Tutorial & Solo Playthrough of 20 Strong - Solar Sentinels - Solo Board Game

Ойындар

In this video, I teach and play through the Solar Sentinels version of 20 Strong by Josh Carlson, Salem Scott, and Shannon Wedge, and published by Chip Theory Games. 20 Strong is a solo game system of using 20 dice to overcome challenges and defeat a final boss. The base game comes with Solar Sentinels where you are trying to fight off an alien invasion.

    Thanks for this video. I missed the discarding a card at the end of each round rule and also forgot to cancel enemy effects once they were defeated. I used the same hero as you, but got destroyed because I did not defeat any enemies that gave extra recovery and got super low on dice and could not get enough dice back to claw my way back into the game.

    Hey mate, great explanation, but in case of the Boss fight it was my understanding, from the rules video, that enemies will not call for extra enemies, that effect is cancelled in Boss fight. Minute 14.50

    that was correct. The Solar Sentinels deck specific rule states during cleanup to discard one of the top non mandatory cards. With the Solar Sentinels deck you can go into the end game anytime once a stack is empty so this helps you get there

    Yup, 100% right! And that's exactly why you do it, but I was so focused on skipping the after effect. 😆 For some reason, I struggled with the flow of the turns for this game. So, unfortunately I may miss discarding an enemy or recovering dice. Great catch!

    @Novuzu that's a great tip! I haven't decided on the others yet. I usually only make tutorials for base games, and, fortunately and unfortunately, I have a lot of games show up recently that I'd like to make tutorials for. I'm not opposed to it though 🙂

    As I understand it, the critical hit is one "hit" that does two "damage." So, each die can only ever count as one hit. I could be wrong, but great question!

    At 44:45 when you "defeat" the boss, you count 9 damage, why? you have 3 crit, which total 6, and 2 hits, that's 8 damage, no? where does the nineth damage comes from ? Edit : HOOOOO The Blood Thresher ability last for the whole engagement, it's not one use effect (ie, all red hit you deal during the apply phase does 3 damage).

    Ahh, yeah. Fun fact. When I was editing the video, I thought I counted wrong too, until I rewatched that part. 😆
