Wow! Thank you for the video!! I’m excited to look at your other storage solution videos!
Amazing video. Thanks !!
Hello, can I play this game online with a friend?
Yes, you can.
Thanks for the tips and what cards to get but that food tip was extremely wrong.
I love Ryan Laukat games, and this is another good one. My game group played it just last night. We had a blast. I was surprised that all three of us managed to make it to town. I only made it because I drew the perfect card in the last turn to give me an extra move.
Great explanation, thank you very much!
You’re welcome.
Good paid promotion.
This was my own pledge, paid for out of my pocket.
@@TheMeepleMarathon good promotion regardless!
What about the negative trait cards?
As in traits that have a negative value or ones that have a take that element to them?
Traits that has a negative value.
The "so-man" is back!
weakened units cannot move...
Thank you for posting! Great tutorial:)
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Your solution seems to fit more than the folded space insert. I’ve actually been looking for a reboxing that showcased the folded space insert. It was an odd design choice to build it without consideration for the larger bits and boards.
Yeah, it's why I didn't go with the folded space insert myself. I have a few of them that I like, but usually I feel that I can do a better job with closed storage. Folded Space inserts are always so and stuff spills out easily.
I have the folded space insert and it fits everything okay. It’s completely flat with it all in so all the boards, map books, and rulebooks just lay loose on top and fill the remaining space causing a nice lid for the insert. The insert leaves enough room to fit the initiative board, and both enemy health boards on their sides against the box wall.
So sad that the construct miniatures don't come with the expansion box, that's kind of evil from cmon
I agree with you they should at least make it an extra buy so we can get it
Agreed, but not surprised from CMON.
Grosse daube la boîte, même pas de thermoformage. Edition dégueu...
I’m huge on Runebound, absolutely love it. I feel like I could really like this, but it has virtually no art. I see no readily accessible character art, no item art, not even any enemy art. That’s crazy to me. Not like I need to get super involved in themes or anything, but with pretty much no art, it just plays out like a numbers game without as much soul as it really could have. Hopefully future editions can fix that.
That was a major criticism for the first two hexplore it games. They have since increased the amount of art in the game. I've never played Part III: Sands of Shurax, but Part IV is a lot better as far as art is concerned.
@@TheMeepleMarathon That’s great to hear. I’ve haven’t looked into hexplore it until recently, but some illustration would really take it a long way. Like I said, I don’t need to get super involved in the art, but it’s really nice to have so that the game doesn’t end up feeling like you’re just robotically increasing/decreasing numbers and seeing how skill/combat checks work out. Yes there’s some flavor text, but it’s just not enough to complete the picture on its own.
@@miki49 the two campaign books that have been released help with the lack of art as well. Right now there is Klik’s Madness for Part I and Fall of the Ancients for Part II. The books are amazing and filled with art. I believe I did a video on the Kiki’s madness book if your interested.
@@TheMeepleMarathon I’ll def check it out 👌🏼 Heard good things about that campaign book, but I hope they still add more accessible art that’s readily seen surrounding the play area. They’d instantly have my purchase if I could simply see the cool look of my character that’s doing the sweet, on-theme ability that’s linked to them. It’s sounds meaningless, but it’s really not. People want to get at least a little enveloped in fantasy settings, it just i what it is
I can't wait to receive mine 🤩
I think the points you make are very fair. As a solo game, it really is a pure race to 20, but against an enemy who has overstatted and more powerful cards than you do. Board control is mostly to mitigate her reaching 40 lore. In a single player game it's not as relevant, but when you're playing a multiplayer game, it's vital. Since EVERY player has to reach 20 lore before Ursula reaches 40 lore. So you might be at 17 lore, but your ally is only at 3. So you can start to use the Battleground abilities to help them stabilize, use your characters to challenge Ursula's, and generally control the board for long enough that they can catch up to you.
I think the way to look at this current Illumineer's Quest is that it's a boss fight. Ursula is not playing the same game as you. Her cards are stronger, cheaper, and she gets to play more of them than you do. Multiplayer helps, as you'll have more cards played per turn, which evens the odds out a bit.
Thanks for the great playthrough! Items' use has been clarified in the latest rulebook: "Items give new actions that a Legend can perform and are discarded after use". So these are single-shot use.
I would love if you showed close up of the cards and whatever you point at. Great playthrough tho.
How many *hundreds of dollars* did this cost again, that the insert is such absolute shit?
I cant hear him....the ads are blaring loud though 😢
Same here, I had volume up full and could barely hear him
What are your thoughts on the best way to play this game with 3 players? Just picked it up at our board game bazar and the theme is prefect for this time of year.
You have to play with four players it says in the rulebook. If you go to greater than Games website, you can get the erratic card sports neural book. New story book you have to play with four players it says in the rulebook. If you go to greater than Games website, you can get the erratic card tiles storybook rule book. for free. Without the link, get it about two weeks in the mail.
How much did you pay for this ?
it was $25 on Amazon recently. I regret not buying it then because now it's $50. I'm sure it'll be pretty cheap around Black Friday.
Correct, I purchased it during Prime Days for $25. I'm sure it will come back down in the future. I was expecting an MSRP of $40, which is what I thought Heroe's Resistance was.
@@TheMeepleMarathon Yeah, now it's $50
This game is really fun! It’s basically solo solitaire, so also fun to play true solo.
WOOHOO!!!
Or that may be the only place to get the hero cards. Marvel vs zombies didn’t come with those unless you bought the small game
I was looking forward to see the cards .. bit disappointed
Didn’t know anything about this. Looks interesting.
Yeah i did not know what to put where on my own.
What happens if you dont use all tokens during a round?
If I remember correctly you just lose them if you don't use them. Similar to your hand in a deck building game.
I recall during the campaign someone mentioned this can be merged with the return of sinister six. Any idea actually how to do it? Judging by the content I don’t actually get how sinister six could be extended here
That is a great question. Not quite sure how that would work as the two dashboards are very different. If I find out I will let you know.
I think you most probably can’t… Which is ashamed. The sinister six was such great system but you can’t merge other villain into the system. What ashame
I’ve been having a hard time figuring out which equipment cards come in which box. It seems this box has equipment of course multiverse heroes in this box, then also equipment for the original marvel united core box and X-men core box. I guess that means the multiverse promo box has some equipment for past promo or expansion heroes? None of them seem available to purchase separately unfortunately.
There are some equipment cards for Seasons 1 & 2 in the stretch goals box.
I really do't understand the decision to NOT include inserts when the first 2 games came with excellent custom ones. It's really breaking the continuity in the trilogy and pushing buyers to scramble for storage solutions. Just a shitty shitty decision from Garphil Games.
This one has a lot of large player boards plus a large central board. I think they would have had to make the whole box bigger to include an insert and then it wouldn't match with the others.
Other than that one thing, this is a good tutorial!
You need to resolve the dice effects before the damage and defense....its important cause the order matters with some abilities and monsters
Very clear explanations, thanks for sharing!
hehe, yeah us east coast folks have been anxiously waiting for this massive delivery 😀
Bard is a massive buff for a 4+group as I played it. Tenacity Ballad is okay for team level 1-2, then the main song from team lv 3 should be Bolero as it helps ignore one blue die. With the sequence EEGEE you can get 3 turns with the song without moving notes. Also this syncs well with serenade of calmness(always 2 notes to choose). As a full support caracter you should choose serenade and instrument prof. From level 8 onwards, the best song is One-man Band(BEE)(sequence:EEBEE), which gives +1 sword and +1 shield for each instrument you have. Usually at level 8 you should at least have all 4 basic instruments, and sometimes 1-2 instruments of the 3 sets, which means that song should give everyone at least +4 sword and +4 shield). +4swords on average = 2 orange dice, and +4shield in general =2 green def dice (and even stronger when more instruments) Please use instrument proficiency because you can equip 1 more instrument on your body(and later it gives a yellow die on lv4, orange die on 6). You only have 7 slots but you need spaces for the rewards and for MANA POTIONS.(Please bring as many mana potions as you can) You can occasionally attacks the emy once you have the buff of one-man bard(but before that plz don't). A supporting bard is the weakest around level 4-6. (No attack buffs for team, songs are weak, serenade not strong enough yet) At lv6 your instrument proficiency gives you an orange die which helps your attack.(but you will not prefer attack in most cases) At lv7 serenade can remove all fire and ice, which is a huge effect At lv8 unlocks one-man band. Level 9 and 10 don't really change anything.(My buff already works well for my lv10 team though I am only lv8)
Thanks, this was very helpful!!
And thats how apes discovered fire 😂
best part of a new Red Raven game - the inevitable realization that the insert is a worthless afterthought. Extra teardown time and component damage free in every box
In 34:00, you mentioned that if there is a tie, you can choose. However, that is not correct. You must use the compass symbol, starting to the east and then going clockwise until you find one of your allies. The enemy will approach that ally. But accidentaly it is the mage, so no difference ind the gameplay.
I'm a little bit confused is this a how to play or a review? Giving your opinion on things you don't like about the game to people that are trying to learn it who most probably already have the game doesn't make any sense.
Thanks, awesome video. Seem obvious but I felt like there was a way to place it all, you found it. I put the "extra" 5 bricks in the gold , should be fine :)
Thanks for showing the collectors box compared to the original
I “spend” her ink like a player. I play the cards in order, and if I run out of her ink, the cards get discarded. Helps mitigate playing a lot of really powerful cards!
I can't wait for mine to arrive!
Hello! I also kickstarted this Emerald Edition and happened to watch this unboxing video while I impatiently waited. That’s when I heard you mention playing solo. I immediately wondered if it was my variant that I put up long ago. So I chased your older playthroughs and sure enough, that’s my variant! I was so excited to find that you had done playthroughs using it, as I need to watch refreshers to remember the variant myself. 😂 The Emerald version has really rekindled my love for the game and realize how much I missed it. Excited to dive back in, pun intended. I’m looking forward to dusting off the old solo variant and seeing if it works with the new emeralds. I’d love to hear if you try the old variant and if it still works. Let me know! - Jason (breathofj)
Thanks for the video!
You bet!
You mentioned links. Do you have those?
Yes, I've added them to the description.
