Blessed does work for attack actions since you test strength to do damage. Directly from the rules reference 409.2 "When you perform an attack action, you choose one monster in your space, engage that monster, and test strength." Love your videos and this was another great one. Thanks for making them.
Playthroughs of this game always look so fun. But when I play, I end up with 4 Doom on my scenario sheet by round 2, roll nothing but failures, and any time that I will lose the game by rolling a 1 on a dice, it happens. I'd enjoy more AH3 playthroughs, so I can live vicariously.
Thanks so much!! I will have to see if Bairnt will allow me to borrow the game again as it is his, but I do think another playthrough is in the mix! I loved my experience with it!
Great video! One way we play it : One person reads the encounters(or you bcs solo) but you do not read "if you pass" or "if you fail", so we must quess what happens based on theme and feel alone! Really adds up to the fear of the unknown.
This was a very fun scenario. I've never played Arkham Horror, but I did play Eldrich Horror. And from this gameplay I can see that my issues with EH and what I expected that game to be is actually what AH is; that is a full narrative arc where the players move through the story and try to beat the scenario. I've always felt that EH never did deliver that, and winning or losing the game always fell flat to me, since there was no real payoff to the game.
Most of his games he is really "lucky". He passed 99% of his rolls which is impossible. If he needs to roll a 5 on a 1000 sided die he will roll it. I wanted to give him another chance so i watched this video and...yeah...this is not lucky, this is called fixing the rolls and draws and whatnot.
"If you bother to buy a round for the sailors next to you, they will regale you with tales that delight you for hours." You want tales? Hold my beer and I'll tell you of the Bloodless Man...
I am still on the fence on this one. I own everything for Eldritch Horror but I really miss the AH2 feeling of being inside a city learning about all the ins and outs there instead of all around the globe. The scenario focus always repelled me, since replayability is an absolute must for me. But this definite looked better in terms of possible replayability. Maybe I have to reconsider this game. Anyway, thanks for the gameplay. Btw. those were some crazy good roles. I never seem to have that much luck when playing anything Arkham related. 🤣
Yeah it's a hard one! I personally prefer this one with a slightly more scripted story and moving across town vs. a globe. And I do think replay is just fine especially with the expansions! Maybe see if you can try it once! Also yes the dice were in our favor for sure!!
Our experiences with AH3 were definitely underwhelming. AH2 felt *epic* (including the set-up and tear down. It hit the sweet spot for scenarios, group fun and wonky stories you made up for your characters as the game proceeded. AH3 was weirdly clinical and *fun* was never a part of the few games that we played before largely abandoning the game.
AH3 is great fun with an interesting encounter system to get clues and narratively guided scenarios with branches. Definitely recommend it with all expansions tho and the later scenarios the better. Just be aware that you will feel always like you have to run and extinguish fires, you never have the chance really to explore, you just try to land on a decent encounter area for your encounter if you can while you extinguish these fires. We absolutely love it but it's very different from EH and AH2
I think you did yourself in with the infiltration action. it says you can add successes to your roll. so you should have rolled first, then spent money.
Thank you, that was so much fun to watch! So maybe I will get this instead of Cthulhu Death may die... its cheaper and I am looking for adventuring rather than beating up big baddies. 🤔 one of these days I'll have to make up my mind. Or I will not get any game myself and just continue watching you play. Sadly the friendly local game store never sells me any Collins to play games with.
Love the Arkham Horror series of games (massive LCG fan) and only reason I have yet to buy this is a friend who I game with has this and the expansions. Did anyone ever do the LCG game on the channel? Great video as always Colin!
Another fantastic video! Question, I thought you could only spend money to move up to two additional spaces, I feel like Jenny moved three at times. Does she have a special ability that lets her move more?
You can move two spaces but allso you can move again spending the amount of money You have. In this case 2$=2move apart of the two base move. 4 in total.
i love this scenario i still havnt explored all of it lol the high house stuff is cool if u ever find time to actually get through it lol ... always worth getting that lantern lol screw 12 hp lol
Zoey ended up quite the spellcaster. I played base Arkham 3rd a few times and found it less enjoyable than Eldritch, but I can see the expansion may have tightened up the balance a bit.
Hej. Love you videos. Very fun. Are you doing 2 attack action at 1:28:29. Used wrack spell on roped figure and then you attack the elite blood faced dude. Is that allowed?
Okay im little confused too cause it stands on the wrack spell that using the spell is and action. If its not used as an attack action, witch kind of action is it? I have been in the same situations and i dont know what to do, i thougt it did dmg and therefore it was and attack action.
@@OneStopCoopShop okay, for some reason they look different than mine. Maybe there are different editions or something. I dont have those white things in street tiles.
They definitely planned for it. In the latest expansion there is a new mechanic introduced with cards that have a third encounter type that is not yet used an will be used in future expansions. Cant wait!
Been watching a lot of these older videos and yet to see the investigators fail, same with the Cthulu death may die which indicates that these games are to easy to win otherwise I would expect at least a 50% fail rate compared to a 100% success rate.
I only play the card game but I have tried playing Mansions of Madness, my biggest issue is that if they added the cards, placement pieces and die to the app, you wouldnt even need to buy the board game, its just annoying to play a game that 90% app with 10% context switching. That being said, this game looks really interesting and I might have to check it out some more because it does a better job at feeling like Arkham with more meat
