Hey Ricky, thanks a lot for these rules. Nice and streamlined while still being very challenging. Lost my first 3 games and enjoyed them very much. This justified acquiring them game mainly for solo, but it is so quick that I managed to "lure" my girlfriend into a game she also enjoyed. A great design for both the core game and you solo treatment. Cheers!

Thank you very much for this material and of course for the wonderful solo mode. I'm currently waiting for the delivery of my TKID game, which I will be played mainly in Your solo variant. So I'm learning this game by watching your games. English is not my language, and although the multiplayer game has simple rules, there are a few moments in solo mode that I don't understand. E.g 14:45 - when the AI has a Maneuver card, why do you only consider neighboring Essex areas (i.e.: Devon, Warwick and Norhumbria) ??? After all, the Maneuver action is not limited only to swapping cubes in neighboring regions ???

Correct me if I misunderstood please. So from what I see the tendency of the iA is always as a priority to eliminate or reduce majorities to 1. And as a secondary objective, try to ensure that there is equality of factions so that a French invasion can take place and thus end the game as soon as possible.

they will play the card; the AI will never Pass. i.e. they take option (4) in the solo rules: "4) lastly, they act in the region(s) nearest the top of the order below the one being contested, irrespective of outcome." If this helps you, then this is good: you need all the help you can get!

Got my copy set up and have started to play- Northumberland is the 1st power struggle. Saxon’s 1st card is Scottish Support but it’s already a Scottish majority in Strathclyde… so does that mean the Saxons do nothing except take a follower? The second card is Moray which also already has a Scottish majority. #4 Says to do a thing anyway in the top priority region below the one contested but the Scottish support card seems irrelevant no matter what.
@BoxofDelights
Жыл бұрын
The card must be carried out in full, so no matter what, they must place 2 scottish followers into a region that borders a region controlled by the Scots, and at the beginning of the game that is only Moray; so the Saxons must place 2 scottish followers in Strathclyde.

@@biffybeans Right: and it's only because the card says the cubes must be placed next to a Scots controlled region; and Strathclyde is the only one. The rest of the information is irrelevant. The Saxon's priority list is only there to break ties when they have more than one viable region they can place/move cubes to.

Hi Ricky i'm playing on rule for second editiion , i've a question : if in a region remain only one cube is considered a parity? In this case the France place a black disk? If so i ask me : the only cube that stay in that region is anyway representing a faction majiority so why there is an invasion? Thanks for response..
@BoxofDelights

One cube alone in a region is not equality/parity; no, that is a region majority:a majority of 1; so it will be controlled by the faction with the one cube; there will be no French invasion.

I think you need to be more critical of games generally: NEGATIVES: 1. The box is RIDICULOUSLY oversized with 90% air. Needless shelf space needed to accommodate. 2. Wooden pieces are too small and fiddly. 3. The space for the token supply on the map is far too small and fidly with copious overspill. 4. Text size in the rulebook is far to small and ageist with font sizes of 5 and 8 for which there is NO excuse. Again. 5. Card quality is disappointing. 6. The supplied bag is far too small to get your hand in. You didn't mention any of that in the few seconds of this video I watched (I extrapolate accordingly). POSITIVES 1. Solid strategy game with lots of choice, reminiscent of a simpler Twilight Struggle vs Concordia. 2. Instruction manual is good at explaining gameplay (see above point re text being far too small). 3. Art work is lovely. 4. Nice, high quality board. 5. Value for money is OK, not great. 6. Included card varients extend game life.

1. Agree with the box size 2. I did not notice any problems with the size of cubes and discs. The draw bag could be larger 3. The space is not for all the token but for the cubes only and it is adequate to the size of the cubes 4. Text size could be bigger but I did not find it unreadable, at least not to much off the standard 5. Card quality is adequate considering the cards do not need shuffling. I am annoyed by the fact that the back are all the same, makes them more difficult to separate
