Loved this overview! Saw this in my local store and thought I'd check it out. I'm totally going to try this expansion out!
Well done! This was super helpful! I can't wait to play! 😍
Nice review. I have been looking at this expansion and it looks like it adds a lot of gameplay.
Thanks Sue, yes it definitely shakes things up and adds a ton of new gameplay and elements for fans of the original. There's also a lot more to consider each turn with another potential victory path, so it feels more tense with Agora!
Whoa! So many new additions to the base game! Thanks for the explanation :D.
Thanks Braiden, Agora definitely adds a ton of stuff. There's way more to consider each turn too!
Nice, video!! Very helpful and explanatory. As a brazilian I should correct you, “Agora” in portuguese is wrinten with an accent “Ágora” wich means the exact same thing as in english, but “Agora”, without the accent, means “now”, they are two different words.
Thanks bud showing the love gonna pick this up soon
Hey Man! Very Nice vídeo! Keep going this way :)
Thanks a lot! Glad you enjoyed it and we'll definitely have more like it!
Great video and energy. Have you created a video that shows the setup and play for BOTH expansions?
Thank you! I do not own it physically but someone ask me to play it at board game arena and this was a quick way to get an overview of the new things!
So glad it was able to help you out!
Great video and explanation. Kudos.
Thanks for this! Very detailed, clear and a lot of great examples shown with your video. I did feel the overview portion was a smidge long and could be consolidated a bit into the actual rules breakdown but I imagine this was partly because the expansion has so much packed into it. Keep up the great work,
Thanks so much for the feedback, Aaron! And glad you enjoyed it. Really appreciate the support! :)
Useful overview, thanks. I'd come to get an idea of new things before playing this expansion online
Glad to hear this helped you out, thanks for watching!
Great help with the rules! Thanks!
Thank you- great explanation!
You're very welcome, thanks for watching!
Great stuff, very helpful. Would have loved to see all the new stuff with your explanations but then I'm a total geek and enjoy that sort of stuff 😅
Great explanation, thanks
Thanks, this expansion is on Board Game Arena now!
Yes, I've played a few rounds of it there! It's a good implementation from my experiences so far. And a great way to introduce more people to the expansion.
Well done
Great explanation. Do you have a video for Pantheon?
Unfortunately not, and no plans to do one as of now. Thanks for watching though, and I hope you find/found what you're looking for re: Pantheon!
Thank you.
Thank you! I'm sorry if I missed this but can this be played with the Pantheon expansion?
Yes it can! You can combine both expansions for a big experience. There's a lot going on with both and it's more overwhelming, but definitely possible and there is a section in the Agora rulebook about combining both. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
May I please ask a question:
If you have control of the Decree token chamber which is a "Blue card +2".
You have just acquired a Senate card.
Which is correct?
If you have No Blue cards, do you have
2 Senate actions 0+2=2
OR
If you have No Blue cards, do you have
1 Senate actions 0+1=1
Thanking you in advance to settle this.
Good lord this expansion adds a lot and not simply. For example, the gain Senate actions based on blue cards has a multiply simple on the board and not in the rule book for reasons unknown so you will make mistakes but as long as you like the base game you'll play it enough times to learn it, it will start to make sense. I do not suggest for those new to the game or those who aren't willing to play a half dozen times to learn the complexities of this expansion. Overall leading me to not suggest getting this expansion especially if you already got the first expansion even though I find it personally fun.
In greek is Ah -go -rah , in portuguese a -gOh -ra, but very similar indeed.
Do you play Guild cards in agora expansion?
The expansion is great. There is only one decree tocken I don't understand - chain reaction from cards. Can you please explain how (what) you apply when you control this decree? The rules book is not very clear. Thank you in advance.
Hi Lozko! So that decree token is basically stating that if your opponent owns any buildings with the white chain symbols on them, you can benefit from them as if they were in your control as well. These are those little white symbols that allow you to buy certain OTHER buildings for free for having them. It's a powerful decree token and allows you to scoop up many future cards for free. Hope that helps and thanks for watching!
@@AllYouCanBoard perfect. Thank you so much for the clarification.
No problem, happy to help!
Thanks for the info. That box says 30', right? I don't believe that. We love Pantheon, the 1-2 things it added seem to fit in smoothly. This seems like 3-4 "other" things to do. Our avg times are 25-30' base & 35-40' Pantheon. I don't think your explanation was choppy, it was good. I'm concerned playing it is choppy.
Yeah I would agree actually. 30 mins doesn't seem accurate in the games I've played. I would wager 40-45 is more accurate. It does add a lot, but the things it adds are kind of extensions of existing mechanics. So recruiting the new senators plays out very similar to building a building in the base game, with some minor twists that don't add a TON of time, but definitely do add time. I think maybe once you've played 10-20 games of Agora, you could have sessions where it ends in 30 mins if you achieve political, scientific or militaristic victory. Or are just getting through things at a quicker pace. But on average, I'd say 40-45 is a better estimate.
Thanks for watching!
@@AllYouCanBoard Thanks for your reply!
Does anybody know what are the white fields on the scoring card? 5th roe, one above the winning points of wonders?
They are from pantheon
What are the face down decrees?
When you are counting points at the end. What are the fourth (blue card with white dot) and fifth (white card with white dot) symbols on the list for counting?
They are from pantheon
@@dodoone5362 thank you 👍
May I know for the conspiracy card: stealing an unbuilt wonders from the other side, shall I directly build it or I need to pay for the resources?
It is unbuilt, you will have to build it
if i buy a conspirator and i choose to put an influence cube in a senate section with the play again decree (when you play a conspirator) do i play again or not?
I would think yes if you have control of that chamber.
Is there a place I can just buy the coins for the game?
Rules say adjacent "chamber" not section. If you could place one on the respective section THEN move out of that section...whats the point of a senators restrictive section?
Yes, you move cubes to adjacent chambers not to adjacent sections, if I ever mixed up those terms that was an error! Each section has 2 chambers in it for 6 total and when cubes are moving, they are moving between chambers, not sections. - Dylann
That's a question I'm looking answer for, so when you have a politician in left area/section and choose to move it, you can move it only to another chamber in left section? You can't move it to middle section?
I think the author meant to move influences even to chambers across sections. There is a clarification in the rule book saying that you may move a just placed influence multiple times, depending on the number of actions your have. In this clarification it does not make sense to move it in the same section back and forth. However, it makes sense that multiple moves will be definitely into other chambers outside the section. Similarly, the other clarification says that you can move a just placed influence. So why the hassle to place it in a chamber and then spent another action to move it just to the other chamber in the same section, where you could have placed it from the beginning in the ultimate chamber.
@@cezarykozminski I understand it that the sections are only for placement. Once you have the action to move you can move to any adjacent chamber, even if that is in a different section.
Senators have influence over a specific section, but you can move your influence around regardless of the original senator that recruited you.
There seems to be an issue in the manual where it says how to set up the cards in the beginning. You take out 3 cards from each age, while then adding 5 senators to the 1st age, 5 to the 2nd, and 3 senators to the 3rd. The problem is: you need 23 total cards to make the 3rd age formation, but if you take out 3 3rd-age cards in the beginning and add 3 senators, that only gives you 20 cards to build the required formation when you need 23? In other words, don’t take out three cards from the 3rd age in the set up at beginning, and just add the 3 senators. Even though the instructions say otherwise. Did anybody else notice this or am I missing something with the Agora instructions?
I'm sure you've already found the answer to this, but in case you haven't (or for further enquiries) -- don't forget to add the 3 guild cards when playing only with the base game or the 3 grand temple cards if using the Pantheon expansion.
How does it play with Pantheon
It's works fine and there's a section in the rulebook that goes over how to implement both expansions together. Definitely makes the game more complex and there's more to keep track of, but if you're looking for a new challenge after playing lots of Duel or just enjoy more options and paths to victory, it's a great option.
Some people put decree point in slot and some have them flipped for a cube spot?
Yeah, the correct way is to have them placed with a little diamond spot open for the cube to be put in. I didn't realize this until I was already deep into making the video. Although it's not something that affects gameplay, if you prefer to put it into the slot the other way, you can simply place the cube on top of the decree token to indicate who has control of that chamber.
Thanks for watching! :)
@@AllYouCanBoard what is the difference between face up and down decrees
But what if I’m agoraphobic?
Then stay away! Hopefully you're not 7-Wonders-Duel-base-game-aphobic too.
