This is arguably the best how to play rebellion video out right now, nice work.
Thanks so much, this was a big game and I really wanted to do it justice.
I agree with the positive comments below... this is by far the BEST tutorial on Rebellion! We’ve been trudging thru our first play and this cleared up many little thing we were doing wrong. Excellent job!!
Thanks so much, This one was challenging and it is great hearing it is helpful. Thanks for watching and commenting;)
This has been tremendously helpful! The included manuals are only somewhat helpful and fail to describe the intricacies of the game. On our first playthrough we were hit with several moments of "what do we do now?"
I totally understand and wish Fantasy Flight would stop doing the split rule books I have never found them helpful. Thanks for watching and posting hope you had a great holiday;)
The manuals are actually very helpful imo. I understand them. But I've played a lot DnD so that probably helps. There were somethings that I learned through videos on CZcams.
After watching other reviews, this one is by far tops. Great job.
Thanks so much, that is great to hear. Have fun playing!
I agree, I watched many Rebellion how to plays and this one was the best
Thanks so much, I worked very hard on this one and I am still looking to do a video for the expansion as well as soon as I can catch up a little.
Best and most intuitive tutorial I have watched so far thanks
Excellent video! Very methodical explanation with great examples. Thanks for making it!
We're hoping to get our copy next week and can't wait to play!
Awesome, thank you! Hope you have fun with it;)
Excellent! The video is engaging and taught us everything we needed to get started.
Thanks, this one was challenging but I had a lot of fun working on it;)
Very nice. Thank you for this very clear tutorial. I think I might be ready to play it now.
That's great, hope you enjoy the game and thanks for posting and watching;)
Great tutorial, not played SW Rebellion for a number of years, great video to relearn the rules. Nice ine, thanks.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching and posting;)
Great tutorial!!! very helpful. Thank you Lance....
Thanks;)
This is such a good teach. I tried to watch other ones and they were not this great. Thanks!
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching and posting. Hope you enjoy the game😉
I agree. Best tutorial video for this game. Thank you ❤️
Thanks so much, That really means a lot;) Hope you have a great new year!
This is an incredible tutorial. Very detailed, love the examples you've shown as well. The BEST SW:Rebellion video out there :-) You got a sub in me :-P
Thanks so much;)
Thankyou that saved me a lot of time trying to work out the rules, 10/10.
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching and posting hope you have fun with it;)
excellent video ... thanks for doing this!!!
Thanks so much I am happy to hear this video was helpful.
This was very well done. Thank you.
Thanks for the positive feedback, I worked really hard on this one so it is great hearing it is good;)
Great Tutorial. Thank you!
Thanks, I put a lot of work into this one so it is good to hear that it was helpful.
You should do a war of The ring tutorial vídeo! This is great!
Thanks so much;) War of the Rings is one I am in talks to do so we will see what happens.
@@LearntoPlayGames that would be amazing!!
Thanks for this video ! Very clear and complete even for a non-native english speaker like me
Have you tried playing with four players ? Would you recommend this "variation" ? (not sure if that's the good word)
Your welcome and thanks for the feedback, it's good the hear that my videos are helpful. As for your question I have not tried 4 players. I think it would work good depending on the players as the second player on each team does not have a strong role within the game but having two players on a team can be fun as they can come up with different strategies. Thanks for the question and for watching. Please let me know if you try 4 players and what your thoughts are on it.
@@LearntoPlayGames thanks for the quick answer !
We're trying 4 players this sunday, I'll definitly let you know how it went
Fantastic Job. I'm curious about the fact that, since this was made in 2018, you didn't include The Rise Of The Empire Expansion....have you not played it, or have you played it an just prefer the original?
I feel like the RotE Expansion does such a great job in altering the combat and making it much more engaging, thematic, and clean.
I also enjoy the additional units and leaders and green dice from the expansion, feeling they add a lot to the game without being clunky or stuffy.
(I also personally thoroughly enjoyed Rogue One, which the expansion is inspired by)
Will you be making a future video on it?
Thanks so much for your feedback and for asking about the expansion. I would love to cover it in another video in the future. I will talk with FFG to see if this is something they would like covered. Sounds like a great expansion.
This has been one of the best videos I've seen for this game, but for the Rise of the Empire expansion the channel Harsh Rules has a part 3 of how to play Star Wars Rebellion that just deals with the expansion and how to incorporate it. Especially since it swaps put some cards permanently.
Great video! buy I have a couple of questiones since we were playing in 2v2 with my friends:
1) A turn doesn't end until every leader of every player has either passed or played something? (Mission, activate System or counter-Mission), also, can each player activate more than one mission?
2) In combat, do you pick tactical cards every combat round? or you just pick them up the first round only?
Thank you!
Thanks for watching and for the questions. So for your first question I assume you are talking about the command phase. during this phase players take turns following the initiative number shown in their leader pool, during that player's turn he can activate a system, reveal a mission that one of his leaders is assigned to or pass this will continue moving from player to player until all players on both sides have passed. The second part of your question is yes if that player assigned leaders to more than one mission. during his turn he would resolve one of the missions of his choose than when it comes back around to that player again he could resolve the next one.
In combat, you will only draw tactical cards at the beginning of the first round because after the first round any subsequent round will start with space battle step which happens after the draw tactics card step.
Hope this clears things up for you let me know if you have any other questions;)
How do you fight, Ie repel an invasion if you don't have a leader in the leader pool?
This is very good. I wish that I could have found it on Board Game Geek.
Thanks for watching and posting;)
Guess which game I’m playing/learning this week? I’ve read the core and expansion rules and I’m watching this to make sure nothing slipped the cracks. Hope you’ve been good.
I am good thanks for asking, Hope you have fun with it. What side do you like playing more?
@@LearntoPlayGames This Sunday will be my first game. Both sides seem fun so I would be fine playing either side. Since I’ll be teaching the game, I’ll probably end up being the Rebels, first.
Omg ! What a tutorial ! This was perfect !
How many times you playd this game so far ? And do you stil ejoying it ?
Is it Possible to have a blast 2 vs 2 mode in this game ?
Thanks so much, I have not played as much as I would have liked to, but yes I still think this is one of the best Star Wars games out there. As far as teams you can do that but I have not tried it yet.
But what do you play when you have time to play this one ? I want to buy it now , just tell me what is better game and what game you are giving the most of your time ?
@@TheMalimica unfortunate with what I do I must move onto the next game as soon as I can. I published 21 videos in October so its not that any game is pulling me away from playing Star Wars it is every game;)
Thanks for the awesome, detailed review! However, i have some questions which would be great to receive some answers for:
- Can you activate a system and start a fight with more than one leaders from the leader pool? For instance sending all of the imperial leaders for the final battle against the rebbelion
- For the rebellions there are 3 ships with the same icon. During the building phase do they build all of these ships for one of these icons from a system (or can only chose one)?
- What happens if the probe deck is out of stock? Do you reshuffle them again, or not? If not, than the rebellion can not move their base away anymore? In case of the other decks if i understood correctly you can reshuffle once they run out of cards right?
Thanks in advance.
Did you ever find answers? I haven't thought of these questions but the last question is really good. From my understanding currently Q1: only one leader at a time Q2: pick one to build Q3: reshuffle
Question 1: you can use more then one but you only take the ta card values that are highest. You can’t add both leaders values up and use them all
Question 2: pick one of them and build that one
Question 3: once the probe deck is empty the empire should know exactly where the base is at. If they don’t they may not fully understand how to play the game.
Further. Given that the rebellion can only move bases to cards that remain in the probe deck, if no more cards are there, then they cannot move I believe.
Great video but I don't really understand activating systems. Can you do it infinitely in one round or only once as doing it more than that seems unfair. I might have missed the explanation somewhere
Thanks for watching and for the question. So you are limited by the number of Leaders you have in your pool and any leader that does not have a tactics value can't activate a system. Other than that you can activate a system multiple times.
Movement is another key part of this as units can't move out of activated systems. Hope this helps if not let me know.
Just bought game and this tutorial is great for start (finally someone without expansion). One minus is video quality - everything si too dark :)
Thanks for watching and the feedback. I have made some major changes to both the cameras I use and the editing software to make sure my newer videos are much better quality.
@@LearntoPlayGames When I learn how to play this game, my next project is Gloomhaven - hope you have some material on that too ;)
In the advanced set up, it states you only draw two action cards. Does this mean in the advanced game you only start with two leaders that you choose from these two cards?
so with the advanced setup you will still follow all the setup instructions on page 4 and 5 up to step 7 step 8 is replaced by the four steps found on pg 18 than you will return to pg 5 and finish steps 9 and ten. So you will still start with your 4 leaders you will just get to action cards to start that might be useful or not depending on what you draw. Let me know if this clears it up for you?
What happens if you have more units to deploy than places to deploy them... given the 2 unit per location rule. Do you lose them or do you retain them for the next round?
Thanks!
Good question.
Thanks for watching and for the question. So the answer to your question is on page 7 upper left side under deploy units where it states If a player cannot (or does not wish to) deploy some of his units, he places these units back on the 1 space of his build queue. hope this helps.
@@LearntoPlayGames thanks!
Thank you for this. What I don't understand still though, when the rebel announces their mission and it happens on their rebel base they put the leader on the secret base space. In that moment didn't they just tell their opponent where their secret base is?
You’re confusing “rebel base system” with “rebel base space.” The “rebel base space” is a separate space located in the upper left part of the game board that is a proxy for the “rebel base system.” The “rebel base system” is the system in which the base is hidden and is represented by the “space.”
@@johnf285 much appreciate the clarification. Thank you
If we recruit leaders 4 times in a game, that means we will use not more then 8 action cards ( ...More if we already have same leader in pool ),
But ...WHY ARE WE PUTTING ACTION CARD'S WE DON'T CHOSE AT BOTTOM OF THE DRAWING ACTION PILE ? If we are not. going to use them ever again ? Why we are holding action cards deck after 5. round if we are not going to use them again later in the game ? WHY having those action cards in front for no reason , can't it be more easier to just drop them back at the box after 5. round ? ANYBODY ? THANK. YOU
Thanks for watching and for posting. I think with most of this there is no reason you can't return them to the box both after you gain a new one and after round 5. It is just personal preference.
But it is not personal , The game is telling you that . I just wonder why ? Maby there is a way you can get more actions after 5 round ? Maby in future exspansion ...
Any vid with expansion?
Not yet but I am talking with FFG to see if that is something they want to happen. Fingers crossed.
