This is hands down the best, most well thought out tutorial of any board/card game I’ve ever watched on RU-vid. Thank you!

@Simon-L-B Месяц назад

I agree, I need this for every game I buy!

@taurelin_gaming Год назад

Excellent tutorial. As the game can be quite overwhelming, this approach of ignoring the irrelevant elements until they actually matter is extremely helpful. Also, I like the balance between mechanics and tactics.

@TheGameLocker Год назад

Thanks so much! That's definitely what I was aiming for, sharing some tactics here and there to help make sense WHY to do certain things.

@ronhoward121 5 месяцев назад

This game really is one of the best games ever made. I only stopped playing because of the glory that is Arkham Horror Living Card Game. Such incredible gems of game design.

@TheGameLocker 5 месяцев назад

Seems to be the story of many others too ;). I have zero interest in the Arkham theme, but the mechanics sound amazing.

@ronhoward121 5 месяцев назад

@@TheGameLocker Right, right. At first I thought "pull a random horrible number out of a bag and suffer" was a bad mechanic, but it becomes manageable, and you generally only do things when you've got a very strong chance of success. But the missions are far more detailed and thematic than LoTR, and the campaigns are amazing as your deck grows and you gain injuries and permanent effects from the campaign. But the deck design is more obvious. You still plan a puzzle based on who you bring on a campaign, but it's more about how you upgrade than how you build. Arkham ends up telling a story that is unique to you through the game mechanics alone, which is awesome. We lost a long-standing police officer near the end of a campaign where we were walking down a magical staircase to our doom, and we were like...how are we going to justify a new character suddenly appearing when he dies (as per game mechanics), and our player realized they were playing the actress, so we rationalized it as if she had been acting as the police officer the whole time and only now revealed herself. Kind of silly, but an iconic memory. That poor cop - he stayed back and took permanent harms so many times to save us, until it finally killed him. So, LotR is an awesome puzzle game with less total randomness, and Arkham Horror is a roleplaying game about managing how horrible things get and seeing how far you can make it. It's about triage and tough decisions. Really well done games.

@Makon0006 4 месяца назад

I had picked up the old slim core box some time ago, played it 2-handed for a tiny bit, then put it away because I didn't care for it. I recently decided to give it another try but with true-solo and have been loving it. Catching this video, however, has shone a massive revelatory light on some of the things I hadn't truly understood too well (the staging area, simultaneous questing, threat checks, etc) and has made my last few games even more enjoyable. Now I'm grabbing saga boxes, starter decks, and excited for it. Thank you!

@TheGameLocker 4 месяца назад

That's awesome! Some of those nuances really do make a difference, I'm so glad you're enjoying it now!

@mrsuitcase9799 Год назад

Started playing the game a couple of weeks ago and thought I knew the rules - but this video really cemented what I knew and taught me a few things I didn't (e.g. questing simultaneously so that the Aragorn / Theodred combo doesn't require Aragorn to have already had a resource token waiting). Thank you. Continue doing these videos! Please!

Thanks Keneil! I debated how much of the material from the FAQ to include in this series, and decided to keep it to just the core set rulebooks and player cards (with a little dabbling in the cards found in the Starter Decks). But I'll definitely try to include rules clarifications from the FAQ where it's appropriate :).

I didn't go in depth about the game since I know how long it would take to explain, so I needed a good how to play video, and I remember you mentioning yours.

@TheGameLocker Год назад

Definitely won’t be ready by next week, but if you understood this video then reading the “Learn To Play” book will be a breeze, because you’ll quickly be able to see what the differences are in multiplayer. Generally speaking, several phases are done in turn order starting with the person holding the “first player” token, which is passed around every refresh phase. The tricky ones are the engagement phase and combat phase, so pay special attention to those in the rulebook. Have fun!
