At 4:23, you say at the end of the turn, get discard the tile that's furthest to the right and its corresponding token; this is not correct globally. You discard whatever tile that's furthest to the right and whatever token is furthest to the right, independently of each other (which you do describe at 11:23). Also, would be helpful to say how many tiles to start with in the stacks (even the directions in the box neglect to specify this for solo play, other than to say "setup is the same as for two-player). Since you discarded as many tiles as you placed, and had 3 left over, starting tile set must be 43. Just got my own copy a few hours ago, grateful you and others have posted tutorial videos.
I haven’t played a whole lot of Cascadia, but I was wondering if it would make the game more interesting by taking a page from Luke Laurie and rolling a dice to determine which tile gets tossed. For example: roll a 1-3 and toss the right most tile, roll a 4 or 5 and toss the middle tile, roll a 6 and toss the left most tile. It adds a little more overhead, but also better simulates the unpredictability of a human opponent.
Most definitely. In fact, you could just use a deck of cards. Draw a card, if it is a club remove the first set, hearts second, spade third, diamonds fourth. Of course, that would make the solo challenges more difficult as they were designed with it being more of a puzzle. Great idea, Peter!
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Let me know if you give the solo mode a try. It's quite a fun experience, especially with all the different challenges.

Ahh, sorry I made that error. Glad you found the video helpful regardless. I hope you enjoy the game!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I loved it

Very nice play through, thanks! I’ve only ever played this 2 player, so lots of fun to watch the solo game.

How do you track the campaign?
I wonder, what is the point, discard every round right tile in row and token.
Three reasons I think. To apply pressure to your decisions, and to cycle through the tiles, and to serve as a timer
