It's gotten to the point that when my gf hears the intro music she yells cause she has figured out I will probably be spending money soon.

Rodney, thank you so much for such an awesome and thorough "Watch it Played" video! I never thought I would watch one of your videos for a game I created. What a moment!!! #BucketlistItem

[SupremeDistraction]

Oh my goodness, those custom gnomes 🤣 Great video, Rodney. I picked this up from my FLGS yesterday and am looking forward to playing this weekend!

[suzanneyester]

Great video Rodney! Thanks! And love those Rodney gnomes 😄

[BradsterBW]

Excellent teach as always. Thanks Rodney. We can’t wait for our pre-order to arrive.
Wife has custom gnome envy. 😊

Just picked this up at Gen Con and really looking forward to diving in! Though, I’ll be missing my custom Rodney gnomes. Haha!

[margiemartinson]

I want a Rodney gnome! Very excited, I didn’t attend GenCon, but a friend did and bought the game for me. Hoping to play this Sunday.

I'm looking forward to playing this game. Thanks for the video Rod!

[henriwhitehead]

Great video! Gnome matter what your videos are always good.

[BoardGameRundown]

This game looks fantastic. Looking forward to playing this. Great video. The designer is also very handsome.

Playing our first game shortly after lunch! Took me this long since purchasing at Gen Con thanks to Covid knocking me out of commission for last week!

[franky.]

Looks fun, I'll have to keep my eyes out for a copy

[sweeneytodd]

Rules question/clarification - @13:50 it is stated that I can connect path if there are my (same colored) gnomes and cannot connect, if they are different colored. But rule book, page 9, states that "Two unfinished paths that both have Gnomes on them cannot be combined into one.", not clarifying colors of gnomes. That is also how BoardGameArena is implemented. Not sure which is correct way.

[NancyIhasz]

When all the tokens on the market are full for one colour, there seems to be one spot, apart from the 2x space, that's also free, can that be used over and over?

[rolling.reggie]

Hello fellow BGA users! Let's collectively thank our buddy Rodney with likes lol

[MsNilba]

Me and my friends played this at GenCon and we LOVED it!

Once question that popped up for us is someone ended up with like 10 Blue Mushrooms so they broke it down and bought 8 and then exchanged another 2. Then they sold 4 yellow. Is that allowed? We weren't sure since the rules say two sets of mushrooms we figured it was OK even though it was 3 sells.

[powzar]

Question…. What if I have a completed ring, but the center does not have a tile. Can I still place the sign, or must I play a tile to fill the space?

[marciapeterson]

When a wildflower has completed a circle and then another circle uses that same wildflower are both circles then counted as one big one?

[neopet]

Omg, i need those Rodney gnomes for my game, Please tell me they make them.

[amyavona]

I'm completely serious - is there a way I can buy Rodney gnome tokens?
