    This is the clearest and most succinct explanation of the rules and setup I've seen. Great video.

    I love how I searched for this and wanted a quick and concise video. Many were well over ten minutes. And after watching this, it's clear they have too much fluff. Well done.

    I bought 7 Wonders Duel for iPad, but I only really understood the rules after reading a PDF of the rules for the real board game... much easier to understand than the in-game tutorial (which doesn't even allow you to go back, so if you tap the screen by accident, you have a problem). The original instruction also comes with additional examples which makes it even easier to understand the rules.

    So when you pick an age card, you can actually just hold the card, you don't have to use it to construct a building, trade it in for coins, or build a wonder, is that correct?

      @TheRulesGirl  Před 7 lety +4

      It's on the list eventually. Card games in particular are relatively easy for us to do, since we can recycle a lot of animations between videos. Plus, it's a great game and will pair well with this video!

  • @cristinalee3138
    @cristinalee3138 Před rokem

    1. Trade supply card for 2 coin plus 2 for any yellow in your city
    2. Cost of resource is 2 + 1 for ea the opponent produces
    3. Weakest military goes first
    4. Use supply to construct wonder
    5. Ea 3 coins = 1 vp
    6. Place 3 guild cards in age 3
    7. Ea player is a city

    • @TheRulesGirl
      @TheRulesGirl  Před 7 lety +8

      Hi there Marco. We primarily use Adobe Creative Cloud, so Audition for audio recording/mixing and Premiere for video editing. To make the animations, we use Keynote for the simple stuff, and After Effects for more complicated effects.

  • @JosefFerguson
    @JosefFerguson Před 7 lety +29

    Love your videos, but can I offer up some constructive criticism? You can probably drop the line "the goal of the game is to win". The goal of *most* games is to win, so it really doesn't need to be said. Anyhow, just my two cents. Keep up the great work!

    • @TheRulesGirl
      @TheRulesGirl  Před 7 lety +49

      Hee hee, we see it as serving two purposes:
      1) A goofy little catchphrase to make us a little more memorable.
      2) A reminder of our core teaching philosophy: Start with a high-level summary and work your way down. And there's nothing more universally high-level than "the goal of the game is to win".

    • @JosefFerguson
      @JosefFerguson Před 7 lety +1

      The Rules Girl LOL, that's cool. like I say, just my two cents. Love the videos. super helpful

    • @pauloarago166
      @pauloarago166 Před 7 lety +7

      Josef Ferguson I disagree. I like this a lot and it makes sense given their top-down philosophy.

    • @JosefFerguson
      @JosefFerguson Před 7 lety +4

      My point was that, from a purely informative viewpoint, the line doesn't add anything to the description, since the point of *every* game is to win. Take Pandemic for example. You could say "the point of the game is to find the cures for all four diseases before time runs out". Or you could say "the point of the game is to win. you win by finding the cures for all four diseases before time runs out". For informative purposes, the second description doesn't add anything that the first example doesn't already accomplish more efficiently. Since the whole focus of her channel is "learn X in 4 minutes", my original comment is pertinent.
      That having been said, Rules Girl has said that she sees it as a catchphrase (sort of like Rodney's "thanks for watching"), which is a different thing altogether.
