John Company 2nd Edition - PART 2 - Solo: 1710 - TURN 1

[richk]

imma keep repeating what everyone else has been saying. the favor tokens has solved something that felt unsolvable, which was to automate negotiation mechanics in a game. previously, if there was any negotiation involved in a game, solo seemed impossible to emulate that experience. this looks great.

Loving this Rick, can't wait for my physical copy. That Crown is a bit tricksey though.

Ordered the game because of the outstanding playthrough (which I started watching after someone mentioned how good the solo implementation is). I own Pax Pamir too which I love (solo as well). This game is quite different of course, it seems so unique, a true work of art. It'll be delivered here tomorrow, can't wait!

[beakerkell]

Thanks for this playthrough. It will be really helpful when I get my copy!

[Autotross]

Wow, I watched 3 other videos and still didn’t have a clue how this game worked, but after this I feel like it would be second nature. Nicely done!

[leehutchinson]

Your videos are always sooo clear and you've made an intimidating game accessible thank you

[papanovember]

I do love the way the promise cube economy mirrors how things would be between players. "Yeah the Crown's pretty annoyed with me right now, " you say, looking at your zero promise cubes. Well, you did just bully her presidency into spending all its money on a failed invasion of Madras....

Enjoying this! Thanks for yet another great playthrough :)

[professorhuggins]

I am finding this run through to be very enjoyable. As always, you make me want to dip into the wallet Ricky!

[jackrutter]

1 hour into the video, and you've convinced me to buy the game for solo only. "Dam you, Ricky!" (said in the voice of Bianca from Eastenders)

[-Markus-]

Simply the best solo system ive ever played!

[gidiyaniv]

Thanks Ricky. In the last step of returning the writers, are you suppose to remember where they were?

[ekted]

The climate design concept is nice. You have essentially given the AI a dynamic play style. I think more games should have this, maybe even in multiple dimensions: friendly, submissive, aggressive, vengeful, introverted, trickster, heroic, petty, calculating, intuitive, etc. And if it's done right, the player(s) don't even have to know "what it's thinking".

Quick question - where did you get that dice tray from? Also - Great videos - found these really can't wait to play my copy now

[randomnamegenerator]

Finally got my tracking update today. No arrival date yet tho

[warlordi]

I would like to see a playtrough with deregulation and firms.

[scottronics]

29:20 do they transfer 2 writers if 2 writers existed in the madras area? So does the crown try and repeat the top priority action multiple times before moving to the next one?

[demo]

Hi Ricky, so the initial starting "5" that is in the company balance is assumed to be sitting in the Company's bank account somewhere ready to deploy (as it has not been allocated to the visible treasuries)? You take 10 debt, but deploy 15 in funds, so I am just assuming the starting "5" is sitting in an abstract bank account.

[marioabadfernandezdelacigo]

Is this the same 1710 setup that for a multiplayer game? Because I would have sworn that Punjab had no flag on its dome in the setup card.

Wold u care to make a tutorial on how the Elephant moves, in a given situation? I cant grasp the movement. I read trough that rule 3 times already.
