Join me in the final hours as our investigators attempt to make Cthulhu mortal and take it down in Cthulhu: Death May Die created by Rob Daviau, Eric M. Lang and published by CMON Games! Cthulhu Death May Die: amzn.to/2PqeusX 26:11 I’ll be moving the basement Cultist one towards stairs in the next one. No gameplay impacts. 56:42 I’ll be moving the basement Fire Vampire one space towards stairs in the next one. No gameplay impacts.
I've seen this Episode played several times, and I've played it once myself, and I'm still not even close to tired of it. The fact that I have14 other Episodes waiting for me is amazing. Great video. I can't wait to see more!
Jay! Thanks for watching. Seen this one pop up as welI. My plan is to avoid spoilers as much as possible. So I stuck with the default picks this time. The number of episodes and the number of Elder Gods to mix in adds a ton of replay-ability. Like the structure of this one!
I've played it with Bert & Ernie. My 4yo son was Bert and I was Ernie XD and we killed The King in Yellow! Well, I killed him. Bert died... It was soooo much fuuuuuun hehe
At 42:31 i would have taken the monkey paw personnaly. Since the card says you MAY transform an elder sign into a success and insanity. So it's just an option that you have when needed. Even if you lose it later, that's not important. Good video. I played it 7 times and i'm still looking for my first win.
@@RollingSolo Is there a character that has a monkey or a monkey item? Because i'm reading/interpreting this card like this: "If you have the monkey as your companion". If your character has a monkey, you may discard (kill?) it to turn it into a monkey paw item that you can use.
@@mindtwist I know this is old but yes. He couldn't claim the Monkey Paw since he didn't have the criteria of having the monkey companion. You can only claim it by killing the monkey companion.
Super old comment but no, you don't need the monkey to claim the paw. If you have the monkey, he realizes that it is his paw and gets angry, wounds you, and runs away. Either way, there is a monkey paw in the room. This is how it was explained to us recently.
Great video Adam! Played the same scenario yesterday for the first time and loved it. The rules are quick to grasp and it plays very fast after some turns. We lost but it was fun!. Keep up the good work.
@27:10 each cultists moves 1 space towards you. Does it apply to cultists not on the same level? You didn't move the cultist on tile 11b. Are 2 tiles connected by stairs considered adjacent?
Re: your first turn ==> Something this game taught me the hard way is: A) If possible, never stop your turn one room away from a baddie, since there are many "move 1 space toward you" cards in the mythos deck, in every episode and for every elder one, and B) If you can rest and have fewer than 2 stress left, rest. Not only does it help with unplanned attacks (lost one game like this) but there is a whole lot of discovery cards that ask you to spend one or two stress to get their benefit (again, in every episode) ^_^
Don't forget your skills! Rasputin has Arcane Mastery which lets him treat one Elder Sign as a success per roll! So that first roll against the lab did 3 damage.
hi! just a question.. on 54:00, you rolled 2 successes and 1 elder sign. according to rasputin's skill arcane mastery, you may count 1 arcane mastery as a success. that means, you should wound the lab token 3x instead of 2x right? just want to clarify..
10:40 I'd very much like to trade my short term memory away! lol I came to see this game because someone in my area is selling it, but my first impression of this game is just the same old Arkham Horror but glorified with miniatures. You move, you investigate/remove monsters, then eventually you fight the elder one with whatever tools/health you have remaining. Am I wrong?
That’s the basic premise but every episode presents different mechanics and challenges. Also the Elder God you pick mixes with the episode you pick to create a unique situation. That’s the beauty of this one. One episode is much more replayable across Elder Gods. It’s just plain fun.
Loving your channel, lots of games you have are also in my collection. Looking forward to getting this to the table but I have to get the Mini’s painted first.
Awesome! Learning the rules in any game can be a barrier. Happy to hear I could make it easier for you! This game is soooo good once you know how to play.
I know this is a year late, but Etsy has has something very similar. If you're still interested. I have played 3 games and don't find that I'll need them. They are nice tho.
@@manonfire4jc oh, i think we will manage. But it could be nice to avoid the markers flying everywhere if you brush your shirt or something over the char sheet. Thanks for the headsup anyways 👍
Great eye! I mentioned this in the pinned comment and will certainly be moving a Cultist and Fire Vampire. Can’t forget those creeps in the basement. Thankfully no major game impact. Cheers!
This looks like its going to be a great game, all the unknown things that can happen (explosion!). Rasputin is definately mad, keep it up Adam, was that your eye I saw just twitch :)
@@RollingSolo lol yes you got play that song next time you play Rasputin it be awesome funny! Ra ra Rasputin Lover of the Russian queen There was a cat that really was gone Ra ra Rasputin Russia's greatest love machine It was a shame how he carried on
Seems like an interesting game. I decided against backing this and kinda regretting it now. The stress mechanic for rerolling looks like its been lifted from the Deep Madness sanity mechanic.
Certainly has some ties there Mythos! I like the different approach of this game I. That it’s down to the final hours to win or lose. Less of a sprawling epic and more of a crunch for ultimate last minute success!
It’s a fantastic design and pure fun. The game is balanced perfectly for a tense ending every time. They need to do another run of this one on KS. It was my surprise hit of 2019 hands down.
And again you have me hooked Adam, I will just have to watch the next episodes and make sure that I have no access to my bank cards. because every time I watch one of your long series of playthroughs I end up buying the game. And in the case of the recent kickstarter you did I have pledged into it. I have only just started playing Gloomhaven after watching your series from 2 years ago so I must must must not buy any more games lol.
Wait you only need to destroy 4 labs? LOL oops we made it harder on ourselves Dagon was already cavorting around the map and we were desperately trying to destroy the 5th one still.
@@RollingSolo Speaking of hard mode I got the major explosion one and misread it and wounded myself for 2 as well. It's really a wonder that we ended up winning!
@@RollingSolo yes indeed. Always love your stuff. Mostly cause I can put it on while I do other stuff. As you describe the thought process behind your decisions and explain rules as you go is like an audiobook.
Thanks for watching! I aim to ensure viewers understand what they’re seeing rather than blasting through the game disconnected at a high level. Cheers!

14 others? Hmm, you cheap out on me, boy? Where is that R'lyeh Rising finale!? :)

47:00 You're breaking my heart by not resting :p
Don’t worry the rest is coming! I also like to invoke heart failure for my viewers haha

Hey Winterson! Thanks for the feedback and I agree with you there in hindsight. Hope your first win comes soon!

Ah, intro music befitting the theme! \m/. Just picked this up along with a couple of expansions, so thanks for the great timing, as usual :).
Your in for a good time! Enjoy :D
Looks like a fun game. Fast rounds filled with action. Great video as always. Now get that second part up 😆
Oh it's coming! Next one should be quite the episode ;)
Amazing explanation and great camera work!! 10/10
Wow! Thanks so much. Glad you found the series helpful. Have a good one!
Finally picked up a copy. Can't wait to get it to the table.
This game is one of CMON’s best solo games and multiplayer too!
Great video Adam! Played the same scenario yesterday for the first time and loved it. The rules are quick to grasp and it plays very fast after some turns. We lost but it was fun!. Keep up the good work.
Hans Rutjens Absolutely one of the reasons I enjoy it. Low barrier of entry, replay-ability and a lot of fun!
This episode is so hard man!
Very!! Love this game. 💥

Yep! If arcane is a success for 1 of them, I should have. Hopefully caught this in the pinned comment. Cheers!
I was decide to give you triple like , your game play explanation was so awesome!
Well thank you! Too kind 😄
Thanks to you I will have to add this game to my collection!!!!!! Love it
Hope you have a blast with it! :D

Thanks so much that means a ton! ;D
This is a fantastic game. Great choice!
Finally i little understood this game thanks to you..Thanks
Awesome! Learning the rules in any game can be a barrier. Happy to hear I could make it easier for you! This game is soooo good once you know how to play.
So, let me guess, these nifty plastic inserts you have the character sheets in are a kickstarter goody?
That’s correct! These were inside the Unspeakable Box. They’re handy but certainly not necessary. Thanks for watching T Man!
I know this is a year late, but Etsy has has something very similar. If you're still interested. I have played 3 games and don't find that I'll need them. They are nice tho.
@@manonfire4jc oh, i think we will manage. But it could be nice to avoid the markers flying everywhere if you brush your shirt or something over the char sheet. Thanks for the headsup anyways 👍
57:40 did you remember to move the other fire vampire towards you off camera? The one in the basement?
Great eye! I mentioned this in the pinned comment and will certainly be moving a Cultist and Fire Vampire. Can’t forget those creeps in the basement. Thankfully no major game impact. Cheers!
This looks like its going to be a great game, all the unknown things that can happen (explosion!). Rasputin is definately mad, keep it up Adam, was that your eye I saw just twitch :)
That was a welcome unexpected turn of events. I thought originally it blasted me! haha
That intro music!!! 🤟🏽
;D
Just see that card number 9a is placed wrong. At minute 27 the cultist can reach Adam. Just a little mistake in the setup.
Good catch Angelo! Didn’t notice that and neither did anyone else for that matter. Thanks for watching! :)
Ra ra Rasputin The greatest love Machine
Lol
@@RollingSolo lol yes you got play that song next time you play Rasputin it be awesome funny!
Ra ra Rasputin
Lover of the Russian queen
There was a cat that really was gone
Ra ra Rasputin
Russia's greatest love machine
It was a shame how he carried on

I am loving this game. Just bought season 2 and yog sototh. Black goat is on the way too. Now if I can just beat that dang ole hastur.
It’s a fantastic design and pure fun. The game is balanced perfectly for a tense ending every time. They need to do another run of this one on KS. It was my surprise hit of 2019 hands down.
@@RollingSolo I kick myself for not getting in on the Kickstart. I want dagon 😞
And I didn't realize it but that big ass cthulu is actually a tile. You fight the final battle on it. How cool is that!
@@zer0zer082 If CMON doesn’t bring it back I’d be very surprised!
Yoooooo where did you get those dashboard holders?!
Those came with the Unspeakable Box. It’s a part of the recent campaign too!
Where i can buy this characters overlays?
They came from the Unspeakable Box which was part of the crowdfunding campaign!
This game looks so cool. The inverted Deathly Hollows symbol? lol
It’s a lot of fun! 🔥😁🔥

I’m back at this one atm so stay tuned! Happy to help you find games you’ll enjoy. Cheers
Awesome video as always but you cost me a lot of money! Had to buy this game!
Happy to help you find something you like though! ;)
I dont understand why cultists would light the place on fire
They’re going a tad crazy!
@@RollingSolo but they are doing a ritual at the same time
Could be that they’re just pyro’s at heart lol
Just played this game for the first time last night. This episode, but against the Dagon. Spoiler alert: he isn't very nice!
Wait you only need to destroy 4 labs? LOL oops we made it harder on ourselves Dagon was already cavorting around the map and we were desperately trying to destroy the 5th one still.
Also don't be afraid to go a little crazy. You'll just tool up faster and become so much better. Yesssss....embrace your mental incapacity!
Haha Dagon isn’t nice?! Shocking! ;p
Yep, just the four. You we’re going for the gold star at 5 haha. Agreed I must embrace the crazy!
@@RollingSolo Speaking of hard mode I got the major explosion one and misread it and wounded myself for 2 as well. It's really a wonder that we ended up winning!
@@blakecurry3880 Oh geez! I initially thought it hit me to until I read it closer. I was surprised it actually helped me haha
Why do you hate Adam? He needs to Rest!
Don't you worry! He'll be doing a lot of resting very soon! ;p
You rock
Thank you sir! As do you. I take it you’re enjoying the playthrough? :)
@@RollingSolo yes indeed. Always love your stuff. Mostly cause I can put it on while I do other stuff. As you describe the thought process behind your decisions and explain rules as you go is like an audiobook.
Ah that’s very good feedback. Well thanks for watching my friend. Hope you enjoy future playthroughs too! See you around :)
Thanks for doing a playthrough of this awesome game! Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn

So much talking, I just want to watch a gameplay
Thanks for watching! I aim to ensure viewers understand what they’re seeing rather than blasting through the game disconnected at a high level. Cheers!
What's with this f****** music????
other than that, a great playthrough!
Thanks! Well the music fits the theme of the game and it’s an intro sooo lol
