At 36:53 I love it when a plan comes together!

As a fan of this game, I'm really enjoying your enjoyment as you discover it! Your enthusiasm is infectious and your channel continues to be such a treat, Mr. Phour! Keep up the great work, my friend. EDIT: Whoa, awesome 3D-printed flying saucer, and contrary to your concern, it looks great sideways, descending toward the city. Aside from the problem with not having enough room underneath for the fighters, you totally should have used it!

[@CeePhour]

Turns out there are a few of these motherships to print, and I randomly picked the one that has the shortest ledge (at the time I didn't realize others existed). It does look cool, and it does fit into the box with the 3D printed insert (the most important feature as far as I'm concerned). Thank you for being here!

[@thecreeper6799]

Thank you! I hope u like it! And dont give up even if u get crushed, just keep progressing till the end. The 4 each add so much to the game.

[@thecreeper6799]

I think u make 2 separate piles, and choose 1 pile. Then out of the pile you chose, choose one to be destroyed and put the other set off to the side. I think it just gives you more choice. After u completed all 4 campaigns it's fun to pick and choose instead of picking shuffled stuff 😂😂😂 yeah I like it easy haha

[@CeePhour]

This game has been brutal! I lost by one single point in a recent game. >

[@CeePhour]

You are definitely supposed to do it differently, but I wanted it all to be random and on camera, seemed like it works either way. I am VERY excited to have "all the things" available after the campaign.

[@thecreeper6799]

@@CeePhour u did great! The game is hard lol. Campaign 2 wrecked me cuz of the randomness (I followed the rules too) nothing worked with each other very well but I still kept pushing to the 3rd campaign lol

[@MerlinsManor]

This is one of my favorite solo games. I need to go through the campaign again sometime. I enjoyed watching your playthrough. This game doesn't video well in that it is a very long thin game, but I like the way you set it up to video it better than mine (I went horizontal), but I wasn't sure if I could keep up with which column is which if I did it that way. You played well. Personally, I like to place a robot in one of those big research rooms once I am able to, so it can be a constant research that adds to other numbers for bigger research. Oh, and I really like your method for marking exhausted robots... I never liked the written rule of rotating the die diagonally as that is so easy to be able to not tell if a die is exhausted or not/ bumping it slightly to change it.

[@CeePhour]

I had the same battle - horizontal would be something where I would make so many more mistakes! This game will swallow your soul. I am so bad at it, but it is so dang fun. Lightning fast setup, meaningful decisions, it's a must-have game for the solo player.

I have the PnP version of this game before it got published. Didn't realize the game developed that much from the original. I may now just need to upgrade to the retail version.

[@CeePhour]

I can't believe how much they packed into this box. There's so much more!

[@thecreeper6799]

Did those 3 blue exclamation tokens come in yer box or did u 3d print them? My box didnt come with those 😮 My box actually came with another set of the 6 numbered tokens but in a tan color. They dont describe them at all in the books or mission cards and they are identical to the others. Weird

[@CeePhour]

They're 3D printed, I have a few of them in various colors because they come in handy. The other set you have is a backup set. You likely don't have it any longer, but on the sprue it says "DON'T PUNCH THESE OUT. These are backup tokens in case those in the first set are lost or damaged."

[@thecreeper6799]

@@CeePhour ohhh ok. It's been so long since I punched all of those out. Thanks again! Great playthrough by the way!
