Good videos. Just two caveats: Leaders invade for free, and ships are destroyed when they are in a fjord adjacent to a province in which (1) they loose a battle or (2) ragnarok occurs.
Great tutorial on Blood Rage! Love the little details (and now I know a great use for the extendable fork I have in my camping gear!) One tip I'd add for newbies to the game is that the drafting is probably the most critical component of the game. The upgrades (esp. the Odin cards) can dramatically swing a game in a single person's favor if the other players don't realize the impact of passing all the "good" cards on to some devilish player who sees their collective benefit. For Blood Rage, the instructions suggest that individual players try and draft a variety of cards: that's great advice, but many players ignore it if it's no re-emphasized by the person teaching the game.
Love these videos, great job Nathan! This is my favorite game, and I always watch this before teaching new peeps. Time to start teaching the table some 3 month old board games!
Nathan just tells you how to get going, the Leader does invade for free, but Nathan also doesnt explain every rule and card. Do you like doing the leader strategies?
I couldn't stop but notice how low quality the miniatures look, they have all their weapons BENT Advice: Put them in hot water and try to straighten up the weapons and after they are the way you like them put them on ice cold water.
Game is awesome, maybe try playing it solo to get the rules down. Then teach to your friends. You could also try the video game version to get the rules down. The rules are simple once it clicks.
