Not flying through games is a good thing. Not fast videos are a good thing. You Sir are doing good things. I have serious doubt about the self-proclaimed speed at which some creators claim to go through games. They are either straight up lying or they just scratch the surface. This especially applies to campaign or heavy narrative games. Great video, as usual.
@@Biodelic I like doing good things. Let’s keep that up. Sometimes I just scratch the surface if I’m casting wide to figure out where to go narrow and deep. But! I try to do some deep stuff.
Creature Comforts' solo is a breeze! You just remove a few cards and it's nearly the same thing. Not really an opponent but the theme of the game is to be cozy, so who cares about competition lol IMPORTANT TIP if you play with more players: Get everyone a set of 4 village dice. The person's who is the early worm rolls theirs. Then everyone sets them own Village dice to the same pips. Except for the turn order in the Owl's nest and the Workshop to get cards (which usually people already know what they want to grab from the start so you can do that first or after dealing with all your other stuff), you can go ahead and do all you need on your turn (and then end by picking cards in turn order if that's still not resolved). No need to wait for each other's turn which is the most common complaint about this game.
@@CG_Hali ya know when I played four player that was the main issue as well was just the length fee game. No complaints but the less waiting the better. Thank you.
You need to play Shadow Kingdoms of Valeria by Stan Kordonskiy and Endless Winter and Nova Roma as well. I hear good things about Resurgence but I have yet to play it. Rurik Dawn of Kiev with Stone & Blade expansion is a top 2 game on my top 10 list. It goes back and forth with Tyrants of the Underdark depending on which one I play most recently, which goes to number 1 then drops down due to playing the other one.
Hi Mike, I'm so glad Ü enjoyed Eila! I won't spoil anything since you haven't finished it tho, but pls do when you've the time, it's totally worth it! What chapter are you on by the way? 👀
How does Expeditions solo compare to original Scythe solo? I have played Expeditions solo about 10 times and kind of feels like I am doing the same puzzle. Looking to maybe try Scythe, even though I heard the solo is a bit much for the movement.
@@danielvanrooyen9602 scythe solo is all about area control, and the AI, does maintain the same priority system, so the variance comes in the random elements of the game and more so, how you play as the AI is reactive to you. That said, you’ll spend your first plays learning how to move the AI. This did true of any area control AI that also explores, so I’d say it’s par for the course in difficulty-for an area control AI.
@@BoardgamesforOne yes, the one you have a card with a list of words you can’t say but you make your partner try to guess the word. I was wondering if that was the game you were referring to in this video.

I will look out for each one of those. Thank you. And the expansion.

@@df15ch13 early chapters still. It’s a quick enough play that I want to at least finish once.
@@BoardgamesforOne oh, nice! Can't wait to hear your thoughts once Ü finish it!
@@df15ch13 appreciate that.
Your 'talking head' videos are the best!
I appreciate that. I worry when I make them but time just limits how much I can add in b roll, so sometimes the talking head is what you get.
Enjoy your videos. ❤
@@TheOmyn I appreciate you. Thanks

@@BoardgamesforOne great thanks for the feedback.
@@danielvanrooyen9602 anytime. Love the interaction
Are you coming to Gen Con? We should meet up and talk content
@@jhowd78 howdy! I would like that. won’t make it this year. But if you’d ever like to talk anyway just hit me up.
Taboo
The game? I haven’t played that in some time ya know. But I remember it being a great party game.

@@rebemacstudio ohhhh! Gotcha. That would be a good guess. It was The Crew.
