I really appreciate that you take your time and do not rush through it. I have been watching some videos to find out, if I will enjoy this game as a solo game and now I'm going to order it :)
I've really been enjoying these last two videos. In addition to the 'deck labels' you made using the turn tracker and the two extra ring tokens, would there be any other new tokens that came with the game or could be useful? I'm asking because I got some custom token replacements from Etsy and would love to order some more to prepare for my pickup of Fire and Swords.
I got this game, had no interest in multi handing so just combined the 2 decks for each side into 1. I felt the game was a bit underwhelming tbh. But after watching your video (and you always seem to have this power) im suddenly intrigued to try it out as separate decks. it does look way better that way.
@BoxofDelights Hey Ricky, I just watched another video where the bot activates a battleground only if it can conceivably win so in that case the event card should have been cycled instead cause it wouldve been an easy 3 points.
Yes - I believe the designer has clarified. As it stands, there is no rule governing Events, so I have just been playing them; but you are absolutely correct, that the designer has [on forums] qualified that you should also apply the usefulness and 'conceivably win' rules to events too. Perhaps I shall call the 'always play events' rule a house rule for making things a little easier!
@@BoxofDelights lol, I mean, an on the box 1-n players, like Scythe, or some mission scenario like Mage Knight, etc. But yeah, haven't watched the series yet, cause I always saw 2-4 players and 'best with 4', so I assumed it was no good on solo. (busted ;)
Excellent demonstration! Gives me a perfect feel for the solo play process. I think I'll enjoy it very much. Thanks!
I was just thinking about this game the other week. And lo and behold, a playthrough from Ricky Royal! Most excellent.

Thanks Ricky, been looking forward to this. Placed a pre-order for the expansion, love the artwork.
Thanks Ricky. Nice video. Love you calm voice.
I was wondering about part 2 of this solo play. Is it coming?
Yes - it is coming soon. Thank you for your kind comment :)

you got it; nothing else needed. The expansion comes with an additional 6 corruption tokens.

The solo game is much better with multiple decks.
agree - 100%

@@BoxofDelights haha sure! The bot is already hard enough I've yet to win a game against the bots
Still no solo mechanic in this game right?
I’m playing the solo rules in the video

yes- the expansion is for solo and says1-6 on the box. Watch the video and you will see 👍 And yes, it’s great solo 👍
