Good job on surviving that one. It was pretty brutal for a moment there. Can’t get enough of this game and these playthroughs! Hopefully I’ll be there live tomorrow!!
Yes this is a ton of fun. I excited to continue the journey. Thanks for all the continued support. Always a pleasure to hear from you BrockliDawkins!!!! 😃😃👍
I would assume the plus gets added before the cards are drawn so the damage would be 6. Same thing would happen if the enemy had a modifier on their action card, because it's happening before any modifier cards are drawn.
Thank you NYCFenrir that makes perfect sense. I’ll make sure to put a comment in the video. Thank you so much for the help, and thanks for watching 😃😃👍
Those Synthetic ships look amazing! I know what video I'll be watching next :) I completely messed up this scenario when I played it. I read the Hack ability wrong and was giving myself miss cards instead of stress. Somehow we still won. 12:15 If this games plays by Gloomhaven rules, which for the most part it does, then the modifier deck wouldn't get shuffled until the end of the round. I can't find anything that says the Enemy deck is shuffled immediately, only the player deck. Maybe I missed it somewhere? I prefer to minimize the shuffling, so this is how I've chosen to do it until something more concrete is provided from the designer. 19:00 Going by my previous assertion (assuming it is correct), the 2x multiplier would also take into account all of the bonuses you have on the attack should the....but have to be activated prior to drawing the modifier card
Thank you Dayrell Glad you enjoyed it. I have to say I almost did the same thing for the Hack when I first read it lol!!! Im glad I'm not the only one. Thanks for the clarification on the rules that makes sense. Thanks for the great comment and thanks as always for watching
There are branching paths in the story that have different enemies attacking and the story changes as you go. So it is possible that you fought totally different enemies. Hope that helps and thanks for watching 😃😃👍
This game has a very "Spacehaven" feel to it. Even the conditions are pretty much like-for-like!! Still, copying Gloomhaven can't be a bad thing, and the minis and colourscheme of the rules and character cards look great!
Yes it is very much like spacehaven. They have used many of the mechanics for sure. I totally agree coping one of the best games ever can’t be all bad lol!!! 😃😃👍
I'm just starting to play this. It helps immensely to watch other's play as I have come across the same questions you had about the x2 modifier being applied before or after the Proximity Exploit pilot ability add 1 damage. I play that you first add in all of the base damage modifiers and then double it. So, it would've been 6 damage instead of 5. That's because the rulebook (pg 14) says that the modifier is applied to their "base damage." Also when this rule is applied to the enemy cards, their base damage on their ship card is added with the turn-card that has a damage modifier on it. So, if the enemies base damage is 2 and the turn card says +1 damage and then the modifier card says x2, you would first add 2+1=3 and then double it. So, I think that's how it should apply to the player so it stays consistent. Also, the way I understood the rules, at the beginning of each enemies' turn, they choose a target. They will stay on that target for the remainder of their turn unless that target can no longer be attacked (usually after movement/rotating) AND the enemy can attack a new target (without moving/turning). This is based on page 19 in the rulebook. So, technically, at the 36:00 mark, you can switch targets, you skipped showing that if the enemy would've rotated towards it's initial target, your ship would not have been in the attack area. So, the enemy ship would not rotate, and instead attack the ship it did. So far, I really like this game a lot, but there are a lot of gray areas. I've tried finding clarification in the FAQs, but it seems like people decided to not post/ask these questions and just played it however they wanted to play it. In the end, I doubt it would change the outcome of the majority of the missions, and fretting over these little discrepancies doesn't add to the joy of the game. I have a few more missions to play before I can watch the 3rd-5th videos in this series, but am really enjoying your gameplay. Also love that you painted your minis. I need to paint mine before I get too far into the game.
Thank you Tim for the great comment. There is a ton of grey areas I feel. Thank you for the help for sure you make a ton of sense and if you dig into the rules I believe you can at least get a good idea as to how you should be able to handle these grey areas. I hope you continue to enjoy this game it is a ton of fun. I have really loved what I have played so far. Thanks for everything and thank you so much for watching
Enjoyed the video, just got the game and trying to learn. Excellent as tutorial for me. Truffle shuffle is fun the first time mentioned, after that not so much.
Thank you glad you enjoyed the video. This is such a fun game. Glad you were able to learn from the video. You got to live the truffle shuffle, sorry you didn’t. Thanks for the feedback and thanks for watching 😃😃👍
47:31 Sounds like a scene inspired by Anubis destroying Abydos with Eye of Tiamat...
