I love the sound of the cards clacking and sliding around. It's such soothing noise plus your soft spoken voice made this fairly tense game really calming to watch,
David-Michael Cone Thank you! I wanted it to have a dream-like quality. I get lots of hit from people looking for ASMR/relaxation videos on this game so I guess it's working.
you prolly dont give a shit but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb lost my password. I love any assistance you can offer me.
@Gary Ali I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
That was really informative. I picked up the game after seeing it on another channel, and I was interested in it being a Solo game. After seeing the tutorial that the guy made, I didn't understand it. Found your video, and I sat and played it along with you, and seeing you play helped me out a lot. I got 3 quick games in within your video, and I think that I have it down. A few more playthroughs and I will be golden. Thanks.
I have just discovered your channel, thanks to Lord of the Tabletop, and I must say: Thank you. I am greatly enjoying your content, and appreciate the time you take for "us".
Hi, I don't know how many times i saw your vedioes for a long time. onirim is still my favorite game ever 😊 your vedio and onirim cured my soul. thx❤ from S korea
Looks like a fun solo game but sure hope the nightmares don't appear in real dreams -- they are scary and made me jump every time one appeared! Looking forward to seeing you play more games. Nicely done!
This is an amazing play through! Just one thing: at 10:20 you say that you could play your blue key before drawing up to five (in order to peek ahead and change the order of the cards), but I don't believe you're allowed to do that. You can only play cards during the "Play or Discard" phase, OR when opening a door or banishing a dream in the "Draw" phase. Otherwise, the "Draw" phase continues (with no discards allowed) until you have five cards in your hands. Then shuffle and repeat. :)
I loved your video, like you said in the beginning of the video, it's nice to see a play through of a game before you buy it. You have a great style and nice voice to listen to, thanks for this video.
Thanks for all these videos. I have a lot of trouble understanding some instructions and you help clear up the details. Please, please do a solo Fleet: arctic bounty. I am so confused by the instructions.
I bought this game a couple years ago and couldn't make heads nor tails out of the directions thank you so much for making this vid. I think I have a get it now and can give the game a whirl.
Wonderful. I've had this in my collection for some while but just not got around to learning it. I've read the instructions a few times but not been sure I got them clear. Infact watching you play I would have made a few schoolboy errors. Lovely, perfect video.
Awesome playthrough. I bought this game over 3 weeks ago, and still didn’t play it because I’ve been too lazy to read the manual, lol. $6? Wow. That was a deal. $40 and change. But now I’m pumped to play it. Thanks
Sigh...ok, not only have I ordered this first edition game, after watching your video, but I have now pre-ordered the second edition, which has some new artwork, and more expansions. I am learning, through you, that there is a world of solo games that I have never heard about until now. Thanks again for the great videos!
From what I have heard, there is some different artwork on the cards. Not all new artwork, but mostly new, plus it will have 7 expansions, compared to the current 3. That is 4 newer expansions, or variations added. I believe it also opens up a 2 player option as well, but I am not sure if that is new or not, having not yet received my first edition yet. If any or all of that interests you, then it may be worth checking out.
I love this game! I've only played the solo version, but as far as I'm concerned it's the ultimate solo card game; all the expansions are fun and easy to grasp, it's extremely well-balanced (even when you're a "pro" you still need to think about what you're doing, and you tend to win with only a few cards to spare), the art is beautiful, and it's surprisingly relaxing. The designer's other game (Urbion) is more of a thoughtful exercise, and I find that "Friday" doesn't quite hold up to repeated play (though it's still fun!) I'm really looking forward to the special edition coming out this fall...my deck is falling apart after all that shuffling!
Adam Thornton I'm glad for the reprint too. I think this is such a gem of a game for only a deck of cards! I just picked up Urbion but haven't opened it up yet. The art is a big draw for me too. Glad to find another fan out there!
Solo McLaughlin I know what you mean! I've tried to get a few other people interested in it, but they seem to find it too complicated, or they don't see the strategy behind it...it's one of those games that might be best discovered on your own (or in a play through!) Have you tried Urbion yet? There's a lot going on in that one that isn't obvious at first. Torbey has two other games coming out soon as well. Should be a good year!
Thanks.i have 3 cards and need to draw 2 cards.i draw and get a nightmare.should i draw another card to make it 5 cards in my hand or do i have to deal with the nightmare first?
Dreamchaser99 As soon as you pull a nightmare, you must deal with it. So you have 3 cards. Draw 1. If it is a Nightmare, you must immediately cancel it.
And also what happens in this case: I decide to use my key to get rid of a nightmare.i need to take 2 cards to make it 5 cards now.i draw a nightmare and a normal card.should i put the nightmare card in limbo and draw another card?
Dreamchaser99 No limbo here. You have to fight that nightmare! So if you have 4 cards and one is a key, you need to draw a card. You draw a 5th card but it is a nightmare. You cancel it with a key leaving you with only 3 cards. So, you go to draw a card and it's another nightmare. You have to fight it. Let's say you decide to discard your hand of 3 cards. Now you have no cards in your hand so you need to draw 5. If you pull any nightmares or doors, you get to limbo them and keep drawing. Hope that helps!
Thank you! Nice video, nice game and nice voice :) I was looking for a game to play alone during those long weeks in which I can't meet up with my friends. I ordered it and I hope to receive and play the game tomorrow :)
I was actually not considering this game but you make this game look amazing! Just wanted to ask, when exactly would one be allowed and not allowed to discard a nightmare card?
I just played my first game and finished the game before the last two cards in the deck which were both nightmare cards. Really felt like I bit the bullet on that one.
I have discarding all cards in my hand to resolve a nightmare. When now i drew 5 cards to replenish, 2 of these cards are nightmares. What should i do?
Put both those nightmares in your limbo pile and draw 2 more cards. If you draw another nightmare or door, put those into limbo and keep drawing until you have 5 basic symbol cards. When you are drawing 5 cards (at the start of the game or to kill a nightmare), you must put any doors or nightmares you draw into limbo. Keep drawing until you have 5 basic symbol cards. Then, take your limbo pile of nightmares and/or doors and shuffle them back into your dream deck before you start up playing again.
Thanks. Say I have 3 cards and when I draw another one, it is a nightmare. and then I draw another one, it is also a nightmare. My hand is now 5 cards. But how do I deal with both these nightmare cards. Should I have stopped at the first nightmare and dealt with it say by discarding my 3 cards. And then deal with the 2nd nightmare (bearing in mind that I would not have any cards in my hand by now)?
I'm pretty sure that's the case. You deal with the first nightmare. If you choose to discard your hand, then you draw back up to 5 limbo-ing the next nightmare & any doors.
yeah, i'm on the second expansion now, glyphs, which i'm finding easier than exp. 1, i got 10 out of 12 as best so far. still never won once at any of this game, but very addicting, fantastic challenge !
Am I the only one who gets ASMR from this? Is it intentional? If not, you should definitely upgrade your gameplays to ASMR. I will watch your videos all the time then. And even support you on Patreon.
I Just picked up this game and one hypothetical question came to mind that you might be able to help me with. If either at the beginning of the game or after discarding your hand due to a nightmare, while starting to build your hand the first card drawn is a key card and then the next card you draw is a door of the same color, would you be able to keep that door or does it go into the limbo pile? Thanks a bunch and Great video by the way. It was a key factor in me picking up this game.
MrDbox86 Bad news. You limbo it, Anytime you are drawing a full hand (either at the start or after dealing with a nightmare) any doors/nightmares you pull are put in the limbo pile and shuffled back into your dream deck once you reach your full hand size. It is a miserable feeling to watch a key and door pop one after another. Drat those nightmares! Hope you are enjoying the game & thanks for you kind words.
Thanks for the gameplay....and thanks for the completely unexpected and calming ASMR experience. Why cannot I find this game for cheap like you mentioned?
Question:@35:25 shouldn't you have played or discarded a card before you drew that green door? Not that it really mattered because you would have won anyway, but I am still curious. Thanks.
Jeremy Santiago Yup. You are right on. I should have either played or discarded a card from my hand before drawing that green door. I was just a little too excited! Good catch.
Solo McLaughlin LOL I know. It was pretty exciting! I had to watch it all the way through to the end! I'm also torn on getting the new second edition.....
I read the instructions as "the card must be played in such a way that the previous card remains partly visible". It does not say what side of the previous card you have to play it on. Further, if I read the directions word for word it seems to me that I could play it anywhere. Do you agree with at least playing it on either side? Ps The sister game Urbion is fun also.
Knowdis96 When you start, you can pick which side to play on. Since the symbols are the same for the labyrinth cards it really doesn't matter which way you decide to work your path. After that, I think you need to keep playing the same direction so you can see if you get three colors in a row. But that's just my take on it as it doesn't specifically say anything in the rules that I could see.
Solo McLaughlin 24:57 Is it that legal? I think you should have shuffled the deck instead of discarting it because you had 5 cards in your hand and one door in limbo, maybe I'm wrong.
You can only discard a nightmare card when you prophecy and must discard 1 card among the top 5 cards from deck, or after resolving a nightmare when you draw one during you refill your hand. You put the drawn nightmare card to limbo pile when you draw 5 starting cards at the beginning of the game, draw a new hand after you resolve a nightmare by discarding your hand, and when you discard top 5 cards on the deck to resolve a nightmare (so if the top 5 cards on the deck are consist of 1 nightmare and 4 location cards, you put that nightmare to limbo pile and all location cards to discard pile)
At about 10:00 in, you are re-drawing your hand and you have 3 cards. You are thus in Phase 2 of the game (Fill Your Hand). You draw one card. Then with four cards in hand, you pause and note the blue key card in your hand and discuss whether you should discard it to Prophecy. But can you Prophecy once you have reached Phase 2/Fill Your Hand? Seems like the rules don't allow that, as I read them.
MadLadDesigns Don't worry, you aren't alone. There aren't any copies here in the US either. Hopefully this summer, after the reprint, you will be able to get your hands on a copy. I know there are quite a few people eagerly waiting for this one to become available again!
MadLadDesigns griffiegrrltkd Stasia Doster STooGE4444 Metal Josiah Orsie Wayne LaBanca If any of you are interested, miniaturemarket.com has the new version of Onirim listed as a pre-order for a pretty good price! If you are still looking, you can reserve a copy now. They didn't say when it is expected to arrive but I though you guys might be interested!
I was placing an order at CoolStuffInc and needed to fill it out a bit to get the free shipping ( at least that is how I justify it to my wife ) and after watching your video decided to add Onirim to it, plus it is the newer second edition. I do have to say one thing about your video though....the OCD in me goes crazy when you have cards upside down in your hand :D
At 35:23, after the prophecy and with five cards back in your hand, you didn't play a card but drew a sixth card. This is the first time I see the game being played but I assume it was a mistake.
Hi. Any chance of you doing a Solo run thru of "Friday"? I love solitaire games and that game intrigues me but I haven't really been able to figure it out. Thanks and I really enjoy your solo plays, you have a great style.
Nooby Vapor I do have Friday lurking on my shelf somewhere. I will get it out and run through it for you soon. Will to have to do a quick brush up of the rules first...
You know, only yesterday I was saying (considering I've never played any) how uninterested I was in card games. How wrong I am. You definitely make the vids worth watching, too.
Glad you liked it! I find I enjoy games that are more like a puzzle than direct conflict. Have you tried any co-operative games with your wife? I love playing as a team or in games where you aren't out to destroy each other. My current favorite is Agricola: All Creatures Great and Small. It's a quick and easy 2 player game. Maybe your wife would enjoy it too. Hope you can convince her to join you at the table someday soon...
there is a little error @24:53. you should have reshuffled the limbo before discarding the blue card. so you wouldn't have gotten the green card. otherwise, a very good and fun playthrough. thank you very much
That's crazy. I can only guess that they are just between reprints. I'll keep my eyes open for you. Hopefully they will send out a new printing soon. It's too good to just disappear!
Just love your videos. This one helped me out . I got {Onirim} for my wife to introduce her to gaming without the computer, ie hands on. She may now play {Conflict Of Heroes} with me." Like that's going to happen"? LOL. If you can keep the videos coming. It's nice to see a woman's perspective games . Thanks
What is it about her voice. it's beautiful. it's embarrassing to admit, but holy hell. I would literally listen to her read the nutrition facts on a box of Cheerios.
matthlowder - I agree; some people have a gift, and can make reading the phone directory interesting - this lady is a class act at it! She speaks nice and slow and in such detail; if you're looking for how to play games - don't bother with anyone else - she puts everyone else in the shade!
This game was made into a computer game, but the card version you are playing looks much more enjoyable store.steampowered.com/app/651470/Onirim__Solitaire_Card_Game/
I have no idea what the hype is all about. This game is as boring as it seems. You waste all of your cards looking for one match, and then when you get a nightmare you waste even more cards. It's lame. There is no strategy; it's all luck.
I love the sound of the cards clacking and sliding around. It's such soothing noise plus your soft spoken voice made this fairly tense game really calming to watch,
David-Michael Cone Thank you! I wanted it to have a dream-like quality. I get lots of hit from people looking for ASMR/relaxation videos on this game so I guess it's working.
you prolly dont give a shit but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account?

@Will Connor instablaster :)
@Gary Ali I really appreciate your reply. I found the site through google and Im in the hacking process atm.
I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
@Gary Ali It did the trick and I now got access to my account again. I'm so happy!
Thanks so much, you really help me out!
Just watched this again - your videos are the best way to remind myself how to play these games! Thank you!
Loved this playthrough, very soothing and entertaining! and I guess I now know I definitely want this game.
Love your playthroughs. New to many games,. Thanks. You help me play.
That was really informative. I picked up the game after seeing it on another channel, and I was interested in it being a Solo game. After seeing the tutorial that the guy made, I didn't understand it. Found your video, and I sat and played it along with you, and seeing you play helped me out a lot. I got 3 quick games in within your video, and I think that I have it down. A few more playthroughs and I will be golden. Thanks.
This is great because it also serves as an ASMR video.
I have just discovered your channel, thanks to Lord of the Tabletop, and I must say: Thank you.
I am greatly enjoying your content, and appreciate the time you take for "us".
After watching this video I got the game myself and loving it! I love your videos, great tutorials.
I love your videos and we need lots more!
Hi, I don't know how many times i saw your vedioes for a long time. onirim is still my favorite game ever 😊 your vedio and onirim cured my soul. thx❤ from S korea
I love they way this game is explained. You have a great "storyteller" type voice
Looks like a fun solo game but sure hope the nightmares don't appear in real dreams -- they are scary and made me jump every time one appeared! Looking forward to seeing you play more games. Nicely done!

This is what I thought as well. I was looking at the comments to find someone who noticed it confirming what I was thinking
I loved your video, like you said in the beginning of the video, it's nice to see a play through of a game before you buy it. You have a great style and nice voice to listen to, thanks for this video.
I saw this game on so many lists for fun solo games but could not find a single play-through. Odd, right? Glad you liked seeing it in action!
I like your story voice! Also I really want to buy and play this game!
thank you for a great video , been working through them. Great pace to them. I'm learning from you...no instructions needed.
I think I'll pick it up! love the solo gameplays. keep it up!
Great job! Just got this in a trade today. Looking forward to playing the basic game and the expansions.
Thanks for all these videos. I have a lot of trouble understanding some instructions and you help clear up the details. Please, please do a solo Fleet: arctic bounty. I am so confused by the instructions.
I bought this game a couple years ago and couldn't make heads nor tails out of the directions thank you so much for making this vid. I think I have a get it now and can give the game a whirl.
I love the art and the feel of this game. Quick and fun... give it a try!
Wonderful. I've had this in my collection for some while but just not got around to learning it. I've read the instructions a few times but not been sure I got them clear. Infact watching you play I would have made a few schoolboy errors. Lovely, perfect video.
Great walk through and you’re a cool teacher.
Thank you for the play...I found it helpful. Now I'm off to go play my own game.
Awesome playthrough. I bought this game over 3 weeks ago, and still didn’t play it because I’ve been too lazy to read the manual, lol.
$6? Wow. That was a deal. $40 and change. But now I’m pumped to play it. Thanks
Sigh...ok, not only have I ordered this first edition game, after watching your video, but I have now pre-ordered the second edition, which has some new artwork, and more expansions. I am learning, through you, that there is a world of solo games that I have never heard about until now. Thanks again for the great videos!
JestAGoof So torn on this! Should I order the new version? Decisions, decisions, decisions.....
From what I have heard, there is some different artwork on the cards. Not all new artwork, but mostly new, plus it will have 7 expansions, compared to the current 3. That is 4 newer expansions, or variations added. I believe it also opens up a 2 player option as well, but I am not sure if that is new or not, having not yet received my first edition yet. If any or all of that interests you, then it may be worth checking out.
It turns out the version I have is an expansion pack, so I need to try and figure out how to play a couple of the cards that you didn't cover.
Love your videos. Have you got plans for any new videos?
I love this game! I've only played the solo version, but as far as I'm concerned it's the ultimate solo card game; all the expansions are fun and easy to grasp, it's extremely well-balanced (even when you're a "pro" you still need to think about what you're doing, and you tend to win with only a few cards to spare), the art is beautiful, and it's surprisingly relaxing. The designer's other game (Urbion) is more of a thoughtful exercise, and I find that "Friday" doesn't quite hold up to repeated play (though it's still fun!)
I'm really looking forward to the special edition coming out this fall...my deck is falling apart after all that shuffling!
Adam Thornton I'm glad for the reprint too. I think this is such a gem of a game for only a deck of cards! I just picked up Urbion but haven't opened it up yet. The art is a big draw for me too. Glad to find another fan out there!

Dreamchaser99 As soon as you pull a nightmare, you must deal with it. So you have 3 cards. Draw 1. If it is a Nightmare, you must immediately cancel it.
Thank you for showing how the game plays. After this video you don't need to read instructions.
And also what happens in this case:
I decide to use my key to get rid of a nightmare.i need to take 2 cards to make it 5 cards now.i draw a nightmare and a normal card.should i put the nightmare card in limbo and draw another card?

keep the videos coming. I LOVED THIS.
Good video other than a few other questions I'll have to read the rules in (draw up to six?)
Great play through.
Thank you! Nice video, nice game and nice voice :)
I was looking for a game to play alone during those long weeks in which I can't meet up with my friends. I ordered it and I hope to receive and play the game tomorrow :)
Luigi Purgato Glad you liked it! I hope you are enjoying the game!
Yes, the game is really nice and well done. I bought the first edition but I think I'll get the second too with graphic changes and new expansions!
I think for the price, this is a fun little game. All the variations that come with it make it a steal in my opinion.
I was actually not considering this game but you make this game look amazing! Just wanted to ask, when exactly would one be allowed and not allowed to discard a nightmare card?
excellent game. how does this compare with the other games in the oniverse?
I just played my first game and finished the game before the last two cards in the deck which were both nightmare cards. Really felt like I bit the bullet on that one.

thanks for posting this. i'm probably gonna get myself a copy now that i saw this ;) seems like fun.
I Just picked up this game and one hypothetical question came to mind that you might be able to help me with. If either at the beginning of the game or after discarding your hand due to a nightmare, while starting to build your hand the first card drawn is a key card and then the next card you draw is a door of the same color, would you be able to keep that door or does it go into the limbo pile?

Question:@35:25 shouldn't you have played or discarded a card before you drew that green door? Not that it really mattered because you would have won anyway, but I am still curious. Thanks.
Jeremy Santiago Yup. You are right on. I should have either played or discarded a card from my hand before drawing that green door. I was just a little too excited! Good catch.
Solo McLaughlin
LOL I know. It was pretty exciting! I had to watch it all the way through to the end! I'm also torn on getting the new second edition.....
if you are playing solo, do you play with less nightmares? cuz I'm playing with 10, and I've lost almost every time, someone please help!
Thomas Mason I'm sure you've found this out by now but you play with all Nightmare cards. No matter Solo or two player
You will lose most of the time in every good solo game. It keeps you coming back to it.
I read the instructions as "the card must be played in such a way that the previous card remains partly visible". It does not say what side of the previous card you have to play it on. Further, if I read the directions word for word it seems to me that I could play it anywhere.

You can only discard a nightmare card when you prophecy and must discard 1 card among the top 5 cards from deck, or after resolving a nightmare when you draw one during you refill your hand.
You put the drawn nightmare card to limbo pile when you draw 5 starting cards at the beginning of the game, draw a new hand after you resolve a nightmare by discarding your hand, and when you discard top 5 cards on the deck to resolve a nightmare (so if the top 5 cards on the deck are consist of 1 nightmare and 4 location cards, you put that nightmare to limbo pile and all location cards to discard pile)

But can you Prophecy once you have reached Phase 2/Fill Your Hand? Seems like the rules don't allow that, as I read them.
Scooped this up on Google Play when it was 99 cents, good buy
Interesting game but I can't find this anywhere in the UK. :(

Cragmyre Hope you like Onirim! I will try and remember to right my cards in future series.....
At 35:23, after the prophecy and with five cards back in your hand, you didn't play a card but drew a sixth card. This is the first time I see the game being played but I assume it was a mistake.
+VULTUSPRIME It was a mistake, but not an important one. She could have just as easily discarded the blue card in her hand for the same result.
Delightful. Thanks a bunch.
Why you discard monster at 23:42? I think you gonna limbo it
Hi. Any chance of you doing a Solo run thru of "Friday"? I love solitaire games and that game intrigues me but I haven't really been able to figure it out. Thanks and I really enjoy your solo plays, you have a great style.
Nooby Vapor I do have Friday lurking on my shelf somewhere. I will get it out and run through it for you soon. Will to have to do a quick brush up of the rules first...
Solo McLaughlin w00t! Thanks so much. Looking forward to it.

You know, only yesterday I was saying (considering I've never played any) how uninterested I was in card games. How wrong I am. You definitely make the vids worth watching, too.
How do you find the doors you shuffled back into the deck? Wouldn't that be tedious?
Yeah it would take a lot of time looking through every card
Did you just answer yourself?
lol
Glad you liked it! I find I enjoy games that are more like a puzzle than direct conflict. Have you tried any co-operative games with your wife? I love playing as a team or in games where you aren't out to destroy each other. My current favorite is Agricola: All Creatures Great and Small. It's a quick and easy 2 player game. Maybe your wife would enjoy it too. Hope you can convince her to join you at the table someday soon...
there is a little error @24:53. you should have reshuffled the limbo before discarding the blue card. so you wouldn't have gotten the green card. otherwise, a very good and fun playthrough. thank you very much
Thanks for this video.
Helped me alot.
can I buy this game from u if u don't play it anymore? I cant find it anywhere for more than 90 dollars.... uhgg,..
That's crazy. I can only guess that they are just between reprints. I'll keep my eyes open for you. Hopefully they will send out a new printing soon. It's too good to just disappear!
yeah :( I have wanted it for a while but I cant get it.
A new version is coming out this summer. :)
I cant find this game to buy anywhere...
It's on Amazon
www.amazon.com/Z-Man-Games-49000ZMG-Onirim-Card/dp/B00KU1343E
It just got a reprint for a 2nd edition that now includes all the expansions. :)
PERFECT!
Madam I must declare, you have quite a lovely voice!
Just love your videos. This one helped me out . I got {Onirim} for my wife to introduce her to gaming without the computer, ie hands on. She may now play {Conflict Of Heroes} with me." Like that's going to happen"? LOL.
If you can keep the videos coming. It's nice to see a woman's perspective games .
Thanks
You are a good teacher (says a teacher)
Seems a bit complicated !
Will watch again.
Is this a one player game?
+Ryan M. It has a 2 player variant but it was designed as a true solo game.
What is it about her voice. it's beautiful. it's embarrassing to admit, but holy hell. I would literally listen to her read the nutrition facts on a box of Cheerios.
matthlowder - I agree; some people have a gift, and can make reading the phone directory interesting - this lady is a class act at it! She speaks nice and slow and in such detail; if you're looking for how to play games - don't bother with anyone else - she puts everyone else in the shade!
Great video, but the way you lay your cards in an uneven way, and you shuffle them facing either way hurts my OCD :)

This game was made into a computer game, but the card version you are playing looks much more enjoyable store.steampowered.com/app/651470/Onirim__Solitaire_Card_Game/
I found myself yelling at the screen: "PLAY THE RED MOON SO YOU CAN START A NEW SERIES OF ANOTHER COLOR!"
Sorry woman's perspective (ON) games
This helped a lot. The instructions that come with the game are awful. You have nice nails, too.
The amount of constant reshuffling is a but annoying...
Apparently the newer edition has some expansions with rule variations that cut down on the shuffling.
I have no idea what the hype is all about. This game is as boring as it seems. You waste all of your cards looking for one match, and then when you get a nightmare you waste even more cards. It's lame. There is no strategy; it's all luck.
Did you even watch the video? There's a lot of strategy.
