I like the play mat you're using in this playthrough. Please, Can you post where to buy it.
Thanks! It was with the Jasper board game table kickstarter. I don’t know that they sell it anymore unfortunately. It was boardgametables back then and I think it’s changed to Allplay now.
Thanks.
Informative and not a second longer than necessary. Perfect video.
@@Dr_Maturin thanks so much for the kind words!
Awesome job! Thank you!
@@TheBlakeWhitaker thanks so much for the kind words! Glad it was helpful.
A perfect rules video, thank you very much!
@@Coalgolem thanks so much for the kind words! Glad it was helpful
Thanks for the video. Playing this game tonight!
@@thecroseknows thanks for the kind words! Glad it was helpful!
At 18:11 would the npc not have gone for the 8 and 1 on the top right?
Rewatching I think you’re right 😅. I’m always so worried I’ll miss things like that while trying to talk and play.
@@thediceyreview its okay! everyone misses little details like that xD this was an AMAZING video regardless! I just picked up the game myself [i manage my LGS lol]and enjoy watching it played rather than reading the included booklets! So thank you for the time you took to make this video!!
@@bonzaivtube awesome thanks so much for the kind words. That sounds like a really cool job! Glad it was helpful.
Doppelt so clever is more intricate than Ganz Schon Clever.
@@junepaologuarin8762 it’s got more going on for sure
Is there negative scoring? My partner and I were trying to play and he immediately drew from the well and picked up 8. He didn’t have a score yet ? So is that -40 ?

Great video, well done. Meeple hug from Portugal
@@sandro92759 thanks so much for the kind words! Meeple hug back from Texas.
Love this short!
If a player reaches 18 pts at the end of the round by evolving a Pokémon, do you still play the next round?
I love this explanation. Just got me a second-hand set with expansions. Thank you!
@@vexinglex4996 awesome glad it was helpful, have fun!
Great explanation, thank you!
@@youvelookedbetter thanks so much! Glad it was helpful!
It’s a card shop life there’s not much going on on week days
@@zaqxswcdevfrbgtqazws now THAT’s a callback.
So in a 2-player game: if someone can’t show but still has a scout chip, they can play it and not end the round - i.e. the it’s the next player’s turn? That doesn’t make sense. Because when I had only 1 card left, my opponent played a 4-card run… I only had one card in hand and a scout chip. I then play the scout chip, steal the lowest card in their run and now they have to beat it themselves??
If you can’t show, you have to use the scout chip and get the 2nd card in hand. You can’t end the game when you want to minimize your penalty at the end of the round.
Thank you, was looking for an English explanation because I just discovered it on BGA
@@HeatherBarker216 awesome thanks so much! Glad it was helpful.
The 2-Player-Game is totally unlogic and boring. One round takes around a maximum of 2 minutes. We played it with house-rules. 4 scout tokens ea. Then it's potentially a longer game.
@@tigerxray8046 I think it shines at higher player counts for sure
😂😂😂😂
Are these ever coming back?
@@shortydancer I need to make more yes. For some reason I’ve had a hard time coming up with content ideas for all the TikTok shorts lately but I’ll make some more soon.
Thank you so much for the help! I had a bit of a struggle understanding this game. As always, stay safe and well, and may beautiful colors fill your world 🌈
me audibly trying to hold in my rant about why the eagles can’t be used bc this is a Joke: 🤐🫢 (insanely good Gandalf impression btw)
Haha thanks! It’s the classic joke and I know there are reasons why it wouldn’t work, it’s always fun to try and oversimplify.
Great video thank you. 🎉
😅
Doing my part to help the algorithm. This is a great how to and I really appreciate the quality of the content you put out, even the humorous stuff.
Awesome! Thanks so much…much appreciated.
Is it so that you turn over the tiles from the inspector one by one and after all are used you make new stacks? Which makes it that his possible moves are more predictable.
Thanks for the video! One question, if you reserve a pokemon just to get a masterball. And you use that to capture a different pokemon later, what will happen to the reserved pokemon?
The Pokémon will stay in your reserve until you catch it. You don’t have to catch it if you don’t want to. Thanks!
@@thediceyreview oh. so it seems like you can do this to block certain evolutions from other players in case you have no intention to catch it and just get a masterball? since it will just be in your reserve. is this correct?
@@junelpagtakhan5740 you could use it like that yes, or you could just make sure you save one that you want to do so it doesn’t get stolen. You just can’t reserve one of the legendary/rare ones.
Thanks so much for the video and instructions!! I do have a question that I can’t seem to find an answer to. Can multiple players occupy a single Journal space at the same time? Or would journaling paths have to be different?
Thanks so much for the kind words! Yes multiple players can share journal spaces except for the right most spaces.
@@thediceyreviewAwesome, thank you! And, absolutely! This’ll the be the heaviest game we’ve played to date so I suspect I’ll be watching your video a few more times, haha!
Thanks for the great video, Just a few questions. How many cards can you place down on your turn? Can I place a card in the mountain and my feild in the same turn? Can I place 2 or more of the same cards on top of eachother either in the field of the mountain in the same go?😃
Really helpful thank you
Thanks so much! Im glad it was helpful.
Can I get an evolution from a Pokémon by paying for it, without using the evolution method and thus not discarding the Pokémon that evolved?
I don’t believe so. I think the Pokémon has to be discarded.
@@thediceyreview why? Isn't it just buying a card?
@@user-ed5fs2sb2z maybe I misunderstood the question sorry. If you have a charmander and want to buy a charmeleon without evolving you absolutely can. If you evolve any Pokémon though you have to discard the original card under your character piece.
If you keep picking up tiles because you can’t find a match and say you end up with 10 tiles before finding a match. Are those 10 tiles added to your personal collection
Amazing! Thanks so much for this.
Nice overview!!! I backed the game so now i am more excited!!!
Thank you so much for a great overview. My know it was a year ago that you made this but am I mistaken that throughout most of the game, you had too many cards for the hand size of Spider-Man? Maybe I’m missing something. (I am very new)
Thank you. Just like I read. Give you 5 stars for adults but was wondering if you can explain for young kids or beginners. Trying to explain to my granddaughter and daughter who aren't gamers like me.
VERY good tutorial! Thank you!
Can this game be played only through icons? So is it a language independent game?
I believe there are some event cards that have some text.
I like this one, espcially with the small exxpansion/s (promo/s). For some reason some players I play with seems to dislike it or have a bad impression of it though (I guess to low score on Boardgamegeek or the fantasty style is the issue). As it is quick I see no issues with it being repetitive, it is a card game...
I really like this one too. I wrote an article about it on my blog about it being such a hidden gem. I have a bit of nostalgia for it too because at our first BGG Spring we played it about 17 times with my brothers and friends. Really great drafting game.
Great done now i check the rules
Finally! A comprehensive video of good quality explaining it clearly. Struggled with all the online translated rulebooks. This was spot on
Thanks so much I’m glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this video! I found it very helpful! Clear concise and paced very well 😊!
YOU TRYIN TO JUMANJI ME?!!!!
I know you won’t be Jumanjied because you will not put yourself into a position to BE…Jumanjied. Jumanji comes OUT of Jumanji!
nice! do you have the rules walkthru competitive mode on video?
24:15 - The reason you should always roll one dice at a time when two Space Marines are eligible to be attacked is that if the kill roll is first than the second Cultist will attack the other Space Marine which might kill him as well. The way you roll multiple dice you cheat the Cultists out of attacks. You played it correct at 25:20. 24:52 - Actually it needs 2 moves to get out of it. "PITFALL TILES: The first time in a round a Space Marine makes a Move action whilst in a pitfall tile, that Move action has no effect. That Space Marine must make a second Move action in that round to move from the Pitfall tile." In that case it didn't matter because either way Brother-Sergeant Artellus needed his extra activation to just move out of the Pitfall. But you forgot to use his ability. Fun playthrough. Yes, this game is pretty hard. Especially for a Space Marine Adventures one. But it have the most versatile terrain layout. The randomization each time is awesome. In comparison The Rise of the Orks have ultra-stagnate terrain, absolutely the same each time with perfect position for every class that if you don't take you play suboptimal. So the game is extremely similar and repetitive every run. But Doomsday Countdown's randomized layout is a very strong positive trait.
18:44 - You forgot to respawn the slain Champion. 22:50 - No. You need to have Line of Sight to the target, not to your teammate. Brother Siceran's "Auspex Scanner: When a Space Marine (including Siceran) makes an attack roll, if Siceran has line of sight to the target and the result was a 1 or 2, you may roll the dice for that attack roll a second time." 31:26 - Too late for that - as you read earlier (26:18): "Play this card after a Space Marine activates". Not after the enemies activate. You need to plan ahead. So you definitely deserved those two 6s (31:45). Anyway fun playthrough.
Great explanation of the rules !
Doesn't the other player get the 1 point token, if their card gets scouted? Im confused if you can only scout 3 times, or if it is also possible to gain scout token from your opponent, thus giving you more then 3 scout times per game
In the normal game yes, in the two player variant you can only scout three times and you only get additional points for any scout chips you haven't used.
how many cards are in this version? I need to buy sleeves when my copy arrives. thanks
watched the video. there's 90 + 5 + 5 . correct me if i'm wrong 😄
My copy had 91 total. I had a promo come with it.
