First, you remain the absolute best at the how to play video.
My wife will not play a game with me that I can not explain in 5 minutes unless you have done a video. Thank you!

Second, will you ever do a video about the behind the scenes work you do to get your teaches so clear? You are one man and thousands of board games come out every year, the math does not work—-we will have to learn and teach some games without your help.

Thanks again.

"Full of sprawling staircases, bamboo, and questionable architecture." Love that line. As to the game itself, I'm looking forward to it; I love it when my fandoms come together.

The name of this game alone makes it a classic :D
Edit: oh, wow, it's a Lego game!

I'm glad they're utilizing bulding properties in a game that otherwise wouldn't be possible. Regular cubes or tokens wouldn't fit the purpose. Also, I already preordered the game (prior to watching your excellent video) not knowing too much about it, so I'm relieved it isn't just some roll and move type of game.
Your video explained the rules thoroughly, as usual, so a brief moment to look up the rules when the game arrives would be enough to start playing. Thanks!

Honestly, they got me at Lego. I recently started collecting and now anything Lego is making me grab my wallet :D

"You and your fellow monkeys..." I'm in! I'm in.

You should have added in some sound effects of Lego rattling around inside a box when you did the boxspin! 😂 Also, "nub"? Is that a game term? I've always heard them referred to as "studs".

[Tyrogandio]

So it's possible to build a spiral, so long as you connect a part of it to the palace and have enough support beams?

[benmurphy]

This is not what I expected to see today😂

[DenisRyan]

Will this be available in my friendly local game store, or only through stores that already sell Lego?

[TheAmazingYeti]

I cannot find this to purchase anywhere! Who do I send my money to?!

[tomoshiro]

This game is ripe for potential monkeyshines
... Sorry I’ll see myself out
