Hi from across the detch!! So many intricate rules in this! I did win the last one, but fluffed a couple of rules, so maybe I didn’t! I’m in awe of anyone who makes board games, so, very well done sir, all of your games that I have are all rippers. I have to say Viscounts is my favourite 😜 . Perhaps next time I fly over, we could meet for a sesh 😂😂
Hi Shem, thanks for a fun playthrough. I love solo as well and am always grateful to you and Sam for developing and iterating on these AI opponents with every game. Can’t wait to play this one later this year 😊
Thanks for the playthrough, Shem! Correct me if I'm wrong, but during the AI's turn at around 54:00, I think you gave it an extra 2 advances on the resource track when it was doing the top part of it's card action.
Hi Shem, thanks for the playthrough! Around 44:00 you boosted the biology track twice spending two gold. But you need a dice sum of 10+ for that and your sum was only 9. Or did I miss something?
@ 14:52 you need to draw 2 dice from your bag but you only have 1 die in the bag. You then remove all the dice from your player board and place them in the bag and draw 1 die. According to the rules under Drawing Dice page 7, you do not place the die or dice in the bag from the current action card in play. Has this rule changed or is it currently correct? Thanks.
At the end of the game, when you score AI point I’m not sure to catch why yo give 21 points to AI for Greek scroll, it’s not supposed too be 1 points for every translation scroll? Supposed to be 7 points and no more in my logic.
I have a question: when there is the possibility of retiring a translator, do you only choose one on which you have placed your influence marker or can I choose any other translator ready to retire?
Your translators retire when they reach their gold limit. If you are referring to Caliph and Scroll effects that give you retired translators, those come from the draw piles at the top of the board.

Thanks for the solo playthrough! Much easier for me to watch than to read the rules :)
Always enjoy your solo plays. I got my copy Friday and will give Scholars a go today.
when is the Kiwi to English translator expansion, Shem? :)

Yes, you are correct (I still would have lost, I think). Thanks!

You're right! Perhaps I was planning to use one of those white workers, but forgot to in the moment.
Enjoyed your playthrough with a great game. Any chance of a Vassal Module being made? They play solo's much quicker then TTS modules.

I think you are right.

Yes, 7VP per scroll - and they have 3 Greek Scrolls (7 x 3 = 21).
Hello Shem, at 38:12 you put the gold from the retired translator into your supply, shouldn't that gold go to the main supply?
Yes, should have gone back to the main supply.

Your translators retire when they reach their gold limit. If you are referring to Caliph and Scroll effects that give you retired translators, those come from the draw piles at the top of the board.
