@@OneStopCoopShop That's soo cool they have a guide this looks so interesting. Not even a month into the year and you're already making* me buy a second game you've playedhaha
Awesome narrative game. I pre-ordered in late summer for a release date of November 30th but they delayed it for December 17th so I hope they stick to this date and I receive my copy around the Holidays. Great playthrough as always. These 47 minutes flew by super fast.
A vertical line between 2 rewards means "AND"? That's just confusing, as virtually every other game uses that to denote the options of a choice, ie. It would mean "OR" in most other games. 8:27. Very strange choice, have they ever played other peoples games? Thanks for the playthrough, Mike. I've been waiting for a Camelot themed co-op, apart from Tainted Grail (too big and expensive and requires too much time and grind) I can't think of any!!!
@@OneStopCoopShop I can get with that, but the problem is after you pick it up and start playing with no rules refresher, thinking "We've GOT this"... Will we all remember this tiny thing? No biggie, though, a post-it note on the inside of the lid should do it.
This is pretty great. Very different mood to Arabian Nights. How do you feel the replay is by comparison? The skill system seems different enough that I'm not sure how I feel, fewer skills but a dice roll between you and good results vs. just lucking out with having skills that match plus sensible decisions comes off a bit different. Wouldn't mind a resource to spend to boost skill rolls, maybe, would be a bit of a downer to get a basically impossible roll requirement
@@OneStopCoopShop It feels like there's a bit less branching due to skills not really dictating bonus choices, it seems? I do remember in AN often running into the same things over and over. I do like that the ages advance, although it does seem rather quick... Like I can imagine you can dwell in an age as long as you like but it winds up costing you the longer you do, like a press your luck element if you've fallen behind due to bad rolls
@@nutherefurlong Sure, Arabian might have a bit more branching, but I found the narrative events in that one so random and disconnected that it still doesn't work as well for me. As for the ages, sure, you could stick around in them longer with houserules, I don't think it would break anything besides making it easier to "win", but winning shouldn't really be the point in these games anyway :)
@@OneStopCoopShop The randomness in AN is on theme. AN is about a woman making up wild stories every night so she isn't executed by a king. So the random and disconnections could just be seen as her fatigue in telling all the stories and trying to keep the king on his toes so as to gain his favor of her life for yet another night.
Setup time is super quick, a minute or two if you have the skill tokens organized by player. And 2-player might be the best way to play, since you will always be either having an adventure or reading to another player
I ordered this months ago intending it to be my main Christmas present but cancelled it as it became obvious it wasn't going to arrive on time. Used the money to buy tidal blades 2 instead

Love the classic Tales of the Arabian Nights. This looks even better!
Great play through! Around 27:00 when pronouncing the name Siofra, the pronunciation for it is she-fra as I believe it’s an old Irish name.
Thanks for that! I figured I had it wrong. They have a pronunciation guide, but I didn’t have time to go back and forth checking while I recorded

@SirGoldeneyes sorry!!
Thanks for the awesome playthrough, Michael! One important note: whenever you complete your last Quest, you immediately draw a new Quest.
Woah, totally missed that! I’ll add a note to the video later
Can’t wait for a video about the new Dungeon Alliance expansion: Paragons!
Yes, we’re planning to set up a play through of the new content!
Thanks for the video! I probably won't play this solo, but this is absolutely going to be a hit with my RPG group. 😄
Yeah, it’s fun solo, but more fun with others to witness the stories
Perfect was literally looking into this one. Also it was great seeing you and demoing hungry monkey for you at Pax!
That was a ton of fun!
It warmed my heart that you knew how to correctly pronounce ‘Taliesin’. 🏴
I regret to say that particular name pronunciation was just good luck! :)

I hope you indeed get to play it soon. Great way to spend some holiday time :)
Good times, great radio, thanks.
6 on Romance? Mike is a love god!
Me and the fairies get along really well 😜

It is a bit odd, but you get used to it quickly and it saves space for more words and fewer pages I guess :)

I prefer this one by a decent margin, and the replay is strong in that I still haven’t seen repeated encounters

That’s a fun take on it!
Thanks for the video! Can you share what was the setup time? I'm wondering if this would be a good 2 player game.

Can’t go wrong with that one!
@OneStopCoopShop well it was your playthrough and review that made me decide to get it. Plus got it for a great price
