I can safely say this is the easiest to understand rules breakdown on the internet. I've had my first solo 2 player learning run through and this has just polished off my understanding and the gaps within. Modern Cardboard also sorted me out on GH so massive thumbs up.
One of my favorites: bought it a year ago, played 40 times in solo over one month. I have almost all expansions and the folded space insert and painted everything. Amazing game at ALL player count. Much less complicated as expected as you said. Great video as always, I was waiting for this one to put it back to the table, this refresh session is much appreciated! Thank you
Thanks so much for your enthusiasm Benjamin! I'm working on the solo video right now and loving it. I would love to see your painted minis on this one.
@@ModernTablegamer oh great ! How can I share them with you ? Will you paint yours as well ?
I wonder if you could share them over at the Patreon page? or moderncardboardproductions@gmail.com. I really admire painted minis, but struggle doing it myself. I have a friend I usually work with to commission painting mine ;)
This is a great explanation. I was intimidated but really want to play and you made it seem doable. Thanks!
That was absolutely the best explanation that wasn’t boring. Great video
This and Rodney’s tutorial are brilliant. Both work and definitely refer to both videos.
Great work!!
stumbled upon this and have to say very impressive. from the graphics to the voice and explanation, will definitely subscribe and follow from now on. Great Work!!!
I appreciate the effort you've put into the making of this video. We're playing Scythe today for the first time with some friends and now I am even more stoked to try the game.
Amazing explanation. Every other tutorial left me confused about many specific situations, but this one was so thorough and easy to follow. Thanks for making it!
Magnificent breakdown. Concise and easy to follow. Thank you.
Great work showing the rules so clearly for this game! Thank you!!
Been waiting for this one!
Have the core box and fenris expansion still in their wrap, on the shelf - until a strong tutorial like this can give me a reason to break it out.
Awesome! That makes me feel so good! Break them out Trey and I'm interested in what you think of the Fenris expansion as well.
Hi. Just purchased Scythe and this video has really helped piece it all together. An absolute bonus however, was the Kung Pow reference in the Encounter card explanation. Pure gold!
Really great and clear rules explanation.
Gotta tell ya, the way you broke that up made it so much easier to follow. That was a great how to video! Now I'm even more interested in the game. Thank-you!!
Awesome man. Would watch ur vids from now onwards when it comes to tutorials
Your video is awesome, as usual!! I'm looking forward to watch your video about the solo-mode. Thank you so much in advance for your efforts!
Hi Christian, Awesome! Thank you so much!
This was the best explanation on CZcams! Thanks for the video! I enjoy the game!
As with all of your other content this is an awesome tutorial video that is greatly appreciated. It is very well thought out and scripted; I know that this is no small task. I love how you have used the camera to zoom in and out during the explanations. The production quality is really excellent. Thanks so much for putting this together. Great work!! You make fantastic tutorials.
Wow! Thanks so much G S! Your comments and all of the others that have come in on this one since posting really mean a lot and keep me motivated. I was afraid people thought I faded away because of how long this one took me to release :). Thanks for letting me know you like the cameras and scripting as well!
epic video for me because i just got scythe and this helped me so much! because the other tutorials don't explain it that great.Still thank you so much.
Hands down best scythe tutorial. Great job.
Wonderfully clear explanation! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I realise a LOT of work and effort must have gone into this video, and it is greatly appreciated. Love the chopsticks!!
Thank you for your comment! Btw. I'm working on my chopstick skills for the next videos :)
Wow I'm really impressed , awesome explanation , GG thank you!
Really well done! Clear and concise!
clear and concise helpful and straightforward.. many thanks!
Thank you again for a great explaination! You’re one of the best🙌🏼
I don’t own this game, but I am saving up for it
Thanks R Gott! That's awesome! I think you'll enjoy it once you pick it up.
Dude. This is so the best boardgame teach I have ever seen
Whoa this looks great!
this is an awesome how-to. thank you!
Thanks Pete. I agree with others, you do make excellent tutorials. I would be interested in knowing which other games you are planning on doing tutorials on.... personally I would like tutorials for Dwellings of Eldervale and Eclipse Second Dawn.... maybe also Gaia Project/Terra Mystica and Tawantinsuyu or T’Zolkin. Many thanks
Hi Marcus, Right now I'm working on the Automa video for Scythe, after that, Spirit Island and an upcoming kickstarter release. I love your suggestions! Gaia Project / Terra Mystica, and T'Zolkin are a few I've had in mind. You may see a poll coming up with some of these suggestions and more on CZcams where I list a few and have viewers vote. Thanks so much!
Great video - thanks for the tutorial!
You bet Bob! Thanks!
I gonna be honest you make my crystal clear about this game. Especially this game is my first time to play heavy games
Omg yesss! I've read the rulebook so many times, even played the tutorial on steam but it never really clicked. Super excited to see that you have a how to play for it now!
Edit: just finished watching the video and it's just so well done and clearly explained. Ended up creating a patron account just to sub to you. Never thought I'll do something like this ever but I realized your videos are really good and definitely would like to see more of such quality tutorials in the future :)
HI hana18, Thank you for such kind words and for becoming a Patron! Thank you, again and always interested in any suggestions for future videos that you may have. Sure hope you enjoy playing through this one!
good video, thank you.
Thanks Richard!
Great video, thanks a lot!
Hey! Great video! I love the format and flow. I just wanted to point out one little piece of information you got wrong. Not trying to be nit-picky, but I am looking for a video to recommend to my new players and I just caught this as I was listening through.
@33:20 You say that the winner of any combat loses one popularity for any worker(s) they force to retreat. That is only the case if the winner was the *attacker*. Otherwise someone could just move a mech with all 8 workers into combat and purposefully lose and make the defender lose 8 popularity. Granted, the defender could get a combat star and they could also take the loss since attackers win ties, but that would definitely be a weird mechanic to worry about.
Overall, this is really well done, though! And only messing up one rule on a game this massive and complicated is impressive. I should also say that there were some pieces in here you mentioned that I didn't know about and have been playing wrong! So again, a job well done! 😊
He covers rules & tips that I haven’t seen in other videos
Thank you.
You rock!
Thanks Bernardo!
played scythe digital editions tutorial started game and was absolutely clueless what to do
32:15 This part is confusing me a bit. How do you reveal to your opponent how many cards you have, but not how many you play. Aren't those the same thing?
Also does the game suggest any way to hide whether you played a card or not? I feel like just setting the dial and not putting any card gives a lot of information to my opponent about my potential strength. So preferably I would like to keep them guessing if I added any cards or not. I'm not sure how the game designer intended this mechanic to be handled.
You and your opponent take all of your combat cards along with your respective combat dials and sort them out below the table out of view of your opponent. On the count of three, reveal them simultaneously.
When you use a worker for Pay, where do you put it? This is still very confusing.
Also, when you deploy a mech where does it go?
Also, if there's no worker on a village hex can you still use produce to put out another worker?
Why should you avoid combining Rusviet with Industrial ? And Crimea with Patriotic ?
It is in the rule book. Basically, I think, those combinations unbalance the game by combining faction (mech) abilities with the move actions that have the mine building. Move is the most used top action and combined with the mine’s movement ability and bonus move abilities of crimea and rusviet mechs it creates an unfair advantage.
