Being from Cape May I take for granted all the unique things and events that happened in the town, very cool to get a game based in the area. All of the text on the cards and the buildings shown are all real events or places, my church is one of the 2 that were shown. Hopefully there's an event card that is the flooding of South Cape May, which is now under water!

I think I have a reason now to design blueprints for cities thanks to this game. Even the game could be a good display of a city on a coffee table with those cute houses on it, meeples walking around the city, and the board being the ground for the city.

I'm surprised I don't hear about this game more. To me, it is the perfect "level up" from Monopoly and so, so, so much fun. It's got property acquisition but with neat twists and turns.

Thanks for another How to Play, Rodney! By the way, this video brought me interest to this game. My first time seeing and hearing about it, I'll dig for more !

[willmolinar]

This game looks gorgeous! Seems to have a bit of a Cthulhu Mythos type of game feel to it. The event cards, the movement around the board, the ocean being so close... maybe Dagon awaits in the waves ready to strike this resort town at any moment!

[teejleague]

We got this game for Christmas and it is SO FUN...and so full of both strategy and surprises! I thought I was doing awesome because I was accumulating radical wealth throughout the game, but then, at the end, because offices don't count for that part, and because my husband had built more landmarks than me, HE won! Can you believe it?!? XD Anyway, it was not only an super fun game to play, but those buildings are A-MA-ZING!!!! Even the little tokens of the cottages and stores...if you turn them over, they show the opposite side of the buildings. That's a really nice touch. Somebody has really thought about balancing the elements of this game, and the design of it as well.

The game has a great feel of whimsy, but the historical element is fascinating and anchors it into history. I had no IDEA so many things had happened to Cape May, nor would I have ever even considered that something like the World Fair would've hurt the tourism of Cape May for a while. Awesome game.

With a LITTLE less card and action variety, I'd say this would be the perfect game to replace Monopoly at family gatherings.
As for me, I'm definitely interested. Feels like an awesome "bigger" companion to one of my favorites, Santa Monica.

[teejleague]

Still a big favorite!!!! This game has awesome replayability.

Ok Mr. Smith, lets talk about this box twirl stunt you pull off so beautifully every video. Do you destroy your blooper reels or are you saving them for an epic anniversary video are you simply always amazing?

[jackreckner]

Hey Rodney! Love this game so far. Quick question: I have a bonus card that reads “have at least 6 buildings adjacent to or across the street from a church”. The back of the rule packet shows the STREET spaces that are adjacent to the churches, but I’m unclear on what counts as across the street building spaces or adjacent to building spaces. Thanks for the great video!

Solid job on another game that did not have as much press. Wish Paula was along with you on this one as she had the awesome "in costume" preview video for Cape May as well.

[FrankMinogue]

This definitely looks interesting!! Great mechanics and an interesting concept! I will think about this one!!

[blackboardgaming]

Thanks for this teach, Rodney! This game is definitely on my radar!

[liesbethbos]

Thank you Rodney, I am hoping to bring this to the table tonight and used your video to refresh my memory :-) Also, I liked the little lantern in your background, and that it was on! I then wonder about the story behind it... (where is that little lantern? do we still have lampoil? ) I love details like this. Also, fun game. Great video.

[acpudman]

Thanks for the video……. Looking forward to playing when it gets delivered…… got a tracking number a few days ago.

[dougcerulli]

Thanks for the video! I think in light of the increasing number of solo players out there, you may wish to begin dedicating a few minutes of your videos to address some solo rules. It'd be nice to know what type of solo play it is before purchasing.

[lazypanda]

Great video! I appreciate these "how to play" videos! I am wondering if you can do a "how to play" video for "Food Chain Magnate"?

[wyz]

Awesome! i'm a huge fan of thunderworks games :D

My girlfriend’s family goes every year. Gotta get them a copy!

Hey I'm Tiynuwan
I like every video you do and I have a little question😆 How many board games do you have? I have 3 board board games and those are monoploy, chess and checkers. Never mind if you don't want to answer my question because I know I'm asking crazy questions. (My friends always telling that😂)
But until the next comment thanks, for reading.😅
