I'm listening to your review now and while I enjoy it for the most part I think you glossed over a very clever and important part of the game: the initiative system. The person with the highest initiative via the Plot cards *chooses* who goes first and play proceeds clockwise from there. This choice is one of the most difficult decisions in the game because there are advantages and disadvantages to going first and last. Going first gives you first crack at the Titles, while the last player is stuck with one of the final three not chosen. But during the Challenges phase, going first is tough because you have to stay on t he defensive for all the potential attacks behind you, while going last helps because there is noone behind you.
But other than that.... good job.
