"there's fourteen"
Fourteen and a half, if you count Bob. Worm accident, don't ask.

@@monsieurouxx We don't? Whoops.
Let's give props again to Jerry for the fantastic live UI work!!
Nearly a half million people have watched a four-hour stream of you guys playing a complex board game. I salute you.
I've watched this a few times and keep coming back to it.
I imagine lots of views are similar to me, I was expecting dune d&d and will promptly look for what I wanted somewhere else
@@jaquandrejones Thanks for that Uncle Remus.
I gotta learn somehow
Jerry is amazing. His effects make it easier to follow things. :)
who is jerry?
Yea that was incredible.
Yeeeessssss! Loved the stream and am so excited to see more content like this. Would definitely second you all playing Scythe. Also thanks so much for fixing the intro trailer that got glitched in the stream. This attention to detail and respect for your products speaks volumes of MCDM's quality!
Never though I'd see this crossover.
@@davidvilshansky2285 right??
@@davidvilshansky2285 Matt got me to finally take the plunge into DMing and I owe him my enternal gratitude. I know I cover history on the channel but will be looking to cover D&D in the future which includes my own homebrew campaign.
@@InvictaHistory For real. I never would have guessed.
Can we get Officially Devin to narrate and/or play as Atredies or the Emperor?
Looks at timer â4 hours? A bit short for a rules introduction, but ok. I wonder when will the actual gameplay be released?â
squattingheads i looked for it on amazon. Itâs up tmrw the 23rd for pre order I think.
i unplug my mouse in these situations. way too risky
â@@davidring681they were joking that this 4 hour video would just be explaining the rules
"Od could win this turn!!!" *looks at an hour left in video* i doubt that
Topher Robeson Meta!
Well, I mean honestly hindsight is always 20/20... đ
At the time it seemed so very obvious to me he couldn't win that turn. Winning three battles in a turn where EVERYONE would obviously try and stop it? Not a chance.
Don't burn your bridges unless you're guaranteed to win, and even then it might not be worth it in the long run. :p
Hey Matt, I'd like to see you all play this again.
They're playing on Twitch this Wednesday night! đ
@@seanvalentinus nice
Fuck yessssss!
Was it uploaded?
Bubble Laboratory. Yeah, episode 2-4 are on Mcdm already
Lars being Harkonen seems fitting.
"I never get burned out with this game, the more I play it the better it gets. After a while the rules start to disappear, and it's all about the powers and the decisions and the intrigue and everything." - Matt
I think he mastered Prana Bindu.
Matthew Colville has called a big one. It is. The Legend.
1:35:50 Was a hilarious exchange. I was Lars throughout.
Matt: Tom gets to keep his chrysknife because he won the battle.
Lars: *looking at phone* Chrysknife is poison or projectile?
Matt: It's a projectile. It's a knife.
Lars: *double-take, looking up from phone* *confused look at Matt*
Matt: *stabbing motion* Slow blade penetrates the shield.
Lars: Its a projectile weapon...
Matt: *happily* Yeah!
Lars: *rolls eyes, returns to phone still looking confused*
Counterpoint
Throwing knife
I mean it says it on the card, if he wasn't on his phone he would have seen that.
@@TechnicolorMammoth they probably have the rules on there
i can understand the confusion, since in Dune you'd use knifes to circumvent a projectile shield.
I love how Matt is still being the DM in a board gameđ
Once a GM, always a GM.
âDuncan Idaho is my traitor.â
âThatâs weird, I have Duncan Idaho right here!â
I hate it when that happens...
during the bid phase Tom Atraidies is just loving this game. Sitting there with a big ass smile.
Most people:
Dune is really fun but I almost never have 5 other people to play with.
Matt:
Most of the time we have 7 people who want to play and only 6 factions so I made my own.
đ Exactly!
There's an old expansion that adds a faction
the official game (reprint) by GailforceOne has an expansion that adds two more Ix and Tleilaxu raising the player count to 8. I know the older versions had a few magazines with a few other factions, The Lansraad was one if I recall correctly.
@@AloisWeimar On the dune discord server, there's a bunch of homebrew factions as well as some rewrites for bt. Most people on the server don't like the way they play and while I enjoy them I do agree there is room for improvement.
I hope there is some Ordos in there.
LOL --- The Harkonnen are INDEED the Masters of Treachery!!! Great play Lars! You are a Master of Villainy and Deception!!!
I'm commenting 3 years later just to say that I probably wouldn't have discovered the board game without this video and I almost certainly wouldn't have developed such a strong love for it. Dune quickly became my favorite board game of all time and I'm continuing to play it constantly. Thanks, y'all!
1:22:00 according to the rulebook faq section, Annas move of 2 spaces was legit.
Acording to galeforce 9 rulebook:
âWe (the designers) have always allowed a player to ship forces into Arrakeen or Carthag and then use ornithopters. Our logic is that with the various military cultures in the Dune universe, raids prescribed by Kanly (or by opportunity for the Fremen) were common. An invasion is a similar case in the book. A fighting force can be shipped into Carthag or Arrakeen, steal ornithopters and use them to move other forces through three territories anywhere on the board.â
So yes, Anna could have done that.
@@sarreira
never played the game, but i think there is some logic theme/plot wise that a new force shouldn't have the same ability of using ornithopters as the already controlling force in the region. i get the idea of raids and stealing them, but this potentially implies a battle. or maybe that if a new force arrives at a controlled city by another, then they could steal some ornithopters which is implemented by a rule that a force of up to X strength can use them? i do agree it makes sense that if one arrives at an uncotrolled city then they can use the ornithopters immediately in the next movement phase.
I want more dune videos, like so Matt knows itâs ok to play more
This looked like a great game for me to pick up until 2:23:23, when I realized it was a friendship ending game.
Lol he was so obviously gonna fuck her over.
They're not exactly friends, they're more like siblings.
Yeah, do they actually dislike each other? I got a real bad vibe between them lol
BTW, it was a boss ass move
From THAT?
You must have really flimsy friendships. They weren't even mad. They were laughing.
âThe Harkonnen excel at Treachery.â - Everyone
âLetâs give them my spice!â - Anna
In all fairness the information he gave was still pretty useful I reckon. Knowing that she'll never have a traitor when fighting harkonnen is nice.
Man, this looks so fun! They kept saying that it wouldn't be good to watch but I was at the edge of my seat the entire time
Matt did a great job explaining the rules of the game so much so that me, as someone who's never heard of this game (or series) before this, pretty much understood everything that was happening. I'd love to see more of these!!
I would love to see a "Campaign Diary" style video regarding this game of Dune or the one scheduled for this Wednesday, to hear Matt's insights into how everything played out.
The Atreides player played very well. Looking back on all of his decisions showed some brilliant strategizing. Excellent game to watch!
He also just seems like a fun player to hang around, with his upbeat enthusiasm.
He's also incredibly attractive.
@Cole Some says that he can't be trolled, yet he's the only one Atreides who allied with Harkonen and won. All we know is his name is Tom.
@Cole but there's 2 Toms so it's more specific to say the role they played
Drinking game:
Take a shot each time Matt exclaims how much he loves this game.
Easiest way to get drunk.
But the game IS great =)
Or every time that chick picks up her phone.
@@davidgill3356 Woa, Woa there, Satan. We don't wanna die watching this!
Edit: Having watched more of this. Anna really does not pick her phone up much once the explanations are done and the game is going.
@@davidgill3356 She mentions having the rules digitally, and its safe to assume that she is referring to them to learn the game, since they are new to the game.
@@ReubenHung I missed that part. Still fun to pretend shes being rude for the purposes of a drinking game.
Lars is so good at roleplaying Harkonnen. Ohh, wait. They don't roleplay :o
Yes, Matt. Yes, we do want to see more Dune gameplay; this is fucking epic.
Fourth time I rewatch this match, I love how excited Matt gets for every reference to the book. I can totally understand him, Dune is everything for me!
"Spice? ... Do you? ... Do you Spice?"
AaaaaHahahahahaaaa! Yes this YES! HDYWTDT?
The Meat Man Cometh
In preparation to play this game (and teach it to my table), I watched the entire video as a supplement to reading the rules. This was very informative, and I feel like your group rarely messed up any rules. Very fun and informative. Thank you.
That was a great game!
Really like how the gameplay ties in with the story and world building: the trading of information between the players, the alliances, which people have which advantages, just everything is cool about it!
Lasgun explosion of awesome!
Best alliance with plot twist: Atreides and Harkonnen
Felt bad for Anna in turn 2 because that move was allowed: "A player who starts a force move with one or more
forces in either Arrakeen, Carthag, or both has access to
ornithopters" As long as you start your move there you get the ornithopters, you don't need to start the turn there
Yeah I just got to that point and was thinking to myself "wait. she can easily move there with the tech from the ornithopters".. she could have had a chance to win the game there! (still unlikely with Harkonnen early game though)
just saying, when the wurm showed up, if OD had gone to karthag with his guys and teleported his guys with anna's ally power also and then anna interceded and moved into reinforce they probably would have gotten the W, or at least forced the rest of the field to spend most or all of their resources to block the win. poor OD got trolled by lars and matt into doing it. harkonen and bene gesserit lies. to great effect. very on brand.
"Matt over there, with his Benny-whatsits"
Matt reminds me so much of a friend from my youth in Gillette, Wyoming. He was our DM on Saturday morning D&D sessions at the Campbell County public library and a couple of years later, after I had moved to Laramie, the chief rival my high school debate team. He was the only one of us who knew how to really play D&D, and like Matt he was patient, a good teacher, and dedicated to his craft. I played this very game, from Avalon Hill, with a great bunch of guys from that same group, but I don't remember ever actually completing a game as we would end up goofing off more than anything else at 2 in the morning at someone's house. Great times, great memories...
Holy shit. This was amazing!!
I would absolutely watch this as many times as you all want to play it. I know exactly what I want for Christmas now.
Also a Campaign Diary style recap of this game would be FUCKING AMAZING!
Did you end up getting it for Christmas?
I've watched this twice now, all the way through. Thank you for uploading this. It's not often we get to watch a negotiation game of this caliber. I know there was some doubt as to the reception you'd receive but I, for one, found it thoroughly enjoyable. Keep up the good work. You folks have a great dynamic. Thanks again.
Great job Jerry, with both the overlay and editing this thing down to a slightly less silly length.
This game seems amazing, I love how tightly it intersects with the Dune lore, and all the ways everyone can break the various rules. Fantastic.
It took me a whole day to watch it on twitch. Bouncing between my laptop and cellphone. I so want to play some board games now. Thank you everyone at MCDM for suffering and shareing.
"OMG, YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!", "Matt said I could..." lol
The curse of the eternal DM it spreads even to other games.
This validates all the time and patience of getting the stream setup working! A lovely thing to multi-task watching and working with.
Amazing Job Everyone!!!! So damn'd much fun watching you guys play --- Thank You!!!
First time watching anything from MCDM. Matt seems hyped as heck on this game, and it only makes the gameplay more fun to watch! Great video, well done added graphics, and I would love to see more of Dune in the future!
I would LOVE to see more board games being played. For example they could actually show us exactly how Diplomacy can ruin friendships.
I watched the entire thing. I've never played, heard so much about it, and you guys were entertaining enough to watch the whole 4 hours. You did good.
The continuation of the MCDM Dune series is one of the things that I'm looking forward to most after the world returns to normal.
I have to say that the production of your stream/video is astonishing. IÂŽve checked recently that the new version of Dune (boardgame) is being available, and because I used to play Dune on PC back in the days, I wanted to check it out - your playthrough here with all the rules and explanations is just lovely. Even though I have yet to read the rules, I can get the main idea of the game and what it is about - and only thank to You!
Anyways - are you planning to do another playthrough of this game? And perhaps with the official copy of the game with the official rules? I also wonder how much the official rules are different to the (house) rules you are using here..?
A looong Dune themed live boardgame video? #SUB
This is hands down the best live play of any game I've ever seen. Great game, great camera and audio setup, and great table banter.
A board game based on my favorite book being played by my favorite people. This lived up to all my hopes and more. I even had my wife watching it with me and it became dinner table conversation with our family. We're planning to buy a copy when it's re-released. Congrats to the winner(s)! Well played (no spoilers)
Is anyone else reading the name/faction as just a name? Eg: Lars Harkonnen
Mike Gould Tom Atreides is a good one :)
Harkonnen is a scandanavian name too
yes.
Anna Guild
Albert Gore Tom Emperor
I wish I had a board game group like this, you are all amazing! Great job, as usual
That was amazing to watch, i really hope your group plays this epic game again and put the video on CZcams to watch. Keep up the great viewing.
I like watching this back sometimes and Matt's dramatic rules explaining at 20:44 cracks me up every single time. Very fun!
They edited a 6 hour video down to 4. Color me impressed.
How, I have no idea.
I would definitely watch more of this.
My game group bought the Dune reprint for one of us as a birthday gift and I started watching this video to get a feel for the game play. Iâm only about 45 minutes in and probably wonât go the distance, but just wanted to let you know how much Iâm enjoying it. Great quality and your group is really fun to watch. Kudos on an excellent production!
That was amazing!
I've been hearing good things about this game for years, but have never even seen a copy anywhere. Thank you so much for posting that game, I loved watching it.
That was fucking sweet Matt. I now feel the need to read the book, watch the film and play for myself. Good stuff as always
Wow, that was fun! Definitely some classic Dune moments.
Thanks for the rules refresh - time to go crack my GF9 copy. :)
Also - great job, Jerry! Everything looked amazing.
Absolutely brilliant stream and setup. I also love how accessible and inviting you and your group is, but also how you all drop f-bombs like they're going out of style.
This. Was. Amazing!
I don't think I've ever had this much fun watching a board game live stream!
Please do more live streams like this! Your group's chemistry is amazing.
Yay more matt! Been missing yall
I would love to see you play the Gale Force 9 version as well. And Scythe, Twilight Imperium 4, etc.
This is absolutely wonderful. thanks for showing us how to play and being so entertaining at the same time! Matt, you're delightful.
I've watched this all the way through several times now. It never gets old. Keep playing DUNE!
Played it once, as Atreides. Got to a final decisive battle that my opponent would have won EXCEPT I had his leader as my traitor! I'd watch this game again, yes!
Wow this is the best setup for displaying board and players I've seen on any boardgame video so far, very well done!
I've finally played tonight my first game, it was just the blast that I was expected. I was playing the Harkonnen faction, we where 3 players, and even if i've loose (a hard mix with a traitor card and a bold moove that didn't payed off), I was really excited. Can't wait to set up another game. Huge Thanks to Matt and the gang, because watching helped me a lot. Yes, it's demanding, but the reward worth the investment.
That was really awesome, just finished the video. Great battles, especially at the end! Seriously came down to the wire.
Loving it
So like, IÂŽm here because of AnnaÂŽs twitter reaction, this are gonna be some fun 4 hours
+
Yeah, I'd definitely watch more of this! I've been wondering whether or not to get the game and ye folks have 100% persuaded me...
Hi Matt, I just wanted to say a heartfelt thank you for playing and making the Dune board game series. My Wife bought it for me Christmas and using your videos, I was able to play and teach my friends with some degree of authority because I watched 10 hours of Dune gameplay xD you made it super fun and interesting. Thanks Matt!
That was amazing and not as hard to follow as i thought it would be. Huge props to Jerry for the awesome UI and the editing. Matt give us more!
I want to see more of this. Also Jerry is OP.
Three hours in.
This is insanely entertaining xD
This is the first gameplay of a board game that I enjoy watching - great quality, zoom-ins & UI by Jerry. Also, great narration by Matt. Thanks. Can't wait to play my first game today for 6 players!
I got this game for Christmas. Your presentation is just terrific and sells the game beautifully. It doesn't just clarfy how play works but demonstrates how much fun it is. I love the Brady Bunch camera and the storm animation. Great job.
0:37: My favorite ever board game
11:09: The reason this is my favorite game
55:22: Fucking love this game - MIracle
1:09:54: How good is this game urgh! love dune, my all time favorite board game
1:33:23: God it's such a good game
2:39:50: Uh, so good! It's the best game ever
3:24:52: No game like Dune, no game like it
This looks like a masterpiece of a game. Definitely getting this.
Such a brilliant video, the whole aesthetic is such a vibe a visual masterpiece
The fact that this video alone is 4+ hours long and that there are more of them is just the icing on the cake đ
I've seen a lot of attempts of people to make watching board games interesting and this is by far THE BEST execution I've seen. Great work everyone involved in front and behind the camera.
you totally need a batman-like tune for the transitions
I was a fan of the original. To see a new version is a fan moment! I'd love to see more gaming on DUNE.
This video was way better and more enjoyable than I ever dared to hope when I searched for anyone playing this game. Thank you.
That was really, really fun to watch imo. I would happily watch more games. Thanks guys!
12:30 "Im not sure how fun it would be to watch" Matt, How much fun was Dune? Because were watching DUNE happen.
Only halfway through and would love to see you guys play again.
Watched all 4 of your sessions on this game and promptly bought it. I haven't seen a better party game in my life. I am so excited, thank you so much
Very well done, enjoyed every second. Every time I see this game I want it more and more!
You somehow made this game watchable, good stuff.
For 7 minutes, I'm going "Why aren't there any sea tiles?"
And just now, it hits me... "Oh, right.... Dune. They drink their own sweat."
Love this game and so glad you all are playing it! I'm a Dune fan all the way and I got this for Father's Day. Now to find 5 likeminded folks to play it with! It's a challenge that I'll probly only accomplish 3-5 times in my life, I guess, if that. But I am glad I have it
New to the Channel. Dune is by far the greatest series ever and this board game is absolutely amazing. Your group is great and kept a smile on my face for 4 hours. Keep up the great work, I'm definitely going to keep tuning in.
Would love to see more Dune streams!!
So this is what it looks like to have friends
Love watching you guys play. I can't wait to try the game out. This makes me even more excited to play it.
Outstanding video. It's reassuring to know it's not just my group that talk over each other when someone is trying to explain something.
