Rahdo Runs Through►►► Legends of Andor 

+Βασίλης Κάρκουλας noted... thanks

another was moving the same hour counter for both characters...great play through and i think i will get this

yeah it's a real shame the didn't have a more consistent numbering scheme on the board...

yes, farm dies immediately when an enemy moves into its space! did i goof that up in the vid? if so, can you tell at roughly what time stamp that was? also correct about the witch. oops, l those are 2 big goofs. again, if you can give me a rough time stamp for when that happened, i'll add notes :)

***** No prob :) Farmer: 23:05, witch: 20:15

Marek Zitnansky awesome thanks! notes added :)

nice! good luck on the 2nd mission... it's a HUGE jump in difficulty. remember to be judicious in how often you attack :)

+Angshuman Chakraborty noted... thanks

+Paulo Renato Yay, my first goof! I feel I have arrived.

+Osiris Zoran this is a very old video, i've been doing static cam versions of ever vid i've done now for the last few years :)

+rahdo did not expect a reply from you so quickly but I suppose that is correct as I've been able to watch your more recent ones :) keep up the good work brother I do enjoy your reviews (side note: my GF name is Jen also so I giggle a little every time you mention the name in your vids)

They sort of follow a spiral pattern, but they are not quite regular enough for it to be predictable. :(

it was a goof... she should also lose 2 health... sorry for the delay this got buried and just now came to the surface again :\

Love is never a goof!! :p

In our rulebook it says 2 willpower or 2 gold coins, or one of each. So if you fight alone you get two things, which two you decide. If you fight together you split the loot. :)

The card reads "increases his power TO 10" Richard misread it :p

Love it with two. Just take control of two people

+robbmh87 Forever alone.

+HolyKripple ha, nope. I have a few gaming groups.

JustDavid sorry about that!

no prob, i should have maybe stressed that point more strongly in the video. basically, you get a certain number of chapters to determine whether the story ends is triumph or tragedy. the end of a day signals a new chapter, as does the end of a fight :)

It does make it way too expensive if all the players and monsters were figurines. This game is also fit for casual gamers who would never pick it up if the price was much higher. I certainly wouldn't.

if you control multiple characters (like how i played here) but there's no "one hero only" mode

Simon De Meyere yup, during team fights, players add their rolls together. maybe you'd want to check this out for more details: www.boardgamegeek.com/filepage/87699/combined-rules :)

Yeah thanks for that. Winning wasn't possible without this.

The sentence is very vague indeed, but after some rereading I figured it out. :) You choose each individual's highest die, and then add them. It was pretty much impossible to beat otherwise, as you pointed out :)

i would think so. the first mission of the game is a sort of odd "step by step" tutorial, so in theory you'd be fine, but i'd recommend it anyway :)

@@rahdo Thanks!

+robbmh87 correct :)

We just played the first time and the wizard beat the baddies a lot faster than the warrior did because the wizard upped their strength every chance they got.

Priscilla Basilio yup, still have it, and ever excited that the expansions are finally going to be released in english :)

He did it correctly... the way you are doing it you are adding up the strength of the fighters twice and that makes no sense... it would make every fight were 2 or 3 characters participate very uneven and almost impossible to lose! Check the rules here: www.thamesandkosmos.com/manuals/full/691745_andor_manual.pdf Page 3 and 4 explains this

Ok Thnx!!

the first 200 or so games i covered didn't have static camera options, the next thousand have. so you're unfortunately looking at one of those first 200 here :)

Well true, but still this video is 33 minutes long...... have guess why he talks fast.

Ha

mrpobear nope, original fantasy universe

mrpobear I thought this same thing at first..

it's not one day, it's one "chapter" in the overall story of the game

A fight takes one hour of a day, and the monster advances the story because otherwise there's be no tension/

hahahaha damn yes :)

+Lars Weg timestamps please

***** i kid you not!

***** Dont get me wrong. Its not you, your review was great. And the game looks beautilful. But even Monopoly is deeper than this.

+Dimitris Tripakis Hmm--interesting. Have you played it? Not being sarcastic--really asking. Andor is definitely not for everyone but it is very strategic. If anything that is usually the complaint--it's too much a dry, thinky-puzzle and not enough a fun, thematic fantasy dice-roller. Most of the time the theme can kind of blend into the background a little bit and it becomes very much an action-management game ala something like Pandemic. The game isn't about confronting and defeating monsters--you can ALWAYS do that. It's about managing the legend track as you balance defending the castle with having enough time to complete the objective. I've never lost this game any other way but running out of time on the legend track. Not saying it's good or bad--that's going to depend on your taste. But it's certainly more thinky than most of it's fantasy-hero compatriots. And WAY deeper than anything like Monopoly, Risk, etc.

Everything is way deeper than Monopoly (except perhaps Snakes and Ladders). Risk, I dont know. I think Risk is more strategic than this game. It presents the player with many options to choose what to do (that is the definition of a good strategy game). Legends of Andor does not present a variety of choices. There is only one basic choice = defend the castle or go for the bonuses ? So you balance on this question only. Good strategy games have many questions to balance, not just one.

+Dimitris Tripakis I agree.

we've never found setup of legend 3 to take more than a few minutes. if you'd like a newer runthrough (that one is many years old) you can check ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RPuZNePaOZE.html

My apologies if you really are just slow but I follow what he's saying just fine. Perhaps you should use the RU-vid speed adjustment feature to match your comprehension ability.

Jon Reed ouch...kinda salty.
