Watching the old rodney videos with his children, of the first edition of this years ago, was some of my earliest hobby memories.

[modernadmiral]

I went from having completely no idea what this game was, to understanding it enough to confidently teach this game to a friend in 15 minutes. Awesome job as always Rodney!

[bilanggoboy]

He spun that box perfectly, and drew 5 cards exactly! Rodney is a wizard!

[Calamity_Kyle]

I just gave this video a re-watch to remind myself of the rules and wow, it must be said just how incredible the production value is here and how fantastic your overall delivery is. The rules are clear, easy to follow, and you make it entertaining. This is absolutely the bar set for professional standard. Major kudos to you Rodney. Been watching for years and it's awesome to see how far you've come.

[missamo]

The new graphic additions on the video, like the highlight circles and board space highlights are nice!

[FiveToedSloth]

I'd probably never play a game like this without this channel. Reading rules? No thanks.

[wyz]

Hey! you could do a playthrough of this new edition with Andrea. You could have your revenge for the game 9 years ago 🤣

[MUNE_tkm]

this is one of the most concise and well-made tabletop game tutorials on Youtube by far. understood everything perfectly!

[FrozenDice]

I remember watching the First Edition video from forever ago. Awesome to see you able to return to this one, Rodney.

[rubywilson]

I wouldn't mind seeing you play it on-screen again. If you want to, of course.

[nicholasburrage]

Wow this looks surprisingly easy to teach. Ordered. Thanks so much for the super smooth video, Rodney!

Plaid Hat Rodney is the best Rodney! Already fully subscribed for Summoner Wars 2nd Ed

[morhamwl]

The rules of the game are very clearly explained. I searched in my native language - Polish - and didn't find any good ones. Thanks!

[RaptieFeathers]

This is an amazing How to Play video. I love how it explains in a way that even people unfamiliar with card games are. Is so inclusive of all kinds of players.

(Also, I've been playing Magic since it first came out, and it changed my life for the better.

However, Summoner Wars is my favorite game of all time and as soon as I saw it was going to have a Second Edition I bought it SO fast.

The artwork is SO much better than the first edition and I really like how much diversity of characters to go along with the diversity of decks. <3)

I was a freshman when I started watching your videos and now I'm almost 30(why God waaaai)! Channels that stayed for that long are just full of good memories :D

[AdamPiatkowski-rofo]

You make explaining games look so easy and then we mere mortals try the same and fail miserably :) thank you Rodney of the distant past for yet another great video

[akuobake]

Your videos are always my first destination whenever I’m looking at a new board game — I can’t believe I hadn’t subbed yet! This has been rectified :)

I wish I was half as good at explaining how things work— I truly appreciate the concise clarity with which you present the rules of play.

[ThatGeekyMaker]

Ooh a second edition of Summoner Wars! I didn't know this was coming. Summoner Wars has been out of print and hard to get for a long time. Looking forward to finally trying it.

[jajaja]

Love the new way you use to point at the stat on the cards

[rjtopper]

We loved the original game. Played the heck out of it for the longest time. Might look at the comparison between the two to see if the changes are worth giving it another go. Thanks for the video.
