19:45 If a Guard is in the same room, an Alarm is NOT Triggered. Per the Rulebook. Page 5. "ALARMS" Section. "If the Guard is currently in the Alarm Tile, you do not Trigger the Alarm."
When setting up it should be 1. Place the guard 2. Place the first player piece 3. Place the guard destination dice (i.e. you don't know where the guard is going until you're in the building). It also looks like you didn't remove 6 of the guard patrol cards at the beginning (for a 2 player game).
This was the best teach/play through I’ve watched. Just got my copy the other day. Was going to be a Christmas present, but I think I’m breaking it out. Lol. Thank you for doing this.
10:38 I am reading the Hawk's ability in the same way you did. You can move onto a tile with a guard, but you need to leave before it moves. I don't understand the bottom text correction. Why would he lose a token?
So, it's been a while since I recorded this.... I think the difference is that I said you "CANNOT" (like, you couldn't even choose to) move onto a space with a guard. The reality is that you MAY, but you would be forced to lose a stealth token..... I'm not 100% sure that I'm saying that correctly as I type this (in terms of what I was thinking and such) but that's the best I can tell by going back and watching...
Seems like there's a lot of stuff overlooked. What happens if you just run blind into a keypad room? Why didn't you roll a dice 26:14? Might as well since you have 1 action left.
If you run blind into a keypad room you essentially get knocked back. So, it's revealed, but you can't enter until you break the code. And, often I overlook things like potential dice rolls when playing with or without a camera. More so with a camera. I'm human and definitely make mistakes.... lots of mine just happen to be recorded for lots of views. 😄
Hey JT, I cannot even remember which party-store I got these from.... but they were something like this: www.amazon.com/JYtrend-Bright-Floral-Submersible-Wedding/dp/B00IT9QIGE/ref=sr_1_10?dchild=1&keywords=submersible+led+lights&qid=1624989942&sr=8-10 Basically they're "mini submersible led lights" -- and you can find some that are blinking.
Thank you for this vid! I recently backed the new stand-alone expansion of burgle bros on Kickstarter, and wanted to check out the original version. I like your calm explanations during the playthrough and because you are a longtime player, your vid comes through better than others that just learn the rules and play once before making the vid. Also, I would not have thought if this as an entry for new gamers, but now I will. I ended up purchasing this version to hold me over until the second version is finished. Looking forward to your vid on the new version coming out later this year.
Oh my gosh -- I am so dang excited about the sequel!!!!!!!! This is definitely my most-played cooperative game I own. It's one of the only games I own that I've played enough to start showing some wear.....
Burble Bros!? Typos aside, it's a great game -- the random rooms and walls can screw you around, but that's the nature of the beast. Quick comment about starting position: I reckon it would be better to start in the tile next to the dead end. That way you can peek into it and then ignore it completely if it's, say, lasers. That just personal preference really, and doesn't even save you that many moves with only 2 characters.
Also, I don't think it takes an action to enter the building. Just double-checked the rules, and it seems you are automatically placed inside on your first go. (We've been doing it wrong too, though, since we just put everyone in the start room at once.)
In theory you give the acrobat an extra turn around 15:00 since he started on the camera, not the stairs. (But since you didn't use the 4th action, it's all good.) And while I'm being nit-picky (sorry), the rules say you can use a Virus card even if you're not on the tile (18:10), and at 23:20 you can start rolling a safe even if you have covered tiles (although numbers you roll don't retroactively affect numbers that are later uncovered).
At 39:00 The Hawk should have set off the detector alarm (which is pretty nasty, since it would have got the guard to move up the western corridor and probably roll over everyone). Looking at your first video, and your explanation of the room stack here, it looks like you didn't remove any cards from it. In a 2 player game you are meant to remove 6 cards from each stack, just to hurry the guard along. Anyway, apart from a couple of issues, I really like all your presentation and setups, and good to see some Burgle Bros love!
2024 now.. i've been searching for a good tutorial for this game, watched lots of videos and yours is the best and clearest yet. thank you so much.
Thanks for this. Couple years late but you’re humor and teaching made watching this a breeze

That's great! Thank you so much!
Thanks for another great training video, even if I am years later. I sincerely hope you are well and living a good life.

Thanks so much for such a nice comment! I played this game this week AGAIN! I just can’t get enough of it....

It would be great if you could add a note with a link to where you got the little blinking LED disks that you use for alarms

39:03 You forgot to stop with the hawk, or trigger an additional alarm since the hawk had tools and loot. Otherwise great video.
Thanks a bunch! I ALWAYS forget the hawk...........

That’s a great point I hadn’t thought about! Like..... ever! Haha! I’ll make sure to fix the typo and note these other things too. Thanks a lot!

Yeah, I just thought of that too (neglecting to pull the patrol cards) as I was addressing these other issues. Good eye! Thanks a bunch!
