Me too! I *think* my new opponents are all in the same time zone as me, so hopefully the games will go nice and fast.

Haha same here! It's been years since I tried it.

Haha! If there was enough demand, I'd do it. :P

Thank you very much for your kind comment! Happy Christmas and gaming beyond!

That is immensely kind of you, thank you! i hope you have a lovely holiday season. I just got back from travels and am excited to get back to losing at Shotgun King!

Yeah, I'm too scared to really try to king snipe on higher ranks. Whether that's just a skill issue is up for debate. :)

Just aim for the king and start blasting from the other side of the board. Well you do need the range card.

Ooo, nice combo!

Yes it is! I think I've spent even more hours playing it on mobile than I have on Steam.

ooooops

That was poetry

My shame is undying 😅

Oh of course, thank you!

NO WAY wow, thank you for the tips! I had no idea about that mouse wheel!! Congrats on Rank 9 with Yvan, it's encouraging to know greatness is possible with that gun!

Haha, that is as tragic as it is hilarious! Amazingly I haven't had that happen to me yet, but I already can't wait.

Ah, thank you!

It's the unofficial motto of my channel

I sure hope so!

@papaboris8665 it's looks pretty fun, and this channel seems nice, thx for introducing this game to us

@@Foizfawzyfooozyelfaizabuelfawa The pleasure is all mine, glad you enjoyed it!

I might humbly suggest watching my starting guide video from the playlist in the description. :)

Forgetting cards is my specialty 😅

Exactly! The difficulty level of this game is fantastically designed. On the one hand, when I first started playing, I was having such a hard time on Normal that I almost quit. And on the other hand, like you said, once you figure some things out, you can make mistakes on the highest difficulty and still win. Just a masterpiece.

Hahaha, no, I just go with the RUclips default. This is to weed out as many viewers as possible, so that my content will be watched by only my most ardent fans.

Thank you so much for your kind comment! Happy gaming!

Well, I don't think I can say anything that will sway the owner of this unexpected font of hostility, but for anyone who'd like to make up their own mind, here's the complete log of all of my plays of Daybreak: boardgamearena.com/gamestats?player=87559970&opponent_id=0&finished=0&updateStats=1&game_id=1799 I made this video because the strategy consistently works. By the way, I think Daybreak is fantastic. It is a little easy on the default setting, which is totally fine, and the difficulty comes from the addition of challenge cards. The existence of the strategy I explain in this video does not in any way diminish the integrity of the design.

Hey @nagredmoonstriker252 ! After giving it some time, I realized I regretted my reply to your comment. You have a point: from your perspective, how do you know that the strategy actually worked and that I didn't just get lucky? So I decided to do a 10-game challenge, which I hope you (and anyone reading this) take a look at starting with the 4th video of this playlist: ruclips.net/p/PLN735uyn0raV_CRrJyfuAWMH8ZshPULM7 I learned a few things from playing 10 games in rapid succession. One is that, indeed, sometimes things don't go as well as you'd like. Some games I never got a power tag and couldn't do better than 1 energy for 1 card. Some games I got rid of all my needed carbon without using much (or any) E+ for C- cards. The number of options Daybreak throws at you is pretty hefty, and the moment-to-moment decisions can be a lot murkier than I imply in this guide. That said, all 10 games were wins: 7 in 2 rounds, and 3 in 3 rounds. The core of my strategy, as I would frame it now, is this: - Focus on removing carbon. You just have to remove 11 and you win the game. Adding a tree or an ocean is the same as removing a carbon. - Ignore communities in crisis - Ignore the crisis cards - Ignore resilience - Ignore the geothermal cards that manipulate dice and whatnot - You may need to be flexible as to how you remove your carbon. The cards that remove emissions in exchange for increasing your energy needs are the best, but sometimes you have to make do with the once-per-rounders. The ones that make you discard a card are rarely needed. - The starting card that trades a card for dirty energy removal can mostly be ignored, and the starting card that gives resilience can definitely be ignored. These are free spaces to make stacks with. The R&D card and the card-drawing card are scarier to cover up. - You can ignore most global projects, but there are a few notable ones: the wind power one, the solar power one, and the one that lets you cycle bulb cards stand out in my mind. Sometimes you can use the "when a player removes a dirty energy, they can remove as many as they want" to blow out the game. - Another option for blowing out the game is the bulb card that lets you discard two cards to reduce your emissions by the number of bulbs in the stack. - Communities in crisis are kind of like health in a trading card game: they're a resource. You don't HAVE to meet your energy needs. If failing your energy needs lets you remove enough carbon to win, do it.

@@papaboris8665 Thank you for your kind response. I was also blowing off a bit of steam, which increased my carbon emissions. However, I still have difficulty with these parts of your strategy: - Ignore communities in crisis - Ignore the crisis cards - Ignore resilience This game was heavily playtested; can you really ignore all of these things and still consistently win? Don't you think that the testers would have spotted that so many of the game's "bad things" are so easily avoided? If I ignore resilience and crisis cards, my C's in C rise too quickly to ameliorate, as first I draw fewer cards each turn, then I lose. If your crisis cards that you're ignoring aren't pushing up your C's in C count to such high levels, it's because... you got lucky and didn't draw enough of those "increase your C's in C" crisis cards. Sorry, but it's an "inconvenient truth" - if your strategy works, the playtesters didn't do their job correctly. Your "ignore" strategy is too heavily based on getting the right cards. If you don't, you lose. But no hard feelings; I do appreciate your efforts.

That may very well be the right way to play it. After all, if I have grenades left over at the end of a level, then clearly I could have had an easier time in the level if I'd used them at some point! More than likely, I just forget I have them. :P

I've been watching Kripp's videos and really enjoying them! Not sure I have the time to dedicate to such a complex game, but I'm definitely going to give it a whirl on release.

Matt, i am so touched! Thank you! Do you play in the Through the Ages app? No pressure, but I just sent you a Discord if so.

I haven't, but it's tempting! I'll let you know if I decide to pick it up.

@@MatthewBouyack Awesome, happy gaming!

You sure did! I use it all the time now and I think it's really making a difference on these higher ranks.

​@@papaboris8665it kinda just felt bad cause you said you realized it, instead of saying a commenter told you about it, it's possible you figured it out just before I told you, but what are the chances?

@@memesalldayjack3267 Sorry about that!

That's correct! They can't move diagonally, but they do attack diagonally.

@papaboris8665 oh, i didn't know

Thanksgiving was lovely, but I was out of town and had to delay this series. It's good to be back! The rest of the games should be shorter, since they're fewer players. Good luck!

@@papaboris8665 Not being critical at all! Glad you had a lovely Thanksgiving.

@@EllieP.-hi5fx Oh yeah, no criticism taken! Just excited to be continuing on with these. :)

Oh my goodness! I'm so glad I could help erase this pain from your life. :) I hope you're able to enjoy the game more now!

I somehow managed to make it to the 3rd mission that way then there's like 5-8 mobs vs my 3 lol

@@allenja0 Well, that's Mechanicus for you. :)
