VALERIA CARD KINGDOMS Solo Playthrough with Higher Difficulty and other Cards

[@rickytan7101]

Thanks for the vids Dale. Watched all your Valeria videos and just ordered my copy. Literally just got into board/card games so can't wait for this one!

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Ricky Tan Hope you enjoy it as much as me! I really do love the game. :)

Another great video. This one kind of made me change my mind about the game. Need to look in to it. That art...just awesome!

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@writerguy911 The art definitely pulled me in for this game, but have really enjoyed the game (although some plays have gone really easy, but that's welcomed after a hard day at work). :)

Thanks for showing a play through with the suggested increased difficulty. Your play matches my own experience, of completely decimating the AI, and I venture that this would have been the case even if you added the Dark Lord Attacks rule. That is why I had to come up with my own way of increasing the difficulty further as well as trying the solo variant listed on BGG.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Functional Kali Yep, this one went pretty good for me too. Still haven't had the opportunity for a multi-player game. How have you multi-player games gone?

[@amitversion2]

@@DaletheCasualGamer This game really shines in multi player. I think that the issue with solo is with the second harvest phase. It becomes too easy to accumulate tons of resources - particularly by buying citizens that will immediately produce goods in the second harvest. I would like to see you play the co-op campaign in solo mode, as that would make a great series of videos. It would be really interesting to see whether you can beat the challenges and bosses!

Fantastic video thank you!

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@JC Grumpf Thanks for watching, and happy gaming! :)

[@kmontzka]

Nice to see the increased difficulty. That looks more my thing than easiest. A few more interesting choices to be made

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@Karl Montzka And if needed, there is yet another step to increase the difficulty even more. Thanks for watching!

[@JJEMcManus]

Watching the distribution curve of the probability of two dice grow on a table, oddly satisfying. I really liked seeing the powah of more than +10 magic points unleashed but that sliding counter card has got to go. I knew a cabbie who could shortchange himself too. What does the final VP tally mean? You’re 40 points more…?* *taller, wider, mpg (city), fruit filling

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

There's no fruit filling here! ;)

[@JJEMcManus]

Excellent! Let’s see what you can do on the interstate.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

​ @JJE McManus The state of PA has pictures of me on the interstate. They took the picture without my consent, but apparently it was over the limit. Gotta be careful on the turnpike!!

[@francoisgermain3991]

After my first 2 plays on easy mode, my second game was like 127 points for me VS 17 points for the AI.... After seing your video, seems to me that something is broken in how you count the points for the AI, it seems difficult to lose..... Next time, I'll try to also count points for the Dark Lord card with the remain citizens in the stack.

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

Yep, trying the additional items to up the difficulty might be needed. :)

@@DaletheCasualGamer Hey Dale, THANKS for the vids. I REALLY want to go all in on this one for SOLO ONLY, but, would you say even with all the variants, it's just too easy to be interesting ?

[@DaletheCasualGamer]

@@jgboutilier7560 I haven't played the hardest solo variant, but really enjoyed the Darksworn campaign which is solo or coop. Even went well with my game group. Did I mention I now own everything for this game! lol It's definitely not a heavy game, but it hits the right spot for me. Right now it's $25 at miniature market for the 2E core game ... so pretty low cost to try it out. Hope that helps, and happy gaming!

[@jgboutilier7560]

@@DaletheCasualGamer Thanks Dale. Same here, $30CAN. But, I'm not looking to get into Darksworn (which I know adds to the challenge). Really just looking at the standard game and add-ons. Might just have to get a shot. Keep em coming !
