You're welcome.

I am a backer already. Thanks for the offer though... maybe consideration for a future game.

@@MerlinsManor Thank you for backing! And of course!

Thanks. Be sure to check the description for my edits for errors I made in the playthrough.

You only take a side effect card if you take two or three pills at once. If taking a single pill, you do not draw a side effect card.

Have fun!

Good catch. I must have been getting him confused with other special victim(s) that cannot be targeted by the killer and can be killed by you (such as the Loser Boyfriend from Wingard).

@@MerlinsManor Oh, right, the Loser Boyfriend exists. But I think it's the only exception (or one of the very few, maybe we'll see more in Series 3). Generally speaking, if something is defined as a victim, it's something the killer can kill and the final girl can't harm.

It is quite a lot at first. I was fortunate enough to have an experienced gamer help us learn standard Gloomhaven... and much of those things carry over for this version as well. Jaws of the Lion is perhaps the easiest way to learn Gloomhaven as it holds your hand for the first 4 scenarios (tutorial scenarios)... adding new rules each game. Still pretty complex to learn, but not as overwhelming at first.

Was there a special effect that I moved multiple hordes for? I believe standard movement in terror cards apply to all hordes, but if it is a special effect then just the closest horde. And yes, I forgot about getting the card to your hand when you find the vehicle.

@@MerlinsManor At 22:58, with the Terror card moving the Killer (meaning Hordes don't merge). Anyway, very good video. I like the editing and errors reporting.

​@TonioLagoule ah, yes I see. You are correct. That was a major error. I will add that to the description.

You are correct. I forgot this rule. To be clear, this only occurs when a victim dies from something other than the Hatchling itself, which did happen around 7:45 or so and I should have lost a time.

@@MerlinsManor Thanks. I have to say, this “film” is good, but the rules are not entirely easy to cover in total... For instance I also do not really understand: if the monster disappears because it grows to a youngling, the manual says: if the monster disappears, immediately end the killer phase. But it is imho entirely unclear if the Ambush cards are part of this killer phase or not. Because literally taken, I would disappear the youngling and not take an ambush card, because the Killer phase ended. I think this is not the intention though.

Hmmm... It's been a while since I have played this one, but I feel like I have interpreted it as not drawing a card the round it vanishes (not sure what I did in this playthrough). I could definitely see it being interpreted the other way though, since later it does say you skip the actions in the killer phase and instead draw an ambush card... but that could just be phrased that way to explain that you don't do the innate killer action or draw a terror card and not mean the Ambush card is not part of the Killer phase.

@ I think the expression of this rule is ambiguous. One could read it both ways I guess.

Thank you!

Thanks. I played it through and then sold it. That is always a possibility.

Cool!

I am totally fine with some luck in games, especially when it can be mitigated like it can in Final Girl. It can be frustrating when you fail due to luck, but it can also be very satisfying when you succeed and provides some added tension to games... but of course everyone has different tastes, and perhaps the luck involved in dice games just isn't for you... and that's ok. Plenty of games out there without dice.

Thanks!

Then you, sir, have great taste in board games!

Thanks for checking out my video!

"Natural Resources: Players earn 1 VP for every visible Natural Resource that is adjacent to at least one piece placed on their map."

Thanks!

I am not quite sure what you are asking. Are you talking about destination cards? And if so what do you mean by spaces marked with the Landmark symbol? Are you talking about the card icon on the hiking area that starts on day 5? If so, those are not there for when you can play a destination card, but for when the new color cards come out. If not, can you elaborate further? And as far as the second question I would need to know where in the video you are referencing to have an idea of what was going on.

Yes... I thought about calling it that :)

Thanks!

You're welcome.

Good catch. I just overlooked that space.

You're welcome.

It would. And if they added more lessons, they could use a module system like the original game or just say take out X amount of lessons. I'd also like to see Oshax if they wouldn't unbalance the game too much (maybe make them cost a fish to take).

Terraforming Mars Ares Expedition is a game where the beginning focuses alot on building an engine through green and blue cards with red event cards scattered here and there and then by the end you really need to try to milk the benefits of the engine you built primarily through Actions and production (especially for the solo). Most of the fun comes in the engine building and then I personally find the overpowered ending rewarding from a well-built engine. Dorf Romantik is fun. It gives vibes similar to Cascadia when it comes to the matching of landscapes on tiles, but with the challenge being trying to fulfill tasks through matching certain amounts of terrain in groups. The game doesn't really have a win/ loss condition, but rather you unlock more challenges as you go... and the better you do the quicker you unlock new things.

@@MerlinsManor Thank you for the detailed explanation!

That sounds almost too good to be true. Guessing you found the axe on turn 2. What attacks did you do? I'm guessing mostly double successes too.

Another TM lover I see. And I am glad you liked this video idea. I thought about doing one at the start of the year that is most played games in 2024, but concerned it might be too close in time to this video... but I did look at my list and there were only a few crossovers with my overall plays list, so it may still work.

Thank you very much!

I sometimes use victims as shields towards the end of the game. Works like an extra Guard.

oops

I have had the expansion for so long, but have not tried it yet. My friend has the expansion too, but we keep neglecting to learn it and add it. We keep saying we need to try it, but just don't.

Thanks. I am glad you enjoyed Vadoran Gardens. I have not played Diced Veggies solo. I seldom play solo modes that don't come with the original game... though if I am not mistaken Diced Veggies is at least an official solo mode, so I really should try it sometime. Does it require anything extra?

@@MerlinsManor I haven't tried it as I donìt own the boardgame but I know it's indeed an official solo mode as you said and it doesn't require anything extra. Also, it's BYOS. Maybe someday!

Thanks. I am terrible at Trailblazers too.

@@MerlinsManor Haha glad I'm not the only one! And I haven't even started with the objectives.

Thank‐you!

Good luck.

I don't know as I have no connection with the company.

Probably between this one and the Organism... both feel very unique. Also, I would say overall Season 2 feature films feel more unique than Season 1. Each feature film has some standout mechanisms that set them apart from others.

I've posted videos for all of Season 2, North Pole Nightmare, plus Maple Lane, Creech Manor, and Terror From Above. My earlier videos had pretty terrible camera angles.

They are Stonemaier egg trays that came with Wingspan. Stonemaier now sells them on their webstore as part of a tray variety pack. I just repurpased them from Wingspan since I have the nesting box now for Wingspan. Link: store.stonemaiergames.com/products/tray-variety-pack

@MerlinsManor thanks

It's occasionally good for when you really need 2 successes... while it doesn't guarantee it, it makes it more likely. Also makes the cards with 3 success more viable. It is a bit overpriced thougalsot also works well with Heather's ability where each 5 or 6 rolled does a damage.

Thanks!
