Hi Johannes, great game thank you for posting. I was forced to do some crazy moves, taking risks because I realized that I need some luck if I want to win. After C1 it was looking grim for me haha. Definitely a big mistake with the mine placing on 5, not sure what was I thinking. Good game!

Hello Andrii (I hope I've written your name correctly). Thanks for the game! It was quite criminial how well I've rolled in Phase A. Should have mentioned that a bit more haha. Yeah, I agree on you having to take risks. You've exploited Yellow Tile 3 really nicely. I liked that! You've also threatened multiple strong colors, which is a good way to complicate the game in a way and provoke mistakes. And then I've blundered, which you took great advantage of. That shows, one should never give up, because we are all humans and can blunder at any given time. Besides, how was my pronounciation of "Ya pobedil"? I've practised it a lot with Google Translator. I loved saying that, because I love the pronounciation of "pobedil". Especially the "dil". Good game!

The return of the king 👑 Well played! Yellow tile 6 did a ton of work that game. I’ll play a CoB game this week to celebrate!

Thank you, Sam! You are still the only victorious guest challenger in this series 👑 Yeah, an early Yellow Tile 6 for the first player is extremely strong, if that player can still prepare 2 Silverlings and 1 or 2 Workers for the next phase. It's also really powerful for the 2nd player, if they have a very strong silverling engine in any way. Makes them nearly impossible to be blocked and they can surprise the first player with some moves that the first player didn't see. Another bonus is, that if any tiles that help yellow tile 6 to improve shows up, it's a win win situation for the yellow tile 6 player and tough to handle for the other player. Can't wait to see your game :)

Thank you for yet another wonderful analysis! It's great to see how different each map can play in this game...There was a youtuber recently that bemoaned the lack of balanced strategies in Castles. When you look at competent players like Pistol Star or even people who have played the Burgundy many times (hey Mom!), you will find that this game is about as balanced as they come. I've sold this game two times (idiot), bought it back two times because I could not get it out of my head. Eventually it shot up into my top ten games of all-time, only to eclipsed by the game of Go and Race for the Galaxy... I will take die Burgen to my grave. *Cue dramatic music*

Thank you very much for your kind words! I'm very happy to read that. I agree, that the different boards and their different challenges (often unique challenges due to present tiles, dice rolls and active abilities) make this game so special and keep the replayability sky rocket high. It's like improving little by little on each board. You can effectively be a master on board X while being light years away from being a master on board Y. I find that quite fascinating and it shows in my humble opinion how well the game has been designed.

Well done! That's quite impressive considering you've only played a couple of games prior. I realized in the last couple of days that the work I've done on the Yellow Tiles Tier list is actually too inaccurate, so I think I would have to do it all over again 😅🥲 I'm not sure if I will ever do that, because it's a ton of work and consumes a ton of time to do it properly. But I guess it's more likely than not. A video about probabilities is my current project. I'm not sure yet when I will have the time to complete that video though.

Next time it would be nice if you shortly explain the yellow tiles, not everyone (including me 😉) knows the numbers. Anyway great vid

Thank you very much for your feedback, Mike! That's much appreciated and a great point. I will definitely do so. I'm thinking about explaining each newly appearing yellow tile at the beginning of each new Phase, while hovering over the given tile. This enlarges the tile and reveals an explanatory text, so that everyone who isn't familiar with the tile can pause the video and read the explanatory text as well.

@@_DaemonCleaner Thank you very much for your feedback and your compliment as well! It's much appreciated and a great point. I guess I've cut the video a little bit too aggressively 😅 I've noticed what you've mentioned as well and will next time pay more attention to that. It's always a thin line between making sure the video length isn't too long and to not cut too aggressively. In real time I was talking way slower, but I cut out all the "Umm's and when nothing was being said. But I agree that it's good to give the viewer a little more time to let a more complex explanation sink in. So I believe adding a bit more time after each sentence does make sense in these instances.

About the length problem. It would be so cool if you maybe start a series with shorter videos where you only cover a specific topic, e.g. a series about the tiles would be awesome. Hopefully you find some time to do more videos. This game deserves more content ❤️

@@mikezulu6720 Thanks for the suggestion. I've got a quite long list of content ideas and also worked on one topic a lot already. So stay tuned for more 😊 Not sure though, when I will find the time to finish said video. I agree with you, that this game deserves more content.
