One reason I love board games so much is the level of concentration required helps me when my fibro causes intense pain. I have had a horrible past week and a half, and sometimes meds just don't manage the pain well. But when I am learning how to play a game, or playing a game, I'm thinking so much about the world of the game and the rules of the game that I can feel less pain for an hour or so. It's also something I can do with a heating pad wrapped around one arm or my back and it doesn't exacerbate the pain the way video games do, for example. I feel very thankful for this channel because one of the best things about getting a new game is it focuses me extra much on the game and takes me into an ache-free world for a while. <3

By far, yours are the best explanations and editing out there. Top class mate!!

[apurmal]

Thank you for yet another wonderful game introduction. You are my favorite game introducer/reviewer online these days. Whenever I am interested in a game you haven't covered I'm less likely to check out the info on it.

RODNEY!! I pre-ordered this game a while ago. I'm super happy that my favorite rules teacher made a video for it. 🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓🥓

[sarisamman]

Anyone else impressed how Rodney always picks up exactly 5 cards without counting them out! :P

[SirNichosis]

Ooooo, I really like the trays and mats! Great stuff as always, Rodney. Thanks!

[teejleague]

I preordered this after hearing good things from GBGeek & seeing the playthrough on BGG. RUBBER DUCKIES FOREVER! <3

[teejleague]

WE LOVE IT! Pretty easy to learn and lots of fun to play! It was down to the final round and we were very close on points. I drew 1 card that ruined my life. XD Had that card been on the bottom, the next 3 would have ensured my victory!!!! So it was very, very

[benjaminspears]

I really like the concept of a light deckbuilder. Gameplay reminds me of something like Infinity Gauntlet (Love Letter) with the special abilities on cards. I’ll keep my eyes open for this one! Also….wow…how does Rodney just reach down and draw 5 cards perfectly?

[rolling.reggie]

Rodney, this was the most helpful rules teach I’ve watched. Thank you so much. About to play 8p with my closest friends for the first time! You’re the best.

[teejleague]

I'm supposed to get my preordered copy this week! It looks hilarious and I love your straightforward explanations! <3

[Nebenerwerbsbauer]

I want all the visual magic tricks Rodney does for whenever I explain this or any other game. I explained the games many many times before, but the clarity and structure of your explanations is just unchallenged!

[teejleague]

The best part is when the rubber ducky comes out and destroys everybody. Priceless.

[teejleague]

I can't totally remember the placement, but this was like #2 or #1 on Tom Vasel's family game list of the year. And GameBoyGeek really loves it. I haven't gotten my preordered copy yet but I think we will really, really have fun with it. Great teach! :)

[henriwhitehead]

Great video! Looks like a really fun theme for a deck builder.

[teejleague]

Question..ref 7:20. If you choose to discard, do you always have to draw new ones from the same deck? It would seem so with the earlier rule but thought I'd double check.

[JendersGaming]

Man you make the best videos, such an inspiration!

[ShamankingZuty]

I'm really on the fence about getting this game. The video highlighted some pros and cons, but I am still undecided. Thanks for the detailed video though, I enjoyed watching it.

[msanasiri]

Can you discard the 5 cards, then pick 1 from the other 5, qnd after that get 4 new ones and pick 1 of them?

[scurry]

Hi, Rodney.
I just played a solo tournament after buying the game, and came up with this question:
If the player count is an odd number, does that specific player just keep fighting against the Robot, do is there a way that player get to interact with other players before the final big showdown?
Thanks!
