Honestly, I watched your Arkham Horror gameplays, now I go through the Grail and I think these are the best boardgame playthrough videos on YT, I like the humour, the conversations... well done, shame there are no new videos since a year though!

D'oh, I was just a few minutes from the end, haha. Thanks for the great playthrough you two! Really fun to watch and I added a few questions to our FAQ list :D.

I see why the game says that each character should do one action, then the next character does one. That way, with multiple players they aren't just watching for a long time. Even solo, it's probably a good idea so you don't have one character get too far ahead and then you realize you have to come back for something that the other character discovered.

00:57 I’ve had it confirmed that you should have only revealed one event card. We did exactly the same thing and most people think that you do reveal two, but I checked with awaken realms and they said only one

Oh awesome! I noticed this was available for pre-order and was fairly certain I'd seen that you'd done a playthrough. This will help decide whether or not to purchase the game.

My wife started playing with me and she gave up after 30 minutes. She said “too many things to keep in mind.” I played solo with the app companion. Props to you and to your wife; she is persevering to learn. PS - you got yourself a subscriber.

Best game ever!!!cheers!!!!

Stopping at 1:50-ish to avoid major spoilers regarding the questing. But great tutorial to see how the game works. I seriously cannot wait for this game. I'm in so much pain mentally trying to just forget about it for now.

An easy way to check if a diplomacy encounter has multiple stages is to check the Roman numerals on the right side of the card.

Oh how exciting, I do not know if I should look or not ... Oh the hell what's it, until the German version comes it still takes time so thanks for your video 🍻

Wow, this looks like a game with a lot of possible downtime. Still looking forward to receiving my copy.

I started watching live and enjoyed it. I did have to head to bed around 8:30 but got to finish the watch while at work.

Got mine a few days ago. About to start the epic journey lol

Unless I am mistaken on the rules I dont think yall could have done the dual diplomacy at the end. When she entered the location it triggered the encounter and yall won't already in a party. I dont think you can create a party after the trigger happens. Also the exploration that happened right after that I think was done wrong as well. Since he didnt pay an energy he shouldn't have participated which messed up the math. Just my 2 cents.

Diplomacy around 3:15:00 - you only get the bonus from the symbol if you connect that Attribute, not if you have it.... In this case Empathy - you connected Caution and moved it up one on the track

I do wonder about the cancel mark at the free key [1:25:46] because if it says "cancells icon" it might mean it cancels everything. Did you guys get an answer or comment on that one?? I just started to play and the combat (especially in two-player party encounter) has been hard to figure out.

1:45: I think there are 8 around Cuanacht. Because 101 is not around itself. :-)

00:12:39 well Rob, times they are a' changin' :D

Here I am two years later, following along on tabletop simulator as a solo player. It's a bit hard to learn, I might have to pick up a physical copy to play on my own.

53:06 ish the very last line of that set up card is what told you to flip the first event card...

Oh man. It hurts to see all the rules errors. :P I assume you fix them pretty quick though if I know you guys right. :D

I love the look of the Exploration and story stuff in this game, but the combat looks pretty tedious to me. I hope things are a bit streamlined in the new standalone expansion.

3:25:00: Did yo go through your Combat and Diplomacy cards? Depending on the number of symbols for Practicality and Empathy on all cards you could decide if you need a cube there.

1:55:20: Don‘t you have to solve the ‚action‘ on the right hand side of the card first? 1. Go up because it‘s red. 2. Solve the connections => Done

At 3:10 u draw card as it is end of turn. Should not u both play first then throw to 3 cards then draw a card and then enemy respond?

Pay attention the game's hints.....and the mission in course....

At 2:38, I'd look at the helmet as if it's armor.

Hey Rob, I am super late to this party, but I just noticed Awaken Realms has another pledge manager open on Gamefound. I buy these types of games with solo play in mind, if I can sucker friends in to it thats great, if not, I bought it with solo in mind. That being said, did you back the new Tainted Grail over on Gamefound? What do you think of the changes? If you were me, would you back it knowing what you now know after playing it? Thanks and happy gaming!

When you flip over the second event card 56:04, does it say to spend one food and one wealth card? Or does it say to pay one food or one wealth? Also, the rules say that the events can be paid by one player if you are in a party. Both get the exp and rep, but not other benefits. Or am I wrong in this?

I bought the game for a tooon cause I cancelled my pledge years ago. We got to Chapter 3B and got wrecked as we literally thought rushing was the right idea. We had 3 Menhirs lit with like 4 or 5 days still left on the Cuanacht one, so the Encounter decks got way too difficult while we still sucked. We ended up getting bogged down, constantly drawing 3 difficulty encounters and not having the skills for them. We've since restarted from the beginning as different characters, but we're really demotivated as we got wrecked so hard and now have to re-read so much stuff. I've read a bunch of options for Story Mode, making things easier in other ways but I also don't want to make it so easy that we just rip through the game and don't get the 'full' experience. At that rate I may as well just read it like a book or watch a full playthrough :/ Loving the playthrough to get some ideas for the first Chapter smoothly. Do you have any other tips or ideas to help us out?? Thanks!

Really need timestamps...Turn 1 seems like it starts at possibly 44:15...that's a long preamble to get to turn 1.

1:50:00 So, instead of wasting energy exploring the location you decided to waste energy moving to a new location? I think you ended up wasting more energy moving than you would have exploring the Mounds. Also, you're supposed to resolve "play right away" card abilities first, because they go off the moment you play the card. Then you go through the links.

Renamed as the Fail of Avalon.

If you are concerned about spoilers, then why even stream? Makes no sense.

If you are that concerned about spoilers, then maybe you should not have done a stream... You used far too many spoilers in this video.
