over spending money on a game I couldn't understand!

Fantastic work Scott. Thank you, this is the first tutorial on the game I both perfectly understood and thoroughly enjoyed watching. I decided to buy the game based on your vid.

sounds great...

but why is it a board game, it should be a video game.

imagine this as Minecraft : the board game, lol

sounds like a good game,thanks for the review!

[ootripo]

Thanks so much for this! I found the instructions impenetrable and not very good at giving a sense of the flow of the game - this is mad enlightening.

Loved this! Just been playing it! What's with the Lederhosen skirty things then?
