Are there going to be any multiplayer play through videos ?
At the moment there only seem to be reviews or solo play throughs.
Multiplayer playthrough videos are rarer, as they take quite a bit more coordination for content creators. I think there will likely be some eventually, but not in this initial batch of advance copy reviewers.
BoardGameCo uploaded a 2-player playthrough yesterday (04Oct’23) here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUwBe-m6Hhg
Although Alex didn’t quite use the correct names for resources, I felt the playthrough shows how nice 2-player interaction is (and how important timing/utilization of 4-strength workers are). Alex stated he played several games, took a different approach/focus each game, and the different focus’ all seemed viable and fun.
Just noticed that the BoardGameCo 2-player gameplay video link is included at the top of this page in the Video Reviews section for BGC.
The watch it played video is private?
It was public, but Rodney realized he didn’t mention one element of scoring, so he added a quick scene and is reuploading it.
The updated link to Watch it Played is https://youtu.be/KdzNSPQlML0
Thanks! I updated it.
Thank you :)
