This is the best game tutorial I’ve ever watched.
Your 3 part tutorial is amazing!! Thank you so much for posting it.
Thanks for making this tutorial! Very, very helpful and very appreciated!!!
Thank you very much!
Thanks so much for taking the time to make this. It was a very helpful introduction to a complex game for a new player.
Thanks for preparing those tutorials. I got interested in the game, and wanted to get more information about it, before I dash off to the store. The information stays on the screen for a bit too short time in few places, but overall – decent source of info and clear explanation. Thanks again!
Thanks for the tutorial. This must have taken a great deal of time to make. Did you post a link on BGG?
Thank you so much for uploading this tutorial. I’ve been looking for a while on the net for an explanation on how to play this game. Great job! This really helped!
Great tutorial, it really expedited the learning of this game. It seemed a little overwhelming at first, but it starts to make sense after plowing through the first game. I can see it taking a few more plays before I can start devising more complex strategies, but that just makes me want to play more. Anyway, great job guys.
Thank you sooooo much! Those were perfect. I get it now.
Thank you! Excellent job! It’s great that you took the time to think out your entire video and put together an excellent tutorial. Keep up the good work!
Thanks very much! Even though I have read the rules and have a solid understanding of the game, this offered some very good ways to explain the game to people. Great job!
very informative tutorial, thank you!
This is a very well done tutorial. Thanks for taking the time.
good job!
Wow. You put in a lot of work. Thanks, mang.
my head hurts from all that trading and goods
Thank you! I wasn’t sure if this game is for me, but now I am. I’m definitely gonna buy it!
Thank you very much for that tutorial ..
damm, so is a commun question among noobs, ill give it a look, ty body
There are three threads on the RFTG forum on boardgamegeek that are useful. But Youtube won’t let me post them in a comment.
The thread titles are: Military Unbeatable? 285285 , Does the player with the higest Military allways win?? 377799 , and RFTG General Strategy Guide 295249. You’ll have to find them yourself because Youtube sucks.
hey whatsup:
I finally got the game, and I pretty much dominate the rules, but now i need to practice to develop some strategies.
I figured that every time we play the person that goes for the military force strategy, meaning that he plays military planets for “free” and always has resources, because of the other players explore, and the bonus for settle, and if someone uses consume and produce even thou he doesnt multiply he gets enough VPs to win, how can you counter this?
hey its me again, know i understand the game 99% but i am having a little issue, every time we play the person that goes for the millitary develpoment strategy (focuses on military power and pretty much allways plays the settle card) allways wins, because with settle he allways draws cards, and he can play planets for “free”, so with your experiense, what will balance the game against military forces??
Good question. The standard consume power only consumes ONE good, and can’t be reused in the same Consume phase. The “up to” consume powers consume a variable number of goods, but when activated consume the maximum they can. Diversified Economy consumes precisely 3 goods, which all have to be different.
Hey very good tutorialm ty very much:
I have a question for anyone
The consume face makes you use ALL the goods to get the powers, either VPs or cards, thats clear, but then how could you explain the use of powers like in cards like: Free trade “discard up to 3 “blues” for 1vp and a card apice? couldn’t i do the same with out that power? same with diversified economy and mining conglomarate? other than that everything is clear….and again very very nice tutorial!
very well done. Thanks!
Very well done on a clear well spoken tutorial for which I am truly grateful,
I am finding this game a little tricky to grasp, but I am not going to give up on it
I know it’s going to be great once I get there.
thanks a LOT m8
Like porter said. Thank you!
Great job!
