Thankyou so much for this. I find so many how to plays just go so fast and assume we instantly understand what they’re saying. I have adhd and they often lose me! You speak slowly and explain each piece thoroughly, with examples too. Has made a huge difference for me. THANKYOU!
Yeah I also have a friend with ADHD, and I personally have asbergers syndrome which means I usually take more time to explain stuff and why I’m usually through. However they have been some who don’t like it, because they consider it rambling on. I can’t make everyone happy, but I’m glad I was able to help a fellow mentally disabled individual like yourself.
This is a great effort and eventually gets the job done. I hope this feedback will help in the future!: Give fewer examples of each concept. You have a great understanding of each new concept, but each time you tend to continue explaining by using repetitive examples when you can usually move on to the next concept. It's a hard thing to balance, but I hope hearing it described this way helps you improve in the future. Don't be discouraged, this is still super helpful! Hopefully next time you will adapt and improve. Thanks for all the hard work.
@@Animal_board_gamer I'm really glad you're having fun with it. I used your video today to refresh myself on the rules before I played, so you're even helping me and I really appreciate your effort. Thanks for reading my feedback, and I'll be on the lookout for more videos from you in the future. I just subscribed :)
@@trec4me thanks for subscribing. I rarely show my face, but a couple months ago I shared my top 10 favorite games. I usually show my face in my top 10s Also if you’re interested in dominion, I made two really fun videos. Dominion dark ages is it the best expansion ever? And dominion hinterlands is it the best expansion ever? And if you like Ark Nova and also like going to the zoo. A few months ago I made a video, called a visit to the Bronx zoo.
I believe Mathias Wigge put it this way: The second build aquarium should be concidered an expansion to the first build aquarium, when you build the aquariums next to eachother, thus creating one big aquarium. That should solve thematic issues ☺️
Thematically, the zoo employees could have moved smaller sea creatures to the new smaller facility and openeed up space for the bigger one. Once you place the cubes, you have no way or remembering which creature is where, so it doesn't matter.
Thank you for putting out this video and showing us the new stuff. For me the presentation was a bit messy and inefficient, so I rather watch these kind of videos from other creators. Just my 2 cents if you want feedback, but maybe that's your style.
Yeah well I don’t have the luxury of people helping out. Nor do I have a script to keep my on subject. Nor do I have fancy equipment that many others do like dice tower. It doesn’t bother me if you prefer those who are professional. I also watch several others explain things and review things too. My videos are simply for fun. It gives me something to do, because of my mental disability I’m stuck at home all day, I don’t live an average human life. So if my videos help, thats great, if they don’t, then at least they can help me remember things. Since there’s no way my devices can handle the memory of all the videos I’ve made. CZcams is just the best place to put my videos so I can watch them years later.
21:00 You can draft the same card type that you had drafted previously, even up to all 3 cards are the same type. There is no need to redraw from the new action pile. Just that at the end of draft, you will have less choice to replace. Let's say you drafted all 3 cards of the same type. You may only replace that type using 1 of the 3 cards you drafted.
I thought 3 wave icons would be enough to show you an example of possibilities. I didn’t accidentally stack the deck for 3 wave icons, yeah that’s it, it wasn’t an accident.
The animals aren't one animal, so having some rays in one Aquarium and some in another. It's not splitting one animal it's splitting a group of animals. You also missed that you add a bonus tile to the end of the reputation track now, so the first player to hit 16 reputation can either have the bonus or gain 1 ticket.
Not necessarily let’s say the first animal you play in your aquarium takes up 3 spaces inside the 5 size aquarium then let’s say you want to play another 3 size animal in your aquarium well one fits in the 5 size and the other 2 could go into the 2 size enclosure, it’s perfectly legal to do that, but from a thematic standpoint your cutting your in half physically to make it fit. Yeah I suppose you can look at like your getting more animals as in a group, but the picture only shows one, and it doesn’t say manta rays, it says manta Ray as in singular
@@Animal_board_gamer None of the animal cards in the game are plural. So if every card represents a single creature you're not going to have a successful breeding program.
To put it more constructively, I would have enjoyed this video better if you moved through the explanation faster. For example at the beginning you show what cards are in the display when it doesn't really matter yet, or when you talk about the new university you showed the options and go through almost every one as an example. Just one example is sufficient. Thanks for this though!
The wave icon might be a simple thing to explain to most people, but what about those new to board games? What if someone chooses ark nova as one of their first? In fact I have friend who has to rewind the quick and precise explanations 3 times. And so I’m sure there are many others out there who need a more detailed explanation of even simple things. If you think you would prefer quicker explanations there are other people out there, it doesn’t hurt my feelings if you watch someone else instead. And please mind your language on my channel. The only time you should say Jesus is when you’re referring to someone who is named that or to Jesus Christ.
23 minutes and not covering the new cards is kind of a waste of my time.....thank you for putting out content, but if you cant make this exact video less tha2 10 minutes long and cover cards then I dont think im going to watch your content again.
I did make separate videos explaining the cards. But I’m mentally disabled, so Im doing the best I can explaining. I also don’t have a team of staff helping like others do. So if that’s not good enough for you, then it doesn’t hurt my feelings if you don’t want to watch my content anymore.
Besides I don’t think anyone on this planet could explain all the cards in the marine worlds expansion 20 minutes let alone 40 minutes. If you still want to watch my content. I have video explaining the action cards, one on reef dwellers, and one on the remaining animals plus all the sponsor cards. Yes they are all long, but good luck finding somebody else who also explains all the cards.
So did you find someone else who covers all the cards in under 10 minutes yet? Because after going through hundreds of videos I only found one other guy explaining how all the cards work and how to play, and guess what his video is an hour and 8 minutes long! Like I said what you ask for is impossible! If you really don’t have time for an hour of videos explaining how all the cards work, then look at the rulebook and figure it out yourself, I’m sure it will take at least an hour though. I suppose you could ask on Facebook or something how all the cards work too, but that would probably take days. Looks like those are your only options. Tom vasel takes about 10 minutes explaining the action cards, but he only briefly explains some of the animals and sponsor cards, he doesn’t explain everything. But perhaps he’s your best option, and everything else you’ll have to figure out on your own, since your time is precious.
@@Animal_board_gamer You took that worse than I said or meant it. I was giving feedback as to why I wouldnt come back to watch rather than just downvoting and passing. If you dont like that, then sorry
@@bunchycarter8024 one of the things about my mental disability is how things affect me. The way I view things is either black or white. No grey areas. I always always forget that the rest of the world’s viewpoint is grey. So your response to me, might of seemed grey to you, but to me I instantly thought it had to be black. It takes a lot of effort to remember that grey areas do exist.

Agree here, the whole video could have been a crisp 5 mins.

Thanks for the video mate
Where did you get the ark nova token/card boxes that it appears you have somewhat off screen? Thanks!
E-raptor and Etsy, you can get a better look at them in my fixing up ark nova animal icon video and my ark nova my new insert video.
you couldn't of made this video more long winded if you tried.
If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all.
To put it more constructively, I would have enjoyed this video better if you moved through the explanation faster. For example at the beginning you show what cards are in the display when it doesn't really matter yet, or when you talk about the new university you showed the options and go through almost every one as an example. Just one example is sufficient. Thanks for this though!
I was wondering too how come this how to play is twice as long as base game. Started listening and then... Nvm.
Thanks
