[@tommattson3145]

An excellent playthrough. Those minis are stunners too. Basically, I love everything about this vid.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

This game is my new top game of 2021 and its probably going to be a forever game is just that good!! LOVE IT!!!

[@CanjeStudios]

Thank you for this great playthrough. Gets me even more excited for when it delivers. Great work as usual!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I hope it delivers soon! It's worth the wait!

[@stevekingswell9143]

Great run through, I played this scenario yesterday (first learning game, ever) and got a few rules wrong, and died due to running out of endurance. So virtually no spoilers for me from this watch. I mistakenly reduced endurance every time I took a distress (lol). Your rule following was very helpful. I didn’t get a structure node until the 2 mid-columns of the map. Can’t wait for my next run.

[@timcastle5441]

This was a great play though and rules explanation - thank you for sharing!

[@joyrichardson6943]

I’m so grateful for this play through! We have played twice and failed both times but we were misunderstanding some of the rules/mechanics. I am excited to try again now with the notes I took watching this video! Thank you for sharing!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Glad I could help and thanks for watching!

[@MvnBF]

Just played this game and have to say it is excellent, the best part is the text we read for things, makes the experience so much more enjoyable and affecting. Your vido was great, watching you play helped me realize the base mechanics were simple to learn, hard to master. Thanks!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Awesome! I totally agree and good you enjoy the rest of the planets!!

[@DJ-jq3pm]

Looks fun! The trays and other components give me The Reckoners vibe, I like it!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Ohh totally! What a great point! The game is incredibly good!

[@revbrentcolby]

Fantastic playthrough. Thanks! Playing this scenario tonight... I just watched a few turns to make sure I understood the rules right. I'll have to finish your video after out game to see how we did!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Nice have fun and good luck!!

[@revbrentcolby]

@@OneStopCoopShop OK, we made it through... kind of. We were discovering the nuances of the rules as we played through. Didn't do everything properly throughout the entire first round. I'll call it a win, but I think technically, we would have lost if we had played a few of the rules properly the whole time.

[@MrEric180]

Thanks for this Playthrough, good job! Please show us more of this game…love it! ♥️

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I'm playing it with my wife tonight! Love it and can't get enough!

[@JohnClem56]

Thanks for the playthrough! One thing I noticed though is I think in Round 7 you took an action to analyze data and picked up data on a node with the player character (Sophie, I think). Only Luna can analyze data and the node Luna was on did not have any data on it. So, without that data you wouldn't have been able to use the tractor beam to have Luna pull Sophie to the ship. I don't think it would change the outcome since you had plenty of endurance left to get Sophie to the ship on her next turn anyway.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Ah yes I need to make note of that! For my first few games I thought you picked up data not Luna! Thanks so much for watching!!

[@JohnClem56]

@@OneStopCoopShop Yes, it's one of those rules that can be easily overlooked in the midst of the game. Similarly, Luna cannot gather materials. Only players can gather materials. That didn't happen in the playthrough, just commenting on it in case anyone happens to be confused about it or possibly missed that one as well.

[@stevekingswell9143]

@@JohnClem56thanks for the helpful confirmation

[@dru288]

Two years late but I think first turn has a mistake. Fungus "places" you to an adjacent, it does not move you. So you would not generate a spore which is generated by moving. Also you would not get edge effects if you were placed into a location.

[@AlCann-x6i]

I would have played it this way as well.

[@sandrabasel1545]

I might have to unsubscribe from the one stop coop shop. I promised myself not to buy more games for a while (no more space on the shelf, not enough time to play anyway) and then first Mike makes me want to play valor&vilainy and now you show me this.... I love the humor, had to laugh out loud at the tiny tentacles. Thank you for this beautiful and engaging playthrough.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

HAHA Valor is another great one! And I think one of the selling factors to me of this game IS the humor and writing, I can hear the designers in it and it makes me laugh every time. Gotta love it! Thanks so much for watching Sandra, and we understand if you need a break from the channel HAHA!

[@baredas]

22:55 There is actually a revealed adjacent node since the Scarab counts as a Node in the context of effects that impact "adjacent" nodes (p.38 )

[@yerel_nimni_avni]

Great playthrough. Definitely enters into my wish list.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It's one of the best game experiences I've had in a long while! Hope you can find a copy!

[@newguy2878]

Thanks for these videos. This just went live on gamefound and I went all in! I really like your enthusiasm when it comes to some of the games. You have talked me into a few great games and I want to thank you for that.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Oh that's awesome!! So glad to help and I hope you enjoy this one!!

[@wyatth2992]

I'm still relatively new to the hobby. Would you share some of the other great games that he helped you discover? I could definitely use some more great games in my collection, and having an already existing, well explained walk through is always helpful. Thanks for any info you can provide!

[@newguy2878]

@@wyatth2992 Xia, Star Trek frontiers, Mechina Arcana. Honestly my favorite right now is dead reckoning. It really depends on what types of games you like. Best thing to do is join a discord. This channel has a great one and so does the "foster the meeple" channel. What types of games do you like?

[@wyatth2992]

@@newguy2878 I'm not sure what type of games that I like. It seems like the most important thing is what I can convince other people to play with me. Lol I found The Dice Tower and was amazed at everything board games had to offer. I went to Amazon and bought way too many games, most of them junk. Then I found Kickstarter, which took another large bite into my wallet. I'm finding that I'm mostly able to table games that are relatively lightweight and quick to explain. I've had a lot of success with Downforce, Project L, Clank, Dixit, and Betrayal. My girl likes Wingspan, even though I'm not too impressed by it. I've had minor success with Windward and Planet Unknown. Gloomhaven flopped, even with me doing all of the bookkeeping and MOB turns. Pandemic had some moderate success, but I can't keep them interested in Pandemic Legacy, which baffles me. The King's Dilemma was a hit for a few sessions, then interest fizzled among the group. The grandkids really enjoy Dodos Riding Dinos, Sleeping Queens and Sheriff of Nottingham. I guess what I really need to do is find a dedicated group, but I'm always interested in finding a great game.

[@trepanator6]

I play it as a campaign game. Special abilities/traits are bound to specific person, which if dies - the ability is lost for this campaign. And all the Tasks AB&C are narratively "simultaneous", so playing them with two characters each time I risk to lose up to 6 people on the specific planet.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

That is such a great idea!! Thanks for sharing!

[@stevekingswell9143]

Great idea, do you increase the difficulty for subsequent tasks/planets if you start with the advantage of retained breakthrough cards etc?

[@Dreamshadow1977]

Just played my first game of this with a friend and we played Wenora B. Managed to win and I loved it.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

That’s great!!

[@gameworkcreate]

Played this planet and task last weekend, was very enjoyable. Hope to get to another one this weekend.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Its great! Hope you enjoy another play!

[@tknpickle]

Great playthrough, and expertly filmed. I want to know about your experiences with other modules now.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

So I've played 6 times now but all Wanora. Going to try a new planet this Friday! I'll report back then!

[@williammyles]

Looks so great looking to pick up second hand too 😊 thanks so much

[@OneStopCoopShop]

My favorite game!!

[@dankone1289]

Found my way here after watching your last podcast with games of the year. Seems like this is the game I wanted ISS Vanguard to be. Missed out on this but there's a reprint coming next month probably Orange Nebula said. But I did sign up for their newsletter if they get more in after fulfillment is over.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I agree that was the reason I did not back iss vanguard. I feel like this game scratches that itch! Thanks for watching and listening!

[@pencilpauli9442]

Many thanks Colin, enjoyed the playthrough. Thought this looked like a really cool game when Markus played it. Sadly I don't think I will get it because it will need the expansions imho. So I'm totally not jealous of people who do get all that shiny xenomorphic sticky goodness! And who doesn't love Luna, the cutest most helpful bot ever! lol

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks for watching Paul! While I agree the planets will provide more replayability, the base of the game is still pretty great. Worth at least 10+ plays. Then the new planets only cost 15 bucks I think? I personally love this! Just need the game to finally deliver in the US to make this happen. Thanks so much for watching!

[@pencilpauli9442]

@@OneStopCoopShop I thought the expansion packs were more that that... Hey...stop trying to make me cave in, Colin! Get thee behind me Satan! lol

[@OneStopCoopShop]

According to the boxes they are! Give in! Peer pressure!!

[@stevekingswell9143]

@@pencilpauli9442don’t forget, each planet (2 in the box) has 3 scenarios each playable at least twice plus you can increase the difficulty and play a 3rd time or more. So that could be say 4 plays times 3 scenarios times 2 planets = 24 plays, and if you do them on rotation you’ll be familiar but not remember everything. Plus the anomaly cards and breakthrough cards are drawn randomly, so will vary each game a bit too.

[@bramvansprang]

Perfect thnx 🙌

[@jgjertsen]

Please do a video on how these minis were painted. They look amazing, especially LUNA's eyes!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Haha I didn't paint them but I agree they are awesome!

Not a problem glad to help!!

[@bradleak1465]

I need this game lol now 😂 so wish I would have gotten this at gencon so hard to know what games are when you don’t hear about them.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I think once it delivers in the US it will be available on their website. But I will say I personally LOVE IT! Huge recommend from me!

[@mm678]

Sooo helpful to watch after making it through the rulebook. Great video! One question, in what instances would you want to go for a second copy of a specific comprehension? Are there ever prerequisites with multiples, or is it sometimes that you prefer another of a specific type of breakthrough?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Certain scenarios require more than one comprehension. Also it gives you another breakthrough of the same type which can be super helpful!

[@marvsolarsystem1841]

Awesome play through! I’m anxiously awaiting the reprint. This game looks so cool! Have you continued to play a year on? Have you attempted any other planets?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I think Colin played all or almost all of them, and we both went all-in on the expansion - Mike

[@je_mere]

Really interesting i wanna check it

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Feels so unique and I love the puzzle and exploration!

[@toddiverson5981]

This game looks fantastic. What comes in the box? All figures? Are planets sold separately? What else should I know before purchasing...when it becomes available?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

2 planets are in the base box! The other 4 you have to buy seperate. Everything else is in the box but not painted!

[@dsbrothers2898]

Hey can you do another play through of Die in the Dungeon. I want to learn more. Thanks.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Colin's not on the channel anymore. You can find him with Bairnt at Meet Me at the Table if you want to ask there.

[@jgjertsen]

Great video. On that final turn, Discharge Hormonal Blast action, seems like it could have pulled both Explorers, because that's what a standard Traverse action does, right? No tractor beam needed. Also, have you ever played this scenario with 4? I seems a lot easier with 2.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Good point! And I have with 4 and we destroyed it. Kind of depends on the nodes I think!

[@jgjertsen]

@@OneStopCoopShop Good to know. If we lose too many more games with 4 I may ask you to post a video winning with 4 ;)

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Hahahaha!!!! I get you! Some scenarios are easier at 4 than 2. The next planet Grakkis. Task a is much easier at 4!

[@jgjertsen]

@@OneStopCoopShop thanks for giving me a little bit of hope but Grakkis A felt even more punishing than Wenora A. It feels like a lot of luck with regard to node placement, anomalies, and breakthrough draws.

[@bradleak1465]

Have you played this with others yet or just solo? If so how was it? Definitely looks good as a solo

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I have already played 7 times now, ranging from 1 player to 4 player. Sweet spot seems to be solo to 2 player. 3 and 4 player work and actually work well once the game gets going but it is slower at the beginning as players do not have the breakthrough cards. It also lends itself to alpha gamer hard since all information is open. With that being said, this one is a HUGE hit at the Degnan household, and will not be going anywhere anytime soon!

[@adrianpillai6645]

How is the table spread for Solo? Is it really a table hog?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Unfortunately yes its a table hig mostly because of all the trays. You could maybe play without them but everything is organized in the trays!

[@grog3514]

Seems like there is a lot of book keeping to play this game.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Book keeping? Not much in my experience (at least not in my definition of book keeping). Things tend to flow from turn to turn very smoothly, though it does depend somewhat on the planet you are playing.

[@patrickpoh9]

When i play this game, i feel like im in the Interstellar movie🙂

[@OneStopCoopShop]

[@BG-Orion17]

So is this the only scenario in the first planet? How replayable is this game if we are going through the same story each time?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Nope there are 3 scenarios per planet!

[@BG-Orion17]

@@OneStopCoopShop thank you. After you play the three scenarios per planet, do you find the game to be still replayble with those same scenarios after? I just discovered this game due to your video. Thank you for the playthrough.
