Yep, the 150 points before negatives at 33:01 were a math error. It’s actually 160 points minus 22, so it WAS your best solo game.

I'm just recently discovered that this game exists, and then to see this amazing playthrough has convinced me that it's worth spending the money to buy this game. How much fun it is to do all that strategy! Thanks for making this video!

I bought A Feast for Odin based mainly on your clear demonstration of game play and presentation. I enjoy your content and wish you and yours all the best . Thank you for sharing your passion for gaming.

Fantastic playthrough as usual. Thank you for making these videos.

Thanks so much for this! Great videos! Always easier to watch a playthrough then try and digest a rule book. Game is set up, I’ll try tomorrow!

Amazing video... This really reinforces... How badly I play this game. Can't wait to try again after having seen your strategies.

Great and helpful video! Cleared up a few things for me as a new player. Thank you 👍

Awesome, awesome, awesome. I just got this game in a math trade and it looked so intimidating but it really isn't. Well done.

great Playthrough

Sweet playthrough, as usual

Great playthrough! While I was watching it, I realised that I play way too conservative and that I really need to get my hands on those exploration boards. :-)

Thanks for the playthrough, it was very helpful! Would you consider doing a solo one for Ora et Labora?

Great video! I like all the solo play throughs you've been doing! A small suggestion is maybe try to keep the camera a bit more steady? Or just move around slower so it doesn't create as much dizziness. :) also at the end of this video, if you put the cabbage horizontally and use 1 coin in the feast to take out the meat, and use that to cover up the space with 2 -1 points side by side in the house, would that earn you 1 more point? Please keep up the great videos! :)

+Imaodehl there's a chance I might be zoomed a little, I was accidentally doing that for a short while until someone pointed it out!

Your rolls were crazy lucky, but great score.

Good job

I hope this is right for the solo game and admittedly I've just finished reading the rules. But I think you may have made an error when replacing mountain tiles. Page 11 states that when all but the last "2 silver" space are empty, remove the two silver and the entire mountain strip. You left it and I "think" that's incorrect. Happy to be wrong! It's around the 8:30 mark. Cheers and thanks for an excellent play through.

Hi Dave, there are a few hiccups in the rulebook that are corrected in the errata here boardgamegeek.com/filepage/138082/errata-and-faq-1st-english-edition you actually only remove the mountain strip when it's fully empty

Awwww sorry! I didn't know about the FAQ file. Downloaded and reading now... before the first game ಠ_ಠ Thanks so much for the reply. And again, excellent playthroughs which will really help being the rule learner/explainer person thing :) Please keep doing this - love your tastes in games and appreciate the hard work. BTW someone yesterday on Reddit described you as a mellow Rahdo (or something to that effect). I'd take it as a compliment myself, you received pretty good comments. :) cheers!

Great video. However, at about 25:30, you make an illegal placement of green next to green. Not sure if you corrected that later?

Also at 8:30 when you update the mountain strips, if there is only the last money token left on the strip it is removed in this phase.

Thanks Jarren :) it's a Sony CX450 handycam (or if you go right back to the early videos it's an iPhone....6 maybe)

At 21:05 you talk about the conditions for failure during your raid. Is it a roll of 5 that fails automatically? Or only if you can't modify it up past 5?

@slickerdrips

+Alex Nguyen if you can’t modify it because the cheapest tile is 6

Where did you learn to roll dice like that?! I'm jealous.

Hi Ric! I bought it in Essen but still haven't had the chance to try it yet - hoping to fix that soon :)

138 is just about the upper end of scores I've seen on this game, maybe nothing above 150? How easy is it do you feel to "max out" the solo game?

Great video Tom. But I think you added up your score incorrectly. Your total score prior to negatives came to 160 (not 150 as you recorded) so your final score was 10 points higher at 138!
