Solo Playthrough 1 | Dorfromantik: The Board Game

[@SirThecos]

Note: At 17:12 I'm counting a non-connected tile for a mission, which is not correct. Also, at 33:53 I'm breaking the river in the bottom right. Of course, I'm not allowed to do so.

I was thinking "oh I don't need this game" watched your play through "hmmm I think I might need to rethink my past decision 🤔" 😂

[@SirThecos]

I wasn't sure myself whether I'd like the game enough. I really do, though - it's a nice design. ☺️

[@kmontzka]

Thanks for the playthrough. It really helps understand the flow of the game, and I can see I (and my family) would enjoy it! I have completed all the scenarios for Cascadia, so this looks like a perfect next step in tile laying :)

[@SirThecos]

I'm glad I could help! 🙃

[@natalicharuel]

I really like your videos, you explain games fantastically well

[@SirThecos]

Oh, thanks - that is so amazing to hear! 😊

[@d4rk0s]

42:55 You get it as soon as you reach it, you don't have to do the "jump" over it :) thanks for the videos :)

[@SirThecos]

Nice, that makes sense. 😁

[@Thagrynor]

Definitely should play more. Would love to see more of the campaign. 😊

[@SirThecos]

I'm pretty sure I'll continue recording the game. 😁

By not talking about flags until one finally showed up at 31:00, weren't you somewhat understating and underplaying the strategic placements? One would want to plan for their eventuality, perhaps identifying which areas you will try to score for each flag type, giving them room to grow, while also making sure you can close them off. Flag tiles include Grain, Village and Forest ... so ANY tile placement that includes any of these elements has to include consideration of flag scoring ... yes? You often in the video talk about tile placements "not mattering" but they DO! On another strategic note, seems like you missed some plays that could have set up longer RR and River scoring for the longest. Thanks for the clear teach and great playthrough!

[@SirThecos]

Generally, you'd be 100% correct. I'm calling these videos playthroughs for exactly the reason that people don't get the impression that this is a teach of the game. Surely, you can learn how to play the game by watching the entire video but it's not really intended for that. Had I made a How to Play video instead, I definitely would have had to talk about the flags at the very beginning. Also, I definitely don't play the game as strategically as I could. 😅 I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 😊

[@brandefelt]

33:53 Are you allowed to break the river you already had on the board? Thanks for the video! It seems like a game for me and my kids.

[@SirThecos]

Oh, no - you're right! I definitely made a mistake there - I'll add that information to my pinned comment. Thanks for letting me know!

[@winterzee]

17:19 I think you counted a tile you shouldn't have to get 5. You end up using the same village for 5 points a bit later. Correctly that time.

[@SirThecos]

Oh yeah, you're right - I really did. 😬 I added that correction to my pinned comment.

[@worab1]

Another great video, thanks buddy, have a great day, be well.

[@SirThecos]

Thanks, you too! 😊

[@DarkAddictionYT]

When you start, the first 3 turns only require you to place one task tile. Starting with 3, makes the game harder than it needs to be. After the first 3 tiles you then need to then build up to three tasks.

[@Januchta99]

81+30=119. Yyyy, nice one

[@SirThecos]

It's actually 89+30 - I guess that handwriting wasn't readable enough. 🙃

[@travelinwithTODD]

if i clear a forest that's lets say for 6 points. and then draw another task tile forest tile for 5. i cant score the 5 if i have more than 5? does that make sense!

[@SirThecos]

Yes, that is correct - you always need to score the exact number. So, in this example, you'd have to start a new forest or extend one that has less than six tiles.

[@emmahunneyball2990]

Do you think there’s a place for both this game and Cascadia in a collection? They both seem similar in terms of tile placement, linking terrain and balancing specific scoring criteria.

[@SirThecos]

Yes, definitely. The main reason being that Dorfromantik is a cooperative and even more relaxing game. But I definitely still prefer Cascadia.

[@ameraceffj]

in the campaign, it says to randomly remove 3 landscape tiles when you add an achievement tile. does that mean remove 3 each time that you add a new tile or just the one time?

[@SirThecos]

No, just at the beginning of each game.

[@yonathor]

Hi. I played the game and I unlocked the extra tiles. It says remove three landscape tiles, but do they mean per special tile each or three landscape tiles in total?

[@SirThecos]

Three in total if I am playing it correctly.

[@Flip5ide]

I'm getting this for my birthday next week 😁, so might not watch all of this

[@SirThecos]

That's cool - have fun playing it! 😁

[@chuckm1961]

I am dying of curiosity to understand this comment. Why would you not watch all of this ... because you are getting the game?

[@Flip5ide]

@@chuckm1961 yup
