How to Play Ethnos in 6 Minutes - The Rules Girl

Learn how to play Ethnos, CMON's 45-60 minute area control and set collection game for 2-6 players, in just 6 minutes with The Rules Girl. In Ethnos, players call upon the support of fantasy Tribes like centaurs, wingfolk, or giants to unite the six Kingdoms of the island. The goal of the game is to win, and you win by having the most Glory, typically earned by playing large Bands of Allies, or controlling Kingdoms.

This rules explanation was commissioned by CMON to use in an upcoming trade show; we figured we'd double dip and post it here too!

Thank you for making professional looking board gaming videos that are short and to the point. Pretty rare in this medium.

I'm glad I watched this video. I was on the fence about whether I should consider this as my next purchase or not and after having watched how the game is essentially played, I think I can safely say 'not'. It just doesn't seem to be the type of game I'd enjoy playing that much and I really doubt I'd ever really choose Ethnos over Terraforming Mars, Blood Rage or Scythe. But, that's a good thing. The video was very informative, explained the game's mechanics in detail and has led me to make a more informed decision, which I always appreciate.

Great video! This is how it's done, this is all you need to know to play the game. The WatchItPlayed video is a boring 21 minutes with convoluted explanations and fluff.

I wish you had a video for Eclipse. About to get it on the table for the first time this Thursday and explaining it to 4 other people is going to be a nightmare.

Are you sure about adding a control marker you have to add ALL the control markers in the area because another vid said you have to surpass just YOUR OWN number of control markers in an area to be able to add another. If you have to add all players markers with a band it seems like with a ten hand card limit it might restrict you.

Any chance you could do one for Fury of Dracula?

"The goal of the game is to win."
