How to Play Battlecrest (solo)

[@rorydoconnor]

Just watched this, while waiting for Battlecrest to arrive tomorrow. This is the first video of yours I’ve watched, but I’ll be subscribing thanks to the concise explanations and wonderful humour in the video.

[@thegrouchynerd]

Awesome! Welcome! Hope you enjoy the game! Lot going on in such a tiny package.

Found you trying to learn Black Sonata, checked out the channel because of the humour and subscribed for the solo. Great stuff!

[@thegrouchynerd]

Hey, that’s awesome! Thanks a lot!

[@boardsandstuff5008]

Clear, concise and entertaining. That was an instant subscribe. Thank you. The rule book of this game was kicking my butt. But now I’m confident to play this game.

[@thegrouchynerd]

Awesome! Glad it helped! And, yeah, learning a game over 4 little pamphlets is not ideal…

[@jacksondoughty]

Another great breakdown of a great game. Thank you Mr. Grouch for your work to share the best of the best solo games.

[@thegrouchynerd]

Thank you! Thanks for watching!

[@thegrouchynerd]

Thank you so much!

I got this a week or so ago. Tried to learn it and it broke my brain. I put it in my "to sell" pile. With your video I will give it another try, but it still seems the opposite of streamlined. Anyways, I think I should just wait for you to post videos before I buy them games. Oh, and I see you fixed your lighting, looks much better now. Also no echo. Good job, Grouchy.

[@thegrouchynerd]

Yeah, it was a bit of a struggle to parse out all the rules spread over 4 pamphlets. At this point, I should just ask you if you have any requests! You seem to be physically directing anyway! Thanks for the feedback on lights and sound. Still feel like there’s a tiny echo when I’m in the room. Might have to pull the trigger on some ceiling treatment at some point! But glad it sounded better!

Quality video. Very well explained. It's an amazing "little" game

[@thegrouchynerd]

Thanks! It really is! I’m excited for Season 2!

[@Anoik]

@@thegrouchynerd me too!

I felt that you we're quite grouchy enough in this video. Perhaps dial-up the passive aggression in the next video 😂 Fantastic walkthough. The cadence, length, and amount of detail was perfect. The style reminds me of another of my favourite channels (3 Minute Board Games) except you focus on how to play rather than just a review. I was struggling with the rules but you made it simple. It's the first video of yours I've watched but I've now subscibed and queing up some of your other videos. Battlecrest! 🎉

[@thegrouchynerd]

First of all, how dare you? (Better?) Thank you, I really appreciate that! I also struggled with this one at first, to be honest. I love Buttonshy and how they can do so much with so little, but the rules are sometimes a bit hard to parse, especially between 4 little pamphlets! Thanks for watching and subbing!

[@rcarterbrown1]

More Button Shy solo games please!

[@thegrouchynerd]

There are definitely more on the way! I don’t know if I have all of them, but I sure have most of them!

[@JJEMcManus]

Wee packages hiding legions of potential. What’s not to like? but Lilliputian rulebooks stuffed into wee packages are always problematic and Battlecrest⚡️seems to have a fair few of them. Needs PDF⚡️ Of course I need to get my hands on this if only to see if the AI drags everything down the rabbit hole. Expansions? egad! Quite a new take from Button Shy

[@thegrouchynerd]

Ha, yeah, solo play is spread over 4 of their rules pamphlets. It’s a bit rough to learn, tbh. But once it clicks, it’s pretty smooth.
