Wow! This looks great for me. I love having lots of options to manipulate dice, and I love the tension of "Do I go for the action now or wait till it gets more valuable?" Major bonus points for an appealing, unique theme!
I really like this game play. I grew up playing Harvest Moon, for the PlayStation. Right now I’m playing Everdale on my phone which it’s a farming game but now I can play another board game with this style of gaming which looks so refreshing. Thanks for the great runthrough
I would like to voice my personal disappointment for the fewer 2 player runthroughts Rahdo. I have watched your videos for years and I found they were a great source for 2 player PoV because you mostly play with your wife and it was how you presented the videos, as 2 players. But lately many have been done as solo. While I understand that solo is easier for you prepare and film, it showcases the game from a limited perspective and potentially hides possible player interactions. I really appreciate your contribution Rahdo, and if this feedback is helpful I am glad, if not then ignore me.
hi there. no worries, i appreciate constructive criticism (which is often in short supply on the internet as you know!) :) so i only choose to film solo when (in my experience having played the game) nothing about the multiplayer experience is lost in the runthrough, and that's definitely the case with woodcraft. You still make the same decisions, you still are faced with the same compromises due to opponent actions, etc. So instead of me demoing two players and getting the runthrough of maybe the first couple of rounds, i can demo solo and play twice as many round and demonstrate deeper into the game in the same timeframe, without sacrificing on showing the experience you'll get playing as a 2p game. plus, fans of solo (who are legion) also get service, so it's win win win! for games where that's not the case in solo, i still film 2p. for instance, the solo mode in terracotta army was significantly different from the multiplayer, so i filmed it 2p, because solo would compromise the audience's ability to understand what the 2p player experience is like. same for isle of trains: all aboard anyway, my apologies that you find this unsatisfying. i hope you can take some solace in the fact that i'm not making this decision blithely, but evaluating every game specifically to ensure that (again, in my opinion having experienced the gameplay directly) that you're still getting the full feel (and as a bonus, seeing more rounds of gameplay than you otherwise would) :)

Thanks Richard for this excellent channel 👏
When you hired a worker at 21:13 you were supposed to move your acorn income marker up one space.
Oh, you caught the error at 24:27 👍🏽
I love the solo fun through
This looks like a lot of fun!! :)
Looks really good!!

@@rahdo Thank you Rahdo, I understand you completely. Again I am a huge fan and really appreciate what you do!
@@rahdo I was wondering about player interaction when watching the video, and this comment actually answered my questions about that :D
