"Lose a battle" I love it. Difficult stuff!

[@soloboardgaming]

I know, right? Lose a battle!? And what, I lose the whole game? 😲😬 That's what I call harsh 🤣

I love watching your videos, one of the reasons is you are so enthusiastic, that it's contagious! I am going through difficult times because of my OCD, and your videos really help me... Look forward to the next Ici c'est le France turn btw

Hi Brun, Great to see you here again, thank you! And I'm pleased you mentioned your difficult times because I've also had challenges lately. I've suffered real depression which was very bad last year and I admit I went to some dark places. My anxiety went thru the roof too. I thought of making videos but then felt embarrassed because of my shaky hands! But then I thought, I don't care anymore, I want to make game videos and if people don't like shaky hands then they won't watch. So I started last May. Since then I've improved a hundred fold. My feelings are mainly under control. I have some not so good days but mainly I'm a lot happier and getting some confidence back. So, all I'll say is, make sure you let people know how you feel and then allow yourself space to just be you. Once people know, they're wonderful and helpful and then you can be natural. Anyway, you're amazing for putting up with my rambling videos 😊👍

This looks very interesting, and it's about another piece of history I'm ashamed to admit I know very little about. Looking forward to your playthrough.

Hello Jon 👍 Funnily enough, one fact has stuck in my mind since my early teens: His crowning as Holy Roman Emperor in Rome on Christmas day in the year 800AD. Its such an easy date to remember it has stuck with me as a 'bookmark' in history ever since! As for the rest, I'll be learning such a lot 😊 Thanks again Jon!

One of Tom Russel's best designs!

[@soloboardgaming]

Could be. I've watched it for a while and I'm aware of Aurelius and Agricola games. This one really spoke to me as regards theme and the challenge. Thanks for visiting Pierre, I appreciate it 👍

[@victoryfish]

@@soloboardgaming mechanically his other games are also fab, but as you say in the video the theme is what really grabs me with this one.

[@soloboardgaming]

@@victoryfish Definitely! I have The Grass Crown and love it so much! And you may not be aware Pierre but Tom is now known as Amabel and uses the pronoun she. It's ok because not many people are aware of that and it's still the same amazing designer 👍

[@victoryfish]

@@soloboardgaming the grass crown is my absolute favourite Hollandspiele game! The historical background book was also great!

[@soloboardgaming]

@@victoryfish Totally agree mate!
