"HEXplore It® is a hero building adventure board game. Enter a realm teeming with fantasy creatures, heroes and villains.
Select your hero by combining two character options: your Role and Race. Your Role is your profession and your Race is your heritage and species. This combination drives your Hero's strengths, weaknesses and defines their special abilities. You'll use dry erase markers to keep track of your hero's strength.
Travel across the map earning power ups by completing quests and battling opponents of several different types. Move carefully to avoid multiple dangers and travel from city to city, visiting shrines and ruins along the way.
Gain power quickly, for the Dead King also moves... He takes away your cities as you play the game. For each city he destroys, he gains more power.
The object of HEXplore It is to power up your heroes as quickly as possible, to eventually defeat the Dead King himself. The game is won if you confront and defeat him, bringing light back to the Valley."

One correction: The dead king token is not replaced by the mini. The token represents the dead kings target location. We'll talk about this more in the Rules Overview video!
What an excellent, generous giveaway! Thanks to the Hexplore It people and you Adam for putting it together.
This game just looks so fantastic. Looking forward to seeing your play to see the game flow.
Thanks Jason!
Can’t wait for it myself Jason! Best of luck in the draw 🍀
Rolling Solo lol, I don’t put much stock in my luck. It’s more often bad than good. Makes gaming quite an adventure! As long as the games go to good homes I’ll be happy!
haha Luck is a tricky thing indeed. Excited to draw the four winners when it ends. Should be exciting!
Amazing! Was waiting for a playthough of Hexplore from you!
And 4 winners for Hexplore It! Holy shit! Thanks!!!
Odds have gone up a bit! Good luck 😁
Old video but just getting the game in today so was great to watch it . Thanks for it
This was a fun playthrough! 😄
Thank you man great video I look forward to spending my time exploring this huge game
You’re welcome! Hope you enjoy it. See you around here 😄
been watching your channel lately and it has helped me a lot to get back into board gaming. Awesome to learn about solo games and games that have solo variant. keep up the awesome videos. Can't wait for the follow up video's for hexplore it.
Nothing better than hearing I was able to bring you back into board gaming! Thanks for taking the time to comment and I hope you enjoy the content going forward. More to come in the future for sure! :)
Wow! 4 winners! Really looking forward to this playthrough
That's right raider! Better odds for everyone involved!
Amazing I’m backing for both right now and will save me some money if I win this one thank you again for the chance
Thanks Koolaid!
Great plan! Good luck :D
I'd name the Guardian Angel Clarissa, after Clarence the Guardian Angel in It's a Wonderful Life, and the shifty summoner Tempest, after Shakespeare's magical play.
Awesome suggestions! Thanks for sharing them and watching! :)
Just got mine! 😊
Please do Adrimon too. I've watched this series way too much :P truly my favourite of your playthroughs.
It was a lot of fun to film! Thanks for watching Jens :)
When putting down markers for quests, the A or C tile icon on the card also shows you the hex position of the quest on that tile.
Thanks for the feedback Bill! If it appeared like I guessed where the quest markers go, my mistake. I was using the hex on the quest cards to determine the quest marker locations. See you in the next one! :)
The one thing I noticed is that they should have re-printed where the circumstance deck goes facing toward the bottom of the table on the other side of those pieces. That way you could either face the information towards the opposite side of the table and when flipped playing solo they are facing you. Just a thought.
Game seems a little complex. I wonder how it stacks against Mage Knight.
Thanks for the feedback and thought. I can see your point. There’s a bit going on for sure but it’s a great system and very expandable. Cheers
@@RollingSolo since you have experience in both games do you find similarities between Mage Knight and Hexplore? Which would you recommend to someone on the fence about both games? Which do you find more difficult to learn?
That’s a good question. I think it took longer to get Mage Knight down. As the combat system has quite a bit going on and when learning you’ll be reference icons quite a bit. HEXplore It also will have you referencing the rulebook to ensure you’re playing correctly but I found it easier to pickup. With experience Mage Knight has a tighter system. If I had to pick I’d lean towards Mage Knight based on it being one of the first solo games I learned. Neither is a bad choice, HEX is great too!
Hello Adam, thank you for the ever more generous giveaways!
I have one suggestion that I'm sure you've considered already, but I'd like to bring it up nonetheless. I think it would be a tremendous addition to your content if after every "first" playthrough you could take some minutes to give an honest opinion about the game you've just played, however formal or informal you'd like the "review" to be. Particularly on newer releases as it was the case of City of Kings, it would have been great to know how you felt about the general flow of the game.
Cheers!
You bet Gil! I'm working on something in the future in regards to this. I'm not into doing 'reviews' as every review imo is biased for a number of different reasons but I woudn't mind breaking down a games pros and cons. So I'm looking into it to see whether it's doable. Thanks for letting me know your interest in it!
Oh,man. I have been waiting for this.
That's what I like to hear! :D
Another great video! Many thanks. :) For the names : Guardian Angelborn Saviorel , summoner Shifter Alwinra Lavreau. :)
Thanks Olivier! Great suggestions on the names as well.
Angelborn Guardian: Azerial
Shifter Summoner: Silva
Thank you for the opportunity to win, this game looks great!
Awesome suggestions Bill! Good luck in the future draw too 👍🏼
Dead King doesn’t start on the map
Quest locations on the cards...there’s actually a reference dot inside the tile shape icon showing exactly where on that tile the hex is located
That’s correct! The Dead King is awaiting his moment to show up. Each quest card has a hex which I used to match up the quest token with as well. My mistake there was using the word 'guess' because I actually knew based on the positioning of the cave on the hex. Thanks for watching Doc! :)
I am going to start playing this game with volume 2 starting tomorrow as a campaign style game with my own house rules.
Have fun on your adventure!
Now I can start to play.
That’s what I like to hear!
Nice, really looking forward to this one!
I'll see you there Stuart!
Xenia the AngelBorn Guardian and Whisper the summoner shifter
Thanks for the name suggestions! :)
Raziel might be a good name for the guardian
I agree with that! Thanks for the feedback Johann 👌🏼
i just ordered this game and volume 2 on miniature market.
Awesome! Get ready for a load of adventure. :)
@@RollingSolo just got it in about to open and see it all. Gotta go to work thou so cant play it yet plus I just got folklore and am playing that right now.
There's two epic adventures for you! ;D
Honestly Adam, buy the camping gear for each character , they replenish one energy each turn ....
Great suggestion Jon. I’ll do that! Cheers
Naming -->
Summoner: Fizzalbitz
Guardian: Kreetcha
:-D
Thanks for the names Nefarious!
Good video …but what is “get-go” is that an Americanism to mean from the “start” ?
Yep, just another way of saying “from the start” but faster haha
Glad you got low food rating races....the oracle didn't want you to starve on your first game ;)
ahaha Sounds like a good thing to me! ;)
The only possible name for an angel born guardian is Phteven
Thanks for letting me know your name DP!
Finally. ;)
Hope it’s worth the wait! 🤞🏼
Hey, I'm new to your channel & would like to understand your format a little more. With your video series on specific games is there a summary / review / final thoughts of your experience & whether you rate the game?
Hey Rob! Glad you found us. My Showcases include an unboxing, solo setup, rules overview and playthrough series. I don’t do reviews on the channel, but I have other things in the works but don’t want to mention anything here just yet. Hope to see you around Rob!
Thanks for the detailed reply. Looking forward to checking the content out
Sounds great Rob! Hope it helps you in your decisions! :D
Good day sir, Is it worth to own both coreboxes? Also wondering how strong the story element is. And finally, how would you compare this to runebound? Thanks for sharing your thoughts! Grtz
Hey AF! Basically they’re two different volumes in one game world. They follow a similar game system but are two stand alone games. Based on the KS, they can be merged apparently. I’d suggest checking on the KS page to stay up to date! Cheers!
The story is as strong as you want it to be. It’s enough for a board game but if you’re looking for RPG, it allows you to throw in your own take on the world. Using your imagination for example.
Well, the Guardian obviously needs to be named Mercy
Thanks for checking out the video and the name suggestion Sl1vers! Cheers
Name the summoner Erica
Thanks for the suggestion Carolina! See you in the next video :)
Love your videos. Good stuff! When can we expect the rules overview? I really want to know more about the game to know if I want to back it
Also, is this a campaign game? I cant seem to find it anywhere...
Hey Joost, thanks a lot! I don’t give out estimated times for videos but it’s in the works :)
I’m unsure whether the new expansion will allow characters to continue on from this one. That’s something worth asking on the Kickstarter. If I run across the answer I’ll let you know! Cheers
Garael
Great name choice Wojciech!
