This is a narrative campaign playthrough, and this episode brings us to the final scoring of my garden pond. I walk through my tactical choices, some admitted rule fumbles, and the ultimate result of my first real attempt at the game. You can find the full Koi playlist here: [Playlist Link] Koi is a tile-placement game where you are tasked with creating a tranquil pond. You'll place koi, build shorelines, add lanterns, and manage your resources to create a thriving, beautiful environment that scores big on victory points. In this episode, I learn the mechanics in real-time, struggle to optimize my limited storage space, and try to chain together lanterns and koi placements to hit my secret objective cards. In this video we focus on: - Learning the core loop: Meditating vs. Working - The tactical challenge of pond tile placement - Using lanterns to maximize scoring across rows - Balancing koi purchases with garden expansion - The final garden scoring and reflection RULE GOOFS / HOUSE RULES - I initially forgot to claim the luck tokens generated by placing lanterns. - I mistakenly placed a few tiles without fully optimizing their adjacency for the water lily scoring.
