That looked painful. One general tactical note - particularly for the first half, you'd end a turn by spending dice to draw cards, but not check whether those new cards would let you do anything. In general, there's no harm in waiting to play a card to get more information, but when you could use that card immediately, it starts costing. I noticed you getting terminology mixed up quite a bit. You corrected yourself a lot of the time, but at 11:30, you talk about discarding three cards when you meant dice, and at 42:04, you talked about spending a metal when you meant energy. At 33:26, you forgot to roll Blue's dice for the turn, leaving them stuck with the bad roll from the previous turn. 57:07, you used a Contractor, but replaced it with a Blueprint (which might still be in the Contractor deck if you haven't spotted it since) 1:12:23, when you rolled back Red's play, you forgot to reclaim the energy from the Golem. Now on to the solo video.
You sold me on this one. I don’t understand why play is simultaneous. I can’t think of another, fairly simple game, that does this. Is there some benefit I’m missing?
Just to speed things up. Like, If all players know what’s going on, it can feel pretty boring to watch the other players go through all of their motions. So the idea, I imagine, is just to say: okay, we all know what we’re doing... so let’s do it. When I play with new players I always play most of the game going one-at-a-time. But by the end, we’re pretty good at just running our own little engines.
Wanted to make sure you didn't miss the current expansion KS. Thanks again for the vid. Game is a bunch of fun!
Oh, you know I’m backing this. All in. I love this game so freaking much!!!
5:13 my precioussssss....
PS did you 3D print the first player token yourself? I just got a pop out disc in my copy.
Hmmm ... Decisions decisions! Brain burny goodness. Thanks, Tom!
You’re welcome! It is sooooooooo much fun...... I’ve played it three times again this week....

Thank you! It was a tough one to track... but fewer mistakes than I was expecting! Wahoo! Thanks as always.
