Welcome back to the Game Garage! Okay, I know most/all of you watching this video (especially those reading this) are more looking forward to my teaching video for the Vagabot than an immediate rematch of the same play through. BUT it came to my attention that I made a huge goof and started the game with only 2 moles instead of the 8 I should've had. I feel like an amount of my difficulties may have stemmed from that, so I wanted to see if I could do better without "accidental hard mode" enabled.
This is Wednesday that I'm writing this, and I have the notes written for the teaching video and I'm amped for the next play through, and I _think_ I should be able to film those back to back either tomorrow or Friday. Either way, thanks for checking in with the Garage, enjoy the game!

\ ROOTbotics BASICS \
If you're not fully comfortable with the basics of the ROOTbots, here's a video all about that! This was the first video in my reboot of the whole clockwork series, entitled ROOTbot Academy. Enjoy!

\ BIRD ERRATA \
As I spent time explaining in the Electric Eyrie teaching video (episode 3), a major overhaul is currently errata-able by printing off a properly sized and font'd section of the board that lays out how to run the Decree. Here's the link to the BGG page with that file (all future editions of the Clockworks will have the changes included):

\ FLOWCHART \
And if you catch a glimpse of the inside of my Root box cover, my homemade Root faction flowchart (with major props to Tom Teaches for the better icons) is available to print and have with you at all times, in case you or other players are somewhat slow to choose a faction:
