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!
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.
@@GamingRulesVideos I think I finally decided on getting mage knight as my first but i just have to save some money up and get the ultimate edition. I cant wait to play it now. Watching this video makes waiting so hard.
@@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 :)
So I have MK ultimate and I wanna get an insert. Are there any products available for the new edition or do we have to to wait for something to come out? Also, what sleeves did you purchase?
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.
Caroline Smialek I hope that you do the tutorial. We tried to watch a couple of others, in order to learn the game, and just couldn’t follow them. We look forward to yours!
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.
Hi, I'd love to. However, my how-to-play videos are generally commissioned pieces of work. I might look at doing one through my Patreon campaign if it reaches the next goal.
Playing shades of tezla watching this video :) Keep up the good work. Btw. Does anyone knows when the digital version Wizkids and Dire Wolf are working on is comming out?
@@GamingRulesVideosI wrote to CGE asking them if they where planing for launching a paid version of my all time favorite game Mage Knight (the digital app for through the ages was a huge succes). They responded that they were considering to ask Wizkids for rights to creating the digital app however earlier this year was announced that Dire Wolf Digital will release the app this year: techraptor.net/content/mage-knight-digital-games
I need to check out the rules for this game. Thanks Paul for the unboxing. Quick question, did you have problems with the mic? I think there was some echo or your voice sounded a bit far away. Not a big deal for an unboxing video.
My current HandyCon schedule shows me as having negative free time :( I'm running demos all day and already have things planned in the evenings :( Stop by and say Hi though :)
Thank you, Paul, for supporting us through your treasured items! If anyone wants to see our boardgame videos, then go to ua-cam.com/users/chrysalisuganda e.g. there is a film of last years Board-game Convention in Uganda, filmed by our young people.
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 :)
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 know Im kind of off topic but do anyone know of a good website to watch newly released series online ?

Thanks for that. Such a shame.
Are the cards dimensions for the ultimate edition the same as the standard? Can I use the same sleeves?
"This is my favorite game" I few moments later...... "I haven't opened this in years"
Wow that is quite a huge box ! Thanks for the great video ! ;)
Strong start to 2019. Looking forward to seeing more Mr G 👍
Sold off my complete bundle in June expectin to pick this up in September... My pre-order still hasn't arrived... WizKids...
Great video. I was considering this edition but reluctant due to the steep price. Now I made my mind. Many thanks.
Yay, another unboxing video! Mage Knight isn't for me, but I still love seeing what's in the box. Thank you. :)
so happy to see your face again in the new year!
Thanks Calvin! more to come!

that's not good.
Indeed
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?
Mage Knight is probably the best solo game there is. It's complex and can be long, but its so very good.

I don't have an insert yet. I use FFG sleeves.
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?

Also, crystals didn't change, my black/blue/green are the same as in original (I have both)
my old copy was the first printing where they were not great. looks like they improved them for later printings but then kept them the same for this.
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.
I don't know, sorry. Not opened up my counters yet.
You look good and sound good :) Great video my friend!
Could you please make a how to play-video for mage knight? I own the old Version and have a really hard time learning it ;)
Hi, I'd love to. However, my how-to-play videos are generally commissioned pieces of work. I might look at doing one through my Patreon campaign if it reaches the next goal.
Maybe check out Ricky Royals playthrough series? That's how I learned the game.

I was experimenting using the overhead blue yeti mic. It is nowhere near as good :(
Would you recommend this game for playing with 2 or is it strictly better as a solo game?
My personal opinion is that it is better with 2, but that is my opinion on all games generally as I like to play games with other people :)
Sad that Volkare reference card was still not fixed in this edition :/
Was it not? I thought we sorted that out. What was / is wrong with it?

@@KristoVaher Gah. Sorry this was missed :(
no.1 favorite game but you havent opened it for years...?
It's coming back on the channel soon! Two playthroughs scheduled for later this month!
But yes, always too many games, not enough time.
Ugh.. they should have asked Chad Jensen to work on the rulebook. He would have done wonders with it.
Chad does very good work. Sorry what Vlaada and I did wasn't good enough :)
Fancy a game at Handycon? :)
