Watching your videos Rodney have made me appreciate the art of explaining a game.

I sometimes watch other how to channels simply because you haven't covered the game or they happen to end up higher in the search and almost always I leave within a few minutes and search again hoping you have explained the game too.

What I think you do brilliantly is you explain the flow of the game not just the rules; which most other channels seem to focus on. This flow creates some context to connect everything to which makes all the difference.

Awesome stuff! Keep it up!

Rodney you flip those boxes around like a pro basketball player, love it! Thanks again for another great tutorial.

[lazybum]

Man, that lid flip at the end. Such a pro.

[billymart]

Thank you for the tutorial. I've seen a few reviews but I was never quite clear about the mechanics and I think the reviewers did that in order to not spoil some of the game. I don't own any games that use technology and while I realize that using your phone can be quite useful for some games I was still unsure how well it would be implemented. You did an excellent job demonstrating how to play the game without spoiling it. I now know whether or not this game would be a good addition to my game group.

I like a lot the way this game treats time constraints you have, compared to speed games with timers and hourglasses which are more stressful than fun.

[FrankMinogue]

Oh yeah! This looks really great! My wife is not a huge fan of games with applications but, this looks really great! I have to show her this!

[jhuztein]

This looks so cool!!! And honestly I think this also works well even with just 1 player!

[MeepleMentor]

I think this is a great example of how games can use technology to enhance gameplay. Very excited to try this one out.

[some_random_dude]

Can't believe I missed it when it came out, I just wished for it for Christmas (ok more like I was with my mom buying it) Can't wait to actually play it. Haven't been this existed for a board game in a while

[kennylcrum]

Bringing this game to the table tonight! Can't wait to try it

[DecioDenisBernardo]

Thank you for the tutorial. I've just bought this game, watched this video.. and I'm ready to unbox it and play it!

[BarryDoubletBoardGames]

Ahhhh! you didn't use my music =(
Oh well, at least you will enlightened many people about this great game. Nice job Rodney

[tristanwhitley]

There was only one gotcha that I've found so far as it was having to scan an item at a location when you weren't talking to someone and it "used" that item. This was not explained that you could do and was something we struggled a bit with and did this out of a bit of desperation and it worked. I didn't notice it in the video.

[Loutjee]

I have played this game many times, a real fan here! But still some cases left... I never knew there was a history button you could tap on. Haha, would have helped me out a lot in some cases! 🙈 Thanks for the info and also a great video! 🙂👍🏻

[sweeneytodd]

I want video of all missed box flips in one at end of year. :) Or you know... when box makes that air-sound?...

[MultiRaider]

Another outstanding review! You are great at what you do, ty

[LexFloyd]

5:51 Lesson 712: Never break the pacing of the narration, even if it means you will keep swiping after you have found the right card.

[marcolai]

I really enjoy this game. I wish there was a way to use the front facing camera for scanning cards though

[paradoxbird]

Thanks for your video, This one is a 'must buy'.

[Theotokis.Drougkas]

Hey! Thanks for the great video! I was wondering, the extra scenarios that come with a small cost, must be bought by all players or just by one? Thanks!
