Strange World Above the Clouds — Solo Playthrough | 4x4 Grid Builder

Description provided by One Last Hand on YouTube:

Welcome back to One Last Hand. Here’s a full solo playthrough of Strange World Above the Clouds — a 1+ player grid-building card game where we’re constructing a 4x4 world above the sky. In solo, we draft from seven stacks of three cards, placing tiles orthogonally to build mountains, forests, grasslands, water, moons and volcanoes. We’ll also be trying to connect portals to score with travellers — while avoiding triggering the World Eater, who devours badly placed cards. Scoring comes from: • Largest mountain range • Water adjacency • Grasslands • Unique forest animals • Moons • Dark Cities • Travellers (if we connect portals correctly) The aim? Build the highest scoring 4x4 world possible before the World Eater ruins everything. BoardGameGeek: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/449185/strange-world-above-the-clouds Enjoyed this?
