Welcome back to the Game Garage! Back for the second play through, this time sending sparks flying between the Mechanical Marquis 2.0 and the Electric Eyrie. I, as the Vagabond, try to navigate a path to victory between these two clockwork behemoths.
Again, I whittled down ~60 minutes of film to the ~40 minutes presented here, with the addition of a little more facetime than I was anticipating as well as an impromptu tour of things... For those who want to jump right to the gameplay, 5:49 is your ticket. Thanks for checking in with the Garage, enjoy the game!
0:00 - Title card and explanation of my filming goof
1:49 - pre-game talk
5:49 - Gameplay (the roll for initiative was lost in time)
34:20 - Final scoreboard & post-game commentary
38:16 - Short tour of the "studio"
\ ROOTbotics BASICS \
If you're not fully comfortable with the basics of the ROOTbots, here's a video all about that! This was the first video in my reboot of the whole clockwork series, entitled ROOTbot Academy. Enjoy!

\ BIRD ERRATA \
As I spent time explaining in the Electric Eyrie teaching video (episode 3), a major overhaul is currently errata-able by printing off a properly sized and font'd section of the board that lays out how to run the Decree. Here's the link to the BGG page with that file (all future editions of the Clockworks will have the changes included):

\ 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 are somewhat slow to choose a faction:
