You made an important rules error; when you win a challenge, you can't pay a life to discard cards. You have to keep all the cards. If you want to cull cards, you have to deliberately fail the challenge. That's the beauty of the game; you have to choose between failing to get rid of bad cards or winning the challenge but keep the bad cards. That's why this game is so hard to beat. Your way of playing makes the game much easier.

Hi! Thanks for a great channel. I have played Friday a lot and I just love it. I saw in the last comment about the rules error. I also spot one at the first hazard card actually. You are not allowed to pay an extra life to discard a extra card. That is also a beauty of the game and make it much harder. According to the rules: "...nor to >>sacrifice

This is the best video of Friday playthrough that I have seen. You explained everything very well and some things finally clicked for me. I find this game so hard and I always give up! 😀

This was a great play through to watch and u set stand how to play the game! Thanks so much!

I have played this game so many times over the years because I loved it so much. However, it has been a while since my last game and I honestly needed a reminder boost ! Thanks for boosting my memory 😂 Great,even though the cards are aging just like their owner 😳

Great playthrough! Friday and Ghost Stories were the two games that took me the longest to beat solo, super exciting the first time you get past the pirates. Loving the solo content, you've got a new subscriber!

Nice playthrough! I was searching about solo playthroughs of this game and the most recent was yours of course hahaha but very good video! I think I'll probably gonna buy the game this weekend

Good play through, this one is on my list of wants. It is a very large list. My fav solo games I have right now are villages of Valeria and the game. I also love playing the unofficial villainous solo from BGG.

Ah....Friday! The old classic. Honestly, I can't remember if I've ever beaten both pirates. I've been trying to play a game a day for the month of May and I haven't done one yet for today so I think it's going to have to be Friday! You did a great job showing off the game and good job on getting as far as the pirates. That 40 point one was a tough first draw though! (So far this month I've enjoyed Doom Machine, Warp's Edge, Cascadia, Floriferous, Parks, and Cuphead: The Fast-Rolling Dice Game solo. Depending on their ages, your kids might like that last one.) P.S. A question that came up: When you win against a hazard, can you still spend extra life to get rid of cards you don't want, thus culling your deck further? I've always played that you can only do that when lose against a hazard.
