Watch “The Colonists (Revisited) - 2p Play-through, & Roundtable Discussion by Heavy Cardboard,” a gameplay video for The Colonists on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Heavy Cardboard on YouTube:

Made with Restream. Livestream on 30+ platforms at once via https://restream.io We busted out a full, 4-player, 4-Era game at HeavyCon and everyone who came by the table was like, "Awww, I haven't played this in YEARS" or, "I own this but never got it to the table". So that has inspired me to make sure we get it back to the table, to inspire y'all to play this EPIC Uwe Rosenberg-inspired masterpiece! So join Edward & Ken for a full play-through!

About The Colonists, from BoardGameGeek:

Description from the publisher: In The Colonists, a.k.a. Die Kolonisten, each player is a mayor of a village and must develop their environment to gain room for new farmers, craftsmen, and citizens. The main goal of the game is full employment, so players must create new jobs, educate the people, and build new houses to increase their population. But resources are limited, and their storage leads to problems that players must deal with, while also not forgetting to upgrade their buildings. Players select actions by moving their mayor on a central board. The Colonists is designed in different levels and scenarios, and even includes something akin to a tutorial, with the playing time varying between 30 minutes (for beginners) and 180 minutes (experts).
