Thank you for the effort you put in. It is great to see a detailed playthrough of MK. Here are some of the things I caught. 1. Norowas is a guy. :) 2. Space Bending and other cards/skills that allow you to travel in spaces has to end on a safe space unless specified otherwise(i.e. Underground Attack). 3. When we explored backwards for the sixth country tile it was beyond the coastline. 4. If Expose is played in the ranged/siege phase the ranged attack does not carry over to the attack phase. In this game it didn't matter because Expose could have been played in the attack phase and the outcome would be the same. I really appreciate this. More MK videos are always welcome.
First thanks so much for watching and commenting!! 1. Oopsies! How did I think he was a girl?? 2. Any idea when I did this so I can make a note? 3. Pretty sure all the rules are ok as the wedge map opens up 2 rules each row and that was the third row. 4. Great catch! Another playthrough is already recorded and will be out next week!!
@@OneStopCoopShop The tile placing rule always bugs me. As I remember, the wedge map coastline expand from the first tile like a "V-shape", then it grows by 1 more tile for each row. So I think you did beyond the coast line in this play through. But I only played the base game so not sure if there is a rule update. Nice play through and looking forward to the next one!
Agree on the tile on day 2.it is out of place...that is what i find the most difficult thing exploring in order to get to the main tiles soon and as close as possible. Great playtrough anyway
@@KiNsamaChannel I confirmed I DID bummer!! I made a note and thanks for that! For some reason I Was thinking it increased by 2 tiles per row. . . HAHA Anyhow appreciate you watching!!
You can really appreciate how good Colin is at his craft when you transition from other youtube channels doing Mage Knight to Colin's playthroughs. Truly a joy to watch! Other playthroughs felt like a chore.
Well that is probably the nicest thing someone has ever said to me about my videos! You can tell I like the game a little??! Haha!! I could play this all day every day I think with a little lotr lcg sprinkled in and I'd be good. Thanks so much for watching and the nice comment!!
@@OneStopCoopShop Love the LotR playthroughs too! Especially since I can vicariously enjoy through you because I sold my copy - I found that I really really disliked deck construction :( .
I get that! It's probably the reason I don't play it more really as I'm not the best deck builder. But once you get a good deck oh boy it's fun to watch!
@@OneStopCoopShop We've only played the Shades of Tezla Scenarios once or twice each, so I can't recall how much I like them compared to other scenarios. I remember that 1 Day 1 Night scenario where you "level" up before the game being really difficult until you get the grasp of what you need to do As for favourite: I would say Volkare's Return (which should really be called Volkare's Quest since he's searching for the City, and Volkare's Return should be his return to the council) because of the additional board positioning puzzle since you know where' he'll end up so you can set him up to be far away from where you reveal the city. And you don't have to chase him around as in Volkare's Quest PS. The caveat is that this is from playing the scenarios 2 player with 2 and 4 Mage Knights. I don't know if they feel the same true solo.
This is one of the BEST Mage Knight playthroughs I have seen. I really love the way that you carefully walk through your decision-making process while bringing in some of the less well-known rules that trip up new players in a way that puts people at ease. Never having seen this really helpful video, I had a really tough time learning this game ages ago and had to draw from a lot of different sources to finally gather the rules together piecewise but this video is a great example of how to gradually ease players into a game that can seem incredibly daunting. Thank you for this!
Wow your comment made my week thank you!! It's a complex game but it does quite well once you grok the rules. Glad the video was helpful and hope it helps others get this to the table!!
Amazing video! I've just started getting into (solo) board games and stumbled across this after hearing about Mage Knight. You explained everything so clearly that I was able to follow along despite not knowing most of the rules. I really appreciate how you zoom in & clearly show each card instead of having a single static shot.
Thanks so much!! I always found it much easier to follow along when I could see what was happening. Glad that worked for you too and thanks for watching and commenting!!
That was the best Mage Knight video I've ever seen, so clear and concise, and great camera angles, and terrain! Watch out Ricky Royal, theres a challenger for your crown!
Colin, please make more of these. I’ve learned how to play because of you and now MK is my favourite board game ever. Also, the way you present it, you’re voice and enthusiasm, it’s all top notch!
Great video, really helps to remember the rules of my most favorite game, but I have a question about some situations: 1) On the second night, when you stood near the green city, is it possible to see the garrison of troops, if it is not possible to do this at night? 2) When you fought the mage in the green city, shouldn't you have gotten 4 wound cards into your hand, and gotten 8 wound cards to discard? (poisoning from the enemy and poisoning is added by the city itself) 3) I can't remember where exactly in the rules it says that the number of shields in a captured city adds to the influence. (really, how much I played, but I don't remember it) I will be grateful for the answer!
Your play throughs are fantastic. ive only just delved into the beast that is mage knight and these really help me understand the game mechanics better. thanks and looking forward to more!
To me Ricky Royal‘s Mage Knight videos are the best around. They are excellent to follow, take care to explain the moves made and really get that Mage Knight feeling across. Having said that, Jason, I have to say this video is certainly on par with Ricky‘s video - excellent job! Thanks a lot, really loved the video!
Awesome play through! That was a lot of fun. I’ve got a production question, do you have one camera filming the whole setup and you zoom in when you edit, or do you reposition the camera each time theres a cut?
Yesterday I played Mage Knight for the first time. Four years ago I tried this game but the setup put me off. After a couple of hours of watching you play, I decided I had to give this game another chance. The Ultimate Edition landed on my table and it's awesome! Thanks for convincing me to play Mage Knight!
ULTIMATE!! Yes!! So glad you decided to take the plunge. It is a hefty learning curve but once you internalize the rules the game is pure joy as long as puzzles are your thing. Thanks so much for watching!
@@OneStopCoopShop I’ve never thought that I will choose 1hr+ YT video over Netflix 😅 You guys are great. Next game that you convinced me to buy will be Too Many Bones 🎲🎲🎲
Thanks so much for this run-through. I've bounced off mage knight every time I've seen it in the top solo games on bgg, but I finally pushed through the rules overhead this week and I got through First Reconnaissance. Wanted to check out a playthrough to see how cities and the other locations worked, and I really appreciate how well you explain new rules and your decision making as you go through. Ton of help, and awesome run!
I enjoyed a lot your MK playthroughs, your explanations, and the funny but helpful flavour of your clips. I really love this game, but its difficult to find in youtube someone who really know and love the game like you. Congratulations and thank you Colin.
These videos are great. I've binged them all trying to learn the game before my copy arrives (any idea when the next printing is 😂). These are easily the best mage knight videos on UA-cam. Your passion is infectious
Well thank you so much! I wish I could tell you when reprints are coming but I'm as clueless on that as anyone else haha!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!
Ohh yeah! Mage Knight gameplay is always welcome. Congratulations on the victory. It was a clean and powerful run!! Also, omg those terrain pieces are sooo awesome!!
those walla are 3d printed right? or did my ultimate box not come with some stuff? if they are printed those are some really great player aids that i need to get.
Just found your channel and this is the second Solo Conquest playthrough of yours I've watched. Great editing and explanation of your thinking throughout! It has been a long time since I've played solo (I typically play competitive 2p against my brother), but these videos are making me want to play solo again. One thing I caught was at 1:21:30, you take 3 wounds from that fire draconum, but you could've used your Altem Mages 5 resistance to absorb that and only take a single wound into your hand. You are allowed to assign damage to a Unit even if it is spent (and it also doesn't spend it so you can use it for one of its abilities as you do in that combat for the cold fire attack)
Thank you very much for that fantastic video! It really helps me to get a better grasp of the gameplay (as I just got into the game) and was also very fun to watch! Thanks for all the work you put in condensing the game into this compact video!
Thank you for the video! I'm gonna get MK Ultimate edition soon and this video is great to get the hang of the rules and get the feel of the game before actually playing. The editing and sound are excellent and it's overall an entertaining watch. Can't wait to play the real thing!
You sound like you really enjoy this game when you play it! That makes for a fun video to watch. I think there is one small error; 1:32:51 When you fight the final Illusionists in the castle you don’t need to use Concentration and a green mana on Counterattack, because the basic effect of Counterattack would already do the 6 damage you need to take them out ( 2 plus 4 for the two monsters already blocked)
Hi Colin, thx for the playthrough. Ive got some questions though. Aren't you supposed to get +1 extra fame everytime you kill a rampaging enemy ? And +1 fame everytime you explore a new tile ?
Thanks for watching and no both of those are wrong. No additional fame for exploring or defeating rampaging enemies. Rampager enemies give you plus 1 reputation when defeated!
I have 1 question at 59:20. You have a Golem with Physical Resistance (3 armor) and the enemy's attack is 6. Why don't you let the Golem receive the damage on the Assigned Damage Phase? As I know, the damage will be less than half because of the Physical resistance. So it's no wound.
Hey colin, coming back to ask you a question. I have just printed all the terrains, basically everything in that all in bundle. Don't you find almost all of these to interfere with gameplay? Yeah They look super cool if painted but there would just be no place to put the hero mini, right? Thanks for your time.
Oh great question! At least the ones I hebe most of them have places to hold your shield token and the mage can stand on it. But you are right it's not flat and if you can end your turn on the mountains it might be hard to balance your mage there! Haha!!
@@OneStopCoopShop Thanks for the reply. Since the minis don't look good anyways. I'm considering using the terrains but replacing the mini to be something smaller. Like a sigli token? Yeah the mountain is just.. Idk haha
I did my first conquest, because I just dind't really like the intro scenario but hey. I also played without a dummy and I'm happy to see that I got every rule right. But I did make some mistakes on my first playthrough and adjusted it when I noticed it. Great to see a playthrough to make sure I understood everything :). Next time im going to play with a dummy and see how it goes.
Hey! Thank you for you video, it's awesome! But I have one question. On 1:10:20, how did you beat that monster? Because he has 8 armor with physical resistence. So you need 16 of regular damage for win. But you have only 8. Did I missed something?
Finally getting around to watching this one. Little tip for your reference cards. If you get one of those 3x3 binder card sleeves. You can fit all of them in it. Makes it like a double sided piece of paper for all your quick reference stuff.
51:28 Gotta love it :) So fun to watch. 56:13 Thanks for pointing that out, I was doing it wrong for the cities as well. Makes it much easier to go in at 2 movement.
39:58 I haven't seen this rule mentioned anywhere in the rulebook and haven't been able to find anything about it online. Why are you reducing the movement cost of the terrain because you have a ready unit?
Oh maaaann I just bought MK UE this week and I watched your entire solo Conquest video of 9months ago. What an amazing surprise! Actually it was kinda funny cause UA-cam notified me and I thought "why is he suggesting me the same video form one stop again?" Lol ..now it is time for another epic adventure, btw I'm loving MK
Haha!! That is great timing! I did name it the same so that's on me. Next week I will have another scenario the life and death one from Tezla! Hope you enjoy them all and it gets you playing on your own!!
@@OneStopCoopShop excellent news, It'll Definitely help me a lot. I don't think rules are hard to understand as the rules book is super well written. But there are a lot of things to remember though. I'm still playing just the base game, but once I've watched your video I'll try it myself too!
More mage knight please! Show off those cool painted 3d terrains Would love to see a play through of each hero and some of the more unique scenarios. Such a great game to show case!
Tickles me that you lose reputation when you take out a mage tower and a city when they are full of evil beings! Was horrified when you ransacked that poor village after they treated you kindly! SMH Colin! So disappointed in you! (wags finger!) lol That was a great playthrough thanks. Looking forward to the next episode of Mage Knight (with Tesla and his electrical devices)
HAHAHAHA Well I did save that village from a rampaging Draconum you know. . . :) HAHA! I agree reputation in this land is fickle, but you gotta do what you gotta do! Thanks for watching Paul!!
Mage Knight has been on my radar for a while now and this is really helping at winning me over. One question though. What is the reason for the dummy player?
At 48:08, if I am not wrong, you can play swift bolt and swiftness directly using the same two mana for ranged attack 7 and hence save concentration. Is it a strategy to go through your deck faster?
I wish I could have but I did not have 2 white mana! I used green mana for concentration so I could get enough range attack. Thats why! And yes it can be a strategy to run through your deck faster if you want the round to end!
@@OneStopCoopShop I was wondering the same actually. You used a gold mana, not green - so you could have just powered up the swift bolt. btw - you’re videos are awesome, and you go into just enough detail to follow your thinking but not get bogged down in excessive detailed. Great work!
OH YEAH! I am telling you it makes the game look even BETTER in person! Just remember they come unpainted. But even still they look AWESOME! There will be another playthrough next week of the Life and Death scenario!
@@OneStopCoopShop I don't know much about Mage Knight but it sure does look interesting to play. While with Imperium, I know I'm getting it at some point 😁
After playing the original box (2nd hand from Ebay) for a few games I saw that the ultimate is back in stock so bought it. Waiting for it to arrive and this has just got me more excited for it!!! Great play through!
I was hoping to ask a question here since I can't seem to find it on any forums. I am playing one game with the ultimate edition but using only the standard stuff for my first few games. I just noticed by shuffling my map tiles that my present game has no Monastries. Is that possible or is that something I need to ensure is in game at all times. I was using seven country side tiles so some are left out. edited: Ok just hit my first city with a monastry on it. So I guess it could be possible to luck out throughout the map and hit only later. But any comments welcomed thx.
Can anyone help me understand, as I read the rules, isn’t his map not in a wedge shape as it should be for solo conquest? Maybe I’m not fully understanding it but looks like 1 tiles out of the coast line.
Hey just learning Mage Knight as I got mine a couple of days ago, yay! Quick question, in another video of Shaggi from Totally Tabled he reminds us to add one fame to our track each time we explore a new tile. I didn't see Colin do it in this playthrough, is it something that you do depending on the scenario? Kudos on the videos, they're amazing!
the +1 fame for exploring is a rule for the First Reconnaisance scenario (the scenario recommended for first-time players). This video is showing the Conquest scenario.
Nice! Where did you get the mountains, keeps etc from? I heard you mention having to paint them. Did you make them from scratch? Like 3D printed? Aaand, are you interested in selling some?:)
You can get them at the etsy site that should be in my description of the video! Let me know if you can't find it! I love them so much it adds to the board a lot!
Die allererste Partie haben wir hinter uns ! Ein wirklich großartiges Spiel! 😍 Aber natürlich auch jetzt Fragen 😉 : wir haben einen umherziehenden Orkgegner gehabt mit physischem Widerstand! Einmal steht bei Widerstand das der Schaden gegen einen solchen halbiert wird und an anderer Stelle das zuerst die Rüstung abgezogen wird vom Angriff..was denn jetzt? Bei dem Ork war es noch egal da er 3 Rüstung hatte und ich so oder so 6 Punkte Schaden machen müsste um ihn zu töten. Vielleicht ist's rechnerisch auch egal, aber vom verstehen her gibts doch mehr Sinn das der Widerstand bedingt das ich doppelt so hart zuschlagen müsste um .. ? Ich finde den Text mit Rüstung erst abziehen in Verbindung mit Widerstand halt echt irreführend. Halbe Wirkung aufgrund Widerstand viel verständlicher. Und dann war noch eine weitere Frage zu z.B. einem Magierturm. Der Turm ist befestigter Ort, die Zauberer darin zählen als befestigt. Im Text etwas das damit auch Angriffe mit Belagerungswaffen ausschließt richtig? Also bliebe bei einem Magierturm es immer nur übrig den zu überfallen? So da nie die Option den durch Fernkampf/Belagerung auszuschalten bevor es ungemütlich wird? Würde dann ja auch für Burgen gelten, weil befestigt. Wann kann ich gegen was überhaupt Belagerungswaffen einsetzen?? Sorry die scheinbar unnützen Fragen, aber die haben uns beschäftigt. Trotzdem sehr geiles Spiel ! 😍
Hi There! I am not entirely sure what you asking I tried using google translate :)! If you attack with a resistant enemy, the attack type is halved rounded down. You certainly can use siege attack on a Mage Tower unless it is behind a wall, then it is double-fortified. Hope that helps and have fun!
Pretty good thanks for all the work!! Your videos help me a lot, Just one thing I think that according to the rules you cannot explore a tile if this doesn't adjoint to two other tiles.
Glad you came back to this game. Makes me want to get back into it! I always forget the rules though haha. You're doing very well! (Still watching up to the first night :P hopefully didn't jinx you haha).
Have you noticed a quailty improvement or is the quality of the game less than the original version? I got in the new version in today and the cards seem not as good. Plus the tile for volkars back isn't the same color as the normal one.. It seems off
I just got into this game, so far Im only playing First Recon with every character to get into the rules. Now I started to watch your playthrough and I am wondering: Where do these walls come from? Is this from an expansion?
These videos must take quite a while to edit! I love to watch MK content because I don't have the time to invest in this game. Just out of curiosity, what is the metric by which you evaluate how well you did. The final score didn't mean much to me.
Yes editing takes a bit haha!! But it's worth it. I just want to win the scenario but you can count up Fame and compare it to previous plays of the game. So a bit of a beat your own score I guess!
One of my all-time favorite games! It was my very first game when I began my solo gaming hobby! Where did you get those 3-D tokens. They are awesome! Keep up the great content!
You can choose to attack multiple at the same time but if you do they gain all the resistances that any of them have. You can also take them one by one. What's important is that they each attack you individually, then you can lump any together.
Best gameplay of this masterpiece! I'm sooooo ready to play now and I own it to you ( I hope I said it right, English is not my first language). Great job! (43:00 just a reminder for my future solo conquest ;)
48:21 you didn't need to use the concentration, you could use just the golden die to power up the swift bolt and white crystal to power up the swiftness, which in total is 7 damage, and could save the concentration card. It is a small difference but in this game small things like this can cause a big difference in the end. Great content though, I learned how to play mage knight from watching your videos.
hi iam newbie but in 45:40 I think, the hex was played off the rules. The reefs on sides from portal must continues straight, and if I good see you put part of world to the" sea" . But awesome game. ✌️ I played 3times solo,and still no win
I’ve not successfully completed a game of Mage Knight, in fact watching this video is the closest I’ve come, so take this with a grain of salt. Did you play the Heroes correctly at 1:32:35? The card said you need 2 influence to attack another player. I interpret “player” as a human player. It doesn’t effect the outcome, I’m just curious if you overpaid for that card effect?
Been waiting for this! So awesome. I am fairly new to tabletop games because of this channel which is a good thing. Also I have a question for you Colin, it's a bit random but have you ever played any PnP games?
Thanks for watching and commenting! I generally don't as I have enough non PnP games to keep me busy haha! Also I don't have a great way of printing them. Do you play a lot of them?
@@OneStopCoopShopoh fair enough! well as I don't have a huge budget which sucks, I have been playing a couple of PnP games. Zombie in my pocket is one and the other is Mini Rogue.
@@OneStopCoopShop they are mini games but they are keeping me busy while I wait for Friday and One Deck Dungeon which Im getting after seeing you play them. Thank you for helping me find my new hobby!
At the end of the video I noticed that your map doesn’t fit the “vedge” shape…. or it seems it doesn’t as if the 3rd row was off by one tile. I didn’t know i can explore like this.
@@OneStopCoopShop but i like it like this :D ..in the end as long as you are having fun, it doesn’t matter and it looks great just because it doesn’t look like the regular cone i am used to see. Also - i really like your Mage Knight videos. It’s a good game and when it combines with good youtuber like you it turns into great content worth spending an hour and a half absorbing.
Isnt it forbid den by the rules to use any of the units on hand while fighting in dungeons? Im Talking about the situation where Colin used bloc ability of one of his units on minute around 30
At 1:15:13, you say the Altem mage are coldfire resistant. But they are just resistant to ice and fire, not coldfire. Mayby you correct it later (or was mentioned in the comments?). Anyway, I love the fun you have with this amazing game 👍
@@OneStopCoopShop You are 100% right! The attack symbol (of coldfire) is different (coldfire block looks just as fire and ice combined). My mistake 😬. I´m going to play it again tonight! Again, super cool and relaxing to watch video!
I really need to get this game on the table again. I'm just so bad at it lol. Always reach the last castle on the last night and usually too many wounds.
It is hard to find the right pacing for sure. I try to have both cities revealed by the day round 2. That gives you a round and a half to figure out how to deal with them! I hope you give it a go again the game is very rewarding once you figure it out!
1:10:17 for the wounds, first you take 1 wound. Then take 1 and subtract 3 from 8 = 5. Take another wound and get 5 -3= 2. Then take 1 wound for the last 2 damage. So surely you should take 4 (and 4 in discard) rather than only 3 wounds?
@@OneStopCoopShop I think this is incorrect. You were at 3 wounds but you still had to mitigate that last 2 damage so i think you should have been at 4 wounds. Similar to the dragon fight.
29:50 when attacking the medusa what did I miss you got 2 attack from golems and 2 attack from Rage, from what I see it was 1 from golems 1 from rage ?
The golems top ability is attack or block 2. Same with the top of rage! It's weird as they put it as a sentence on the card but you can choose atk or block of 2! 2+2=4
@@OneStopCoopShopif attack 2 or block 2 would make way more sense to me, I guess they were trying to save printer ink to keep costs low doing it that way
Great video. didnt know these existed for mage knight, now i just printed these myself. There's a much cheaper alternative to printing these 3d bits yourself. You can buy 3d designs of similar models on ctgtrader instead of spending $230 for the whole set on esty
I would say I miss at least 5 rules a game but it doesn't matter is still so much fun! The reference cards are super helpful and I've you play it 2 to 3 times it will click! Regardless thanks so much for watching!!
Lol, another mistake I did was considering the terrain of the City for moving in. I just really made my previous games harder 😂😅. Edit: I just realized how helpful conquering Keeps really are for the extra card draws, I'll keep (accidental pun 😂) that in mind, thanks!
This is 2 years late but at 21:42 you could have been more efficient. Instead of Playing Rage for 2, then Crystalize and Threaten sideways for the other two. You could have saved using the Threaten by using the Blue Mana in the source to power Crystalize, gaining a mana crystal of any color(red) then using that to power Rage to do the 4 attack.
@@OneStopCoopShop It looks like it was already asked earlier. At the 45 minute mark. The way I thought of the wedge shape it extends from the one tile and it starts at 1, then 2, then 3, then 4., then 5 tiles across.
@@OneStopCoopShop No worries. And I'm sorry a mistake was made. I think in the end it won't hurt it at all! Your playthroughs are spectacular by the way. Please keep up the good work!
Thank you for the effort you put in. It is great to see a detailed playthrough of MK. Here are some of the things I caught.
1. Norowas is a guy. :)
2. Space Bending and other cards/skills that allow you to travel in spaces has to end on a safe space unless specified otherwise(i.e. Underground Attack).
3. When we explored backwards for the sixth country tile it was beyond the coastline.
4. If Expose is played in the ranged/siege phase the ranged attack does not carry over to the attack phase. In this game it didn't matter because Expose could have been played in the attack phase and the outcome would be the same.
I really appreciate this. More MK videos are always welcome.
First thanks so much for watching and commenting!!
1. Oopsies! How did I think he was a girl??
2. Any idea when I did this so I can make a note?
3. Pretty sure all the rules are ok as the wedge map opens up 2 rules each row and that was the third row.
4. Great catch!
Another playthrough is already recorded and will be out next week!!
@@OneStopCoopShop The tile placing rule always bugs me. As I remember, the wedge map coastline expand from the first tile like a "V-shape", then it grows by 1 more tile for each row. So I think you did beyond the coast line in this play through. But I only played the base game so not sure if there is a rule update. Nice play through and looking forward to the next one!
Agree on the tile on day 2.it is out of place...that is what i find the most difficult thing exploring in order to get to the main tiles soon and as close as possible.
Great playtrough anyway
@@KiNsamaChannel I confirmed I DID bummer!! I made a note and thanks for that! For some reason I Was thinking it increased by 2 tiles per row. . . HAHA Anyhow appreciate you watching!!

Do you have a favorite scenario in Mage Knight? After playing life and death I think that one is mine!
@@OneStopCoopShop We've only played the Shades of Tezla Scenarios once or twice each, so I can't recall how much I like them compared to other scenarios. I remember that 1 Day 1 Night scenario where you "level" up before the game being really difficult until you get the grasp of what you need to do
As for favourite: I would say Volkare's Return (which should really be called Volkare's Quest since he's searching for the City, and Volkare's Return should be his return to the council) because of the additional board positioning puzzle since you know where' he'll end up so you can set him up to be far away from where you reveal the city. And you don't have to chase him around as in Volkare's Quest

Well thanks so much!! I plan to do another one soon! Hard to stay away from one of the best games ever!!
Great video, really helps to remember the rules of my most favorite game, but I have a question about some situations:
1) On the second night, when you stood near the green city, is it possible to see the garrison of troops, if it is not possible to do this at night?
2) When you fought the mage in the green city, shouldn't you have gotten 4 wound cards into your hand, and gotten 8 wound cards to discard? (poisoning from the enemy and poisoning is added by the city itself)
3) I can't remember where exactly in the rules it says that the number of shields in a captured city adds to the influence. (really, how much I played, but I don't remember it)
I will be grateful for the answer!
Your play throughs are fantastic. ive only just delved into the beast that is mage knight and these really help me understand the game mechanics better. thanks and looking forward to more!
Thank you so much!! I hope you enjoy your adventures!!!
At ~45 mins when you explored at the start of the day is that tile past the coastal boundary of the wedge map?
I was asked that before I think not? Ithe wedge map spreads out at two tiles a row right? I'm pretty sure it's right on the edge!
It looks like beyond coastal to me.
Yup I confirmed it and made a note thanks!
To me Ricky Royal‘s Mage Knight videos are the best around. They are excellent to follow, take care to explain the moves made and really get that Mage Knight feeling across. Having said that, Jason, I have to say this video is certainly on par with Ricky‘s video - excellent job! Thanks a lot, really loved the video!
Thanks so much for watching And I agree Ricky's plays are the BEST!!
Awesome play through! That was a lot of fun. I’ve got a production question, do you have one camera filming the whole setup and you zoom in when you edit, or do you reposition the camera each time theres a cut?
All one camera with reposition for different shots! Takes longer to record but easier for editing
Always & I mean ALWAYS great solo playthroughs. Thank you Colin!! :D
Trust me my pleasure! Had so much fun playing this again! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Yesterday I played Mage Knight for the first time. Four years ago I tried this game but the setup put me off. After a couple of hours of watching you play, I decided I had to give this game another chance. The Ultimate Edition landed on my table and it's awesome! Thanks for convincing me to play Mage Knight!
ULTIMATE!! Yes!! So glad you decided to take the plunge. It is a hefty learning curve but once you internalize the rules the game is pure joy as long as puzzles are your thing. Thanks so much for watching!
@@OneStopCoopShop I’ve never thought that I will choose 1hr+ YT video over Netflix 😅 You guys are great. Next game that you convinced me to buy will be Too Many Bones 🎲🎲🎲
Hahaha!! I totally get that though! Netflix doesn't teach you how to enjoy something you already have right?? And yay on Too Many Bones!
Thanks so much for this run-through. I've bounced off mage knight every time I've seen it in the top solo games on bgg, but I finally pushed through the rules overhead this week and I got through First Reconnaissance. Wanted to check out a playthrough to see how cities and the other locations worked, and I really appreciate how well you explain new rules and your decision making as you go through. Ton of help, and awesome run!
Thanks so much!!! Glad it helped and have fun on your adventures!!
I enjoyed a lot your MK playthroughs, your explanations, and the funny but helpful flavour of your clips. I really love this game, but its difficult to find in youtube someone who really know and love the game like you. Congratulations and thank you Colin.
Thanks so much Manuel! Made my day and really appreciate you watching and commenting!!
These videos are great. I've binged them all trying to learn the game before my copy arrives (any idea when the next printing is 😂). These are easily the best mage knight videos on UA-cam. Your passion is infectious
Well thank you so much! I wish I could tell you when reprints are coming but I'm as clueless on that as anyone else haha!! Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!
Ohh yeah! Mage Knight gameplay is always welcome. Congratulations on the victory. It was a clean and powerful run!! Also, omg those terrain pieces are sooo awesome!!
Thank you and yes I LOVE the terrain! Just adds so much to the game!!
hi, can I block those two separate attacks from the first orcs with a card with block 2? Or do they have to be 2 different cards? great video
Epic video! You really highlight why this is one of the best games out there, in my opinion.
Agreed! Part of why this one will never leave my collection!
Awesome game. Where you got the extra terrain pieces for MK ? They look amazing and makes the game feel more interesting.
I know right??!! Check the description I have a link posted there! Thanks for watching!!
those walla are 3d printed right? or did my ultimate box not come with some stuff? if they are printed those are some really great player aids that i need to get.
Yeah, I think Colin had those custom made or printed
Just found your channel and this is the second Solo Conquest playthrough of yours I've watched. Great editing and explanation of your thinking throughout! It has been a long time since I've played solo (I typically play competitive 2p against my brother), but these videos are making me want to play solo again.
One thing I caught was at 1:21:30, you take 3 wounds from that fire draconum, but you could've used your Altem Mages 5 resistance to absorb that and only take a single wound into your hand. You are allowed to assign damage to a Unit even if it is spent (and it also doesn't spend it so you can use it for one of its abilities as you do in that combat for the cold fire attack)
Thanks for that and appreciate your watching!!
Thank you very much for that fantastic video! It really helps me to get a better grasp of the gameplay (as I just got into the game) and was also very fun to watch! Thanks for all the work you put in condensing the game into this compact video!
Thanks so much for the kind words and for watching!!
Thank you for the video! I'm gonna get MK Ultimate edition soon and this video is great to get the hang of the rules and get the feel of the game before actually playing. The editing and sound are excellent and it's overall an entertaining watch. Can't wait to play the real thing!
You sound like you really enjoy this game when you play it! That makes for a fun video to watch. I think there is one small error; 1:32:51 When you fight the final Illusionists in the castle you don’t need to use Concentration and a green mana on Counterattack, because the basic effect of Counterattack would already do the 6 damage you need to take them out ( 2 plus 4 for the two monsters already blocked)
Hi Colin, thx for the playthrough. Ive got some questions though.
Aren't you supposed to get +1 extra fame everytime you kill a rampaging enemy ? And +1 fame everytime you explore a new tile ?
Thanks for watching and no both of those are wrong. No additional fame for exploring or defeating rampaging enemies. Rampager enemies give you plus 1 reputation when defeated!
@@OneStopCoopShop Oh ok, guess some youtubers got these wrong then :/ Or maybe it is only on some scenarios...
You are correct some scenarios provide those items as benefits but not for solo conquest!
I have 1 question at 59:20. You have a Golem with Physical Resistance (3 armor) and the enemy's attack is 6. Why don't you let the Golem receive the damage on the Assigned Damage Phase? As I know, the damage will be less than half because of the Physical resistance. So it's no wound.
Probably because I missed doing it! Thanks for watching!
Wow that was a pretty good playthrought ! Your explications are super clear. Very fun to watch! Thx!
Well thank you very much for watching!
Hey colin, coming back to ask you a question. I have just printed all the terrains, basically everything in that all in bundle. Don't you find almost all of these to interfere with gameplay? Yeah They look super cool if painted but there would just be no place to put the hero mini, right? Thanks for your time.
Oh great question! At least the ones I hebe most of them have places to hold your shield token and the mage can stand on it. But you are right it's not flat and if you can end your turn on the mountains it might be hard to balance your mage there! Haha!!
@@OneStopCoopShop Thanks for the reply. Since the minis don't look good anyways. I'm considering using the terrains but replacing the mini to be something smaller. Like a sigli token? Yeah the mountain is just.. Idk haha
Haha yeah I get that! The mountains I just move off the board if I can end there. Just seems worth it to me!
I did my first conquest, because I just dind't really like the intro scenario but hey. I also played without a dummy and I'm happy to see that I got every rule right. But I did make some mistakes on my first playthrough and adjusted it when I noticed it. Great to see a playthrough to make sure I understood everything :). Next time im going to play with a dummy and see how it goes.
Your Mage Knight playthroughs are really excellent. I will watch any Mage Knight content you put out.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting my friend!
I have Mage Knight UE on the way and this video is very helpful in getting the flow and rules of it! Thanks.
Oh yes!! I hope you can get it to the table soon it is a blast!!
Hey!
Thank you for you video, it's awesome!
But I have one question. On 1:10:20, how did you beat that monster? Because he has 8 armor with physical resistence. So you need 16 of regular damage for win. But you have only 8. Did I missed something?
Little late to the party but he used a spell card to remove all enemy resistances
Every time you play this on the channel Colin, I find Mage Knight hitting my table within the month.
That is exactly what I hope happens!! Thanks for watching!
Finally getting around to watching this one. Little tip for your reference cards. If you get one of those 3x3 binder card sleeves. You can fit all of them in it. Makes it like a double sided piece of paper for all your quick reference stuff.
What an awesome idea!!!! Thanks for that!!
@@OneStopCoopShop No problem at all!
51:28 Gotta love it :) So fun to watch. 56:13 Thanks for pointing that out, I was doing it wrong for the cities as well. Makes it much easier to go in at 2 movement.
Haha! Yeah I love this game!!
39:58 I haven't seen this rule mentioned anywhere in the rulebook and haven't been able to find anything about it online. Why are you reducing the movement cost of the terrain because you have a ready unit?
It's the skill I have I believe! Not a full but a skill for the character!
Oh maaaann I just bought MK UE this week and I watched your entire solo Conquest video of 9months ago. What an amazing surprise! Actually it was kinda funny cause UA-cam notified me and I thought "why is he suggesting me the same video form one stop again?" Lol ..now it is time for another epic adventure, btw I'm loving MK
Haha!! That is great timing! I did name it the same so that's on me. Next week I will have another scenario the life and death one from Tezla! Hope you enjoy them all and it gets you playing on your own!!
@@OneStopCoopShop excellent news, It'll Definitely help me a lot. I don't think rules are hard to understand as the rules book is super well written. But there are a lot of things to remember though. I'm still playing just the base game, but once I've watched your video I'll try it myself too!
You've got it! Good luck my friend!!
More mage knight please! Show off those cool painted 3d terrains
Would love to see a play through of each hero and some of the more unique scenarios. Such a great game to show case!
More is on the way! Thanks for watching!
You made that look like a walk in the park. Hopefully the motivation I need to finally beat this game! Nil out of three solo conquests so far.
You got this! I had a hard time at first too but then it'll just click!
Tickles me that you lose reputation when you take out a mage tower and a city when they are full of evil beings!
Was horrified when you ransacked that poor village after they treated you kindly!
SMH Colin! So disappointed in you! (wags finger!) lol
That was a great playthrough thanks.
Looking forward to the next episode of Mage Knight (with Tesla and his electrical devices)
HAHAHAHA Well I did save that village from a rampaging Draconum you know. . . :) HAHA! I agree reputation in this land is fickle, but you gotta do what you gotta do! Thanks for watching Paul!!
Mage Knight has been on my radar for a while now and this is really helping at winning me over.
One question though. What is the reason for the dummy player?
It is a timer! Otherwise you could do just one action per turn going as slow as you want. The dummy player forces you to push your turns to the limit!
Good gameplay. Enjoyed it a lot. Even despites few little mistakes I am impressed how smooth you conquered all the obstacles.
Appreciate you watching!!
insanely good video format, thank you for your effort!
Thanks so much for watching!!
At 48:08, if I am not wrong, you can play swift bolt and swiftness directly using the same two mana for ranged attack 7 and hence save concentration. Is it a strategy to go through your deck faster?
I wish I could have but I did not have 2 white mana! I used green mana for concentration so I could get enough range attack. Thats why! And yes it can be a strategy to run through your deck faster if you want the round to end!
@@OneStopCoopShop I was wondering the same actually. You used a gold mana, not green - so you could have just powered up the swift bolt. btw - you’re videos are awesome, and you go into just enough detail to follow your thinking but not get bogged down in excessive detailed. Great work!
Always tune in when colin does a game, so relaxing
Thanks so much for watching!!
Please keep always posting MK matches, I love watching! Thank you Colin.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting!!
Thanks for continuing to cover the game :)
My pleasure can't stop playing it! One of the best!
How did the Altem Mages get activated twice on your last round? You use them to get crystals, and then you use them again to attack.
I would have to rewatch but likely had some ability to ready them!
Love these Mage Knight videos! And thanks for the hot tip on the terrain… just ordered it!
OH YEAH! I am telling you it makes the game look even BETTER in person! Just remember they come unpainted. But even still they look AWESOME! There will be another playthrough next week of the Life and Death scenario!
I came here for an imperium playthrough and was left out watching a Mage Knight playthrough XD. Thanks for the video. It was very interesting to watch
Haha!! Well hopefully we helped with both games as both of them are awesome!! Thanks for watching!!
@@OneStopCoopShop I don't know much about Mage Knight but it sure does look interesting to play. While with Imperium, I know I'm getting it at some point 😁
Good!! Well I think if you enjoy imperium you'll enjoy mage knight. Just saying!!
@@OneStopCoopShop Good to know ;)
After playing the original box (2nd hand from Ebay) for a few games I saw that the ultimate is back in stock so bought it. Waiting for it to arrive and this has just got me more excited for it!!! Great play through!
Thanks so much for watching and I hope you have a blast playing it!! One of the greatest of all times!
I was hoping to ask a question here since I can't seem to find it on any forums. I am playing one game with the ultimate edition but using only the standard stuff for my first few games. I just noticed by shuffling my map tiles that my present game has no Monastries. Is that possible or is that something I need to ensure is in game at all times. I was using seven country side tiles so some are left out. edited: Ok just hit my first city with a monastry on it. So I guess it could be possible to luck out throughout the map and hit only later. But any comments welcomed thx.
Nah that's just random! I've had games I've never seen them and other times you will see tons of em!
You can only have 3 of each crystal in your inventory? So any games played and I never knew that. Not that I hit that limit often.
I swear I learn a new rule for this game every time I play it! Haha!!!
Can anyone help me understand, as I read the rules, isn’t his map not in a wedge shape as it should be for solo conquest? Maybe I’m not fully understanding it but looks like 1 tiles out of the coast line.
Certainly could have happened!
Hey just learning Mage Knight as I got mine a couple of days ago, yay! Quick question, in another video of Shaggi from Totally Tabled he reminds us to add one fame to our track each time we explore a new tile. I didn't see Colin do it in this playthrough, is it something that you do depending on the scenario?
Kudos on the videos, they're amazing!
the +1 fame for exploring is a rule for the First Reconnaisance scenario (the scenario recommended for first-time players). This video is showing the Conquest scenario.
@@miguelpereira8074 Obrigado Miguel ;) Reparei no momento que acabei o primeiro livro de regras e fui para o livro principal :D
Always makes me smile to see this :)
You are the reason I play this game!!!
Nice! Where did you get the mountains, keeps etc from? I heard you mention having to paint them. Did you make them from scratch? Like 3D printed? Aaand, are you interested in selling some?:)
You can get them at the etsy site that should be in my description of the video! Let me know if you can't find it! I love them so much it adds to the board a lot!
@@OneStopCoopShop ah, I found it! Yeah i found it really added to the immersion of the adventure. Think I’ll order some too 😁
Norowas is one of my favourite Mage Knight. It's awsome to have a bunch of badasses units.
I can see why - certainly one of the most powerful mages!!
Die allererste Partie haben wir hinter uns ! Ein wirklich großartiges Spiel! 😍
Aber natürlich auch jetzt Fragen 😉 : wir haben einen umherziehenden Orkgegner gehabt mit physischem Widerstand!
Einmal steht bei Widerstand das der Schaden gegen einen solchen halbiert wird und an anderer Stelle das zuerst die Rüstung abgezogen wird vom Angriff..was denn jetzt?
Bei dem Ork war es noch egal da er 3 Rüstung hatte und ich so oder so 6 Punkte Schaden machen müsste um ihn zu töten.
Vielleicht ist's rechnerisch auch egal, aber vom verstehen her gibts doch mehr Sinn das der Widerstand bedingt das ich doppelt so hart zuschlagen müsste um .. ?
Ich finde den Text mit Rüstung erst abziehen in Verbindung mit Widerstand halt echt irreführend. Halbe Wirkung aufgrund Widerstand viel verständlicher.
Und dann war noch eine weitere Frage zu z.B. einem Magierturm.
Der Turm ist befestigter Ort, die Zauberer darin zählen als befestigt. Im Text etwas das damit auch Angriffe mit Belagerungswaffen ausschließt richtig? Also bliebe bei einem Magierturm es immer nur übrig den zu überfallen? So da nie die Option den durch Fernkampf/Belagerung auszuschalten bevor es ungemütlich wird?
Würde dann ja auch für Burgen gelten, weil befestigt.
Wann kann ich gegen was überhaupt Belagerungswaffen einsetzen??
Sorry die scheinbar unnützen Fragen, aber die haben uns beschäftigt.
Trotzdem sehr geiles Spiel ! 😍
Hi There! I am not entirely sure what you asking I tried using google translate :)! If you attack with a resistant enemy, the attack type is halved rounded down. You certainly can use siege attack on a Mage Tower unless it is behind a wall, then it is double-fortified. Hope that helps and have fun!
Pretty good thanks for all the work!! Your videos help me a lot, Just one thing I think that according to the rules you cannot explore a tile if this doesn't adjoint to two other tiles.
Glad you came back to this game. Makes me want to get back into it! I always forget the rules though haha. You're doing very well! (Still watching up to the first night :P hopefully didn't jinx you haha).
Thank you for watching! Overall it was a solid play and I hope this gets you to pull the game off the shelf!
Many thanks for the video. I am learning to play MK and this videos really helps a lot.
So glad to hear it!! Good luck on your adventures!!
Have you noticed a quailty improvement or is the quality of the game less than the original version? I got in the new version in today and the cards seem not as good. Plus the tile for volkars back isn't the same color as the normal one.. It seems off
Oh no!! I feel so bad mine seemed great. Maybe contact WizKids?
I just got into this game, so far Im only playing First Recon with every character to get into the rules. Now I started to watch your playthrough and I am wondering: Where do these walls come from? Is this from an expansion?
Oh no it's from etsy! I'll post a link quick
www.etsy.com/listing/854863903/mage-knight-all-in-3d-terrain-set-88-pcs
@@OneStopCoopShop there is a link in the video description, thanks for the fast response Colin! I meant the gameplay element, not the miniature. ;)
Ohh haha!! Yes walls are in the expansion not the base. The provide fortifications to those enemies behind them!
These videos must take quite a while to edit! I love to watch MK content because I don't have the time to invest in this game. Just out of curiosity, what is the metric by which you evaluate how well you did. The final score didn't mean much to me.
Yes editing takes a bit haha!! But it's worth it. I just want to win the scenario but you can count up Fame and compare it to previous plays of the game. So a bit of a beat your own score I guess!
One of my all-time favorite games! It was my very first game when I began my solo gaming hobby! Where did you get those 3-D tokens. They are awesome! Keep up the great content!
Thanks so much for watching and I agree it's one of the bests! I put a link on where you can get the 3d terrain in the description of the video!
Don’t you have to attack all the enemies at the same time? I’m confused how you approach attacking multiple enemies at cities
You can choose to attack multiple at the same time but if you do they gain all the resistances that any of them have. You can also take them one by one. What's important is that they each attack you individually, then you can lump any together.
Best gameplay of this masterpiece! I'm sooooo ready to play now and I own it to you ( I hope I said it right, English is not my first language). Great job! (43:00 just a reminder for my future solo conquest ;)
Haha awesome!!!!! Have fun!
48:21 you didn't need to use the concentration, you could use just the golden die to power up the swift bolt and white crystal to power up the swiftness, which in total is 7 damage, and could save the concentration card. It is a small difference but in this game small things like this can cause a big difference in the end.
Great content though, I learned how to play mage knight from watching your videos.
Thanks so much Irfan!!
hi iam newbie but in 45:40 I think, the hex was played off the rules. The reefs on sides from portal must continues straight, and if I good see you put part of world to the" sea" . But awesome game. ✌️ I played 3times solo,and still no win
Nice!! Glad you are enjoying it!!
I’ve not successfully completed a game of Mage Knight, in fact watching this video is the closest I’ve come, so take this with a grain of salt. Did you play the Heroes correctly at 1:32:35? The card said you need 2 influence to attack another player. I interpret “player” as a human player. It doesn’t effect the outcome, I’m just curious if you overpaid for that card effect?
Correct! I have a subtitle up for that I think but I overpaid they're since I was not assaulting a building or another player! Thanks for watching!!
Thanks for the reminder to get this one to the table.
My pleasure!
Been waiting for this! So awesome. I am fairly new to tabletop games because of this channel which is a good thing. Also I have a question for you Colin, it's a bit random but have you ever played any PnP games?
Thanks for watching and commenting! I generally don't as I have enough non PnP games to keep me busy haha! Also I don't have a great way of printing them. Do you play a lot of them?
@@OneStopCoopShopoh fair enough! well as I don't have a huge budget which sucks, I have been playing a couple of PnP games. Zombie in my pocket is one and the other is Mini Rogue.
I'm going to look those up thanks for that!!

Awesome great choices too! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Excellent playthrough!!
At the end of the video I noticed that your map doesn’t fit the “vedge” shape…. or it seems it doesn’t as if the 3rd row was off by one tile. I didn’t know i can explore like this.
You need to have the wedge shape i think ib missed that!
@@OneStopCoopShop but i like it like this :D ..in the end as long as you are having fun, it doesn’t matter and it looks great just because it doesn’t look like the regular cone i am used to see.
Also - i really like your Mage Knight videos. It’s a good game and when it combines with good youtuber like you it turns into great content worth spending an hour and a half absorbing.
Well thank you so much! And yes the experience is just a blast! Appreciate you watching and commenting you made my day!
Isnt it forbid den by the rules to use any of the units on hand while fighting in dungeons? Im Talking about the situation where Colin used bloc ability of one of his units on minute around 30
Sorry. That were ruins not dungeon.
those 3d components look so cool
I know!!! I have the rest of them painted now, so next video will be even better!
At 1:15:13, you say the Altem mage are coldfire resistant. But they are just resistant to ice and fire, not coldfire. Mayby you correct it later (or was mentioned in the comments?). Anyway, I love the fun you have with this amazing game 👍
Unless my current rule are wrong they most certainly are cold fire resistant. Check page 24 of the rules! Love this game!!
@@OneStopCoopShop You are 100% right! The attack symbol (of coldfire) is different (coldfire block looks just as fire and ice combined). My mistake 😬. I´m going to play it again tonight! Again, super cool and relaxing to watch video!
No problem at all! Have fun playing my friend!!
I really need to get this game on the table again. I'm just so bad at it lol. Always reach the last castle on the last night and usually too many wounds.
It is hard to find the right pacing for sure. I try to have both cities revealed by the day round 2. That gives you a round and a half to figure out how to deal with them! I hope you give it a go again the game is very rewarding once you figure it out!
@@OneStopCoopShop I definitely plan to! I love the game. It's the first complex board game I ever got. Just been busy.
@@septendecim7390 Life - always getting in the way! :)
1:10:17 for the wounds, first you take 1 wound. Then take 1 and subtract 3 from 8 = 5. Take another wound and get 5 -3= 2. Then take 1 wound for the last 2 damage. So surely you should take 4 (and 4 in discard) rather than only 3 wounds?
Yeah I took 3 wounds to hand?
Yup 3 wound is right. You take the number 8 and divide it by your defense and round up. That's 3 wounds
@@OneStopCoopShop oh ok, I thought it was 1 + attack divided by armour
No worries!
@@OneStopCoopShop I think this is incorrect. You were at 3 wounds but you still had to mitigate that last 2 damage so i think you should have been at 4 wounds. Similar to the dragon fight.
I wish there is digital version of this game.
Great Job! Thanx!
Thanks for watching!!
14:52 where does it say in the instructions that you can’t ever pick the skill token you decided not to choose?
Can't remember where just know it's right. You can't choose your own skill in the skill offer.
29:50 when attacking the medusa what did I miss you got 2 attack from golems and 2 attack from Rage, from what I see it was 1 from golems 1 from rage ?
The golems top ability is attack or block 2. Same with the top of rage! It's weird as they put it as a sentence on the card but you can choose atk or block of 2! 2+2=4
@@OneStopCoopShopif attack 2 or block 2 would make way more sense to me, I guess they were trying to save printer ink to keep costs low doing it that way
I'm with you!
Great video. didnt know these existed for mage knight, now i just printed these myself. There's a much cheaper alternative to printing these 3d bits yourself. You can buy 3d designs of similar models on ctgtrader instead of spending $230 for the whole set on esty

Appreciate you watching and commenting!!
This is 2 years late but at 21:42 you could have been more efficient. Instead of Playing Rage for 2, then Crystalize and Threaten sideways for the other two. You could have saved using the Threaten by using the Blue Mana in the source to power Crystalize, gaining a mana crystal of any color(red) then using that to power Rage to do the 4 attack.
Can you explore that way at half way through video?
No idea what you are talking about sorry!
@@OneStopCoopShop It looks like it was already asked earlier. At the 45 minute mark. The way I thought of the wedge shape it extends from the one tile and it starts at 1, then 2, then 3, then 4., then 5 tiles across.

@@OneStopCoopShop No worries. And I'm sorry a mistake was made. I think in the end it won't hurt it at all! Your playthroughs are spectacular by the way. Please keep up the good work!
