Thanks for talking about Survival of the Fattest! Great to hear you enjoyed it and always happy to answer any rules clarifications. We did put a lot of time into balancing the critters and making sure they all have cool, but not unbroken abilities. Solo can be tricky (as with multiplayer) until you really get a grip on the game and work out how to maximise your tricks and abilities, I promise you they are all beatable ;)
@dirtyrascalgames Hey thanks for watching and your input. Can I ask (maybe I've misunderstood), how do you overcome the high points that are achieved through the foraging. I understand that the 5 card row needs to fill before they are stashed but mathmatically that means they are only 5 cards thoughout the game aren't stashed. This seemed to be where the bulk of the points seemed to be coming from and was very overwhelming. I'm happy to be corrected if I've misunderstood something and am open to continued communications to unpack this if necessary. I'd like to review (proper full-length video) the game on this channel at some point so I'd very much like to show the game in exactly the way it was intended to be played. My email is diceonahill@outlook.com this would a better way to discuss this further if you are interested.
@@Diceonahill We'd love to see you make some more content for Survival of the Fattest, both to spread the word and just because we love seeing people enjoying the game! As for solo, there isn't much you can do about the relentless stashing of cards that the opponents make, and would depend on what critter you are playing. You might be able to use some of your abilities to insert traps into their hand with Oakley or Ol'Grizz, or Bucky's ability to prevent them from going to a location may get lucky and basically cause them to miss an action for a turn. Basically you need to focus on your own strengths to try and score at the same rate or better than they do. Remember you are able to gain a lot of points in between seasons, or from bonuses which the opponent does not have access to.
@Diceonahill I played a few quick solo games this afternoon just to see how my scores compared as I haven't played solo for a while. In the 3 games I played I won 2, Huni & Bunz were victorious with 30 vs 27, Bucky won with 37 vs 35 but Oakley got steamrolled by a rampant Demort 37 vs 42. I think in the game with Oakley I could have been a bit smarter in not giving the opponent extra cards with my abilities. It would be interesting to see how these scores compared with yours, understanding that my player scores are pretty high being so familiar with the game.
Ok, so I've managed to get in a few solo games now. Game 1, Lottie 29, Demort 38. Game 2, Ol'Griz 12, Demort 25 (I remember being really stuck in this game) Game 3, Bucky 36, Demort 28 (Bucky felt very strong having food cashed for free meant he was very efficient, clean deck and just spend most of the game fishing up reserved reciepes to complete) Game 4 (I decided to play against all 3 AIs at once to see what happened. Rascal 34, Demort 34, Harriet 31, Alfie 41. I think vsing one AI would have been harder for Rascal as he needed to follow people to grab lots of traps. Managed to get 7 in one turn when 2 AIs happened to go to the same spot. I cant see Rascal being as powerful in a 2 player game.
@@Diceonahill Cool, looks like you're scoring pretty well, I think you'll find once you've got a few games under your belt you'll be able to beat Demort more often than not. Harriet should be around a 50% win rate and probably only winning around 20-25% against Alfie. I haven't attempted playing multiple solo opponents at the same time, that's an interesting idea!
