You took mints when "Rachel" went to the Wholesaler (as the owner should) but in the middle of the turn - a couple of times. This should not happen until the upkeep phase. It's a minor error but it did give you extra mints to spend during your turn instead of them not being available until the next round.
Nicely done! I always enjoy seeing people explain as they go when they are working against these solo AI's One thing I do want to note, I don't think it would have altered the outcome of the game, but the Wholesaler/Lotto owner perks take place during Upkeep, not when the location is used.
Thanks for the video! I just got this game and played a solo game against AI Justin, but you picked up a rule that I hadn't realised - that the AI won't take the build action if it has no plans (3:50). In my game I kept forcing Justin to waste two mints on a build action for nothing, but now I realise that's not how it's supposed to work. Thank you!
Thanks for the video. I'm really liking Mint Works. A few things I noticed: - Rules state: AI "...will always place in the first availabled Mint Placement Space in the Location line that it can use, starting with the Producer", not from where she left off. - It is hard to track which workers are yours vs hers, but I think you did not remove her worker from the game for the Leadership Councile @5:20
I think you made a mistake at 7:21 because I don't think Rachel could've been able to take the Vault plan because she should've spent a mint to be placed on the Supplier card. Right?
@@BeyondSolitaire I found this video really useful too, Liz! I really wanted to get this game when I first got into the hobby about 3 years ago, but it didn’t seem to be available anywhere here in the UK and I assumed it was out of print. Then I happened by my FLGS after work today and saw it sitting on the shelf, so jumped on it! Thanks for the playthrough, I’m really looking forward to playing this one myself in the coming days!
On solo mode, the AI rules states that “when a plan is taken from the supplier and not placed by another effect, immediately replace it with one from the Plan Deck

Justin Blaske Thanks! And nice work on the game, it’s a fun one.
It’s also good for you to use the wholesaler as it effectively gives you 3 mints

Lawrence L7337 yea, it should start back at the first available action each time, right?
Thanks for the very helpful playthrough! I appreciate the explanations of your playing logic. Now I'm off to try my first solo
I hope you had fun!

The only game I've succesfully played solo on an airline tray. Can't wait for Mint Delivery!
I'm definitely impressed by how much gameplay these little games offer!
Damn. This honestly makes me more excited for mine to arrive
Oh man this is from the early days of my channel! Glad to see it's still helpful. :)

Waiting for Mint delivery solo play 😊
You cannot refill the plan supply in the development phase
On solo mode, the AI rules states that “when a plan is taken from the supplier and not placed by another effect, immediately replace it with one from the Plan Deck
You only refill plans during the up keep phase
