Rodney and the team six years after this video was shot: Thank you for posting this rules explanation. It helped me make a more informed choice on the Gamefound project for the Ultimate Edition (I backed it).

I love playing 50 First Dates!

Thank you for the play through Rodney. Just received my pre-order copy in the mail and going through the 1st game. As always you provide top notch work!!

Rodney... have had some questions about this game for some time... now, it sounds like one I MUST pick up.... your description was clear and got me clearly interested. Thank you!

Wow, that new intro is amazing! Keep up the good work! :)

Great video! Thank you! Excited to get my pre-ordered copy!

Took this game for a rip earlier today, it was a ton of fun! We tied and it came down to most goods in our banks. I lost but it was so close. This video helped me introduce someone new to the game and made my explanation much more cohesive. (Thanks, for teaching)

I think you have the best "how to play" videos. BTW Portal has a brilliant games IMO.

Your videos are amazing! Keep on gaming!

Your videos make me want to have kids so I can play games with them. Keep it up, you are help raising a new generation of awesome gamers!

Excellent, cheers Rodney. Just waiting for my copy to arrive, now, but I think Ignacy said they were aiming to ship them out at the end of last week, so hopefully it should be soon. Think I'll have to write up a "to-remember" sheet as there's lots of little bits that are easy to miss.

Even with mistakes your videos are the best!

Thanks again, Rodney!

Hi Rodney, great video as always! I notice that both the rules and your video say nothing about how many cards you should start with (or maybe I've missed it), so I would assume the number you start with is zero. But I've seen other playthroughs online which explicitly say you should start with six and discard two so that you begin with four. Given that you also pick up two cards during the lookout phase, that would mean you begin with six cards. I can see that you have begun the game with six cards too. Is that how the first round should begin?

I like the way you say iron.

Hi Rodney, great vid as always. Do you know if any rules have changed/been updated in the version available in the recent Gamefound campaign? I went all-in, so I appreciate there will some expansion content not featured in this video but I wast just wondering if I’ll need to watch something else of read rule books in detail before I can dive in (when the pledge arrives). Thanks.

Please do a play thru of this one!!!

Hello, very good work as usual ! But i have one question about the defense token (the shield with the word police on it) : how do we get it ? Do i need to spend an action to take one of these defense tokens ?

During the Cleanup phase you placed 3 resources on the Thieves Den. Is it not limited to just 2 resources total (and 2 workers)?
