Well paced and very clear explanations. Thank you! You guys are becoming one my new favorite BG channels in just a few weeks. Keep up your great work. Cheers from Quebec!
That means a lot! Thank you and so glad you're enjoying our channel. ☺️
I really like your presentation style: clear, to the point, with some of the best visual aids I've seen in this kind of video. Subbed.
Thanks! I really appreciate that. Credit to Dylann for the visual aids, he does all of our editing. Welcome to the channel and thanks for subscribing! Babylonia is such a good game.
This is a fantastic explanation! Thank you for making this video. I did a "test playthrough" last night referring to the instructions, but this solidifies it. Great vid, and I hope you make more.
Thanks Dustin! Really appreciate the kind words, and we'll definitely be making more videos like these. Hope you enjoy Babylonia!
Really great and clear explanation. Thanks for taking the time to do this!
No problem, glad you found it helpful!
Thank you very much for this. I’ve tried to read the rulebook a few times and it just never clicked. This was easy to follow and helped me understand the game much better.
Thanks for the kind words, Nick! It's such a good game and you're not the first person to say that about the rules so I'm glad this helped you out. Hope you enjoy your plays of Babylonia! - Carlo
I just bought this game. Thanks for such a clear succinct explanation.
Glad you enjoyed it and it helped, Sarah! Enjoy the game!
Fantastic rules explanation! A must-watch video when learning to play this game.
Thank you so much for the kind words! I love this game.
Perfect explanation in 9 minutes! Chapeau!
Thank you! 🙏
Nice explanation, clear and concise. Well done, and thank you!
Happy to help, Mitchell. Thanks for the kind words!
Really nice video!
Great video. Also great rules explanation.
Thanks Blake! Glad everything made sense, it's such a good game.
Good job with this, much appreciated
Thank you. Quality stuff 👍
You're welcome, Demi. Thanks for watching! 🙂
Excellent ! Merci
at 6:17 you place the city tile in front of the blue player, but doesn't the brown player have more clan tokens around that city?
Correct - our apologies for the mix-up with the b-roll. That city would've absolutely gone to the brown player.
This game is honestly so good!
Edit: I am so bad at rules. I’ve played this game like 5 times and never knew the placement rules for not being able to take the 3+ farmers action for the River. It makes sense though.
I also didn’t know you score a point each time you place a tile next to a ziggurat.
Haha yeah, even though it's only a few pages of rules and it seems simple, I had to set it up and play through a few sample turns before it fully made sense. It really does help to see it in action.
And I've only played 2 player so far but in a 5 player game there are 5 Ziggurats so you could get to a point where each tile you place near one gets you 4 or 5 points! But to do that, you likely won't get majority on any one Ziggurat. The choices!! Glad you love this too, it's a brilliant game.
Thanks for watching!
fantastic explanation :)
On the topic of Knizia tile placement games, have you played Yellow & Yangtze? If so, how do you rate it?
Not yet! I'd love to try it but I just haven't had the chance yet. So far the Knizia tile-laying games I've played are Babylonia, Blue Lagoon, and Tigris & Euphrates (digital version only). I need to play T&E more (and in person) to see where it ranks for me. And I think I'm on the verge of getting a used copy of Through the Desert. Once I play TtD, Samurai, and Y&Y, I/we might do a video comparing all the Knizia tile-layers. Could be a while though, we'll see if we can get our hands on some of those!
Thank you!
So every player scores point for his/her city-tiles. If i totally souround a city with my tokens all other players get 1 point per city they already have, right. Not only the involved players?
Right, so let's say another player already has 5 cities and you have none. When you gain your 1st city, you'll score 1 point and that player would score 5. Then for your 2nd city, you'd score 2 points and that player would again score 5. Falling behind too far on cities can be devastating.
Have you played Tigers and Euphrates? Seems this game was influenced/inspired from that game.
I have! Just the app and on Board Game Arena though, I'm on the lookout for a copy. And although this has the Tigris & Euphrates rivers and shares some similarities with T&E, apparently Babylonia is more of an iteration of another Reiner Knizia tile-laying game called Samurai. I haven't played Samurai yet so I can't compare them myself but that's the one Babylonia tends to be compared to most. Knizia sort of did 3 updated versions of old tile-laying games from the 90s:
Tigris & Euphrates ---> Yellow & Yangtze
Through the Desert ---> Blue Lagoon
Samurai ---> Babylonia
