Verdant Arizona Tutorial, Playthrough, & Review | 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 show you how to play Verdant Arizona, followed by a solo playthrough, and concluding with my review of the game. The solo game plays just like the 2-player game in terms of player turns, so even if you are wondering what the game is like at 2 players, this playthrough should give you a good idea. Timestamps can be found below in case you want to skip around. Verdant Arizona is a drafting, set collection, and pattern building game for 1-2 players. Let me know you liked the video by giving it a thumbs up! What do you think of Verdant Arizona? What other games would you like to see on the channel? Let me know your thoughts in the comments below!
