Great solo playthrough, great game :) A few rules i think you got wrong, if i am reading the rules corectly: Setup: After the Resistance ship deck have been built from the different power level ships; the whole deck is shuffled. It looked liked you perhaps had stacked them (which is common in other games) as only number 2 kept coming up in the beginning Dock: No dice manipulating before moral bonus has been given (sorry!) The rules seems clear that the expending of a drone to manipulate die values is only for the Deploy phase, and not the phase where you roll and determine morale bonus. Battles: When an attack on the bottom row is failed; all players loose 1 Morale (those who participated, and those who did not). The exception is the Solo Bot, it does not loose Morale/point When an attack suceeds: AI Discard x drones per successful *individual* attack: in your video you only discarded 1 but you had fought of two cards. (X varies depending on your Level of difficulty)
Note to anyone watching: (Jason also says so at the end of the video) the designers have said on the games forums on BGG there is concensus that the bot is harder then they meant to (they used testers that was very good at the game, if I understood the reasoning). Thus, they have suggestions to make the AI a bit more easy to beat; read the FAQ Eratta thread.
Jason, I'd love to hear your feelings on how much you enjoy the game. I initially backed it and then dropped my pledge at the last minute. It seemed to get initial positive buzz, but upon its release, I've heard almost nothing about it--which feels a bit strange.
I enjoyed it well enough. I don’t know that it offers much to folks who have enjoyed other Dice worker placement games. I think the biggest thing going for it is that it packs a good strategic punch for its product size and price point. As we see with Tiny Epic, there’s definitely a market for that.
@@gravematter9513 Tiny Epic doesn’t have a dice worker placement game in their line. So, hard to say. This one has a bit more personal management than, say, TE Dinosaurs, so people might gravitate to that.

From a solo point of view how do you feel it stacks up against the Tiny Epic games? If you had to choose what would it be?
