We played the expansion this weekend with 3 of us. Core Worlds, doubling all the market cards, encounter cards, new orange contacts, new characters and the new objectional objectives was so much fun! Chewy went for a the Galactic Explorer, Cad Bane as the most feared, and Herra as the Smuggler. Being able to cross at the core is a huge change!
Nice!! I agree wholeheartedly! On by the way I loved your Star of Akarios review, your 10 great things. What a great list and presentation, I am keeping my copy though, cause I can't stop myself from wanting to play it :) You have more willpower than I do! Thanks for all that you do!!
Also playing this solo with the expansion content, and I'm really having a good time! Agreed with your comment about the improvements it offers; these fun, *very* thematic moments keep happening (win or lose), almost as if this is now a well tuned, story-generating kit.
Great gameplay. I used this as a good learning step for solo play 29:55 you could actually use landos crew ability to affect the roll. I think that's the point of the crew card and job
Thanks for this great video! Fantastic idea to use the Xia-Credits. I'll do that too. But where did you get the 2000er Coins?!? Neither part of my, base game nor of the expansion.
Love that you are using your Xia coins. I need to get mine out. I have been hooked on this game again since the expansion came out. Love the ambitions that were added and just having the one unique card in the AI deck really gives each AI a personality. Even though it was a long wait it was worth it. Definitely my favorite Star Wars game.
Thanks Colin, another excellent playthrough, will definitely be investing in this expansion have only played the base game once but this is a very interesting expansion
48:50 fail condition is separated with semicolon, meaning you should have NOT lost 4k credit automatically, but only in case you failed test and you already had negative reputation you get to lose 4k, otherwise you only lose reputation.
@@OneStopCoopShop I was cheering for you to win at the end :D Had you only realized during playthrough he should have been defeated you would have time to discard one more card :) Great playthrough though!
1:01:00 you had some very bad fortune with chewbacca showing up like that. Though, the game could have come out different with deduction of credits and assigning of hits as you noted in your game play corrections. cheers.
Great gameplay production and explanations going along and decision-making. 25:40 The expansion cards have the Star Wars cargo icon in the bottom right. 31:25 I always forget the lose $3k if defeated rule. Black K’s Hutt Rep token slider is upside down(!) He’s big so I think he can do whatever he wants lol I was lucky to get the Asmodee FLGS loyalty program 3D silver plastic rep tokens for buying UB from them. If a character has positive rep to start the game, use the colored token for that faction and the plastic for the others just to mix it up. I also had a $15 rewards! I notice you weren’t using the goal tokens. It’d be nice if the reference card had a reminder to check goals I always forget. I’m experimenting with numbered tokens keyed to cargo/jobs/bounties and their locations on the board. Interesting how you pronounce some names like Boba Fett and Lobot. The first time I played UB I looked at the top two market cards and choosed one instead of looking at one then placing it at the bottom of the deck then looking at the other. Like games that start off by giving you an opportunity to pick a bonus card for the game. I was getting greedy lol I use a FFG X-wing starfield playmat which looks very similar. Looks good with any game.
Nice video (as always) that helped clear up a few of the bounty hunter A.I issues I had. However, I would really have loved to see how you handled running both A.Is at the same time? Not seen anyone do that yet.
Thanks man! I think 2 AI is just a lot more work with recording that is why I avoided it! Enough going on as it is with the camera and that actions etc. Thanks for watching!
Been a lurker for this game for the longest time and have seriously considered it since this expansion beefed up the solo mode, in addition to the Core Worlds mechanism overall. Thanks for the great play-through and getting me to seal the deal next payday 😃 PS The AI specific card is really similar to the automa for Monumental with its different faction characteristics
I traded my copy (I think for Legendary Firefly?) as the original solo was lackluster, the decks were too thin, and I prefer win/lose goals over races to points in a solo game. After watching a playthrough of the expansion a few weeks ago, I purchased both. The expansion seems to address just about everything from the base game. For me, the only thing I'd want is a co-op mode but that's unlikely to ever happen. Thanks for the video!
If there was a coop more I would be so happy! Haha!! Glad you repulled the trigger. I actually held on buying this until I heard an expansion is coming, and this expansion does not disappoint! Appreciate you watching Kenny!!
Would love a coop mode, FFG did one for Runebound 3E (Unbreakable Bonds), don't see why they couldn't do one here especially with the game board being so modular.
That is true, but for some reason this game doesn't seem to lend towards co-op. Runebound you have a common enemy, here not so much. So it would be a pretty significant overhaul I feel. We can still have hope though!
I think it would just need some rules to sum the character's dices, and then some tough bounties that would be unfit for a single character, or some missions that would need to be accomplished with the characters on different planets at the same round, or big deliveries that would need more than one ship.
First, wanted to mention that's SPIN - ward, as in the direction the galaxy spins, not SPINE - ward, going toward your spine. :D Also...where did you get the credit coins? Link, please! Otherwise, great playthrough. Cleared up some things for me.
I just spotted the coins from Xia …good call much better than cardboard chits !…slightly off topic and chance of play through of CTG’s 20 Strong ..I am sure you will give it a go it’s awesome solo dice fest …very hard to win too …
Thank you for this playthrough!! This really makes me consider this w/ the expansion for my solo play. Have you played Firefly solo to compare? They are doing the 10th anniversary release of that with all expansions, and I’m a bigger Firefly fan. But if OR gameplay is more robust solo, I might go that way instead. Thanks! 😀
How many times can you rifle through the Market Decks? I'm a bit fuzzy on that process. Can you go through the entire deck until you find something you like? Can you do that with all the market decks? Or is there a limit? Thanks!
Ohh good question! The excel document is still much more unique per character, but unless you make cards for each is a lot more cumbersome to activate. So overall I think I prefer the cards, also the excel does not have the new characters :)
@15:10 I believe this was played incorrectly. the card says he gets any face UP lowest tier token as a crew, but you flipped one that was face down and gave him the crew.
Expansion is already getting harder to find for me, unfortunately. It's one of the games I keep coming back to wanting so I guess that's a sign I should hunt it down. Thanks for your thoughts on this!
When the AI reveal a contact token from a market action they reveal lowest class to highest. At 31:00 the AI will discard a crew to gain a crew, however in your case there were no face up contacts to gain so it didn't matter. At 39:30 even though Krrsantan can't buy any gear because his gear slots are full he would still discard (twice) from the gear deck in case there is something in there he can buy (happens again at 58:00). Some decks have more than just one specific slot so this is important to remember. At 55:00 when you look through the deck for a bounty (and find maz) you need to shuffle the whole deck then reveal a card and then move the patrol. You moved the patrol but it may have been a different card if you did it in the correct order. At 59:25 im actually not sure how that works because you are using Boba Fetts ability to peek at a contact not encounter or reveal it. I'm imagining a multiplayer game would you take it off the board as that would make it easier for someone chasing bounties? I want to say thanks for the gameplay, I love this game! Sounded like you had fun, would love to see more.
Thank you for this!! I have made subtitles notes so others will know. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. This game is pretty freaking great now with the AI!

Yeah I agree!! That was a great add made it feel like a connected universe too instead of a linear one! Thanks for watching!!
@@OneStopCoopShop also I yelled a few times! Lando wants you to reroll them illegal good dice!
Hahahahaha I must've missed that!!
This is one of my favorite games. The expansion gave it everything it needed.
Couldn't agree more!
Nice! I'm also playing this today. This expansion really seems to have improved the game in every single way.
Nice!! I agree wholeheartedly! On by the way I loved your Star of Akarios review, your 10 great things. What a great list and presentation, I am keeping my copy though, cause I can't stop myself from wanting to play it :) You have more willpower than I do! Thanks for all that you do!!

What a nice space mat, would be great for many games like Unsettled as well.
Great playthrough. Many thanks. I just ordered the expansion. 🙂
Hope you enjoy it!
Great gameplay. I used this as a good learning step for solo play 29:55 you could actually use landos crew ability to affect the roll. I think that's the point of the crew card and job
Fellow Xia/Outer Rim fan! I've watched all your play-throughs and I'd love to see a dual AI Outer Rim playthrough. :) Love your content!
Good idea I should do that!! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for this great video! Fantastic idea to use the Xia-Credits. I'll do that too. But where did you get the 2000er Coins?!? Neither part of my, base game nor of the expansion.
I love this game and have been trying to get my hands on this expansion but no luck yet. Thanks for the video!
I hope you can find a copy soon! Thanks for watching!!
Stone Valley games if you are in the US has some copies. Great small business.
Always enjoy your playthroughs. Glad to see the expansion improves the solo from the base game.
Thanks so much for watching! I just wish FFG games didn't need an expansion to make the game worth it, but I guess it is what it is!
Love that you are using your Xia coins. I need to get mine out.

Couldn't agree more, and yes if you have Xia, pull those credits out. Makes the game feel so much better IMO!
@@OneStopCoopShop Where can one buy xia credits?
I think ib the game itself or on the comprehensive website!
great playthrough and very helpful, thanks! I will add your video at BGG because it is so cool!
Thanks Colin, another excellent playthrough, will definitely be investing in this expansion have only played the base game once but this is a very interesting expansion
It adds a ton to the game so a high recommend by me! Thanks for watching Sean as always!
Such a wonderful Expansion!
Couldn't agree more!
I was hoping you would do a playthru on this one! Your videos are amazing and very clear. Keep it up man!
Thanks so much Mark!! It's a great game!!

Yup just watch about 2 seconds later I realize it :)
@@OneStopCoopShop I was cheering for you to win at the end :D Had you only realized during playthrough he should have been defeated you would have time to discard one more card :) Great playthrough though!
It was a close one!! We would have been able to rock the last test too to win the game, but regardless I had a blast! Thanks for watching!!

Thanks for watching!!
That was such a fun playthrough.
Thanks for watching!!
Just got my copy of this a couple of weeks ago. I am looking forward to getting it to the table!
Did you get the expansion? It really makes the game for solo!!
@@OneStopCoopShop Yes, I meant the expansion, not the base game.
Oh good!! It's great I hope you have fun!!

great game, this expansion imho completes the core game and fixes some issues. I played "solo" as Han Solo vs Cad Bane. He is pretty hard.
Couldn't agree more with you! And that combo sounds awesome!

Oh I hear you on that! I hebe not played firefly solo I've thought about it but haven't pulled the trigger!!
Hello there just got the base game and expansion. I didn't quite catch it but can you tell me were you got the credits from? Still able to get?
How many times can you rifle through the Market Decks? I'm a bit fuzzy on that process. Can you go through the entire deck until you find something you like? Can you do that with all the market decks? Or is there a limit? Thanks!
One time per turn you can discard one card to the bottom of a deck!
The expansion changed this a bit. Using the expansion, you can discard up to two cards now from a single deck on your market turn.
Would you recommend for solo only? How would you rate the experience against Xia + Amber solo?
Yes I would recommend for solo only! But if I had the choice between this and xia.. I'd go xia all the way. That has a solo campaign and more variety!
With this expansion may i use the new solo cards to manage a second bot?
Yes you can!!
The AI decks seem much improved from the base game. How do you like it compared to the excel spreadsheet?
Ohh good question! The excel document is still much more unique per character, but unless you make cards for each is a lot more cumbersome to activate. So overall I think I prefer the cards, also the excel does not have the new characters :)
@@OneStopCoopShop makes sense. I imagine the community will add the new characters to the spreadsheet.
I hope so!
How big table i need to play solo comfortably?
Doesn't need to be huge I don't think. Not sure though!
@15:10 I believe this was played incorrectly. the card says he gets any face UP lowest tier token as a crew, but you flipped one that was face down and gave him the crew.
Pretty sure I did that correct. I revealed a token first for the action before. Then there was a token faceup so he could recruit it!
oooo where did you get those coins?
They are from Xia Legends of a Drift System!

Just got my copy of the expansion today, from Boardlandia. My entire family dislikes this game. So, all this new stuff to solo is awesome for me.
Oh bummer! Well hope you enjoy the solo it's great!!
@@OneStopCoopShop, it's alright. Turns out my eldest son's tastes have changed. He can't wait to play with the expansion. Now, I'm really excited.
As a solo game, is this a better experience than Xia?
I would say Xia is better for solo. It has a solo campaign even. But if you like star wars... this is also amazing!
@@OneStopCoopShop might need it just for the sweet coins. Thanks for the playthrough! Minnesota gamers united!
Oh heck yeah! Go Minnesota!
Round 4: You gain 1 rep with rebels but move it at the top
Yup that's right I was at neutral before. Increasing neutral by 1 goes to positive
How does this compare to Xia? I’m so burnt out on Star Wars these days the ip is actually putting me off!
Haha! If I was looking for solo only I'd go Xia all the way. Solo campaign and way more variety!
