#WatchItPlayed #BoardGames
i gotta say, this series made me want to start collecting board games. you, sir, are a master when it comes to teaching and making people laugh. thank you so much. and thanks for sharing such amazing games with us.
Very kind of you to say Nilton - so glad you've enjoyed this channel!
Well, I had this game sitting around for like four years collecting dust and decided to pull it off the shelf for some boys at my job and only insight I had was my experience with Warcraft TCG and MtG and one deck building game. I have to say for sure, I sat and watched all these and to be honest I had the concept and gameplay down by the end of the first 15 minute turn play through compared to seeing other videos that were spanning over an hour. These are extremely well done and appreciate this a lot. On a side note, is there somewhere I can go (if at all possible) to see about doing a 4 person game? I got a few boys at work who enjoy this stuff and 2 player format just isn't enough.
+Brandon Kesner (Cobra1060) Thank you for the kind words. I'm not aware of any 4 player examples online, but there might be some.
They just came out with a revised edition that is expanded up to 4 players.
This is by far the best how to play-through I've ever seen. Well done sir! Would love to see a series on gloomhaven
Thank you kindly Dan!
Guarded card, guarded card, guarded card...
+Suq Madiq Ha! My accent was really going off there I'll bet :)

Thanks for the wonderful videos. You've convinced me that this is a game I'd like to play, I really have to get out of Arkham for a while. Oh, and always keep the mistakes in; it lets us noobs see that anyone can make a mistake, it lets the old hands feel smug (they've earned it), and lets us all know you're keeping it real. FF should link to this as their recommended instructional video.
Glad you enjoyed this Robert, and I hope you have a fun time playing (and make fewer mistakes :) ).
Also wanted to say I really enjoyed the corrections content. Helped heaps and love the discussion and involvement of the viewers.
I just got the game and this great series, is exactly what I was looking for!
Thanks a lot for your hard work and time, that you put into the videos - I really enjoyed it!
btw. do you plan to make a series of the Space Hulk Card game
(Space Hulk: Death Angel - The Card Game) or another playthrough of the Lord of the Rings Card game with 2 players + a random expansion? ;-)
I don't usually go back to games I've already featured, because there are so many games I want to share and so little time. So glad you enjoyed this one though!
No plans for the Space Hulk card game yet, but I do own it, so there's always a chance.
Thanks for the kind feedback :)
I just buzzed through all 7 LOTR videos in order to understand how to play. I learned so much and I'm much more confident in playing by myself. Thanks for all the information!
Hey, so nice to know this was helpful, I hope you have a great time adventuring in Middle-Earth!
Thanks for making these videos. I just discovered this game and your videos not only helped me understand how to play but to enjoy it as well.
I’ll be sending you the bill for all the adventure packs I buy...
Cheers,
Ed
Ha! Glad to hear they were a help - have fun playing!
Just getting into LotR LCG now. I wonder if FFG released a Zombie Gondorian Spearmen card in the intervening years...
I wish they had :)
Thank you so much for this series. It made the game feel accessible and way less intimidating to start playing. Keep up the great work! :)
Very pleased you enjoyed it!
*****
Cheers! I've gotten eaten by spiders on all 3 attempts so far to cross Mirkwood. Still I'm having a blast, and damn it, I will make it across. Last time was so close! :D
Thank you Rodney, these videos really were a great help in making it easier to learn how to play. Funny too, I'll certainly be watching some of your other videos now :-)
Very pleased to have you enjoying our content! Thanks for the kind words.
This game had overwhelmed me before, but watching this video series has made it very clear, indeed! I can see now, why people love it. Rodney, you are a gaming sherpa!
+Michael Arick It's really great to hear that you found this helpful! I hope you enjoy playing :)
Ten years from now the production of this channel will be elevated to Oscar winning level if the same progress trend is maintained.
Well, you've done it. I started watching this series because I couldn't really understand what was going on in the One Stop Coop Shop playthrough videos. After finishing your series, I went out and bought it. Thanks :-)
Hey Lucas, glad to know this helped clear some things up for you - I hope you have a great time playing!
Really fantastic serie! Thx soo much!
So glad you've enjoyed it Lennart!
A very late thank you for your extremely well done walk-through. I've had this game for quite a few years, and I've had much difficulty reading the rules to figure out how to play on my own, enough trouble that I actually hadn't finished even half of a game without feeling like I had messed up so badly so I never felt like finishing. I finally decided to try and find a UA-cam video to explain the game for me, and I found YOUR VIDEO SERIES!!! And it did the trick, after watching your first few videos, I gave it another go and actually finished a game! I did lose, but now I actually feel confident enough to play it again, and hopefully have better luck than the first time. So THANKS!
You're very welcome Davis, I'm glad the video was able to help you get to enjoy the game more fully, and all the best in your future adventuring!
Just watched the whole series all these years later - thanks so much
You’re very welcome - so glad it was helpful!
Thanks a lot for the awesome “How to play LOTR LCG” videos.
Beside Star Wars, LOTR is my favorite universe. FFG made an amazing game... and thanks to your vids, it’s much easier to step into it.
Though we already got 2021... better starting the game late than never.
Never too late to start enjoying a game you enjoy :)
Played 3 games in the last 2 days. One game was lost in like 2-3 rounds. The other two eventually lost to a combination of Treachery locking my characters up and insane damage from Hummerhorns. Not sure how I feel about it. Its hard to like a hero that dies so easily.
The game can be tough!
Rodney - just discovered your chanenel, went through all your kemet game plays and now the Lotr card game. Love your style, clarity, and your family's participation. Felt like I played Lotr when watching the videos. I have now added both these games to my online wish list. I have been subscribed to Tom Vasel (dice tower) for a long time. You are now the 2nd channel I am going to keep tabs on for my gaming needs. Awesome work and great production value. Keep up the dedication and great work!
Great to have you watching and playing along with us Vikram!
Rodney I just bought this game yesterday. Was looking for a good solo player card based game and heard this was great. After bringing it home and slogging through that rule book last night though, I was worried I may have made a mistake. Did some searching today, and came across this great video series. I just binge watched the entire run. Tremendously helpful! Now I'm ready to play. Thank you so much!
+Jeff Kagel My pleasure Jeff - I hope you have a great time playing! Glad the videos were helpful.
Wow! Nice victory. To be honest, I thought you (us? well, the humam players, hahahaha) were going to lose. The game looks pretty hard and challenging.
And once again, cheers from Brazil! \o/
Yes, I was sure we were going to lose too, so this was a happy surprise :)
Awesome job Rodney! I'm pretty late getting in to this game, but your video series is still an incredibly helpful tool for familiarizing myself with the rules. As always your presentation style and addition of humor make watching these videos an enjoyable experience, and not just an informative one. Keep up the good work friend!
Thanks so much Andrew, that's really nice for you to say :)
Hey Rodney just want to say ive watched this game playthroug over 10 times and I stil enjoy it, just want to inform you that STAR WARS THE LIVING CARD GAME came out! Hope to see it played in the near future!
Just bought a new edition this game. And now I am watching 11 years old How to play video. It is still the best one available :) It is incredible to watch an older video and compare it with the new ones you make. You have improved a lot! Even though this series was made so long ago it still helping people today. Both the game and your videos are amazing for still beaing relevant after more than a decade 👍
Such a lovely thing for you to say - I do hope I've made some improvements over the years, but very glad to know these are still helpful!
Thanks Rodney!
I just picked this game off my shelf for the first time in 8 years, and watched this series to refresh my memory.
I really enjoyed it! Have you considered going back to this format every now and then?
Not in a serious way. I really enjoy creating tutorials, and those keep me pretty busy these days. Thankful to have some help creating game play videos from the other team members though!
I know I'm very late but I just saw this. Great series. I love LotR and miss the old Decipher TCG. This may help fill that void and now I have an idea of how it works. Far more clear than the tutorial FFG put online.
Michael Wages I played the Decipher version as well :)
Hey, I just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed this playthrough, and it did help me to decide that I will definitely be purchasing this game. Do you (or anyone else reading this) have any recommendations on a favorite adventure pack?
I've just starting working me way through all of the adventure packs, I think it's really going to come down to personal taste really. So far I've found they have each offered something a little different - and have proven quite challenging!
Enjoyed the play through. I got this for Christmas and finally got it to the table today after watching all of the episodes. I opted for the tactics deck as well. A tactical error in the first turn of my first game forced me to restart. The second game ended with me hitting a 50 threat and only just clearing the first card. I won the third game using the spirit deck ... but it took me 20 turns. I needed Gandalf to defeat Ungoliant's Spawn but he didn't show up until third to the last card.
Hey, just finished watching all these episodes of lotr. There fantastic, I'm disappointed I hadn't found you sooner than I did. Your fantastic and I hope everything continues well. Good luck and happy Christmas
Thanks so much Daniel. Lots of content here for you to pick through, if you like. All the games we've covered are sorted into their own playlists.
Have a wonderful Christmas!
Sat down and opened the game today and watched all the videos while playing with your deck combinations. Final score 63 so you did way better than me. I finished with the last four turns generating locations from the threat date so got stung by ever increasing quest losses giving big dial hits. All three heroes pumped up and no one to fight!
i finally bit the bullet & bought this core set
Played it for the first time this afternoon using the same tactics deck & died horribly
Didn't get of the first quest card, although came near & then Ungoliant Spawn reared her ugly head along when I had a threat level in 40s. Watched your video again while I was playing & really enjoyed it. Many thanks again (again) Rodney.
Rodney that was a great play though, showing how the game is played when you were playing & very entertaining. I like your style. I was very tempted to buy this game before but I think you've tipped me over to the shadow into actually making a final decision. I agree with other comments in that you did have me on tenderhooks in places.
Wow! Three hours to do each episode - thanks for all that effort.
Well I now know one place where I was going wrong - when places to travel too came up I wasn’t always travelling to them, because I wanted to get progress tokens on the quest, but I can see now that was a mistake - I need to get them out of the staging area and hope I’ll get through them and back to the quest.
Thank you thank you thank you. I have just bought the game and was struggling with the mechanics of when to play certain cards. I played along with your video. The mistakes you made would have been mistakes I would have made as well. I feel a lot more confident and am starting to see the fun in the game without being overwhelmed by the rules. Thanks again
My pleasure Simba, glad to be able to help - hope you have fun playing!
nice series man!! :) iwant to ask you something...is it worty it to buy LOTR for solo playing ? and it will take time to finish it?
Hey PoMat, sorry I can't help with that particular kind of question. I avoid reviewing or giving suggestions on games. I really don't feel qualified to say what someone else would enjoy. My hope is that there is enough information here to help you decide based on your own particular likes and dislikes. Cheers!
Fantastic videos! I have watched all of them! Very happy you have made them really! It would probably took me few days to get used to to rules and game mechanics if it would not be for your tutorials! Thank you very much good sir!
Very glad you enjoyed them and found them helpful Draco!
Always wondered about the work it took to put these videos out. 3 hours a pop for the big ones, and 1 for even just the 15 minute jobs.
The quality shows, however. Every bit of that effort is obvious.
Hearing you say this reminds me of how things have changed since I was shooting these videos... the amount of time it takes has significantly lengthened :) I wouldn't change a thing though, it's very rewarding effort.
i wish that you can play Space Hulk someday , its a great card game and I missed your kids , they gotta be back on the next games or Ill get Gandalf to turn you into something not human lol....great job again!!!!
Thank you for this series, it really helped me learn the game! I've read through the rules etc but I'm more of a visual and kinetic learned so this was perfect. I know it's a ten year old series but it's still relevant!!!
So nice of you to say - very glad it was helpful. Have a great time playing!
Phew made it all the way through to the final episode lol, now i think i can play a game , sort of lol.
Many thanks for this series, was really really helpful.
Do you think you will ever do one for Eldrich Horror?
TheFewzz A pleasure to help! I would like to do one for Eldritch Horror, but it's not on the schedule just yet.
Hey Rodney, just want to say your videos were great and were so helpful in learning the game. Will definitely be subscribing 👍🏻
That's really nice to hear Nathan - thanks for joining our community. I hope you find some other games here that you like!
Hi Rodney, can I ask your opinion on Arkham Horror Card Game from FF. I know you're a fan of the mythos/theme from your MoM (1&2) vids so I'm presuming a gamer if your undeniable stature and renown has undoubtably snared a copy already 😊 (Or not) I know the intention of your channel is not to review or critique games but if you've played Arkham already how would you compare it to LotR. I love Lord of the Rings setting etc but I think I'm after something less geared towards the gamey style deck building formula and something more of a roleplaying or narrative telling feel to it. Also are you planning on featuring Arkham Cards later? Again thanks for all your amazing vids. With so many great looking games out there and with limited resources I've personally found that your approach to helping the discerning gamer to be the most valuable. Problem being that thank God we're all rather different and so even the most honest and unbiased review can be terribly misleading. Your vids really show what the game plays like and whether it will appeal. I can say in truth that all the games I've bought after seeing them feature on your channel were purchased without any feeling of risk and were never a wasted purchase . So on that score a sincere thank you and a jolly Good job Sir 😊
Hello Warring Panda :) Thanks for the kind words about the channel. Really nice to know that you've found the videos help give you a good sense of the games you'd like (and not like) to play!
I have played the Arkham Card Game, but only once, and it was during a flurry of games I was learning, so my experience with it has been VERY brief and rushed at this point. That said, even commenting on which game is more narrative, or less gamey style deck building fall more into an opinion than I'd be comfortable with. I'd have a hard time evaluating that for someone else. Sorry I can't be of more help there.
I don't have any plans to feature the Arkham card game at this point, but that's not because I liked or didn't like the game (just have a full schedule right now :) )
Rodney thank you for your thoughtful response 😊 I understand your position especially if you've only played it once.
If there's no plans for it to be scheduled I'll just have to keep an eye out for other goodies featured on your channel. Hope you don't get too many pesky questions from warmongering mammals 😉
Keep up the good work -John
Great series Rodney. Just got this game for Christmas (first card game) and was pretty confused with some of it until I watched this series. It got me enthused for the game again. Can't wait to give it a go tonight.
I hope you enjoy your next attempt Jason! Great to hear the videos might have been helpful :)
I've just watched the whole series again just to check I'm not making mistakes and also to get a repeat of Rodney at his most whimsical. Fantastic tutorial and an amazing game. Both are highly recommended.
Brian Parker Thanks so much Brian :)
any recomendations for first expansions to this game :P not for more quests.... for more options so i actually feel like i built a deck not just jammed a bunch of core set cards together.
+Grimmlocked I wouldn't be a good one to ask this. I have a bunch of them, and they are all mixed into my decks now.
I'm excited to play this game. I wanted to get it because I love LotR and the art was fantastic, after watching these videos I'm really stoked for the tactical aspect too.
+Daniel Miller Thanks for checking out the videos, hope you enjoy playing!
Hey Rodney,
Big fan of your series. Just got into this game, and these videos were a big help to get us going :)
Cheers buddy
So great to hear Ian! Hope you have a great time with the game!
Thanks!!!!
I get how 'guarded' works now. :)
And hopefully will try a quest later this evening.
thanks for this! it was still useful for me, 9 years later. not able to play multiplayer games right now, i've tried to get into solos. this series really helped me to pick this one to get into
I really enjoy this one solo too! Often I'll play as 2 players - have fun!
Super tutorials and much appreciated. Not only do i have a better understanding of the game i see many potential outcomes.Thank you.
Not a bed videos. I really learn playing the game pretty easy. Just have two questions, to make clear for myself the principals of the gameplay and to distinct LOTR LCG from other card games (e.g. MTG). First, Can we attached two "citadels plate" to one hero, to have +8 hit points (yes, it is restricted, but to say there are no other restricted attachments on that hero)? And second question - When Dunhere use his special skill (I presume it is able only in attacking phase), is the enemy still in the staging area after the attack resolves and it's not killed? Thank you!
+Stoyan Taskonidis Because the Citadel Plate is not marked as "Unique", you can attach two of them to the same character. As long as those are the only 2 Restricted items on that character. Dunhere can target them with an Attack, but he does not "engage" them, so they stay in the staging area. Hope that helps!
Just as I thought, but to be sure! Thank You. BTW, I've just watched another similar videos, and they made some terrible mistakes as well (and of course already marked during the video). So as long as it's edited and commented that it's a mistake it's fine, because it helps you to be alerted. Not a bed game, but I think I have to by some extensions to build a good deck and have a full experience of the gameplay.
Thanks for the series. Just watched the whole thing this morning ... and now I'm off to my local store for a copy of the game!
I'd seen it several times in store, but due to the price and theme, didn't think it'd be worth buying as I don't have anyone interested in complex card games to play with regularly. However, your playthrough has shown me that it actually plays perfectly well in single player and I'm sold!
Something you didn't mention is the similarities to Magic: The Gathering ... Do you plan to cover Magic at all? I know it's a big one to get into, but Luke is the perfect age to teach ... And that might just be excuse enough to justify the game's cost to the missus! 😉
Thanks again. Love the channel.
Very glad you enjoyed the video Adam! I hope you have fun exploring the game. As for Magic, I played the game when it first came out many years ago. Loved it. But the CCG model, at that price, was a little bad for my personality type, so I tend to lean more towards the LCG model like this and other games. I do play Magic casually, but there are so many videos about that game, I'm not sure I have something new to say :)
***** You should totally play Sean Plott on SpellSlingers through Geek and Sundry for a casual Magic game! It'd be a hoot!
Thanks for this video series. I just discovered you with the Arcadia Quest playthroughs, but am now making my way through the backlog. I am now regretting giving my copy of LotR LCG to my brother... Maybe I can borrow it back for a little bit...
Hey, glad you enjoy the show and are checking some of our previous videos! And hey, LoTR is co-operative maybe you guys can play together!
I tend to find it hard to schedule a time to play with him, but I'm sure that my son would be up for a game. Keep up the good work!
Extremely helpful series! I'm kind of new to these kind of games and these videos really made it less intimidating!
That's really nice to hear Daniel - great to have you here (and welcome to the hobby!)
Great videos. I've always exclusively played competitive games, but watching these videos made me go out last night and buy a copy of the core set. (I played the Decipher version of LOTR back in the day as well!) It looks like a great option for solo play and I'm excited to jump in!
+David Hausknecht I played the old Decipher version too :) Hope you have playing this newer game in the setting of LOTR!
I loved the Decipher game. I still pull it out from time to tine.
@WatchItPlayed I almost got Small World the other day so I can't wait to see what you guys do with that series.
I right there with the previous comment, I got this game for my birthday and have been struggling trying to learn it by reading the rule book. Your videos have helped tremendously! After watching all of them I feel I have a significant amount of knowledge to be able to play on my own. I really appreciate the effort and time you put into these videos. Also, your mistakes you make help me a ton too because I found myself making the same mistakes and it definetly points them out for me to correct next time... so thank you for making those mistakes too! haha
That's really awesome to hear - so glad you found the videos helpful!
*****
Also, I couldn't help but think you sound like Weird Al Yankovic at times... I don't know if anyone ever told you that, but it's not a bad thing! I'm a huge Weird Al fan. Just gave me a chuckle.
Hi Rodney! These videos have been very helpful and I am planning on buying this game now. I just had one quick question, how different is it to play cooperatively instead of solo?
Hey Boba, it just means you might have a little more to manage (if you want to control 2 heroes at once, for example).
Ok, thanks! Your videos are always helpful and it's nice to see that you regularly reply to comments and questions. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for all the videos. Now I can play this game and know what I’m doing!
I hope you have a great time with it!
You record lots more you say... That can mean only one thing!
Blooper real!!! 8o)
-The Rog
I'm late to the party (Unexpected Party? haha!), just discovered this game and found your videos. Thank you so very much! You have made my life so much easier! Okay, I'm a bit dramatic. But seriously, great series of videos. I'm really enjoying this game largely due to your video series! Game on!
So nice to know you found the series helpful, and glad to hear you're enjoying the game!
Thanks for this series, it really rekindled the flame for card games in my heart, I used to play Magic ALL THE TIME but now it's so hard to find someone who wants to play (and at a time that suits other people, having a young kid really restricts time!) and this whole idea of a single player card game seemed amazing. You were very clear on the rules and made it easy to understand. I am definitely going to give this one a try. You have totally earned another subscriber, thanks!
P.S do any of the other Fantasy Flight Games LCG games have a single player mode, because their settings seem pretty cool.
So glad you enjoyed this :) None of the other FFG LCGs have a solo mode that I'm aware of.
Actually this was the first series I've watched, it was pointed me out from a friend of mine who wanted me to learn the game rules (and you sir did an excellent job explaining that). I've ended watching the whole thing in December 2013, I think, and after that I made the decision to run through all WIP archive.
Just thought that expecially this video deserved a comment, and I wanted to make some reccommendations to future viewers:
to everyone that has enjoyed watching this video and that loves learning boardgames (explained by the most polite and nice person I've stumbled so far on the internet), I suggest you to go back to the beginning of WIP story (back to this video: Let's Play Mansions Of Madness - Video 1) and enjoy a full view of all the series Mr. Smith has filmed so far. It's a long trip - for sure - but maybe it could be the funniest way of learning you'll ever experience.
So sorry I missed this comment when you initially made it - really nice of you to say Pierfrancesco - thanks for being here all this time!
Just Wanted to know will you, or Do you think you will be making a video as good as this! for A Game of Thrones LCG???
I do have the game, but haven't played it yet - so not sure at this time.
Come on man play it!
I have played this game so many times and most of the times I can't even get past the first part of the first series of quests... I have not even tried venturing the other two series of quests that came with the base game... I am interested in finding out what cards are in the expansion packs though and how to create a multi-sphere of influence deck. Thanks for the videos, they were encouraging.
Hope you eventually beat it!
@@WatchItPlayed Nope just sold the entir collection of cards.
Great series. Thanks for helping me get a handle on Lord of the Rings Card Game.
My pleasure David, glad you enjoyed it!
Just finished watching this series while my wife sat across from me calling me a geek, but I shall win her over and make her play 2-player.
I know this is an old video but have you ever thought of doing a quick overview of playing a 2-player round? Maybe just 1 quick turn to demo the differences.
***** Its not a bad idea, but I don't know where I would fit that into my schedule currently (and yes, keep working on winning your wife over :) )
***** Would you be able to suggest any good tutorials on a 2-player round? Nothing crazy long, I learned all the core concepts from your videos pretty well.
***** Hmm... can't think of any right off who have done this.
I've been subscribed to your channel for a couple of weeks to get to know about more and more about board games - arriving now. Today I came across the LoTR series and I just couldn't stop watching! Your videos are so well made and funny that makes me feel like in playing with you! Thanks for the awesome work!
That's so wonderful to hear Gabriel. Welcome to the channel and thanks for being a part of our community here!
Because of your play through with LOTR:LCG I purchased the core set 2 months ago. I just sat down and played the Lore core set and Passage through Mirkwood. Well, I know I made mistakes but I survived with a threat level of 49. It was probably higher, but who's counting? Anyway, thanks for making this season as well as your whole series in general. I know this particular "WIP" was crucial in my trying to understand how to play. I will have to play the Lore set again to make sure I did it right.
So glad to know this series was helpful, and glad to hear you've had fun adventuring :)
Thanks for your video. I just bought the game today and it made the first play through a lot less aggravating. Still lost though. Stupid spiders.
The spiders are the worst!
Im now digging thru your old stuff. I picked up this game last year from another gamer with 3 base sets and a bunch of adventures for a song. The game looked a little over the top so i put it away. I just watched all these videos and I will take a crack at it this weekend. As always Brother, well done.
Thanks Scott, when I first got the game, it intimidate me as well. Part of the motivation I had for making the series :)
I would also like to thank you for this sequence, Rodney. I have bought this game off the back of this and have already picked up the Hobbit: Under Hill and Over Hill expansion to follow through the classic saga. It's a fresh supplement route as an alternative to the small box sets.
Hope you enjoyed all the adventuring!
I had purchased Lord of the Rings at Dragon Con. After going over the rules a couple of times, my wife and I felt a little turned off. Your videos cleared up a lot of the questions that we were having. Thank you for the incredibly detailed and entertaining videos. Keep it up!
So glad the series was helpful!
Thank you for this series, very helpful. An opportunity arose to acquire this game cheap but just because it has lotr doesn't make it good. Watched the first couple to get an idea and ended up watching them all. Looking forward to playing this game and watching the rest of your videos.
Did you get a chance to play the game?
Rodney these videos are gold. Top quality. And after having watched this I am definitely buying the game. It is exactly what I once wished MTG was. Perfectly enjoyable, new content coming out, coop, and not burning a hole in your wallet. Stay cool.
Did you end up trying it out?
Cool game! Thank you. Going to get this for the kids and have some fun
Have a great time playing!
After watching your vids I'm so excited to go and play the game... thanks for the great game play.
You're very welcome Paul - I hope you have a really great time playing!
Watch It Played I will thanks, I would also just like to say that your tut, is the best LOTR LCG tut out there. 👍🏻 to you.
Thank you so much for the great videos. You helped me to learn this game.
I'm really glad I could help!
These were amazing! Inspired me to pull this off the shelf and give it a shot, and I'm glad I did! Just curious if there were any thoughts on doing the Arkham Horror Card game at some point?
I'm glad I helped you get back into the game! As for the Arkham Horror Card Game, I don't generally announce the games I plan to feature on the channel ahead of time, but I do appreciate the interest!
Completely understand. After going through way too many of your videos in a small span of time, you're totally the best tutorial/learn to play channel I've found. You describe everything very well and own up to mistakes. Thanks for the reply!
You're very welcome!
Very much enjoyed this series, would be cool if you can do another quest
Really useful and well presented videos. Thanks very much
Very kind of you to say - glad you liked them!
I really enjoy your videos! Keep up the good work. Seeing how the game actually plays really differentiates your series from other BGG reviewers.
Thanks bveld!
Thank you for this brilliant walkthrough. I recently bought the game last week with some birthday cash, these videos have helped out lots!
Hey Luke, great to hear. Hope you have fun!
Great Series. What about doing one for Call of Cthulhu LCG.
I've never tried that one, so no plans to currently.
Fantastic videos! Thank you for influencing me to purchase this amazing game =] Keep up the great work!
Hello from Sweden!
Been watching some of your videos and wanted to say thanks for taking your time to make them.
Really appreciate it. They are very informative, well made and helpfull.
Started with the "Mansion of madness" vids and had to buy the game right after i saw them. Have played only one game atm, played as the keeped and unfortunately i lost.. had a blast tho.
Also gotta say i love the way you pronounce the words "Card, guard and discard". I allways giggle alittle when you say them.
Great series! Thanks for showing an entire playthrough with explanation. Was very informative and helpful!
That's very nice feedback, thank you.
Had interest for this game for a long time, came across your playlist and finished it in a single evening, and ordered the game instantly! Thanks for this wonderful series.
Very nice of you to say Joost. I hope you have a great time with the game!
This 10yr old series was very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks for dropping the nice comment :)
Thank you so much for the great video tutorials playthrough for the lotr lcg, I've actually ordered this game and will arriving this week, your videos have given me great insight into the game itself and showing me exactly how it looks as played and also given me some good starting knowledge so before I even play the game I have a good idea of how to play and what the cards do. So thanks you, keep up the great work :)
Thanks for another great series! Helped me understand the rules faster and got me interested in the game. Bought it a couple of weeks ago and finally beat the 2nd quest today with just a core set deck. I'm going to attempt Dol Guldur with a 2-hand-deck next. Wish me luck! These Orcs do luck hungry :/
Like I have mentioned in my comment to S9E15 I have gotten myself the core set of this game. After playing it myself I must congratulate you on winning the game with what is the hardest deck to play with in this scenario ;) Even with Legolas ability it's hard to get the quests done in this scenario. And apart from offensive power tactics deck strugles with everything, from defense to resources. For anyone else picking this one up: leave the tactics deck for last or pick up some expansions.
Good advice - I got a rare win with that core box deck!
I did get some expansions since the game just came out in reprint, heros packs like Elves and Dwarves. I like to create a deck, wish he had done one hero with a different SOI since most videos play with just one. A number of other questions would come up too. Assuming all attachments can only be used by heros with same marking once they are paid for. not sure
Such an enjoyable series. Thanks Rod for putting these together
Very glad you enjoyed this Panda!
Just sat and watched all the vidoes for this. Epic, simply epic. Thanks a lot, makes playing it much more simpler and enjoyable as we know what we're doing.
Thanks so much for the tutorials and walk through of this game. I currently play Star Wars:LCG and like that this can be played solo. You have inspired me to see if my local game store stocks it. Thanks again.
Enjoyed this series a lot, certainly solidified my desire to pick it up. Would definitely enjoy seeing you attempt another quest, perhaps with a different hero deck.
Great job Man! Still going strong after 10 years!
Thanks Kevin :)
I really liked this series. I know you want to do different kinds of games, and include your kids, etc., but I would love to see more single-player playthroughs whenever you have the time and inspiration.
