Solo Playthrough | Food Chain Island (Button Shy Games on Kickstarter)

[@martalucas03]

You won the game with one stack, congrats! That was a clean playthrough, I might have to grab this game this Christmas, looks like a light yet thinky filler game :)

[@SirThecos]

It definitely is! 🤓

I love Food Chain Island! It's actually the game that got me to realize how great solo games can be. You are right, though, that it's prone to analysis paralysis, but I don't view that as much of an issue for a solo game, since you don't have anyone else that's waiting one you.

[@SirThecos]

Yes, that's totally right. 😁 Although, I do prefer my solo games to be less analysis paralysis heavy, but Food Chain Island is an exception since I really enjoy the game. 👍

I just got this as part of their last lighthouse kickstarter. Really enjoying it. Enjoying your videos!

[@SirThecos]

Awesome - thank you! ☺️

[@Gregtech123]

Great job! Nice tactics near the end

[@SirThecos]

Thanks! I was surprised myself how smoothly everything went at the end. Well, sometimes you just need a bit of luck I guess.

[@TheGamingWard]

Excellent video! Just got my copy in yesterday and love it

[@SirThecos]

Thanks! Yeah, it's a great game, even though it's quite tough I gotta say.

[@johnricker7064]

Great Job!! I really like your videos and hope you also do videos on Circle the Wagons, Skulls of Sedlec, Twin Stars and Universal Rule

[@SirThecos]

Thanks! Yes, I am definitely planning on playing more Button Shy Games - something along these lines is already planned for this week. Thanks for the input and for the subscription! 😎

[@billturner]

Thanks for a great runthrough!

[@SirThecos]

I'm glad you enjoyed it! 😊 I was quite lucky in this game, to be honest. 😅

[@gsatchu111]

Excellent playthrough

[@SirThecos]

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed the video. 😁

[@jay_cadiramen]

This was great

[@SirThecos]

I'm glad you enjoyed the playthrough! And yes, it went really well - luck definitely played a role. 😄

Only question you ate with polar bear twice at the end. Do the ocean cards override that?

[@SirThecos]

The last ocean card let me eat any animal, no matter its value. This is why I was able to eat the last animal. Is that what you mean? 🤔

[@cdouglas6]

@@SirThecos The polar bear's power doesn't allow you to eat with it twice in a row. You did. So the question is, does the Shark's power override the Polar Bear's power?

[@SirThecos]

That is an excellent question! Hm...I'd say probably not but I don't know. Maybe someone else has asked the question in the BGG forum of the game. 👀

[@emmahunneyball2990]

This game looks interesting, but I wonder what is the replay value like? It seems like the game would feel pretty similar each time you play it?

[@emmahunneyball2990]

Although I have to say I love the way the game basically tidies itself away if you manage to win 🤣

[@SirThecos]

Well, you do have the unpredictability of where the cards initially are. But yes, the puzzle itself that is presented is quite similar each time. I don't play the game as often as I used to at the beginning.

[@SirThecos]

You are completely right - that is one thing I really appreciate as well. The better you play, the less you have to clean up! 😅

[@apollonia6656]

Cannot find these wallet games anywhere in the UK.

[@SirThecos]

I think you can only order them on the Button Shy webpage but, of course, you'll need to consider the shipping costs. I usually add games to a Kickstarter project I back.

[@AlbinoMinecraft]

You doubted yourself (00:03:15). How shameful.

[@SirThecos]

Well, who would've thought I'd do this well without a plan? 😅
