Watch “Playthrough | Between Light & Shadow: Chapter I – Dawn,” a gameplay video for Between Light & Shadow: Chapter I – Dawn from Sir Thecos on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Sir Thecos on YouTube:

In this solo playthrough + review of Between Light & Shadow: Chapter I – Dawn by Boardgame Racoon, I dive into a complex solo experience of dice manipulation and placement, resource & equipment management, and branching encounters. After the full playthrough, I share my review with key takeaways on difficulty, decision space, and who I think this is for. Description on BoardGameGeek: "Between Light & Shadow is a complex solo game full of adventures, tales and brainburning mechanics. Combine, manipulate, and place your dice skillfully, use your equipment and resources smartly and choose wisely on encounters and each of your tasks. Each chapter can be played separately or as a coherent campaign, each offering different mechanics and new challenges." A huge thanks to Boardgame Racoon for providing me with a review copy!

About Between Light & Shadow: Chapter I – Dawn, from BoardGameGeek:

Between Light & Shadow is a complex solo game full of adventures, tales and brainburning mechanics. Combine, manipulate, and place your dice skillfully, use your equipment and resources smartly and choose wisely on encounters and each of your tasks. Each chapter can be played separately or as a coherent campaign, each offering different mechanics and new challenges. In this first chapter of the game series, you have to stop the servants of the Shadow trying to bring back their master in various scenarios. Or experience the whole story through the eyes of different characters in the chapter campaign, where each of your decisions along the journey changes the world for the next sessions. While having this world-changing legacy element, you don't have to destroy any material and can reset the game anytime you want.
