Need a skip the rulebook to show me how to navigate BoardGameGeek.com. Never seen the site before in my life.

It's not the best built site around but it seems to have become the defacto site for board gamers to check on whats new and upcoming. The top 100 is always worth a nose :)

Have you played pandemic legacy

Thanks so much for the great compliment! Really made our day :) We will be continuing to produce both instructional and playthrough videos for new games. It is our hope that our subscriber base will grow, but for now we just want to make our favourite hobby accessible to everyone.

Glad to be of help! We both really appreciate your kind words. Hope you enjoy your game night 😃

Samantha Duckworth thanks so much! I definitely agree that rules are easier to digest when you get to see them in context. some of these games can feel very abstract otherwise 😃 Best of luck saving the world!

Thanks so much. Really glad to be of help and also glad that you and your friend enjoyed yourself!

Really glad to be of help! Hope you enjoy your legacy, let us know how you get on :D

Thanks! We try to make sure we cover as much as possible.

cheers. We do script each episdoe so we can try and make sure we dont miss anything and that flow makes sense. Glad you liked it :)

… and now we’ve played our first game, which went really well. Many thanks!

You are very welcome. Pandemic Legacy is a great take on the pandemic forumla since it allows you to have a real buy-in to each game you play. Don't worry if you fail a month or two, i think we lost January AND February at least once before we started to get to grips with things :)

We played about a dozen games of regular pandemic between day before yesterday and yesterday, just to get the hang of it. I think it took about 7-8 games before we won one, playing by all the proper rules. Started Legacy today - won Jan, lost first Feb, and just won second Feb. So much fun. Brilliant really.

I always do a few mock games myself when learning any game (as long as they aren't spoilery) and play through the game at the same time I'm reading the rules, playing multiple players if required. Having a video like this as reference also helps!

You are absolutely right! As at that point in the video we had not yet explained how the role cards worked we had to take one for the team! 😉

Hahahaha, I was doing the same when Ming cured the first disease with 5 cards as the scientist. I also agree though this is an instructional video to the game. Which I have to admit is my favorite game! Great video you two!

Really glad you found it useful. Hope you enjoy your first play through! Let us know if you win :)

+Skip the Rulebook We won! :-D Hope to see more videos soon!

Richard Covert thank you!

4FunRent Thanks so much! 😃

thanks dude! really appreciate it.

Skip the Rulebook Any chance of a Kingdom Death: Monster run-through next? (:)

I would love to have said yes to this one. I was watching that 1.5 kickstarter with bated breath :) I will be trying to get a hold of one you can bet on it!

Erica Shi any time 😃 Hope you enjoy playing!

John Karl hope you enjoy! Nothing quite as social as a co-op game

Swodeyem Glad you found it useful. Happy gaming!

Glad to be of help :) Hope you enjoy it as much as we do! I've not played blood rage but will look it up.

You are very welcome.

Thank you!

Flyboy01S4 you are very welcome 😃

you are welcome :)

Anshul Joshi cheers 😃

Antinuke88 thanks so much! hope you enjoyed your game too 😃

OrMeanGene you are very welcome. Reading the rulebook is the short straw that I always used to draw hehe. Glad we could help you skip it! 😃

Thanks!

Thanks!

thanks :)

Awesome, thank you!

Rick Stone you are very welcome. glad it helped! happy new year.

Any time. It's a game that had got such a huge amount of replay value so I hope your second run goes better! :)

Thanks! Pandemic is one of my favourites. Did you manage to survive your first play through?:

Skip the Rulebook yes we did next time we will do either 5 or 6 epidemic card

I find with pandemic that even when you are losing on the harder difficulties, it's still fun due to being coop. Good luck! 😃

You are very welcome :)

We are yes :)

@@SkiptheRulebookShow I knew it - you guys are so good together!

Really glad you enjoyed it! Now comes the challenge of upping the difficulty hehe.

Jacob Seibers absolutely. I agree that the most complex games are often the ones that most need (and are often lacking) decent tutorial videos. I found that myself recently when being introduced to Arkham horror. In an ideal world we would have videos for each of these but time can sometimes be against us. We do appreciate people pitching ideas so we will definitely look into these for you.

Cheers :) Best of luck saving the world!

Now, I'm looking for your tutorial on Duel Pantheon (7 Wonders expansion) that we just received for Christmas.

we have a 7 Wonders Duel video in the pipeline ;) Not played Pantheon yet sadly but i feel this may need to be added to Ming's birthday present list...

glad to be of service :)

The board does wrap around yes. The outbreaks follow the lines that connect the cities, so if this happens at the edge of the board, follow the line to the coresponding city on the other edge. With regards to the medic, it does not take an action to remove the cubes of a cured disease. This means that if you move through 4 cities which contains cubes of a cured disease, you would remove the cubes from each of them for free and thus only use a total of 4 acitons. I hope this has helped!

James Henry thanks dude

Glad you enjoyed it :D

glad you found it useful!

Really glad to hear that!

Storeslem cheers!

andres montoya it's one of your favorites. glad you enjoyed it

Glad to be of help dude! One Quiet Night can apply to any player's turn, you simply ignore the infect step that comes after it. This means that if you play it during your own turn, you ignore your own infect step, if you play it during another player's turn, you ignore theirs. It is important to note that if you play this card DURING and infect step, it does not apply till the next turn (it must be played before the infect step that you are trying to avoid. You can't view the cards first then choose to use it).

Thanks :). That's the way we've been playing it. We haven't won just yet after 2 games... which leads me to believe we must be playing it correctly!

It is a tough game to crack, but very satisfying when you do :)

Apologies that this reply will likley miss your first playthrough, hope it went well! Advice for first time players is think carefully about the synergy between the character abilities as you can get some really good control if you do.

Absolutely. It works really well as a solitaire game. I have even seen tournaments built around that basis where each player is given the exact same deck setup. They then compete to see if/when they defeat the game.

squishy duck once a disease is cured, the medic removes cubes of that type simply by moving to a city that contains them (they no longer need to use an action to do so). The line you just quoted from the rulebook simply indicates that this is also true if they are moved to a city by the dispatcher.

Ashley Kohl I would definitely recommend that you start with the standard pandemic board game as it is superbly rounded and the mechanics are tried and tested. One of the biggest releases of recent years was pandemic legacy (and recently legacy season 2), but although these add a different feel to the game, I always preferred the original. The legacy mechanics make the game change with each play through by removing characters and adding mechanics. This means to get the most out of it you have to guarantee the same gaming group for each session and you end up trading replay value for narrative. Don't get me wrong, I think most gamers own both at some point (including us), but I always go back to the base game. Make sure to pick up 2ND edition if you go for standard Pandemic though (it's the one we demoed in this video). Hope you enjoy! 😃

blue skills Glad you to be of help 😃

Any time! :D

[TCE] Nomad each colour is counted as being separate.

Thank you :D

Sean Grady thanks! Legacy is fun but I think you get more replay value bout of the the original. I would suggest both. keep legacy for a regular group.

Skip the Rulebook Thanks! I will subscribe. I'm a board game geek. Very helpful!

This is second edition.

wow that really would be playing it on hard mode :D Glad we could make life easier for you!

You should try it once, it'll make the game even more "exciting"....hahaha

Except in the game the American government tries to help :P
