  • I really like this sort of solo progression, will definitely try to unlock all the achievements in flamecraft when it arrives
  • @kayla6953
    I love that a lot of board games have solo mode to them now. Let's me enjoy the game without needing to ask someone else to see if they would like to play a board game with me.
  • Flamecraft seems to be very interesting. Thank you for bringing it to my attention. It’s definitely something I’m willing to look into.
  • @mattlowder
    Thanks for the video. Wish more solo videos came out during the campaign. Very very happy to get this soon. Much love!
  • @bjornthebold
    Thank you so much for the video! I really like that Peter did the video himself.
  • You and Quackalope must have the same interior designer!
  • @beakerkell
    Love the idea of having achievements. It's probably not a new thing by any means, but there aren't enough! Can't wait to try it out! :)

    I really hope Rodney Smith does a how to play video for this game. 🤞☺
  • So on your last turn, that plant dragon was supposed to refill the open slot in town right? So the potion dragon should have been the one that you put into one of the shops. And there were no potion enchantments so none would have been cast and it wouldn’t have triggered the end of the game. Let me know if I understood this correctly. But it seems like you should have had at least 1 more turn

    Ive just grabbed the game a few days ago and been playing non stop after watching some solo plays. Insane few game scores!! ( and i messed up a few times, would backtrack, but was very careful once i finally acheived achievements and played slower to make sure no mistakes happened)

    So far my scores have been: 71, 60, 77 (1st achievement!! Took Glitter Bomb), 63, 99!!!! (Took master of markets & mistress of festivities), 47, and now. A whopping 120!!!!!!!! I had insane luck of dragon drawl where they didnt match the enchantments for a while as well as the dragon alley and maw&paw were both out and frequented. Turned in 12 coins at end of game and aquired 13 fancy dragons. (Only 1 not scoring; Matches, since i fully scored Shimmer instead) my starting dragon hand also consisted of 3!! Potion dragons. This was insane. And somehow, the red Meat dragon meeple never came out to town. (I played as Bread dragon). I have no idea which achievements ill unlock with this, but im loving the gameplay 😊

    Thanks to this video I just learned that there is a crucial information missing in the German rulebook concerning the end game trigger in solo mode. The German edition doesn't mention that the game also ends if you deplete the enchantment pile, it only states that the game ends if you deplete the artisan dragon pile. Guess I played my 2 solo games in an easier mode, then...I think in both cases, the enchantment pile was empty before I drew/flipped the last artisan dragon card.
    I'll put that info up on BGG and maybe you can do an official Facebook post regarding this issue from the German rulebook?

    Well I found this video because I was just wanting to play this game solo!! What a challenge. I didn’t end up doing so well. I only got 65 points. Not even enough to unlock anything yet!! Oh well it was fun. I think I need to rethink on my strategy for sure!
  • Hey! Great to see this being played, can't wait to get my package! I was searching for the card sizes, is there any info about that? In the FAQ I saw that it was an approx number and was posted last year, so I'd like to know how many cards to sleeve and what size. (Deluxe ed.)
  • Thank you for the Solo gameplay.
    What is the Discord link for Flamecraft ?
    Does Twinkle gets 2 just for the Enchantment placed or does it have to be two in order to get the 2 points?
  • @Funkypanda87
    Just as an added difficulty, would it be possible to choose the pink dragon to play as (KS exclusive) so you're versing all 6 dragons, and not the 5 you're playing against? Just a thought.
  • @ColasTeam
    I love playthrough videos! Something I noticed while watching...Am I wrong to say that it looks like the playmat is optional? I'm wondering because not packing it during trips could maybe allow to make the game more portable 😁
  • @icalculi
    great vid! although i don't think you're supposed to refresh enchantments immediately after your turn. it is moved to step 5 in the solo guide/card
