i would love to see more of this one. Thanks for the game.

[zhivik]

An amazing playthrough, and as always, an immense pleasure from having Cole at the table! It shows when Cole is really enthusiastic about his games, and I am so happy we got to see that :) I would very much love to see another take on this, hopefully with Alyssa on board as well.

[TheMylreid]

Probably my favorite playthrough of any game I've ever watched -- seemed like so much fun! Love the laughter.

[elqord.]

Holy hell..what a beast of a game. Can’t wait to get my copy. PS: I love how Cole says he’ll provide a compact teach and then goes into full detail on all almost all elements with a teach that goes over an hour.

[blackrum]

It's so sympathetic to see that even Cole needs to recheck the rules sometimes!

[Arkhonai]

Oh I preordered this one and can't wait its arrival, thank you so much for shooting this video. Will have a great time with it :) Hope you had fun with the new edition as well :)

[BoxofDelights]

Great stuff ! Superb stream and a great teach. Very entertaining guys! Looking forward to getting a copy to the table... R.R.

[SilentBeutlin]

The round 2 parliament phase here is just JoCo2E at its best. Even though Shrey is the least experienced player on the table, he found himself in a position of immense leverage as both Cole and Edward really need his votes, making for some really interesting discussion and in-theme dealmaking. Just good stuff.

[mattsbalgard]

This is hands down the best video on this unique game.

[Feldmrschl]

Awesome stream. I really liked the 1st edition stream from some time ago, but this newer edition looks much better components-wise. I will probably pick up a copy. Please, please, please stream this game again. Very entertaining.

[JAMman]

Rewatched this because joco is awesome and I gotta say, Edward you killed it with the camera during this playthrough

[AndrewCCleverley]

Played this, this afternoon for the first time. Enjoyed it, but we definitely made mistakes so came here to check the rules teach. Hadn't intended on watching the whole thing but it's now 2am and I have work in the morning... but that's a tomorrow problem!

[Tanks.With.Teeth.Malloy]

I am so happy this video exists. I know how JC worked...kinda...but this really nails down everything about the game for me.

[jthor]

What a way to play the game - with the designer! Excited to try this one out with my group. Thank you for the high quality setup and play through. Now I wish I got the metal coins!

[MNNoxMortem]

I can't await to play it. I don't know how Cole does it every single time, but he is such a master crafter. His games just click differently with me.

[gustavakerfelt]

Played our first game tonight, after rewatching this.
Great game, so glad we got it to the table, and so glad i watched this first. Made the rolling teach so much easier and probably about 10 times better.

[aarondovauo]

Such an awesome session! You guys really sold just how fun and interactive I’ve been hoping it will be when my group gets their hands on it. Solid work as usual. 👍

[aelix]

You guys should do an advanced playthrough, I'm really curious how it works.

[Sebastian-rtqf]

Thanks for the stream Edward and thanks for the teach Cole!
Can't wait to receive it this fall. But it will be a tough one for the basic crowd in the game group.

[demo]

fantastic, going in solo boys....and threw in for the upgraded coins as well ;) can't wait
