These videos are terrific. For a beginner, it's all you need to understand the game completely. Thanks so much for taking the time and creating them!!!
Deserves another look. This was the first hobby type board game I bought. Dunwich Horror is the only expansion I have. Almost need a car to get around the combined boards. Love all your work. Yours was my favourite board game channel from the start. Still is. Thanks for all your efforts.
Just discovered your videos. Great job!! I've got through 2 of the Mage Knight series and am now watching this one. I just ordered Mage Knight and feel that I could play it for the most part right out of the box after watching your videos.
You may be right... but it will be a ride on the way... and hopefully I'll be able to cover as much of the rules as possible before we lose (or if we lose?!) There are bound to be some situations which don't get played out, but I do want to keep you guys, and myself, entertained along the way. Oh, and don't forget Augustus and Damon... they are still clearing out the Roadblocks in Gears of War.. the series does continue .. just keeping some variety on the channel.. Enjoy !
IMHO, Ricky Royal is the best for watching, explaining and learning a game....RICKY RULZ!!! :) (my wife isn't a gamer at all, hates games. However, she says she likes to hear Ricky talk).
I don’t like to be a pedant but it’s Duh-nitch not Dun-witch. Famous for its ghostly church bells still tolling, though long lost under the North Sea.. I really liked your play through of War of the Rings, which was very helpful in getting my head around the hugely complicated rules. So thought I would check out Arkham Horror which I have read good things about. Thanks for making these - great vids!
Thanks for doing this. I love this game! Can't wait to see how this ends. It's gonna be hard with only two investigators, but it can be done. Good luck man.
I think it is amazing that you are looking for MORE variety with this game considering with just the base set, you will have a different experience every time. I guessing you have played this game a LOT!
jeeperscreepers7 I find the sweet spot is having 4 players because during the Mythos phase with an open portal only releases one monster. You could have 5 players, but need two include two expansion sets to use the same rules as having 4 players.
Fun game, but if you can't roll 5's and 6's you just get wrecked. I've played about a half dozen games and I still haven't sniffed a victory yet. I'll feel like i'm doing okay and then you draw one of those awful Rumor cards... and the game just overruns you.

thank you for your kind words! And yes, Arkham Horror is still one of my favourites :)
Excellent walk through Ricky. Must have watched these 2 or 3 times from episodes1-17, helped my gameplay no end, cheers.
Awesome series of videos!! Just bought the game and read the rules and your videos were the perfect compliment to understanding it all!!

Your idea for the location decks is pretty damn good idea. I wish I'd thought of that.

I've seen a couple of solo games of this and I'm looking forward to your solo play especially.
Thanks for these videos... they helped me A LOT!!!

looks like another great game (finished the series), you have already made me consider buying a Mage Knight, now this :)

don’t dislike it…it’s great to get things right - I should have known better ! thank you for watching and commenting 👍👍
Just wanted to thank you for all those videos you uploaded ; )
I have never played solo with only 2 investigators. Good luck with that, Rick!

Ha ! I was a bit sneaky and pushed a couple together.... I do have a bigger table, but it was otherwise engaged..!
Introducing Arhkam "scene" was wasome with that music :D :D
thanks !
Thanks Rodney ! (Takes the pressure off you for a while...?!)
even without sleeves those stacks of cards ady consider vry high, i cant imagine after i sleeve all of them how high are they XDD
Hi, no. That is Rodney Smith, this is Ricky Royal
I am the 99%....who doesn't own a table large enough to play Arkham Horror + Dunwich as comfortably as you.
I'm curious, what's the. Music That plays at the beginning of the video? Seems very immersive and appropriate, good choice.
Mark Salter it's just from the Apple library of iMovie
My own dice.
I love thematic games
Damn you have nice hands!
GOD!! How many cards are there in this game?? This game must weigh a ton...
is this the same as watchitplayed series ? i mean produced by the same guy ?
is it good played in solo? with how many players the game gives the best? thank a lot!
jeeperscreepers7 I've only played 1 or 2 players. Solo is just great! Very immersive.
jeeperscreepers7 BUY THIS GAME!!! :) AWESOME solo, with you running 4 investigators...a must buy!

jesus christ thats a lot of bits!
Heya rick! What are your thoughts on eldritch horror now that its been out a while?
Carl Hintze I like it. AH still has favour, but I need some more time with EH before I can decide properly. Not enough time!
Do you still feel that EH is less random though? Will we see a EH playtrough soon? Just love your playtroughs :)
Carl Hintze possibly.... I've got so much on at the moment though, that it will be for a while before I get time to play again
Fun game, but if you can't roll 5's and 6's you just get wrecked.
I've played about a half dozen games and I still haven't sniffed a victory yet.
I'll feel like i'm doing okay and then you draw one of those awful Rumor cards... and the game just overruns you.
I see that Rodney is the spectator as well :)
Good luck, but with only two players I'm sure you will die horribly.
