"Music from Epidemic Sound (www.epidemicsound.com)" - Hry
I've genuinely never had so much fun watching a solo playthrough on a game before, really want to get my hands on this game, only found out today it existed!
I'm so happy to see this back! I watched your previous play through and was sad to hear that you had sold XIA. It is great that you got it back and I vote YES to continuing this campaign series. Thank you for this!
It was a moment of weakness I think. So glad Ricky did a playthrough to get me back on board!
Loved it and would love to see more!
I would upgrade to the +3 impulse! You used it a lot in this game and if your next goal is to get blown up 3 times in the best game that's extra movement to do blind jumps or move into asteroid fields!
Ah such a great idea!!! Can you see why I love this game? Just so much fun.. a sandbox of space joy for solo!!
A definite yes on continuing the series! This game is so much fun. Loved the lore details that you added to your play through, very immersive!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks so much!
Definitely want to see more! This play through was definitely edge of your seat entertainment!
Thanks Joe so much for watching!! I'm going to record the next one soon!
Instantly subscribed after watching a couple of your videos. Hands down the best board game playthroughs on CZcams. Very energetic and positive presentation (both you and Mike; haven't watched the others yet), just enough level of rules clarification, and exceptional editing.
Looking forward to the rest of Xia campaign. Cheers!
Thank you so much Michael!! Appreciate you following along!!
Bro!!! This play through has been the best thing I've seen all year!!!! (until I see your next play through 😉)
Haha!! Thanks so much Brad!!
Such a great game, glad to see new channel content on this one. Absolutely love the story potential this game brings without locking you in to an inflexible game for the sake of it.
Totally agree! Thanks so much for watching!!
A huge “yes” to continuing this series! I bought this game after watching your previous playthrough. Definitely looking forward to watching this entire series!
They'd awesome! More is coming!
I'm currently backing Arydia, and can get this game as an addon, so this video really helps me make my decision. It looks like a cool game!
So glad to help! I hope you do the adventure is amazing!
I sort of backed Arydia to get Xia after watching RR and One stop. Mage knight in spaaaaace👍
Uh … and i thought the arydia pledge was expensive…. Now I almost doubled it :)
Sorry about that!! But worth it!!
Love this game. Looking forward to your playthrough
I am so with you I hope you enjoy the playthrough!!
Never heard of the game let alone played it but your excitement got me excited. Well done!
Oh it's so fun to gain fame in any way possible!! Thanks so much for watching!!
Excellent solo playing! You have a great grasp of the solo rules and explain them quite well.
Thank you so much David!!
defo another one. Enjoyed that. I ordered this through the Arydia campaign. can't wait to get it. Thanks for the playthrough Colin.
Thanks so much Mark for watching and I hope you get to enjoy this one soon!!
Superb execution. This deserves to become a series.
Thank you so much Danko! It shall be so!!
Absolutely continue to play, love this playthrough. Definitely want to get my hands on this game asap!
It's so good isn't it??!! I hope you can play it soon!
I so have to get this beaut to the table soon... I concur to you running the campaign 😃
Thank you for a nice playthrough 👍
Get it to the table soon its amazing!!!
Thanks for the play-through. I really need to get this to the table. Just need to set aside a couple of hours. It looks so fun!
That is the biggest thing! Give yourself some time and you'll have a blast! Thanks for watching!
Yes please do more if you are so inclined. I loved this one and it would be great to watch you continue. Thank you!
Thanks so much for watching! More is certainly coming!!
Xia is the best! Please keep it going! Definitely my favorite sandbox experience. Always such a great story.
I am so with you! More coming!
Wow. I had asked you about this a few months back. Glad you brought it back.
I am glad you asked!! I and glad we took the plunge and get it back to the table!
Just finished. Great vid. I haven’t done the solo campaign yet so glad you are running it.
Recommend the mission roll upgrade.
Clearly explained action. Well done! I'm ready to set up a solo game myself, now. 👍
Glad to help have fun!!
Loved the playthrough! I'd love to see a more combat heavy or cargo-centric game just to show it's versatility.
Totally get that! Yeah this one was all about exploring!
Just finished watching. That was awesome. I really hope you do more campaign for the channel. I’d get the extra impulse probably: seems useful and upgrades nicely too.
Thanks max for watching and the suggestion!
Awesome!
I love the revisits of "older" games. It's something rather unique to
Also love Xia.. can't wait for Arydia!
Well thanks so much! I love pulling out older games itv reminds me to not get too focused on new new new! I am as well super excited for Arydia!
Great gameplay. Really excited to see you do this game! I’ve been trying to get it to the table for quite a while. The solo play through is very helpful.
I would pick the +3 impulse. It seems that your ability to move in this game is very important. The extra impulse could help with so many different situations.
Totally with you! I can't get enough of this one. I agree on the impulse I think that's a good first one too nab!
So great to hear your enthusiasm again Colin. As a matter of fact, funny coincidence. I also just reacquired this game a few months ago after having sold it a few years ago! This was the first time I rebought a game I had sold.
Please do more of your enthusiastic playthroughs!
Oh. And edit : I would choose the +1 to shield, missile and blaster use!
So awesome!! I am glad I'm not the only one that came to their senses! Thanks so much for watching and for the suggestions!
I just want to say, in a very long winded response to this video, when I first saw this on Shut Up And Sit Down's channel, I knew immediately I had to buy it. I scouted Ebay for weeks until a pristine copy came up as they were at the time out of print and paid nearly 450$ usd for the whole shebang. But man, it was well fucking worth it. I absolutely love this game and have only recently been able to really learn it and get into it. This video has helped me tremendously play the solo campaign (which is where I've been learning the rules to hopefully teach my friends some time down the road when we can get together and play) and your clear instruction along with great narration is an absolute treat to watch. Thanks for uploading this whole thing! I'm really glad other people out there see the immense replay value this game has. Cody really struck gold with this game. I don't know if you have done any searching or not, but just recently I've found on that on Board Game Geek there's an entire section of player-made custom content for this! You can print it out and use some of the Xia: Mod kits to literally make print quality board game pieces sectors tokens and ship mats. If you haven't checked some of those out, you absolutely should! They even have some star wars ships and planets! It's insane!
Again, just a huuuuuuge thank you for taking the time out to do such a great job and conveying the rule set for this very rule-dense, immensely fun game. Hope to see you in the cosmos sometime, Asteroid Worm!! :D
Haha YESSSSS!!!! So glad you enjoyed it and I hope you fare well in the Verse!! I will have to check out the fan made content!
I love the story element you craft while playing. Xia is such a great game!
Thank you!! And yes I agree the game is AWESOME! 😁
Oh man, someone took that reckless title to heart. Role-playing at its finest.
You better believe it!!
Would love to see another one. I like your playthroughs.
Thanks so much for watching! More is coming!
Love XIA and it's been way too long since I've played. So glad to see you running through the campaign. Now I get to watch and learn and get my own campaign underway.
That is awesome!!! I hope you pull it out and have a blast playing!
@@OneStopCoopShopBTW, at 10:05 (setup) you can spawn your Tier 1 ship on any spawn point of your choice, from Solo Rules booklet, Setup #10. The SOLO SETUP card does not specifically say you get to choose.
Payed way to much for a mint used copy with expansions. Wow, I love this game. I've watched this and the other playthrough multiple times. Yours is the best by far. Would love to see you continue with campaign. Thanks for all you do.
Thanks so much Eric! I hope you enjoy it and next video is coming out next week!
Awesome play through as always! At some point this year my birthday will come around and the next video in this series would be the perfect gift...you know...if you're looking for gift ideas.
Hahaha I am so up for it!!! I'll make sure to have it done by then! 😁😁
“Yes” to continuing this series :)
Sweettt! Thanks so much for watching!!
Great playthrough.
This is awesome game, I'd love to see you doing more videos of this game, if it's too long for the other watchers you could divide the videos into two parts like in your old seriess.
Regarding the question of what to upgrade, I would probably upgrade the impulse.
Thanks Yeral for watching and the suggestion!
Yes please, more!!
Halfway through recording the next video!
Haven't played this in a while, but this was a fun refresher! I agree with other commentors that +3 Impulse is the way to go.
Sometimes it's nice to pull out those oldies right? Thanks for the suggestion!
Oh man I’m going to have to dig out my copy! Excited to watch this, as with all your playthroughs!
Pull it out!! It's a great one! Thanks for watching!!
This game looks fun. Another game on my list!!
This one is GREAT! I just recorded scenario 6 and still having a blast!!
Great to see this back on the channel. Inspires me to get on to a Solo campaign myself!
I think that (strictly speaking) you made rules goofs by revealing titles and events immediately - you're meant to wait until the end of your turn (which means the open shields would not have triggered so quickly!!!) However I think I prefer the way you did it and it makes it easier!
Tip maybe? When placing damage on the extra damage mod, if you'd placed one on the junction and one on the ship you would have had 2 spaces for ice damage which could then not spread. Didn't matter in the end but could have given you an extra turn outside a planet.
So looking forward to the rest of this series - I hope you continue doing them to complete the campaign!!!
Thanks so much for watching!! I totally forgot that events and titles don't reveal until end of turn! That would have drastically changed that ending I think! Oh well thanks for the reminder. Loved the tip too thank you! Planning on doing the next scenario in the next month!!
There was a similar trick available at the very end (when it didn't matter anyway) - placing the final damage in both spaces adjacent to the ice would have prevented it from spreading if the game ending hadn't done so anyway.
So many small things you can do in this game I love it!
haha, just got here from Ricky's playthrough. I have been on the edge about getting it...we shall see after I watch yours!
I hope it's a yes cause it's awesome!!
@@OneStopCoopShop haha, it is certainly getting harder and harder to talk myself out of it!
Give in give in!! You won't be disappointed!
@@OneStopCoopShop yeah...found someone selling it+the singleplayer expantion...so, I got it.
Thanks for the great video!
Ohhhh yeah! So glad you got it!!
I’d love to see you continue with the campaign
It's happening!
Please play more!!! This helped me learn the game and I'm going to give it a try on TTS until my copy arrives later this year
More is coming! Thanks so much for watching!!
@@OneStopCoopShop No, thank you for the top quality content. :)
My pleasure!!
Yes please, for more Xia! I only recently ordered the reprint of Xia, but it will not be delivered until at least early 2023. I wish I had the game already. But someday!
2023 will come soon I think!! Thanks so much for watching the playthrough!
Thank You for these. I was having trouble wrapping my head around the rules. I even tried one of those combined rulebooks from BGG. It was all still clear as mud. These helped immensely. Thank You.
I just got this with expansion as a gift. I would like to see more of this campaign.
Awesome!! I have the second scenario here and scenario 3 next week!! czcams.com/video/HkkP4ufcWhU/video.html
Such a great game and I loved the play through. I quiet love to watch the entire campaign over time, for sure.
I would think the +3 impulse would be great to start with, so you are not pigeon holes in with an ability you may not use right away. You will always use the impulse, no matter what type of game you are playing this scenario. Just my two cents. 😊
Thanks so much for watching! And I agree impulse is the way to go
I’ve owned this game for many years. It has never been played though I have gone through the rules multiple times. This video is the first time I feel like I can complete this game. Thanks for your hard work!
So awesome! Glad to help and have loads of fun traveling the verse!
Really enjoyed this playthrough! I really appreciate the pacing of the video, narration, and cuts between actions. It’s not too fast which makes it easier to follow without having to stop and rewind.
How long do you think it would have taken to play the session if you weren’t recording it?
Thanks so much for watching! If want recording probably about the same amount of time as the video since I had to move the Cabrera around etc. So this was a longer one. You will see if you watch the campaign other objectives are much faster than this one!
After watching this I bought online a copy of this game. Please play some more Colin.
That is so awesome and will do!
Yes!
Whoot!!
Yes, more solo campaign vids. I will play this for a week or two put it away and pull it out 6 to 9 months later and have to relearn the whole thing again but I do love the game and the company was super responsive when my first copy arrived missing many of the components I got a full replacement at no cost so I have some extra ships if two of us wish to play the same ship.
Wow that is so cool! I already recorded scenario 2 should be up soon!!
Just got this today at a LGS… 50% off yo! Now I got eyes on that much needed expansion
Nice!!!
I am always down for more Xia and Mage Knight videos from Colin and RickyRoyal!
Whoot!! Thanks so much for watching!
Please more of this
Will do!! Thanks for watching!
Pre-ordered the next printing from the Arydia pledge manager with all the expansions. It can't come soon enough!
Evan, you won't be disappointed is a blast!!
This is my favorite board game of all time.
And I can see why!
I just paid why to much for a used copy with all expansions from ebay. But man I've always wanted this classic. Looking forward to your take. 👍
Worth it!! Thanks for watching and have fun!!
*you are mine new series to watch now*
Whoot!!!!!!!
Really appreciate this run through. When is the next one?
Thanks! Not sure! Was waiting to see if there was interest for more and it appears so. It'll be soon!
Yes 👍
Thanks for watching!
Yes please, continue this Xia campaign. I love this game but I can't play as much as I want because time.
I hear you!! It takes a bit to record I'll tell you that! Thanks for watching!
Definitely want to see another playthrough with a different focus. Try focusing on bounties next!
There will be another one posted this Friday!!
I'd say Impulse or movement, since both will be good no matter the objective.
I like eliminating options so it forces you to make choices you don't normally do. It reminds me vaguely of the Eldritch Horror campaign, except better =D
Probably the best part! Thanks for watching David!!
I would suggest to take the +1 for engine use or +3 for mission roles as it will make you a bit quicker or make the mission rewards a bit better
Thanks for the suggestion Lars!
Yeesss! Bring us more Xia!
Never enough Xia right??!!
@@OneStopCoopShop right! I'm looking forward to buy it, although it's a bit expensive nowadays
Are you in for Arydia? If so It is more reasonable in the pledge manager I think!
@@OneStopCoopShop unfortunately I'm not, they're not shipping to brazil I think, at least from what I remember. But Xia I can still find some used copies though. Now I do have mage knight UE, so I'm not sure if arydia would replace it, we'll see ;)
Oh man bummer! Well at least mage knight is the ultimate fun!!
I'm torn between the +3 impulse and the 0 cost for level 1 ship abilities - the former is always going to be useful; the latter isn't always going to do anything, but is going to be useful whenever it does.
The mid-turn re-arm also looks useful, but only really if you invest all three levels in it - and only if your ship loadout supports 5-action turns.
edit: also, the orange cubes are "Spice" not "Salt" (probably a Dune reference).
Thanks for this! I'm leaving impulse just because I use it every turn. Seems like a good first upgrade!
More Xia please! I’m not voting on what campaign upgrade to take. I don’t want to be responsible if it doesn’t work out. :-)
Buhahahahahahaha!! Thanks so much for watching!
just started watchinf, cani wait mate. BTW, selected captions and no klingon available.
Thanks for watching! No additional errors yet that's why! If someone tells me I missed something I'll add it in!
I heard the creators of Xia said they are going back to add more to it after they finish up Arydia. Any truth to this? Xia is a great game btw. And yes, continue these playthroughs. Love this channel!
I am hopeful they do! Thanks so much for watching!!
@@OneStopCoopShop Btw I wish they'd make a sandbox game like this where you're a bounty hunter. That would be sweet!
Outer rim kinds gives you that experience!!
@@OneStopCoopShop I thought that was more of a pick up and delivery game but I'll check it out in more depth. Solo mode? Thanks!
It is but you can compete jobs etc. Like a bounty hunter
I don't think you can re-arm your markers and immediately get energy back, like you did in 25:00. Recharging happens in Business phase and Re-arming in the next one.
Are Colin my name! :) 35:48 Ha Ha!
I'd take the impulse since it looks like it puts you closer to the heal ability.
Also, I'd love to see more. You always make these games seem so fun. BTW, Christmas brought be the atomic bonds expansion for fallout (which you convinced me to get). My kids really enjoyed it as a coop.
So cool!! I actually am thinking of pulling that out soon again. Any favorite scenario in that one?
@@OneStopCoopShop we've really only tried Far Harbour coop. It was good. We were on the Far Harbor side. We might try it again on the side of the children of the atom. A super mutant, the ghoul, and the mister handy would feel thematic playing it that way.
Just so you know, you're on notice. If you ever move up to Canada, you have to move to my neighbourhood.
Ooooooo! I live in Minnesota so Canada is only 4 hours away! That would be so much fun! Thanks for letting me know which one you played!
Seems like this game is meant for solo. Cause apparently there would be soo much downtime multiplayer!
53:25 you say that ice damage would not spread into the ship if it's in the armor plating. I don't think thats true. Rules say it will only go into the ship or into the plating through the green area.
Nope confirmed from the designer that as long as it is in the armor playing it won't spread!
@One Stop Co-op Shop oh wow. Well that'll definitely make my games a bit easier. I'll take any help I can get. Thanks!
@@OneStopCoopShop "Ice Damage can go in armor plating (and only spreads into the ship through the single connection point)." -Ira
This is from an old post that was confusing me. I was thinking it would spread just through the connection point.
@@SoloClub123 That IS confusing. Glad we got a ruling from the designer.
@@coreymayo8321 so just curious. How are you playing it? I still do it as Ice can spread into the ship with the quote that I put up from Ira (designer). Unless I'm somehow just reading it wrong, his part in parenthesis says it spreads into the ship through the green point. I still haven't seen anything that says ice can't spread into the ship.
This seems like exactly the board game I've been looking for... too bad it's so hard to find at a reasonable price. :/
Oh you can get it on the Arydia late pledge! Iv think it's 75 bucks there! Check it out!
@@OneStopCoopShop thanks for the heads up! Wish that was $75 CAD lol. I'll still get it though, definitely better than the price anywhere else.
Any expansions worth getting?
I'm torn on if I should bother with any of them aside from the embers one
Missions and powers is a MUST! other than that I think you'll be good!
@@OneStopCoopShop thanks again, you've been a great help!
Just pledged, been looking for ages for board games that scratch the scifi and exploration itch. Love games that have the map discovered as you play, they make it way more repayable to me.
Agreed and no problem!
More salt campaign!
Haha it's happening! Recording tonight!
