*Important: at the end of each round, cards and tokens move exactly one space to the right. I was playing that part of the game incorrectly. So sorry about that!* 😓 Also, I forgot to mention it in the video but Happy Mother's Day! 💐 Have you played Verdant before? What did you think? How would you compare it to Calico and/or Cascadia if you've played either of those games? ☺
I know that the rules are not clear on that, but it seems that when sliding the cards and the tokens to the right you need to keep the gaps, this is how it was implemented in the online demo version.
Hey there, Dominika! I'm so glad you enjoy this one, too! It's such a relaxing and peaceful game! 🪴 And I agree-the rules definitely aren't clear on how the sliding should be resolved! But you know what... I think you might be right about that! I'm not positive and I can't find a rules clarification on BGG but re-reading the rules now I could see how it could mean to maintain the arrangement (with gaps) as you slide the cards/tokens to the right. And I did think it was weird that the card+item pairs would change as I slid some tokens an extra space, for example! Thank you for pointing that out!
Check the online implementation, I can’t put the link here as the YT doesn’t like it, just search for Verdant online. I own Cascadia, Calico and Verdant and for now Verdant is my favorite followed very closely by Cascadia and then by Calico which I find too frustrating
I didn't realize there was an online implementation like that! (I wasn't sure what you meant by the online demo version earlier!) That's amazing! And I played two turns just to check if I was wrong and you're absolutely right-the cards and tokens all slide exactly one space! I'll make a note of that somewhere so hopefully people watching the video see that! Thank you, Dominika! ☺
Thank you so much for your kind comment! I really appreciate your encouragement! ☺️ And as I always say, if there's any charity you have in mind, let me know!
@@BoardGameDave I haven't seen all of your videos yet, so I don't know if you have already given to them, but the Rainforest Alliance is a very good organization who deserves all the help they can get ❤️
@@CasperSpanggaard Hey, Casper! I just wanted to say thank you for the charity recommendation-I actually just used the Rainforest Alliance for today's Solo Play Sunday of Mycelia! 🍄 Gave you a little shoutout, too! Thank you again and I appreciate your support! ☺
Thank you so much, Terry! ☺️ It's not a bad table at all, you're right! Although I am really looking forward to getting a board game table as soon as Hannah and I find a house! 🏡 But I'll make sure the playthroughs are always sunny and cozy for you! ☀️
It is so beautiful! I just showed the game to my mom yesterday and she thought the same thing! ☺️ I love that each card tells you facts about the specific plant! And it's a perfect game for Hannah as a huge plant lover! 🪴
Super cute game! I love games that teach you things (like plant names). I’m also very impressed with your quick math skills 😂 Hey St Jude’s sounds like a great charity, on ya Board Game Mum!
Thanks for the comment, Emma! I love games that teach you things, too! I'm realizing that more and more these days! ☺️ And the plant cards even tell you a little bit about each plant and the rulebook tells you where they're all from! 🪴 St. Jude's is a pretty great hospital/organization! Seems like there's no shortage of fantastic causes and charities to donate to! ☺️
Trailblazers by Nick Murray of Bitewing Games plays 1-8 players and has multiple ways to play You are trying to make up to 3 types of looping paths starting and ending in either a hiking camp, a kayak camp and/or a biking camp. This game is a drafting game, where each round you are dealt 8 cards and on your turn you will draft 2 and pass your hand. There are goal cards for you to achieve. There are meeple expansions that you may add to the game.
I'm not sure I've ever heard of Trailblazers! I do really enjoy a card drafting mechanism, though! Sounds like a game I'd be into-I'll add it to my want-to-play list now! Thank you for the recommendation! ☺️
Great question! I had to look on the BGG forums but this is what I found: "The only difference is the extra deck of promo cards." So the retail version should include the campaign mode, yes! 🪴
Really? I’m so glad you’re here, then! ☺️ There are so many extraordinary games being released every year for any and all types of gamers! What did you think of this one? 🪴

Hello Dave, yes I played it solo and it became one of my fav, I also started the campaign. Glad to see you solo this one. Dominika

I love your concept of sending your end game score to chatity ❤️
Thanks for all the great videos, and keep them coming 😃👍🏻

Good game Dave. I actually like very much your small table. It creates an awesome homie atmosphere. Very warm and full of light. 😊

This is such a beautiful game, love all the plant descriptions 👌

Ty for sharing!
Thank you for checking out the playthrough! ☺️
I’ve been playing solo play online and enjoy it. There are no scenarios but it’s still fun!
I just found out about the online solo implementation! That's so awesome! 🪴
23:10 I would use thumb to take orange fishbowl and orang room and place both above dark blue flagged plant on bottom row to the left
That would have been a smart move! 🐠

does the base game (not kickstarter) have the campaign mode?

19:26 this would have been a good time to take light blue room to the right and dark blue dog
Which you did do. Nice!
Haha, thanks! ☺️
The only board game I know is ladder and snake 😊

You should have been using the thumbs to get larger pots
Yeah, I really did not do well with getting those high-point pots this game! 😬
A really good actual charity is Gays against groomers
Is the St. Jude Children's Hospital not an "actual charity"? 🤔
