Solo Playthrough 1 | Sleeping Gods

[@SirThecos]

Note: In this first video of the series I have made a few mistakes. I am missing to draw any new skill cards - also, I'm missing a few other small rules that I'm mostly correcting in the video via subtitles. The next videos will definitely go smoother. Keep in mind that this is a playthrough and not a teach of the game.

Thanks for the video, I really enjoy your play throughs. The idea of a board game campaign work vacation is great!!!

[@SirThecos]

I know, right? It's pretty crazy but I'm glad I did it so I could record this playthrough. 😁

[@greatwhitedonkey]

@@SirThecos I am already scheming on doing a similar thing :)

[@SirThecos]

@@greatwhitedonkey Great idea! 😁

Hooray! Part of why I said sometime ago but I'd like to see longer-term games being played by you was because I saw this game in your intro video. One of several soloable games I've bought which I have yet to make space enough to play. Thank God for tabletop simulator.

[@SirThecos]

I was really excited to start bringing this series to you - I hope you're enjoying it! 😊 This game really does need a lot of space to play, although I'm glad with how compact I was able to set it up for this video. 😁

My favourite game of all time! I’m really enjoying watching the video. You definitely made life harder for yourself by not drawing (and equipping) ability cards. I also don’t tend to use crew for challenges in “mild” event cards as I find the fatigue isn’t worth the reward, and the penalty can usually be absorbed fairly easily. While you mention you missed a few rules, you did actually highlight some rules I’ve missed! For example I didn’t realise you could discard ability cards in hand in the Galley to remove fatigue, and I didn’t draw fate when allocating ship damage (I just placed it at will, unintentionally making life a bit easier for myself!). One thing I do find useful in this game is to always explore the port when I arrive on each page: you usually get a couple of quests that help decide where you’ll go next.

Also, I’m not sure you’re using the Deck correctly. If memory serves, you draw up to 3 tokens, take the rewards from one of them, but the damage from all that show it. Otherwise it’s way too easy to get resources which are thematically quite scarce.

It truly is an amazing game! And yes, I made it really hard for me by forgetting those skill cards. I promise: It will get better. 😅 I usually go into the ports as well but in this playthrough I'll be trying to explore as much as I can. Let's see how that will go. 😁
