I really like all the content you do. Your thoroughness and your demeanor are a great combo.

[@olegyd]

According the rules you cannot draw cards if you have 8 cards in hand! Rules book clear about that or I miss something? Thank you

[@liamtaylor9647]

At the 58 minute mark you placed a worker on the journey space but did not discard 5 cards. Really good play through though. Nice pacing meant I was able to follow along easily.

[@joannawareluk3939]

Great video! Exactly what I needed to finally get Silvercrest to the table. I really like how you talk over your moves and motives. Very informative and soothing at the same time. Subscribing.

[@BryceChristiansen]

Good play through. Thanks for covering a solo game with the expansion. I know there were a few mistakes, but it's super hard not to forget something...especially while recording. Good work.

[@TheMeepleMarathon]

Yeah, I try my best not to have to pause the video and review the rulebook, so I miss things sometimes.

[@FEBear1]

Thanks very much for this. I don't feel quite so daunted taking on this expansion now

[@nobled1050]

I enjoyed hearing you talk through the game, good job, i just started playing and it was interesting to see your strategy, thanks

[@oshfarms13]

Rules for how the “Fool” plays solo is in the rule book. Great video!

[@divergirl8296]

Great video. I just ordered Everdell and I'll mostly be playing solo these days. I'm interested in possibly getting some of the expansions later so it was nice to see how this expansion plays solo. Would love to see Pearlbrook solo if you have it.

[@elainerobson4528]

What happen about the five point on journey at end? At bottom left of main board. Did you need more cards to claim that?

[@JonaBullets]

This is one of the better produced solo playthrough video I have seen, for the ability to see the cards, feels like we are apart of it! Side question: what hardware are you filming with? I've been on the lookout to upgrade my gear at home to start some solid filming.

[@TheMeepleMarathon]

I'm pretty sure I shot this video with my iPhone, but have since switched to a GroPro Hero 8. For supporting the iphone, I have something similar to this ... www.amazon.com/dp/B07CYPF8RD/ref=sspa_dk_detail_3?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07CYPF8RD&pd_rd_w=X4uxU&pf_rd_p=48d372c1-f7e1-4b8b-9d02-4bd86f5158c5&pd_rd_wg=9Mtfo&pf_rd_r=RH723QSSV6B555GDKA59&pd_rd_r=101f4986-803f-4fb5-93a4-76f6d230f13e&smid=A2HLA8C1BB3NSJ&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzOUtYVFQ5WThJS0Y0JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwNTQ2ODYyMjZFSVdBUDk4WEM5SyZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwMjU0NjY4QTgyT05XMzE2MDFWJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfZGV0YWlsJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ== And I have various attachment mounts for it that can hold an iPhone, iPad, or Webcam. I also built a DIY frame out of PVC pipe that stradles my play area and allows me to suspend the camera and a light directly above my play surface. I like the GoPro Hero 8 because I can take the battery out and just run a long USB C cable to it so it's always on. It records in 4k if I want, though usually I just film in 1080p for storage reasons, but then I can directly transfer my video files (over wifi) to my iPad which I use for editing.

When playing the postal pigeon and the Historian, Rugworth should have gotten 2 cards. And in Spring you could have used your undertaker (under Trail Guide) to get the queen out of the meadow.

[@fraukjepijls903]

If you get the fool (-2) card. You discard it together with a card from the city of rugworth…

[@dionnebutler8143]

First, thanks for this video! I just started playing Everdell and solo at that. Sevond, that's a GORGEOUS playmat! Do you mind sharing the info on it?

[@TheMeepleMarathon]

Sure. It's the Ryan Laukat designed Hudson mat from Game Toppers 2.0 Kickstarter. I believe at some point they will make these available via retail. Here is their website. www.gametoppersllc.com/

[@rutgerdejong1660]

Am I crazy or did you never pay the card or 1 resource for the big bear critter card? It was the second card you revealed so you had to pay a card or a resource for it to use it but you didn't because after taking the bear you still have the three berries and I didn't see you discard a card I think :'D

[@TheMeepleMarathon]

I may have. I haven’t watched this play through in a while.

[@Assie8911]

Really great playthrough but it is my understanding that uou get 3 points instead of 2. If the wife is paired with the husband, not 5.but maybe I'm wrong.And doesn't Rugworth get 3 points for any left over special events.so 6 points?

[@arjanang]

No you are right. For a coupled wife you get 3 points, not 5.

[@mickelboy182]

@@arjanang Nope, you get the initial 2 and then apply the 3 additional
