I wish you had a video for every single board game out there because your videos are better than any rule book could ever be.
That's very kind of you to say. I hope to keep making videos for a long time!
totally agree, its in one step and one learning block at a time. Excellent pace. Thank you!
Every time I try to learn a new game, I first watch the introduction from Tom Vasel or Game Boy Geek and then come to Watch It Played. Then re-read the rulebook before actual play.
Totally agree with you, Thank you so much
I concur
Anyone else get anxious when that pen came extremely close to that character mat to highlight the new max health?
I literally came to the comment section to write that.
Yes 😅
I cringed
Glad I'm not the only one
Oh yeah, i totally thought he was just gonna scrape that Level 1 health number out for keeping track easier.
Your videos are amongst the best out there. Your cadence, pace, mentioning “but we will get to later in the video”, video editing and production, and small inserts of humor are all top notch. Thanks for creating these and sharing your efforts with us. You have guided countless game nights for my friends and I.
Very kind of you to say, I'm really glad you've found the helpful - and thank you for the kind support, it's really appreciated!
Thank you “Watch It Played” for going the extra mile for all of us who depend on you. We simply couldn’t be more grateful. My girlfriend and i are now done with the 5th scenario with the help of you. We are now ready to face the upcoming scenarios and challenges while having fun because of your tutorials 😅! Once again Thank You 😊
Such a nice comment to leave Jed, I hope you both have a great time in the adventures ahead :)
Could see how happy you were with that little lid flip at the end! This mini-series has been excellent.
Ah, thanks so much!
I think it was anything but a mini-series :D Really helpful, and much appreciated nonetheless :)
A Mr.-Rogers-level box flip
This walk through has been so helpful! You have a great way of explaining things :) Now I am waiting for the postman to deliver my copy of "Jaws of the lion".
Awesome - have a great time playing!
Amazing videos i have been wanting gloom haven for a few years now but was hesitant because i thought it would be super advanced. But now i feel confident enough to play it this weekend.
Excellent - have a great time playing!
"This is a more challenging scenario than the previous one " WHAT? My friends and I just did scenario 4 with 4 players and won on our final hands after 5 hours!!!
Well done - sounds like it was tense!
We played with three and also won with our final hands after one player got knocked out. It was super close and we weren’t sure we could pull it off.
Us 3 players 8 hours 😬😩🤭
“Thanks... for watching.” So purposeful. You should do podcasting or read books for audible. I’d listen to your voice any time. Relaxing!
That's very kind of you to say Jeffrey! Thanks... for writing :)
Thanks for this series! Really liked it
Glad you enjoyed!
These videos were great just like all of yours. I’ve been considering Gloomhaven for awhile and the combo of the intro scenarios and your how to play videos made this sooo easy. Thanks for your hard work!
Thanks so much Kenneth - have a great time playing!
Best board game videos out here, thanks for your hard work!
Thank you for the kind words!
Thank you for these Gloomhaven JOTL tutorials. A great way to get playing!
You're so welcome - glad you've been enjoying them!
Rodney your videos are so helpful and so incredibly well done. From one Canadian to another thanks a lot bud!
Sure thing bud!
Amazing series. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and making my gaming experience more fulfilling.
So kind of you to say Dom!
Great walkthrough in all 5 videos. Thank you Rodney!
You're very welcome Jason!
Thanks Rodney, these videos have been super helpful in getting me up and running with JotL. Especially enjoyed the box twirl before putting the lid back on in this one 😀
So glad they've been helpful Sam!
It was a great game presentation! THX for all5 episode!
it was also easy to understand by non-native speakers!
So nice to hear that - have a great time adventuring!
This was a brilliant series. It helped me power through the first two scenarios, with very little need to reference the book. I can't wait to start scenario 3+
So glad to know it was helpful - have a great time adventuring!
Thank you for the video i am looking forward tonplaying it. Have a nice day
Thanks - have a great time playing!
Thanks Rodney, very instructive videos.
Very glad you enjoyed!
Thank you so much for this series - it really made a huge difference in learning the mechanics of the game so it can be fully enjoyed! Your teaching style and pace are perfect!
Very kind of you to say - it means a lot to know they were helpful. Happy adventuring!
Thanks for your videos. They were really helpful.
Have a great time playing Joseph!
Thanks, Rodney for this wonderful series! I got this game for my gaming group and I always watched your videos to prepare for our sessions. We completely wiped the floor in Scenario 5 with an awesome double digit shot from Hatchet to put away the Blood Tumor.
Nicely done Marcelo - very glad you liked the videos!
THANK YOU Rodney for these videos. I got this game as a gift and I Iearned a lot by watching your tutorials. Once again, thanks. Among plenty of other tutorials I´ve watched in regards to different board games, yours are very detailed without spoiling, and also nice to watch. I personally appreciate it.
Very kind of you to say - so glad you're enjoying the videos. Have a great time playing!
Me and my friends where totally new to Gloomhaven. Even though this game is an introduction, we'd never make it without your help. There is so much stuff to keep track of and it was super helpful to have someone sort through the information for us. Thank you!
There is a lot going on here - so glad the videos were helpful!
Thank you for the clear and concise video walkthrough! This game is by far the heaviest I have ever played and the learn to play book looked so daunting, this made us able to learn the game in two days instead of a month! Very well structured videos, I hope you make more for some of the other heavy games I have but haven't tried yet. You rock!
So nice to know these were helpful! Have a great time adventuring :)
Thank you very much for these videos! They have been so helpful!
Really nice to hear Ray!
Will be starting this game with my wife and some friends this evening! Thank you so much for all the info!
You're very welcome - I hope you all have a great time playing!
Thanks for this, appreciate the tutorial.
You're very welcome Suhail!
Thank you again! This helped us decide to buy and my wife and I love this game!
So glad to know you've been having fun with it Alan!
Thanks, I just got this a few days ago. Boy have games changed since I was young. These 5 scenario walk throughs are brilliant. It’s taken me a couple nights a hour here and there to finally set up the pieces and the board, etc... I’ll definitely be referring back to these for guidance. Thanks.
Have a great time adventuring!
thanks so much for the videos! We were new to gloomhaven and these video made it so much easier to just dive right in :)
So nice to know this was useful!
Superb videos! Really helped being ready to play!
SO nice to hear - have fun adventuring!
I binged this series and then ordered jaws of the lion, thank you for this excellent overview - I'd happily have watched you go through an entire campaign 😂👏
Thanks for the kind words - I hope you have a great time playing!
I've watched all of your Gloomhaven tutorial videos. I even played them for background noise while working, just to help me remember the rules. Your content and style is way more appealing than reading (even though the Gloomhaven JotL booklets are super great).
Thanks for this!
Very nice of you to say - so glad they were helpful (and enjoyable!)
I've spent more time watching your How-To videos on this than actually playing. With the steep learning curve of this game I'm not sure I would have stayed committed to learning JOTL without these. Thank you!
So nice to know they've been helpful! Happy adventuring :)
Great walkthrough thank you for the instructions 😁
You're very welcome Cory!
Thank you!! Waiting for the game to arrive 😁😁 It's so helpful to learn the game with your great explanation! Also great box managing skills 😂😂
have a great time playing!
Phew! Made it through all 5 with your help, couldn't have done it without you 😁
So glad to know they were useful! Have a great time playing :)
Hey thanks Rodney for this playlist! Your videos are always the ones I trust most to get the rules right. And for this game we were getting some of them WRONG and making our character's lives more difficult. Thanks!
So glad these were helpful - thanks for the kind words!
You are the best. Thank you so much for your help 😊😊
You're very welcome - have fun playing Mary!
Getting this on Friday. Can’t wait.
Have a great time playing!
Its Impossible to be sad when watching his explenations. Such a happy guy , your are a natural born tacher for This . You made me buy This game ! Amazing job and thanks a lot!
Thank you for the kind words Miguel - have a great time playing!
Really excellent description on all of the scenarios. I was really nervous teaching my already apprehensive girlfriend how to play but these videos made it so easy to follow. Loving the game so far! Thanks for the guides.
So glad you've been enjoying, have a great time playing together!
Great videos Rodney!
Thank you Matt!
Thanks for these, really helpful
Glad you enjoyed - happy adventuring!
Hi. I'm a bit late on this thread, but recently discovered the channel and fully enjoy watching it palyed!
I would actually love to see a let's play of Jaws of the Lion with Luke the Lucky. You guys always do a great team!
So glad you're enjoying - we do have a play through on the channel with the excellent Monique and Naveen if you're interested!
This is a great game, with a great tutorial
great videos thanks! I bought this game because of you
I hope you have a fantastic time playing Will!
Thanks for these videos
You're very welcome - and a thanks to Isaac the designer for helping to sponsor them too!
My girlfriend and I have finished the first four scenarios with you and I can't wait to play scenario five. I even bought the full Gloomhaven to play after Jaws of the Lion so we have plenty of gaming left. Thanks for getting us into it!
Ah, it's so wonderful to hear that you've been enjoying it. Very glad to have been virtually there with you :)
I don't know what I would do without your videos! (Well, that's not true... I know I would spend countless more hours on tutorial books, while managing to also mess up half the rules for lord knows how many games). Thank you so much for these. They make my life so much easier, and more importantly, so much more fun.
Kathryne, that's so nice of you to say, I'm very glad you're finding them helpful :)
Decided to buy the game after watching your first 2 videos. Tomorrow I'm onto scenario 5, and I'm sure I would've had a much harder time figuring out the rules without these videos. Thank you very much!
You're very welcome Luis - have a great time adventuring!
This was a very informative set of videos.
I totally want you to do How to Play videos when I finish my card game. :)
Glad you enjoyed Azriel!
Been refreshing UA-cam for the last few days waiting for this!
The wait is over!
Great series
Thanks!
Thank you so much for the great vids. I just ordered JotL and cant wait to start with my friends.
Have a wonderful time adventuring!
@@WatchItPlayed Thanks!
Description says that we're going to learn the fourth scenario, not the fifth.
Thanks for doing these videos. Professional and entertaining presentation as always!
Thanks for catching that - fixed!
Thanks for these Rodney, you've really done a great job of explaining things clearly and concisely. Can't wait for my copy to arrive now! As a new subscriber to your channel, I'm really enjoying your content. Keep it up!
So wonderful to have you here, I hope you have a great time playing!
Been playing with our 7-y.o. daughter. Today it's scenario 5 night and, even though her English level is not that great yet, she couldn't be more excited! Of course, the videos helped a lot.
So glad they were helpful - good luck with the 5th scenario!
This channel is awesome
Very kind of you to say!
Hi! Your video’s are so good! I have started playing jaws of the lion and many others after watching your channel. Are you planning to make a video for the upcomming Frosthaven? Keep up the great work🙂
So glad you've been enjoying the videos and thanks for the interest! I talk a bit about that here: ua-cam.com/video/EdtDuvIUa6A/v-deo.html&t=342
Would have loved to see you and Pep play this whole tutorial campaign out like back in the days!
Me too!
I've been playing base gloomhaven for a couple of years now and watching these videos has been fun and but the little tips, like putting the tokens on the trap, are going to enhance playing the base game so much. I'm starting to think about grabbing this just for stuff like that. That and my niece has asked me to play gloomhaven more than once and I've held off because of how massive it is. this may be the answer to that.
Steve, I think this version of the game might be perfect for that.
Rodney you are Brilliant
So glad you're enjoying Daniel!
Thank you so much ☺️
You're very welcome - have a great time playing!
Great videos!
I hope you guys do one for cthulhu death may die
Rodney is very good at explaining.
Thank you kindly, Billy
GLOOMHAVEN MATH CLASS!
Great series!
And I love how you misread the 95 as a 59 because that's what's happening to me all the time when explaining numbers upside down. 😅👍🏻
It happens, right? :)
Great video as always, Rodney! I can't wait to get it to the table!!
Thanks Jerry - hope you have a great time playing!
I watched all 5 tutorials back to back and my brain feels like it has information overload lol.
I would imagine so! Time for a nap :)
thank you!
You're very welcome!
Man, after watching these videos this looks load of fun, I just wish I had someone to play it with. Oh the woes of a lone board gamer.
It can be played solo as well!
outstanding!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you kindly Jon :)
Rodney Smith, the best rulebook for board games. Every board game needs Rodney Smith explaining the rules. :D
At 7:04. This is why I adore the game, you do not have to go hardcore on difficulty. You can just focus on completing the campaign story for a fun experience :D!! But finally, at 9:54. YES!!!! I do not need to use stickers after all XD!!!!!
Sigh now that this series has finished I realise how long I need to wait until the game arrives. I feel I will be rewatching them at least 1 more time waiting until the end of August.
Thanks for watching through these videos with me, and hopefully you can get the game asap!
Rodney! First of all i want to thank you because you helped me not only learning the games but also gaining the ability to explain it to others! You are the 1 undisputed.
Second, a question. If i negate damage discarding a card do i negate the condition too?
Cheers from Argentina!
Hey Emi, the damage is negated, but not the condition. Greetings back from Canada!
@@WatchItPlayed Thanks so much!!!!
Thanks for covering my favorite game, Rodney!
Would love to see a playthrough of a scenario if possible
Glad you enjoyed!!
Well, i now have to wait this game to be translated in French. You totally hyped me for this one 😳
Glad you enjoyed - hope it makes its way to your language soon!
I'm the regular game master for my group and your videos helped me so much with the teach. We could not have had so much fun without you. Your impact in our world cannot be minimize and you have achieved what you set out to do, to be that friend at the table to teach the rest of us how to play so we can just get on with it. ❤
Such a nice comment to take the time to leave - thank you!
Wow, I cant get my copy soon enough. The production quality of these videos are top notch.
Thank you Adam - hope you have a great time with the game!
I may actually end up getting the video game adaptation of Gloomhaven on Steam thanks to your videos :)
Glad these were helpful!
Is it any good?
Be warned. The campaign aka the actual game is the very, very, very last thing they're putting into the game. Right now, there are just a few modes of play that are nowhere near what people mean when they say Gloomhaven. And they may not get the campaign done in 2020. I'm waiting until it's days away from full release before I buy it because of that.
Only includes the starting classes plus one so not all my favorites but it is easier and quicker because you don't need to control monster focus and there's not the huge setup of Gloomhaven. Also these days it is harder to get gaming groups around the table.
Great idea as always, thanks. I've a question about a couple of the Voidwarden cards you may know the answer to… These are the small combat cards you get through perks and there is one that gives +0 Ally and +1 Ally with heal symbols (I think). We have played this as a +0 or +1 combat cards and also a heal of 1 to an ally but can't find this anywhere in the rules or glossary.
Thanks.
I do my best to answer all rules questions on the games I cover, but I avoid individual card/character effects, as that's a level of detail beyond what I can manage across all the videos I do. I'd suggest checking the rules forum for the game on BoardGameGeek or the publishers website. I hope you can find your answer there - have fun playing!
Hi Rodney, first of all, thanks for the very clear explanations! They’ve made it even more easy for us to play JOTL. We do have one remaining question which we can seem to figure out, hopefully you can help us:
For example, the favorite card from hatchet, it shows 2XP gained written on the card (when performing part of the action). But how often does hatchet gain that XP, since it can remain active for the whole scenario?
- every time part of the action is completed? (This seems overkill to us)
- every time Hatchet (re-)uses the card from the start within the scenario.
- only once per scenario
Thanks a lot in any case!
Val
So glad you enjoyed the videos :)
I do by best to answer all rules questions on the games I cover, but I avoid individual card effects, as that's a level of detail beyond what I can manage across all the videos I do. Just a heads up for most questions like this. In this case though, you get that XP just once the card has been played. For other card specific questions I'd suggest checking the rules forum for the game on BoardGameGeek or the publishers website. Have fun playing!
@@WatchItPlayed thanks! That does answer our question about that card and similar cards and also tells us we’ve made some mistakes during scenario 4. We’ll need to take that into consideration 😅
Have a great day and keep on posting these awesome videos!
Thank you Rodney !
Now I have to play alone in Gloomhaven without our little « briefings »
You've got this! Happy adventuring :)
So I convinced my wife and my mother to play Gloomhaven JotL with me! I have had it for a while but haven’t had people to play with. I also have Gloomhaven which they will play with me when we are done with JotL. We are having a ton of fun playing! Both my wife and mother are doing great in the game!
I’m the Red Guard to tank. My Wife is the Demolitionist. My mother is the Void Warden. Our son who is 10 plays Hatchet but he doesn’t have the patience to play all the time.
But anyway, we just finished this scenario and it got pretty hairy as I went in for an attack and missed my attack and didn’t have shields available for my shield spikes. Got down to 2 health. We recovered and cleared that area. Got into the boss room and amazingly we killed the boss on our first turn after entering the room.
My mothers last turn she was able to move me right next to the boss and the two zealots were moved forward one space from when we entered the room. I had first initiative. I had an upper attack for 3 +1 with using light that was infused, then pulled a -1. Also had a +3 attack on my lower part of the other card and pulled a +0 modifier. Boss down to 12 health plus I poison it. My second attack also hit the zealots. First one for 3 so it would heal the boss which removed the poison. My second attack I pulled my cancel modifier again so I missed my attack. No heals on the boss which was awesome. My wife moves up, attacks the boss for 3…down to 9 health. My mother had 3rd initiative. Moved up and granted a +5 attack for me and I pulled the 2x modifier for an attack of 10!!
I couldn’t believe that we actually killed the boss on our first turn!
I did this scenario with just my son and I a while ago and we had a much tougher time with the boss, so I was in even more shock when we beat the Blood Tumor on our first turn in the room!!
Can’t wait to continue! This upcoming Friday, Cinco de Mayo is our next play session!!
Sounds like some thrilling sessions! So glad you’re all having a great time playing together :)
your welcome
Ty sir for this great and clean explanation!!! U save us alot of time and effort !! God bless u! Btw how many scenarios u will play max each campaign?? There are 25 but u mention u will not play all every campaign!
Glad you found it helpful! I'm not sure how many scenarios you play in a full campaign. Let us know if you find out!
@@WatchItPlayed hello! I just find a sheet that has the scenario road! U will play 14 campaign senario and after that there are 6 secret senarios so max 21 senarios on a campaign from 25 ! I hope i am right. At least thats what i found on boardgame arena
Cant wait till this arrives. And saying goodbye to this great sires is so sad! :(
I hope you have a wonderful time playing!
Hi, Rodney. I love your vids. Could you recommend which would be better to buy after finishing Jaws of the Lion, Gloomhaven or Frosthaven?
Hey, thanks for the interest. I tend to avoid giving personalized recommendations. What I like, someone else might not - but hopefully you see a few games on here that might be what you are looking for! That said, in this case, I also have played either of those other games, so I REALLY can't help :)
@@WatchItPlayed thanks for taking the time to respond! I will keep an eye on your vids to check more games for sure. Keep up the good job!
Dear Rodney, could you stop making me buy new games? Just kidding lol it’s always great to see your learn to play series which help me decides what I really wanted to buy since I had to import most of the time.
Ok, shutting the channel down today then :)
So glad you're enjoying Shattering!
So glad I got JOTL before diving into full fat Gloomhaven, I do wonder if I will miss all of the improvements from JOTL that wont be in Gloomhaven...maybe I should wait for Frosthaven?
Hard to say, I imagine it will be player preference.
@@WatchItPlayed By the way, thank you so much for making these videos so clear and concise. Between this, Robinson Crusoe and Mansions Of Madness you have saved me so much time and frustration, I probably would have given up on board games as a hobby without your videos!
Great video series. Thank you! QUESTION: Our Characters are about to start the 4 episode. None of us have any experience points yet. Is that normal?
Hey Gary, that would be impossible. Check this part of the 3rd video in the series to see why: ua-cam.com/video/gOGYLr6BNFI/v-deo.html
You should have started accumulating experience points during Scenario 3.
Watch It Played Thank you! It’s easy to miss something. 🙂
For stickers I hear you can use a hair dryer to remove them.
When you level up, do you swap the level 2 card with one from your current hand, or just add it to your current hand?
Thank you this video series was very helpful :)
Don’t forget, you can only bring in as many cards to a scenario as your characters hand limit (you’ll find a reminder about this on the last video). So it’s not so much that you’re swapping the new one for any specific other one. You add the new card to your pool of “available” ability cards and then before the next scenario, pick as many as you want to use, up to your limit. Hope that helps!
Watch It Played Thank you! I’m on scenario 6 and leveled up at the end of the last round, so I could not remember. ,
@@bellabella327 No worries - there's a lot to keep track of :)
Hi. Thanks for the video. If I have chosen 1 level 2 card and didnt like it during next scenario. Can I go back and change it for the other?
Thanks
Nope.
@@WatchItPlayed Thanks! And when I get to choose the cards from my batch of level 1, X and level2? Once I have seen the scenario or before setting it up?
thnks!
@@simonsanchezj Hey Javier, I do my best to cover any questions on my videos, but if they were answered in the video than I have to direct you there, or back to the rule book.
Hey Rodney! My wife and i just started a run through, and we are on scenario 4 now. But we have repeatedly had a question about dotted lines on cards. When you see a dotted line does that mean you can do either action in any order or do you have to do on top of dotted line and then bottom of dotted line? Thank you so much for all your hard work and incredible videos!
You have to follow it in order. Do the top action, then the bottom. However you do not have to do both if you do not want.
Thanks to Rick for the assist! Hope you both have a great time playing Tyler!
We finished Jaws of the Lion and I just received the original Gloomhaven and I was readying the manual and see I can upgrade the cards with the stickers provided, if I use characters from Jaws in gloomhaven can I use the stickers with them?
I don't know if they are meant to be mixed in that way. That's something I would check the Jaws of the Lion rules for, as they talk about bringing characters into the main game.
