That was a superb example of the base game. It's refreshing to see a playthrough of a game by someone who has clearly played it many times and understands a) the rules and b) good tactics. It was also nice to hear the joy of the play coming through in the narration. Thanks Lines!
i'm loving it so far. admittedly, i have only played it once, tonight, when i had to wave the white flag with one minion left on the table and an almost exclusively adversary draw deck, of course, because i chose to ignore important ally powers and, well, most likely also because i got something wrong, who doesn't :D i'm very much looking forward to playing it again (and again and again) and getting the hang of it - your videos will certainly help, thank you, Lines. and, of course, thanks to Morten for designing the game, Vincent for the gorgeous artwork, and Shadi/InPatience for getting it out into the world.
Great play through. Captures the feel of the game perfectly. Goes from "oh I got this" to Erik, Erik, Erik...there's gotta be a way to squeeze out a win somehow. Yesssssss. Great design, loving it so far but I'm nowhere close to the 75% win rate mentioned in the rulebook...closer to 25% but having a blast figuring out the nuances and interactions. Any solo player reading this...buy the game ASAP. Theme is cool, game is tight and quite different from anything I've played so far while still feeling familiar, art and style is magnificent.
Question about your Laura automa for Clank: how do you make the AI harder? Maybe include AI cards 6, 7, and/or 8 in the initial AI draw deck, rather than have them starting in the discard pile? Or is playing against two AIs harder than one?
What an unusual place for this question ;-) Maybe post it on the file page on BGG? Yeah, the solo variant is missing difficulty levels. I've never tried any. Adding 1 or 2 red cards during setup could work. Card 7 should have the least impact, then I'd try card 8. I wouldn't add card 6 though as she'd get too many artifacts then.
Many thanks for this playthrough as it gives me faith, that you can beat this game. So far I had 6 unsuccesful tries. Clever usage of the card effects, I learned a lot. And now some funny stuff... so card "Huldre" you speak out as "Hure", so I could not hear the "L" or "D"... and "Hure" is the german word for whore, bitch.... ... so always when you played this card, me beeing german, I needed to grin.
Hey. Thanks for the message. Happy the playthrough is of help for you. Yeah, I know the issue about „Hul(d)re“. I‘m German, too. 😉 The designer send me audio recordings of how to pronounce the names and there is actually hardly any „d“ to hear. So I tried to be as close to the original pronunciation as possible, knowing about the similarity to the German word „Hure“. Well… I hope this haunts you in your plays hearing my voice each time you play her 😊😉. Have fun!
That was a good playthrough - it's a really tough game but also an amazing one. 🤓

Thank you, for this kind post! I‘ll pass the thanks on to Morten.
Have fun with the game!
Great playthrough :)

Yeah, this playthrough was very exciting and I‘m happy I caught in on camera.
I just sent your praise about the game to Morten 😊😉
rules question: is it possible to use vogter's gambit, if no tree is empty?
That is not possible. You _must_ do _all_ steps of an action and if there's no tree that can be damaged you can't do all steps.
