How to Play Dead By Daylight: The Board Game 

I find her unbelievably beautiful.

​@@warduke8192 Same.....

Damn I just imagined her narrating paint drying... I will like is she does that vid.

She is called the Queen of Nerds for a reason. I share the view, I find her insanely captivating but luckily I dont simp, but man I always get close to becoming a simp when I hear her talk

IM GOONING AS WE F'ING SPEAK FRIENDS

@@inspiringbee7074 You're right, we need to murder them.

Sadly it is. I played it and it's what I believe that by daylight should be. Of course they couldn't get everything from the video game into the board game, but this game seems fair for both sides.

I agree with rod

In fairness that bar seems really low.

Obviously, it's turn based

Much easier to balance when paths/actions people can take are fixed and deterministic.

name one asymmetrical game that is balanced?

@@Fringewonder pretty much any rts game or left 4 dead 2. They aren’t too complex to look into and do adjustments too whatever side has op units or underpowered unit. The developers that make rts games as well listen too the feedback of their communities and they understand how their games work at all levels of play. Can’t say the same for behavior.

@HyenaBlak Multiplayer RTS matches are not typically asymmetrical (each side typically has access to full range of their units and abilities, and can counter their opponents blow for blow). L4D is a PvE game, not PvP.

Agreed!

are we looking at the same figures

dude Claudette look's like shes already been mori'd what do you mean

@@anthonyjh02 THATS WHAT I'M SAYING

​@@anthonyjh02 nea looks like claudette 😂

*** Update *** Played the board game and had a great time playing it. Played both sides, survivor and killer (the hag). It was tough yet rewarding.

Yeap, I think many players atleast was expecting a game where you move around a grid with hidden positions etc. and would be turned off because "wait, killer knows where we are?". But when you played it you get it and I agree, this is very solid game and it feels true to original and in many ways even more inline with the theme then a desktop game. And what is interesting - at first on early stages this WAS a hidden movement game that probably closer to what players would expect, but they decided that this is not working and changed... And I feel in the end it played off, again, to me this is an amazing game.

Face camping not an effective strategy in the board game.

@@TheAntiSanta it was a joke

Yeah after a certain point, just playing the video game is a better idea lol

Actualy to me and my *friends it was an other way, they picked it up pretty fast even when most of them are non-gamers. And I think this was kinda of L99 point to make a game that is easy enough to be your first ever boardgame. Maybe play first game without a skills, it would be kind of unbalanced this way, but it plays pretty fast.

It's actually very simple...if you've played a couple rounds of the videogame, the boardgame is very easy to learn.

It's either you getting old or you aren't a hobby board gamer because, believe it or not, this is a pretty basic game when comparing to a lot of other board games out there.

It's just a lot at once, but once you play a few rounds you'll get it

I'm here because I'm a backer too! Can't wait to get my game

I backed the game too! I'm on tenterhooks with anticipation...... ......wait, it seems I'm on an ACTUAL hook. My bad.

@@poissonsumac7922 need to be able to give more likes for this

@@poissonsumac7922 looks like I have to come save you!

Mine arrived yesterday!

For each survivor that is on a hook during the clean-up phase, a token is added to the sacrifice track. On the next round of actions, if that survivor is still on the hook when their turn occurs, their turn is skipped. If they are left on the hook for that entire round, another sacrifice token will be added to the sacrifice track during the clean-up phase. The killer wins by filling up the sacrifice track with eight tokens. Survivors cannot die in the boardgame.

top tier joke

It looks like Terrorscape is more DBD than the DBD boardgame😂

There is an optional way to play in which you can edit your loadout of perks, changing your survivors or killers abilities in the game and creating powerful builds

There are some that I've seen, though while Level99 Games normally is happy to endorse or support fanmade content, the licensed nature of this game means they can't provide support for said fanmade content. HOWEVER the company has put out comments and hints saying that at some point during the early part of this year, we should be hearing news about possible expansions for Dead By Daylight, presumably for the next batch of killers that the video game has added that the board game did not yet receive

The killer gets the hook token from the players board on the first hook and gets another during the cleanup for each hooked survivor, but if they hook the same survivor again the only get the hook token during cleanup

They can only sabotage one hook per round, if you ever sabotage another hook, you just move the token to the new hook

Pretty sure Nurse is in the base game...

@@narri_l_official I already reilize, and reilize game cost...

killer plays wait. killer plays wait. killer plays wait.

Quite a lot of tabletop games are coming with digital somethingorother now, be it a rules reference, sort of AI (not the nasty kind) NPC or narrator, or a full blown digital version.

It currently is 2-5 players. It will never be more than that. That's not how the game works. This is based on the video game.

​@@CaseyMikalo says it's 2-4 players in the video. If it's 5 players it's an instant purchase.

You can have up to four people play as the Survivors and you need 1 person to play as the Killer. The game minimally needs 3 players for the game to work. If you are playing with 3 people, I believe, one plays as the killer and 2 people play as 2 Survivors each.

​@@mtymus Actually she says in the video "2-4 players take on the role of Survivors... Another player takes on the role of the killer". And she later says "5 players total".

Going to quote the rulebook here for you: "If you reveal any card other than "Wait" and you cannot move, then you lose the opportunity to interact with that card." Hope that answers your question! 👍

When you're on the hook, you're at the mercy of your fellow players to come help you off the hook

Each survivor starts the game with one hook progress token on their board, which is added to the progress track the first time they are hooked, meaning that they are worth less subsequent times they are hooked. However, it also means that if you ever get all 4 survivors on the hooks at the same time, you've already won via the progress track. As far as I can tell, I don't think it's possible to even hook all 4 in the same exact round, but even hypothetically, by end of round you will have 8 progress should you accomplish that

Well maybe because having the first turn is considered lucky by intuition, which is the effect that the Jar promises.

It generally favors the survivors if all players are at an equal skill set, however I would say that if the killer player is experienced, they have a higher ceiling of potential and can even things up

The first time each survivor gets hooked, they're essentially worth a guaranteed 2 points that turn, so if the killer manages to get each survivor on the hook at the same time, the game should already be over

Actualy you can in some sence, but its not viable. Because you get more tokens if you hood different peoples and even if you face-camp they could still unhook pretty easy lying.

When you're on the hook, your turn is essentially skipped on the next round, but the longer you are on the hook the more progress you give the killer toward their win condition

Becca can be found all over the place. GoodTimeSociety is her channel which she set up with Jake Michels, but she's also been on Dimension20Show, CollegeHumor, D&DWizards, TheGlassCannon, GameKnights, GeekAndSundry, Warhammer, MtG, StreamOfBlood, AintSlayedNobody, TabletopJocks, umm.. and many others.

Don't know how it works here, but yes, Collector's Edition has it.

Maybe in an expansion or smth, that would be really nice... yeah...

no
