Watch It Played! Teach You The Ways Of The New Science
May 18, 2013 by brennon
The Watch It Played! Series is moving on to cover Descent: Journeys in the Dark soon but before then they have posted an instructional video for a game that was produced using Kickstarter, The New Science by Conquistador Games...
The New Science puts you in the shoes of great thinkers from history trying to research and produce reports on their findings to the world. A nice history lesson as well as a fun game!
You can watch Rodney's run down of the game above and then consider picking it up yourself if you like!
What do you think of the mechanics in The New Science?

I’m sorry, I couldn’t sit through this. It’s so dry !
It shouldn’t be called “watch it played”, it should be called “I tediously read the rules and play with myself”.
It’s a worthy effort, by Tabletop got it right : explain as you go, show interesting people having fun.
I didn’t watch this one all the way through either Romain.
Don’t think the actual game helped tbh It also looks dry
Rodney usually does a playthrough as well.
The rules read throughs are more thorough than Tabletop. They are very helpful for duffers like me that struggle to read rulebooks.
I found the LOTR LCG series really helpful
Playthroughs are usually good fun imho though I swear Luke has loaded dice.
Just watched the Descent video where you can vote for two heroes to be used in the playthrough.
Sorry Ben, Luke has already chosen the Dwarf Berserker!
Aye this was one of his rules videos rather than an actual play through. Usually WIP has a proper play through of a game from start to finish. As chibi pointed out they are doing Descent next 😀
