Unleash Your Inner Explorer: Conquer Runes & Ruins on a Solo Adventure
Great video, thanks! Just a note on combat. You pick your target BEFORE you start rolling and adding skills NOT after. Makes quite a difference. Nice combat rolls on the crocs BTW. :)
Thanks for pointing that out! Might've accidentally made it a bit easier than intended 😅
4 hordes triggers you losing and 3 zombies in a space at the end of the killer phase creates a horde not anytime
Great review!
Thanks for checking out the video! Glad you enjoyed it.
Why is only the free version of pnp available?
It looks very appetizing and I like the theme. When will it be available in retail? Or at least the pnp version?
I've asked about this in the Best with One Discord. Once I have an answer I'll reply to this!
Had to come here for reference. I got the series 2 stuff today and when I went to put the final girls into the cast and crew box, not a single one of them fit in there. Pulled out my series 1...and turns out they put a series 1 final girl mini holder in the series two box....
Oof, I'm sorry to hear that! I'd suggest reaching out to Van Ryder support. They are usually great about addressing things like this.
@@boardgameapprentice yeah, I emailed them yesterday. Will more than likely hear from them tomorrow.
I am really loving my Dieson Crusoe too. Though I want to use the Print and Play to reprint the maps and color some things to make them easier to read. The tiny day by day icons can be hard to see/interpret.
That sounds like a great idea! Please share how they come out if you end up doing that.
10:20 ah yes the microfibre plastic. I remember why I chose the pnp version.
Glad you still had a way to enjoy the game! PnP is a great tool.
I missed this game. Backed the Rome one, designed by Jon, 18-card mage knight + gloom haven himself!
That one looks great as well! If Dieson is any indication of quality, I'm excited for all the solo board games of the month.
unfortunately, in the wrong hands, full of typos and mistakes.
I think the state of being engaged with content, in this case a game, is not only diffrent for different people, but diffrent for the same person on diffrent days. For the most part, it is not a puzzel that engauges me, but story. Bring me into a good yarn, and I'll stay with it until the end.
Dear Board Game Apprentice, i just wanted to applauded your bravey in coming out so puplicly as a coffee drinker. Please dont dedpair, there is help out there for you. Earl Grey, with a little honey and a splash of oat milk.
Where is my reskin of game with coffee?😤
I am a fan of teas infused with fruits, mainly orange. I love this game. I play tested this game quite a bit and I really enjoy it. It is my favorite out of all the Simply Solo Scott Almes games, not including the 8th game that was play tested a little while back.
Mmmm, love some fruit tea. The Last Lighthouse is still my favorite in the series. I love the tower defense mechanic / Lovecraft theme. Come to think of it, that'd make for a great list video 🤔
Funny thing. My very first experience with Final Girl was getting and playing Station 2891. I personally don't think it is hard to get into it. But yes, extremely thematic! That's the feel I got when I was looking at which one to get and, man, it seriously delivered!
That's awesome! Glad you enjoyed it
When resting, you get +5 healing by paying one meat AND one fruit, it's not one meat OR 1 fruit
Thank you for pointing that out and checking out video! I also realized that while editing. Corrected in party 2!
Another great board game video. These just keep getting better and better. I love the, "ooops," sound effects. Repeat after me, "M-I-L-K."
Just wait till you see what the milk man does in part 2
A really clear review. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching 😊
Good video thank you :) I bought this when it first released as it was discounted at launch but been so busy with work I haven't had much time for gaming. Good to see how it works though and makes me excited to try it out.
Thanks for watching! Hope you get a chance to play soon, happy surviving! 🔪
In the killer phase you should be using Hans killer action (seen on the top left of the finale card) and then draw the terror card. You skipped Hans action each turn (move and attack)).
Thanks for pointing that out! However, Hans' killer action doesn't have a "boot" icon so he doesn't move. He only attacks his current spot.
@@boardgameapprentice Whoops you are correct.
Bad luck! Cool background you got there however
It happens! Thanks. It's from the cover of my favorite Goosebumps book, "One Day at HorrorLand". Figured it was fitting given the location we played.
You seem to have forgotten that you can discard action cards to gain time. That whole maneuver with playing Focus to gain time was totally unnecessary.
Good call! I've learned since recording this to be more aggressive discarding cards for time.
How the game works with multiple players?
It plays the same, just with players taking turns on who places next card with the chance to discuss on card placement. A bit like how the sprawlopolis games play if you're familiar with those.
@@boardgameapprentice Oh right! Thanks!
Love how they use the D20 D&D die for Stranger Things. Such a nice little Easter egg.
Not on board with your action card theories. I think building trust would make more sense with the savior rather than the killer machine. And problem solving might be needed to solve the puzzle box. Maybe a way to open the gate to the Hellscape.
I hope so! Opening the box would be an awesome Hellraiser homage.
So if you have a location that has 3 people and 1 zombie, the 1 person that takes out the zombie also dies in the process, since they're not counted as a survivor when scoring?
Exactly. The survivor and zombie cancel each other out when scoring.
@@boardgameapprentice thank you for replying I appreciate it. Might pick this one up! :) Do you have any recommendations for other 2 player buttonshy games? (The only one I have currently is Sprawlopolis)
@@fizzy965 "Tussie Mussie" (Split/Choose), "Why I Otter" or "An Otter One" (Trick Taking), "Skulls of Sedlec" (Drafting/Set Collection), and "Death Valley" (push your luck) are all awesome 2+ player games
@@boardgameapprentice thank you again! :)
I was going to pass on this one, but you changed my mind. Just backed.
You're one of the few board game channels which show the game off well. Keep it up!!!
Thank you so much for the kind words! Sometimes I worry it sounds like gibberish when I'm explaining games so this is nice to hear.
I’m hopefully for the future of this system, but right now, I’m most excited for Cave of Djinns
Same here, can't wait to see what the community comes up with!
Of this set of games I have to vote for Arcane Artifacts. I esp love the one that gives the pts to the "lowest score" -- making people's strategies change.
I'm with you. I also don't have many multiplayer ButtonShy games so it holds an even more special place in my collection!
Great game and video! I like that we as a community can design more games using 1 or more of these decks. My favorite game is Nine Perils, and Djinns as I am a solo player mostly. I also got to playtest the expansion that expands on Nine Perils and makes it more of a Nine Perils Campaign game. I won't spoil the name of the expansion, but will be announced during the campain later on.
Thanks for watching! That sounds incredible, I'll be watching the updates with great interest 🔍
Very. Nice looking forward to get my
Awesome! Which game are you most excited to try?
I just got into final girl and I love your playthrough, thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! Welcome to the Final Girl Family 🔪
Great video. Looks fun. Favorite character without a doubt is Rick.
Thanks for checking video out! Solid choice. I'm a big fan of comic Andrea!
Great video! Keep it up! Very well spoken, great overview, great quality all around.
Thank you for checking out the video & kind words! :)
I have this one coming in the mail and am excited to play it. Watching your overview, it gives me vibes of a solo single-round Neuroshima Hex, and now I’m wondering if that game could be adapted to solo play.
Thanks for checking out video! I haven't played Neuroshima Hex, but if it's similar to this I'll have to check it out!
I just discovered your channel with this video. Easy subscription. I don't really like spatial puzzle board games (bullet, under falling skies, castellion, etc.), but for some reason I have been enjoying this game a lot. I like how quick it plays and I'm still discovering the strategy of how often to explore vs occupy.
Thanks for checking out the video! Same here, I still find myself exploring too often and not utilizing the occupy survivor abilities.
Because I'm unfamiliar with the source material, my favorite Walking Dead character is, Board Game Apprentice. Also, i wasnt interested in this one until I'd watched the video. I just ordered the base game and the expansion. Guess I'll be a bit less unfamiliar.
No need to be familiar! Just give all the characters made up funny names.
So glad you had a great time! Come back next year!
Thanks for running a stand-up convention!
Women votes yeah
Oak & Iron was my gateway into miniature/historical war games (sailing ships in the age of pirates). Fort Circle sounds great, maybe next year. Oh, great thumbnail.
I'd like to thank my Executive Producer Kate for the thumbnail inspiration
Hey stop this discrimination. As a 50+ dude I have plenty of challenge in such JR games. jk
Hahaha no judgement here
Awesome work! 🎉
Thank you for the kind words and checking out video!
Nicely done! Great production value!
Thank you 😊
What age do you think Rove Jr is for? 7 or 8+. Thinking this would be a good solo game for my son to have, maybe to keep in the car or take it with us camping. Thanks for the fun video!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed the video. I've seen it mentioned by Button Shy that their intention is 6+ so it might be a good fit!
Thanks for the guide dude 👍 Very good video.
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you enjoyed it.
This and your S1 video are the best 2 videos covering final girl I've ever seen. Your coverage of the locations gives me far more feel for the game than anyone else has. And you give time to the title characters, the final girls! Thank you. Hope you do a season 3. I think you've managed to convince me to jump into a few features from s1 Well
Thank you! Truly appreciate the kind words, and glad the videos were helpful! I'll certainly be doing S3 coverage.
Just backed the pledge, thanks for the thorough video!
Thanks for watching!
My favorite game of all time. Right in front of Dune Imperium, Cthulhu Wars and Guards of Atlantis 2.
Don't want to get ahead of myself, but this might crack my top 10.
Environmentally conscious game...didnt you remove shrink wrap? Also, I kept hoping your lively hand would tip that plant off the table. Also, Ibwould like to see a live play. Also, i just ordered a copy. So yeah, effective video.
Hope you enjoy it!! You'll never forget your first time going down the chutes.
