Way too cool.. been waiting a very long time since I bought the original and all the character packs for this one.. and I hope they produce more at a good pace. I play Hero Realms more often than Star Realms now. This looks a bit confusing at first, but I will study and practice when it comes out. Thanks for another great video Rodney. A playthrough of this would be AWESOME!!

Hello there. Great video and explanations! I have a quick question regarding Targeting Restrictions. At timestamp 8:07, you mention that it is possible to target non-prepared minions in a player’s area during a player’s turn. How can a minion in a player’s area remain non-prepared after the Master’s turn? I believe that you mention at timestamp 7:42 that all active minions in a player’s area are put back in prepared position. And therefore, they cannot be non-prepared when the player’s turn begins, right after. Thanks for your help on this!

@WatchItPlayed 3 жыл бұрын

This is a rule they have "in case" they create card effects that would allow for this to be possible in the future.

Hey Dom, I've a small bit of info for you. Hero Realms & Ruin of Thandar are not a board game. They are a card game. Many people attribute non video games as a 'board game' but they have no board! There are board games, role playing games, dice games, card games, etc! They are all 'tabletop games' however.

After the master is fliped, and the mastery returns back to his deck. If he gets a mastery card again does it stay attached to him until the end of the encounter?

@WatchItPlayed Жыл бұрын

Yes, since his card won't be flipped again.

I didn’t at all like the rules booklet, you a given 150 cards and no real idea what to do with them. I would like the starting point to be: sort all cards this way, set aside these cards, leave these in the box, replace these and so on. Should I mix all items into my draw pile? What do I do with all the abilities and skill cards? Should I really replace an ability with a skill card? I’m still not sure.

@WatchItPlayed 6 жыл бұрын

Normally I try my best to clarify anything that is confusing, but it's a bit tricky in this situation, as I don't know exactly which cards you're looking at that you are unsure what to do with - and I lent my copy of this game to a friend, so I don't have a version to cross reference against.

Hey Eve, I think it might help to watch the video again, as the details of how this work is covered there, and then if you have a specific question about a rule, could you include a time stamp to it in the video, so I know which area you might need more hep with.

Unless there is a different translation in the french version of this game, there is an error in this video. You said that when a player/hero dies, the masters cards in front of him go to the master's discard pile, but in my french rulebook it says the cards go in front of the next adjacent player/hero. Also, i have one question. When gaining a new treasure card to upgrade cleric, ex. Veteran Squire I believe it's named, it says on the card it replaces Squire....but there are 2 Squire cards in the base deck....should it replace only 1 or both of them?

@WatchItPlayed 2 жыл бұрын

Hey there, I shot this long enough ago, I don't recall, and I've since passed the game onto a friend. If it helps, the publisher did check the video before it went live, so I'm relatively confident we had it right - unless they updated/changed the rule?

@keylliemedina9370 3 жыл бұрын

Hi When you have a imp minion in front of me and I have a red symbol in play it says stun the imp. Does that mean tap the card or discard back to the Master's deck? Stun in the Ruins of Thandar confuses me a little but it is a great expansion!

@WatchItPlayed 6 жыл бұрын

The easiest way to think about this is that minions are treated like champions in regards to game effects. So a stunned minion is sent to the master's discard pile.
