CORRECTIONS:
25:30 - Somehow a shard on our opponent's side was moved counter-clockwise once, so they shouldn't have been able to do a 2 damage & 1 heal action this turn.

I've seen several videos on Madcala, but this one made me decide to back it. Thank you!

Very clever action system in this one! And of course, the presentation is amazing. Thanks, Jon!

This game looks so much fun, thank you for the brilliant video, it helped me decide to back it 😊

Indeed, I thoroughly enjoyed this video Jon. Mancala is one of my favorite games/ mechanisms and Madcala adds excitement to an otherwise boring abstract mathematical puzzle. I'll be looking for this as soon as it hits retail.

By the way, small oops that was missed at 25:30. The piece that you moved on opponent's side to deal 2 damage + 1 heal was reset to same plate so opponent's move was same. No biggie but the Klingon subtitle didn't pop up.

If only I could play this and wonderlands solo… I’d play them!

I own Wonderland's War, and I love it. Still on the fence for this one after watching the videos. I was hoping you could add to the pledge just the minis and color rings but apparently you have to buy everything from the first game to do that.

So I have question...
1. Alice refreshed her sword card, but the token was still in use on one of the White Rabbits card. Does this mean she can't use it again even though she refreshed it? Or will there be extra tokens for the situation?
2. What happens if one person runs out of shards? Are they just unable to use any of their Plus ones at that point, until they figure out how to get more shards back?
3. Is there no limit on how many commoners or plus ones you can use per turn? As long as you have the resources you can use everything in the same turn?
Thank you in advance for answering my questions. I LOVE mancala and I'm excited to back this new variation of the game! 😊

Should use your doubler at the end, make them -2 lol

The game looks great. Unfortunately, with shipping, it's just too expensive.
