Was looking for a helpful refresher video, having not played Cyclades for a while, and came across your video. Very well done and nicely explained. Thank you!!

[ThrashEver]

Loved your video. Just as long as it needs to be. Clear and easy to follow instructions, structure that flows very well and very efficient presentation. 👌

Was struggling understanding this game for a long time but now I can finally play it

[hanak]

Will play cyclades tonight, thanks for this good video.

[samuelhelderman]

Thanks for the video. I couldn’t remember how to play it. Watching this video and then reading the rule book will have me ready to teach it tomorrow.

[allankamen]

I'm going to be trying this game tonight. I think your video has taught me the general mechanics quite well. The video was well done, one error was repeated often, strength was incorrectly spelled in several locations, otherwise it was great.


I've subscribed.

Wonderful video. I’m just about to play the game tonight and this has really helped.

Hi there, I found this on BGG:
When Chimera arrives in the discard pile, whether it has been used, discarded with Zeus, or because no one bought it, you have to re-shuffle the creature deck and the discard pile.

Hi D&A, loving the English tutorial videos and I would love to see a video on how to play the two expansions (Hades & Titans) in the future.

[grandmasterhundizzle]

Hello! Thank you for your video - it's a very helpful primer to prep for playing this game tonight. I think you did a great job going over the different gods and and actions available. I felt like your explanation was straightforward and succinct.
One thing that would've been helpful for me is circling back to how to build metropolises/win the game after the gameplay explanations. By beginning the video with how to get a metropolis, I didn't have enough context yet of knowing what a temple was or how to get philosophy cards. I had forgotten this near the end, and had to rewatch the opening to figure it out.
Thank you!

One question nobody I kkow could conclusively answer is, during the bidding, even with the discount from Zeus cards, can you still only bid so many coins as you have in your supply and get the discount after that or can you effectively bid your max coins + the number of cards you have.

e.g. I have 5 coins and 3 Zeus cards, can I bid up to 8 and pay my 5? Or can I still only bid 5 and get the favor for 2?

Had jugado Monuments? Piensas que sería bien introducir este ‘module’ a nuevo jugadores?

[riverOfWinds]

De donde eres?? Estoy curioso.

No he jugado este juego pero lo compré y lo acaba de recibir. Estoy tan feliz a intentar este juego. Muchas gracias por este vídeo porque me a ayudando tanto a hacer más fácil enseñar este juego a mis amigos. Enseńanos por favor los expansions porque se que hacen este juego un poco diferente.

Perdón si no escribí todo bien. Aun que se español, se me a olvidado un poquito.

[bryanchia]

hi, may i ask how is the bidding process like if it is 2 players? does the first player puts his offering immediately after placing his first player or puts his offering after the 2nd player puts his 1st offering?

[falidaska]

Two questions
:
Can I buy mythological creatures if I go to Apollon?
Can I save mythological creatures for later or i must use them immediately?

[falidaska]

Can I use my 3 fleet movements in different places on the board for my 1 GP?

[riverOfWinds]

Would you recommend the Hades expansion? I'm not interested in Titans just yet because from what I've read, the Titans expansion adds too much combat.

Thanks! And great video!

[Mauricio_Castaño]

I feel some important rules are missing, just can´t remeber.

[janinecat]

I don't think that's how it's pronounced. You gotta Cyclades nuts.
