I can't believe it is more than 10 years later, but am just now getting into the game, and your videos have been such an important part of starting to learn the game, and to love it! Thanks so much Rodney!!

@WatchItPlayed 2 года назад

I'm so glad you're finding these helpful! One of my favorite games - have a great time adventuring!

@jstjeff 11 лет назад

Just wanted to add my thanks Rodney. I have Multiple Sclerosis and cognitive function is one of my major symptoms. This makes learning new things a bit of a challenge at times and has made learning new games a bit intimidating. Watching you play through this made me comfortable enough that I know I would enjoy (as well as understand) this game, so look forward to playing it when I am able to get it.

@GodsPoetryProductions 3 года назад

I have multiple sclerosis as well and I bought this game with the complete cycle of mirkwood plus expansions because I wanted to play something to take my mind off the disease. Still learning the game and it's great. Stay strong MS warrior because MS is not our identity.

@MarkMicallefOnGoogle 10 лет назад

The missions get much harder after the first one. You should be able to beat e introductory mission even with a very basic deck. There are also more missions you can download. Which heroes did you play with?

@Guzzer_78 10 лет назад

Only played one game and it did take me a while as I was watching videos and reading the rule book as i went. I followed the manual. So I played with the Tactics deck with Legolas, Gimli, Thalin. I was struggling to quest as my willpower was always lower than the current threat level. Plus a few times I had treachery cards that 'exhausted' my heroes until I pay two resource tokens from its own pool. So was on the backpedal the whole game. Will try and play it again solo tonight see how I go and will look into these downloadable missions. Do you own a lot of the AP/expansions?

@RowantarotBlogspot 5 лет назад

I like a thematic explanation for mechanisms (where possible) because it helps me remember. Thematically, how would you explain how 'committing to the quest' causes characters to become 'exhausted' and unable to fight or defend?

@WatchItPlayed 5 лет назад

I would just think of them as being very dedicated to that specific task (while others were preparing to fight or defend themselves from attacks, these questing characters were packing their gear, gathering provisions, exploring, etc).

@mrdd5433 4 года назад

hello from 2020. Love your play throughs. Your'e sense of humor is like mine; "silly" as my family tells me. One question: Shouldn't Thalin's ability of "dealing 1 damage to each enemy as it is revealed by the encounter deck" supposed to put a damage no not only the Dol Guldur Orcs, but also on the Forest Spider also? Or you didn't do it because the Forest Spider was already there at the tart of the game? (I guess that's two questions)

@WatchItPlayed 4 года назад

Hey Dale, it's been long enough since I shot this, that I'd need a time stamp to double check the section you are referring to. Thanks!

@mrdd5433 4 года назад

@@WatchItPlayed Thank you for your quick response. I was hoping that wasn't the answer, but oh well!!! Again; enjoy your videos. I like watching your children grow up....

@danielkozma5665 7 лет назад

Another question about Objective Cards in the Escape from Dol Guldur: while it is guarded it is considered as "Guarded" not "Unclaimed," right? If so, the Dungeon Jailor isn't able to send it to the encounter deck. If I defeat it's guard I am not forced to claim the card, right? So it remains in the Staging Area undefended until I claim it and this status is when the Objective is "Unclaimed" (and the Jailor can send it away). Am I right, or I'm missing something?

@WatchItPlayed 7 лет назад

Hey Daniel - while I do try to answer all game rules related questions, I tend to avoid trying to cover card specific rules (as it would be too many for me to remember/cover as one person :) ). For that, you might want to check Board Game Geek or with the publisher directly. Sorry I could assist more personally in this case.

@matthewhoover622 3 года назад

2 questions. Can one character defend multiple enemies at one time? And if one of your heroes dies do you keep that hero's current resources or do they get discarded

@WatchItPlayed 3 года назад

You can only defend against one enemy, unless it's card effect says otherwise. You lose that characters current resources if it dies.

@mattwilbat7570 4 года назад

Not sure if you will read this, I just realized how long ago you posted this. I just started playing the game. After an enemy is "engaged" in combat and after my attack step, the enemy is damaged ( for example he has 3 damage tokens out of 9), does he return to the staging area? or does he remain engaged into the next round and should his threat level not be counted next round?

@WatchItPlayed 4 года назад

He remains engaged, so his threat level does not count!

@fingolfin75 10 лет назад

Congratulations on this excellent guide! One thing not so clear to me. Hope you can help me! If I have say 4 progression tokens scored by having more willing power than threat power in the previous phase, once I start the travel phase, I have a location which point is 3. Can i use the 4 progression tokens I have already to complete the active location and discard that card? If so, what happens to the progression tokens? Do they all go back to the search deck or just 1 that has exceeded the 3 progression tokens needed to clear the active location? Thank you! Claudio

@WatchItPlayed 10 лет назад

Any progress tokens you have "must" be put on the location you have traveled to. Any left overs can then be put on the scenario card. Whenever you travel, that locations must soak up all progress tokens first before you can put any on the scenario quest card. So in your example, you put 3 on the active location and discard it, then put the last one on the scenario quest card. Hope that helps.

@fingolfin75 10 лет назад

Ah great! Thank you so much for your reply! Only one more thing if I can ask! What happens in case an enemy can't engage 'cause his score is lower than mine? Do I skip to the refresh page straight away or I can still attack enemies that haven't engaged me at first? Thank you very much!!!

@WatchItPlayed 10 лет назад

fingolfin75 You can't fight enemies in the staging area, but the rules tell you that you may "choose" to force a single enemy to engage you each turn, even if it is above your threat level.

@leebroderick9668 8 лет назад

The travel phase is after the questing phase. If I understood Fingolfin75's example correctly, I thought all 4 progress tokens would go directly onto the quest. He then travelled to a new location. In the next questing phase, up to three progress tokens would be placed on that location (which is now 'active', having been moved from the staging area during the travel phase of the previous round) with any more than that again going directly onto the quest. Have I been playing this incorrectly?

@WatchItPlayed 8 лет назад

I think part of the confusion here is just that it's hard to put into words exactly what we're trying to show each other, so something is probably getting lost in translation. In short, if you have a "location" card in play that you "traveled to", it becomes the active location and all quest tokens must be played to it until it is resolved, before you can add quest tokens to the main quest. If you have no "traveled to" location currently, than progress tokens go directly to the quest.

@nikoskalog8862 2 года назад

just one question, when the Orcs were revealed you placed 2 damage points to Gimli but you didnt take into account his defence (which is 2). So the defence doesnt matter in that kind of scenario? Because if it does, than Gimli doesnt take any damage, the 2 damage points from the Orcs are ''blocked'' by his defence.?

Please provide a time stamp for the section you are referring to, and I'd be happy to try to help.
