Another great one, so glad that I found this channel. It's about time somebody did something like this. Great play through the game looks awesome.
Thanks for this great video. Parts of the instructions were unclear to me but this video brought it together!
Another great demo. Thanks for such a coherent and concise tutorial
Awesome explanation! Thank you.
I got Fleet, and love it after watching your video!
Thanks Liz! Very very helpful!
This was delivered to me today!
Great introduction to the game! However, there is an error at 13:49. You could actually use the combo orange + 5 one more time, since you technically use the other "5-dice" to match with the same orange. This is also an example in the rule book on page 9 (example 2). Other than that, a clear description of the rules in a nice speed. And thank you for presenting solo games, it is not always you have someone around you when the board game itch strikes!
When completing a green castle, wouldn't you circle the icon in the green section? When you got the first castle (w/worker), you marked it in the green area, but the subsequent green castles, you marked them on the other tracks.
When you got the castles, should've marked off the goods by the castles spot on the sheet
thx for confirming.. was thinking the same thing!
I played a sheet along with your video, good tutorial, sad this game didn't do as well as it's big brother. oh well. GAME ON!
Happy to help! And yeah, I really like this game-there are a lot of roll and writes out there, but this is still one of my favorites.
잘 보았습니다. 솔로 플레이 하는데 참고가 되네요. ^^
Nice. I know the game rules before even ordering it!
Hi, Thank you for a great run through of the game, it was really useful. At 12:52 you write on the screen that for gray and blue you technically can choose one of two bonuses; silver or a commodity. Can you please clarify. I know I can sell a commodity and get silver when I roll the double hourglass, but choose to get silver when completing a river area . Is this what they say in the rule book at page 7 at the top ? I don’t read it that way ...but English is not my native language.
Ok i bit... bought the game, read thru some of the manual and i’m back. Thanx for making this video. If this didnt exist, I’d probably never figure this game out. Whoever wrote the manual did a CRAP job. I’m hoping Fleet Dice is a little easier to figure out. This Castles dice game looks like a more complex version of “Hex Rollers”.... hmmm maybe I should stick with the simpler roll&writes, or only with ones that have rock solid, clearly explained rules (Dice Stars, Space Invaders Dice, etc)
thanks
Quick question, at the 18:10 mark when you completed the orange section, shouldn't you have gotten 13 points instead of 10? The rules say "In phases 1 and 2 you gain the higher amount of extra victory points for completing a color".
Dumidu Surasinghe I think so
Hi Dumidu. You are confusing the extra victory points with the standard points for completing. The extra victory points are given once you complete ALL colours on the map. If she had done that in the first or second round she would have gotten the 6 extra victory points, or 3 extra victory points in the third (last round). The standard points are consistent for each round, and so for the 4 hex area she completed it was only worth 10 points as it was completed in the second round. She would have been awarded the 13 points if it had been completed in the first round.
She did it right - the rule you're quoting applies to completing a color *on the whole sheet*, as she does at around 27:30 (filling in last orange, getting lower amount of extra victory points because it is neither round 1 or 2 any more).
Selling commodities; the rules imply you get 2 vp each time you sell. Not 1 point for each sold commodity. You scored 2 pts at 29:13 but you got that because you sold commodities, not because you sold 2. If you sold 1, you would still get 2 vp’s.
I wish I had looked at this video before ordering the card game. In my tiny room I play on a flat board I lay on my bed, and it's just an unbelievable space hog. I might get rid of the card game even though I enjoyed the mechanics.
This takes up no room lol
wenchwogg Try CoB Dice! Much smaller footprint, and I like it a bit better anyway.
Well, at about 10’ I decided to pass on this. Its like the designer of this game tried to jam lots of options into it... to me its too confusing. If you have any other solo dice game suggestions, I’m all ears! Considering Roll thru the Ages (bronze, not iron). Dice Harvest also looks neeto (or is it Harvest Dice?) but its not a solo game.
supercommando440 I like this one quite a bit, but these videos exist to help you make your own call! I actually tried Roll Through the Ages (Bronze) last night and had a good time. I would definitely play again. MetroX is my favorite still. And I have enjoyed my first few games of Welcome To. Thanks for commenting!
Beyond Solitaire thnx. Chking this again. I’d never remember all the rules with this game. It looks claustrophobic, cramped... oh well.
I have this game and played my first game yesterday. But watching your video I ‘be realised I Made some mistakes
Don't worry, I make plenty of mistakes myself in plenty of games. :P
This is quite frustrating; at 8:05 you rolled a dbl hourglass. The rules dont say you dont mark off 2 boxes under the time column. You’re playing it wrong. The rules say there are 8 rounds. Since it doesnt say anything about NOT checking off 2 boxes under the timer, I think we should assume the min rounds for solo is 4, max is 8 (just like the rules state the min and max for std game, which is 5 and 10). Hence rolling the dbl hourglass is no different between solo and std rules.
This is incorrect. The solo rules are on the final page of the rulebook, and clearly state that there are exactly 8 rounds per phase. It also states that the hourglass die is only used for commodity selling.
