      @@Just_an_average_weeb it all depends on your group and how comfortable they are with these kind of games and it may be daunting for someone going in from monopoly but it's quite fun. Plus there is a app that has been released since to take over the overlord role making it totally co-op. There are many expansions out already which keep it fresh if you get bored of it. It is possible that a 3rd edition may be released in the near future. That is something to keep in mind.

    As always, thank you for your excellent instructional videos. Although I have played Descent 2 several times, it has been about year since I last played (a case of too many games on the shelf and not enough time). So, I decided to look for a guide video as a "refresher" so I could more easily strike up a game with my son this weekend. This was perfect - now I'm off to watch the remaining Descent 2 videos in your series.

    Just a clarification to others on what Rodney keeps mentioning. The game does have a Campaign play aspect that you can choose to play through that gives gradual growth to the heroes and the overlord. The game also does have rules that give an advanced play aspect, letting you play single quests (one-offs) with the advanced abilities/overlord cards/monsters. So it is possible to use the advanced things in a single-quest capacity; they aren't just "only used in campaign play."

      In my case, I had a group of goblin archers to start the game. Each turn (as the overlord), I could put 1 goblin archer at the exit. I didn't know if I could then use him or if I had to wait to make a "group" as was specified on the card.

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  10 років тому +1

      ***** The group on the card specifies the maximum number of goblins you can have on the board at any one time, based on the number of players.
      So you only get to add a goblin if you have less than the indicated total on the card (usually because those pesky heroes have killed some of them). Any newly added goblins are part of the same group as all other goblins on the table.

    when youre placing search tokens, would you put down the search tokens marked with a 2 if youre playing with 3 heroes? Or is it only equal amd not less than or equal to? i hope this makes sense. thanks!

    • @WatchItPlayed

      You put tokens on spaces marked equal to or less than the number of heroes. So in a 3 player game, on spaces marked with a 2 or 3.

    Might be a little late but ever consider playing "hero quest"?
    I know it's out of print but there's a lot of us out there that still own out original copies with expansions. It's truly a game that stands the test of time. Hopefully you can find your own copy and have a great time enjoying an old classic even if you don't make a video for it..

      felipe hoil Hey Felipe! I wouldn't cover that one simply because it is out of print, and most people who would watch, would never be able to play it, but I have heard lots of good things about it, for sure.

    hey Rodney those hero tokens when a hero is knocked out an there is no more hero tokens to put on the map does that mean that hero is gone completely for the rest of the game or does the hero's keep coming back to play as many times as he or she wants?

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  8 років тому

      The hero keeps coming back. There is no elimination for a character.

      I believe in a later printing of the game, they changed the title of one of the quests.

    Hello and happy 2018 Rodney,
    First of all thank you for posting the gameplay of Descent.
    I bought Descent: Journeys in the Dark (second edition) yesterday and on my quest books provided within the game basic box, I don't have any quest named "Twin Idols".
    Also none of my 19 different maps has search token indicated as a "*". Is it possible I bought a different version of the game?
    Sorry for necromanting this back up, I am so confused.
    Thank you kindly

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  7 років тому

      That's a tough one to answer. There was a first edition to the game (but it has a very different box, and shape, and would be hard to find). Assuming you have the correct box (as shown in this video), then it is possible you are missing a search token, but that would be surprising (any chance you just didn't look at both sides of all the tokens?).
      As for the scenario, I have heard that they changed the names/quests in later printings of this game, so it is possible that specific scenario is different. Good luck sorting out this mystery!

    Maybe you answer this in a future video, so sorry if so, but you put that forth exploration token down all by itself. Should it be mixed in with the three that contain the objective? If not, what is the point of collecting the token that you know does not contain the objective?

    You said the overlord knows which token is the key? I thought quests with runekey icons were hidden so both players do not know which is which. (i do not see it written on the Twin Idols so does that mean the Overlord can peek?)

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  11 років тому

      I don't have the rules in front of me right now, but they state that the Overlord knows where they are placed. This is something that surprised a few people so we checked at the time.

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  4 роки тому +1

      I believe later printings of the game changed the name of the scenarios. It's okay, this video was just using that scenario as an example. You should just start with the first one in Act 1.

    i havent played it yet but im willing to do so. the revine action of the heroes doesnt create a huge advantage to the heroes? i mean they can revive every time and continue fighting so how can the overlord win the heroes? but again i dont have read all the rules sorry.

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  10 років тому

      We have a full play through on here, so perhaps watching that would give you a better sense of it.
      Although the Heroes can revive, they don't revive to full health and it does cost them actions. Also, remember the Overlord can keep respawning enemies, so that helps balance it out.

      *****
      just bought it and looks great. i ve read most of the rulls and i have 2 questions:
      1) a hero can perform a range attack through an ally hero midway the line of sight?imagine 3 blocks in a row, 2 cosnecutive with heroes and the third one with an enemy.a hero from position 1 can attack range in enemy in position 3 without movement through his ally?
      2)ettin special move reach. can it attack with ability reach, an enemy with ally monsters in adjastment blocks right in front of him? scenario 1 first blood just want to know how to protect him..(almost same example with 1)
      maybe later i have any further questions.
      nice work, thanks a lot for your time!

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  10 років тому

      Judge_Dredd My understanding is that:
      1) Nothing can obstruct the LOS, including a friendly model.
      2) Same goes here, but I'm not completely sure about this, as it's not actually a ranged attack.

      I believe they made some minor adjustments to the quest book in later printings - you likely have the newer printing.

    • @BrianReichert

      @@WatchItPlayed After a bit of Googling it looks like they scrapped the original campaign book, called Shadow Rune and replaced it with Heirs of Blood in more recent printings. Unfortunately, the original campaign isn't available anymore.
