Tutorial & Solo Playthrough of 20 Strong - Solar Sentinels - Solo Board Game

[@CptBumFlufff]

Great explanation and playthrough, thanks for recording this. 👌

[@tabletopforone]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching 🙂

[@lithracSolo]

Daniel, my thanks for your clear explanations. I tried learning it only from the rulebook yesterday, but I clearly missed a couple of rules. You are very helpful!

[@tabletopforone]

Thank you so much! That greatly encourages me.

[@heatherprince3627]

Thank you! Just picked this and Arkham Noir up today. Was all excited to play, opened the boxes, and then my brain didn’t want to process the rules 😅. You do good work!

[@tabletopforone]

Thank you so much! Your kind words encourage me.

[@Austin-s1d]

Thanks for the tutorial . Just bought this game and ready to play now.

[@helenshepherd165]

Great playthrough, thanks😊 I'm hoping to try this on the weekend

[@tabletopforone]

Thanks! I hope you enjoy it!

[@travelinwithTODD]

wow, i like this game. using this system, they could add so many expansions to this. my copy with too many bones and the victorum expansions should be here soon.

[@tabletopforone]

Indeed, I believe they plan to extend it consistently. I hope you enjoy the game!

[@crippledfoxgaming]

I've seen this game advertised around social media and was really interested. Thanks for this play through, it looks fantastic! Your tutorials are always great and well put together.

[@tabletopforone]

Thank you so much!

[@MerlinsManor]

Thanks for this video. I missed the discarding a card at the end of each round rule and also forgot to cancel enemy effects once they were defeated. I used the same hero as you, but got destroyed because I did not defeat any enemies that gave extra recovery and got super low on dice and could not get enough dice back to claw my way back into the game.

[@gorkygorky]

You are a good teacher!

[@tabletopforone]

Thank you so much!

[@omenlostboy]

Hey mate, great explanation, but in case of the Boss fight it was my understanding, from the rules video, that enemies will not call for extra enemies, that effect is cancelled in Boss fight. Minute 14.50

[@tabletopforone]

Good catch, you are correct! Thanks for watching.

[@eliseparret]

Thanks a lot! My favorite solo game is ark nova. It would be really nice to win the giveaway 🎉

[@crippledfoxgaming]

I got my copy and did significantly less well than you. I watched again and noticed a lot I made mistakes. Thanks again for this, dude.

[@tabletopforone]

My first plays were not so good. I think I lost one game in three rounds 😆. Glad you found the video helpful! Thanks for watching.

[@VindoViper]

35:25 Are you allowed to defeat an enemy that's just in one of the stacks and not in the active area?

[@tabletopforone]

That was how I understood the rules, but I could very well be wrong here.

[@VindoViper]

@@tabletopforone I question it because most effects that interact with those decks call it discarding. You also get rewards for defeating but not for discarding.

[@tabletopforone]

@VindoViper Yeah, your question is quite valid. I forget what the reasoning was behind me interpreting it that way, but in retrospect I probably did it in error.

[@gdavid3583]

that was correct. The Solar Sentinels deck specific rule states during cleanup to discard one of the top non mandatory cards. With the Solar Sentinels deck you can go into the end game anytime once a stack is empty so this helps you get there

[@VindoViper]

@@gdavid3583 He wasn't at cleanup though. He was defeating an enemy due to the special text on the enemy he had just killed. The normal discard for end of turn cleanup happened at 35:59 as well.

[@theTayl0r]

36:46 Should you not have lost 3 health, as the red dice also rolled 2 hits (crit = 2 hits?)

[@tabletopforone]

As I understand it, the critical hit is one "hit" that does two "damage." So, each die can only ever count as one hit. I could be wrong, but great question!

[@theTayl0r]

@@tabletopforone thanks for the reply. Haven't read the rules yet, literally just unpacked the game this afternoon!

[@tabletopforone]

@theTayl0r You're welcome 🙂. I hope you enjoy the game!

[@theTayl0r]

Page 7 explains it - a crit is still one hit, but 2 damage👌👌

[@tabletopforone]

@theTayl0r awesome...thanks for looking it up. I want to say I had that same question when I made the video, but it was long ago enough that I forgot. Again, great question to ask, and I hope it helps others out too.

[@Novuzu]

Nice gameplay. The video came earlier than expected. @21 minutes, don't you recover dice if you let the enemy just hit you? I never skipped recovery in my plays.

[@tabletopforone]

Yup, 100% right! And that's exactly why you do it, but I was so focused on skipping the after effect. 😆 For some reason, I struggled with the flow of the turns for this game. So, unfortunately I may miss discarding an enemy or recovering dice. Great catch!

[@Novuzu]

@@tabletopforone glad I'm not alone struggling with the turn structure. Another quick tip: Always reroll the red dice in each remaining strategy phase as long you have no crit. Will you also upload gameplays for Hoplomachus and Too Many Bones?

[@tabletopforone]

@Novuzu that's a great tip! I haven't decided on the others yet. I usually only make tutorials for base games, and, fortunately and unfortunately, I have a lot of games show up recently that I'd like to make tutorials for. I'm not opposed to it though 🙂

[@leesweeney8879]

How made are the dice?

[@tabletopforone]

I'm not sure, sorry.

[@Poudigne]

At 44:45 when you "defeat" the boss, you count 9 damage, why? you have 3 crit, which total 6, and 2 hits, that's 8 damage, no? where does the nineth damage comes from ? Edit : HOOOOO The Blood Thresher ability last for the whole engagement, it's not one use effect (ie, all red hit you deal during the apply phase does 3 damage).

[@tabletopforone]

Ahh, yeah. Fun fact. When I was editing the video, I thought I counted wrong too, until I rewatched that part. 😆
