Robinson Crusoe: Adventures on the Cursed Island | Castaways | Playthrough | With Colin

[@NoNameNoWhere]

This game is amazing. I still vividly remember the end of one of our sessions. My companions were fairly healthy, but I had suffered a great deal in our effort to gather wood to signal the passing vessels. But we were nearly there. All we had to do was survive the night and the next morning's events. If we could hold out just a tiny bit longer, we could safely gather the last bit of wood needed for our pyre. It was a brutal night, but we survived. I was down to my LAST health. We draw an event card (from the bottom of the deck). Every player gains 1 health. Not bad! We draw a second event card... every player loses 1 health. WHAT FORTUNE! Had these cards been drawn in reverse, I would have died! How absolutely amazing! What a PHENOMENAL way to beat the game! Just needed to draw one more card. ... Every player loses 1 health. FFFFFFUUUUUUand that's how my life got flipped-turned upside down.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Awesome story!!

[@billstrohler]

Love this game About 95% sure we are playing it correct all the time. Great play through. Very clear and exciting.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I hear you! Thanks for watching!

[@jimalexander687]

Your excellent planning and an abundance of favorable die-rolls made a very difficult game actually seem easy.

[@Turtlewax88]

That's some quality playthrough right there! Just received my Gamefound version of this game 1-2 months ago and we've played the new introductory campaign to learn the game. We will play our first proper scenario soon.

[@Muhd_Akmal]

This is unironically my favorite scenario for Robinson Crusoe. Thanks for the exciting playthrough Colin!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Oh awesome!! Glad you love this one and thanks for watching!

[@BobLee-df4zh]

14:19 Stuff like that is what I love about this game 😂

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Agreed!!

[@lukethreinen7380]

Thanks for this! Some catches: 44:09 you shouldn't have gotten an determination token for resolving that event card 58:44 every player should get a determination token, not just the two who handled the event 1:09:51 you don't have to last the round--you win immediately

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks!

[@stephenfarrell8587]

Loved it. I hope that you get more chances to find Robinson Crusoe on the table and ready to film! Cheers and good gaming.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks so much Stephen for watching!!

[@AaronDew]

Definitely in my top three games. Have all the expansions and deluxe components. Lose more than I win but it's close to even.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Same here but its all about the journey right?

[@monicap.2188]

Thanks for continuing to make these Colin. They are great play throughs and I’m excited to try this game again. It’s so fun to try and not die.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Appreciate you watching and I agree! Best game to try and not die haha!!

[@dirks9816]

Thanks for the playthrough :) I have to get this back on the table. We recently started the Voyage of the beagle campaign from the expansion and its great.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks for watching! I've played that and agree it's great!!

[@obiwanchadnobi904]

I got this game but haven’t started yet. It feels very confusing but I guess I just need to start and follow the rules slowly. Thanks for your playthrough, definitely pushing me to play my copy.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yes! Just pull it out. It is daunting at first but it will get better quickly!

[@sarahracicot2299]

Love this game but it is so funny sometimes. The carpenter of all people can't just build a SHOVEL of all things without incident. Carpenter not only gets injured in the process of building but then seems easily distracted and decides to go off and have an adventure too?! (Though at least the adventure produced larvae and a goat somehow!) Great playthrough though as always! :)

[@ValorantRivals]

6:13 You have to stack the actions to get the guaranteed otherwise you would draw a ? card for each action that’s not stacked, you do this to potentially build two inventions instead of a guarenteed one.

[@PhlioNihm]

I always love seeing this game, whether playing or watching others play. Thanks Colin!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks for watching!!

[@alexandervandeneijnden7207]

One of my favourite games! It took me 6 tries to finally win the first scenario :D weather events are the worst early on

[@alexandervandeneijnden7207]

What a smooth-sailing trip to the island, congrats :)

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yeah that was a breeze I'll tell ya! Thanks so much for watching!

[@ValorantRivals]

19:26 you have to stack the actions, token on bottom is support

[@The_Dutch_Yeti]

Colin, my wallet can’t handle this! I seem to be buying every game you play, you make them all seem less daunting. Thankfully I found someone on Craigslist selling this with the expansions for cheap. Can’t wait to get it out and play!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Sorry for your wallet but your experiences should be awesome!! Hope you have fun with the nice score!!

[@shaneannigans]

Yiew!!! A Colin playthrough with a game I have and love!!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Whohoo! Thanks for watching Shane!!!

[@pencilpauli9442]

Great stuff thanks Colin, was really enjoyable to watch along to. All the bodies that were found were people killed by the gorilla who stole a pirate's cutlass. Which makes me think of a bad dad joke... Q: What do you call a pirate ape? A: A gorilAAAAR! That was indeed bad...😒 lol

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Haha I don't care how bad that is in laughed out loud!! Thanks for that Paul and thanks for watching!!

[@bernardgodfrey3499]

I need to get this one back on the table, I bought the expansion and the Beagle last year and backed the new adventure book, it's been sitting on the games shelf since. Thanks for the inspiration Colin. 👍

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Just what I was hoping to do!! Hope you pull it out to play soon!!

[@jackrutter9797]

Great playthrough Colin! This is the only scenario I feel brave enough to try so far... and fail... this will help me win my next go at it for sure, and I will try 4 characters next time! 😀

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Good luck Jack you got this!!

[@Sajatzsiraf]

Let's see if in true Robinson tradition he will mess up some rules... ;) love it, thanks for playing this

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks for watching! I think this one was relatively clean rules wise but we will see!

[@bookaddict777]

I love this game, even though it is extremely tough to win. I love the stories that get told as you are losing :)

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Haha I'm with you Stasia! Thanks for watching!

[@Quincy_Morris]

37:00 the Gorilla had the saber. You sword fought a gorilla.

[@stogrady]

Big thanks for this playthrough! It was awesome to finally see what a win looks like after failing this scenario so many times. Love this deluxe components too!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Haha! Thanks so much for watching!!

[@AndreasGjesing]

This is an amazingly well done playthrough! Nice work!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks for watching!

[@AxelPaul307]

Love watching your playthroughs. You seem to have more luck than I in this game. Plus you're educating me on rules I didn't understand or knew existed

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Glad to help! The game is a blast but I do lose quite often I'll ten you that! Thanks for watching!!

[@AxelPaul307]

@@OneStopCoopShop glad I am not the only one who experiences painful deaths on this game.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I can guarantee you are not!!

[@Bryant_P]

You made this scenario look so easy! I always struggle with it!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Haha for sure not easy I agree!!

[@DrMetalpin]

I think the key is to use all 4 characters as a solo player and not do it the way they want you to.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yup agreed!

[@boardgametime3727]

Thank you for the play through! Clear and entertaining as always ;D

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thank you so much for watching!!

[@beakerkell]

Nice! I'll finish watching later, but this was my first game I learned on Tabletop Simulator. I've always debated if I needed to pick up a physical copy, though I appreiciated the goat sound effect, by the way. :)

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Oh that's cool! It was one of my first games I owned as well! I've had 3 versions at this point. Glad you enjoyed the goats!!

[@beakerkell]

@@OneStopCoopShop Are you planning to get the new version coming?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

@@beakerkell Sorry missed this! I am getting it! Backed for everything excited for the new version!

For sure!!

Likely i missed it!!

[@adamkomisarek8998]

@@OneStopCoopShop thanks for the answer and the video. Was great watch. I played true solo and lasted like 5.5 rounds 😂

[@kmontzka]

Thanks for another entertaining playthrough, Colin! I recently received this one from a friend and have yet to play it. This will help give me confidence to break it out soon.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Oh that's awesome good luck!!

[@SaschaKleiber]

Great playthrough Colin, as always! Just a few notes: - you should put pawns above each other when using them for a safe action. Theres a difference between using two pawns for two unsafe actions (even if its the same action - except exploring) or two pawns for one safe action. - technicaly the shovel would go onto the unavailable resources space first, you can't use it in the same action phase Question: What tokens did you use here? E.g. for the discovery tokens, or the camp token.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Sure I did the pawns the way I did for recording purposes. Also the description I believe I put a link for the tokens! Thanks for watching!

[@SaschaKleiber]

@@OneStopCoopShop Oh, sorry, missed that! Thanks!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

No problem!

[@bernardogonzalez7012]

Great run-through, one thing that I noticed, I believe that the face of the dice you referred as “Y” it is supposed to be a check mark.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Ha true good point!

[@stevenreynolds8393]

Nice playthrough. This confirms that one can actually win this game LOL. I haven't played this for a while. This has inspired me to play with 4 characters the next time. However, for some crazy reason I backed the newest version and will probably wait for that version before I play again.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks for watching! I actually was not planning on playing it until the new one came out as well but then it was on my table! Hope you try 4 I think it's sure solid at that player count!

[@stephenfarrell8587]

@@OneStopCoopShop, personally don't mind the old set and you have lovely tokens...jealous a bit... Cheers

[@OneStopCoopShop]

@@stephenfarrell8587 Yea the upgraded chits are really nice. . .

[@vangelisevangelou]

Congratulations for the win. I love the sound effects, they add to the theme. Rules query: I think at round 5 you should still produce 1 wood due to the + wood token.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks so much my man for watching! I don't get the plus one from the hatchet as there is no wood resource on they tile anymore. At least that's how I would play that!

[@joewyatt8413]

Those tokens are awesome

[@SanderPastoor]

I just lost this scenario AGAIN and watching this really motivated me to go back in for more punishment!

[@SanderPastoor]

Update: I finally got it! I needed the full 12 days, but I'm so happy!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Congrats!!!

[@lonstar7675]

Hello Collin nice gameplay. I also own this great game. It is very good balanced between solo and multi plays. Expecially the solo mode is very good done and really fun. You can feel the adventure on a lonely island.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Totally can see that! Thanks so much for watching!!

[@ValorantRivals]

20:49 I don’t think you’re supposed to move the Weapon token up by 1, just count the +1 this turn (or am I wrong?)

[@carmelthomson9917]

Oh Colin, the agony....I've just missed winning the last two times by one stinking piece of wood 😭😭😭😭!!! The snow got me the last round 😫😫. LOve your tutes. I have no idea which of RC is my favorite as I'm still stuck on castaways!!!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Oh so close!!!! Thanks so much for watching!!

[@camelxhol551]

Hi Colin. I found some of your upgraded components from top shelf gamer, but it looks like you have others here as well? the bakelite looking tokens...

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Oh boy I have no idea... I wish I remembered sorry!!

[@corrado8955]

Did you back the Gamefound for the book of adventures? Really looking forward to 50+ new scenarios!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Oh yes I did can't wait!!

[@theblunder1983]

I love Robinson! You should try the Search for Doctor livingstone. Also look up cult of game if you want to pimp out your copy even more!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

In going to have to look that up thank you!!

[@coderofcodes9243]

Great play-through and really clear explanation of the rules and your actions. Where did you get your Round Summary player aides?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thank you! It is from the revised edition that I have. Not sure if there is one similar on bgg!

[@coderofcodes9243]

@@OneStopCoopShop Thanks for the clue! I have both Z-Man and Portal editions and just found mine in the Portal edition box. I have never tried playing multiple characters solo and will try it out.

[@doc_adam]

Great playthrough, I’d love to see you do a playthrough of mystery tales too

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks so much for watching!! If I could grok those rules I would buy they seem so... not great haha!

[@danderson5084]

As usual, you make it look fluid, approachable and easy to follow - but this game has a bit of a reputation for being complicated and difficult. Which is it?! 😉

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I think if you get 4 to 5 plays it flows but I do feel like your first play or 2 can be a challenge! Hope that helps!

[@anderssandstrom545]

When exchanging the discovery tokens from future resources, do you return these to the stack or are they discarded to the box?

[@nickbertoli]

Love this game even though it's difficult to win. Took me many tries before my first win with the Castaways scenario.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I hear you! Don't worry as you play more or will become easier... maybe haha!!

[@snowsamurai]

Which upgrades do you own ?

[@jerryf196]

How did u get the 5th pile of wood on fire?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Don't remember sorry!

[@vastbubble]

Awesome playthrough Collin! Definitely my favourite game to watch you play. Brutal but rewarding 😊 Are you backing the deluxified version on Gamefound?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Already did!! Thanks for watching!!

[@thapananawa8675]

I sold my copy and still waiting GF version to be delivered. It seems playing with 4 characters make it a bit easier compare to lower player count, right?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Oh nice! I hope that delivers soon! I think 4 players makes it the most balanced so yes 4 is the easiest! Just have to manage a lot!

[@thapananawa8675]

I always lose this scenario playing with 2 characters. Maybe I just bad at this game haha

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Haha! It takes time to get used to this game, also this is a great scenario!

[@christiancraig2326]

I thought the FIRST PLAYER has to resolve fights during the event phase?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Sure? Not sure what happened as I recorded this months ago but I agree

[@christiancraig2326]

​​@@OneStopCoopShop you drew an event card when carpenter was player one, then said the cook was gonna fight lol hey I just got this game I'm learning, I read the rules like three times so I get confused when I see one break haha love your videos man

Nice!! Have fun!!

[@ThiagoSantiagoTS]

Colin, have you played Paleo? It gave the same vibe as RC.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yes I have and I love it! Prefer that one coop to solo though! This one I think I like better solo

[@KniaziuM]

Ha, what a coincidence, I've just dived in to this game again after few years break 2 days ago, and we managed to save Jenny. Too fiddly for my taste to play it regularly (we were checking manual like every 5 minutes), but like it nonetheless.

[@theguitarexplorium]

But if you played it regularly you wouldn't need to check the manual every five minutes 👍😂

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yeah it's one of those games where if you play it a bunch the fiddlines goes away! Thanks so much for watching!
