Thanks so much for making this particular video, Tom. I've watched all your other Troyes videos but we've just gotten about 3" of snow here in Boston and I felt like trying this new solo mode that Torvi designed. I had printed it out some months ago but hadn't played it. I was so pleased to find you had made this just recently!
Thanks for the video. Both your how to play and this have been very helpful. I would add, however, I think I'll keep playing it "wrong". The rule that Le Roy keeps taking turns even after his dice are gone makes it go from hard to near impossible to get any positive points. But maybe I'll get good enough to try it in the future.
I don’t think it’s compatible with the official solo mode but I’m sure enterprising users on BGG have come up with something in the variants section - you’ve got me thinking about Troyes again, I might have to do another playthrough 😀
This is a fantastic tutorial. I love the explain as you go approach. I tried explaining all the rules upfront. It did not go well haha.
Brilliant playthrough! I've been playing this quite a bit on Board Game Arena, even though I've still to play my hard copy!
Thank you for this awesome video
Hey, Tom! Have you ever tried the Bishop variant?
this looks really good

No problem, hope you enjoy playing it 🙂
Thumbs-up for solo vids :)
Thanks for this great tutorial! Please, where did you get the scoring card?
I think I printed it from the files section of the Troyes BGG page :)
Is that custom player board printed on A4 format, or what is its size? Looks gorgeous.
Yeah it’s just A4 card, should be in the files section of BoardGameGeek 🙂

It was a bit of a surprise for me to, I barely won before :D
Where do you find this solo mode? I am interested in this game but only play solo. Does it come in the box?
Having already ordered the ladies of Troyes (£13, how could I not?), you have me worried ..is the expansion really not compatible with solo? 😱

Where did you get the solo sideboard 🤔
Just the solo rules from BGG printed onto card, before the game came with them :)
@@slickerdrips love the videos! Keep it up!
