tGG, ep. 38: Robo Rumble 5 (2p edition)

Description provided by the creator on YouTube:

Welcome! If it was way too long before we got RR4 to the channel, it's been _WAY_ too long for RR5! We got the ROOTbots back to the Game Garage with the good ol' rivalry of Cats and Birds on the Lake Map. This won't be the final position for the GoPro, but I'm actively figuring out options before I redo all the ROOTbot teaching videos! Enjoy!! TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Introduction 2:37 - Game start! 23:02 - Kyle's Cool Rules #1 (RoboBirds bonus hit) 28:38 - Kyle's Cool Rules #2 (RoboCats escalated daylight move/attack) 32:25 - Final Scoreboard 34:07 - Endgame map analysis 37:40 - Future plans & Signoff MY PLACES...

This was the first video in my reboot of the whole clockwork series, entitled ROOTbot Academy. Enjoy! https://youtu.be/3dP4pSm22u8 \ MY FLOWCHART \ And if you catch a glimpse of the inside of my Root box cover, my homemade Root faction flowchart (with major props to Tom Teaches for the better icons) is available to print and have with you at all times, in case you or other players need some help with faction choice. Also, this will be getting a total overhaul with the new factions sometime this spring once I've had more time to play around with them: https://boardgamegeek.com/filepage/196837/root-faction-flowchart \ MY POEM ABOUT THE FLOWCHART \ This was my entry to the 60-Second Root competition to help celebrate the Marauder Expansion, wherein I confess my undying love for the game in the form of prose, referencing the aforementioned flowchart and what it means for a game to inspire _this_ much creativity in its fans: https://youtu.be/6LsG60eNuxQ \ MY TRUMPET EXERCISES \ Speaking of undying love and creativity, here are the eight exercises I wrote for trumpet inspired by the eight factions currently in print (the rats and badgers will have to be added soon!): https://youtu.be/6LsG60eNuxQ \ ROOT THE MUSICAL!? \ Okay, now I'm just being ridiculous. This was ANOTHER creative project that sort of lit my brain on fire for one weekend... I made a spoof on a different song from a different Broadway musical for each of the currently published factions... I know... usually this is when someone says "get a hobby" but clearly I already have one... https://youtu.be/8M9mha1xuL0 MY THANK YOUs: MUSIC!
