Waypoints Playthrough & Play Along | Map 2 | Bits & Biology

Welcome to Bits & Biology, a channel about board games from the perspective of a biologist gamer. In this video I play a solo game of the roll & write game Waypoints using Map 2, Burning Rock Canyon. I encourage you to play along with us!
Waypoints won the 2023 Golden Geek Award for Best Print & Play game (well deserved in my opinion!). If you want to play along but don’t yet have the game, it can be purchased and downloaded from the Postmark Games website ( www.postmarkgames.com/ ) for about $5 U.S., which includes the three maps that have already been released, plus any future content (I believe they have five maps planned). It’s a great deal for a great game! They even have low-ink versions of the maps if you prefer not to print in color.
Timestamps can be found below in case you want to skip around.

First time playing Map 2, got a 126! Thanks for posting playalong videos, please post more!

Well done! I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I will definitely record more playalongs. 😁

I played along with you (first time playing Map 2) and got 159 points! There's no way I'll ever get that many again, lol! Thanks for the video, it was very clear :D

I have the 3 maps printed out. I just need to laminate them and find my wet erase pen 🙂

[@bitsandbiology]

Awesome! Dry erase works too, but I I sometimes smudge it on the maps, which is why I switched to wet erase. 🙂
