    Hi, At 31:01, you are not supposed to take the pieces to complete the other puzzle. Rule book page 7 about finishing touches: " You must perform all your Finishing Touches before any of your puzzles are considered complete. i.e. you cannot complete one puzzle with a Finishing Touch and then use the pieces gained from that to perform additional finishing touches.

    • @flixrinfelix564
      @flixrinfelix564 4 месяца назад

      Your final score should be 15 (since 3 and 5 value puzzle not completed) - 3 (from finishing touches of 4) - 8 (3 and 5 value puzzle not completed) = 4..

Hope it won't be long before I can get back to my table and play the games I love. Hope you are OK. BTW: Because I haven't played Clever for a while I had to check on a number of mistakes I've been making.....It seems a lit. Your tuition is brilliant so thank you,but your tuition in every game you show is always brilliant. Rughr,go back and play Clever but now clear about X and 6 also the plus 1 !

    @k4liopi Год назад

    Thanks for the playthrough! I was under the impression that in solo play, when you are the passive player, you don’t get to pick if two die have the same low value. Instead, I believe the rule book (for Ganz Schon Clever at least) says you roll outside the silver platter and then choose the die that is closest to the platter. Also, I thought you could only use the +1 bonus after all the active dice have been chosen. Although, your way would definitely help with my scores!

      Thank you for your comment! As far as I can see in the video, all the tiles match edges. I couldn't find your reference. Though I didn't do this, I believe you can even put a building piece against the edge of the board, but it would be unable to be completed. Thanks for watching!

      Late reply but for the benefit of anyone else discovering this video looking for a solo mode you are correct on both counts. Couple of snippets from the 2021 rules... 1. Building Phase "The frame counts as grass, and so you may only place tiles with a grass side adjacent to the frame." 2. Forum Phase "On your turn, choose two adjacent cards in the forum and place one of your markers on an empty spot between the cards as shown."

    Sorry 😕 Need help ! I thought that the player chooses from the first column as does the crow then second round from second column and so on for five rounds. So I misread the rules 😢 Please tell me that I can play it "my" way, too or does it not make sense ? Thanks.

    • @allthelonelymeeples
      @allthelonelymeeples Год назад

      You take the first turn of each round, but the crow’s first turn is in column two. This gives the crow the first turn in every column but the first. They are taking something away from you, like a second player. You could play it your way where you take turns depending on the order. I think this way would be a little easier, since you wouldn’t always be competing with the crow for cards…if that makes sense.

    • @apollonia6656

      @allthelonelymeeples 2 года назад

      Thank you very much for saying that! That means a lot to me. So, I believe it is possible to play against more than one A.I. opponent using this fan-made mode. Here's what I would do: Set the A.I. village cards in such a way that you can play on both sides of them (one side for each of the two A.I. players). This way, you'll still have two sets of village cards to shuffle and draw for their turns. Let me think of a way you could play with three A.I. and not be too messy on the table.
