Thanks to your video, I realised that polish 2nd edition has a small misprint in the rulebook when it comes to getting rewards for closing the last room in the group :) Thanks for making good content for us rules lawyers :)
Excellent material. Very helpful thank you. I will take this opportunity to ask about one problem that bothers me about solo mode: (regarding the rules of the game, the solution of which I cannot find clearly on the bgg forum): If the AI has a card with two tables (the first one is always a suit, the second one gives the most VPs) then: IIf there is no first card on the market (in a specific suit), does the Automa draw another card (???), or does it only fulfill the second condition (i.e. draws only one card that gives max VP) ???
At 17:00, I don't understand why you were able to reroll several times in a row. The rulebook says: "When you pass, you must wait until every other player has either passed or taken two actions (and, thus, covered both numbers on their Turn Order tile)". Would you please explain why you did that? Thank you.
The player order for the round was as follows: Blue-Purple-Yellow-Yellow-Purple-Blue. When Blue was on her second turn, the other turn players had already taken both their turns, so there was no need for Blue to wait until other players had a chance to finish taking their actions; they were already done. Thus, what you saw going on at that part of the video (but left unsaid) was this: Blue passes, check to see if any other player has an action remaining (No), Blue decides whether to take an action or pass, Blue passes, check to see if any other player has an action remaining (No), etc. It was only by virtue of Blue passing on the very last turn of the round that it looked like this. Let's say Blue AND Purple had passed on their second turn. Then it would have looked like this: Purple passes Blue Passes Determine which player has lowest number still showing on Turn Order tile (Purple 5, Blue 6) Purple removes 1 die and rerolls remaining dice Purple either passes or plays Blue either passes or or plays In the second scenario, it would play out a lot different than in my video, because there are two players involved (and thus one player can't simply keep rerolling).
19:40 - I understand that you can't lose points from the objective card (policy) for getting a room from the emperor tile after the last round of the game. But.. What if I get the "B" tile (after round 5), which also rewards 1 room (level 1 or 2)??? I assume that when my turn is played (in round 6), I can allocate VPs from the goal (policy) card and possibly VPs for closing a group of rooms ???
If I understand you correctly, I think you're asking if Blue could have legally claimed that 2nd space on the Policy card during their turn in Round 6 (as opposed to illegally at the end of Round 5). That is fine. As soon as Blue gets another turn, they can and should claim those points. If someone earlier in turn order gets there first, though, there's nothing they can do about it.
If I have a blue character with all items on it, but no open room available, but his reward gives a room, can I use his own reward to open a room and then put him into it?
Sorry for the late response. Here is a rules clarification from the designer that answers your question: "You take the guest reward immediately when you fulfill the guest's order. Then you move the guest to the room and turn the room tile (taking bonus if complete)." So the move you propose is legal. (The way he phrased that has confused some people, because he makes it sound like you have to take the reward as soon as you fulfill their order, even if you're not moving them into a room. But I'm pretty sure he was taking as a starting point that the 'Move a guest into a room' action was being taken'.)
Just stumbled upon your channel. Keep these videos up as they are very helpful when new or returning to a game.

I have to admit, I've never even looked at solo mode. Your guess would be just as good as mine on this one.

@@ruleschallenge5573 That's exactly what I meant. Sorry for my English (Google translate). Thank you ;-)
