Xia: Legends of a Drift System | Scenario 1 Solo Playthrough | Fierce Fighter | With Colin

[@Fallub]

Colin + Xia is an immediate like for me - I am already excited before even watching it.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Haha!! Thanks so much hope you enjoy!!

[@corrado8955]

Colin is back with another Xia solo campaign! I am HERE for it.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Whoot!! Thanks so much for watching!!

[@mopperl]

I love putting these long playthroughs on before i go to sleep, thank you for adding another one!

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

My pleasure!! This is a good one hope you enjoy it!!

[@N1c0T1n3__]

Beats an audiobook anytime :D With Etherfields though, I was just too hooked because the game just "clicked" for me. I'm honestly surprised why boardgame channels haven't blown up. The content is always fantastic and for most people like me, it's always better to just watch someone else play the game.

[@kdlittle88]

I’m so glad to see you still doing videos Colin. When I saw that you were leaving OSCS I was quite bummed. Between the camera work, the teaching while playing, and your enthusiasm, I really think you are the best!

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Thanks so much!!! Appreciate you checking out the videos over here!! Bairnt and I have a ton of fun!!

[@KSpllr]

Thanks for another round! I am still waiting for my copy to arrive along with my Arydia pledge, as I was when you did your last campaign.😊 I am grateful to you for giving me a dose of Xia to shorten the waiting time.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

It's so hard to wait!! Appreciate you watching my friend and let's hope arydia arrives soon!!

[@elikurtz729]

Enjoyed this so much :D Thank you Colin! Loved your enthusiasm and think this game is great as sandbox space opera. So many options.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for watching!

[@josephspicer84]

Love all of your playthroughs, especially Xia. Glad you’re playing it again 😊

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Thanks so much Joseph! Appreciate you watching!

[@KevinHoekman]

This was awesome! You told your friends to were going to be rich and famous, but you didn't tell them that you'd become the most notorious criminal in all of XIA. Gonna watch episode 2 now!

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

This game is fantastic!! An easy top 5 solo game for me with the solo campaign it plays so well!! Thanks so much for watching hope you enjoy scenario 2!

[@KevinHoekman]

@@MeetMeAtTheTable Yep, the solo campaign is why I'm going to buy it.

[@dacrambo1]

Thank you for bringing back the Xia missions, good sir! Loved the video and looking forward to more!

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Thank you Steve!! Appreciate you watching!

[@erikjordheim6201]

Hooray! So glad to see Colin's solo play throughs now starting to pop ip on Meet Me at the Table! And now that we have a Xia playthrough... any chance we can get some Runebound play throughs coming as well!? 😁

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Oh yes!! That is in the works for sure! Need to get those classics on our channel!

[@davismcnevin8795]

Glad you are back with another SOLO campaign of XIA. OH, Colin! I so wish that you had seen that opportunity to shove the Enforcer into Ferren's Call. What a gaming moment that would have been, watching him get sucked into the black hole.

[@davismcnevin8795]

Scratch that. I forgot the NPC's are immune to anomalies. I've always thought that a bizarre misstep in the rules. Why wouldn't they be subject to the same laws of physics. I realize that they have no dashboard to track energy loss (nebulas), but they can take damage in asteroid belts, debris fields, planet shields, Xia.

[@davismcnevin8795]

I also think it would be thematic to receive a bounty (or increased bounty) for jettisoning a "Captain in Need" in the middle of space after having accepted the mission. Seems just RUDE! 😀

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

That would have been so much fun if we could shove the npcs down ferrens call... I might have to houserule that haha! And I do always feel bad when I chuck a captain in need.. haha!! Thanks so much for watching!!

[@scrooge-mcduck]

Used to play it to death when it came out. Tripled the number of tiles and added self-designed modules including aliens. Oh what fun!

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Aliens???? That's amazing!!! I want haha!!

[@thapananawapramote955]

Always a big fan of your Xia and MK playthrough Colin🎉🎉🎉

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Glad you like them! Thanks for watching!

[@garmit420]

Thank you for putting up another playthrough of one of my favorite games

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Can't stop won't stop! Love this one too much!

[@rd2234]

Hey Colin, really nice work. It's a blast to watch these videos and see what sci-fi space story emerges. Your production quality is great and your energy is top notch. I'm still figuring out how you decide what to do on your turns so quickly. :D

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Haha this video took 5.5 hrs to record! I decide what to do and edit out that blank space! I freaking love this game! Really appreciate you watching!!

[@spycom82]

Xia is such an amazing game to watch and follow. Totally love your second playthrough. Especially when you keep delivering those happy endings ❤ 😅

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Thanks my friend for watching!! So much fun!

[@hatchimmmmm]

My number 1 game.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

I can see why!! I love this one!

[@Brootal666]

wait, this is a new Colin Solo Xia!!! I thought it was the old one, count me in

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Heck yeah! Gotta play a new campaign on here!! Thanks for watching!

Another Xia campaign from Colin?? But Christmas isn't for another month! Thanks for the great content! Looking forward to my copy coming in a couple of months!!

You better believe it!! Thanks so much for watching and hope you're shows up soon!

I can’t wait for mine to come in. Been waiting for a long time.I bought it from the kickstarter

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

I sincerely how it comes soon! One of the best solo experiences I've had!! Thanks for watching!

[@WojoO]

OMG Colin plays Xia :D its like christmas in november!

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Merry Christmas my friend haha!!

[@bookaddict777]

Xia and its expansion remain one of my grail games. I am really hoping that one day I can get hold of the game at a price that will not break the bank. Thanks for the play through, Colin!

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

I hope so too!! It's worth it. Thanks for watching!!

[@khewit]

A reprint of Xia (with all expansions / add ons) was available with the Arydia kickstarter campaign, so hopefully when they deliver you'll be able to find some copies for sale.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Fingers crossed!!

[@arikwolf3777]

I have not heard of this game until now. And yes, it looks like a lot of fun. Apparently, other commenters agree. It has at lest 3 of my favorite mechanics: Miniatures, Random Hex Map and Dice Chucking different dice, not just the boring d6. Lot of ways to play with constantly shifting strategies. The best part of this play through, for me, was watching you played cat and mouse with the enforcer, completing goals as you ran from one hiding spot to another. Defiantly on my want list.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Yeah it's awesome, you have to continually re-evaluate your strategy and the npc's provide a great experience! Hope you can find a copy, you do need the expansion for solo play!

[@arikwolf3777]

@@MeetMeAtTheTable: Oh, I have and it and the expansion is on my wish list. Problem is its almost $400 and Christmas presents is going take my free (unallocated) money for December. I will get this in January.

[@sebastianrams5507]

Thank you very much for the video! What I don't understand at 16:15: The rules of the expansion say on p.6 under Rule Changes: "You don't need to sell all your Cargo Cubes..." So why does the card do so? ::

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

You have to sell at least 2 I believe and that card I think is from the base game! Thanks for watching!!

[@sebastianrams5507]

@@MeetMeAtTheTable Hi, thanks for your quick answer! I think it's a card from the expansion. Because of the blue icon bottom right and getting fame points for "Relics" and "Discarding 2 Exploration Tokens".

Got it thanks!

[@dayoltay]

hey Colin, which would you choose if you only had to pick one: Xia or SW Outer Rim?

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

That is a hard one!! I think xia wins it just because of the solo campaign!

[@dayoltay]

@@MeetMeAtTheTable thanks for the fast reply I always appreciate your taste 👍🏼

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

@dayoltay no problem!! I don't think you could go wrong with either one though but the solo campaign is so good!!

[@corrado8955]

Just FYI, the Far Off Games Xia FAQ says that on hard mode the Enforcer rolls an extra d8 for Martial Law not a d20.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Oh thanks for that!!! Good thing it didn't matter he would have WASTED me haha!!

if I ever play this I would want some beads to keep track of movement points after I roll dice for movement gain those beads then put them in a pile far away as I used them so no mistakes

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Haha!! Well they all are pretty good, if you have a suggestion let me know!

[@mithrandir510]

Game seems great, until you see that EVERYTHING you do will succeed or fail mostly by rooling a dice, not because of your skills :(

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

Kinda! But you can take calculated risks and many things are guaranteed. I really actually enjoy the dice in this one due to randomness in space!

[@corrado8955]

Game is space perfection!

[@mithrandir510]

@@MeetMeAtTheTable It seems a great game, if you like the randomness that can make you lose even if you play perfectly. But from I've seen in the video there's no way (or little) to improve your odds or mitigate bad luck (and I'm not against some luck in games).

[@corrado8955]

@@mithrandir510 Totally get it if any kind of luck makes you dislike a game. You mainly play this one for the fun and emergent stories and Xia provided it in spades. There are a ton of ways to score points and win as evidenced by Colin’s original play throughs on OSCS. There is actually a decent bit of luck mitigation even here in this video but you’re always going to have to rely on dice rolls to an extent. The GTS at the start mitigates bad engine roll luck. Having shields mitigates luck from environmental and combat. Going further upgrading your shields gives you a greater output range, and you can specialize your shields with an enviro shield that automatically rolls the highest value your shield provided. There is a mission computer that increases your draw to 3 which easily allows you to draw missions you want. And you can modify blasters and missiles with a piecer to partially punch through shields.

[@MeetMeAtTheTable]

You've got all of it. It's all calculated risks. But sometimes you get hosed and I'm ok with that!
