My wife was having a lot of trouble with brain fog (fibromyalgia), and got into gaming to improve and sharpen her skills and also because it is something we can do from our bed, with a board. Because of your channel, she has learned so many games and taught them to me. But my biggest thanks is how you actually care about your fans and always have a kind word. You've helped her so much with her daily struggle with fibro without even knowing it. Thanks for being a nice guy in a world where that isn't often rewarded. And thanks for great gaming videos, too. We are going to try this one today.

I heard about this game and totally forgot about it. It fascinates me. I don't think I would've picked it up without this video, but this really encourages me to get it. Reading directions on a game this complex without a video are really difficult for us. Thanks so much for this!

[jennifersims]

I LOVE it when a game I already own gets a Watch It Played video! Thank you so much for this! We haven't played it yet so this video will be very helpful! 😊😊😊

[tallmike]

This is amazing timing! I was planning to play Maglev Metro since I just purchased it.. and an expansion kickstarter is coming up! Whoa! Thanks!

Rodney is part of an elite group of teachers. This video is fantastic.

[benleague]

You've introduced us to a train game we really like already, Ride the Rails. This one looks like another we'd enjoy. The robots and passengers add an interesting element.

This one has been high on my list for a while. Now I can have my fellow gamers watch the video to see if the want to play!

[henriwhitehead]

Great video! Very cool looking game. 😎

[cartmanbeck]

I always wonder how many takes he has to do to get the box-spin-catch right :)

[Asaloy]

Your explanations are the bests out there!

[dshannon]

Rodney is the Mr. Rogers of boardgaming.

If you get any more smiley at the beginning of your videos you're going to pass out🤣

[lazarocortez]

If you want to buld a track on the lake you need two units. Can you pay with two actions too, assuming there is only 1 unit per action?

[nshaw]

I cannot watch you say 'This piece of Track' without internally translating your voice to attitude-Era The Rock...

[rjtopper]

So, I'm curious if you've played this through and if you have any friends with "clumsy hands"? With the track just laying there, was there any problems with people bumping them or constantly having to realign them when people take their turn?

[markslater]

Can a players track cross over thier own track tiles?

[Batp]

I'm surprised you haven't done a Moonrakers how to play yet.

[thessik]

Hey Rodney! was wondering if there were plans for you to do a tutorial for Tiny Epic Dungeons?

[CMartMatross]

I’ve been looking at this game for awhile, but am unsure about getting it. I own Railways of the World and all of the maps, is Maglev different enough to own both? All of the gameplay that I’ve seen, they seem very similar.

[docteurslump]

Ok, we acknowledge that the spinning box never falls down ... But how does it get into the right orientation every time ? 😅
