Best tabletop instruction channel there is! It's like you knew I just bought this game. :)

I got excited when I saw this in my subscription feed. I just joined a gaming group last week (via MeetUp) and I saw a couple playing this Imperial Settlers game. I sat next to them thinking they were part of a gaming group but they were on their date and they just happened to walk in the same location at the same time as a gaming group! They were so nice to let me ask them about the game and I told them that I'd be interested to play with them if they come next week and join a gaming group. They said yes! Because of this tutorial video, I'll be ready to play this game when I see them! I'm so excited. Thanks, Rodney! Perfect timing!

We like to double check if we understand the game well from the rulebook and it's always a pleasure to find out you covered that particular game. Just like now where I misunderstood some rules and found out thanks to your great instructional video. Thanks!

[iliaskokkotos-andreou]

Thank you for your wonderfully insightful instructions; you make learning how to play games a fun experience! Hats off to you, sir!

[NostraDunwhich]

Great "How To Play" as always!

I am going to have to queue this up for new players next time this one hits the table.

I finally started to just bring up your videos to show players while I set up a game rather than me being the only who watches and * tries * to teach after set up. lol. Obviously, just watching the full videos you put out goes MUCH better

[lare]

When I go to city next weekend, I gotta visit the board- and role playing- game store. Maybe this game can be found there!

[dasnack]

Great implementation of things discussed in the previous video like hand size/privacy and limit of components (or lack thereof). As always, very good job.

[angelgarcia]

This guy is awesome. I got to him for most of the board games I get.

[edwardwendt]

Excellent, I just bought this, can't wait to play.

[dalek]

I’m late to the party. This game arrives today and I’m looking forward to playing with my wife. Your tutorial is going to save us a lot of time. Thanks so much!

[batgirllovemuse]

Thanks for this video, I had some doubts after reading the game instructions, but this explained everything

[davidbartal]

Amazing video! In just 15 minutes I understood everything, so we can try this game (and then if it's so good then buy it). Are you going to make a video about the Deus board game?

[Marccp]

Good choice of game to explain. I really like this one solo, but have not tried it multiplayer.

[misdirections]

Perfect timing; I just bought this! Thanks!

[ag]

Brilliant as always Rodney. Just bought a copy of the game with the first expansion online. And yes, I still think you and Pep look the same. (yes it's the guy that started that rumour. :) )

[francescospuntarelli]

Rodney you hit the point!!! Good game and wonderful presentation

[WilliamTaylorII]

I've been thinking of picking this up. Thanks so much for doing this!

[wetwillyccma]

Hope you would do this video Rodney. I found a mistake that we were playing. You are the king of Instructional videos buddy. Will you ever do one explaining the Atlanteans? With all the new stuff in it, it might help players. Thanks for the great video's.

[brainedema]

yay- recently bought it so perfect timing! Thank you, Love your videos. so so good.
