Fearamid is one of the greatest portmanteaus that I have ever heard.

[@radladprime]

Commented while watching. There are more portmanteaus!

[@SwordandBoardGames]

Now that’s an SAT word if I’ve ever heard of one.

Nice to see a playthrough of this game. Congrats on the win.

[@SwordandBoardGames]

Thank you and thanks for the view!

[@subkreature]

Tin Helm is freaking amazing. Dust Runner is freaking amazing. Gonna buy this and Gates next, I think...

[@SwordandBoardGames]

I need to buy Dust Dunner still

[@sentino68]

I just can’t beat Dustrunner.

[@spencerpalmer2918]

Thanks! It looks so much better in color.
What’s your background?

[@akira2512]

at 13:24 you did 4 damage to the Skelepede with 3 HP. 1 damage would be carried over to the Rot Worm. Together with the 1 damage from the guard and the tower, you would have damaged the Rot Worm for 3 damage.
And unfortunately you cannot use the same command twice in one turn 28:36, so you would not have won the game in the end :)

[@SwordandBoardGames]

Ope! Thanks for pointing that out.

[@eltonjohnson]

When you do the caravan command and replace the townsfolk, where do those townsfolk go? It explicitly says "discard" but it seems a little OP/broken to be able to pay 1 gold to put townsfolk into your discard/draw pile faster than recruiting them the normal way. Assuming it means remove them from the game entirely?

[@jonathanfryer1319]

Thank you for the play through.
I just wonder if you HAVE to use all 3 cards in your hand?
🤔

[@SwordandBoardGames]

I wonder that too. I can't see anything addressing this in BGG. I just assumed you would have to discard them. Heroes specifically have been addressed by Glover in the BGG forums recently and he said heroes are "use it or lose it."

[@jonathanfryer1319]

@@SwordandBoardGames Thank you. Appreciated.

[@jorgenantonioelgueta7842]

Did you also get Tin Helm?

[@SwordandBoardGames]

I did! I have a playthrough coming soon. I still have to edit it.

[@levitatingbusinessman2560]

According to my manual there should only be two enemies out at once. Though I've also found the game too easy.

[@sentino68]

Not really any error there. The last (third) enemy card on the left was in the “left the scene” pile.

[@jeremyhubaker1199]

I DON THINK YOU PLAYED THIS CORRECTLY.

[@SwordandBoardGames]

YOU ARE CORRECT
