2:17 Anna and “Voytek”. It’s a common Polish name. Also, thanks for teaching the automa version brother. I am so excited to play and you helped me wrap my head around some of the rules.
This was a really clear, easy to follow video. Others I've given up on had the boards bit visible properly but you've set it out really well. Thank you.
Just getting started with Scythe (yeah, I'm late to the party, I know). Found this video to be most helpful! I like the actual selection of valid hexes with those yellow cubes! I will adopt this for my plays, especially when playing Barrage solo. The selection rules still have me confused sometimes.
I’m even later, just bought it the other day to play with my adult kids: it’s a Christmas tradition! I’ve not played the board game yet, just opened it and had a nosey. I’ve played the digital version 10 times, won 1, came very close twice, but ultimately lost 9! However, I now have a better idea of the mechanisms so when my kids come at Christmas I’ll kick their arses!
Great playthrough! I realized I played the automa wrong when I crushed it easily (final score is 88 to 18). You explained it really well! I have to try the correct rules now. Thanks for making this video!
At one point, at about 1:01:00, you had taken the factory but dropped off a worker before moving in. You should be able to keep the worker with you as you invade the enemy territory, and thus wouldn't need another movement to move the worker in afterwards.
At 57:57 the Automa should have moved to the Factory, since the closest space to the Factory is the Factory itself (but it was a minimal mistake, no worries). Great game and fantastic video!
First off thank you for this Video, I struggle to learn rules by reading and this did a WONDERFUL job of explaining the rules and showing how they are in action. You also have a delightfully soothing voice. I look forward to playing this myself when I get home today. Second, where did you get those poker chips? They are delightful!
I am new to the game and have been playing that the Trade top row action you actually trade resources in for another. No wonder I cannot even beat easy LOL!
Great playthrough, and it actually makes me not miss the copy of Scythe I owned for a while. This Automa is way too much to handle for me. And too fiddly multiplayer as well. But still, very much enjoyed your playthrough :):)
I think you forgot about camraderi. You don’t loose pop when bumping a worker. So you were well into the 3rd tier. Not sure you got all the way to 18 Pop though.
Certainly the clearest way to understand how the automa works. Thanks a lot for your work
You made this game so much easier to understand :D!!! Thank you very much!!!
Thanks Simoun, hope you enjoy the game!

Great job demonstrating how the automa system works. Inspires me to get this to the table.

Thanks Markus, glad I could help! All credit to Ricky Royal for the cubes idea 🙂

This is a great video. I really enjoyed it. You explain things well and it was great to see (hear) your enthusiasm. Well done on beating the Automa.
This really is one of the most beautiful and elegant games ever made!
Fantastic playthrough, thank you!
savior! thanks a lot sir for this video. This video really helps newbies like me

Thanks Brian! Hope you keep crushing automa though 😀

Very helpful playthrough! I get confused about the automa movement, and I feel much clearer now that I’ve seen you go through it. Well played!
Thanks Janna, glad I could help 🙂
I plan to watch this and your fenris campaign. I am so looking forward to it. When summer is over.
At 57:57 the Automa should have moved to the Factory, since the closest space to the Factory is the Factory itself (but it was a minimal mistake, no worries).
Great game and fantastic video!
Thanks!
Thanks for this Tom, I have always been interested in this game but worried about purchasing but now definitely on wish list
This was another great playthrough! Explained the automa rules very well.

Thanks Jack, hope you enjoyed your game of it! The poker chips are hand stickered 😀 I need to remember to get them out more!
havent played scythe yet. great playthrough. i may get it one day. i have anachrony and gaia project scratching that itch for now

Thank you for such a clear explanation! ❤
Thanks Daniel, hope it helped!
At 1:00:35 you wouldnt lose popularity because you had the Camaraderie ability unlocked already :)
Thanks!

No because camaraderie is when there is combat, workers don’t combat
you should have removed a factory card when the automa made it to the factory first?
No because the automa came with the mech, not the character
1:10:57 wouldn’t automa gain a star for having 4 mechs and end the game?
Are Marty Bucks available to purchase?
