Fun play through! I was just coming to mention this, it's something I see a lot of players miss, but glad to see you noticed it. Another rule item, at 58:39 you did not need to spend two time, only one. You placed a focus die that had the time symbol showing onto rest. Rest pips the die UP, not down, so it does NOT cause time to be spent. You only spend the time penalty if a die that is showing the time symbol would need to be pipped down. If you place it on a spot that pips up (like rest) or that doesn't cause a pip change, you do NOT have to spend time. Page 14 of the rulebook (in bold): You only use time if you need to DECREASE your focus and time is already the upward face.
Two years later. Finally got my copy from the 2nd Kickstarter and I‘m hooked. Will definitely watch all your playthroughs (after I visited the respective planets myself). Thanks for doing these, Colin 🙂.
Well I just finished recording planet 5, so spoil alert you will see more! As in 4 more planets! Sophie and Chad forever haha!! Thanks for watching Joel!
This looks so great. But to be honest, watching you play a game is always fun because of your enthusiasm. I suspect I would even enjoy watching you play monopoly 😉.
The look of the pieces and cards got me thinking of Vindication, and after checking bgg I got it confirmed, Orange Nebula! Vindication is a really good game that flew under the radar for many, so I hope this game gets more attention👍🏻 A plus for real minis, which wasn’t the case with Vindication.
FINGERS CROSSED! The game is just such a joy to play and puzzle out, and each planet feels unique and interesting. I love all the different puzzles and the fact that it is a non-combat co-op space themed game is something I can't get enough of! Thanks for watching Erik!
HAHA! Just gotta make sure otherwise I get people mad at me! :) Glad you enjoyed it, the game is one of my new favorites for sure! 20 plays in the last month!
I'm loving these playthroughs! (Not least because I'm finding some of the scenarios pretty difficult - looking forward to seeing how you tackle Yendraal!)
On 36:25 you revealed the Temperamental Bone Cube opportunity card which tells you to resolve the storm trigger...I think that what you should do is to draw another storm card to replace the one on top of the deck and then change the level of the storm token. Instead of that, you resolved the effect of the storm card. I think this was a mistake. If you read the FAQ at the end of the Grakkis booklet it clarifies this somehow. In general, I love all your videos and I seriously believe you do the best playthroughs of cooperative and solo board games... congratulations
If ever I saw the creature who became the ancient bones, I would definitely be petrified! 😱😱 There'd probably be a sudden release of pressurised gas, too! 😂
@@OneStopCoopShop YIKES! Not sure you should be encouraging people to ingest dust and breathe in weird gases Colin! Remember kids, JUST SAY NO! lol I don't know if it because of shipping delays or maybe I don't look in the right places, but Unsettled doesn't seem to be generating the buzz it perhaps deserves. Looks fab on the table, too! Many thanks Colin, that was a blast to watch along with.
The components looked beautiful when I've seen both kickstarters. Your playthroughs convinced me how fun this game actually is. I'm gonna back this second one. 😁 If only I liked painting minis. Those look so awesome.
I agree, I was actually worried about this but so far I've had no problem having a blast on repeat plays and now 3 more planets and modules to add! So much goodness!
In case you, or anyone else didn't get the memo yet and was still interested, Unsettled is back on kickstarter with 5 new planets and some additional gameplay modules!
It's definitely one of those "theme as much as you like" type games. You can play it with some groups and have it feel very abstract: "I need two green, and to be on that card, to place a black cube" or others and have it feel like a sci-fi novel: "you see my drop to my knees, scrabbling in the dirt desperately to pull free two hunks of rocky minerals before climbing the sheer cliffs to the wind swept escarpment, the reflection of 1,000s of glowing sentient fungi reflect in my helmet before I reach down and give the sustaining nutrients to the Mother Root..." The game does supply flavor text, and very evocative illustrations, but I think the inclination of the group really determines the feel theme-wise.
Two things. I gotta be honest. I am waffling on buying this game. But I keep coming back to these videos! I'm really hoping you keep going with all the planets. The video themselves are a lot of fun to watch. The complexity of the game is off putting and it's now at the 1.5 hour mark that I'm just starting to get it. It'll be hard to find someone who will want to play this with me.... but then you make it look like such fun! the other thing. Please tell me you know what yeet means. the " Y three three T" thing was.. odd.
This is Mike, and as the high school teacher in the crew I can help with “yeet”. It means to throw something away with great force. Here are a few example usages: “My mother failed to procure the birthday cake I wanted, so I yeeted the whole thing out the window” “When I found out my man was cheating on me, I said ‘boy bye’ and yeeted him out of my life and out of my house”
For the Robotics Breakthroughs (the ones that were allowing the push and pull of explorers) shouldn’t you have advanced time when crossing a node-edge with a time symbol? Those breakthroughs don’t indicate to ignore node-edge symbols.
@@OneStopCoopShop Yes I just checked the glossary, you’re right! Anything that says “place an explorer” ignores node-edge effects. It’s definitely hard keeping track of all the rules 😅😅
I mean I won with literally 2 time left, so to me that is pretty much perfect haha! Great challenge to puzzle it out but still fun and exciting to play. With that being said, each Task is it's own thing and they are not specifically harder/easier per say just different things happen in each of them. Similar to Robinson Crusoe in that way. You can always make the game harder (and they have adjustments in the rulebook) for starting with lower focus on your focus cubes. But I will say personally this felt like the perfect difficulty to ensure I could get all the tasks done in the allotted time. Does that help?
Ahh that's a huge bummer cause it totally works solo.. the nice thing is nothing is exclusive so once they finish shipping to the US you will be able to get this at their website!
@@OneStopCoopShop - Afraid that shipping + taxes (to UK) make that impossible.... oh well - can't play every game anyway. Just teaches me to trust my gut more.
@@EricWoning Just ask a UK shop if they'll stock it. Of course they'll pass on the taxes, but at least you won't be hit by customs charges at the door...
KNOWN ERROR: When you gather Data you do this at LUNA's node NOT the explorer's node! This is done incorrectly for the entire playthrough!

HA, reverse yeet for pulling someone close 😂
Thought that was awesome! Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for the play through of these!!

Finally got this one to the table - love it! And love your videos also - well done!
Yesssss!!!!
Wow what a fun watch. My copy just arrived today and I can't wait to play it this weekend.
I'm so excited for you!! It's an experience! My wife and I are enjoying this one so much, good luck surviving on Wenora!!
If ever I saw the creature who became the ancient bones, I would definitely be petrified! 😱😱

Haha!! Thanks so much for watching! Glad you are in is worth it. 25 plays and I still don't want to stop!
@@OneStopCoopShop I'm glad to hear it's still fun after that many plays. I'm sure the new modules and new planets will also help extend the fun. 😀
I agree, I was actually worried about this but so far I've had no problem having a blast on repeat plays and now 3 more planets and modules to add! So much goodness!
This is a cool game! I'd love to see more playthroughs.
More is coming! One planet a week!!
Gorgeous game, and very thematic too. I’ll keep an eye out for it. Thanks Colin!

That was a great video.
I'd love to see more of it.
One for each planet is coming each week the next 4 weeks! Thanks so much for watching!!
Looks very good! Missed the KS last year. Guess I’ll keep an eye on their website. Thanks!
Yesss!! Hope you can pick it up!!
@@OneStopCoopShop We shall see. Can't preorder it and just have to wait on their website to restock from what i can tell!
I'm hopeful one they get the stock out to their backers is going to be available on their website!
@@zifnabdr if i understood correctly there will be another kickstarter in early 2022...
Yup!

@@OneStopCoopShop Yay!! Looks like my free time is taken.
When your trust is in the negative and you pick up a distress doesn't that push the trust down into pipping two dice down to?
I believe you have to pip 2 dice down 1 each
Hello, trying to find the errata you mentioned about electrified but unable to find it. Do you have a link I can take a look at?
I don't you can just go the bgg and ask there!
For the Robotics Breakthroughs (the ones that were allowing the push and pull of explorers) shouldn’t you have advanced time when crossing a node-edge with a time symbol? Those breakthroughs don’t indicate to ignore node-edge symbols.
From what I understand only moves cause node edge effects to be activated not push or pulls!
@@OneStopCoopShop Yes I just checked the glossary, you’re right! Anything that says “place an explorer” ignores node-edge effects. It’s definitely hard keeping track of all the rules 😅😅
For sure and I will tell you I missed a few too! So sorry about that but overall the game experience is amazing!! Hope you enjoy it!
Cool 🏂, I love this game.. Will order it also soon
Yeah this is one of my personal favorites!! Thanks for watching!
Where did you find an FAQ stating an explorer could spend 6 orange energy to get the “electrified” property? I couldn’t find anything on BGG :(
On their discord!
I had this game as well, barely completed Wenora Task A😅 great game! Really gave me the Interstellar vibe.
Nice! And totally agree!
@@OneStopCoopShop i look forward to your visit to the next planet😁
I've already recorded up to strannos so one plenary a week!! Let's see how Sophie and Chad can do!! Thanks so much for watching!!
One question ❔ that game doesn't look like really challenged, there is some hard mode ot some, task like b or c which is much harder?
I mean I won with literally 2 time left, so to me that is pretty much perfect haha! Great challenge to puzzle it out but still fun and exciting to play. With that being said, each Task is it's own thing and they are not specifically harder/easier per say just different things happen in each of them. Similar to Robinson Crusoe in that way.

But I will say personally this felt like the perfect difficulty to ensure I could get all the tasks done in the allotted time. Does that help?
@@OneStopCoopShop yes 👍 if the do have some hard mode variations in rulebook is good. Thank you
have you played No Man's Sky (video game)? this planet reminds me a lot of parts of that game
Oh no I haven't but now I need to look it up! Thanks for that!!
I can't wait to get my copy!
It is without a doubt my favorite game this year and favorite game in a LONG time!! Hope you enjoy it!!!
Great playthrough, thank you!! Interestingly, I just bought Forbidden Sky. Which had to inspire this mission of Grakkis. Had to.
Ooo I could see that! Thanks for watching!!
I didn't get this at the time because they said it didn't work solo 😰- should have stuck with my 'I think it will work'....
