I just set up and played a 4-faction game to try to start wrapping my head around the Clockwork 1 boards. I was the Cats vs 3 bots! I didn't finish the game but I learned a lot. Cool vid, I like your framed Scythe board lol.

Hi there :)
Thanks for the video.
Any recommended 1vs1 combinations (me vs a bot) to begin with? And maybe also unrecommanded? (Just about to start Woodland alligence vs the Marquise bot)
Have all expansions
Thanks!

I have since played Riverfolk in a multiplayer game and playing as the bot did help. Sorry again a out the lighting/quality being a little lower than usual.
