My wife was having a lot of trouble with brain fog (fibromyalgia), and got into gaming to improve and sharpen her skills and also because it is something we can do from our bed, with a board. Because of your channel, she has learned so many games and taught them to me. But my biggest thanks is how you actually care about your fans and always have a kind word. You've helped her so much with her daily struggle with fibro without even knowing it. Thanks for being a nice guy in a world where that isn't often rewarded. And thanks for great gaming videos, too. We are going to try this one today.
I hope you both have a good time with this one - it can take a few rounds to get the rhythm of everything, so I hope it goes well. And thank you so much for the generous support, any kindness you may feel I have shared, has certainly been returned in all of your kind comments and your enthusiasm for the hobby!
@@WatchItPlayed We had a great time! My brain today is molasses slow, and I kept making rules goofs, but that's a lot of times how I best learn. I remember what you said or Ben catches it. I had an illegal hub that we decided was too difficult to fix so we just went with it for the rest of the game. XD We are very laid-back like that. I 'won', but I said Ben should win, but he said I should win. Hey, the best part is playing together. ^_^ Your videos help us tons and I even watched it again today to help me refresh before the game. Sure, I made goofs, but being able to play a new game at all today was it's own triumph. We enjoy your channel a lot!!! :) :) :)
@@teejleague3838 You both sound like you have a very easy going dynamic about dealing with rules errors and winner, and I think that's really heathy, and will help ensure the hobby always stays fun for you!
I heard about this game and totally forgot about it. It fascinates me. I don't think I would've picked it up without this video, but this really encourages me to get it. Reading directions on a game this complex without a video are really difficult for us. Thanks so much for this!
There's quite a few actions, but once you get a round or two under your belt, I think you'll find it makes a lot of sense, and hopefully the video helps in that regard too!
I LOVE it when a game I already own gets a Watch It Played video! Thank you so much for this! We haven't played it yet so this video will be very helpful! 😊😊😊
You've introduced us to a train game we really like already, Ride the Rails. This one looks like another we'd enjoy. The robots and passengers add an interesting element.
So, I'm curious if you've played this through and if you have any friends with "clumsy hands"? With the track just laying there, was there any problems with people bumping them or constantly having to realign them when people take their turn?
I’ve been looking at this game for awhile, but am unsure about getting it. I own Railways of the World and all of the maps, is Maglev different enough to own both? All of the gameplay that I’ve seen, they seem very similar.
I had some trouble with the copper and the golden meeples as far as I remember. On the board it is quite clear, but the meeples themselves are a bit tricky to tell apart I thought. You probably would have to mark them.

Hope it helps you get into the game play nice and quick :)
This is amazing timing! I was planning to play Maglev Metro since I just purchased it.. and an expansion kickstarter is coming up! Whoa! Thanks!
I hope you have a great time playing Mike!

Yes, it's fun to be able to adjust your board to manipulate the power of your actions.
This one has been high on my list for a while. Now I can have my fellow gamers watch the video to see if the want to play!
Here's hoping you get a chance to enjoy it with them soon!
With the Kickstarter making it easy to get the base game added on, and at a savings, it's go time
I always wonder how many takes he has to do to get the box-spin-catch right :)
Are you suggesting it's not the first time, every time? *gasp*!
Great video! Very cool looking game. 😎
Thanks Henri :)
great video! you sold me 😁
Glad you enjoyed!
Your explanations are the bests out there!
Very kind of you to say - thanks for being with us all this time!
Rodney is the Mr. Rogers of boardgaming.
Great video!
Thank you!
I cannot watch you say 'This piece of Track' without internally translating your voice to attitude-Era The Rock...
Awesome!
If you get any more smiley at the beginning of your videos you're going to pass out🤣
I'm up for that challenge!
I'm surprised you haven't done a Moonrakers how to play yet.
So many games, so little time!
If you want to buld a track on the lake you need two units. Can you pay with two actions too, assuming there is only 1 unit per action?
My understanding is that you need to be able to create the necessary units within that action.
So, I'm curious if you've played this through and if you have any friends with "clumsy hands"? With the track just laying there, was there any problems with people bumping them or constantly having to realign them when people take their turn?
When playing I don't recall us having any noticeable challenges that way.
Hey Rodney! was wondering if there were plans for you to do a tutorial for Tiny Epic Dungeons?
Thanks for the interest! I talk a bit about that here: czcams.com/video/EdtDuvIUa6A/video.html&t=342
Okay! good to know. I hadn't dived that far back into your catalog yet, but I will bare that in mind for the future 😀 thanks for the follow-up

I haven't played Railways of the World, so it would be hard to say.
Do you guys play on table top simulator also?
On the Watch It Played Twitch channel we will sometimes stream from TTS.
How colorblind friendly are the colors?
Hard for me to say, as I'm not colorblind. Do you know someone who could check?

@@teh0tak1n9 They made some adjustments to the copper meeples I believe.
