Great question about the percentages! And very pleased to know they are unaffected.

[MarcelDes]

Nice to have Maxime and Connor live! As part of the campaign I hope to have the option of 1 extra neoprene and wood pieces for the base.

[pat_riceQC]

great video, I like the changes made like more interaction with other players, and also exchanging resources

[corey]

Great video and liking the changes/additions talked about. Looking forward to this!

[amazingConSim]

Thanks for the interview, Paul! I have played the base game once and I like it. It is not complex so I can relax and play it. Look forward to this expansion and all the expansions to come.

[bradybennett]

Super excited for this. It sounds like every element of the expansion is just going to make an awesome game even better!

[solsang]

letting another player search for the germinating card will both save time and let other players be more involved, maybe one player is really good at searching and can be the one doing that !

[elikurtz]

Really excited for this and thank you for the enjoyable insight :D

[rjcomboni]

Fof those wh already have earth, it would be great for the kickstarter campaign, to have a deluxification kit fro the base game together with the deluxe expansion.

I am interested in this, I like how much they have thought things through that were sticking points. Although I took the blue action more than the yellow. I like the storage option though.
I had zebra plants growing up and never knew they were herbs.
Exchanging the leaf token might be good in two player game too.

Hi @Maxime 👋🏼
I'm absolutely delighted to finally see this expansion. I can't wait to play it.
When I heard about it I was worried it might spoil my favourite game of 2023, but it looks like you've really put it in a lot of effort to enhance the experience.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to love it 😁
Great job, thanks 👍🏼

[StewartEnnew]

liking the bit of player interraction, forcing you to look up from your own tableau to see if there is a scoring opportunity.

[andrewfairley]

Will there be the option to add any promo cards/content that has been released as part of the Kickstarter campaign? Very excited about this - Earth was one of my top games of last year!

[karldoughty]

Great video 👍🏼
One question though. Do the cubes in your storage area provide any points at the end of the game or are they 'dead'?
Thanks 😊

Great game by Maxime Tardif! I look forward to play with the new expansion. Earth is one of the best game to play at 5 players and will surely be as good with a 6th player.

[dshortdesign]

Thank you for making an amazing game. I'm so excited for this expansion!

I do have one request though. Please don't have any interactive actions that allow a player to choose another player. I saw that in one of the red cards in the video. Please keep all interactions to "all players" or "all other players".

Curious how the “per thing on the player to the left or right’s board” will work in solo, since the bot doesn’t keep a tableau. (As well as any other effects on SOLO, of course.)

[PeterFinneyUK]

Looks like the player board updates could be a bit of a faff with overlays or add on boards, etc. I think I'd be happy paying a few extra $ to get a full set of replacement boards. Especially if that means it all fits in the fancy Folded Space insert.

[zhivik]

I appreciate they are trying to mitigate the luck of the draw, given how many cards there are already. My first thought when I read the video title was - do we really need even more cards in a game that has too many? But I guess I will keep an open mind, what I heard is a step in the right direction, though I find the game fine as it is. Also, the updated rule on the blue action improves things, which is also a good step.

[Resilio]

What a nice surprise Paul, you usually don’t upload on Saturday 👍😃
