How cool it is to see you play it! Recently got the game, lost my first 2 solo attemps, and by a lot! I think I learned a lot from you, but still that was a close one! This AI is strong, and in my opinion it's a good thing. I can't wait to see how many games it takes me to beat it! This is definitely a game where I will learn and improve a lot the more I play it! Thank you for another amazing game!
Shem, I just got my copy and I can't tell you what a delight it is to be able to watch the designer himself give me an overview instead of the usual smarmy paid influencer! Thanks so much not just for the work you put into your designs, but for taking the time to personally introduce us with playthroughs like this. -Tom, longtime fan and enthusiastic viewer!
Thanks for this! It's super helpful! Beautiful game, by the way. I LOVE the setting/theme/aesthetic (not enough of this type in board games) and the mechanics are so fun, thinky, and integrated. Cheers!
Just started a solo game last night, while also trying to learn how to play in general. Had to come here and make sure I was doing thigs right :-) so far so good!
Amazing ending! Great video Shem, this really helped me understand my solo play, thank you. Although I don't understand how the AI, for this particular game, knows exactly what I'm going to do next 🤬. Other than that, love the game, can't put it away.
I could have used that pigeon to draw 3 cards from the deck, rather than take a faceup water card. That it the only way it could have been used. It can't be used for the in-built journal action of my player board, because it's not tied to that action space - it's tied to the harbour it is placed below.

Thank you for highlighting solo!
Thanks for this, was great to see the solo mode played. Close game ☺
Thanks for the solo runthrough, Shem! Hope you do some more with the other AI's as well.

Thanks Dee!
Just played a solo game last night! Lots of fun, and this video defenitly helped clear out some of the questions I had :)
Glad you enjoyed it!

Nice score, great game.
Man, this solo is really OP
I've got it sussed. How you guys make such great games. you start with provisions and build a game from there?
Exactly right. Some people think it's theme first or mechanisms first. But in fact, it's always provisions first.
@@garphillgames HA! knew it. you guys are alright...... for Kiwis!
Aussie here, great game guys, wish i could understand what Shem was saying......... :P
Half the time I don't know what I'm saying either.
at 24min when you put the dice and got a boat/pigeon duo ... is the pigeon always available through your turns or its lost if you dont use it ?
could you use that pigeon to use the caravan built in action for a journal action ?
I could have used that pigeon to draw 3 cards from the deck, rather than take a faceup water card. That it the only way it could have been used. It can't be used for the in-built journal action of my player board, because it's not tied to that action space - it's tied to the harbour it is placed below.
another question ... if automa would gain 3 coins, do we move its marker 3 spots or only one ?
It would move 3 spaces (1 per resource).
Did you forget to take your last dice?
Yes, it looks like I did forget!
