Northwest Playthrough with Campfire Tale Cubes | Bits & Biology

Description provided by Bits & Biology on YouTube:

Welcome to Bits & Biology, a channel about board games from the perspective of a biologist gamer. In this video I play through a solo game of Northwest with the Campfire Tales cubes. Movement and scoring are the same in the multiplayer and solo games, so if you are interested in the multiplayer game, you will get a pretty good idea of how it plays in this video. Timestamps can be found below in case you want to skip around. Let me know you liked the video by giving it a thumbs up! Have you played Northwest? What do you think of the game?
