TEND IS BACK! Hive Gameplay + Cellar Preview!
Transcript
A one, a two, a three. That's game, Bonds. Man, [sighs] what a round.
It was good, but like I wish I just felt like I worked so hard and not [clears throat] I'm not able to transfer anything over to a future game.
Yeah, cuz then we wipe fresh. Everything's brand new when we start again. Huh? I mean, that's the worst thing, but you know, we could just
Yeah. I I just feel like it took me so long. I was finally starting to build that perfect combination.
Satisfying, right? Just like one more round would have had it right there. One more round. Exactly.
Wait a minute. Wait. What if we had like a whole another What if we kind of just, you know, carried stuff over?
Yeah. What if it's like not just one game together, but three games back to back and we had our own storage system. Wouldn't that be cool? If there was something that you could just carry over, boom, boom. And then, oh my god, game three would be wild. Can you imagine? It would just pop.
I would get like 2,000 points.
Yeah. And that is with the seller expansion. Hello everyone and welcome back to the wolf pack. Today we're talking all about two brand new expansions to tend. First off is going to be the seller expansion. We're going to give you an overview of how that works and then afterwards we're going to show you hive and then play through a full game of hive. I am already shaking and quivering in my hands because Bons is so good at this game. It's not even funny how good Bond's been in this game. But there's a secret that I haven't told Bonds yet.
What?
And I'm going to tell you right now. So Austin
Mhm.
and Toby
Mhm.
two designers of this game. They told me some secret strategies.
Okay.
About how to play against bonds specifically. So I don't mean to flex, but I do have some insider knowledge. Okay.
Which can also play against me really badly. I don't know what you've heard, but I barely break 100 points in this game.
That's not what it says in the rule book because in the rule book I see Bonsinator and a very very high scoring number.
A very high score.
Yeah, I'm going to pop it up on the screen right now. 115 or something. It's crazy. So, we got records to beat. You ready?
I know you can do it. I know.
Okay, let's dive first into seller. Show everybody what's like in seller. This is a mini campaign of three 10 games that you play back to back to back. You're going to be aging or finding goods, selling goods in a market stall, and using storage for subsequent games. Now, for every beginning game of seller, everyone is going to actually choose a season card for seller. But we are going to show you the app today.
And you can do use the app on a desktop, too. It doesn't have to be on like a tablet or phone.
Mhm. And what's really nice is that the setup speeds up dramatically. You just push one button and it goes straight to round one, two, and three. And then it's already ready for you to try out the Hive seller expansion. You just for us, we're going to turn off the advanced cards. If you want to follow along for today for our Hive expansion, I'll pop up this QR code when we get there, but we'll put a seed here that you can follow. For now, we can turn on the seller companion app. It'll reset. And then again, you can just choose cards physically or in the app. and then select it and then done.
And one thing to note as well is there's two new expansions coming out. It's going to be seller and hive. You cannot play both of those expansions together. They are standalone with the base game. The other thing is when you play on the app, it'll be a little toggle. So, I actually tested it out. You can't toggle both of them on.
Oh,
so there's no way to like mess it up. One thing that the seller module brings is a storage unit. And this storage basically allows you to carry resources from one game over to the next. And you unlock each line with zenith bucks. So, for example, if I pay two zenith bucks in the first game, then I'm going to be able to here we go across my zenith bucks. Now, I'm going to be able to unlock that zenith buck for games two and three. So, at the end of game one, I would actually mark that in my two box right here. So, at game two, I know I can start off with it. Yeah.
And you're going to do that with all these resources. And this is going to help you for the following games to be able to upgrade your equipment really quickly.
You also get to use that same item that you unlocked in the same game. So, it kind of refunds you back. Zenith bucks. Zenith Bucks.
Zenith Bucks.
Are you part of the Zenith Corporation? That's if I was, it would be hidden information, right? It wouldn't be wellnown because it's just a low-key thing.
Yeah. I don't know if we can be friends.
We'll find out when we make caviar. Okay. So, then the next part about seller is that there also is a section here for artisan equipment. So, there's a ton of new items you can make. Let's look at the cheese maker for instance. We can make cheese now in this game. So to make cheese, you have listed items here that you've known already. So once you check off iron and rainbow rocks and milk and the purple blueprint, then you've now unlocked this brand new cheese maker.
Ooh. So then once you unlock the cheese maker, you now have this readily available. Now the question is, what do you do with that cheese maker? Now we're going to zoom in on the seller expansions. Well, here is where you get to refine your goods. So you'll notice here how cheese is available in this entire column, but you will only refine goods once at the start of each growth phase. So then once you unlock one of these expansions, let's look at the first one. Let's say I poured all of my Zenith bucks into this very first row. Now this row is available. So I can take my blue cheese. Can I have one blue cheese?
Yes, you can. Let me hand this over to you right now. Do you just do you just give me the a regular resource?
Feels so good.
Maybe maybe you shouldn't go for blue cheese.
You're going to take your blue cheese and put it into that
row. Then at the start of each growth phase, it's going to go one to the right and then eventually one to the right. Once it reaches a space where it matches that particular resource, you have now gained
cheese and you can use it right away. It is an artisan goods. So, this game introduces the artisan goods and there's a separate card here. Now, one thing that's really cool about it is if you ship it off to Zenith Corporation, they're actually going to be worth two points at the end of the game per square or per box versus the regular one point per good. So, you could see here that cheese would be six boxes. Okay, so that would be 12 points. That's a lot of points for cheese. or you can immediately turn it in and get six Zenith bucks.
And one other thing you can do with cheese is our final section here. Let's say you want to sell some goods, invest in some future rounds here. So, you can put your cheese into the market stall, which has a giant set of points. So, you notice here how there are tons and tons of areas that we can put blue cheese. Once you have marked off that entire row, then you've unlocked endame scoring for game three. How many points is that?
That's 60 points.
60 points. Okay. And it's not just rows, they're also columns. You could literally strategize the entire thing. And the highest victory point I see here is 165 points for that entire row.
Yeah. So, from scoring that we've heard so far, it goes all the way up to like 700, 800, 900 points for by the end of game three. It's crazy.
If I could breach 500, I'd be okay. One thing to note about each of these rows is you can only have one good processing per row. So if you have the first row unlocked and you have a blue cheese there, but it's not the blue cheese section yet, you can't all of a sudden add a geode. You have to be able to complete that or completely remove it and replace it.
Okay. And then there are also a couple of other things I wanted to circle back to. So for the artisan equipment, we have here a rock tumbler. So, this one is a little bit different because once you unlock the rock tumbler, you will actually put a rock into a refining area. So, can I have a a blue rock, please? Or a geode. Thank you. And then again, just like Von says, can't put it in that row that already has an artisan good. But if you've unlocked another one, say unlocked this one, you can then put the geode here. And then once it has been refined in the second growth phase, what's different is that you're actually going to be rolling two dice. And you're going to look at your geode card. You roll these dice and then you see what you get. So now I got a five and a wild. So I'll look here just like with fishing. So I'll take a five and then I probably would get a
a crystal for sure.
A blue crystal. So then that will be an available resource for me to use. So we got mayonnaise, pickled pumpkins.
Peter picked a pack of pickle pumpkins.
Impressive. Silk. We got I think my my favorite one has got to be the fish turning into caviar. We're board gamers. We don't even know what caviar tastes like, but it's funny to have it in the game.
You think we can afford caviar?
It's crazy. But we can in this game. It's a good way to check out.
I will not play a board game unless it has deluxe components.
Exactly. That's the only way to do it. We got blue cheese, wine, and then the geode that we just went over. That right there is the seller expansion. In general, you kind of spend game one setting yourself up for future games. You want to unlock your storage. That way, you have it ready for subsequent games. Game two, you already start off with a bunch of resources that you can use to upgrade all of your tools right away. And then by game three, you just pop off, sell all your stuff in the market stall, and score big points. And at the end of each game, you put it here in the brand new seller module to add up all your points, including the one with the market stall, and then most points wins.
Yeah. So, don't forget market stall is not scored until the end of the game and you're still playing the full base game of 10. They recommend not adding the advanced cards to your setup because then they'll kind of like it will take away from the seller cards that were added for this expansion. So, just a note about that as well.
Tim, what's wrong?
I don't know. I just We're making so many cool things like caviar and milk and stuff with the cows. I just there's something missing. And to be honest, I just had it. Honey, I can't imagine this game without honey. You know, it's just it's missing in my tea. It's missing in this game. We got bees everywhere in this game.
Wait, we have bees?
Yes,
we do.
Yeah.
Wait a minute.
You know, it's implied.
I got you.
Yeah,
we can actually do this. Let's do this. Let's make some honey.
Yeah. Is it possible?
I think it is.
How?
Wait a minute. Sorry, I have my allergies. There's just so much pollen in the air.
Yeah. What is that?
That's not seller.
It's It says pollen.
Oh, is that the brand new hive expansion that includes bees and honey and apiaries? I knew it. Okay. Intend Hive. Your goal is that you'll be able to cultivate bees that make honey, and you're going to be using these brand new bee dice that are used to earn rewards. And you also have some brand new upgrades for some core task actions.
Oo.
So, you got a brand new hive sheet bonds. How do these be dicey work?
Okay. In the beginning of each round, you're going to roll. The first thing is we unlock the bright yellow dye.
Mhm. The lighter die isn't upgraded until we have the enhanced apiary.
Then why are we rolling the white one every single time?
Because that's what the rules say, Tim.
It's also because just in case you're able to unlock the enhanced apiary, you'll be able to use that light dye.
Oh,
as an option.
Oh, I guess that's right, too.
But you're right, too. You're right. If we unlocked any of our current apiaries up here in the upper right hand corner, then we can use the bright die right now, which would be a number two, and fill it in any of those boxes one time. Each of those apiaries have their own number conditions. So, we're adding a new element to the game. We're actually adding in like numbers into boxes to create resources. It's so cool. Okay. So like the first one, the yellow one in the first apiary, every single number has to be different. So if I put a two here for this one, the next number cannot be a two. You'll see that in the gameplay shortly. Then in the second one, the blue apiary says all numbers have to be equal. If I put a two there, twos have to be in every single square afterwards. In the third one, the red apiary, there is a minor mistake here.
So here it should say sum is less than 11 for this
less than
prototype. less than greater than
opposite way. Last one, the purple one says that every number placed in this box must be greater than three.
Okay. So, this two couldn't go in that last box.
Exactly. So, that's how the apiari work. Now, once you have all the numbers filled out, you're going to be gaining that particular colored honey every single time during the growth phase. So, once I have yellow unlocked, I'll gain yellow honey every single time. Buns, what if I wasn't rolling the right number? Is there any way for me to change these dice numbers for the bees?
Yes. Yes, you can take Claritin because if pollen affects you like it affects me, then you'll be able to plus one or minus one to all bee dice once you unlock the pollen.
Okay. Now, the bottom left section here has a bunch of different upgrades. How do they work?
It's my favorite part, Tim.
Okay, you got this. I was reading the tending upgrades and there is a compost bin where as soon as you grow something and you have to pull the remove and remove the crop, you could actually re-roll it and if it's not blank, you could replant it in the same exact spot. It's blank. I'm not replanting that one. But that's an example of the compost bin. There's also a rake. If you're in the garden, you're like, you know what? And then you take the rake and you scrape it along the ground. You might be able to find a log or a stump. And you actually want that in this game. And so you need to unlock that using four jars of yellow honey and one zenith buck. And then every time you do a tending task, you can roll a dieice and see what you find.
And then some specific tools here, the axe hammer and the mining hook. So, for these, after you've unlocked them by turning in the corresponding honey and zenith bucks, it says after that mining task, roll a dieice. So, you roll a dieice and then depending on what you get, this is a wild. So, then I can choose
any number.
Man, you're so lucky with the dice rolls. When I rolled that crop to see if I could replay, it was blank. [snorts]
And you roll and it's wild.
Then for the axe hammer, I'll be able to gain one log.
Don't forget the base game of 10. There's still a lot that you have to manage and figure out on how to best discover this new land that you've landed upon. And how are you going to honor the Zenith Corporation if that's your true intent? But before I get into more lore, they've added new badge things that you can do called investments. So, as you're unlocking these medals on your main sheet from the base game, you can use some of those badges that you unlocked and those medals and you can invest them for the end of the game. So, for investments, it's really going to focus on medals. Now, before medals were just turned in for the Zenith Corporation or for working towards your whole badge, and those badges awarded you a ton of victory points. Well, in this case, you can actually put those medals towards your investment. And at the end of the game, per row that you complete, it'll either say plus one or plus two, and even the bottom one, plus three. Some of it requires honey. So, that's why it's the hive expansion. And you're going to add all those bonus numbers together.
So, let's say I have this row here, this row completed, I had plus three, and let's just say the plus two right above. So, I had plus five. Okay. Now, I'm going to count every single medal that I've unlocked all over my sheet. All over. There's a beekeeper badge right here. And then this section right here.
What if I unlocked four medals total?
Then it would be five because that's my bonus points. Five times four, which is how many medals you made.
So, 20 points for investments. It is what it is. It's an investment.
And then the last part of the hive module is the cargo pod. So here you do have different bonuses listed here. And then if you manage to complete that entire row, you will unlock more honey. And then to finally score, you will have your total from your manifest, your cargo manifest here, plus the pod, which is right above it. And then your investments, and this will be your final total for tend with Hive. Ready to do this?
Ready.
Okay. So first off, we are going to be using the app. gonna hit this button and go to turn this off and turn on the hive expansion for the seed. If you want to follow along and you think you can beat us, if you think you can beat us, you probably will.
You can beat us.
Yes. Then you can go ahead and scan this seed here. I don't know what the name for it was. I put Bons and Tim, but initially I put like Tim's highest score or Tim has the best farm. I don't know. Just they were too long.
Oh, is that the strategy you're going for?
So, I just wanted something shorter. That's why I put Bons and Tim to make it easy.
Okay. Okay.
And short. And then we can fill in our name, our username here.
You mean you don't want to put Bonsinator?
That would be funny. We should do that. Mine I'm putting beekeeper. The beekeeper. Just like little Jason Stathithm. You know, you never know who he is, but in reality, he's the same guy.
Oo.
I'm going to put 007.
Oh, so we're both agents here in this corporation.
They kind of inspired me. I like that.
And I'm also known as Bonds. James Bonds.
I really like that one. Okay, so we first start off with the neighbor phase. We both have four cards to start off with and then we only picked two. We discarded the other two. Then we're going to go into the scoring phase, which we're going to skip for now. And then we go to the setup phase. Prepare five new task cards. Oh, look at this.
Already done and set up for us.
Already done.
Then we go into the growth phase. We have no animals out or crops. So then we go straight to the task phase where we both do two tasks. Now technically you are doing the simultaneous, but we'll show you how we take both our turns.
Also, Tim, I noticed that on the app here already has our dice rolled. Do you want to use these dice for the app or do you want to roll the physical dice?
Yeah, let's roll our physical dice.
Physical dice.
We do roll this during the setup phase.
We rolled it during the example. Do you want to just keep it since we already did it? Let's keep it.
Okay. So, it's going to be a two and a four. We're not doing what the app says for the B dice. What I want to do, this is so exciting. So, I used two Zenith bucks from this right here. I'll try not to draw on your screen. And I unlocked the first apiary. I can immediately use the bright yellow dye. I'll write two right here. They each have to be a different number.
Doing the same exact thing. So, two coins using the two and the first one. That way, I have higher chances of it being not equal.
Okay. My second action will be tending. Before I take that action, could you please read me season one end?
Gain four points for each empty area in your cargo manifest of size one.
I'm going to do a tending action. I'm going to till. I'm going to till six times. 1 2 3 4 five six. Your turn.
Okay. I'm going to chop for mine. Second action. and we're going to go right along the road and unlock [gasps] an additional chopping action. So then we'll go again and go down. And I got a log.
You got a log. Good job.
I got a log with that log. I'm going to put it into my red one. Red apiary.
So Tim, we just finished round one. Now we're going to do our neighbor phase. We could replace them if we wanted to, but I like what I have.
Then we're going to do scorn phase. We're not doing that right now cuz that's only after end of round six for the first one. Then we're going to do setup phase before we actually pick up all the crop and animal dice if we had any. We're going to be rolling these B dice.
Go ahead, Tim.
Me now.
Ooh, a wild.
Oh, wild. I wish I had the enhanced sapiary. So, we can't use these B dice until we're ready and using our task phase. All right. So, that was the growth phase. We neither of us have any anything to grow right now. Yep. Not yet. River dreader. So, if we complete two chopping levels, we can do the bottom action there. And here, rake or forage feed unlocked. We could do the bottom there. Forage feed is a new one. Requires red honey. So, I don't see us doing that right now. Mhm.
And then rake, we need four yellow honey, which we also don't have.
Mhm.
But I'm going to go ahead and start by writing my number one down. And then what are you going to use your bee dye?
Yeah. Let's go one into the first one. First, I'm going to chop again. I'm going to go all in on chopping for now. I really wanted to do fishing, but fishing isn't popping up just yet. So, let's chop and go along the road. And we get an additional chopping. I'm going to follow the road again and I get another log. I'm going to put it towards broken bridge.
Oo, you're going to work on river fishing.
I really I really really want to fish in this game.
M. All right. I'm going to choose the tending option and I'm going to plant a crop. I'm going to plant a tiny little pineapple and I'm going to put on the first one right here.
Second action. I am actually going to do a fishing action which is here. So then I'll roll these two dice and we got a five and a wild. Yes. Which means So then I have a black five and then I have a wild. So I'll get this very first fish. So then because I have that fish, I now have this neighbor bonus which I'm going to give to
you. Thank you.
So because I gave Bonds the neighbor bonus, I'm now going to cross this out and I've gained a rock. I'm going to put one rock towards an investment. I'm going to go ahead and take my second gardening action and I'm going to tend until six times. One, two, three, four, five, six. Okay, that's done.
I'm scared Bons are going to be a farming master. That was our task phase. Now we go back to our neighbor face.
Okay, so you actually get to draw two new neighbor cards and keep one. I could replace one if I wanted to. I think I am going to replace one. Okay. And then no scoring yet because we're on round moving to round three. Setup phase. We roll the dice.
Roll the dice. I'll roll them. And then you're going to switch the page. We got a four and a one.
One.
Now we're going to do the growth phase. And I get to tick up my pineapple here and actually get a pineapple.
Oh, cool.
I was really hoping to get a pineapple here. Oh, I forgot. I forgot to use my gifted neighbor card from Tim. So, I'm also going to use that right now. And I could actually use it.
Oh, no. Because you have to use your gifted neighbor cards first and then you're going to replenish. So, I couldn't have used it on this cuz I just got that one.
So, instead, I'm going to use the fish to start working on my red apiary.
Smart.
Bam.
And discard this one. I believe I discard it. Now, I get a pineapple as well. Ooh. Oh, I can use a pineapple for an investment. What I'll do instead is use a pineapple and get two Zenith bucks and I will get an egg for my future chicken because the egg comes before the chicken. So, that was my growth phase and now it's going to be task phase.
And then doing that, you know what else reminds me of?
What?
Is that your upgrades now kind of interact with each other more. So, like the fishing upgrades,
the silty for instance, after you fish, you can tick up a crop or an animal. Ooh.
So, they work together now.
Ooh.
Okay.
Oh.
All right. Task, please.
Heck yeah.
I'm going to start by writing a four here.
Okay.
Bam.
Yes. I will follow you. Follow suit. Then to take our tasks, I'm going to fish first on my first one. So, let's go again. Back to the pond.
Four and a wild again. I'm going to get this little orange fish here, which is my neighbor bonus on my left side. Give that over to you.
Thank you.
And let's cross off a log. And I'm going to put it towards broken bridge. Then a purple passport. [gasps] I'm going to put this purple passport.
It's a blueprint, but I like passport. I actually like it better than
I want to be traveling. That's why. Yeah.
I'm put this purple blueprint towards an upgraded hatchet. I'm actually going to do a a mining action and I'm going to choose two plus mining levels or that card right there, caveisher. I don't think I'll get two mining levels. But if I did mining first and mining again, but I also really want to work on the gardening. Oh no, I don't want to start down this path of not being able to like figure out what I want to do. So, I'm just going to stick to mining. Here we go. Starting at the top here, if you've never played this game before, you want to get to the bottom of each card because it unlocks different fishing. And the brown path leads you to the quickest way down to the very bottom.
Whenever it has a plus one, that allows me to scratch off one more. And I got a stone.
Oh, nice.
I'm going to use a stone towards a fence. You know why? Why?
Cuz this egg needs a home.
You're right.
How many eggs can I fit in here? One, two, three, four. Let's do a whole bunch of eggs. I'm gonna do a ton of eggs.
I'm scared.
I have to draw it out. So, another tip, it's not in the rule book, but this is what I like doing. You can use like a different color marker or just put a dot with a black pen. But let's say you have like a strategy for how many animals you want to fit. I actually like putting a dot around where I need fences. And that way, I don't have to move my cubes over every single time trying to figure it out. I just already know. Yeah, it makes it easier.
I'm going to use a double coins, put it towards an upgraded hatchet.
Okay,
done.
All right, I'm going to go back to tending and I'm going to plant a crop and I will plant this pink one. How long is my arm? Oh my gosh, my fingers. Wow, that was ACTUALLY LIKE A DEXTER. WOW. THERE WE GO. There go. There we go. Wow, that was crazy. You have a whole beautiful setup going on here. All right, that's our task phase.
Neighbor phase. So, I didn't complete anything. I can use the gift. And I'm actually going to use it to gift you, but you can't use this until the following round.
Okay.
And I cannot draw two cards to replace this until the following round. Okay. What I can do is I can stamp out the two things and get those resources right now. And then you still have to draw your two neighbor cards and pick one.
Okay.
So, I unlocked a log and a purple blueprint or passport. We're going to go put that log towards the red thing right here.
Mhm.
And then the purple passport or see now I'm calling it a passport. Oh my gosh, you changed the game. It's me.
So, I'm actually going to put it towards, you know, let me try upgrading this 10 action. Bam.
We're scoring in three rounds.
So, I've I've sent nothing off to Zenith.
This is tough.
Yeah. F them.
Okay. Setup phase. Rolling time. One and two.
Okay. So, we have one and two. And then if you want to prepare those task cards.
Boom.
Easy.
Look at that.
And then growth phase. Take up all crop and animal dice. Bop. A bop.
Uhhuh. And then ones. We can't use that one just yet. Both of us.
Oh, for
for the be dye.
For the bee dye. I kind of wish we had pollen.
Yeah, it'd be a good time to have pollen right now.
Yeah.
Really good time for pollen right now. Okay, now we go to task phase again.
Task phase. So, do you have river fishing unlocked? Do you almost do?
Almost.
Two chopping levels. And that's about it. Two columns.
Do you have 12 tilled soil?
Ooh, I don't. But I could. Let's see. The ones on our paper count, I believe.
Uhhuh.
I believe.
Yeah, they do.
So, six, seven, eight, nine, 10. Lone. Oh, yeah. I have way more than 12 tilled.
Oh, you're going to get a bonus rock. Meteor.
Heck yeah. Bonus rock. Let's go.
Okay. Well, what do you want to do?
I want to chop. So, I'm going to take that action and go along the road. We've unlocked an additional chopping action. And then I'm going to go along the road again. And I got a log. With that log, basic woods for my second action. I'm take it back to back. I'm actually going to chop again. So, I can't go below here until my shopping has been upgraded. So, we're going to search around the forest here and go to the right. And we get a a stump. I got a stump. I got a stump. I've always wanted a stump. I'm going to put it towards my enhanced apiary.
I'm also trying to get a stump.
Let's go, stumps.
I'm trying to get a stump. So, I'm going to do my first action, which is chopping. And I already know that the the lighter path probably won't have a stump. And I'm really tempted to do something next to it.
Mhm.
So, I'm going to start next to it. And it was a log. No, it was a log. You know what? I'm going to use that log and I'm going to put it towards three fences for my egg empire. One, two, three. Okay. Okay, so that was my first action. And my second action is going to be to chop again. And you know what? I'm going to do the other side of the light fence cuz I still really want that log. Well, it was not a stump. It was another log. Yep, I got another log.
Okay, what are we going to do with it?
You know what I'm going to do with it? I'm going to plan for my egg empire.
Honestly, this is working out for you. I think you're meant to find logs.
One, don't curse me. Two. Three. Egg empire. You will be mine.
Those were my two actions.
How is it? Wow. We're about to be halfway through already. Okay.
Yeah. You don't want to mess.
Neighbor face.
Our score is going to like be around 25 by the end of this game.
I'm I'm not trying to flex, but I'm trying to be like around 27.
Okay. Then we go into the neighbor face.
Neighbor face.
Now I can use your gifted fish.
Yeah. And I get to draw two neighbor cards and pick one.
I'm gonna put in this little fish in my pod. Bons here. It says either three Zenith's money or three stamps. I'm going to do three stamps. One, two, and three.
Good job.
Swimming downwards.
Oh, yeah. It is like So, that was the neighbor phase. Now, we're going to do setup phase. Do you want to roll the B dice?
Yes. Four,
Tim. [sighs and gasps] I don't like that number.
Okay.
And then set up
round five.
I don't like their number either. [clears throat]
Growth phase for you. [gasps]
Bop bop. I get two fruit. I get a pineapple and a berry. However, they do have to be plucked. I was really hoping to have compost bin unlocked by now, but I don't. But you know what I do have?
Oh, yeah. I can turn in the pineapple and the berry and start working on some some stuff here because there were three victory points per square in my hive module in in my cargo pod. The other thing is do I want to work on the purple hive now because we're showing this expansion. I really want to work on those apiaries. So, I'm going to take this berry and I'm going to mark it off here and use my berry for that. Okay, for the purple apiary. And then I'll take the pineapple. And the pineapple is going to give me one green leaf. That could give me three victory points or two zenith bucks. I'm just putting that here. And pluck pluck. They're gone.
It's a lot of stuff.
That was a lot.
Okay. Task phase.
I'm going fishing. I'm going fishing. Can I come? Yes, you can go. I'm so excited.
Go. You go.
I'm gonna go I'm gonna go pond fishing. Okay,
I got a white five and a black two. I get a blue fish. I'm going to put
It's algae.
This little guy has eyeballs and a brain.
Oh, it's algae.
And I'm going to put this one right here in my cargo pod. Boop. Now, that one's going straight down. Now, two plus colors of goods in your cargo pod. Green and blue. I get a red certificate. That red certificate is gonna go for my equipment upgrade. Bam. Your turn.
You've inspired me, Bonsor. I need to get a plant. I need a plant. Okay,
that was really fun. I shall mine. I need stones for everything. I need stones for my enhanced apiary. I need it for my broken bridge. I need it for literally everything. So, I'm going to mine. So, start off in the first one. The first road is going to be a plus one to mine. I'm going to work to the right here. Yes,
you got it.
I got an orange and an upgrade finally.
Wow.
So, I got a rare copper, which means I will be able to unlock this one, which gives me a coin. So, I have a coin and I have an orange ore. Okay,
orange ore is going to go towards my upgraded hatchet. And then I also have one coin which I will again place towards my hatchet.
I'm going to do a 10 action and I'm going to plant a crop and I'll plant the berry that I just plucked. Set it to one and I'll place it right here. And then because I have 12 plus tilled soil, I gain a fossil. I'll use that fossil and start working on my red apiary here. Your turn.
Okay. I really wanted that red passport, but I need two different colors. My pod. I'm going to chop. Okay, straight up just chop. Chop my life away. Let's go to the right here. And I got finally a rare stump. With the rare stump, I get a Zenith coin. Zenith buck. So, I'm going take that buck and put it here towards my upgraded hatchet. And then with the stump itself, I'll put it here. Okay. That was your second action. I believe that is the end of round five. Neighbor phase. I'm not going to change anything.
I'm going switch out this one.
An egg. It's scoring time.
Scoring phase. Oh gosh. Oh no. I have zero.
I think I also have zero.
So what is scoring season one end card say?
Gain four points for each empty area in your cargo manifest of size one. We both have not done that at all. So that is zero for our
Sorry, Zenith Corporation.
Yeah, we're focused on the hive here. So, we're going to skip scoring then and we go into setup phase. Want to roll a dice?
Okay, setup phase. Yes, I'll roll the dice because I don't like your fours, twos, or ones.
Double wild.
A double a wild.
Oh, things about to kick up now.
Wish I had that enhanced a berry. We're going to continue with a face. And then we're going to do growth phase. I do have something to grow, but it doesn't give me anything right now. And then we're going to complete our two task cards. So, we actually
use our bees
and use our bees. We have our first hive card. It's a mining or fishing. And then it says three. Can I tap this? There we go.
Three plus colors of goods in a cargo pod. [gasps] I might be able to do that this round. You will be able to. with this wild. I'm going to put a three in here. And now we finally have honey generating every time.
I'll put a three also because it doesn't matter.
Okay. Super important to note. Every time you unlock a row, you should actually have had that honey. So, we calculated it. Bonds calculated it.
We calculated. We realized we've been playing on difficulty mode.
Look at that. Play extra road. So, we should have had three honey from this generating for the past couple rounds
for the top row.
Yes. But now we've just unlocked this honey,
the the bottom row.
The bottom row. Right now, we have four honey and then going forward, we're going to generate two yellow honey every round. So,
every single growth phase,
as of right now, we're going to start with four honey.
I'm putting one of my honey in the cargo pod
for me. I'm going to put all of my honey into the driftwood net. One, two.
Oh, what's a driftwood net? After a fishing task, roll a dieice.
Mhm.
I'm going to put it on rake. After a tending task, roll a dieice. And I only have three more honey. And I need four for that. But
that's fine.
Now, we begin our task phase again.
I want a stump.
Now, why do you need a stump?
Because I need a stump for my red apiary. I really, really want a stump.
I really want this two plus mining levels unlocked. So, I'm actually going to use this mining first. It's just a regular one. That's mine. Please unlock something. Let's go here. Yellow, please. It is not, but it is a blue stone. Blue stone into investment.
The first thing I'm going to do is do that one.
Okay.
I already have three colors of goods and cargo pod. So, I already know I can either unlock a honey or a purple blueprint. Do I want to go fishing and try to complete my neighbor bonus of one? Or do I want to go mining? If I go mining, then I might be able to continue unlocking my 10 upgraded tool. Or I could start working on my enhanced apiary. I'm just going to go I see a little bit of a background here. It's a stone and it's a upgraded mine level.
Yeah.
So I get a stone and I get a stamp here which gives me one zenith buck. I'll put the zenith buck right here on the rake. And I get a stone. I'm gonna use a stone. Don't think I forgot about you. I'm turning that into three fences. One, two, three. Only two fences left. And the egg empire will be mine.
You should have been double seven. The egg empire. That's a movie.
I should seven egg empire. I do get a honey because of that. And I will put the honey right here. Boop. I unlocked the rake. I like putting a little check mark next to the word just so it's easy for me to see that I unlocked that upgraded tool. And now after attending task, I can roll a dieice.
Very impressive pawns. You're scaring me. Now I will take my final action and do the caveisher. So I'm going to mine again and pray I upgrade just one time so I can take that pink fish. Let's see. So many options. Let's go left of the road. Yes. Oh my god. Yes, it is upgraded.
I swear to you. Look at that.
Wow.
A yellow rock. So, we're going to upgrade. What are the chances? One coin, too. So, first, since I'm upgraded to level two mine here, I'm going to take that coin. And I needed to finish off this driftwood net. So, after I fish, I can roll the dice. Then because I have two mining levels, I do have this pink fish to use, which is my neighbor bonus of two. Here you go, Vans.
Oh, thank you.
So now I gain a stump and I gain a meteor. The meteor I'm going to put towards my red apiary. And then I still have a stump. So then with my stump, it is worth two coins. So those two coins I'm actually going to put towards an investment. And we'll put it towards first row. I'm going to do chopping and I'm going to try, you know, I'm going to give up on this like side quest and I'm just going towards that lighter path.
Okay.
Okay. I get a plus one chopping action. I bet you anything that thing is a log. It's a log. But that log is going to go towards three fences. And guess what? My egg empire
is almost done. One, two, and I don't know where to put this last fence. I don't think I have to use it, so I'm not going to. And this egg
has begun.
It has begun. Neighbor phase. I can use this fish. I'm going to turn in the fish with the the cool hairstyle. And I'm going turn in for three zenith bucks.
Is that the blue one? Blue hair.
Yeah. And I'm going to go one, two, unlock another egg. Give me an egg. Put in my egg empire. It goes in right away because now it has a proper home. And I have one more coin left. I'm gonna start working on my upgraded tools here. Heck yeah. Bam. This one discards. You have to draw two and keep one.
I'll put a stump there. So that's neighbor phase. No scoring. Then we go to setup. So boom.
I'll roll the dice.
Four. with the bright dye and five with the white one. Now we're going to go to growth phase. Take up all crop and animal dice. Bam. Bury. And then pluck. Oh, I don't have my combo spin. And then I'm going to
The egg empire has begun.
Oh no.
I'm going to turn in one egg. B. There you go. You get it for next turn.
And that's going to I got to stop. I got a stump. I get a stump this whole time. So, I get a stump and I
unlocked. I unlocked.
NO, I WANTED THAT FIRST.
NO.
We also get honey because we're on the growth phase.
Yes. Two honey. Two yellow.
Two honey. So, you also get some for the first time doing growth phase. I still have one egg. Are you okay? Are you good?
[gasps]
I'm not okay. That egg is going to give me a coin. And that coin is going to go towards another egg. [gasps] You can't stop me. You can't stop me. All right. Now, I have a berry. And that berry berry could get me three zenith bucks. I'm using all three zenith bucks with this berry pluck.
Uhhuh.
And I'm doing bop bop bop. I just unlocked two more eggs. I'm telling you, I am a monster. There we go. My precious babies. It'll be okay now.
Four eggs. Okay. Well, I'm just going to use my honey.
Oh, yeah. I'll use my honey after
I'll use my honey for here. Axe hammer. That's me.
Okay. The honey.
Nothing as cool as you.
We have We have two honeys.
Yes, we have two honeys.
I'm doing rocksaw. Bam. Bam. Task phase. Oh, we have our dice as well. And oh, you want to roll dice? Oh yeah.
No, you already did.
Did you say we have our dice as well? I can't use my dice for anything right now. So what you say we for?
Oh,
we. Huh?
Flex so hard. Our season to end is gain four points for each good in your cargo manifest of size three. I am going to use the well feeder and mine.
Okay,
let's do this and keep hunting. So, I'm going to go along the road and unlock a blue stone and put it towards rear fishing. My favorite part is you out here just raising these chickens all like focused and perfect and I'm over here fishing and chopping wood just
like, you know, it's like a certain video game we all love. I'm going to follow the slight path here. It's going to give me a plus one chopping action because that's what I revealed. I'm going to go down and I get another log. I'm going to use that log. I'm going to use that log to start going for a trellis.
Second action is I'm going to fish and use my driftwood net. So after I fish, I can roll a dieice here in the pond. A one, two. So a black one and a two is the blue algae.
It has feelings.
Okay. And then I can roll a dieice again for my net here. And because I got a five, I got a stump for free with my net. And with my stump, I'm going to give you that neighbor bonus for two. So I get a bone with my red blueprint. I'm going to put it into my upgraded hatchet. I'm only missing one more ore left to upgrade my final hatchet over here. But I do have a bone. This bone is going to go towards generalist. And I'm going to pray and try to get the other two. Okay. All right. I'm going to do the tend action. And because I have my rake, after attending task, I can roll a dieice.
And it'll depend what I get then. So for my tending action, I am going to go ahead and plant this berry again. Yeah, I'm going do it. And then I'm going roll die. Depending on what I get, I got a two. That's going to give me a log. I'll put the log towards my trellis. Nice. My goal is to plant a trellis and then
you're about to get it
and then get a little wine berry and then I'm going to start working towards my purple apiary. Neighbor phase. I get to use this stump. I'm going to start working towards pollen. Plus one or minus one all bee dice.
Okay. I'll get a new one.
Oh, I have to also get a new one. Uh you can draw two and pick one.
Okay. And I'm going to place this other one that I had the egg. If I get this pineapple one more time, I may rage.
So, that was the neighbor phase, and now we're going to do scoring phase. We're not ready for that yet.
And then we're going to do setup phase. Do you want to roll the bees?
Yes. Okay, come on, beef.
A wild.
Oh, a wild.
That's really good for you.
Ooh, I'm putting a one. Uh, then we got to click that one.
Round eight.
After the set phase, now we're going to do growth phase. My favorite part is the Wii here.
These twos are going to go up to threes and not do anything. They're just roasting. Roasting and toasting. These ones are going to get me two eggs.
Roasting eggs.
Roasting eggs. Okay, I have two eggs to do as I wish with. If you never played this game before, in either your cargo manifest or your cargo pod, no matter what, you can't have two of the same color stamps touch each other orthogonally for different like if I have two eggs, I can't put them next to each other because it' be two greens touching. So, that is a thing. I am trying to complete a row because that row will get me a purple honey jar, which would give me a lot. It would give me four artisan goods, which are two victory points each. So, I do want them. Uh, also don't forget you have your two honeys. I have my two honeys.
Yes.
So, I think I mean we could just talk it out. I think I'm gonna just use both my honeys right now before using my two eggs.
Me, too. Mine's going to go towards the axe hammer.
I'm going to put mine towards the rock saw. Yeah. Okay. And then my eggs. I'm going to put one of the eggs and sell them. And I'm going to put it towards my rocksaw and I'm going to complete it after a chopping task. Roll a dice. Be a chopping fiend.
Chopping fiend with eggs.
Yeah, an egg chopping fiend. Okay. And then I have one more egg left. And I think I'm going to put my egg in my cargo pod. Boop. Go on, little egg.
Okay. Task phase.
Task phase. I'm writing my one with my honey. Bam.
I am going to do this again. Which means I'm going to pray I'm going to finish this prerequisite before I get to that one. So I really need to get river fish unlocked. I only need one coin.
Two coins.
Two coins and copper,
which I think is possible if I get the right goods. So I'm going to fish and I'm going to fish in the pond. So roll these two. Come on. Give me some good four in a wild. I have four and a wild, which is that little fish that I could get right here. Anyway, now that top little fish here is worth three coins. So, I'm going to get that one. And with three coins, first I'm going to put two coins into my broken bridge. One and two. I'm missing just one orange ore. I have one more coin left. Final coin is going to unlock my axe hammer. After I mine, I can roll a dieice.
Ooh.
Okay. And then that was when I river fish, I roll a dieice and see what I get with my net. A two means I get a log. Bon said I can use this log to make it into a coin. And then for one time and one time only, I can change that coin into a copper. And then with that copper, I can finally unlock river fishing, which means I can still get that bonus fish. Satisfying. So satisfying. I'm going to take this fish, which has two coins, and put it into my investment.
All right. two plus chopping levels. I might be able to do that. Yeah, I'll do that. I'll do a chopping thing. And I have zero chopping levels, but let's see. Rolling. I mean, scratching.
I get a plus one. And I get a coin. I get a plus one and a coin.
Nice.
So, I'm going to scratch this one right here. And I get a log. Okay. So, I have one log and one coin to work with. I'm going to put that coin right here on the trellis. And now I've unlocked one trellis. And I'm going to draw it right here. Let's see. That one goes right there. Yes, I'll draw right here. It's my first trellis. I don't think I've ever made a trellis in this game out of all the times I've played. So now I have a log and that log is going to turn into a coin with my corporate commissary. And then that coin is going to do something very similar. I'm going to take that coin and buy copper. So that's a one-time action.
I'm going to take that copper and I'm going to start working on this pollen again, which is plus one or minus one. I'll be B dice. I really want to work on that. Because I did a chopping task, I can roll a dice because of my rocksaw. I rolled a five. That's going to give me an iron, which is exactly what I needed for my pollen. And now I've completed a pollen. I have the pollen now, which is plus one or minus one to all B dice.
That was a very impressive action. High five.
That was That was awesome.
High five. Okay, second action. I'm going to do this one. Secret mine fisher because I'm going to fish. I'm actually going to even though I finally unlocked fishing, I'm actually going to do pond fishing again because I put the last fish into these two coins when I could have unlocked it in this red one. So, I'm going to try to get it this time.
Oh, yeah. Let's do it. Pond fishing one and two. Black one and a two. I got the blue algae thing. I will also roll a die to get some bonus actions over here. So, with the blue algae, we're going to put into basic fishing.
Okay.
Here. And then I also get to roll a dieice again to see what I get with the driftwood net. A four. A meteor.
Ooh.
I've always wanted meteors.
I thought you always wanted stumps. I've always wanted meters and stumps. Meter's going to go into basic woods here.
Okay,
done.
I could go fishing and try to complete this. And I actually do want the blue algae. Maybe I'll do that.
I like how you call it blue algae now, too.
Ah, they hit. I rolled a white two and a black one. I got the blue algae. Here you go. You get another card with potential blue algae. And that's going to get me one dot here, which will unlock a stone. Is I'm actually going to use the mining and put it right here. I'm going to see what these cards need. Gain 20 points for filling all edges of the cargo manifest. Gain four points for each good in your car manifest size of three. Well, that's not going to help me with a stone, but I'll put it down here at the bottom.
Neighbor phase. Use your gifted neighbor cards.
You didn't give me any. But you saved me for this one because this is exactly what I needed for my red apiary.
Thanks. You did.
And I also got an egg.
Egg.
I'm putting egg into my hive module. Now we go to the scoring phase. Nothing. And then setup. New task cards. Round nine. And
oh, it's a yellow five and a white wild. I really want to unlock this enhanced apiary. I know. It's needing ores.
Okay. Growth phase. You get two honey. I get two honey. And I also get an egg. But I don't just get one. I get another egg. And then these are going to flip to three, which don't give me anything. They're roasting and toasting. And this berry. Oh, you know what? When this trellis,
I I didn't put the trellis dye on it. I need to do that.
Okay. So that's also going to tick up. And I now I get a little wine berry thing. That one is going to give me a berry. And then pluck. What I'm going to do is I'm going to pluck it. Give the requirement to you for your future next round. What is this egg? Did you use that?
Okay.
So that's going to be for next round. Now I get two stamps there. This is where marking it on your round tracker will help because there's a lot going on for for me for this one. Did you want me to do it before you use your honey or did you want to use your honey right now?
I use my honey right now.
Use your honey. It's going to go into beekeeper here and then here.
Okay. So, for my berry, I did the neighbor reward. That's going to give me two stamps because it was hot pink. It's going to give me a fossil and a bone. I'm actually going to trade it in right now for mining stamps for the corporate commissary for Zenith. And fossil is going to give me two yellow. And a bone is going to give me three yellow. They can't be touching each other. So, I'll put them actually up here. And I'll do one, two, three for the bone. And then I'll do two for the fossil. I should have put it right there. I think that's why I wanted it up there.
Okay. Okay.
Cross it out.
No, it's fine. It It would look messy.
Okay.
Okay. So, I just turned in my two resources right there for my neighbor rewards. That card is done. That was the berry. Now, I need to use this wine. the wine. It's technically a a grape.
A special berry.
A special berry. That's going to go here for my purple apiary cuz I haven't forgot about them. And then then I have two eggs. The two eggs could give me two green or two coins. I'm actually going to use them for two green and put them right here in my cargo pod. Again, they can't be touching each other. So, I'm going to do every other one.
Okay.
So, those are my two eggs. Now, because they have the return arrow, they go back to one. My two honey are going to be for the hive commissary. And the hive commissary is going to go one honey and two honey.
Nice to fill in those blanks.
Yeah.
Okay. Now, we can insert a number for our bee.
Not that one. Neither of us have that one yet.
Sorry. This one. The five.
The five
if you like.
Why? Why? Oh, for the plus one minus one for the hive or for the pollen, you cannot make it go from a five to a one. Well, wait a minute. If we unlock the purple on this round, we could use that five right away.
Yeah,
I need a copper bar and an iron bar stat.
I'm going to fish. And now I can finally fish into my river fishing. So, let's roll these two. One and a black wild. So, white one. I can do any of these fish, including this secret elusive fish over here. that one. With that one and a five, I'm actually going to take that rare little pelican looking fish over here and let's invest it into advanced fishing.
Okay.
Boom.
I'm going to do chopping. I wonder what else is up here. What can I get? Let's start with this one over here. I got an upgraded one.
Mhm.
And it's a log. So, I get a purple. That's going to give me a dot over here under chop, which will get me my first level and a coin. So, I get one log and one coin to use. Right now, I am going to start working on an energy bar. So, that's going to be one. And then I'll turn in the log for another uh zenith buck. So, now I have two right there.
So, that was my chopping action. Whenever I do a chopping task, I can roll a dieice. I got a three. That three is going to get me a copper. That copper is going to go towards my purple apiary. Oh, wait. Two plus animal owned. I have a stump.
A stump. I should have turned in a coin and try to buy the iron. That was a mishap on my end. Now I could use a stump right now and get two zenith bucks, which could help me. You know what? I'm going to do it. I need that stump, but what I need more is this iron. So, I'm going to do that. And I turn in my stump for two coins.
Very cool. Plus, your upgrade reminded me that I didn't use my driftwood net. So, I'm going to roll this one real quick. I got a five, which is a stump, too, just like you. I'm going use my stump for two coins. And we'll put it towards here. Investments. Now, for my second action, I just took fishing. So, we have 10 10 10 and chop left. So, I'll take I'm going to take this one just to spite myself because I don't have two animals. The farm forester. I'm going to do a chopping action. And we're going to go off the bean path. Please upgrade. Yes, finally it is. So, it is a rare log cuz it's purple, which means I've upgraded my chopping action. I get a coin and I also have a log. That log is going to go towards the basic woods here. And then my other coin is going to go here towards investments.
I was so shocked by how good that move was.
Oh, thank you. Your turn.
I'm going to go chopping again. And I'm going to pull a wild one here. Let's choose this one over here. They have to be touching one formally scratched off, I believe. Oh, I got a stump. Yes. And it's an upgraded one. I really like that. Okay. So, first we're gonna upgrade that. And I'm going to get a Zenit buck. And that one's going to give me an iron. And that one time use iron. Bam. Is going to go right here and unlock the purple apiary.
Oh my gosh. So good.
I can use that yellow dye. It's a five. It needs to be greater than three. I'm put it right here. Okay. So, we're going to do that. Then, I'm going to use a stump. I'm going to put it towards enhanced apiary. Goodness help me. All I want to use is both dice by the end of this game. We're almost done with the game. So, after doing the chopping task, I'm going to roll a dieice. It's a two. That's I get a stone. I will put it towards one mining stamp and I'll put it right here for two victory points at the end of the game. Neighbor phase user gifted items. I got a really good one from you last round.
You didn't give me anything.
I didn't cuz I haven't fulfilled it yet. You inspired me. So this one, this green flower here worth three coins. So since it's worth three coins, you know what? I'm going to do exactly what you did for iron. One, two, and three. I've gotten this blue iron which can now go towards my upgraded hatchet.
Oo, good job. Plus one chop action. Let's go.
Wow.
We're about to tear through this forest.
Yeah.
Okay. Then we go to our scoring phase. This is This is round 10.
Is it?
It is. It's going to be
So, click the thing and it should pop up. Okay. Gain four points for each good in your cargo manifest size three.
I have one.
Zero.
So, I just get four points. You get zero.
And then we're going to write So, we'd write it here. Mhm.
And I had zero.
I'll put zero too then on these zero.
Oh, so bad.
And zero. Okay. So, that was the scoring phase. This is the final one.
Yeah. So, all edges.
Yeah. I don't know about I'm not really close to that.
You don't think you could do that in three turns?
You know, it might be possible. It just might be.
All right. Do you want to roll the B dice?
Okay.
Dice. I like those numbers. Those are good numbers.
Four.
Oh, the four is kind of high.
It is.
I could decrease it to three, but it's still kind of high.
At this point, I want to put something in there. So, I'm going to do it.
Okay. Oh, but you know what? As soon as you pull row, you get a honey right away.
You're right.
Now, it's time for my favorite part.
I think we should rename this the bonds phase instead of the growth phase.
It's time to grow, my minions. You know what you need to do? become little eggs. There we go. We're going to have four eggs this round.
Four.
Four eggs.
Four eggs. I have so many eggs. I don't know what to do. I'm going to change them all into points and I'm going to put them in my cargo pod. Heck yeah. Come on. One, two. We'll do three, four. I got eggs all over my cargo pod.
My gosh.
And then these have a a return. So, we're going to put it over to level one. And then this one is going to move over to three and nothing will happen. I know what I'm going to do with my honey. Do you know what you're going to do?
Yep.
What are you going to do?
My honey straight towards investments.
Okay. My honey is gonna go here because we get two and I can fill in. And the yellow one is one stamp. So, one stamp, one stamp. Unlock purple for that row. One stamp, one stamp. So, there's my two honey.
That's genius.
Now, I unlock this purple. And that purple is worth four stamps or four coins. So, I'm just going to put it in my cargo pod. And it's going to be a stamp of four. One, two, three, four.
Let's put in our numbers for the bee. So, a two, right? Oh, we just need this side. Sorry.
The four.
The four. So, I'm going to put mine here.
Oh my gosh.
You unlock red honey.
I Well, I'm going to put the four right here. And I unlock a purple right away.
Oh, that's brilliant. What are you going to do with the purple then?
Oh, I'm turning that thing in for points. Well, what else can I do?
Bottom right. Beekeeper.
Oh, compost bin. Roll. Remove crop and replace it if not blank.
Oh, yeah.
That would actually be really cool
for your special.
But it's so We're like just so close to the end of the game.
Yeah.
So, I think I am going to turn in for points again. It can't touch another purple.
So, let's see. I'll just put it up here. One, two, three, four.
Task phase. I've committed and I'm going to fish and chop the rest of the way for badges.
Okay,
so let's fish with this one, the pod repair. And we're going to fish in the pond, actually, cuz I want to finish up this basic fishing badge. Black two and a white one. Algae again. Algae again. So, I'm going to put it towards basic fishing. And then when I fish, I can roll a dieice for my driftwood net. A five, which is a stump for my net. A stump is two coins. So, you know what? We're going to put that in energy bars. Boom. Boom.
Oh, that's funny. You go from from the top all the way down and then I do the opposite way.
It probably makes more sense your way because then you work your way towards the bottom.
Two plus colors of goods in your cargo pod.
I do. So, I get a free red passport.
Ooh, a red passport. This time,
I'm going to use that red blueprint for one coin and try to finish up this one. So, one.
Yeah, it's probably a good choice for you.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm going to just stick with chopping cuz it was working for me before. So, I'm going to do chopping action. And I'm going to go this way. Oh, man. It's not upgraded. Oh, but I get a log. I got a log stump. I mean, a a stump.
A log stump.
A log stump. And oh, I already used it. I don't even need it. So, I can just turn it in for money. So, I'm going to use one of it to unlock an energy bar. Okay. So, I got that one. That's going to be plus one action per use. One use per task. And then I'm going to use my last coin. Let's go for this last apiary there. I'm going to do it now. I'm going to roll a dice.
A wild.
A wild with my rock saw after a chopping task. Roll die. And I can choose whatever I want.
Yeah.
Yes, you can.
I'm going to choose an iron. Oh, why did I use the stump here when I could I'm going to use an iron. Bam. I almost have the copper. And then I can use both light dye. It's very
And then it's game time. That was my one move.
You know what? I'm also going to do that, too, because I can now chop two times for my upgraded hatchet. So, we can now go down since I'm in level two, and I can go towards lake fishing. So, let's do one for the road,
which is plus one, which means I can go again. And let's go off the bean path. And that is a bone. It is a bone and an upgrade. So, bone and I do get a log. So, with that log, it's going to go towards basic woods. I got a bone. And then the bone I'm going to put towards three yellow. Yellows aren't worth anything in my hive module. So, instead, I'll just invest into the advanced woods here.
Now, I'm going to do a gardening or a tending action. And I will plant a crop. I'm going to plant a little pineapple right here. Like that. We'll just do that. And then after attending task, roll a dieice. Oh, I got a a one. That's going to give me a log. And that log will give me I'm going to sell it for a coin. And then I'll put the Oh, you know what? Oh, wait, wait, wait. Back up.
Back up. Plus one action per use, one use per task. I will keep the log. Okay, I won't reroll. Could I use the first action to till and then move the pineapple? Yep.
All right. Thank you. So, I'm going to use one half of my granola bar or energy bar. I'm going to till six times.
And I'll do one, two, three, four, five, six.
And then I'm gonna put the pineapple in a different spot. I'll put it right here. Okay, so that was my energy bar that I used to do my extra 10 action. I rolled my die because of my rake. I got a log. I'm going to sell a log for a coin. And that coin is going to go right here for my blue apiary. I have 12 plus tilled soil. Because I have that, I unlocked a a meteor. And that meteor is going to turn into two stamps in a row uh in my cargo manifest.
Neighbor phase.
Neighbor phase.
You have anything to use?
I don't. I don't.
But I will replace this one, this pineapple with another pineapple.
I'm so tempted to try and draw an egg, but I have a feeling I'm not going to do it because you've never been able to do it. So, I'm not going to do it.
Okay. All right. So, after neighbor phase, we're going to do scoring phase. We don't have to worry about that right now.
Then we're going to do setup
round 11.
Do you want to roll?
Okay, let's do this. Three to one.
Oh, perfect.
That's good.
Yeah, I really need that one.
Cool.
Okay, now we're going to do my favorite.
Your face.
A growth. Well, you get stuff too now
for growing.
Yeah, you get two honeys. I'm about to get I'm about to get three.
Okay.
Soon.
Well, you have two honeys and then these I have two eggs so far.
Okay.
One pineapple and I have to pluck this wine fruit. So, for the pineapple, I will Oh, I don't remove it. It doesn't say X. I will give this to you. Yay.
The next round.
Thank you.
That's going to get me one stamp on this track, which will get me a red certificate. I have completely abandoned any upgrades right here and the game is almost over. So, I think what I might do now, if I turn in a red blueprint, that's going to give me one heart, which is one victory point no matter where I'm at. Or I could use it for a granola bar. Use that for a granola bar. Okay. So, that was my uh
Oh, you finished your pineapple.
That was my pineapple. And now it's going to be the fruit that I need to pluck here. That's going to get me a green trio corner stamp, which I'll actually use right here. And then I have two eggs. The two eggs will probably go in my cargo pod. I'll put one egg right here. Okay. And we'll put one egg right here. I have three honeys. I have two golden honeys and one purple. So, for the purple honey, I'll get four stamps. I'm going to go one, two, three, four. And then I have two yellow honeys. And the yellow honeys will go one and two.
Nothing's touching each other. Everything is legal. You about to score big. Okay. For my two yellow honeys, I'm going to finish off my investment. And then when we start the task phase, I'm actually going to put in this number right here. So it will be a one for next time. So since I got that red honey here, I'm going to put it towards beekeeper.
I'm going to put the one right here and also get a red honey.
But I'm actually really sad because I can't put it in my cargo pod. It doesn't fit.
The shape does it.
It would touch other honeys and you're not allowed to do that. So, I will use the red honey for four coins. And that's going to unlock two more right here. And now I have another granola bar action if I really wanted to do something. And then I have two more coins. I think I'll just put two right here and try to unlock a little stump there.
Okay, task phase. I'm going to take this one, the river dredger. I'm going to fish first and I'm actually going to fish again in the pond fishing so I can finish up these badges, the medals. Black five and a white three is nothing.
I'm sorry, Tim.
I fished water. Okay, it's okay. We're gonna pivot because
if I fish, I can still roll a dieice.
Okay.
And with a two, I gain one log, which is perfect because now I've finished this medallion. Boom. This metal. And then if I have two more chopping levels, I can get a meteor, which is going to go to you. Oh, thank you.
Now, I've gotten a heart and a picture of grape juice.
Okay,
so heart is four red stamps, which is going to be about four points for me. So, I'm going to go one, two, three, four. And then I also have that final pitcher, which is four coins. Those four coins are going to go straight into energy bars. One unlocked. One, two, three, four. Unlock two energy bars. I'm going to go chopping. Here we go. I need a purple background. And I got it. Let's go.
Yes.
I got a log and a purple background. That's going to give me two logs. The two logs are going to give me two zenith bucks. I'll work on this one right here. Two zenith bucks. Yeah. Yeah, sure. Why not? Let's see what happens when I do that. Okay. So, then the other thing is I'm going to use my granola bar and I'm going to scratch off on the top part one more time. I could have done one below, but I'm not going to do that. And that's going to get me one extra chopping action. Okay, that's going to get me another log. So then the other log, I'll sell it again and I'll turn it in for this investment. All right. And then because after a chopping task, roll uh a die. I'm gonna roll the dice. I got a three. That three is going to give me the copper. That copper was what I was really doing the chopping task for. And I got the enhanced apiary. That's now going to unlock the white dye on round 11.
I'm going to write that three
and use my pollen, which is plus one or minus one. All B dice.
And I'm going to write it right here. Oh, right here. Sorry. For that new row, I have rake unlocked. So, that's going to give me a stump. That stump is going to go towards this blue apiary right here.
Okay,
that was my action.
I wrote the beekeeper for my name, but I think you're the beekeeper here.
Okay, my second and final action
is for round 11 is going to be this one, the lumberjack fisher. So, I'm going to chop first. And I can chop twice because of my upgrade. So, let's do one down the road. We got a stump. And we'll go off the bean path again. And I got a bone.
Oo,
stump and a bone. Okay, stump is going to go here. And then I also got a bone, which is two coins. And then I'm going use my energy bar to chop again. So, let's chop this towards the bottom, which gives me a bonus chop. I've now reached the bottom. So, I've unlocked lake fishing. I've gotten another stump and then I can use one more chop. So, let's go here towards the bottom. And I'm unlocked another stump, but a rare one this time. So, I've gotten two stumps overall and one log. That log is going to go here to finish up this badge. And then I also have two stumps to play with. So, the two stumps, I'm going to put that towards upgraded rod. Boom.
Boom. This one. Since I have lake fishing unlocked at the very bottom over here, I now get a blue ore or a copper. So, that blue ore, blue ore is going to go here towards my blue apiary.
I would chop. I'll do this one on the right. Ooh, it is a purple. And I get another stump. That stump is going to turn in to two zenith bucks. I'm going to sell the stump for two coins and start working on a new investment.
Okay.
But
three a bears unlocked.
Wait, I get a purple one right there.
Yeah.
Can I move it?
Yeah, you can move it.
One. And then I'll I'll just keep that one coin right there.
Okay.
And then I'll cross that one out and that won't count. Okay. Okay. Now I got a purple one. I got a purple one. I'll put the purple one right there. Bam.
Yeah, you're about to get that one.
That's a big one. Final round. So, we're now in pineapp. Oh, I get something.
You do?
Yeah. I'm turning that in for stamps.
And with the pineapple that you gave me, I'm actually going to turn it in for two coins to get this one.
Okay.
Investments. Boom. And boom. Scoring. Nothing.
Set.
Nothing. And then setup.
Final round.
Final round. You want to roll the B dice?
Final.
I can use both.
53.
Okay. And then
growth.
I'm gonna tick up these eggs and give you one egg.
Yeah,
these are gonna go to three and not do anything. So, one egg was used, one egg was not used. This pineapple will go to three. Nothing will happen. I get a heart stamp. And that heart turns into four hearts here. And I can't actually fit it there. So, I'll put it here. Okay. I'll do one, two, three, four. And then I have one more egg that I need to use. And I'll use the egg for another green.
That green will go here. I will get a red honey because I completed that row.
Oh my.
Mhm. So now I get a red honey. And that red honey will go right here. I mean, might as well try. I don't know. Might as well try. Okay. So now we're going to use our honeys, right?
Mhm.
You want to use yours first, then I'll use mine. So, I got two yellow honeys
and one red.
And one red. The red I'm going to use here to get this metal. And then the yellow honeys I'm going to put straight into my hive module for one stamp each. Let's go. One and two.
Mine is going to be very similar. I get two yellow, one red, and one purple.
Why?
So, I'll put the two yellow right here. One red and one purple. Mhm.
I've now unlocked uh these two badges, yellow and this purple one with the white. Instead of turning them in here, I'm going to
those two
try and invest. Yeah, I'm going to try and invest. I'll put the purple one right here and I'll put the yellow one right there. So, now I've unlocked the plus two. I just need three more Zenith bucks and I can unlock that one and at least I'll get some points for it.
Mhm.
Give me something.
Look at that. And then let me cross out these metals too. So yellow metal, yellow metal, and then I have the basic woods over here or gray and red. So gray and red.
Okay,
my second to last action in this game. I'm going to fish and fish my life away so I can finish these basic fishing badges. First off, roll these two dice. We got a black three and a white five. So, also I need to put in my final B die before I forget. So, first input a five here. So, five just to put it somewhere. And then I got a black three and a white five. So, black three, white five. I got the blue algae, which is actually this one. I'm short one fish. So, I'm going to put the blue algae here. And then every time I fish, I can roll a dieice. I got a three, which means I get a log.
So log's going to go here. And then I can use my energy bar to fish again. So let's do that again. Black two and a white one. Black two, white one is a blue algae, which is one coin. So let's put that here. And then since I'm at two plus mining levels, I can get the pink fish. I can put one coin here to unlock this row. And then I have one more coin left which is going to go here.
I'm going to choose this one and go mining. And I will be using a granola bar to go mining twice or plus one action.
And my goal is to get an iron bar. I really want an iron bar. And it is possible up here, but we'll see. So the first thing is a stone. Nothing. The second thing is [sighs and gasps] another stone. Shoot, I got two stones, but I did get an upgrade action. The upgrade for the mine is going to be right here, which is a zenith buck. And I need to cross out my granola bar or my energy bar.
Mhm.
Two stones and one zenith buck. Two stones for two mining stamps separate from each other. And then I'll use the last one, the zenith buck. I'll put it down here. And I'll actually do that one row right there. Okay. Now, three colors of goods and cargo pod. I have one tiny fish, making it my third one. So, I get a honey or a purple certificate. I'll choose a purple certificate, turn it into two zenith bucks from my cargo manifest, and complete this row of investment right here for another plus two. So, that was my first card. I still haven't done my honey dice.
Last action in the whole game. I am so committed to getting this basic fishing medal.
I I'm Yeah, I understand.
I'm being completionist here and I'm going to go all in. So, I fished for the last round. I'm going to fish again.
Okay. And you also get the bottom action.
True. White one and a black four. White one, black four. It is nothing.
Oh no. I probably should have used the two coins to upgrade my rod last time, but it's okay because I still have to get the driftwood net. So, I can get this one real quick. And that is a black one, which is a log to go towards here. I can't use the energy bar for fishing. I scratch that out. But, as you mentioned, I can use this purple one or
the honey.
The honey. And I'm going to put
yellow honey.
The purple is red. I'm going to use the purple one.
Okay. or two hearts
here.
Nice.
And here.
Yeah. And I still really want this iron par. So, I'm trying to figure out how to use it or how to get it.
And I might be able to do it here. And I would only be able to do it if I could roll if I could roll a five. And so, what I might do instead is do my last granola bar and try to mine for it.
Mhm.
And I will get that fish either way. So, I'm going to do my last action for mining because my first one was this one. Okay, I'll use my granola bar and do two actions. And I'm looking for that iron bar. Tim, where is it? Here. Where is it? I need it.
Left, down, right.
Okay, I'm going down. It's a copper. No,
it's orange.
And it's an upgrade. So, I get a stone now. I get a stone and a copper. I do get one more scratch off. I'll just do one stone and one copper down here for a metal.
Okay.
Okay. And I get one more scratch. Still looking for that iron bar. What do you think it's gonna be? Right here.
Yeah.
Okay.
Oh, it's another copper.
No,
it's another copper. All right. Well, I will complete this row and Okay.
I do unlock a metal.
Mhm.
It's a red metal. Oh, I get a fish.
Oh, yeah. He's a pink fish.
I get a fish. And that's going to either be two fish or two stamps or two coins. And I'll just do two fish stamps for two victory points. And I can't complete a row anywhere. So I will not worry about it.
Ready for endame scoring?
Yeah. I'll just write the three and five somewhere here.
Okay. I'll write five here and I'll write three here. Okay,
scoring time. So, for the season 3 objective, gain 20 points for filling all edges of the cargo manifest.
Did not do.
Neither of us did not do that. Okay. And then we're going to score first our manifest.
Uh well, let me write zero on objective three.
Okay. So, do I.
And then we're going to write our total points there.
Ah, yes. Our total
four.
See this happens when I'm too committed to one thing. I just hyperfixate on that and I don't do anything else. This is the results of that.
So,
okay. So, stall one is this entire column.
Yes, I have zero.
Same stall two.
Oo. 26 for stall two.
Okay.
Stall three.
Okay.
I have three. What about you?
Zero.
Oh, wait. for stall three.
Yes.
Okay. So then I have 29 points for all my stalls which is solo.
Okay.
29. Okay. Now neighbor. What you're going to do is you're going to look at ne left and right neighbor rewards. So let's start with left. How many neighbor bonuses did you complete?
All eight.
Wow. Very good. Okay. So I completed seven. Good thing I was actually like
I didn't even look and see. Oh, which one should I focus on? I just also happen to do
the left one because you get three victory points for everyone that you're higher than me. Yeah.
So, that would have been really bad for me. So, you get three victory points for the left one. For the right one, we both tied. So, we get zero. So, my score is zero, your score is three. Now, for badges and
I believe that it's the badges even from our beekeeper. I do not have any badges.
Me neither. I just have medals.
Wait. Oh,
badges will be sent two to nine planet rotations. Badge. Wait. Medal delivery for every line completed. Badge awarded for two lines completed. [gasps]
Oh, just two badges. Yes,
two lines. So, I did it. Did you do any?
I did the basic woods badge.
Okay.
For five points.
Okay, cool.
Which is here. Five. Cuz you only need two lines.
You only need two lines.
Super nice. So, I'm going to go ahead and write down 15 points for the the the badges there.
Okay. And then what's your total for your manifest? I'm at eight.
You're at eight.
Eight points total for the manifest.
I'm at 48. 29 + 15 + 4 33 43 48.
Okay.
Okay. So, this total right here is going to go in your manifest section on your hive module. Now, next up is your pod. So, here you're going to look at your cargo pod and very similar to your cargo manifest, you're going to add up all the stamps and see how many points each one is worth. Okay,
so we'll do mine real quick.
Mine is three points for fish. So, 369 plus green, red are all one point. So, that's 369. That's 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16. And then honey is two points each. So, 16 17 18 19 20. Nice. It's a good number.
Okay. Where are you at?
Okay. I get I only get one point per fish, unlike Tim's three points per fish, but mine focuses on green. So, anything that's like a farming or food or item. So, and then two points. We all get two points for our hive commissary artisan goods.
So, let's see. 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 20 22 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 38 for artisan goods and then one two three for fish and three points per green. So, I'm going to do 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14. 14 * 3 is going to be 42. So, now I'm going to do 42 + 3 is 45.
45 + 38. Wait, why did I write 48? 45 + 38 8 9 10 13 I'm so 8 9 10 11 12 13 now carry the one.
What?
I got 83. 83.
Wow.
Okay, time for the last one.
Invest.
Investments.
Okay, we're going to add up our investments. So, I have four. What do you have?
So, I have five. Four investments. Now, we're gonna take that number and multiply it times all the medals that we earned.
Okay. I completed one in basic mines and two from beekeeper.
Okay.
So, that's three.
Three.
What about you?
Same. Also three.
Okay.
So, five times three for me.
And mine is four times three.
This is my lowest score in game. I think it's cuz I abandoned everything and just fished.
You know, sometimes life calls you to do that. Like sometimes you just need a break. I mean, just need to go fish. And there's nothing wrong with that.
Okay, we add up our total score now.
Okay. All right. You know what? I have no excuse. All right. This is what I get. This is what I get. We're talking smack one. No, we didn't.
Number two.
We didn't tell them our score
for only fishing. That's what I get. We're freaking fishing each other all the time. This is what I get. We're playing on too much and being overcommitted face fishing. This is what I get.
Only who did this to myself? Me. Only I do this.
It's not about the total score. It's about having it's about having fun in on the on the planet.
You're right.
Like f Zenith Corporations.
Yeah.
We do not need to fall under their structure. If Tim wants to go fishing, Tim can just go off and go fishing. He doesn't need to listen to Zenith. No.
Yeah. Why were you giving them stuff anyway to begin with?
I don't know. I could have used that honey to build a better life and instead I sent it off to Zenith
for for for completionist sake. Bonds, what is your final score?
143.
Mine is really close. Actually, it's just a fraction like a hair behind. 42.
42.
No, no, no, no. Uh, 42.
Yeah, 42. There's no one in front of it for the hashtag for the vibes. Okay, everyone. Hope you all enjoyed today's gameplay. Look, if you can't beat 42, I'm sorry. I tried keeping it together.
I know you all can be 42. So, just just show us that you can do it. Okay, you got this. Fall off. You got this. There's no way.
If you want to go fishing and you just want peace, then just go fishing. Like, who cares about the score? Just enjoy being on this beautiful planet.
Enjoy the adventure, right? Yeah. Who's here to keep who keeps score while they're playing games?
We don't. Why would we keep score? Okay, I'm good. Thank you all so much for watching, Bons. Thank you for joining me on another game play where you have absolutely destroyed demolished my score. This is on brand for the channel now. It's great. I love it. This is this is why you keep coming back. I appreciate you. If you made it to the very very end, go ahead and comment honey for all the honey we're trying to harvest for all the apiaries we are trying to build. This is it. Welcome to seller and hive everyone. Thank you all so much for watching. Thank you Abby Studio for sponsoring today's video. Bonsie the best.
You the best.
Good game. We'll see you all on the next one.
Bye
bye.
Okay.
A one.
A two.
I got my total.
Oh,
okay.
Tim, you're playing it up. I'm going to get eaten alive. Like my score is very low.
Says you must have all equal numbers. As soon as you put a two here, the rest have to be twos.
It actually says that they all have to be different numbers.
No way. Oh, the second one is equal one. Damn it. Okay.
And that'll be my second action. And I have to sneeze.
What the How'd that happen?
With my blue stone. [clears throat]
Wow.
Tim, you got 42 points.
I have never scored this badly in this game. It's crazy. That is my top five game 2024.
Tim, 42 points. When you when I found out you got 42 points, I lost
