YRO Playthrough | Brian is Smitten

About YRO, from BoardGameGeek:

The Sunrise Islands, home of small but fierce animal folk; The Wooden Conclave, that reunites all the magical creatures of the Forest; The Wandering Market, that travels and trades without rest; The Mining Company, where the inventors create new technologies; The Floating City, where Magic and Technology find their balance; The Dragon Knight, sworn protectors of the land of Yro. From these factions you will recruit members for your guild, to create a powerful party and complete the most rewarding quests! In Yro you have to recruit adventurers in your guild and place them in a 3x3 grid you build during the game. They all have a Combat Value, that will grant points each turn if higher than the opponents' one; they can grant you Magic and Technology resource points, that will unlock more powerful abilities Gold that will be useful to recruit more Adventurers and Victory points that will lead you to the final victory. The combat value of your party will be determined by the combat values of your front row of adventurers, and when you recruit 3 adventurers in a row that share a Faction and/or Profession, they will unlock a powerful bonus effect, so wise positioning will also be essential! -description from the publisher
