    You've mentioned rules regarding Permanent card in a few of your videos. Please note the following: "Permanent cards are set aside at the start of step 1 of setup." (Rules Reference v1.6, page 30). This means that hero's Permanent cards are set aside during the "1. Select Identities. Each player selects one identity, placing their alter-ego side face up." setup step. Keep those MC & how-to-play videos coming! (It'd be fun to see you review some of the original Core Set heroes too.)

    • @thegrouchynerd

      Thanks! Yeah, it took them a while to land on that rule, though, and these videos predate that update. Core set will happen eventually!

    Question: Of the four most recent campaign expansions, which is best? (SM, MG, NE, AoA) I’ve been picking up hero and scenario packs now and then, and I have many of the older campaign expansions, but since the spidey campaign came out I haven’t gotten any of those. Which is the best if I only get one? I’m looking mostly for unique, replayable villains, and I don’t ever play in campaign mode. I would totally watch a video of yours ranking campaign expansions, villains, or heroes. Big fan of the channel, your grumpiness fills me with joy.

    Slowly coming around to Jubilee...didn't like her at first but yeah, understanding more what she wants to do and have in her kit...shes pretty fun! Three Steps Ahead and Waylay are good but they're expensive, and you already want to exhaust Jubilee before she flips to hero...so you miss out on generating a resource....methinks Ready to Rumble would do really well with her

    Just so you know all of the Simply Solo line of games from Button Shy is exclusively from designer Scott Almes. There are other solo games from other designers, but that line is strictly for his games. I really do enjoy this game and I play tested it a good amount. It is my most favorite Simply Solo game so far. At 1:50, the rulebook does indeed you you start with the worry under card 1, but you will soon develop your own strategies when it comes to this step, but it is a good tip for those starting out.
