Carnegie Board Game | Solo Tutorial Playthrough

[@sh-kr]

I played this game once on BGA and bought it right away. 💯The mechanism of this game feels very organic.

[@TotallyTabled]

I totally agree SH! It really flows. Xavier is one of my fav designers and he has done it again.

[@dtelquess]

Just come across your channel. Very good presentations and subbed. Question : @25:00 you claimed income but did not seem to get your project tracks income, did you do that off camera or was a reason to not be able to?

[@thesolitairegambit2556]

Amazing tutorial 😁 I’m glad I watched it because I’ve been trying to play it but the rules seems too much for me and I’m not sure why 😆 I do have a question, when you make Donations, do you take the disc from your projects or from the extra supply? Sorry I just didn’t notice that on your video

[@TotallyTabled]

Thanks! I'm glad my video helped. I really enjoy Carnegie. Great game. As for your question, you take the disc from your supply when making a donation. Thanks so much for watching and supporting the channel for so long!

[@JRTG85]

8:20 Hi, are you sure Carnegie always goes first, i think its according to player turn order. Good video as always!

[@marcojean6578]

I was doubtful too but went back to the rules. Solo section 2.2.1. And 2.2.2. States who chooses the action depending on the train’s location. Then, 2.3. States Andrew plays and finally, 2.4 states the player takes its turn.

[@kornelije.h]

Javier is right, the player goes 1st on the player's turn, Carnegie on his. Clarification from the game designer on BGG. Anyhow, very nice video. Thank you.

[@TimeAndTactics]

Nice playthrough! Great camera work. I don't think you take your event (income/donations) during Andrew's turn. You wait until it's your turn (2.4).

[@JustbGood2]

You did not take your project income in the last round and it would have given you one more cube and 7 more money - enough for a final donation.

[@TotallyTabled]

Hey, nice, I got slightly less crushed! :) Thanks for catching the mistake and watching the video Justin!

[@onlyfoolsdontfear]

What is the correct way to set up blocked off spaces? A) Prepare automa deck per chosen level, shuffle and then open 18 cards B) Shuffle and open 18 basic automa cards for setup and then adjust the automa deck per chosen level? It's one of the few unclear things. Thanks :)

[@dawidmadejski5704]

Great presentation of solo gameplay rules (I couldn't find it on Polish YT). Thank you very much

[@TotallyTabled]

You're welcome! I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for checking out the video!

[@skiggs20]

Perfect timing! I've been thinking about grabbing the deluxe version of this. Where does this rank on your top solo euros?

[@TotallyTabled]

Thanks for watching Skiggs! You know what.. this one keeps growing on me. I want to play a few more times before I record my final thoughts later this week but I'm surprised how much I've enjoyed my five plays. The AI is very easy to manage and the solo game plays in one hour. And the decision making is really deep for such a medium weight ruleset. I'm definitely impressed!

[@elqord.1118]

Wish we could add the bot to a three player game. Amazing playthrough

[@TotallyTabled]

It probably would work with some tweeking. I wouldn't be surprised if someone on BGG has come up with something. I'm glad you enjoyed the playthrough! Thanks for checking it out.

[@Lore087]

Fantastic video! Thanks :)

[@TotallyTabled]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching!

[@TheLostTones]

Correct me if I am wrong but I think there is a mistake when you got the point for cities linked. The manual says you have to connect at least 2 major cities (sf, new orleans, Chicago and NY, the ones with the link symbol). Then you add the link points with the mininum level of trains you got in those regions and look the points in the board. I can see you didn’t connect any major cities so there is no point in this case, instead of 18. You have discs in NY and sf but the cities are not connected. Thanks for the video. It helped a lot in my first play. Appreciate if you can answer.

[@TotallyTabled]

I'm blue.

[@TheLostTones]

Ohhh so I got confused cause you have a pot with white discs beside the board. Thanks!

[@bill0804]

Thank you for the video just got my KS a few days ago

[@TotallyTabled]

Thanks William. I hope you enjoy the game!

[@OnesUponaGame]

Subscribed. Well demonstrated.

[@TotallyTabled]

Thanks for sub! I really appreciate it!

[@nirszi]

Thanks for doing this video. I'm refer to it once I get the game. Is this the retail or deluxe version?

[@TotallyTabled]

This was the KS deluxe edition. I think some of the wooden bits and the train was really the only upgrades. Only cosmetics things I think, no gameplay differences. Retail would be more than fine. Thanks Nir!

[@BadatBoardgames]

Interesting game how would you rank it 1-10 ?

[@TotallyTabled]

I'm releasing a short review tomorrow! So without spoiling, I really like the solo mode. Thanks for watching Bad!

[@dangerousbeans2907]

Thanks.

[@TotallyTabled]

You are very welcome!

[@theercs]

Fantastic video! Thanks so much!! Question: At 37:06 you spent $6 to get 6 cubes. Does the 3x on that building mean you can only activate it 3 times and only be able to spend $3 to get 3 cubes?

[@theercs]

Nevermind. Just realized you have 2 workers there. Thanks again for the video! :)

[@TotallyTabled]

Thanks for checking out the video Steve! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

[@BoardgameLiker]

Thanks!

[@TotallyTabled]

Wow, thanks so much for your generosity Lance! You are my first Super Thanks! I really appreciate the support.

[@edward.miranda]

Looks like a good game. How's the variability from play-to-play?

[@TotallyTabled]

The variety of available offices with special actions definitely mixes up the puzzle from game to game, but the puzzle is basically the same. I think it is pretty typical for a euro game. Less variability then Troyes, one of my favorites of his. Thanks for watching Edward!

[@edward.miranda]

@@TotallyTabled Thanks for the response! Will also checkout Troyes

[@TheLostTones]

Additionally, you count your money and cubes. Why?

[@TotallyTabled]

Scoring my donations.

[@travelbound4484]

Have watched video and am very interested but concerned about space taken for solo play on my game table. Is it possible for someone to measure space needed including all componants? Strange question, I know! Thanks in advance for your help

[@TotallyTabled]

I'm not sure about the exact dimensions, but my table is 4foot by 3 foot, and it fit pretty well. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

[@travelbound4484]

My game table is 34 square. Thanks.

[@TotallyTabled]

@@travelbound4484 That would be tight but doable, I think, especially if you place the goods on a chair or the floor. Thanks!
