Agricola - solo playthrough and final thoughts (solo Uwe Rosenberg series)
Great video. I think the black cubes are supposed to be ore.
Really appreciate your final thoughts on the expansion. Looking forward to your rankings video!
Had this game since it first came out and bought it because it it be played solo.....haven't played it yet ! Have over 400 board games and not sure which to play next....due to not boring physically well space is a problem. Been playing R&W small games. Must think positive. Enjoyed your video. Thanks. 🙂
Finally someone that shares my evaluations on many popular games. Sub! Great work with the videos. Cheers from Sweden
Thank you, I'm looking forward to the Rosenberg ranking video!
Thank you for watching! 🤩 I will try and get it out as soon as I can! I just want to make sure I play everything again to make sure my memory of the game is fair! 😜
I loved the playthrough, thank you for it!
Thank you so much for watching ☺️
I love Feast for Odin despite being terrible at the game. I have yet to try the Norwegians expansion though. Thanks for the play through, Rhiannon!
It definitely took me a while to get anywhere near the 100 score, I get so distracted from my planned strategy 😊 darn sandbox games!! 😜 Thank you so much for watching 🤩
With you top down camera it would be very beneficial, as the viewer, to have you player meeples layer down. It is hard across videos to see what is placed where without lying the tokens/meeples/resources on their sides. To make viewing easier.
I absolutely am supposed to do this on my playthroughs (someone gave me that feedback before!) and I always forget!! I will try and do this in the future as I completely agree that will be much more helpful! Thanks for the feedback 😃
lol, you did actually score 90 points, because you forgot to take the nature token for your last hawk (topmost, rightmost). :) I appreciate a lot that you don't just complete the playthrough but review the game giving long and articulated thoughts as well. Most content creators do one thing or the other (another strong solo gamer who does both is Purple Moose. I suggest to check out his content, if you like. Both of you have criminally low views!).
Re: the characters being all women (which is true of One Deck Galaxy as well). I remember people asking why on BGG, and somebody saying, "What if I want to play as a male character?", and the creator (who's a man, Chris Cieslik) answering something along the lines of, "You can certainly play as a male character. Just not in one of my games".
Great playthrough. You definitely had a bad beginning with all those traps (which is funny because those weren't meant to be the starting doors, since you paid the 5-time cost in the reverse order), and you still got awfully close to beat the dragon. Small nitpick: potions don't work the way you used them in this playthrough. They're not skills, they don't take a skill slot, they get tucked under the turn reference (page 18 of the rulebook, Identified Potions).
Found your channel with this video! I'm gonna binge so many things! :) However, as a non-English native speaker, I don't understand what's the word you're using for "ore". Peat?
Welcome in! And thank you so much for watching 😁 Apologies I interchange how I refer to things quite a lot! I sometimes refer to the ore as peat which is a type of rich soil. In another Uwe game, Fields of Arle, I believe the cubes represent peat so I think it was on my mind!
@@bluedogboardgames Gotcha. It's just not a very common word (I had to look it up!) :) I'm watching your Final Girl playthroughs rn, my favorite solo game. I hope you'll play it again at some point, series 2 scenarios are pretty great! (I especially recommend the Alien one and the madhouse one).
oh, a Feast for Odin and the expansion! i need to grab a sandwich and drink and sit and watch this. i have played this 4 times and have only played with the Norwegian expansion. excited to watch!
Thank you so much, may call for a larger meal with the length of this one! (Sorry!). I love this game a lot, you were brave for playing with the expansion straight away!! There's a lot to take on board!
With the four slot having BOTH money and emperor it makes sense to boost it because you get the money back and net an emperor
I’ve seen people talk about print and play games all the time on Reddit but I’d never actually seen one played until now, I’m quite surprised and may have to try one out myself sometime! Didn’t realise you 3D print 😮 I got my first printer a couple months ago and I’m absolutely obsessed with it 😂
This one really took me by surprise I must admit! It opens the doors for so much extra board game potential in terms of cost and delivery time so it's something I'm quite interested in...but I do think I need to make sure it's an easy print otherwise it's just not that nice to play with. I have a print and play copy of For Northwood as well which I absolutely love because I haven't been able to source a printed copy. I hope you find some you like, there's so many to choose from! They do forums on BGG every year where people upload their new print and play ideas which is super fun to look through, even if some are a little rough around the edges 😅😜 Yes my husband is the 3D print person really, we haven't experimented too much but we have a nice insert for Bitoku and a couple of other little extras like card holders for Frosthaven. It's so satisfying to see it come together! When it prints ok that is... 😉 Thank you for watching Simon 🤩
Thanks for the video, Rhiannon!
Thank you for watching and your support! I feel like this one is false advertising...I didn't really even get close to what I said we were going to do 😅 there's so much stuff to see in BG3! 🫠
@@bluedogboardgames Ah, well. There is always next time, right?
Thank you for this amazing video and feedback! We're really happy you enjoyed the game and we'll try to include some examples with bosses, shorter missions etc!
Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to try it out and for the effort you've put in for your amazing game! I had so much fun 😊
Hm we definitely won’t be able to fit the expansion in the same box
When Feronia has to take a creature, it has to be the one stipulated on the solo card - the arrow to the left of it (based on the current card when you did this action) denotes which way to go on the Borderlands until you reach a creature. However many steps you took is however many spaces Feronia's veteran worker moves on the RP track. You only moved it once, it should have moved at least 3, and then again for the second creature she couldn't take.
I agree with the other folks that this looks genuinely cool, and I’ve signed up so Kickstarter lets me know when this goes live.
Exciting!! They've definitely put a lot of thought into this one. I really want to try their other game too as that also looks really interesting (Villagers of the Oak Dell). I hope the Kickstarter goes well for them as I think this game deserves attention! Thanks for watching Sean 🤩
I just bought Villagers; I haven’t played any games you have to print yourself, so I have to figure out how to do that nicely. I only have a B&W printer here at home.
I'm also playing this on my channel soon!!! So fun😍😍😍
Oh awesome! I'll keep an eye out for your vid! I took a little while to get into the swing of doing somewhat ok at it but have had a lot of fun with it along the way! Glad you're enjoying it too 😁
@@Crimsonboardgames awesome. I will keep an eye out for the video!
Yay! My two favourite board game channels right here 😁 always looking forward to seeing a video from you guys
@@Simon-L-B omg thank you🤗🤗
I have yet to get a print and play game, but this one may change that. Thank you for sharing. 😊
Thank you so much for watching! Yes this one took me by surprise a bit, I thought I'd like it but didn't realise how much and there was a lot more strategy and things to think about than meets the eye! It's super fun! 😁
@@bluedogboardgamesyes I've been really enjoying it as well!! Such a unique combat system which is just so fun to see!! And I love a dungeon crawler 🤗🥰
@@bluedogboardgames now I am really excited. I have watched a lot of your videos and find that we have similar tastes in games so that means this may be a good fit. And the price is wonderful as well!
@@Crimsonboardgames ah, I love a good dungeon crawler. And you’re so right, the combat system is very unique. I can’t wait !
Just played Arborea solo, loved it! It felt so complicated at first, but got totally invested and sucked in! Thanks for a great video showcasing this game!
Yes it felt quite overwhelming for me too when I started! I'm glad you've enjoyed it! Thank you so much for watching! 🤩
Also, just to clarify, Feronia is female and you refer to her as 'he' :P
I just bought this game and was a little confused by the solo setup for Feronia. After it says to set 5 Elders in the supply and then one Young villager as the Eco Track tracker, it says in the rules to 'Give Feronia 1 Veteran Villager'. But I don't see where or when this is ever used? In other videos I've seen solo setups they do not give Feronia a Veteran villager...do you think this was a misprint or am I missing something?
I am having audio probs 😥and Sorry !
@@apollonia6656 What sort of audio problems? It's ok my end 😊 try turning it off and on again 😂
Yet another one I need to try solo! Thanks again for another play through, Rhiannon!
It's such a beautifully relaxing game, but definitely worth finding the spot which fits you in terms of relaxation vs challenge! Thank you for watching :) I hope you enjoy it once you get round to giving it a go!
Wow we're being spoiled for content at the moment, thank you! I think this one is a little light for me, but somehow I got the sense that you really liked it. ;-) On top of solo playthroughs, BG3 streams, may we have "Nature Walks with Rhiannon"? :-)
Ha yes I've been on a roll! Thank you for watching Sean 😁 yes it is very light but definitely one for after a hard day! You know what I often think about sharing the wonderful walks I go on somehow but I'm not quite sure how I would want to 🤪 it would mostly be my dog barking at me to play ball so not that relaxing 😅😝
@@bluedogboardgames Well, I'd watch them, the barky Blue Dog would be a feature! The UK countryside is so beautiful, I've only managed to visit London/Edinburgh once.
I love this game but I think you’re right about the 3 coin acquisition for the automa. Seems a bit excessive to me as well. Everything else about the solo mode appears to be more “balanced”
Thank you for the playthrough of this one, Rhiannon. I have played and enjoyed the game several times multiplayer but have yet to try it solo. I am going to have to give it a shot!
Give it a go! It's a lot of fun and quite thinky! Thank you so much for watching! 😁
Thank you so much for the play through of this one, Rhiannon! I own it but have kind of been intimidated by the thought of getting it to the table, lol.
It is a bit intimidating!! It definitely took me longer than most games to get going, especially with the solo, but it's not tooooo bad! I hope you give it a try soon it's a good one! :)
27:40 I don't know if they changed the rules in the revised edition for this, but in the original you cannot cook sheep you don't have room for. They escape before you are able to cook them.
i have the deluxe version. have yet to play this one solo despite being primarily a solo player. very fun game though and Alley Cat did an excellent job on it
Completely agree! How does the deluxe version differ from the retail?
I’ve been so curious about this one! So glad to see a playthrough from you and already guarding my wallet 😊
It's such a unique twist on worker placement! I do think it may be a bit much for my brain a lot of the time though! 😅 I hope you enjoy it!
I've played this on BGA and Tabletop Simulator and they both shuffle the cards in each group to randomize the order that they come out.
Thank you for this. I used your video to guide me through my own first playthrough. 👌
Glad I could help! I hope you enjoyed the game :)
Excellent gameplay to clarify rules! But I have a question about it, why did you change the last Donnor Card? I didn’t read anything about it in the rulebook. Thank you!
I've never heard of this game before but it looks so fun and thinky! Especially for solo😊
It's so good and I definitely think it needs to be talked about more in the solo and 2 player community!
I found your channel when I looked for a playthrough of paperback adventures on BGG. I immediately subscribed to it. Great to see new material on solo board gaming. Funny that youtube never recommended it.
Thank you so much for watching and welcome in! I hope you enjoy the content :)
What an interesting game! I’m going to check it out on BGA :) Thank you, Rhiannon, for sharing with us.
Thank you so much for watching! I hope you enjoy it too :) Such a different game to scratch a different itch!
Beautiful. Such a chill, relaxing and cozy playthrough. I’ll pick this game up next time I get the chance.
Hey Rhiannon, thanks for another great playthrough! This one looks really interesting, kind of like Minesweeper on old Windows machines. Between your final thoughts and Luke Hector’s review, this’ll be the first time I’ll buy a game based on your video (not that I haven’t been massively tempted before, ha ha!) Have a great weekend!
Yes! You're right it definitely feels a bit like Minesweeper (I used to love that game on windows!). Thank you for watching :) I hope you are enjoying the game so far and are having better luck than me on the 'hard' difficulty!!
@@bluedogboardgames I finally managed to play a solo game today and….I love it! I got spanked by the automa so I can’t help on how to beat it yet, lol. I ordered the extra 20 levels as well. Thanks again for a game I would otherwise never have even heard of!
Will you make a solo playthrough video of the expansion?
I may do at some point! It's a very long game so it won't be anytime soon I'm afraid if I do make one however. The gameplay is very much the same as the base game (minus the small vivarium phase) and I have a playthrough of that one on the channel which should help :)
@@bluedogboardgames Yeah I watched that one! I have the base game myself too. I just love watching playthroughs of games I love haha.
I love Uwe games and felt similar to you about Glass Road. I didn't have a problem with Wayfarers, enjoyed it. For Meadow, try the Solo Campfire Variant--gives the game a little bit more without being too much for a chill time.
I'll definitely be giving that a go! Thank you!
Hi Rhiannon - I'm so glad I've found your channel. I was recommended this game on Kickstarter and based off your two reviews (base game and expansion) and your playthrough (though only 40mins in) I've bitten the bullet and pledged. Thank you so much for your thorough reviews and the effort you have put in. I'm very new to the world of solo board games so will be looking at your other videos. Also this playthrough is so soothing to watch after a long day 💜
Jemima thank you so much for your lovely comments and welcome in!! I hope you find some solo games to enjoy - it's such a great hobby and hope you fall in love with it like I have! And thank you also for your kind words on the reviews/playthrough! I hope you love it as much as I do when you get your hands on it!
So thrilled they sent you the expansion, your original in-depth review tipped me into purchasing the original (retail), I'll back the deluxe expansion since it's going to be the only one.
Thank you so much! I really hope you loved the game after I'd hyped it up haha!
