RPGs can be scripted, guided or open-ended. This is how I see it. Scripted RPGs are games like Final Fantasy, Gloomhaven, and Roll Player Adventures. To complete those games you cannot play without following some kind of script. Some games blur the line but the next level would be guided. In these games you could legitimately play the game with out without following a script. Zelda BoTW, Earthborne Rangers, Mythwind, are games where you play with unscripted mechanics and get a more varied experience. The next level would be open-ended, which I honestly don’t believe many games fall into. To be truly open ended you establish a basic setting and the game reacts to your actions and decisions. Aspects of many games fall into this. The aspects of Elder Scrolls that aren’t a quest fall into this. TTRPGs tend to allow for this as more of a first principle rather than board or video games which offer open ended-ness as a feature. I think games currently have no other option but to sometimes run on a script, sometimes to loosely guide, and sometimes keep it open. Maybe some future really good generative AI could be the engine for a fully adaptive open ended video game. So at the end of the day I don’t think something gets “More RPG” the more it allows your character to grow. I think it gets “More RPG” the more your decisions affect the world and characters around you in lasting and meaningful ways.
Amazing video! Thank you!
Just so you know, sky team and hive both have solo variants that apparently play pretty well! Think for hive, it's called hive in five. Sky team's solo variant modifies the gameplay so it's like you have one primary pilot and one secondary pilot or something like that so it's not as if you're playing the regular mode two-handed. Would love to see a solo variant review if you do end up playing either of those :) They're both on my wish list.
I played this with my wife yesterday, chill music, she lit her favorite pumpkin candle, and she loved the game.
Thanks for the video, first I've learned of this game. I definitely want to get it now!
No problem! I'm not a big abstract fan but quite like this one, especially given how compact the version I have is
Thanks for the playthrough. I love this game. It is so relaxing and zen. I did get the Target version with the plastic blooms and I think I would rather have the wooden tokens. But it's a great game!
I got both. I keep one at work. I still can't decide which one I like better.
Did you forget the passive player in round 4?
A dice tower deck!!
Yup! Picked it up from the Dice Tower booth from a past GenCon
This was an entertaining dang stream! I also always support a table flip.
A table flip was my last resort but luckily it didn't come to that
Game looks great (some elements remind me of It’s a Wonderful World, from afar). Online order placed, thanks Mr Space Business Man!
Hope you enjoy! I was really impressed with this game and will definitely play more in the future
Love the cosplay! 😂
I just discarded every card and only played the Bogey and got 6 piles
Did you cycle back through your discard? Once the deck runs out, you shuffle your discards to form a new draw pile
@boardgameswiththomas oh... I didn't realize that part. I thought I found a bit of a cheese.
do we only use 1 joker can we use both? if it even makes much difference…
You normally only use 1, I haven't tried it with 2 before
I live in Ohio too, Columbus! If you ever want to meet up at a gaming store and play some KeyForge, let me know!
That would be cool! I live somewhat close to Columbus but haven't been to many gaming stores there
I missed your Iron Valley sessions! These and Fallout are my favourite games you do!
Hopefully I'll return to these more frequently
If you are experienced player in this game you can't loose.
But...I've lost before :(
I’ve been waiting for this one
I've read the rules for this one, but it sure helps to see it in action. I will need to give it a try - looks more fun than I initially thought. Thanks!
It seems interesting, and I've already played a couple of games. But I have a question, can each defender's card be used for more than one attacker? a (5) +4 against a 9 and the same (5) +2 against a 7??
How do you wrap around?
It's just something you can do. Think of the numbers as going in a circle. So a King-Ace-2 sandwich is valid as it's only a jump of 1
Ooh, nice job on that final and perfect sandwich. I *never* would have spotted that! Really appreciate the shorter edited format, Thomas, and especially the fun little indie games like this. Keep up the great work!
Thanks so much!
In the end of round 2 you bought 3 colony ships with saying "Last 3 colony ships". But they are not the last, right? You have 15 and actually they are probably not limited in this scenario.
I found a cute Pokémon retheme tonight!! I just sleeved it and it's absolutely adorable! ❤
That sounds awesome! I'll have to look into that
Sad I missed this one!
Survived first try 🎉
Congrats! 🎉
What vtt are you using? Edit: nvm foundry thanks!
A lot of cool looking games. Hopefully you keep us updated during the con. Thanks for the video 😊
So, Gm emulator should work fine with dnd first and second edition
I haven't personally tried but I imagine it works similarly

Great video. This game looks fun. Your channel is the goto for me when I want to find a new solo game with a deck of cards =)
Glad to hear it! I really enjoy these types of videos and glad others do too
Enjoyed the play. FYI: Wound is a condition. You are either wounded or not. It doesn’t stack or compound so you can’t be more wounded.
Ah, good to know. Thanks for the correction!
If you like soltaire games you should check out the Zachtronics Solitaire collection. Most of them don't use a regular deck of card, though. (And it's a video game.) I'd be interested, where these games would land in your ranking.
I'll have to check it out, thanks for the suggestion!
The precincts are excluded from the extra resource cost. :)
What is different with this version of the game with For Northwood? Thanks
There are a few small differences but they are mostly the same. The main ones being: - In this version, you lose if you fail at one kingdom while in For Northwood, each kingdom has a point value and you don't automatically lose after just losing one kingdom - In this version, there are only 4 types of powers (one for each suit) while in For Northwood, there are many different types of powers for the different rulers - In For Northwood, there is a solo campaign There are a few other small rule changes like when you can play allies but I think those are the main ones
Ever play Marvel United? That's my go to. Just picked this up though
Have fun with this one! I haven't tried that one, I'm not huge on Marvel but have heard good things about Marvel United and Marvel Champions
How do I win??
I talk about this at 2:05. The goal is to get through the entire deck of cards and you win if you do so without getting all 4 of a number discarded
Thank you for teaching the game. I appreciate all your videos on solo play games.
Sorry if the background music is a tad louder than normal
We, our Fuji! I have to say first that I hear everyone not just you, say Default breach instead of deep fall breach! I want you to come back to Default breach and play your duck and go all the way through. It sounds like fun and I want to see how you do it! Then when you’re done with the solo adventure, maybe then you can create another character that but you already have a duck so you gotta keep playing your duck because it cracks me up!
I was just going to re-watch the last Fallout video because it was so fun, so I'm glad to see this pop up!
Just catching this now. Great to see you playing again. I actually sent you a message on reddit by chance recently about fallout but not sure how much you check it ;) (hope that’s ok). looking forward to watching the rest of this now!
My bad! I'll check it out now
Thanks for a great stream. Shame I couldn't stay for the whole thing.
what is your to 10?🤔
Did you mean top 10? If so, I do have a video where I rank all the games in my collection, though it does change as I get new games Currently, I'd say my top 10 is something like: 1. Bullet Heart/Star 2. Jump Drive 3. Sky Team 4. Slay the Spire 5. The Crew 6. Stardew Valley 7. Turing Machine 8. Decrypto 9. KeyForge 10. Space Empires 4X
@@boardgameswiththomas yes 'top' 10 - great list! Played Stardew recently with nieces, such fun😁
Nice Factories win 🏆!!! Thank you for these playthroughs👏👏👏👏
Glad you enjoyed!
Small rules clarification: you can move a card of one active file type in the spot of a card with a different active file type. When you do this, the two cards just swap positions
