SpaceCorp: Ventures | Solo Playthrough | With Colin

[@shawnrynearson6114]

Great job on this playthrough. I've watched it a few times now, and it really helped me focus on gameplay and not re-reading rules.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

That's exactly what I was hoping to do! Thanks so much for commenting and watching!

[@Kiyote]

This and Leaving Earth are my favourite space games, and both play so nicely solo. Happy you tabled this with the expansion.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

I tried Leaving Earth but couldn't get into it. This one just sings for me and I love it!! Appreciate you watching and commenting!!

[@culebricas]

i love this game, nice gameplay. I like when you stop to read some info of the asteoroids, planets, etc, cool tempo. I have a question about the building action on Titan 1:14:15 ...you say that building cost is 7, am i missing something or is 8 (6+2)?

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

First thank you so much for the kind comments! Had a blast recording this one. You are likely right on Titan I unfortunately don't remember!!

[@crapoleon]

Epic encounter Colin!! Thank you

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Yeah this game is GLORIOUS! hope to play it again soon. It is so good!!

[@Kili121416]

I have the expansion but have not got into this game. Your playthrough has given me new enthusiasm.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Yes!!! I hope you can play it soon! Thanks for watching!

[@malcolmsleight9334]

Thanks for the playthru, I enjoyed watching it. I have the base game and the expansion, and so I'm going to have to get this on the table for a solo play.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Yes!!! Hope you pull it off the shelf is really great! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@johndavidharding]

This game looks so amazing! I am going to watch your excellent playthrough a second time. I learned a lot!

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

This game is fantastic!! Thank you so much for watching! If you like this one you should check out SETI that I just posted a couple days ago. It is also awesome and similar to this one!

[@johndavidharding]

@@MeetMeAtTheTable I've watched your SETI playthrough 2 times! An incredible game!

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

@johndavidharding of haha!! Well you are ready then for any of these awesome space games!!

[@bookaddict777]

I have owned this one for several years but have yet to get it played. Thanks for the video, Colin - hopefully I will get it to the table soon!

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Oh you've got to get it to the table!! Thanks so much for watching!!

[@hoff2112]

Thanks for the excellent play through and explanations Colin, this looks to be just my thing. I ordered it on the strength of your video. Cheers.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

So glad to help!! How you enjoy tons of plays of the game!!

[@Hybban]

Love the game ! And this expansion.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Is so good!! Hybban so great to hear from you!!

[@Hybban]

@@MeetMeAtTheTable where you go, I follow Colin !

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

@Hybban you are awesome my friend!!

[@Hybban]

@@MeetMeAtTheTable no, YOU are awesome.

[@gregabrams9946]

We actually call it infrastructure here on earth, too!

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Hahaha!!

[@Schmali72]

Very cool playthrough - I just ordered the game :-)

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Yes!!!!!! Thanks so much for watching!!

[@KevinHoekman]

Colin, what amazes me most (being a game maker most likely highlights this) is the game balance is so well done. Considering all of the different things that can be done, it must have taken them a very long time to create this expansion. I like your strategies. Getting move in the infra is critical and getting that radiation adaptation is key. I'd like to see another video of you playing a non genetics goal oriented company to see how that pans out. I'm going to buy this in a couple of months, any leads to where the best price might be?

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Kevin!! This game is just glorious. I love the 3 phases and how they interact and the expansion is what was needed to make it a great game from a good game. As for where to get it, I ended up going to the second hand market and picked it up with the expansion for about 60 bucks. Otherwise it's just expensive like any other gmt game

[@KevinHoekman]

@@MeetMeAtTheTable I ended up buying them new from Boarding School Games for $77.50. So excited to play and record!

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Can't wait to watch!!!! The game is wonderful!

[@KevinHoekman]

@@MeetMeAtTheTable I played my first game and didn't use the expansion. I was down by a point after Mariners, up by 1 after Planeteers, but the comp got the first beyond so I was behind the whole time and ended up losing 109-100. Gonna play with the expansion now and do a practice game before I start recording tomorrow. This game IS so cool!

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

@KevinHoekman dude so freaking cool!!! Glad you are enjoying this one so much!!

[@pencilpauli9442]

Well played Colin...hey bad pun time...Colin the Space Coliniser? lol Thanks,. that was really fun to watch along! Just last week, astronomers decided that Neptune is as blue as they thought. The reason had something to do with the images provided by one of the Voyager probes, and the blue values were enhanced so some of the banding could be seen with the greater contrast. For some reason this step was missed. It's only just a bit more blue than Uranus. It's been cold here in the UK so it is possible that my butt is bluer than Uranus (Apologies for the schoolboy humour! lol) ps the science news is legit, it wasn't me just making that up for a cheap pay off lol

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

That is so cool!! I love space facts like that! Appreciate you very much Paul for watching and commenting!! It was not a short video I'll tell you that!

[@spycom82]

Great playthrough! Game feels like a perfect example of easy to learn hard to master 😅

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

You've got it!! It's got a song learning curve but it plays so smoothly. Thanks so much for watching!!

[@itsjiloo]

Love this game solo and in any number of players. One of my favourites. My next step in cosmic exploration is going to be High Frontier 4 All - just started reading the rules.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Nice!! Thanks so much for watching!!

[@itsjiloo]

@@MeetMeAtTheTable I love your gameplays. Even if I know and like the game I really enjoy watching them. Glad you make a gameplay with expansion.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

@itsjiloo thanks so much my friend! We really appreciate it over here!! So much fun to play these games and share it with others

[@j3errym]

Great game, have the expansion but not played it solo yet, will do soon. You asked about other good exploration games, I think you would love Expedition Zetta from Ion Game Design, solo, co-op and multiplayer, with cards that can generate thousands of bot variants, that can be used in any of those game play modes. It has a number of modules, I play with them all. For system exploration it has a fantastic planetary system generator that has a capacity to generate as many possible combinations as the estimated number of stars in the known universe - 6x1023. It creates a unique code for each planet, which means you can replay using the same planets. It includes a decks of 66 double sided pre defined planets, if you don't want to use it. The system can be used with other games, RPGs or space games that need generated planets. Jplay produced a set of videos of his game play.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

This is so cool!!! I'm going to look this up now and thank you so much for watching!!

[@KevinHoekman]

Colin, I just got the game and expansion delivered. I will be doing a series on my channel with all 10 factions!

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Oh boy!!!! That is so freaking cool!!!! Glad you picked this up!

[@KevinHoekman]

@@MeetMeAtTheTable Yep, I got this one as well as High Frontier 4 all with modules 0, 1, 2 and 4.

[@KevinHoekman]

@@MeetMeAtTheTable If you guys are interested I put up 8 videos (2 in the live section) of High Frontier 4 all. I recommend watching the Race for Glory parts 1-6 in the videos section. This is just the tip of the iceberg. This game is amazing!

[@theblunder1983]

Love this. It’s like xia but might actually be close to eventual reality!

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

So true!! So much fun!!

[@Brootal666]

This looks so good, local pricing is a bit high here, will be looking out for sales

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Yeah the GMT games are kinda expensive but oh boy was this fun! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!

[@itsjiloo]

Here in Europe GMT games are quite difficult to get, so I need to grab them as they show up in the stores. No chances to get any discounts :)

[@lordkelvin441]

Now after playing that you are ready for HF4A...

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Hahaha!! I was going to try... but it was too much!

[@lordkelvin441]

@@MeetMeAtTheTable There are 2 simpler variants of core game, you can definitely manage Race for Glory.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

@lordkelvin441 that is true I should have kept it but I just couldn't convince myself to read the rules haha!!

[@darrensmith8487]

Wait! This is soloable? I didn't notice that...

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Yes it is!! It's so good!

[@darrensmith8487]

@@MeetMeAtTheTable I thought it looked great on the heavy cardboard playthrough, but didn't think I'd get much of a chance to play it. Solo though.... Ever tried Leaving Earth?

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

@darrensmith8487 I did that one seemed too much math haha! I like this one much more
