I bought Mage Knight Ultimate and just opening the box was overwhelming. The rule books [PLURAL!!] weren't much help. This video is EXACTLY what I needed. Well done. Thank you for this!
This is by far the best H.T.P. series for Mage Knight. Informative but entertaining with a professional presentation. Dude is mad talented. Have not played in years and this is a perfect refresher. Bravo sir!
After watching many channels in order to find a good Mage Knight training, I finally found it here ! You, who are looking after a well structured, comprehensive, didactic and pleasant to watch mage knight training don’t go else where, you are on the spot ! Congrats for those 3 perfect videos !
I've been interested in Mage Knight for a while now, and since it was back in stock and on sale, I pulled the trigger. I've heard that the rules were pretty overwhelming so a really appreciate you putting together this How To Play guide. It is evident that you spent a lot of time on this video and I imagine it will help all new Mage Knights out there that want to get into this game.
I'm embarrassed to write that my deluxe copy of Mage Knight has sat on my shelf of shame for YEARS. I just haven't managed to get my game group to commit. So I've decided not to wait any longer and am going to adventure SOLO. Thank goodness for you. Clear instructions. Great ep 1 - my table is completely covered in Mage Knight goodness, with Tovak - and my faithful dummy Goldyx. On to episode 2...
I just recently picked up Mage Knight and starting to dive into the walkthrough. Your videos are helping to plug all the gaps. Thank you for posting them! I look forward to the rest!
Wow! I have been trying to understand this game for a while. Your demonstration / explaination within the first 3 minutes did more for my understanding of the game than any other mage night video I have seen. I cannot wait to see what else you produce! Superior work! Well done! Well done!
@@ModernTablegamer no, thank you for your hard work on this video series! I thought you looked familiar. Years ago when I got started in gaming I watched your Race for the Galaxy video!
Just got my copy of Mage Knight recently and your videos on it have been very helpful! It has made the experience much more enjoyable and not as overwhelming as when I was trying to learn by myself. Thank you and I hope you continue making great content like this!
Thank you so much for your Mage Knight videos. I've had my 'Ultimate Edition' for a long time and it looked so intimidating that I've never introduced it to my gaming friend. I just thought that I was struggling with the rules because of my 'senior' age...(67)...lol. You are VERY clear and such a professionally put together teach that it has given me hope to learn, and teach this masterpiece of a game. It is mainly the combat with all its iconography that makes me nervous of teaching it. Thank you very much. Sorry that I have only just seen your video, yet it is 2 years old. Still, better to have seen it late than never see it at all. Take care and thank you.
I've watched soooo many "how to play" videos for so many games...you're Channel (+Channel "Watch it played") are by far the best out there! Thank you so much! This is really appreciated! Best wishes from Berlin!
Wow! Thank you so much Malith.C. K. for the kind words and by the way, I love Berlin! I had the chance to visit a couple years ago and would love to go back!
@@ModernTablegamer Let me know if you should visit Berlin again (hopefully this whole virus thing should be over by next year!)! Would love to play some boardgames with a pro player!^^ Cheers!
Marvelous job. Excellent speaking volume, and such a pleasant demeanor that it's impossible not to feel "I'd totally have this dude in my gaming group" Thank you for this. I just got into gaming last month and picked this up. It's a lot to digest.
Thanks for the honorary invitation to your gaming group and the kind words ;). I'm so glad to hear you recently got into gaming. It really changed my life when I did and I love every minute of it! Thanks again and I'm honored!
Hoo boy. I'm now set up for my first play thanks to your very clear and thorough set up. I'm gonna try the 'First Reconnaissance' without a dummy player to keep things as simple as possible. On to the next video, wish me luck!🙂
I just cracked open the game and am completely dumb-founded by the "game walkthrough," which I didn't find to be much of a walkthrough at all but rather an explanation of all the things a player can do during a turn. So my next thought was to search for a how-to-play video on UA-cam. I should have done my research first, because if I had known this game was going to require an hour and a half video tutorial, I never would have bought it. This just isn't for me, but I left a like because I appreciate your extensive effort in teaching the game.
@@ModernTablegamer No problem! I also bought Gloomhaven: Jaws of the Lion and have greatly enjoyed the introductory scenarios. I think I was looking for something more akin to a dungeon crawl. And something lighter-weight.
This is a really good how to play video, clear and as simple as possible thx a ton for this helped me a lot to get started😇 also this is one amazing game once you get into it🙃
WOW!!! All three of these "How To Play" videos were definitely up my alley on how to play Mage Knight - don't have it yet, just doing a pre-learning. Strongly suggest to anyone wanting to learn how Mage Knight is played (they are "How To" and not "Playthroughs" though) to watch these three "How To Play" videos. Very impressed by your videoing (great light source, very calm and collective - reading teleprompter, couldn't tell - love the sweeping zoom-in of the camera), yet editing could be a bit better (chop scenes, frozen screen at the end of #2, bubble talk?, ...) Looking forward to your other videos - maybe some hints/ideas for my channel. Cheers
Thanks for the kind words on this one! Also thank you for the feedback as well. The frozen screen at the end of #2 was a glitch that happened during upload issue I didn't catch until it was too late. The YT algorithm had already picked this one up in a good way and I didn't want to pull it and ruin that momentum, so I left it as is. Thanks again and hope you keep up the good work with your content!
Wow, excellent video! You have a great voice, and your clear explanations are top notch. You have some of the best game explanation videos out there. Thanks!
It looks like subsequent videos are up, but are not linked within the video as mentioned throughout. (Hoping you'll see this, Modern Cardboard.) :) Thanks for this video, and I look forward to watching the rest of the videos in this series!
Thanks Francois! I wish I could leave a table dedicated to this game in my house. If it was set up all the time, I would probably play it more than I do now.
Great refresher video for me, as Mage Knight is my favorite game, but I haven't played in a while due to various issues. The rest of the series is greet, too!
I remember loving your root videos. I got the game but I cant play it that often cause I have no friends and my family doesn't have that much time. But this game looks as good as root and can be solo
As for Pax Pamir (which I ended up hating), this video is really well done. I sold Mage Knight a year ago because it was just too much for me, but now after watching your first video tutorial I'm tempted again ... :o
Thanks Benjamin! Sorry to tempt you with this one :) I hope you decide to pick this one up again. I really love playing it solo. Since this game has been around for long, there are lots of used copies floating around. so maybe a few opportunities you'll run into to get it for a good deal.
Whoa these videos are great! I bought a used copy of Mage Knight Ultimate and still haven’t brought it to the table. Will watch all these videos for sure.
your voice is so calming. You might be such a cool guy. nice video. I'm on the fence on buying this game as I have very little time to play. still watching this series though.
WOW - the MOST HELPFUL VIDEO OF ANY GAME I've seen. -- Maybe the most helpful video on UA-cam I've watch. Thanks. Now, I need you to do one more video: Gloomhaven, Frosthaven (when it comes out), Nemesis, Nemesis Lockdown (when it's releases), Cthulhu Death May Rise, The Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-earth (cause this one we lose at every time). OK - this is obviously not one game but you seriously have explained Mage Knight so clearly I would like to have this on the others. EDIT - I just emailed a few companies to have them have you do videos for them. If Fantasy Flight games hired you, then Lord of the Rings: Journeys in Middle-Earth might actually make sense and be fun. Good luck. OK - hope I didn't overstep but I asked Fantasy Flight, Nemesis and Cthulhu Death May Die creators to contact you also. Your videos would save SO much time.
Wow! @ Mark Jensen. Thanks so much for your feedback and I love your suggestions for next games to cover. Seriously! All I can say is WOW! Also thanks so much for reaching out like you did. I love those publishers / and love the games. I hope I continue to cover games you want to see!
Subscribed. Have this game ever since it came out however, you guessed it,it has not been played yet ! I bought it because as a solo player I was told it is "the best ever game for solo players,too". I have well over 400 board games and over 100 puzzle games (Smart Games, Think Fun etc) so I didn't really worried to add it for "later on"...how sad is that ! Finally,I shall make notes and eventually get to understand the somewhat convoluted rules;let's face it : Those rules are not exacting welcoming 🤔 Thank you in advance. Regards from the UK.
Thank you for making these videos, you helped us learn how to play mage knight over the course of a weekend. We are wondering if you might do a video or two for the Lost Legion expansion at some point?
I finally decided to buy Mage Knight and getting the Ultimate Ed box. It's my birthday, so im getting a "big fancy" game. Lol i just lucked out and found some guy was selling his on BGG for such a great deal. Ive almost bought the original set over the last few years several times and then i keep dithering about what exactly to spend a big chunk of money on, but i finally decided to invest in Mage Knight and getting all the expansions all at once, as i have compared and studied so many games that are basically variations on same theme, but i think this looks like the most interesting. Buying all the different expansions and base was going to cost a fortune, so it was so great to find Ultimate for sale at reasonable price.
Hello mr. Pete Such a lovely and wonderful video very easy to Digest and you made the game Less intimidating, If you allow me I have a small things to Add. When placing the advance action cards and the spell cards in the Offer It needs to be placed from the bottom to the top of the decks .
Just finished the whole series... It rocked. Still struggling with the Art style (Dated) but it's in my basket, and i'm hovering over that buy button! Thanks for such a great tutorial. Also, have you stopped making videos? Seems your last upload was a couple of years back.
resting is different from healing. Rest = disard a non-wound card and then discard any number of wound in your discard pile, so those wound stay in your deck for the next round, but a heal will remove the wound and return to the wound pile
Thanks for coming up with this video series. I'm using it to teach myself how to play. Can you add timestamps so we can jump to a specific section in case we need a clarification in regard to a specific topic?
Thanks Oren! Time stamps are actually part of the intro in the video. Right after the short intro in the video, there is about 7 seconds where I show the time stamps.. I started putting these in for the Mage Knight series and will continue with this for future videos. Thanks again!
@@ModernTablegamer thx a lot for your hard work. I noticed that it is mentioned in the beginning of the video. Will you also be able to add an option to skip directly to a specific topic, similar to this "How To" guide here ua-cam.com/video/DOtTZfALlGI/v-deo.html
hi im watching your video to decide if i want to buy for the solo experience. two points im not sure if im convinced about. dummy player, prefer games that play exactly the same in solo as in the multiplayer (ie spirit island, Lotr). also you said the solo is about beating your personal record, but surely there is an another objective? beat the enemy which is considering the complexity i would have thought it is not always going to happen?in spirit island i focus on beating the invaders not so much about my personal best which apparently there is a way to work out. thanks for any comments
Just bought mines on black Friday! Your videos are a great help! In the first scenario (the tutorial basically) do you remove the first card in the advance deck during setup?
Hi Negoita, some were from Final Cut that I had for some time or maybe purchased an add on years ago for it and some others I found on Textures4photoshop as mentioned in the end screen
As someone who loves solo board games, I never understood why this game is #1 in solo board gaming (Board game geek). Mind you people on board game geek are hardcore and maybe I'm not. I've tried to tackle this game multiple times. Every time I do, I need to look up the set up rules. Then when actually playing I have to do the same constantly. Then I sit there and realize this game is not fun. Points should be awarded for performing actions and or setting it up without looking in the manual. If you play it often then I assume you look less and less at the manual. But if you pull it off the shelf a few times a year it becomes a chore. This game might be intricate and oozing with decision making but I've played solo games that are a lot more satisfying and fun with less mess. Great video BTW.
Can you tell me what cards must be separated / sorted? All have the same backside.. I don't get what are basic actions, advanced actions, artifacts and whatever. In the manual, there is only one small picture of a card with a chalice... not very helpful at all.
If I will see all the videos for this how to play, will I be able to play Mage Knight Ultimate with all its expansions, or just the base game? Are there extra rules for its expansions?
I’m a noob with these, is there a box or container for this? I mean, setup looks rough and setting up again seems like a pain (i may be wrong). Maybe a box where cards can be put by group?
There are some insert solutions for Mage Knight you may want to look into. Game Nerdz makes a pretty affordable one (as compared to the price of others) www.gamenerdz.com/box-insert-mage-knight-expansions?gclid=Cj0KCQiAtqL-BRC0ARIsAF4K3WFs4jd3jLTC_NiDWJkqFOnfd6Nfr_Q9DU9vlmkwsOqu_pUl8jzZFyEaAtXlEALw_wcB

Just finished the whole series... It rocked. Still struggling with the Art style (Dated) but it's in my basket, and i'm hovering over that buy button! Thanks for such a great tutorial. Also, have you stopped making videos? Seems your last upload was a couple of years back.
Great job.
Thanks so much Paul! You provide such great content. Means a lot!
Thank you so much! So helpful!
So glad! Thanks Austriaal!
resting is different from healing. Rest = disard a non-wound card and then discard any number of wound in your discard pile, so those wound stay in your deck for the next round, but a heal will remove the wound and return to the wound pile
Great video.
Just a tiny correction, when setting the dummy player one should also take its skill tokens.
Thanks so much for the comment and for pointing this out. I'll most likely make a mention of it in my next update video.
YOU ARE AWESOME! ❤❤❤
Best MK videos
Great Game Great Video !!
Thank you!
Thank you for the tutorial it's extremely helpful.
GREAT JOB !
This is fantastic thank you
Great video
Thanks for the videos! Are more coming after the third one? Like maybe for the expansions?
This video was fucking epic! SUPER well done!!
Thank you!
Thanks for coming up with this video series. I'm using it to teach myself how to play. Can you add timestamps so we can jump to a specific section in case we need a clarification in regard to a specific topic?
Thanks Oren! Time stamps are actually part of the intro in the video. Right after the short intro in the video, there is about 7 seconds where I show the time stamps.. I started putting these in for the Mage Knight series and will continue with this for future videos. Thanks again!
@@ModernTablegamer thx a lot for your hard work. I noticed that it is mentioned in the beginning of the video. Will you also be able to add an option to skip directly to a specific topic, similar to this "How To" guide here ua-cam.com/video/DOtTZfALlGI/v-deo.html

hi im watching your video to decide if i want to buy for the solo experience. two points im not sure if im convinced about. dummy player, prefer games that play exactly the same in solo as in the multiplayer (ie spirit island, Lotr). also you said the solo is about beating your personal record, but surely there is an another objective? beat the enemy which is considering the complexity i would have thought it is not always going to happen?in spirit island i focus on beating the invaders not so much about my personal best which apparently there is a way to work out. thanks for any comments
Nice video with good explanation. The only problem is length of all videos. 20 minutes rush through all the rules would be awesome :)
Thanks so much! I am definitely a bit more unabridged on my rules take, but always room to speed things up a bit :)
Just bought mines on black Friday! Your videos are a great help! In the first scenario (the tutorial basically) do you remove the first card in the advance deck during setup?
hi! thanks for the video. May I ask where you got the paper textures in the video? thanks
Hi Negoita, some were from Final Cut that I had for some time or maybe purchased an add on years ago for it and some others I found on Textures4photoshop as mentioned in the end screen
Hello sir, i might be late to ask. I just bought MK Ultimate Edition but i cant find card from #17-20 to remove. Please help.
As someone who loves solo board games, I never understood why this game is #1 in solo board gaming (Board game geek). Mind you people on board game geek are hardcore and maybe I'm not. I've tried to tackle this game multiple times. Every time I do, I need to look up the set up rules. Then when actually playing I have to do the same constantly. Then I sit there and realize this game is not fun. Points should be awarded for performing actions and or setting it up without looking in the manual. If you play it often then I assume you look less and less at the manual. But if you pull it off the shelf a few times a year it becomes a chore.
This game might be intricate and oozing with decision making but I've played solo games that are a lot more satisfying and fun with less mess.
Great video BTW.
Can you tell me what cards must be separated / sorted? All have the same backside.. I don't get what are basic actions, advanced actions, artifacts and whatever. In the manual, there is only one small picture of a card with a chalice... not very helpful at all.
If I will see all the videos for this how to play, will I be able to play Mage Knight Ultimate with all its expansions, or just the base game? Are there extra rules for its expansions?
YES
I’m a noob with these, is there a box or container for this? I mean, setup looks rough and setting up again seems like a pain (i may be wrong). Maybe a box where cards can be put by group?
There are some insert solutions for Mage Knight you may want to look into. Game Nerdz makes a pretty affordable one (as compared to the price of others) www.gamenerdz.com/box-insert-mage-knight-expansions?gclid=Cj0KCQiAtqL-BRC0ARIsAF4K3WFs4jd3jLTC_NiDWJkqFOnfd6Nfr_Q9DU9vlmkwsOqu_pUl8jzZFyEaAtXlEALw_wcB
