Ha ha! You forgot to include zero as an option! 🤪🤣 For me, this is the answer. I went all in backing this after a very short but intense journey of reviewing lots of content online and purchasing the original core box (which was admittedly very basic). Between the KS finishing and arriving, I've managed to secure all content for season 1 & 2 and have been loving playing it solo and introducing it to friends. Theme is probably in my top 3 requirements for gaming - growing up watching (and a little reading of) Marvel and DC, I'll be the first to admit, I'm a sucker for this content - loving my time with and, for me, that's what gaming is all about 😉👍😁

Ah, yes - indeed that is true. I think I recall catching such a faux pa at one point but clearly another occasion snuck through the net 😊

I appreciate the feedback, thank you. I confess I do add the background music post edit and try to keep it to a minimum, volume wise, in the hope to avoid distraction - I primarily add it to help cover up my analysis paralysis; rather than having viewers sat watching me in silence trying to get my brain to work! 😜

Ha ha! My pleasure 😁 I too am absolutely loving this journey, albeit very late to the party 😜

It does indeed have the "vibe" of HeroQuest, which was a fab element, for sure but, as you rightly observe, the gameplay is far better with much more agency and engagement - having everything painted also helps with both engagement of eye-candy/table presence 😛) Thanks for the watch and comment 🙂

Ditto! Hoping now the license has been handed over we'll see a resurge in it's coming to market and future content

Later in train section they are now building zone. Well so many rules, you were fine searching in the train zone. Keeping reading...........more rules.

I'm glad you're enjoying them. Yes, I pre-programmed the stream deck for switching camera views. Helps reduce post edit time 😉

As soon as Loki takes any damage (1 point or more), heroes in the same location as Loki and his Master Trickster threat card must immediately take 1 damage; that resolves the requirement of the card.

@@familymeeple ok. We had a rules argument last night about it. And I seem to be right. On a hero’s turn whether they hit him for 1, 2 or 3. Hero’s there take one damage in return. Cool. Thought this is the way it worked.

That would certainly be my reading of it, else it would state "for each damage..."

@@disciple012 I took went back and forth on this one for a long time. In the end, I confess, it was totally the GM-Less D&D system that hooked me - after that, adding everything else followed suit. Glad to have it all, for sure - just need to get it to the table now! 🤣 (Plan is to play through some (at least) of the adventures before taking a proper look at the d&d aspect. I understand Many of the characters will be the same - do wonder if the story itself is the same too 🤔

@familymeeple I was back and forth on this because I think League Of Dungeoneers was happening around the same time and I couldn't afford both. I saw that some of this is coming to retail, but I'm not sure if everything is....

​@@disciple012 The struggle is real, when multiple big crowdfunding projects hit at the same time - is never to decide which to back or not. Knowing what's going to be available at retail at a later can certainly help for sure 🤔👍

@@DragonX5X that's fab! Thank you for your kind and encouraging words - much more to come! ❤️ (Having a dedicated space really does make such a difference)

My joy and pleasure - only hoping to share the same with others ❤️

if you're interested, they are selling both the board game and the RPG at their store on Gamefound

I'll be diving in shortly to finish punching tokens and unpacking cards. (I did raise a query if sleeves were still available as I hadn't realised these had not been included in my pledge 😞 - I'm awaiting a response)

@@familymeeple I'm working on sleeving all of the cards now. Been going strong for 4 hours over 2 days. I started with the smallest cards first, finished them yesterday. Today, I'm working on the poker sized cards and there are a lot of them. Also, I have no idea which cards go behind which divider. I mean, I can guess on some where the cards have names that are the same as the divider. But, I will need to look up what goes behind the dividers named NPC, PVP, Flask, Fate, and Other 1 to 5... UGH. They should've included a picture if what the cards look like for each card-divider. All we have is page 5 of the rulebook, and that doesn't match the names on the card-dividers. Also, all of the smaller cards don't fit in the box organizer. I wish they moved the dragon out of this box and gave us room for all of the cards to be placed standing up. I did watch Phlanx06's video where he shoved some small cards in with the dragon. That's just dumb.

@@timf7354 I found I had a similar experience with Chronicles of Drunagor... Lots of cards with dividers and very little to no information and how to store them (in fact, I've still got the list of those cards to finish sorting!!!). Looks like will be much the same again! 🙄😞 Truly baffles me the expectation of knowledge (or else sheer lack of preparation) in some of these areas.

@@familymeeple Also, I didn't order the same things that you ordered. I got the Super Box Pledge (Storage Box 1 and 2 already stocked like your video) and the Pledge Manager New Items Combo for $99 which included the Sleeves, Elder Dragon, Plastic Tokens, and Boards and Dice. I didn't see your video unboxing those. I mean, it did unbox the plastic tokens, but the boards I got didn't have paper boards, they were thick, and they came with a black Arena the contest bag with 2 bags of 20 sided dice, 8 dice in each bag. So, I bet this is the discrepancy.

The squares on the maps are 25x25mm. The bases on normal sized miniatures are 25mm circles.

Hey! Thanks for the comment 🙂 To be honest, I'd say that's a difficult one - each pack bringing it's own unique set of challenges and gameplay nuance. I think, if I was going to choose just one expansion (beyond the Core Box & Barricades), it would be Enemies Among Us, but that's because I appreciate the theme of seeing heroes previously loved and lost now being pit against, as they're controlled by their new evil overlord! 😜

@@familymeeple Thank you for the quick reply. For now, I have decided on Thunderstone Quest Starter Set and Barricades Mode.

@@familymeeple Unfortunately, in preorder is not available Enemies Among Us. There are only Quest from 2 to 17.

@@familymeeple I would like to select a maximum of 2 quests

​@@pasta271The cure box is great but Barricades mode really makes it what it is for sure! 😁👍❤️

For me, it's my "Go To" deck builder, with a genuine sense of dungeon delving and boss battling.

Thank you :-) I have the SG features and will certainly look to include these in future videos if of interest.

For me, that was the massive seeming point of the MDS - minimal setup time: gets to the table in around 5 mins ❤️

@@familymeeple the set up isn't the problem it's the time to play that is prohibitive. Don't often get the 2/3 hours it seems to take.

Cheers - still in the midst of getting everything sleeved in preparation of digging into play. Looking forward to my first experience of the Dized app as a means to learn to play ❤

First and foremost, understand just how much work, time and effort goes into it and be prepared for a lot of push back on your pricing. I would also suggest it's likely a high burn out occupation. For me, I enjoy the process, get to listen to awesome audio books whilst painting and get paid to do so. In terms of getting started, I'd recommend hunting for a bargain boardgame that has lots of minis (of at least fair quality; if suggest CMON's tend to be good) , and, this probably being the most important thing, other than doing a good job that is, choose a game that is in the top 100-200 on boardgamegeek - that ensures you have maximum audience to sell to! Once painted, take lots of photos, then sell it on - turn a profit and reinvest into the next to paint up. That'll set you going whilst you use your pics taken to publicise your work and availability. Best of luck!

Exactly my thinking 😄

I'm currently working on a custom system for the miniatures - the notion is to get everything into 2 Kallax slots - using 2 big boxes (original Core Box for all gameplay content like maps, darkness, cards, etc. and Apocalypse box for all mini's [bar the Big 4 Horsemen]) and then use the "Dragon box" as a "campaign box" for currently used character contents, cubes, items, skills, etc. So far, I'm on-course! (but still a WIP!).

I confess, I'm still in the throes of organising everything. I'm happy I've managed to get 95% of everything I need in it's entirety into just one box, bar mini's! Now creating something of a storage solution to crunch down the mini's space - hoping to get everything (bar the big humungous min's) into 2 Kallax slots ;-)

Hey, apologies for the delay - have been offline with family on holiday. Yes, zombies can gain access to balconies, but only via the stairs in the building (unless explicitly stated on their card otherwise) Hope your enjoying your plays! <3

🤣

🤣

Yes, it absolutely is indeed: without a funny! Ha ha! 2 hours to effectively open and check contents (not to mention spending an hour plus online just double checking all boxes had been received!). Spent a few hours watching Christmas TV with the family whilst sleeving the 1100 cards. Now to work out how their wonderful organisation system works ❤️🎁🎄🔥

Hey! thanks for the feedback. Yes, I think I received a similar comment in another video and I clarified that this was very much a house rule I applied when I first introduced this with my kids as co-op play (making things a little easier for their introductory games 😏). I believe I "tighten up" on myself in future videos as the campaign progresses 🙂

oh, by all means, do what you feel is more fun :D Just tought i'd mention it if you did it by mistake is all =)@@familymeeple

I included a write up of my technique here in the comments section of my bgg post - hope it helps ❤️ boardgamegeek.com/image/6742539/nemesis-lockdown

@@familymeeple perfect. Thank you so much. That Really helps.

Agree on the payment plan option - believe the likes of Gamefound offer this as standard now but not seen any changes/updates on the KS front, relying on those creating projects to provide suitable options. I too sunk lots into Marvel (not that I'm regretting it) and am very interested to see what level of compatibility it brings

@@familymeeple Yeah, when I back an actual small creator (what the platform is supposed to be) for like $20-$60 it isn't a problem, but when a major company drops a $500+ dollar option that I won't receive for an entire 12-18 months it's stupid that I can't make payments on that.

Thank you - it works great practically to play on too! ❤️

One of the design ideas I had but not got around to testing was effectively putting a roof on top that becomes the room (s) to play on...

@@familymeeple That may work. It's a shame because I love gaming with awesome terrain, and I love Zombicide; sadly they just don't work well together. Keep it up. Cheers!

Here's hoping at least... Although, check out my video post today - update on the release of CMON's Dev Diary...maybe compatibility might be a lot less than first thought! 🤔

I'm in providing it's fully cross compatible, I'm in 😊

Indeed. Whilst "cross-compatible" from a "character card" perspective, I note we've not yet seen a Zombie card... Will these be playable? Will they have a similar mechanic to the "Hunger"? what might this look like to distinguish it from "Anti-Life"? All valid questions at this stage - interested to know more about DC's direct involvement too 🤔

I confess, I've not come across these - will need to take a look 🙂

Ha ha - indeed, it's a great name 😊 I've not researched fully yet but believe DC followed Marvel in producing their zombie storyline, and it is quite different than that of Marvel's, which is a much more traditional zombie notion. Very interested to see if/how this plays out in the game and if CMON are working as closely with DC as they did with Marvel?

@@familymeeple Marvel Zombies debuted in 2005. DCeased started its run in 2019. DC also had iZombie in 2015 and Blackest Night (undead via Black Lanterns) in 2009. The was a Vampires run not so long ago (haven't read, Vampires infiltrate the League and try to take over). Marvel definitely did the zombie apocalypse comics first but DC may have done more zombie/undead-centered comics, I'm not sure.

I'm "listening" to the DCeased content at the moment via the links I shared. Personally, I actually prefer the Marvel take in the basis it's a distressed that came about and spread over the anti life equation, purely on the basis the former didn't require a motive as where the latter seems to have derived from an individual but there doesn't feel, to be at least, a course motive... Other than simply kill everything, to which Bobo (detective chimp) declares the simplest method of spread would have been using mosquitos... So yeah, felt a little..."odd".

@@williamcomolli9470 I just saw your Black Lantern Corp giant "death"... Would make an awesome 2 footer!

I'm excited for the gameplay... Less so got a further dint in the back account! 🤣🤣🤣
