It’s getting to the point where when I get a new game I don’t even really read the instructions I just watch your channel lol
@RC Reviews Haha!! Glad I can get you in the game a bit quicker with my interpretation of the rules. :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer yeah it’s actually easier for me to get a visual of what’s going on and to have the instructions read aloud, then it is for me to read them, I’ll just forget lol, I guess that’s the type of learner I am
At 21:30 you didn't move the fear track up 5 for the civilians removed. Which means down the road Red kill actually won when his fear track was moved again.
Looks like you still would've won, but it was gonna be close (19 of 20 fear).
@@christopherbriggs9749 ah, I couldn't see the numbers well on the card on my phone.
@Michael Brewer Good catch ... and glad it only took me to 19 out of 20. One card in hand, and 1 on the track. Red Skull nearly succeeded at his evil plan! Thanks for watching! :)
This was so clear! I was feeling very meh about the game but watching you play and the amount of time it took (editing not included of course) made it look so fun. Just a turn off your brain kinda game. Just what I need. Thank you for making the vid! That's a sub from me.
@Miguel-Eduardo Fuentes Thanks for watching, and the sub! I tend to stay away from brain burning type of games, my day job can do that, so I like a nice fun game to unwind. :)
SUPER CLEAR playthrough! Thank you!
Bought this on sale just this week and I have to say, this was a super clear demo of the game. Thanks! Will definitely grab some card sleeves and try to get some games going. Hopefully I should have the minis painted in the near future as well.
Hope you have a great time painting and playing! :)
Squeaked that win! Hooray!! Good job! 😊
im playing this game first time right now while watching your video , thanks for the help
@Jed Ragna Mob Thanks for watching, and hope your game went well!! :)
Well done, very good video! properly explained, thanks a lot!
@Fernando Allo Acevedo. Glad it was helpful, and thanks for watching!
Looks interesting, hopefully will find out tomorrow if we can avoid a flood! Good learning video.
I hope the Hoard can avoid a flood too!!
The best tutorial on how to play this game!
Thanks for watching, much appreciated! :)
Great job! I had my first play through today and then watched yours. I think I did okay. Cheers! 🥃👍🏻
Thanks for watching, and happy gaming! :)
Rules explanations/clarifications/mistakes:
1. At 21:30, I overlooked moving the track up by 5. You'll have to watch to the end to see if that changed the game. ;)
I noticed that too, but even still you did end up winning. Thank you for the play through. I am starting to feel sad that I didn't end up backing this... :(
@Cubson I think there will be at least 4 expansion coming to retail for this; Rise of the Black Panther, Tales of Asgard, Guardians of the Galaxy Remix and Enter the Spider-Verse. Should be plenty more content for the game. :)
Well done, we love this game. My favorite is Hulk destroying an entire location lol.
@BenGamin Games Hulk does like to SMASH!! :)
Very well done thx
@magneto25 Thanks, very much appreciated. :)
Great tutorial. Subbed.
@Wiliam Bennett Glad it helped, and thanks for the sub! :)
Great video and you got yourself a new subscriber as well.
One rules question: when you played Hail Hydra for Red Skull, didn't you need to add the discarded civilians to the threat meter of Red Skull?
@Frederic Michaux I know I missed adding to the threat meter once, so the game should have ended at 19 ... so a bit too close!! :)
And thanks for watching and subscribing! Very much appreciated! :)
I don't want to buy this game at first because I couldn't understand the how-to's haha. But after watching this, def getting this!! Good job!
@Studio Veronika Glad i could help explain the game! Happy gaming! :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer yasss thanks so much! Cannot wait to get mine ☺️
I watched your tutorial first and then read the instructions and everything just fell into place.
@Ultrashiver Thanks for watching, and hope your first game went well!! :)
Captain America just told Red Skull, “I can do this all day!”
@Drew D. Yes he did. :)
I got the ultimate pledge for a fair price and I am stoked at the amount of content. The gameplay is simple yes but offers a lot of strategic value as you must balance your thoughts, civilians, crisis tokens and the need to fill those mission cards to be able to hit the main villain. I like this a lot. Plus the minis for painting are fantastic.
I’ve had a blast every time I play … and yes, the miniatures are amazing. CMON has that as a given. :)
Enjoy!!
Thanks for writing. I own all Arcadia quest and masmorra content plus starcadia. They do a great job at minies and content. Quality is superb and the gameplay very engaging. A lot of people dis Arcadia quest in favor to starcadia but for me they, although similar mechanics, feel like a different game. Great video it clarified a lot. I didn’t knew you you’re the actions of the previous cards. I might had miss that in the rules so I was struggling with just the actions of one card. Thanks.
A couple of rules questions for you: Stark Labs allow you to exchange a card in your hand for one in the Storyline. If you hadn’t been collapsing the Storyline for space conservation, could you exchange a card from anywhere in the Storyline? Also, at one point Red Skull’s BAM! was activated which does one damage to each hero at his location, and the added caption said luckily there were no thugs at their location either. What difference would that make? Thanks for all your great play throughs!
@cptmark427 Thanks for watching! For your questions, yes, any card could have been exchanged in the storyline, and for the caption related to henchmen, they do extra damage during a BAM! Hope that helps! :)
Hi Dale! Don't you plan on playing games with some of the stretch goals or the expansions. Or even some other modes? I like playing heroic mode: this way, each hero feel very unique.
I always have "plans" for playing more games, finding the time to play and record is the issue. ;)
Thanks for watching!
Just got this game from my best friend as a birthday present, was lookin on solo playthru and then saw your cards are sleeved, how do you store them on the box? Cause if i sleeve them, the cards wont fit on the left and right side (cause i put all the tokens on the middle one). Any help would be great! Also great video! I love it
@BigMag173 Due to the amount of content, I have "unsleeved" them, since there isn't much shuffling. Another thing I generally do, that makes some people cringe, is I throw away the inserts and use deck boxes and other small boxes for tokens. Hope that helps! :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer ahhhhhh got it, so you just throw the insert and use another smaller box to organize them right? Yeah i think im gonna agree with some people XD and yeah I've read a bunch of people said about not needing to sleeve it because you're only gonna shuffle the deck like once a game, but im a huge slever and especially cause its a birthday present i dont want it to have tear at all you know? Hahaha but thank you so much for the quick reply and the suggestions! I really appreciate it! Keep up the good work!🙇
I want ALL the minis to paint but it looks like they wouldn't really do much different so I don't think it's worth investing in buying from the resellers. I'm just sad I missed the damn kickstarter. So many minis for so little!
The X-Men kickstarter is live but I'll settle with the base game because honestly, I don't know 95% of the stretch goal characters.
Thanks for the playthrough!
Thanks for watching, and they definitely dug deep for characters. :)
Dude I did my first solo of any game with Marvel United and watching your video. I played along just so I can understand what's going on and next thing you know I'm doing my own thing. You rock my dude!
I have a couple questions though. If you're playing solo and you play a ironman card with a special effect and then play another ironman card with no special effect can you then use the special effect of the previous card since it's the same hero?
Also can you use action tokens on the active hero the same turn it received those action tokens?
@Ezrio_YT Congrats! :)
The only powers you get from the previous card will be the 1 or two powers on the bottom of the card, not any text or special items in the middle.
As for the last question, I forget, but something like that does sound familiar. :)
Quick look at the X-Men rules, looks like you can use them immediately, or hold on to them for a future turn. :)
Looks like a fun game. Might pick this up when I see it at the store. Where did you buy your clear card sleeves? They look nice with the game.
@Gabe Layhadi I'm using DragonShield clear matte sleeves and really enjoy them. Thanks for watching! :)
Did you remove the tray so the sleeved cards would fit in the box?
Nice! However, I think you missed fully resolving Hail Hydra by skipping the Fear Track advancement for each civilian removed. It's still a W, but your Fear Track should have ended at 19. Close game! hi5
@Matt Temple Thanks for watching, and it did get extra close with that. I do have that noted in a pinned comment. How are you enjoying the game?
@@DaletheCasualGamer it's been great! I"ve been playing it for the past few days in solo mode to learn the rules before inviting the fam to play. I noticed in your gameplay, I've been doing something wrong...I've been using a card's action to affect a hero unrelated to the card itself. For example, playing an Iron Man card to move Captain Marvel. In cases where the villain deals damage to each hero and you do not have a card corresponding to one (or two) of the three heroes, do you discard three cards still or just one for each unique hero card you have in hand?
@@busterrbunny6102 When taking damage in solo mode, I've never gone for a specific hero card, just losing a card from hand ... but that would be a good thing to try if possible. :)
I was going to back this game for all the exclusives and expansions. But finances became low. Forgot it came out!
@DrReverendCLove Thanks for watching! Hopefully the finances are doing better, and you can pick this up as the expansion come out. Should still be a lot of content! :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer ordered it while watching your video playthrough! Excited to play it.
It's possible that someone has already asked this, but if you had to choose, which Marvel game would you keep in your collection based on how many times you will play it?
Only 1 Marvel Game!? Not sure I could do it. Marvel Champions and Marvel Zombies are my top two right now. And I still have Marvel Legendary.
Marvel Splendor is still on my shelf, and just recently got Marvel Age of Heroes.
I have sold Marvel United ... but to a friend, and I still play with him in his game group. :)
A few questions: Do threat cards take immediate effect like “Entangling Trap”? Where hero’s need 2 move actions to move but what if we can’t... I’m confused there. And also Taskmasters copycat. If it’s the start card would it count as overflow.??? 😵
Villain cards resolve from top to bottom, and yes, if a hero needs 2 move and only has 1, he is stuck. So hopefully another hero can help him out with card play ... and also yes, overflow can start immediately. This game can be very random because some of the villains have nasty cards and if those come out first, it's gonna be tough getting started. Good luck! :)
15:40 rules question would be. do you track the health of thugs or it has to be one shot? if its resolved similar to Ultron Drones in Marvel Champions then after you hit thug with 1 health and defeat a threat he should die maybe
Rules really didn’t go that in depth. So I’ll wait for the FAQ. They were specific on the double needed for movement, but not the thugs.
You don't track the health for the thugs, you need to do it in all one swoop. But you can do 1 attack and 1 wildcard
You think you'll play any of the expansions now that pledges are being fulfilled idk if you have sth on the way but I'd love to see you play the sinister six or thor expansion 😊
@Tommy Van Driessche I actually just got back from playing with another UA-camr and he is doing the editing. Not sure how soon he will have those plays posted. We just mixed some things up, but I hope to do at least one play with one of the expansions. :)
Thanks for watching!
@@DaletheCasualGamer ah good stuff. The game is rather simple as other ppl have pointed out but it doesn't have to be a lacerda game everytime. Some of the expansions/expansion villains add different enough mechanics to keep it fresh and a bit more challenging. There's also a ultimate campaign on BGG that provides a way of combining all content
@@tommyvandriessche592 I'm all about fun, and for a simple game, this is fun and yet has some strategy to it. Every game is not going to be an easy win ... or at least, that's what I'm telling myself. ;)
How do you use the other villains? Looking at the cards, only Red Skull has the villainous plot tracker on his card. Dont the other villains need that? (dont have the rules)
@shinmusashi44 The villains all have their own dashboard that will explain how they work. Hope that helps! :)
So does BAM! only take effect if the villain card has the mark on it?
@Dallas Texas BAM is a generic symbol for "check the villain card or location cards". Hope that helps, and happy gaming! :)
Hi!
I have a query:
While playing SOLO & my character (specific) takes damage, should I discard a card corresponding to that character or any card from hand?
Any card. Happy gaming! :)
Another query pal: When does the henchman's BAM takes place?@@DaletheCasualGamer
In solo mode, when you have two hero's on an end of turn card, do you activate that effect twice?
Just the character that activated. Hope that helps! :)
Link for the sleeves you used? Thanks!
@Armando Valladares I mainly use DragonShield clear matte sleeves. They are on the expensive side. I had used Fantasy Flight sleeves for a long time and for similar quality would recommend GameGenics or Sleeve Kings for similar quality for Fantasy Flight. Hope that helps! :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer Thanks! I’ve got a box of Dragon Shield laying around but sadly they have a black back! Guess I’ll buy new ones. Those standard sized?
I think they have all colors for backs, I use their clear matte sleeves. Good luck!
After playing a few times does it still fun to play solo or rather it's a more coop oriented game? And more for kids or adults? :D
@MrAtrion I tend to prefer playing this game with others, but still a solid solo game. And while the art and miniatures to look made for kids, the game has strategy of how to play a card good for your turn, but also boost what the next player needs to do.
Honestly, for me, when looking at this game I feel like it is an average game ... but every time it gets to the table, I always have a great game experience making it an above average game for me. :)
Hope that helps, and happy gaming!
Just got the Xmen… still complicated to do 😅
Happy gaming!! :)
Ok I know this sounds crazy , But If I own Marvel Champions is there a reason I would want to own this game as well ? It seems very similar in a broad sense...meaning A cooperative Superhero game vs villains ? Since you have and played both I figured it was a good question to pose. It does look fun
@Stephen Poulin In the sense you are playing cooperatively with others against villains, yes the "theme" is very similar, but the mechanics of how the game is played is very different in my opinion and provides for a totally different play experience. United is also a lot less rules and easier to teach and play.
For me Champions will get a lot more play, but I'm also glad to have United in my collection to pull out on occasion. :)
@@DaletheCasualGamer Thanks , I appreciate your willingness to tell me your thoughts on these things 😃
@@Scubasgamecorner I might have a gaming problem, so I have lots of opinions to share on the subject. ;)
Hey, what card sleeves do you use? :)
Depending on the amount of shuffling the game may require, I might go Dragon Shields clear matte or other games FFG or similar sleeve types. Hope that helps.
@@DaletheCasualGamer yeah, thanks! :) appreciate
What size sleeves are you using?
@Tim Seals They are standard card game size cards (like magic the gathering). I typically use Dragon Shield clear matte sleeves or Fantasy Flight Games sleeves (or something similar). Hope that helps. :)
What Do 'Crisis' token do? they go on location?
@B. Mann It depends on the villain, so crisis tokens could do different things.
you got wasp i got venom. i wanted venom so bad he will paint up nice.
@qwertyman459 Happy painting!! :)
it feels similar to Pandemic in many ways hehe :D
I’m a fan of “Marvel Pandemic”. ;)
SO arent you supposed to use each hero in turn? I see you just have a mash up in your hand of the dif hero cards.
@juloran1 Those are the rules for playing solo. Happy gaming!
I see you like Marvel haha
I like DC too, but there’s better Marvel options in gaming at the moment. :)
Your capt america dont have shield
