Solo Section: The Old King's Crown (prototype)

Description provided by GIVEPAUSE hobby on YouTube:

PLEASE NOTE: prototype copy used, provided by the publisher. Hello! Welcome back to Solo Section, the show where I teach all about the solo modes to games I love, but with a somewhat unnecessary music pun because I'm a band director. This time around, I'm taking a _deep_ dive into all things solo mode for Old King's Crown, a grand world for tense cardplay to ensure your faction ends up in the seat of power, now that the kingdom is kingless... but instead of sitting across the table from your friends, I'm teaching all about the Simulacrum. So if you don't have an hour to dedicate to learning the multitudinous details of this incredibly robust solo mode, please use the extensive list of timestamps below to jump around to the sections you're most interested in! As I was lucky enough to receive the second wave prototype of OKC (the one with the solo mode), unlike the way I handled the world of the ROOTbots, I decided to include EVERYthing in this video for two reasons: so potential backers can get an all-inclusive video all at once in order to better understand the systems currently in place to make their backing decision, but also due to the fact that some of these rules and maybe even components will surely change between now and production, so I can make more of an itemized video series once I receive my final game (cuz you better believe I'm a day one backer), once I know it's locked in. Thank you again Eerie Idol Games for entrusting me with this incredible world in a box, I hope these videos will prove helpful to get the word out! Enjoy!
