This video is a thing of beauty. It is a shining example of clear and concise communication. The humor even keeps you engaged. I don't know how much preparation it took to produce this explanation, but it is fantastic. If you could do this on a regular basis, I have no doubt this channel would dwarf watch it played within a year.

I can't think of anything I'd change about this video. Clear, funny(but not to a point of ruining the teaching aspect), good use of editing, shots are visually well laid out, good order to the script. Keep it up.

This isn't the greatest card in the world, it's only a tribune. Well played, sir.

[ClarkPotter]

Excellent. You'll be my go-to for rules explanations for new games.

The Tenacious D reference is what earns rightfully the Like

[frizzlebarr]

Fantastic video, really enjoyed the highlighting of game components as you were talking about them and the subsequent example of the rule you just explained. Subbed

[SteveKlemish]

Wow that is an incredibly clear, well-made, well edited instructional video! Like many of the comments above I can’t think of a single thing I would change. Fantastic work!

[CzarKasm]

Thanks for the concise and humorous presentation. The editing is much appreciated in a sea of stream-of-consciousness babbling channels.

Marvelously balanced between information, comedy, and brevity. Looking forward to more!

This is a great tutorial. Clear, entertaining (without being distracting), very helpful vfx overlays. Really appreciate an updated/modern tutorial to an older game. Channel looks promising, subscribed!

[DirMrsHQoftheScreamingGhouls]

You're such a good teacher. My five year old was instantly engaged. And me too! It really shows that you have played and understand the game. Thanks!

[ryanstaats]

This is a great video. Just funny enough to not be fully dry instruction, but not so goofy it detracts from the actual learning. Great all around, super easy to understand, excellent editing and graphics.

I'm finally getting this classic with the Venus expansion soon and I'm definitely using that Tenacious D joke when I teach this game to my group.

[sterlingsteve]

+1 For the Tenacious D reference at 8:39! Well played.

[richardhanks]

What they all said. Utterly brilliant video! The highlights and animations were so effective and original. Keep up the amazing work :-)

[fredericofilho]

This is probably the best how to play video I've ever seen. Fantastic stuff!!

[BrkenMnkey]

Loving the animated way the pieces move to better see how the game plays. Keep doing more of these!

[inchnamoink]

Best and clearest tutorial for this game I have found! At least on a par with “John gets games”. You sir, have just gained another subscriber.

[KennyZetterberg]

Haven't played Concordia in years... This was a great How-to-play video! Cheers mate!

[AndGamesScience]

Great job always.
If I have a game I want to learn. You are the first channel I check to see if you have a video for that game.
