Cuba Libre - Learning Live! (see description for new links!)
687Update: We later mastered our understanding of the game, and conducted a full teach and play which you can find at these links: Teach: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1299595197 & Play: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1299598428
War games are a part of this hobby which Matthew and Rodney are gaining a growing fascination with, but now it's time for them to start actually playing them! The catch is that war games often have a rule book structure not common to other types of board games, and this can be a bit intimidating. To overcome the challenge, they are going to team up and try to learn a war game together, and if you have a curiosity about war games, you're invited to join them!
On Dec 15th, grab your favorite beverage, settle in and join us as we grab the rule books to Cuba Libre and attempt to learn how to play this popular war game title together! To learn how this idea came about, watch our teaser trailer here: https://youtu.be/02bQkvoXk08
We'll be learning the game using the Playbook guide, which walks players through actual rounds of the game while directing you to the relevant rules section as you learn.
This is going to be a marathon effort, not a sprint, and we'd love to have your comments and questions and cheerleading as we attempt to tackle this game. You can also use Superchats to donate during the stream, which is a great way to show that you're enjoying the efforts. If you're watching after the fact, you can also donate through paypal to watchitplayed@live.com
We're also raising money for our friends over at NIBCARD during this stream. They are a Nigerian board game publisher and also run the only games café in Nigeria. Times have been tough with COVID, and 50% of any donations we receive will be going to support them and their mission to share gaming with the world. To learn more about Nibcard visit: https://nibcardgames.com/. You can also see a presentation from KC (the owner of NIBCARD) here: https://youtu.be/14eGWn9VPLQ?t=123
This is a very different format than we normally feature, and we'll be keen to get your feedback on whether or not you enjoyed it, so please let us know if you'd like to see more videos like this in the future by letting us know in the comments below.
