Finally brought this out after what, two years on my shelf. Went through the rule book and watched a dozen videos but THIS video finally clarified combat attacking and counter attacking. Playing solo in story mode before I get my kids to play. May use house rules later but for now I’m happy to get through the campaign and know what I’m doing. Thank you!!
Great stuff, this helped out when I first got into the game and every now and then when I haven't played in a while =) I can also add that this is a really fun board game. Sometimes I mod the rules and other times I actually play by myself; me playing a party of characters. Not to sound sad, but that is sweet feature as gathering people to play with sometimes can be a hassle xD
Thanks for watching and posting. It is not sad that is one of the reasons I like coop games so much because I can play them by my self and still enjoy them. Still love playing with others but peoples schedules don't always line up;)
Great learn to play my friend,I was very impressed with the game already but now seeing the play through I know I will be buying it soon. I would love to know if I could share your video on my Facebook page?
I really appreciate this video, thank you! Something I'm still confused about, though, is: 1. If my hero attacks a mob, can a bam inflict a wound on a minion...and then the swords potentially kill off a second minion? 2. Do all minions only have one health? The rule book says they have the same characteristics as the boss, so I wasn't sure if that applied to health as well. Thanks again!! ❤️
Thanks for watching and posting. For the questions I am going to change the order you asked them. First each minion will have a number of hit points listed on the enemy card so if we look at an example of this on a level 2 Dwarf Warriors card it shows 2 heal so each minion in that mob will have 2 heath. Going back to question 1: Bam symbols don't do anything on their own you will spend them to activate skills and enchantments and each skill or enchantment can only be activated once per attack no matter the number of bams you roll. Next to answer your question yes you can, but it also depends on what you are doing lets say you have a level 1 great sword equipped to Bjorn and you are in a shadow space. you roll a red die and the side that has 2 swords and a bam comes up. Now you can spend the bam on the great sword to add an additional sword to your attack or do a wound that bypasses defense with your shadow skill. Using the Dwarves from above each has 2 heal they don't roll any shields on their defensive roll so you go with the extra sword giving you 3 swords that will kill one dwarf and do 1 wound to another. The only exception to this is if you have remaining swords after defeating all the minions they don't go to the boss. You must attack him directly and only after all minions are killed. Let me know if this clears things up for you;)
@@LearntoPlayGames yes, it totally does! So I could essentially wipe out 3 minions if they only have one health each...and they don't roll any shields and I roll 3 swords. Nice! One more question..... regarding stun. If you stun an agent, he uses his enemy phase to get up... He isn't able to spawn a guard card at the end of that, right? Oh! And if an enemy is stunned, any enchantment abilities don't get activated, do they? Say one of the roaming monsters has a heal ability if he rolls a bam on his defense. He wouldn't be able to use that, since he's stunned, right? Stun is such an overpowered ability lol
Very nice presentation - but I thought it was said somewhere that you were going to say what you think of the game? So... what do you think of the game?! I know the campaign is said to be duff and I don't much like having skill sheets you have to mark and keep track of but apart from that, I'm thinking I prefer the look of this to MD2...
What happens when you die, do you go back to the start? If your out of life tokens and 1 player dies but there are still 3 players active, does the game end or do the 3 other player attempt to finish it?
Great video, but I still have a couple of questions. Like, do all the mobs in a space get their own attacks against the heroes or do they attack as one single entity and roll their dice once and be done with it? Can characters use their actions to attack 3 times (instead of moving) or after you attack once are you done?
Thanks for watching and for the questions. So for the first one it depends on when you are talking about it if you are talking about an enemy retaliating after a hero attack each enemy the hero attacks gets to attack back if attacked and they are still alive. now if you are talking about during the enemy phase than all enemies get to attack and each mob is handled separately one after the other. So for example if you have a dwarf mob and a goblin mob you would choose one to activate first following enemy rules than once done you would activate the second mob. For your second question yes you can attack 3 times with a hero. this is true for most actions so you could do 3 movement actions getting 6 movement points. hope this helps let me know and if anything else comes up or if you are still confused about these questions.
27:16 Q1: treasure items on this tile would have always been lvl 1 even if current lvl of the quest is 2, correct? (as another character got the lvl 2 tile meanwhile) Q2: when you've got treasure items from boxes or from dead enemy and you decide to pass "freely" to another character on same area, you mean this is not count as an action? And if I pass them later on to another character on same space, that's an action, then?
Thanks for watching and for the questions. So first your current level will never impact what treasure you pull so even if your current level is 3 and you pick up treasure on the level 1 tile you will still get level 1 treasure unless you get an advanced treasure which will be one level higher than the tile it is picked up in. Question 2 yes when you get treasure from an enemy you just defeated or from a chest you can choose to immediately give it to another player in your space without using an action, but if at a later point you want to give a player in your space an item you will need to spend an action to give or trade items. hope this helps and if not let me know I can try to explain it differently.
Thanks for the reply, but Q1 was different: I know about character lvl having no impact on treasure or such, in fact I was refering to "current lvl of the quest": as said, one character might have got Tile 2 earlier and then token lvl 2 flips from black to active (while on Tile 1 token lvl 1 goes from active to black); at this point what level treasure items (or event/enemy cards) get when you pick them up (or reveal)....level 1 (as the Tile 1 , but not active) or level 2 (as the current lvl 2 quest, but on different Tile)?
I was referring to some of your question in my previous answer but let me try it in a different way. So lets say some of your characters are on a tile with the token lvl 1 and you have one character moving ahead to the next tile which is lvl 2 now that tiles token is the active one and the other gets flipped to its nonactive side. After that one of the characters on the nonactive tile finishes clearing a room and picks up the treasure there which is normal treasure tokens, they will draw treasure cards from the deck matching that tiles lvl not the currently active one. So in other words you can't pass on picking up treasure and advance deeper into the dungeon with the intention of coming back later after a higher lvl tile is active to get higher lvl treasure. It has not impact on the treasure you collect the tile it is on will determine the treasure you get. Now the other part of the question was how does this affect the monsters , so monsters work differently they are spawned based on the currently active lvl so in the earlier example lets say after the second tile becomes active one of the heroes opens a new door on the now nonactive lvl one tile and the door card has you spawn a new guard card you would draw a guard card from the current lvl that is the active lvl (lvl 2) and a treasure from the lvl two deck to pair with the drawn monster. This also works with the event cards. Please let me know if this answers the questions you had and it clears things up for you if not I will be happy to try to explain it a different way. Thanks again for the questions and for watching.
Ok to make it much shorter to my Q1 and to my 2nd post: - Treasure cards always refer to tile level (active or not active) - Monster/event cards always refer to current/active quest level Thanks

Your welcome thanks for watching, sorry you had to go through so many videos and I am happy to hear mine was able to help. Have fun and stay safe;)
Very nicely done. I just got the game and this really helped me jump right in.
Thanks for the feedback and have fun with the game. I had a great time with my family playing this;)

@@LearntoPlayGames Nice way to put it. Hat's off to you, Sir =)
Nicely done.
Just bought the game. Thank you for the tutorial. 👍
Your welcome, hope you enjoy the game;)
Great learn to play my friend,I was very impressed with the game already but now seeing the play through I know I will be buying it soon. I would love to know if I could share your video on my Facebook page?

Oh! And any additional swords will go towards additional minions?? I think we've been playing it wrong for several years now lol

Glad it helped, thanks for watching and commenting;)
Good vid I just picked this game up for a fun romp.
My dad really likes this one and it is just a fun game. Thanks for the feedback and the comment.
What happens when you die, do you go back to the start?
If your out of life tokens and 1 player dies but there are still 3 players active, does the game end or do the 3 other player attempt to finish it?
#lifebringer tokens should scale with #heroes.
Very good video.
Thanks for watching and leaving feedback;)
Q3- When you open the door and draw A card if it says ambush at the top does that enemy automatically attack you and end your turn
Great video, but I still have a couple of questions. Like, do all the mobs in a space get their own attacks against the heroes or do they attack as one single entity and roll their dice once and be done with it? Can characters use their actions to attack 3 times (instead of moving) or after you attack once are you done?
