In this video, I teach how to play The Castles of Burgundy's solo mode against the Chateauma. This is the newest solo mode, which came out with the Special Edition of the Castles of Burgundy. I begin by teaching the set-up and basics of the solo mode against the Chateauma, and then do a full playthrough, as I showcase how to play, including explaining actions as I go. I did forget make a few mistakes during the game (mainly forgetting to give myself points and playing the Chateauma wrong on one occasion), but I believe I caught all of the mistakes in editing, and I added textual corrections in the video. If I made any other mistakes, please let me know and I will provide updates in the description.
Note: I had an issue when editing that caused me to have to do something to be able to export that led to some misplacement of text (showing a few seconds early in the later segment of the video). I also noticed some small gaps, but I have lost the project at this point, and so it would be more difficult than it is worth at this time to fix. Please bear with these issues.
Rules Mistake: When performing tiebreaker for selecting tiles from the black depot, you use the order in Chateauma's RESERVE from top left to bottom right and NOT the order in the black depot. The order in the black depot only becomes significant if there are multiples of the same tile type.
I have another video that goes over the 2018 solo mode, which you can check out here: youtu.be/yd4jeoyz2Sg
