Endless Winter: Paleoamericans - Straight Up Solo with John LaRuffa

[@RBaikal]

Thanks for this playthrough & analysis John. As a relative newcomer to solo board games, the sheer table presence of this game intimidates me. I enjoyed watching you navigate a few turns and look forward to future content on this game if you add some of the expansions to your collection.

[@JohnLaRuffa]

Don’t be intimidated at all. This game is very fun and manageable and would be a perfect entry point for someone who is starting off in the solo hobby.

[@fongstar]

Thanks for the review and play through!

[@JohnLaRuffa]

You got it!

[@JohnLaRuffa]

Note! I forgot about the fact that if you play more than one culture card, you need to discard a card for each one played over 1. That makes things a lot tougher!

Great video. For end scoring,the Nomad doesn't use the offering track, only the honor track.During game he will never go up on the offering track.

[@JohnLaRuffa]

OK. I was thinking he would use the offering track if the arrow pointed to the left. I’ll check the rules again. Thanks for the heads up!

[@Assie8911]

Correction! I misinterpreted the rules(dutch).The Nomad DOES go up on the offer track,but only after he reaches the top on the honor track.Sorry for the confusion!

[@JohnLaRuffa]

@@Assie8911 I worries!

Overall agree - a good but not amazing medium weight euro. My analogy would be a game of tic tac toe where to place your mark you'd have to play a different mini game like rock paper scissors or hangman for each square. Interesting but not really deep at it's core. :)

[@JohnLaRuffa]

I agree. I would not call this game deep at all. But, it is fun. When I play again, I am going to try the hard AI variant. Hopefully, that will push me to have to work harder for the victory.

Interesting, having watched the unboxing and seeing its numerous components I would have expected it to be of higher complexity and depth than it is. Will pass on this one. Thanks for the review!
