Your annotated corrections were a great addition to the video

Congratulations for the notes about the mistakes, it must have taken a lot of work that alone! The flow of the game was great, you're really good at this!

This is by far the best play through for gloomhaven i have seen...excellent!

This takes some talent. To talk this fast and yet be eloquent and straightforward in the explanations is really an amazing trait. Thanks for this video!

This playthrough was so needed. Really helped to get my head round the game and the flow of it. Many thanks dude!

Nicely done! You've officially made the best Gloomhaven 'let's play' - IMO.

this is the quickest and most understandable tutorial I've seen so far, well done

I am very brand new to Gloomhaven (just got it yesterday) and this helped a lot to understand the game. The size of the box is very overwhelming, and showing what these characters can do has shown me what combos are possible. Amazing job!

wow, perfect timing with the kickstarter starting today. Well done!

Fantastic video. Thanks for taking the time to put this together.

I was really considering this game and seeing it described in detail really sold me. Thanks for putting in the time about this.

Thank you for taking the time to record this. I appreciated the fact that you went above and beyond and added annotations that corrected minor mistakes. I just ordered Gloomhaven last night after reading a lot about it and hearing about it for the past several months, so I decided to start learning the rules ahead of time to allow me to play immediately when I receive it in the mail.

Excellent! This is the first ever 2 hour video I’ve ever watched all the way through on KZfaq and it was well worth it. This is the single best video to explain the game anywhere. The auto corrections you made throughout were helpful. Great job and thank you for all the obvious detailed work that went into this.

Thanks for creating this excellent play-through. You not only were thoughtful about spoilers but also with annotating your mistakes. This was my first time watching one of your videos, but the quality was so good I’ve liked, subscribed, and become a patron.

Wow, this is amazing! Nothing else came even remotely close to getting me as comfortable with the rules of the game as this vid. The corrections you added in post were also super helpful, not only because they clarified the rules, but also because I now know to pay extra attention to the situations that required those rules when I'm playing. Basically, I know what kinds of rules can be easily forgotten (eg Using equipment at appropriate times), so I can take extra care around them. Seriously, thank you so much for this vid!

Omg, thank you so much for all the effort you put into making this playthrough. I have watched several others, and as much as I appreciate anyone who takes the time to record one, seeing an over abundance of mistakes made can make them unenjoyable as a viewer (at least for me). Again, I appreciate everyone recording content for us to watch, but this is the best I've seen so far. *thumbs up*

Really great playthrough. I usually can't watch Gloomhaven vids because of all the stuff people usually get wrong and although you did make some mistakes, they were all annotated. I even learned a couple of new things.

I sat and watched the whole video in one session. Well done.

Fast talk, good voice, lots of info! Pro

one of the best gloomhaven gameplays on youtube!!

Hey Jon, props for the video. 9 hrs of work much appreciated!

Excellent video. Probably the best learn to play I've watched so far.

Fantastic video. Best illustration of how this game is played, and really enjoyable to watch. You explained it all really well. Well done!

Great video, and thanks for the corrections! I am playing for first time tomorrow and this really helped me get started. I especially appreciated you used a random dungeon so it didn't reveal what I am about to encounter in the first scenario :)

Super! Thanks. I missed the bookkeeping at the end in all the other playthroughs I saw. This one nailed it!

Hi Jon. You made this look so much fun. I can't imagine the time you spent learning this, recording it and editing it. Thank you. I think I'm going to buy this.

Very well done Jon! You sold the fun in the game very well .

Love the names. I've been contemplating a full re-read of Malazan Book of the Fallen.

Great job. Thanks for taking the time to make this!

Amazing job on this playthrough. This was beyond helpful for assisting me to teach my first session of Gloomhaven.

Thanks! Just now getting into Gloomhaven, and this was amazingly helpful! The mistake notes helped probably as much as anything, as they showed me things to watch out for! Very much appreciated.

Nicely done, love the way you use the camera to get right in the action and not move it around too much. Perfect shots IMO.

Very well made video. Just bought Gloomhaven and I learned a lot just from this play through! Can't wait to play it myself!

that s the best capture of the game l have seen so far. awesome work. ty and kutgw.

Thank you for this! I didn't know Gloomhaven had Random Dungeon Generator so this was a really nice surprise plus we got to see a full map playthrough without spoilers. Sure you made few mistakes but annotated them nicely and spotting mistakes as a viewer is only a good thing because it shows I've understood the rules correctly.

Oh man, what a game… and extra points for the Erikson plug.

This helped me clarify a bunch of rules and actions - thank you!

Fantastic playthrough to learn from as a complete newcomer. Thank you!

Respect for such a great quality content!

That combo was insane. I was cackling as soon as the cards lined up.

You're fantastic at this my friend. Great shots, camera work, great game flow, great narration, good energy, good notes as follow ups. This is really really good. This has helped lower my anxiety and nervousness to try and tackle this game. It's really quite similar to lots of games I've played with basic mechanics and now you've helped me understand the little nuances and awesome new mechanics this game has. I'm excited to try this out finally!!!

Excellent video, it will really help me in my Gloomhaven sessions! Explained many questions I had (I'm also running Brute and Spellweaver in my game) And yes, thank you so much for adding captions to explain the mistakes. So many videos don't even acknowledge mistakes made, and it always make me wonder what else they missed that I didn't catch while watching.

i've been wanting to play this game for awhile on tabletop simulator, but was intimidated by the 50 page rulebook. Even my sleep deprived brain can understand this. Thank you.

Just discovered your channel. Excellent job! You speak clearly, the camera angles are awesome and you explain everything very concisely and easy to understand. I don't have the board game, but I did just buy the PC version, and this really helped me understand the rules better. I'm going to subscribe to your channel and check out what else you have. You have a new fan... Keep up the great work!

This is exactly what I needed! Thank you!

My copy of GloomHaven just came in today. This video was honestly so helpful in just being able to visualize what the rules actually mean. And the annotations for the mess-ups. Which to be fair, I believe it adds to authenticity of showing what a game is really like. Now that I'm a lot more comfortable in the rules I know I can bring this to my gaming group and get a campaign started with them. Thank you for your awesome playthrough!

Great job here, Jon! Thanks a lot of this video, now I'm not as much scared of the game with all its pieces, rules and physical weight :D

Just getting into Gloomhaven. Great video to watch as a newbie. Thank you!

Just found this play through, extremely well done and helpful to better learning the game. You should do more Gloomhaven dungeons!!

Awesome playthrough, thanks!

Great Playthrough! Thanks for doing this!

Great Vid. I just got Gloomhaven and am starting a couple of campaigns. I appreciate the non-spoiler play! Good job on this one. Thanks.

Incredibly well made play through!

Great video bro. You have a calm voice and your scenario was entertaining and helpful to watch

Awesomely done Jon

This is so helpful for a newbie; much appreciation from my gaming group.

Really great video! I’ve ordered this for solo play and waiting for it to arrive and honestly I’ve nearly cancelled my order a few times due to complexity worries... but then I watch this and remind myself why I ordered it in the first place- the gameplay!!! 😄

Great video. cheers for taking the time to make it buddy. subscribed.

Thanks a lot for this playthrough! My copy is coming some time this week.. im hoping to actually find it at my doorstep when i get home today! Haha this video got me even more excited for it

Wonderful walkthrough. Hope I can snag a copy for myself for Christmas. I'd hate to miss the second printing!

Awesome video! Thinking of pulling the trigger on this game if I can find somewhere in stock. Also, love the Malazan references you’ve added to the names!

A lot of depth in the explanation, very nice.

Love the names, been looking for the fourth Malazan book recently.

Super late so I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this... At 1:40:00 you are actually right while recording. The Elite Ooze does the same amount of damage as the regular ones. It has one additional range.

really appreciate you making corrections through the video

Thank you very much for this helpful tutorial!

Nice job. Very informative, waiting on the reprint.

I actually enjoyed this playthrough. Nice video!

Love the Malazan names! One of my favorite book series.

Nice! Thanks for the vid.! I was sitting through the whole video and enjoyed it! =)

great job Jon!!!!

Thank you so much for this video. Got a sub outta me. Easily the best play through that I've seen.

Awesome video, learned a lot and appreciate the added corrections

great play through, very easy to follow along. Keep up the good work.

I highly recommend sleeving the cards, for some reason the card stock will start to gather gunk on them over time. At least ours did.

Thanks for this great video of the playtrough . Im Gonna watch iT again tomorrow , after Then i think im ready to play the game for the frist time :)

A malazan fan! Great video!

I enjoyed watcking the full playthrough and it was great you edited in the mistakes you did. Your mistakes helped me understand how difficult it will be to remember everything in this game. Got the game yesterday, opened the box and tried to start the first scenario alone just to get an idea, but I didn't understand much. With your video, hopefully it will be a lot easier. I just have to read the rulebook a few more times :)

Great video. Played two games of Mage Knight over the last two days and have been looking for another game where you can level a character and combo several abilities to do great things. I play Mage Knight almost exclusively solo, but this looks great for multiplayer. I am checking out the KS for the 2nd reprint. Thanks for all of the hard work that this must have taken to film.

You had me sold on continuing to watch as soon as you used malazan names.

I can't wait to get my copy!

this game is crazily daunting at first, sooooooo many stuffs to keep track of

I've really enjoyed seeing your gloomhaven videos. I encourage you to bring more awesome gloomhaven gameplay

1:09:40 You forgot to "infuse" the room with night magic from when your character went invisible with the smoke bomb earlier! 1:16:40 I'd bet the damage modifier on that wind demon's attack card was not a typo. My guess would be that it's a big area of effect with a low chance to hit, relying on a modifier of +1 or +2 in order for it to actually do any damage. Thanks for this video, though, the format is fantastic and made it super easy to get a taste of the game's combat. I definitely want to pick this up, but first I'll be passing this link around (along with your review) to see if any of my friends would actually play!

awesome overview of turn flow, 10/10

Excellent resource. Thanks.

this great. i feel like i understand how to play now

This was great! Thanks for the vid :)

Great job sir !

The card "Single Out" has 4 charges, but since you put the marker on the first charge when you played the card, without using it, you basically skipped it and used only 3 of those 4 charges. Beside that, it was such a good playthrough! Really loved the clear explanations, the camera work that showed all the cards and the text overlays which correct minor mistakes or explain something complicated. I wish all board game channels would do it like that!

1:02:17 "invisible' wears off at the END of the NEXT turn, so when activating at the beginning of your turn, it will be on for 2 turns. But your video is extremely well made, and seeing the amount of mistakes we made last night during our first game, this is peanuts... And super nice that you added the comments at the mistakes. I learned so much from your video, for sure a big thumps up! Thanks!

Thank you so much for this fantastic video!!

Haha, I love the Malazan names!

Long live Steven Erikson and his Malazan world. Respect for the naming of your characters.

Thank you! I’m buying Gloomhaven based on your play through.

excellent job and thanks!

Great video. Thanks a lot!

wow..this game looks dope!

Some buddies of mine on discord was talking about board games and this was one of them so I decided to look at it

Excellent video
