    I’m almost certain I won’t have time to get to play Mage Knight, but that isn’t stopping me from being tempted by this! Thanks for the video 🙂

    I can confirm that, sleeving all of the deed cards with FGG sleeves, they will not fit horizontally in the space allocated by the insert. However, went ahead and cut out that section of the insert with a utility knife to leave that row open without any dividers, and I was then able to fit all of the sleeved cards.
    On another note, having played once now with the Ultimate edition, I found the organization of the insert to be a little frustrating because the components are sorted by type/shape as opposed to character. This means that you have to grab pieces from all different parts of the insert to give a player everything for their character, instead of just giving them a bag that has it all together. I will likely cut the insert to keep some of the slots for things like enemies and map tiles, but leave the rest open so I can just sort characters using bags.
    All things considered though, I'm glad to have an all-in-one copy of Mage Knight where all of the pieces match!

      Are the cards dimensions for the ultimate edition the same as the standard? Can I use the same sleeves?

    You will have to modify the insert, cut out the dividers, to make sleeved cards fit. At least your insert isn't broken. Wizk!ds will not replace a broken insert.

    As someone who never played a board game like this, is it the best one to get for wanting something that is a good solo game?

    • @GamingRulesVideos
      @GamingRulesVideos  6 років тому +5

      Mage Knight is probably the best solo game there is. It's complex and can be long, but its so very good.

      @@MagicalAlpaca I'm likely late but I'd like to say that this game is VERY dense in rules, even for experienced gamers. He is totally right that the game is absolutely superb, but be mindful that if the rules are overwhelming and feeling tedious that you will not have fun even though the game is excellent. Add in the expansions and you're dealing with one of the most complex popular board games there is. So not to discourage you, just to manage your expectations. That being said, it is a fantastically well-designed game and having a meticulously planned turn working out in Mage Knight is one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had in board gaming. But it's not for everyone :)

    Do you have any plans to do a "how to play" video for Mage Knight? Or, have you done one and I'm just not seeing it?

    • @GamingRulesVideos
      @GamingRulesVideos  5 років тому +1

      Well, it's funny you should ask... Before Gaming Rules! was created, I experimented with creating a how to play video, and did do one for Mage Knight, its on my personal YT channel, its like the worst quality ever, filmed on a 640x480 camera with my dining room lights.
      However, the next goal of my Patreon campaign is to film one, so cross fingers I get there. I'd love to do one but it will take me about 2-3 days to create and wont be able to fit that in for a few months anyway.

    Do you know why ALL tokens got printed white numbers on them? It looks visually pretty weird, no other company does that and previous editions didn't have such numbers printed.

      really? You've been very lucky then. I've rulebooks with a multitude of mistakes, errors (actual rules errors), things simply missing that happen in the game and not even mentioned in the rules (big things, not edge cases), and ones that mean the game is practically unplayable as they make no sense at all.
      Not liking the approach to the rulebook or the layout is one thing, but at least it's all in there, and correct :)
