Wow... I can't believe I got the rule about surpassing wrong... Thanks so much!

I love these tests! I got them all right. Thanks for the challenge!

Had them all correct! I guess it pays of that I am often the guy who explains games to others. So reading rule books is a part of the hobby I do like a lot. 😉

Hi,
In your first example you mention (31:00) the possibly unlocked +2 from the payers board and I wondered about the player board +3? Does that make +5? If another player tied with them would that make it 6+ 5 + (combined 2nd place) 6 /2 + their 5?
So in your third example fuel is spent in the prelude...this is because any one resource can be spent for the card?...and this includes face down cards? A learning game yesterday was a little confused as to whether a pip or the card qualified the prelude resource use and I'd forgotten most of the tips from watching your video a couple of weeks ago.

All of your points are very helpful even without knowing the game or answers by the way.
Thank you.

Really amazed at how this approach teaches as well as entertains so well. Do you have any future videos upcoming? I even like them for games I don't own! :)

Ad test 7 - you mustn’t move ambition markers that have already been assigned to an ambition.
