My wife and I love this game. The only time we were able to play with others so far, we just did the family version of the game. Even that version, which is much simpler, is an excellent polyomino game and a great way to introduce the game to people who don’t have a lot of experience with these types of games. As far as the solo play is concerned, I love it also. I agree that it is a satisfying puzzle, very challenging and very enjoyable. I do not care for most solo versions that just have you trying to beat your own score. So having a true win/loss condition adds to the tension, and then it turns everything upside down since your “sister” is trying to steal the glory off of what you have done on your boat rather than creating her own boat.
I like Isle of Cats. Though I've only played it once. ON A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT NOTE. At one point this weekend during Bing Bong Con, I had the discussion about how something someone says triggers a song in your head where you change parts of the words.... and today's video triggered that so hard. So, with mild changes, I present (and I apologize beforehand for wasting your time) The Untimely Death of Nick. Kcin llik og s'tel. Daed si kcin. Here is the tale, it's spoken word-for-word, It may be abominable, but yes it must be heard. Nauseating at first, You can expect the worst, So listen closely, as the plot unfolds... I might stretch the truth, Maybe a little lie, There was a boy named Nick, He played board games, And he died. Too young for him to cease, Why? We haven't got a clue, It's on the internet, So then it must be true. The untimely death of Nick, (poor nick) How sad it must have been. If you see him anywhere, Remember to console him. I curse the day, I ever met the boy, Only the good die young, They say. The details of his death are vague Unbelievable it seems, As if his passing was only a dream. Catastrophe, calamity, What will we tell his mother now? Cataclysmic, a tragic mishap. I just heard that their channel's breaking up. I hear his CH CH CH, His voice rings in my ears, It sometimes seems he's standing very near. I don't believe in ghosts. I've never seen one, But isn't the taco bell haunting on this channel? The untimely death of Nick, (poor nick) How sad it must have been. If you see him anywhere, Remember to console him. A day that lives in infamy, In horror we behold, His passing, His memory, But the truth must be told.
Aw, it's baby-haired Nick in the intro! How cute.
Missed this series so much! Definitely want to play this. A Feast for Odin got me hooked on laying tiles in games! Thanks gain bros!
Love this game solo! And glad you're getting into solo gaming Mike! Try Quacks solo with the variant on BGG!!
Holy crap, I can solo that?! Thanks for the vid!
Do I remember correctly that you played on stream with you and NIck vs the solo AI? Do you like the puzzle better with one player or two?

Great video Mike! Liking the reboot of this series. You're like the Tom Holland of YCST
Great stuff guys!
Thank you!
@@TheBrothersMurph You guys ever collaborate with other channels?
Does the solo version come with the chill jams?
It freakin’ better. If you get the game I’ll drop a cd in the box for ya
Did you leave that red cat hanging over the edge to mess with us?
Wanted to make sure people were paying attention. YOU WIN!

Here is the tale, it's spoken word-for-word,
It may be abominable, but yes it must be heard.
Nauseating at first,
You can expect the worst,
So listen closely, as the plot unfolds...
I might stretch the truth,
Maybe a little lie,
There was a boy named Nick,
He played board games,
And he died.
Too young for him to cease,
Why? We haven't got a clue,
It's on the internet,
So then it must be true.
The untimely death of Nick,
(poor nick)
How sad it must have been.
If you see him anywhere,
Remember to console him.
I curse the day,
I ever met the boy,
Only the good die young,
They say.
The details of his death are vague
Unbelievable it seems,
As if his passing was only a dream.
Catastrophe, calamity,
What will we tell his mother now?
Cataclysmic, a tragic mishap.
I just heard that their channel's breaking up.
I hear his CH CH CH,
His voice rings in my ears,
It sometimes seems he's standing very near.
I don't believe in ghosts.
I've never seen one,
But isn't the taco bell haunting on this channel?

A day that lives in infamy,
In horror we behold,
His passing,
His memory,
But the truth must be told.
Well that was amazing. Poor nick. Gone before his time

Completely unwatchable - Nick with Mike hair is second rate photoshopped lies. Never made it past the intro.
