I love it when you present and teach "older" games. Your playthroughs and explanations are so clear and fun to watch. Got this game on sale almost 1 year ago. Still waiting to get it to the table. Might now be sooner than later. Thank you both and also to your patreon supporter for suggesting it!

I love it when I start to research if a game is suitable for me and I find you have done a video on it! It's very much appreciated.

Dang, y’all are just so good at doing these playthroughs and reviews! While I might not always watch the complete playthrough, the teach and the final thoughts are always a joy to listen to. It’s succinct and helpful yet still casual. Both of you do a good job at balancing speaking time too which is great. Thanks for all your hard work!

Monique and Naveen. Thank you for producing this video. I have had the game for about 6 months but haven't played it. After your outstanding teach and playthrough I am now excited to get it to the table. Also looking forward to your opinion of the extras/expansions in the wrapped box you are exploring in the near future.

Rajas of the Ganges is one of my favorite games. I agree that it is one that I don't play compulsively, but enjoy revisiting multiple times per year.

I just wanna say that this is the first time I felt the rush!!! My god, good job I fell in love with this game... I know it's an old one going to a classic, I'm going to get it on Christmas from me to me!!! Congrats, I enjoyed really enjoyed this video!!!

We're finally getting this back to the table tomorrow. Thanks for the refresher.

You are my favorite couple of board games on YouTube.
Very good video as usually.

Such a great game. Love seeing you two play older games.
Played this soo much in preparation for the dutch national boardgaming championship in 2019.

It's so funny to watch and see great moves being played, and then complete silly mistakes like Naveen turning in a green 2 value die for 2 purple which he could have done in the palace and gotten an extra bonus chit. And after that Monique spends a 4 and 1 to buy a 5 tile, when she could have easily used Karma to flip that 1 to 6 saving the 4.

It might be 6 years old, yet this game is really an EYE CATCH! Love Euro games and this one is going to be my next addition to the collection while I'm on the look out for Uwe Rosenberg games. Thanks for the great review!!

One of my top 5 games from my top boardgame content creating duo. Awesome stuff!

You guys are intelligent and articulate IMO. An excellent review of a very well designed game. Perhaps I am slow witted, as I had to go back and watch parts of the video multiple times, because I found it difficult to see why you were choosing the options that you did from the myriad of available choices, in order for me to gain a feel for the strategy. But I enjoyed the video very much. Many thanks for posting.

I didn’t realize this was from the Brands! My first more-than-Catan game was Village, and I remember it breaking my brain and really not working for me back then. Now, many years later, I love it and am so happy to own it and introduce it to others.

[KanekHQ]

Great explanation and play through! I am playing it tonight, hopefully I can win with these tips

[susanoerter]

Love watching you play games. this one is new to me. I get to play Ark Nova this afternoon.

[nelsongalvao]

You guys are aewsome. I'm now wondering if a really want this game or if i just want to play with you. Great work guys!!!

[JeanDubuc]

This game is so much fun!
Watching you play it makes me want to get it to the table asap!

“A game you come back to after a while” basically says that it’s an evergreen. I have the same feeling. It’s the first game I took to the game club after COVID restrictions finally lifted because I knew how to teach it, even after not playing it for a year and a half. It’s one of my favorites.
The expansions from the 2 goodie boxes are great to spice up the game and increase replay ability.

[redantec]

One of my favorite games! So glad you did this one! Great work

[LillaJag]

Maybe a playthrough with the new expansion and play with the advanced side!
