@@YuGiOhd52 AllPlay is selling it - it may just be available at GenCon this week. But I believe they’ll have it available to order on their website soon.

Correct. 5 Bs is a winning hand. 4 Cs is a winning hand. But 5 Cs is not and 4 As is not a winning hand.

@@morrigambist I’ve had similar thoughts with Qin. And I still love it, but if one person draws more doubles than another it can feel a bit lopsided.

Super kind of you to say! Glad it was helpful

Forbidden dice are always the black dice (and white on map 1). So after rolling the dice, set the black dice aside and draft from the remaining dice. It limits the dice pool and helps to randomize the number of dice available for each player throughout the game.

@@BitewingGames Thank you for answering. But I read the rule book, on the page 3, select a die, it said places the die at the top of their sheet, and then explained the area about which color dice are forbidden, so it doesn’t mean the die place on there would become forbidden color, right??

@@yantz116 Correct. The die color you take has nothing to do with what is forbidden. The top of your sheet has an icon showing which dice are forbidden (black and sometimes white). On your turn when you take a die you will place it in that area of your board (near the icon showing which dice are forbidden).

@@BitewingGames 😅ok, I think I finally know the point of that paragraph. Thank you for clarifying! Best wishes,

More will be coming 🎉 We have a few more 2 player games already lined up. We plan to continue working with Dr Knizia, but we also have plans to work with other great designers who excel at 2 player games.

@@BitewingGames wow this will be a series of 2 player games about this theme? amazing

Our 2 player games will be mythology themed (the mythos collection). Definitely not all greek mythology, but we are intending on sticking with 2 player mythology themed games.

@@BitewingGames that's amazing line.. hope you keep it going.. 2 player games are the best for me.. santorini and boooop are winners in our gaming group

Just you wait. More 2 player goodness is coming your way.

​@@BitewingGamesOhhh you sly dogs! Mythos Collection, take my money!

You did an amazing job! Excellent work!!!

Thanks for the support! We're thrilled with what the artists did - both unique and both stunning.

A bit different from connect 4 in that you can't place your tiles anywhere - you're limited to specific locations and will always end up with the same number of tiles in a row/column, but it's all about timing and using the tile abilities to move your own or opponents tiles to key locations at key moments. Similar is some ways to Kingdoms or Samurai if you've played those. I think the theme of an abstract tile layer (or any game for that matter) can't be taken too literally and won't hold up under scrutiny. That being said, this is a game about a war for points, but those points don't matter if you don't have the favor of the gods. Greeks and Trojans fight in Iliad, but at the end of the day they need to gain the favor of the gods to not be destroyed by plagues in the first place. So while it doesn't replicate the story of the Iliad the tension of winning points but only if you have all of the god tokens matched well with greek mythology and the fickle nature of the gods.

Welcome to Knizia games! Awesome, ingenious mechanics, little to no attention to theme.

Word games are tricky to grasp. Glad the video was helpful.

Begin the game by circling one castle at the top of tue tracks, any color of your choice. If you reach the top of that castle you score the higher amount for that castle. Is that what you’re asking about?

@@BitewingGames thanks. Yes. That’s what I was asking 👍😁 I was going to roll a dice 🎲 and select it randomly but not sure

This was from before the Kickstarter campaign. The designer made some changes and removed that expansion.

I love Greek mythology so I’m pretty excited. We’ve had pretty good turnaround for previous games, so if gods of manufacturing and shipping smile upon us we’ll have the games by early Spring 2025.

@@BitewingGames 😊👍🏻 I'll be praying to all the responsible gods and goddesses...and may all the Olympians be with you! 🙏🏻🙌🏼

This has some of the heavy interaction of moving your own and your opponents tiles where you can ALMOST strategize until they royally mess you up. Haha.

Well that’s a great compliment. Thanks! We agree that this is a pretty great time to be in the hobby.

@@BitewingGames we're exactly two things away from perfection: 1) you guys publishing a teeth-themed game by the good doctor 2) T&E being in print

The artist did a great job with the colors and overall art. It is a looker, and it's always nice when the mechanics are as good as the art!

Thanks for the enthusiam. We're pretty excited too!

I am all for epic games, but these 30-60 minute games with simple turn structures and meaningful decisions pack such a punch in such a short time, I agree that they’ll gather much less dust.

Thanks, we’re happy with how it turned out! We’ve looked at a few different colors for the maps. Especially with the clear figures, finding a color scheme where the gods and monsters both stand out has been a challenge but we’re pretty happy with where things have landed. That being said, now that we have some physical prototypes and a few other people reviewing them we will try to fine tune any colors. We want it to look pretty, but we also want it to be functional and not make gameplay difficult.

@BitewingGames sure got your point but i guess a little bit difference between top and bottom of map (in colour) would feel great! Gonna back it anyway but just sharing my feelings guys! GL!

@@Kleoder definitely appreciate the support and the feedback. We do like hearing peoples thoughts and getting different perspectives. 😊

Thanks for the feedback! We use feedback like this and from Kickstarter and especially from people who handle the physical copies to make small refinements. Colors are always tricky to keep the game looking cohesive (we don’t want every game to have the full rainbow of colors), but also functional. I haven’t had any issues with the colors being too close in person. We do have a few copies we’ve sent out to reviewers and we’ll definitely poll them for any issues like this.

A little deja vu huh?!? There was a minor rules mistake and I figured I'd fix it now. So yes I had to reupload, which is always such a nuisance. I wish CZcams let me update the video so we could keep previuos comments and such.

Thanks! We're really happy with how everything turned out. The artist knocked it out of the park!

I think the colors should be a little more vibrant

Hey Martin, 1 - That is not a closed loop. A closed loop is a continuous path of the same color that starts and stops at a matching campsite (with the unique campsites in the Sasquatch expansion it does have to start and stop at the same card). I believe the base game trailblazers how to play video gives some examples. 2 - if he’s on a mixed terrain loop (which isn’t technically a loop) then he would not be trapped. 3 - you can close any loop that goes through that card. So yes, if one corner of the card is biking, you can create a loop that includes that biking corner. Happy Squatching! -Kyle

@@BitewingGames thanks!

We’ve been testing the cloth board and it has been working perfectly :)

@@nickmurray5169 Well, it's also the looks and not only the functionality. The cloth will not LOOK flat. I believe the game should be sold with a board or neoprene mat also. At least as a KS extra.

A board or neoprene mat won’t fit in the box. The cloth board we’ve been testing looks great. I’ve seen no issues with folds - it is not a rigid fabric

Nothing wrong with mixing the farmer board with the advanced variant!

Thanks Tyler, glad it was helpful!

A true connoisseur of gaming 🧠

Haha. Yeah you better look elsewhere then, cause this will definitely disappoint.

Yes, good games which rewards skill are bad huh?

My wife doesn’t think I should ever back deluxe Kickstarter things. As soon as she saw the glass standees she said she’d buy them. That’s when I knew we’d done something right. Haha.

I seriously love the artwork and overall look/feel of this game. I’ve played it twice with my wife since getting it (2 times too many for her tastes haha) but we couldn’t be happier with how it turned out.

We’re super excited for it. Don’t forgot to follow along on Kickstarter - lots of free and discounted goodies there.
