Hi, excellent video. Pardon my ignorance though, regarding morph shields, what is the significance of removing a damage cube at the end of a combat round once all opponent ships are destroyed because all damage cubes are removed anyway at the end of combat? Thanks

ok. just asking if you still do videos and would do a videos on the new expansions that came out?. just such great videos from before so i would loved a new one for the new stuff :)

Love the core set and picked up the Gondor and Elf starter decks. This is very helpful as I plan my future decks and purchases

Danke!

Whenever I look at the time bar of a rules teach and it exceeds 30 minutes, I just don't watch it. I want to save time on learning but reading usually takes around an hour or two so why watch a video. But this? This was amazing...Do not regret one bit, and the entire hour is actually fun.

Don't do like I did and try to play this with 3 or 4 players. And if you absolutely have to, don't do it when you're trying to teach the game to ALL of them for the first time. 💀

Absolutely stellar work. I've watched all 3 videos on one night shift. Loved every minute of it as a returning player. Pretty sure I'm going to rewatch all three tomorrow night then get playing this weekend. Thank you very much, I'll be sure to show you some algorithm love 👍🏻

Very instructive!! How could someone play the actual Trilogy starting at Baggs End and ...which games will be needed ? Thanks in advance..

19:32 - 19:54 - THAT IS NOT TRUE, you cannot trigger effects that lasts "until the end of phase" from outside of phases. You cannot trigger Protector while resolving Balrog attack from Doom, Doom, Doom that happens "at the end of the quest phase". Quotes from Caleb: <You cannot trigger any effects that last until ‘the end of the phase’ during an attack that was initiated at the end of the phase. You could still trigger effects that last ‘for this attack.’> <If an effect lasts “until the end of the phase” then you must be in a phase in order to trigger that effect. This is consistent with A Game of Thrones where certain effects last “until the end of the challenge.” In that game, if a character is not in a challenge, then he cannot be the target of an effect that lasts until the end of a challenge. Similarly, if you are not in a phase, then you cannot trigger an effect that last until the end of a phase. This may reverse one or two previous rulings I have made about triggering effects outside of a phase, but it is the simplest answer and it helps to avoid other strange interactions.>

ok man it's been 7 months...we need you to return !!!

You put a ship in the same sector as GCDS and then put a influence disc on an adjacent sector connected to the galactic center, next round your ship is destroyed by the GCDS and you are left with a sector that you have influence in but is not connected to your other sectors with a wormhole connection. Is this a legal move?

Good video. It's frustrating how many of these could be easily fixed by just phrasing the cards better. I was hoping for more from the revised release.

Dreamchasers review please. Loving the game and your series. Finally completed the starter box set.

fantastic explanation!

I'm returning to this game after being disappointed with another highly anticipated solo card game: Imperium: Horizons. The game lasts for far too long, but as someone who's played a decent amount of LotR TCG, I can say that it is just as much of a challenging puzzle. I saw that the most successful One Deck features the contract card Bond of Friendship (there have been a few different hero combinations). Have you tried 4 hero deck construction (single handed solo)? How does this affect game length compared to playing 2 handed solo?

Such a helpful video! Just grabbed me a box!

very well made video

Really well explained, thank you! 😃👍

Here because of Prime Day.

Very well made tutorials. Was curious about this game, but I'm gonna give it a pass, Arkham Horror lcg got the ticket...

Ok, the way you held those decks…you were an MTG player?

If i litteraly buy one of those decks, and one standalone campaign, use some proxy tokens, download rules for game i can basically play without core set?

Whoops! The flavor text for "Cram" needed more spelling "excercises"!

just started playing ico and shadow of the colossus. the world is a beauty to play

Oh, how I love these videos. I thought I'd known all of the rules and complexities, but you show me what I've missed - amazing! Question, though: Part 2, at 16:00 you use the "Sentinel" keyword on Aragorn to have him defend an attack from an enemy engaged with another player. Did I miss the explanation of the "Sentinel" (and perhaps "Ranged") keywords before this point?

This was excellent.

Hi there I’ve got a question, Can I assign additional attackers to an enemy even if only one of the attackers is needed to destroy the enemy card? This is so I can exploit Legolas effect. Thank you ! Great series by the at I’ve watched them all.

Never noticed the typo on "Foe Hammer" @ 43:34 ! "...delight in the killing of *hte* great lord of the cave." Where you disappeared to bud? We need dream chaser reviews, the repackaged saga stuff and the upcoming Erid Mithrin stuff! 🙏

Hi, I actually just got into solo board games lately and I came across lotr the card game in which I really got interested.. I am planning to get the revised core set soon and I am excited to start playing this.. trust me I have read the rule book online many times and watched a lot of videos too but these videos you made were the best, so easy to understand and get everything to my brain. Kudos to you!

As an old player who tries to return to the game, your video helps me to have a clear understanding of the rules. Good job!

This is such a great video. I'll never remember it all, but it is so great that it exists.

Are you done making video's? I have really enjoyed your videos

Extremely good tutorial! Well done mellon!

Nice work, will be returning to this one several times

37:48 Remember, responsibilities are always optional. The Zen of TheGameLocker

Playing two-handed solo should not be a tip for 'new players'.

This is easily the best instructional video I've ever watched for learning new games. Well done and thanks for sharing

Thanks for this video, it’s a great resource 👍🏻👍🏻

35:25 Interesting that the Learn To Play does not include any mention of action windows during the entire Planning Phase. It allows play of Allies and Attachments only. had my first match, one Rohan Starter deck slightly modified, and the "Back to Basics - A Killer Deck Using Cards from 1 Core Set" by Xanalor. It was a distgusting easy win, with quite sloppy plays. The worst cards never played as they ended up as shadow cards (woot no extra effects). I probably should have asked the other player to pull some of the monsters so i wouldn't end up with so many in front of me. Noticed not many cards ever get drawn. 50 cards is the minimum??? We got to draw about 14 cards each, including starting hand.

We need videos for the new content!

I don’t think I’m ever going to spent an influence token on the pulsar; as far as I can gather, it simple means I would be forced to spend one action and influence token (which is permanently placed in the sector) on only one activation rather than getting to choose if I spend that token on typically two activations. That one build planet there does not justify the cost in my opinion 🤔

Nabbed me a bunch of stuff for the game. Sadly the ever popular Silvan starter deck ise sold out pretty much everywhere in AU so I had to dig outside for it. I found myself watching another vdeo series by another bloke that explained the various sets. Sure this cost a lot, but then I've paid for the everything of Arkham Horror. I didn't grab all of the revised campaign sets since some didn't sound interesting to me. Would be wild to play one epic campaign from Shadows of Mirkwood to the Vengeance of Mordor, although I bet the player deck would be godly way before reaching the very last scenario, unless there's some rule dictating how many boons you can have in any deck.

You gotta love how "the easy way" and "part 1" seem a contradiction but the guy delivers! Well done!

amazing video!!!! you are the best ! thank you very much!

Excellent. This is the tutorial that finally got my cards out of the box. Cheers 👍😁

Love to see the other sets if you ever have the drive to do an Unboxing & Analysis for those. These videos have taught me a lot about the game. Thank you for the effort put into them.

1:54 Ah yes. technology is always getting better, and this video hasn't aged too well if it implies that games will get better. Everything has been done before, and a lot of times the best aspects of games aren't carried over into the new ones. Well, I guess that depends on what is considered best. If someone thinks invisible walls, clipping, s, bad writing, bugs/incompleteness, unintuitive UIs, poor control schemes, poor audio, lacklustre tutorials, places where there isn't anything to do (empty spaces), illogical puzzles, pixel hunting, convoluted naming schemes, censorship, non-choice choices (it doesn't have significant impact within the game), and more, are the best games have to offer, then they've been nailing it to this very day. There's been years for improvement, but you don't see much of that at all in the gaming market. I guess the most "upgraded" work is method of play, which is virtual reality. Games have grown to take up considerable harddrive space, but that incease hasn't provided an overall better experince. Games that I feel may be worth remembering, cutting out any you've mentioned: Dwarf Fortress. Black & White. Dark Messiah of Might and Magic. Zeno Clash Jazz Jackrabbit the Myst series. NetStorm: Islands At War Aliens Versus Predator 2 Culdcept The Last Guardian Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. these are certainly in no way the first to do the things they did, but they are very memorable. I have psychonauts and not played it, but there's other games where you play as someone with psychic powers. there's a few of them (not as many as I actually thought).

So this is a Silvan deck ... and this is Galadriel 🤣 One of these things is not like the other it seems. Just hearing the how the deck is supposed to play, I am already in love with it, and Galariel sounds just wonderful. I'm notciing a lot of personal assistants for Galadriel.

I really love Warhammer: The Adventure Card Game. similar wording, some similar concepts. Easier to learn to play. Just as much a pain to set up and pack up.
