Wow! This was in your top 10 solo games video, and I was still unsure how it worked, but seeing you play this has made me rethink... This was a really relaxing playthrough, and I love the puzzly nature of the game. Well done!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, PhoenixSlayer. Some people will find the solo mode undercooked, but I like the simplicity, which just lets me enjoy the puzzle of my turn. Thanks for watching!
It was cool to see how many dice you could generate without buying the yellow or brown trees and without planting very often. I've generally advocated for planting as the optimal way to attain dice (and I still think it's probably optimal), but this video shows definitively that planting is not the only good way to develop and feed a wood engine.
Definitely, Alex. I usually plant quite a bit, but getting those dice bonuses on the wheel, grabbing helpers and contracts that provide dice, then buying and selling as needed -- it is a fun alternative. Thanks for watching!
I really appreciate that. I'm so glad you find my videos entertaining enough to watch all the way through. I hope my channel can continue to entertain and inform you. Thanks so much for watching!
Another fantastic video. Thanks so much! Love your work!! :) Question. At 21:58 the bot "takes" the lumber, so you re-roll the dice. The card looks like the 3 left dice have "X" on them. Should the yellow die been re-rolled as well?
Ha, ha, thanks Steve. I was searching the free music and nothing sounded right but as soon as I heard that song I immediately pictured little forest carpenters hard at work. 🙂 Thanks for watching!
That is cool, Steve. I did a bit of screenwriting in the past and I was tempted to try my hand at TV, but never did. Then life stuff happened and I moved on, but I still have a soft spot for television. Unlike movies, which I now kind of hate after my limited interactions with the industry. Sorry for the life story. 🤪 Thanks again!
Another great teach! I’ve really enjoyed finding your channel. Quick question: What Plano Box did you have on the side holding all the game pieces? Does it fit in the box?
I'm so happy you found the channel! That box is a cheap one I found at the Dollar Tree. Any Plano would do the job. It definitely fits in the box with lots of room to spare. It is a Ticket To Ride size box. Thanks for watching!
Thanks! Those chips are Iron Clays from Roxley Games. I got mine during a Kickstarter campaign, but I believe you can buy from their website or maybe online gaming stores. Thanks for watching!
Hi! If you mean the poker chips, they do not come in the game. They are Iron Clays from Roxley Games. Everything else was from the game. Thanks for watching!
That is a great question, MD. I struggle with questions of replayability -- I think it is one of those board game terms that means something different for each person, sort of like "weight." It is a low interaction game (especially if playing solo) and there is nothing in the variable setup that radically changes the game you are playing. The puzzle changes each time but it is the same type of puzzle. You don't end up seeing a lot of cards each game, so the decks are plenty large. The helpers you get change your strategy a lot and you have to adapt. I'd say replayability is average -- but I find the dice manipulation puzzle to be compelling enough to keep it interesting. Sorry, not a great answer. Thanks for watching!
You have a lot of free actions so you are doing more than one thing on your turn more often than not. A lot of medium to heavy Euro games do this sort of thing, where you have few turns, so they need to be very impactful and you need to take advantage of combos and synergies to maximize your turns. It works well in creating an experience that isn't too long, but still feels like a full gaming meal. Thanks for watching!
Yeah, that's true about other Euros doing the same thing (e.g Nusfjord), but it seems that at least in other euros you have multiple workers to place each round. Maybe because it's just ONE turn each round is why i feel it's so little. Anyhow, we're about to start our first game of this shortly, so let's see how it goes! Wish us luck@@TotallyTabled
I can always rely on you for solid solo playthroughs of euros! Thanks for helping make these games easier to learn!
I love your delivery. And I'm glad to see that the solo version of this game isn't too complicated.
Thanks so much! I really happy to hear you enjoyed the video. Thanks so much for checking it out!
Haven't even finished your video, and I already bought it. Great gameplay video, as always. (and u missed one dice to roll in 21:56 lol).

Your videos are amazing! This one and also the one you made for Revive I watched with interest until the end
I really appreciate that. I'm so glad you find my videos entertaining enough to watch all the way through. I hope my channel can continue to entertain and inform you. Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks for the play-through! I’ve learned so much from your videos and am looking forward to seeing this one!
I'm so happy to hear my videos have been helpful. Thanks for checking out the playthrough!
Thanks for the clear playthrough! Subscribed
Thanks for the sub and kind words! I hope you enjoy the channel.
Another fantastic video. Thanks so much! Love your work!! :)

You are right, Steve. Not sure what happened there. Thanks so much for watching and thanks for your kind words!
Where did you get those poker chips. Are they from the brass deluxe?
Yes, they are the Iron Clays from Roxley Games. You can purchase them seperately and they are fantastic! Thanks for watching!
Love your end music. V. Cool!
Ha, ha, thanks Steve. I was searching the free music and nothing sounded right but as soon as I heard that song I immediately pictured little forest carpenters hard at work. 🙂 Thanks for watching!
@@TotallyTabled well, my main income is television and it’s quite reflective of your channel style. So good choice!

excellent video. Thank you
Thanks for watching, Leroy. I'm happy you enjoyed it.
any chance you remember where you got those poker chips from?
Yep, those are Iron Clays from Roxley Games. They are great! Thanks for watching!
Great Video. Out of curiosity. Where did you purchase that poker chip set?

hi super!!! :) the token come with the game? some other good games in my list :)

I only wish the house boards were a little different for replay
How much variability and replay ability does this have how random is the setup.those card decks don't look very big

Yet another great play through.... But I can't help but think of these videos as "Kermit plays..." 😁
Thanks for watching!
(btw Suchý is pronounced closer to like Su-khee, "ch" is softened "h")
That is really good to know. Thanks, I will say it correctly in the future.
Since you're using poker chips as the currency, does that mean the game does not actually include physical chips to use? Seems a bit strange
The game includes blueberry card tokens in 1, 3 and 5 denominations. Shaggy just loves using his Roxley Iron Clays poker chips!
I really do! 😀
First tool you took was incorrect (chisel instead of file) 🙂
Oops. The entire playthrough is invalid! 😃 Thanks for watching!
@@TotallyTabled ruined! (thanks for the vid)
in a non solo game it's literally just 14 actions for the entire game? Seems like such a small amount of actions.

Good luck cutting that wood! Let us know how it goes.
