    I wish the term "AI Opponent" wasn't used in these modes. Automaton, Automa, Automata all make more sense. Maybe I'm just being a stickler, but I don't feel there's much Artificial "Intelligence" going on as the game has absolutely no decision making being done.

    Bought Robinson Crusoe for my intro solo playing during lockdown. I wanted to try another solo game. Saw this game on 50% off for Black Friday and grabbed it because Spirit Island keeps turning up on top 10 solo games lists. You did a great job teaching the game. I did same setup and played/copied all your plays. I would pause and read some of rulebook as we went. It took quite awhile! 😅 For the past couple weeks I tried a solo game with all of the Spirits and wow! It’s a great, challenging and surprising solo game! Returned to this play through again and was now able to get a better grasp on your strategy comments. (Also fine tuning some rules that I was getting wrong 🤪) Just wanted to say a big T H A N K S ! ! ! 😁😁😁

      He's doing the one spirit setup, which only populates half the island.

    This is the second video I've seen saying that this game is good/fun and the only flaw is the cover art. I agree, the cover art isn't great. But all of the big head art on the cards look bad too. Now that I've seen the game played I don't see why anyone says this game is great. I'd give it 4 out of 10 stars.

    Just for clarification, don’t the left over bullets that don’t destroy a shield get carried over to the next round? I thought if a shield has 5 and you have 6, you discard 5 and leave 1 for the next round. Also, I thought the shield breaks during the heroine round, then the effect takes place during the boss round when the boss checks for broken shields. Edit: I want to add that I read that in the rule book, bullets carry over but please correct me if I’m wrong.

    • @radarek2
      @radarek2 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

      "If any shields were broken, put all bullets in the boss’ Incoming to the center. If there are not enough bullets to break a shield, the bullets remain in the boss’ incoming and carry over to the next heroine round." To me it sounds like you only leave bullets if no shields were broken. If at least one shields was broken then all bullets (including excessive) go back to the center.

    Just stumbled across Warfighter,trying to learn where to start. As a huge fan of the Chtorr novels, I even ran a couple GURPS War against the Chtorr campaigns, so I am really interested in Warfighter Cutler. I am disabled, handicapped and also dealing with anxiety and depression. I run and play ttrpgs online but it's limited and have been searching for a few months now for some solo games but have been limited by budget so I have to do a lot of research as I can't just try stuff out. Looking forward to checking out more of your videos. Thank you.

    Hi Daniel, i just picked up this game at a sale at my FLGS, and I saw that you have a solo playthrough. The video is FANASTIC as your content always is. I ended up watching/rewatching several more of your videos as well. I hope you are doing well. I really miss connecting with you through your content. Please stay well and know that we miss you and are all behind you 100%. I will keep you in my prayers.

It isn't a cure, and I've only just starting solo board gaming, but even in such a short space of time it is occupying my mind more productively than I thought it would do. Your videos and reviews help me to choose suitable games, and I thank you for that. Hope you are well.
