Can't wait to see how this one turns out!!

I have enjoyed your time on the 'absolutely cursed island,' Paul! Thanks again for this play through!

you for got to do the green spawn zone ant the end of the last enemy go.

This is why i sold this game. one bad bit of luck, and you're fecked. Cheers for the playthrough Paul 👍🏻

Yup! That's the game for you! Things are going well, until they don't!

I am reminded of Happy Luza's song about this game. I think he captured the feeling perfectly.

Great playthrough! Curse that wild cat!

I think you skipped over the 0 morale space but in both directions so it didn't matter in the end. Bad luck on getting the absolute worst beast possible. For that action phase, I would have healed once with the carpenter and used two pawns to build the pot. The roof wasn't as important you had plenty of food and wood to discard for missing roof levels for this round (I would not have put that wood on the pile this round as you still had plenty of time for the pile). You really NEVER want to roll the brown dice as it's way too likely to fail and take wounds. Dice rolling is more acceptable on exploring and gathering as you have a much better chance of success. Very tough break but you would have made it out of this round with 4 or so health remaining and Friday alive with a way to heal wounds every turn (morale and pot if extra food, which is at least once due to the goat).

Hunting in this game is basically never worth it, so it's terrible when you're forced to hunt.

Lol ... Wow ... that went south quickly ... maybe too much going on all at once and you missed a bad event ... lol ... lots of fun !!

Crushed under the collapsing palisade. You did well and that is probably as far as I've got with the game. I've (we've) never beaten the game which is why it now sits on the top shelf of the bookcase...just out of reach. 🙂 Hey, how about not including "Finale" in the title, it kinda takes away some of the...I dunno...tension?

And I thought you were doing so well 😂🐆

is there any other solo mission in this game will you be doing any more play through off it.

This is the best game ever. Swings so quickly. I enjoyed it very much.

Very surprised when I saw the finale in the title. This went south quickly. I thought you were going to win.

Great Playthrough Paul, but boy is that game hard to beat - I recollect the rules are pretty flaky. I will get back to It one day.

Is there any dangerous tiles?

I would like to see some hunting.

What else is the knife used for besides increasing your weapon skill? Trying to understand why you chose to build that if you don't plan on hunting. Thanks.

I believe that you can keep the larva token until you want to use it, so the food won’t spoil at the end of the day. Think of it as having the larva alive until you decide to eat them -yuck

At 8:36, after you built the roof, you placed the wood back in your available resources. I think(?) that wood should be gone.

I've never seen such lucky event cards. They're basically doing nothing freeing up the precious few pawns available in solo to hit the necessary actions. Since you're in such a good position right now, I would play very conservatively and use two pawns for every action. You have enough health to survive a few bad dice rolls easily enough and really don't want to risk failing the builds.

Mad skillz.

You cant use the same carpenter's abilities more than once per round I believe.

Did you take a food when you explored a tile with a food resource? You have to take an action to gather from it, you don't get it for free. Doesn't affect the result though as you didn't use it anyway and it was discarded. Moving the camp centrally (to a tile with both food and wood) before roof goes to 2+ is important. You're kind of stuck on the beach now as you have to build more roof but will lose half if you move. Exploring isn't going to be worth it when you're paying the distance penalty.

So far its not working too bad. (im not through with the video though ;)) And i'm not completely sure, but i think the morale track ends one space before at +2. The space your are currently on is when you gain a + morale while already at max, you gain 1 resolve or 1 health.

Regarding Raging River, you get half (rounded down) of the total resources. In your case, 2 wood + 1 food can be either 1 wood or 1 food. If you happened to produce 3 wood and 3 food, you would get to choose 2+1 or 1+2, rather than just 1+1.

I didn't know rum can heal you! Good to know if I ever get hurt, I should get a bottle just in case.

Really nice event cards so far, they're usually a lot worse to ignore. You have a good shot at winning if you move centrally once (and stay there) and build up a roof level each of the next 3 rounds. You'll also want 1 level of palisade at some point and to keep exploring with Friday and the dog (if there's not some event that needs attention) for the vital discovery tokens.

Great start. Hopefully it continues

I think the treat card is one of the better ones. You can just let it pass and you get a beast to hunt. Often they come with severe consequences if left unhandled. I usually start out by exploring as much as possible and taking chances by splitting the actions and rolling dice. But I get the playing it safe, but you dont have the time to keep it safe and win the game. Look forward to following your journey on the cursed island. RC is one of the first games I got when starting out in the hobby.

Great series of playthroughs

Why wouldn't you move the camp to the more central tile? It has the same resources, the hatchet comes with, and you're closer to the other tiles to avoid the +1 pawn penalty for distance. I suppose it doesn't matter if you only explore the lower left tile next turn and then move to be central, but you're also adjacent to that tile if you had moved and it would allow you to explore more than once next round (a good thing to get those sweet discovery tokens early). Either way, you definitely want the shelter built next round. The real trouble in this scenario is the weather. If you don't have multiple roof levels before the weather dice start being rolled then you will death spiral very quickly. You want to get central and start adding roof levels since you lose half of you move after adding roof levels.

Heheh ... This one looks very cool ... gonna be a fun watch !!

RC is one of my all-time favorite games so I am very happy to see it hitting your table, Paul! Good luck in not dying. . .

Why is the rum always gone?

Looking forward to see this playthrough!

Could you have moved your campsite to the mountain tile which has the natural shelter so that you wouldn't lose a heath point?

"every 20 or 30 playthroughs, I do make one tiny error"... ha ha, classic. Looking forward to this playthrough, good luck!

The raft is usable every round once built and you can change which type of worker it provides (as assistance, can't go on its own) each round similar to how the dog works.

Looking forward to this one. This is a game I still need to spend more time with!

Or you could move your camp in the mountains, it has a natural shelter. It could save you some time to do other stuff like the hatchet, which would give you some Wood each turn. I don't remember in which phase you decide to move your camp... is it night phase ? It would prevent you from losing your first health.

Looks like a strong start. Good luck

Hello Paul is advance better than quest for solo play ?

Awesome! Would love to see a playthrough using the Optional Aliens Rule from P27 of the rule book "If you have enough Alien models, instead of creating Alien Swarms when a Blip token generates more than one Alien, you can place multiple Alien models" - might be too messy with those annoying long tails.

Wow! What a cinematic ending with all those blips spawning.

Love this gameplay. You did very well too. Can't wait to see the rest of the missions. Im not sure you will be this lucky 😂 Something else. After enjoying this game so much, do you think i should look into Nemesis? Is it worth a try? Thanks 🙏

How come when you rest you don't destroy the wound card?

Drake! We are leaving! Loved this series of playthroughs and the movie so much that I picked the game up, thanks!
