Vindication Tutorial & Playthrough - JonGetsGames 

Up until now, i've always thought there was a bracchiosaurus on the cover instead of that broken monument remains. Thanks for an awesome clarification of the game, Jon!

Hadn’t played this in a bunch of months, so I dialed up your video. Thanks for creating awesome content. Video was a great and FUN refresher of the rules and gameplay.

Great playthrough video - thank you Jon. I haven’t seen your stuff before but will definitely be checking it out in the future. Now I just have to get my hands on this game!!

Just received incredible news about the current Kickstarter so I’m back for my 4th viewing. Thanks Jon for all the hard work you put into your videos!

Excellent as usual Jon. Loved watching it!

I really like your videos, Jon. Thanks! Vindication is a pretty complex game to learn at first, but I feel reasy to go about the rulebook now, thanks to you.

This got me into really wanting to pick this game up... good playthrough! :D

Awesome video. Really stepping up your game at demo’ing games! Nice work!

Awesome playthrough! I feel like I'm ready to play this :)

Always a pleasure to revise games with Jon

A great playthrough John. Very rarely sit down and watch 1h+ playthroughs, but will gladly watch yours. Great job :)

Great play through. Looks like an instant back now!

Hi Jon, your playthroughs are just incredibly helpful and this one is no exception. Picked up Vindication recently, played it yesterday and absolutely love it. Thank you for all you do, it is much appreciated.

What a unique and beautiful game, that you make more accessible. Thank you, I enjoyed you run through.

Now I'm REALLY excited for this game after watching this playthrough. Thanks so much!

Wow you are really good at this walkthrough - thank you! I’m a subscriber now!!

Really useful! I am playing this for the first time this evening (UK). I want to win a game for once! Thanks.

Great video, great job, helped a lot to understand how the game is working.

I don't think this game is for me, but i *really* do the love Potential / Influence / Conviction interaction with the common / heroic attributes. The entire system and concept there is really elegant, thematic, and cool. The game is also beautiful!

Really nicely done video

Thanks. This really help me understand the game.

Love this review. Thanks!

Ty for the video, love it!

Thanks Jon

Great game. We play mostly 2-3 players. Use most of the expansion except the treachery and boss monster. Backed the expansion and after a few plays two of my groups backed base game as well

Well done

The way you talk reminds me of William Shatner! Makes the tutorials even better!

Ok. So little late to the game on this on (pun intended) and making a comment here as most of the comments here already were from 9-12 months ago. Got the game last year, tried to muddle through it without watching your video and felt overwhelmed with so many things to keep track of so didn’t really enjoy the game. In preparation of possibly backing the chronicles KS, decided to pull out the game again and give it another try. Set it up, watched this play through and tried the game again. This time, it was much more enjoyable since you did such a great play through that demoed all the nuances and scoring opportunities I didn’t see the first time. Great run through and thanks for ONLY playing the base game. Too many times play throughs put in expansions which are great once you know the base game but make it harder to understand the base game itself. Again, great job.

Thanks Jon. Your video helped me decide on whether to purchase this not.

Thank you

At 53.11 the Green player activated companion Venoa to adjust the cost of the better mount. However, it looked like that companion reduced the cost by 1 (the pic looks like it indicates -1) instead of making the cost 1. Which is right?

Minor issue - at 1:06:15, Green should have revealed another endgame trigger card for the trigger token they took.

This was a great playthrough that helped cement the rules in my head. I will be more interested in watching your videos from this point! To be honest the thumbnails never really grabbed me.

1:14:56 Don't think I've ever seen your hair sneak into frame like that, haha!

What do you use to capture your audio? The onboard mic to your video camera?

Jon - at 52:58 (and earlier when the Green Player picked up Beast Mistress Veroa) you mention that upgrading the mount only costs 1 strength. I believe, though, it says its ‘-1’ not straight up ‘1’, right? So wouldn’t that mean its a cost of 2?

Blue squeaking out the win!

Doesnt herk count for strength and courage to tie for strength proficiency?

Such a great playthrough, I watched it twice (months apart). 53:30 So glad they nerfed Beast Mistress Veroa. Now she can use that only once per turn so that upgrade would have cost 7 strength instead of 3.

Kudos to the blue player 🤣🤣🤣🤝

Any good games similar to this? (Euro/minimalist rpg/adventure)

Seems like long turns. Lot to do. Is there much down time? Feels like you could leave and come back after a while?

In the rule book it says you may upgrade your mount only once per turn. I noticed you upgraded the mount using the command post several times on the same turn. Is that a mistake?

At 1:10:40 Ga'Nok card is interpreted as saying EVERY TIME you get a reroll when it actually says if you roll A die.. Etc I don't think it allows the player to get more than one reroll per turn. If I'm wrong, wouldn't that be rather OP?

Blue forgoth to pay for his red companion at 1:19:00. This allowed him to win the game.

I really do think they meant to name this “redemption”, not vindication.

Cant honour yourself..

the game looks drab to me
