I don't often comment on videos, but I really think you are the best source of a simple, understandable explanation of how to play a game. My friend got Blood Rage, and in the process of trying to figure out how to play, we happened across your video. After watching, I turned to them and said "I think that was the best board game tutorial video I have seen." They agreed. I subscribed. Please keep it up.

PS do you take requests? I don't have any at the moment, but am just looking forward.

Once again, I have to thank you for your hard work. I have purchased this is a birthday present for a non-gamer relative of mine. Included in the birthday card is a link to this video. Anything more complex than Monopoly can be a bit of a head scratcher for non-gamers, and while this is a pretty simple game, without any gaming experience, even these rules can be daunting. You make a real difference to whether they play it or leave it gathering dust. Great work.

Straightforward, direct, simple, exact ... the best tutorial for board games on youtube by far. Excelente job Rodney

This game is basically any Brazilian going back home from the US and going through customs. "Do you have any ipads, iphones, videogames?" "NO"

Finally picking this up at the end of 2023, looks like it will be a fun time with the group. Thanks for these videos they really help with my teach of the games.

By far one of the most fun I've ever had with boardgames

[HarukoZ]

I placed an order for this because my friend's fiancé really loves bluffing games (I am terrible at them, however I enjoy them as well) and I wanted to have more in my collection that she enjoys. After watching this video, I think they are going to love it! Great video!

[danielangevine]

Thanks Rodney! much easier to pre-share these for games night :)
your explanations continue to be easy to understand and give a nice feel for the game.

Another awesome instructional vid. Thank you! Will be introducing this game at our New Year's Eve party tonight at our youth center. I work with inner city youth and we've been learning lots of new games together! They love Dominion...we'll see if they like this one tonight!

Great rules video. Loved the Board game replay, but still wish you were doing a play through. Would be cool to see you, Luke, and Pep play.

[TriforceOfCourage]

You're awesome Rodney! I bought it, needed some clarification on a couple rules, and you nailed both of them in the video, as usual. Much love, keep it up.

[HingleMcCringleberry-fd]

I would absolutely love to see you, Luke and Andrea do a playthrough of this game. It looks hilarious.

[andestung]

I got into the hobby of board gaming because of this video, and this game! Thanks Rodney for opening up my eyes to the world of modern board gaming!

[Zaloomination]

Thank you for answering my question at 3:45. I wasn't clear the max number of cards you could have in your hand at any time!

[OsamaBinLooney]

went ahead and bought this on Amazon a couple weeks ago
should be arriving today or tomorrow XD
i used to play it a lot with friends a few years ago but i didn't have my own copy, good to get a refresher on the rules

[danielengel]

So easy to follow, and a joy to watch you explain games.

[MikeJB]

The best tutorial for this game out there. Thank you! A couple of points of confusion (for me!). Let's say a player gets caught trying to get contraband through by the Sheriff, and of course they have to pay a fine equal to the amounts shown on the bottom-right of the contraband cards; who is the fine paid to? Is it added to the player's pot who is playing the Sheriff, or is it paid into the "bank". Likewise, if the Sheriff incorrectly accuses a player of trying to smuggle contraband, is the money paid out of the pot of the person who is playing the Sheriff, or is that also paid out by the bank?

[MrTravisChaos]

I loved your rules explanations. Thank you for posting! Loving your videos.

[TheBroz]

Thanks for another great video Rodney. I picked this up recently and am looking forward to my first play-through, particularly if there's a few drinks involved. I'll share this video with my friends ahead of time to get them up to speed with the rules. Extra fun because I live in Nottingham so that'll help the role play :)

[JosephLachh]

Thanks so much for the in video markers. This was very helpful.
