I think the player (you) is Friday, the guy in the deck is Robinson Crusoe. You are helping him survive by "building" him up.

I got this game 2 days ago (on a Friday) I played it once before watching your video to get some of the rules explained. Thank you for making this video and for a good explanation of the game.

Wow! What a teacher! Just bought this game and you helped me out so much! Thank you so much! Will be looking at your other videos for now on. Thanks again!

Board Games are MAH LIFE, Thx for supporting us board gamers!

The concise rulebook is horrible, and you are my saving grace! Friedeman should be sent to that Island a few weeks for this rulebook only.

I pulled this game out tonight after watching your play-through. I attempted to learn it previously but it didn't click back. I had a great time playing it this time around! Thanks for helping me dust this game off the shelf. I'm looking forward to play this game more. THUMBS UP!

This is the best how to play Friday tutorial out of the ones I've watched👍Thanks

I like the pace of your explanation. very clear. appreciate it.

This is the best explanation of this game on KZfaq. In my humble opinion :) thank you

I’ve just come across this play-through, which is really helpful - especially the thinking aloud. I bought it partly on the basis of this, I’ve played it twice, and I’ve got about as far into the yellow phase. It’s tough, but god fun. Thanks for the video!

finally started to play this game today after watching this video. thank you for another great video

Were you a teacher of some capacity? You explain these games very well, probably the best out of all the videos I've seen on KZfaq

Instructions not totally clear. Now I get it. Great video.

Best playthrough of this game. Thank you!

You set it up different to how I've been doing it, putting the traffic light cards like that makes so much more sense! Great video :)

Thanks so much, another little game I didn't know of, but on my wanted list now. You're a great teacher.

So far this is a really well done. I've watched two other videos and couldnt pick up the flow of this game. I'm about halfway through and I'll add more once it clicks! Thanks for your hard work

I really enjoy your playthroughs!!! You are an excellent teacher! Please keep doing more videos!!!

Really liked your play through. Nice to hear you offer tips and suggestions as well as the different lay out option. You've played this often and it shows in the way you've demonstrated it. Cheers!

So glad you are back. I love your run throughs and your relaxed approach to the whole thing.

I just subscribed. Your channel is fantastic. I’ve learnt so much. Keep up the great work you’ve made me enjoy boardgames again from when I was a kid. I have that nostalgic moment again. Thankyou

Brilliant tuition. Really enjoyed the demo. More solo playing games,please. Thank you from the UK.

Great video. Thank you for the walk through! Can't wait to play.

Thanks for this run through. Great job explaining the game. I watched this a year ago but rewatched it today. And even though I've now played the game a lot, I just now learned something: You should try to avoid reshuffling your deck in the middle of a big fight, because then your draw deck will be unusually small and you will age quickly (i.e., have to add another aging card). This happened in your run through with the fight for the "Exploring the Island/Weapon" card that begins around time 38:27 and the shuffle happens at 41:57 with 6 of your cards out on the table.

Thank you - I have played this game and it's not easy to win!

Very very very good presentation! Thanks so much for this!

That was a great video. Thank you for the excellent explanation.

The "below the pile" ability allows you to exchange the card you put on the bottom of the Robinson deck with a new one from the top. I picked up some great tips from this video. Thank you!

I really loved your explanation of the game play-through. Thank you! :-)

Great video. I just got this. Can't wait to play. Thank you!

Excellent. Great explanation, thank you.

Thanks. Got this as a Secret Santa gift form my gaming group and I wasn't a fan of the rule book. I think you explained it a lot better.

I always thought the Life Points were shaped like bugs 🐛 😅

Nice explanation! Wandered here from Rahdo, really enjoying the transition to single- and 2-player games as my wife and I refine our game collection (having a little cub has cut into game nights with the crew lol). I will look for your stuff, very helpful.

Please do a review and play through of Palm Island. Thanks have a nice day.

Just discovered your gaming vids ... which are some of the best for highlighting and explaining games. Please do more. Liked and subscribed!

Thanks for the playthrough. Been looking to get this game and I think you've just convinced me!

Brilliant demonstration. You made the game easy to understand. Thank you.

Oh yes, thanks for the review. Getting it today.

Thank you for a real walkthrough without all of the bells and whistles of internet douchebaggery.

Really great overview, thank you!

Thanks so much. Very helpful! Cheers.

The life counters are Bananas

I did enjoy it and will purchase it at some point...I am a solo player tks

I have been playing Friday for a month and haven't won a single game yet! It's soooo frustrating, but also so good!

Good video, congrats! I have doubts about the 1 below the deck, could you explain me better? whats happens if I draw it on the left side (free card) and what would happen if I draw on the right side?

Could someone explain the * Pirate card where it says +2 Hazard points for each aging card? Does this mean if I draw nothing but non-aging cards that are all zeroes, do I defeat the pirate?

thank you! helped a lot.

Very helpful!

I legit watched all !!!

what Bart Verstegen said! THANK YOU!!!

Awesome Walkthrough! Well Done! Sub'ed

so you also lost. like I did. the game is far harder than I thought. your shuffling skills are so amazing!

That was such a great tutorial, well done. I’m new to board games so I’m looking into solo ones. I just subscribed to your Chanel. Any recommendations for solo board games?

WooW WooW GOOD VIDEO ;)

Actually, you're playing as Friday, helping Robinson Crusoe who was stranded on the island. Obviously has no bearing on the game, but as someone who read Robinson Crusoe in school, it does bug me :) Great video, though!

GG that was fun to watch, even if im 3 years late lol

at 38 min did you get rid of the destroy 1 card or keep it? do you have to get rid of all you pay for or can you keep some and get rid of the others?

BTW: Forgot to say that I received the game today and start to play tomorrow. All the Best.

Hi Solo. Great video! I have one question at the 36:30 mark you lost a fight and had to pay 4 life tokens you then said you could only discard two for three cards. Why is that?

Can someone please explain how fighting the pirates occurs? I've made it that far and am confused.

Can you spend food and burn a card immediately, or do you have to lose a fight first?

I thought I saw a video for Splendor from you when it was published along with Concept, but I can't find it anymore on your channel. Is it available?

Why is the -3 Aging card not played with a beginner game because its too difficult, but the -4 and -5 aging card are played, and put at bottom of pile?

Love the game. 4 Playthroughs and no win... on evel 1. I suck. Also bought the Android version for couch gaming. 2 Playthroughs and no win. I really suck. But I keep going!

Thanks for teaching this game. The rule book is not the best.

Since when was 50 minutes quick🤔

I can't get up to the Pirates 😢

Yo

I also think that you must be a teacher (says another teacher)

I've yet to win this game. :\

Why do you turn your cards all the way around or upside down when you use the ability? You're supposed to just tilt them.

great nails

I found one mistake you made. Copy doesn't copy the fight points on a card. It only copies the Special Abilities.

"Still available" where?

Excellent walkthrough. I bought the game! Thanks! BTW on boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/43570/friday there's a fellow whose looking into make an tablet fan version using CardWarden.

Where Can I buy this that is not 80 dollars..?

Has anyone on here actually beat this game?

This can't possibly take 50 minutes to teach. I suspect one could read the rulebook in less time.

a 50 minute "quick run through"?
