As voted on by my Patreon supporters, we're digging into a Showcase for Darkest Dungeon: The Board Game from Mythic Games. In this video I'll cover the setup of the game and in upcoming videos, a solo playthrough. Hope this helps you get a look at the final game, see it in action and get it to the table when it arrives! *Community Question: Thoughts on the initial stance of our heroes? Let me know in the comments below!* Intro 0:00 Overview 0:50 Initial Setup Steps 2:29 Main Setup Steps 6:07 Conclusion 14:48 Patreon Rolling Solo Producers 16:10 "Ruin has come to our family. In this adaptation of Red Hook’s acclaimed Darkest Dungeon video game, you strive to cleanse a manor and its surroundings of all manner of evil: hordes of the undead, foul beasts and eldritch abominations... And, finally, either at death’s door or at your wit’s end, you will have to uproot evil itself from the darkest dungeon. Darkest Dungeon is a fully cooperative dungeon crawl game in which players take on the role of adventurers. Although brave and determined, adventurers are only human! They are prone to the madness and pain the twisted dwellers of the dungeons will inflict upon them. Death can occur, but is not the worst fate: heroes can be driven mad and beyond help! The game is played in campaigns of 11 missions. To reach the Darkest Dungeon itself, players will undertake 3 missions per threat level and vanquish the boss. Then, they will be strong enough and face the horrors of the Darkest Dungeon! They may emerge victorious... if they dispatch the source of evil that plagues the land. For each hero, select 3 skills out of 7 before heading into your mission (and level the heroes up to gain access to more skills). In each room, pick the most suitable stance to best resolve the conflict! Then, on each turn, a player chooses two of the available actions of moving, interacting with the environment, changing their stance or using a skill (if eligible for their current stance). Triumph over encounters, resist rampant madness and emerge victorious before throwing yourself into another battle. Between missions, spend your time in the hamlet, visiting various buildings to find relief from the physical and mental trauma you’ve just endured. Restore the hamlet to its former glory and it will reward you and help you to fulfill the ultimate goal." *Media Inquiries: rollingsologamer@**gmail.com* *Want to support the channel?

Blows me away that you get all these games to the table and recorded. Much respect and thank you.

Was waiting for this one. Fantastic to see it on the table (Im just unpacking my delivery as well and going through the rulebook). Good job mate, as always.

Very hyped to receive my copy, so much so I've been painting DD fan art just to keep the hype train running. Great setup breakdown, looking forward the playthrough!

Suuuuuper looking forward to the gameplay video!

The way you set up the cards is magnificently visually pleasing and simple to understand. Brilliant video! I'll be playing the tutorial before the my first quest, solo of course for the time being. Keep up the marvelous videos.

Nice! Been waiting for this one. For all the heat Mythic has been getting lately, I can't deny that their games are always a treat to behold.

Super looking forward to the playthrough !

Been excited for this one! Kept an eye on it, will be busy now but saving this for later!

I didn't even knew you got a copy but I'm glad to see this while waiting for my copy to arive!

Brilliant, cheers!

Been looking forward to this one!

Thank you so much for these videos!

One of my favorite IPs, great setup Adam!

Excited for when you upload the play through!

This will be an interesting learning curve of a game 😂

Great exploration for this game keep up the good work thank you 😊

Thanks, this really makes me hunger for the game to arrive :D Small note: It's a little annoying that "Runes" and "Rooms" almost sound the same :P

Plague Doctor, Jester, Hellion and Vestal... how predictable.. ;)

What is it like trying to get everything back into the box? Would also like to see how sleeved cards can fit back in the box since Mythic don't seem to care about showing us that =/

A question: if you have 2 players, are there only two heroes in the party, or does each player control two heroes?

Thanks for the upload, I gave it a "like". Small suggestion, you seem to be in a hurry...please consider slowing down your rate of speech. Would be more helpful for newbs like me.

This looks very convoluted...

Will this game be available for nonbackers too? Man i'm so jealous!

The set-up seems a real chore. Just received my Kickstarter, but this has made me groan at the prospect of readying my first game.

Why does the trinkets deck have a picture of Jack Sparrow on them? /s

You sadistic little devil... 😜

I need to get my hearing checked. You kept saying rooms and all I could hear was loons. I was soooo confused for half the vid.

And the first thing i see, is a grammar failure at 9:54 ---> "colected" :D bad play Mythic, bad play ... i hope the german version will be better ^^ (sorry, if my english is bad)

I only watched the setup and I'm already rolling my eyes. This game seems unbereably clunky and convoluted. This makes Gloomhaven look like the most streamlined board game ever made. This is just cold, hard programming. Someone just translated the code from the computer game to cardboard. Whoever designed this doesn't have a clue about what a board game should be 🤢 also, asking ransom from backers. Wtf were you thinking, Mythic Games?
