By far the best short instructions I've found so far, and you included the abbot play. Thank you! I'm going to have new players watch this before game night so they at least have a slight clue of what is happening.

I finally under stand the stealing part of it. Been playing this game on my phone so it added it for me. I bought the physical game for me and my gf to play and needed to know 100% how to score. This the best most straight forward review iv watched. Thanks!!

[christineryan]

This is much clearer than the tutorial on the Board Game arena. Thank you!

[paulvin]

thanks for the video! so much better than having to read the instructions! well I'm off to play!

[archivestereo]

Yeah this is the best explanation out there! Thanks!

[TheMapper]

Great explanation. Thanks a lot! I've been playing the iOS version. I don't think that has abbots -- unless I've been oblivious!

I like the alternative harder rules:
- 2 monastery cant be next to each other side by side
- city made from 2 tiles only scores 2 points, not 4. (or just 1 point to make players avoid do small cities)
- unfinished features all scores half points, not just cities (orharder level: just 1 point only for each features, no matter how many tiles)
With harder level rules you need smarter strategy.

I'd really love to see you do a 'no bs' guide to caverna games. All the introductions found on the web are usually 40, 50 minutes long.. I believe you can do better :)

[prasadvaidya]

If a tile has a city and a piece of road.. and if city is getting completed and for road there is no road around... can i place that tile? Will this be allowed?

[prasadvaidya]

If there is an incomplete city with meeples placed and there is no way the city can be completed can I put the meeples back to my supply?

[Del-Canada]

A guy I knew got his jaw busted in this game over an argument about some road.

[Jontlemen]

It's OK. You should probably have mentioned somewhere that there are many expansions. I've never played with the abbot or gardens myself and have played several different expansions.

[aubreyfrimoth]

My game has a river as well, but I cannot find the instructions. How does that play into this?

[WanderingKumquat]

How do the rivers work? Do I place them down before the start tile
