    23 minutes, you could have played encompassing ward and flash floods preventing the blight in the wetlands.
    Double placed presence top and bottom track. Gaining 2 energy and 4 card plays. This would have given you the income to reclaim Flash, and play all 4 starting cards the following round while saving the blight.
    4 cards is top priority for River but 2 energy also makes River kinda rich which new novice players wouldn’t know.
    Great video, love the thematic boards!

      Thanks! Thematic boards are really nice - it really feels more thematic and I love how they can disrupt the normal patterns you fall into with a spirit.
      I generally prefer taking the blight and getting the maximal power up for my spirit (which for River is plays all the way imo), but that's a style choice rather than anything necessary at this difficulty level. I may make some more of these thematic beginner friendly videos - though I'm not sure how many newer players will watch them XD

      I’m all about eating blight to get ahead, (turning the tides often hinges on it) but in a situation where you’re pushing to 4 plays only regardless. Do you think it’s long term better to gain a minor and eat a blight and push to 4 plays. Or empty your tracks of two presence, get to 4 plays and have extra income going forward.
      Sorry if I’ve derailed into higher level discussion, I play a lot of harder games, and I value your thoughts.
      I’d like to get on for a live stream sometime and help “name that bodan”.

      If you’re going to eat blight it still feels like it’s advantageous to get extra presence on the board, since two presence was very manageable. Going too track for one may be opportunistic to that situation.

      It would be lovely to see you when I stream :)
      I think I misunderstood your suggestion - as I understand it to win with River at higher (and super high) difficulties it is all about pushing presence placement at all costs in the early game, but I've not really played River at 11+ difficulty / England 5+ much. Don't worry about derailing :) It's all part of the fun! With these videos Principles/Zero/Overexplain I'm generally trying to help newer players grasp some basic ideas rather than pushing how to beat dual adversaries :D But it's good that people can find these ideas in the comments, so thank you for your thoughtful comments!

    23:33 not a massive deal at all considering you plan on smashing the upper desert but the explorer in the middle one was going to die in the ravage anyway. No need to push to prevent build. I'd probably do the exact same thing to play around the events I'm not using hah

      Haha yeah, looks like that's what I did XD I don't play without events much these days!

    I would have taken a new power and only reclaimed after I had a 4 power turn. Not that it would have made a huge difference in this case. 13:15

      In this run i think it's unnecessary yoloing 18:18 :) You can get the 4th play the turn after and keep doing useful things on the board.
