Great videos (as always.) The one thing that seems to be missing from the rules is a succinct way to sort all the components to get started (without spoiling everything.) I think the information is there somewhere, but it's sort of spread out across the rules. For instance, I thought the attack modifier decks in the character envelopes were the starting attack modifier decks and was so confused why they were all different sizes. I know it says in the rules that the attack modifier cards with the class symbol are added later, but it didn't quite click. I needed your video to clarify that every character starts with the same 20 card attack modifier deck, so I went searching for them in the box and only then realized that the M is for monster, and the 1, 2, 3, and 4 represent the players. The rules are great and easy to read, but this much information is tough to organize for all readers. One of the many reasons your videos are so helpful. Thanks!

Late to the game but very excited to start this quest. Had a question that I can’t find an answer to anywhere. If the monster stat card has a range of “-“ but the ability card has “range +X” is the range applied due to the ability or not applied because there was no range to begin with? TIA
@GamingRulesVideos4 жыл бұрын
The range +X is not applied unless the enemy has a range stat. However, note that even sometimes, enemies without a range stat (guards) still can do a ranged attack. If you look through their attack modifier cards, you will see at one point, they do an attack with range 2. I think this represents them drawing a spare dagger and throwing it at you :)

Sorry for the delay. Your X cards are always available. Think of them as level 1 cards, but they are a little bit more complex and you should only start using them when you are comfortable with the rules. And yes, before a scenario, you can freely build your hand of cards from any that you have access to (which at level 1 is all your level 1 cards and your level X cards). Hope that helps.
@cornichon25807 жыл бұрын
Can you talk a little about the rate of xp gain and leveling up? I think you mentioned on BGG that you were about five scenarios in and the characters were level 3. That surprised me a little. It looks from one of the character sheets that characters need to gain 95 xp to reach level 3. I've played the intro scenario, and it seemed like the person who gained the most xp only reached 10 or 12, so I wouldn't have expected any characters to reach level 3 after a handful of scenarios. Similarly, how likely do you think it is that characters will reach level 9 before retiring?
@GamingRulesVideos7 жыл бұрын
Your first characters should definitely retire before reaching level 9. I estimate that my character will be level 6. We each gain around 15xp per scenario at the start, so it took us 3-4 scenarios to level up to level 2. Remember that you get a certain amount of xp for successfully completing the scenario, so our characters were generating 8-12 each and then a bonus of 6. Our Scoundrel seems to gain xp faster - she was level 3 after 5 scenarios. However, we are now 7 scenarios in, and all of us are now level 3! Progression of characters feels about right.

Hi Paul. Thank you for these videos! One question, do you have to write on the map and stick stickers? If so, how can this affect to Replayability? Thanks in advance!
@GamingRulesVideos7 жыл бұрын
Well, the replayability is an interesting thing. Put the campaign map aside for a minute. You have 95 scenarios, all of which are totally replayable with 2-4 characters of any level. Thats more replayability than any other game I've ever seen. Now... take the campaign... All the map does is to track which scenarios are unlocked. So, theoretically, once you have "finished" the campaign (which will take you about 200-300 hours of gameplay), and you did want to start again, you could just track which ones have been unlocked on a piece of paper in the same way. So yeah, its definitely replayable should you run out of content.

The only cards which have stickers put on them are the ability cards. They are small stickers. There are a few options: a) dont worry about it. When a card gets a sticker, just keep the card improved forever. Even if you reset everything, just leave the cards stickered, they dont make a big difference. b) buy the "reusable sticker" pack available from a 3rd party c) sleeve the cards and put the sticker onto the sleeve itself

Hi great review, I have my copy on the way just wanted to ask about solo starting characters. I have played games before where is difficult to juggle multiple characters in solo gameplay. What would you recommend for solo play is it possible to play one character or am I a missing out by not using multiple?
@GamingRulesVideos6 жыл бұрын
Hi. There is no actual solo mode in the game unless you count the solo scenarios, which I would definitely not start with. You need to play with a minimum of two characters, but you can play them both yourself if you want to. I'm not personally a fan of playing solo games, but I know many others who enjoy playing it this way. I'd advise not taking two "weak" characters together though. Maybe include the cragheart or brute at least.

The stickers on the map are not really a big deal, and you can easily just play again afterwards if you wanted by keeping note of which scenarios are unlocked.

One thing that may possibly work, or might just fuck up the board completely (I don't know how it would react) could be to drill a set of holes into it to glue cylindrical magnets into, then they wouldn't be sticking out sticking out and keeping it from folding up fully. But that may be far too extreme a measure just for the sake of having removable stickers.
