Oranienburg is a town north of Berlin.

It would be very helpful in these kinds of videos if people could name the cards they are taking/activating/ referring to, as they are doing so, rather than just saying “this” or “there”. Viewers can’t discern them visually so it would make it much more interesting to know what’s what.

Mistake at 02:04:58. Paul's friend spends the clay on a path, then realizes he cant do it, doesnt build the path but doesnt put clay back either, then for building he needs the 2 clay, he pays 2 Thaler for it. So lost 2 points for no reason, he had the clay.

Great video Paul 😊 would have loved a review on this one 😃
PS. Kanal does NOT have its own entry on BGG! Just so you know.

End of first round you shouldn't have placed a coin on the last square on the bottom row. Paul used that space with the third action but just handed that token over too fast.
Thank you for the play through. Looks a lot like glass road

Black Frest or Kanal. Production wise Black Forest looks nicer

[KenDudd]

Not sure I like a lot of the changes. The iconography seems less clear than the original. Also, the tokens to say how many activations a building has had seem a little redundant. It's never seemed like an issue in the original.

Square cards and no yellow buring your eyes out? Kanal looks a lot nicer than the original.

[jeffhiatt]

Seems like the iconography might be better, but the look of the game is dark and ugly. And the small square cards seem to have sacrificed utility for space. And the subtle color differences between roads and canals is just stupid. I imagine the only chick on color was done on a bright monitor where the colors looked sufficiently different.

Glad the US release will "fix" some of the less clear aspects, such as the color difference of the canals / roads.

But my old eyes sure prefer the bright and more easily read first edition.
