One Deck Galaxy - Straight Up Solo with John LaRuffa

[@heintsi89]

Still the best video on explaining this game, thank you.

[@JohnLaRuffa]

Thanks! I appreciate it! Glad to help!

Having never played One Deck Dungeon, I have nothing to compare this to. I do like the look of this one though and am glad to know that it will also accomodate up to 2 players, since much of my gaming is done either solo or 2-player. Thanks for the video, John!

[@JohnLaRuffa]

You got it!

I didn't expect this game to be so different from one deck dungeon

Glad I wasn’t the only who felt the rules could better explained and sorely missed a player aid.

[@JohnLaRuffa]

For sure!

[@RvLeshrac]

"Could be better explained" is like the single nicest possible thing you could say about the rulebook. You must be an actual living saint.

[@JohnLaRuffa]

@RvLeshrac 😆 It’s funny. I know these people put so much time and effort into their games and then you get these rule books that a written poorly after what is probably hundreds of hours of play testing and development. It’s a shame but there are more bad rule books that good ones out there and for the life of me, I cannot understand why. You would think the game publishers would be of help since they want the games to sell.

Helpful video. Thank you. I know I would be interested in a helpful player aid for game flow. I bought and played the game a couple months ago. Was both frustrated and really enjoyed it. Relearning the game is my main concern.

[@JohnLaRuffa]

Agreed. However, I think you could totally play the whole things after several months with a proper player aid.

13:47 Unfortunately it is not allowed to study encounters to gain them as science; only locations can be studied. This is not explained very clearly in the rulebook, but it has been confirmed by the designer in the BGG forums.

[@JohnLaRuffa]

I did not know that. That does make more sense, but I don’t know why it was not made clearer in the rule book. Thank you very much for letting me know!

[@singlemeeple]

@@JohnLaRuffa No problem! Another excellent playthrough by the way. I appreciate and enjoy your approach of explaining things as you go along.

[@JohnLaRuffa]

Thanks! Glad to be of service.

[@TheMexicanSuperman1]

Did you end up making that player aid?

[@JohnLaRuffa]

I must have missed this comment a while back, but no, I never did. I haven’t played this one in a while…

[@ОлегПтов]

How long one session in this game?

[@JohnLaRuffa]

90 min plus I would say.
