Note: When you gain more items than you are collecting, the extras are shuffled back into the Item deck (not put in a discard beside it).

I know right? I've actually had an idea for a Twine game telling the story from Will's perspective, but i'm afraid that that game will never see the light of day, because i'm way too ADHD to ever finish something that complex.

I didn't even know this was coming out until a few days ago when your video popped up. I immediately thought it was a game we would enjoy and I pre-ordered the game that very evening. It arrived yesterday, and I finished off reading the rules this morning. The rules arent too complicated and are presented quite well throughout, then as always (if available) I finish off by watching a 'Watch it played' video to ensure I havent missed any rules. Now I feel confident and ready to deliver 'the teach' tonight. Looking forward to introducing this to my gaming group, it looks like a blast. Thanks Rodney for creating content that has become a must view in how I learn to play new games but is never dull and is always enjoyable to watch. Great stuff 👍.

So, I watched this wonderful video, read the instructions, played Season 1 solo with 3 characters and lost. Came back to watch this video again and realized a made a few mistakes - go figure 🙂 Thanks again for such a wonderful explanation of this game, and to be honest a bunch of other ones on your channel (I would say all of the ones you have done, but I haven't watched every single one) :-) Shame on me! But, this game is now one of my favorites, being mostly a solo gamer, but I have two daughters that love Stranger Things (as do I) and they have been away this weekend, but we are planning on playing co-op tonight! That is why I needed to kick the tires solo, and then come back and watch you video :-) Note - my second copy should be here tomorrow - I bought the 2nd one after watching this video. Here's hoping another set or two will be done to encompass Season 3, 4 and the final! I can't stop saying thank you enough! And CMON has posted an official Eleven dashboard - printed, laminated and ready to play 🙂

I thought you can move out of a space with an enemy if you start your turn on an enemy space, you just can not do the space action, you must instead fight the enemy? I understand you can not move past an enemy space, but if your turn starts with an enemy on your space can you move or do you have to fight the enemy first?

Let's take this in parts. First off, if you "start your turn" in a space with a foe, you can leave that space, as it says here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fbCogpae3NXbZZc.htmlfeature=shared&t=349 (also on page 10 of the rule book). If you are in a space with an enemy (either because you moved into that enemy's space that turn, or because at the start of your turn you didn't choose to leave an enemy's space), then you must use your action to fight it: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fbCogpae3NXbZZc.htmlfeature=shared&t=440 (also page 10 of the rules). Hope that helps!

That's a tough one to answer, as I never feel comfortable trying to assess for someone else what a game "feels" like. What one person might experience could be different from someone else. For what it's worth, I felt they played quite differently, but again, that's not to say you'll feel the same way.

@AvisKarlux

First. Rock on! Thanks for the Rules explanation. Now, I assume there is not item discard pile from the rules. It just says to shuffle it back in the deck (where as at 8:51, you say to put it in the discard pile). It's weird, but I think it can be a hard thing to remember than when refilling the Ally/Patrol or adding to the Lab on the board, it doesn't have the top token revealed (because that's what you do during setup).

@@WatchItPlayed the rules also have a side note "REMEMBER: Characters can have up to 2 Items at any time. If a player would get a 3rd Item, they must choose 1 to discard.". You only shuffle extra items back into the item deck when choosing which item to take. I assume the discard pile is the disadvantage of already having 2 items when you want to add a new one; therefore the one you no longer want goes to the discard pile and won't be available to draw again next time.
