You missed a step in the set up. When you take the Delorean out of the box you are supposed to push it along the ground while making car noises and then pretend it takes off while saying "Where we're going we don't need roads." then hum the theme song.
Thank you soooooo much. This was super helpful. My brain was about to explode with 2 children getting bored by my inferior efforts to process the instructions while they waited patiently for 8 seconds at a time. So appreciate your detailed walk throughs!
This game brings tears to my eyes. I used to watch BTTF all the time when I was a kid in the 80s, and you can tell the makers really poured love into this board game. I can’t wait to play.
I was confused when reading the physical instructions how the game worked and I got pretty frustrated lol. But I came across this video and it helped a lot. Thanks!
if you play while having BTTFuture movie music on the background the game will be much more fun! We always do this for all our games! Marvel United Star Wars, Back to the Future, etc 🥳
Thank you for creating this -- I've owned the game for years, but had been waiting to play it with my children until they had seen the movie, which they just did last weekend for the first time. Now thanks to you, I'm ready to play it with them this coming weekend!
I love your videos. They are so helpful in helping me decide if I should buy a game or not. Some games seen so complicated just looking at the instructions, but seeing you set then up and give examples of how to play are extremely helpful. Your the best at explaining the game without being too over the top. But still very entertaining and fun. My family pre-ordered this game for my father's day present today. Can't wait for it to come & play. Keep up the good work!
Thank you so much for making these videos. I didn't even have to read the game rules because you already covered everything. As a newbie to board games, your videos help me a lot!
Finally got the game a couple of days ago and I can't wait to play it today! They did a fantastic job packaging the game. All the components are in their own ziploc baggies to make storage super easy. And everything looks amazing. I also bought the dice through timer game that just came out on Father's day & that is also an excellent game. And as always, Rodney did an excellent job on both videos. We really enjoy watching your videos, they really help us to see how play when instructions are sometimes less than clear. Keep up the good work!
I think the reason why it has the subtitle 'Back in Time' is because the Back to Future theme song "Back in Time" actually mentions this game: Don't bet your future, on one roll of the dice Better remember, lightning never strikes twice Please don't drive at eighty-eight, don't want to be late again So take me away, I don't mind But you better promise me, I'll be back in time Gotta get back in time!
Been looking forward to this since I first heard about it a few months back. My favorite movie of all time, a design team that truly knows how to handle IP games, and a pre painted Delorean. You better believe I've pre-ordered it.
MY BEST BUDDY IN THE WORLD HAD US STARTING BIFF IN THE TOWN CENTER AND WE HAD LIKE THREE TROUBLE CARDS ON THE BOARD AT ANY GIVEN TIME. wE WERE PLAYING FOR LIKE 7 HOURS LIKE THAT LOL. thanks FOR THE INFO
Thanks for another great video. Quite a few good looking IP games coming out. Watched your Jungle Cruise video and that looks like fun too! Ravensburger also has a cooperative BTTF game is coming out in June called Back To The Future: Dice Through Time, hoping you’ll have a video for that one as well.
I love how faithful it is to the movie! I absolutely love the Archie comic-esque artwork as well! Definitely picking this up when my game shop have it!
A GOOD INTERPRETATION OF THE ORIGINAL MOVIE Thanks for the detail walkthrough without which it would take ages to get this game started, i wish you and family great health and all the best.
I got this game for Christmas. Looked up how to play. Thank you so much. I got really confused. This helped out a lot. The only issue is Einstein wasn't in 1955 until the second movie the dog was copernicus in the first one. Also Jennifer wasn't in 1955 at all. But other then that it's super cool to see this game
I'm pretty sure the creators of the game were aware that Einstein and Jennifer weren't in 1955, but they presumably wanted to make the game playable by up to four players, so didn't have many other options.
Watch It Played definitely. They seem to have really captured some of the themes really well! And BTW, we all know that going vroom vroom with the Delorean is part of the set up so no redo is necessary. Do the wheels roll? (BTW: ordered his and hers Watch it Played Tee shirts from Tee Spring! So hopefully at BGG Con we can see you and model them!)
Watch It Played I went ahead and placed a preorder. I just watched again, and we like coop games and I think this one is going to be getting a lot of play time. So it will be coming to a Theater Near me!
I really hope 'rolling Biffs' becomes a thing. Can we make that a thing? Break a dish, lose the lottery, bad dice rolls....... "Oh, man, I rolled Biffs."
Really liking the artwork for this game, Funko seem to put a lot of money into making their games look good. Seems like a fun co-op that brings back the feeling of the film. Also, small error, on your board for number of players, you say '2 to 4 players' rather than '2 or 4 players', though it is visual on the board so its fairly obvious what it is.
Hello Rodney. We played this following your How To but came back here to clarify some rules 😅 1. At 12:15, you mean I can exhaust multiple power tiles with modify/reroll on one challenge I'm attempting, or you're just showing an example on the difference between those two tiles 2. At 15:35, Skateboard "Exhaust this item to turn 1 Biff into Courage during a challenge roll". Do I exhaust the item after I see the result of the roll or before I roll? Is it like gambling the item in case there will be Biff in the result... Or there is Biff, I will exhaust this item. I'm confused about the "during" in the text. 😅😂 Thank you!
On a power card. One lightning equals two lightning. Can u resolve the card so two lightnings = two hearts to move the cube up the love meter? Because around 12:39 in the video, you only moved the heart 3 spaces.
If you have that tile which converts 1 wild to 2 wild, those 2 wild can be anything you want, including 2 hearts. At 12:39 I has showing a new example and just using the dice, not the tile. Hope that helps!
@@duckielove2286 Take your time with it, give the video another watch if you need to. Sometimes it takes playing a bit of a practice round to see if you understand everything.
Hi, nice video. Greetings fron Mexico. When the orange cube moves to the next turn all players plays (by sub-turns)? Or only one player plays and then orange cube has to move again
Hi Edgar, I’m travelling right now, so can’t easily rematch to confirm for you, but if you check the video again, the wording should hopefully make it clear.
Hi Rodney, question for you: if a "Trouble" card says we can't modify dices results, I can still use the "Re-roll All" power to re-roll dices? Or the "Trouble" card limitation is more important?
Great instructions, this really helped. 👍 I have two questions though please. What happens when you draw an opportunity card for a specific location and that location already has one on it? And, does your character *have* to stop at a location with a trouble or opportunity card on it and complete the challenge, or can you move freely around the board and pick and choose the challenges you want to take on?
I don't know the answer to the first question, but for the second question: you do not have to stop. You can freely move around the board and choose the challenges you want to take on. I'll see if I can find an answer to the first question.
@@WatchItPlayed Great scott!!! That's awesome, thank you so much for taking time to answer me. I think that's it all covered. Time to go.... Back to the Future! 👍
Does the Turn Tracker move at the start of any one person's turn or at the start of a rotation of turns? Like if I move the piece at the start of my turn, and then my turn ends, does the next person move it once and so on? Or is it at the start of the first person's turn?
Sorry I didn’t get one thing, the round cube must be moved to the right every time one player starts their turn, or just in the end of the round after all players made their moves? Great video
We just played played out first round and altho we made a mistake by not doing 'rerolls'... It was awesome! Such a great game with back to the future pop culture at every turn! If honestly recommend your players watch the first movie before playing this as the references will be lost on them! - not that there are people out there that haven't seen the movie! Ps, the game beat us first time round!!
Just to be sure about the turn tracker phase. I hear you say "from then on everytime this phase is resolved in the future, you move the token one spot to the right", but... Is this phase resolved for each player as they take their turn? Or do all players play one round together and then move the token to the right? I believe every nect players turn the token is moved one spot, but I want to be sure when we start playing. ;-)
I’m traveling, so can’t easily check the video, but I’m confident that after the game play overview (around the 3 minute mark), this clarifies that’s the turn tracker phase is part of a players ‘turn’. Which means that on each player’s turn, they resolve that phase. Have fun playing!
Thank you for this so much! I got the game for myself for Christmas but have been so intimidated by the instructions (I'll admit I was drinking every time I looked at them) that I haven't played yet! The roommate and I are going to take it for a spin tonight. I'm so excited! I'm now subscribed, and I look forward to watching your other videos.
I have a couple of questions. 1. If I move to a location with a opportunity card and a trouble card with the same roll requirement (say a speed symbol) do I need to roll for each card? Or does rolling on speed symbol count for both cards? 2. When I get a power card is it unusable until the next turn?
1) You resolve that kind of challenge like other challenges (as explained here: th-cam.com/video/16R4e-YUrvc/w-d-xo.html) 2) Those are 2 different challenges, and each challenge is resolved separately. So a die you roll in one challenge, can't be spent at that time on another challenge. 3) You'll find that explained here: th-cam.com/video/16R4e-YUrvc/w-d-xo.html Hope that helps.
so on the turn tracker, does each player do the slot in that round of turns and then you move it over one slot. or does 1 player do the first slot then 2nd does the next 3rd...ect. i dont know if thats confusing, im just trying to figure out if each player playing will pull a trouble card and movement or if it was just the 1st player that does it.
Each player-except the first player-begins their turn by moving the Turn Tracker Cube one space to the right. The first player of the game will start on either the 2P, 3P, or 4P space, depending on the number of players in the game.
@@WatchItPlayed ok. I'm still leaning how to play the game. Me and my wife tried after watching this video. We obviously did some things wrong. But with 2p it seemed like we were running out of turns before even coming close to accomplishing anything
I'm hoping you can settle a disagreement, since the instructions aren't explicit about this. At around 7:45, you mention, "...as long as you have some [power tiles] remaining, you can attempt, and re-attempt, any actions you want." If I have 4 available power tiles, and I am in a location of a Challenge... Influencing Love, for example... can I exhaust 2 tiles to roll 2-dice attempt at the Challenge, complete all the stages of rolls/re-rolls/etc., gain rewards and/or suffer penalties of that 2-dice attempt, and then flip over 2 more tiles to use in a subsequent repeat of a 2-dice attempt at the same Challenge without moving out and then back into that board location? Otherwise, great video. Thank you for explaining it so well, since it is rather complex the first time through.
Correct. You don't have to move out and then move back in. You could select 2 tiles, attempt the challenge, and then immediately after select 2 other tiles for the same challenge. Hope that helps!
Awesome game! Challenging to beat, but fun! Just to clarify: After rolling once for a challenge, I can reroll the non-Biff dice as many times as I want until I quit /all dice are Biffs? When playing the game, I was under the impression that I only get one reroll.
@@WatchItPlayed Fake video alert! I can't believe it, the Internet is full of fake video, I need to disconnect my computer from this Internet! Seriously though, it is these bits of extra effort you put in, whether it's the box flip, the humor, that makes it a joy to watch, and brings a smile to my face, beyond the actual content of the video, thank you
Hi David, as the video mentions, it's for 2-4 players. It also provides the instructions for what you change, based on whether you have 2, 3 or 4 players. Hope it's helpful!
I am also having this issue! Amazon had it for pre order but never sent it and now say they have no idea when or if they will get it back I. Stock and for some reason can not find out?
What is the purpose of there being 3 spaces at the end of the DeLorean track? Is it possible for the car to get pushed back, meaning having it at the furthest of the three spaces is beneficial?
@@WatchItPlayed Thanks for the response! I wasn't actually expecting you to respond on this year old video, especially not so quickly lol. You're the best
Hey Rodney Smith, if I've taken my turn but didn't use all of my power tokens can other players in my location make us of my unused tokens to assist them? Or does it have to be from a player who hasn't taken a turn yet?
I'm sure I could read the comments and get my answer, and get my answer, but I'm lazy. Is the game not officially released? I want to make sure I pre-ordered the Right game. Thanks so much! Love your videos!
I have two questions. Does each person move the turn tracker or does the first player move it every time it is their turn (making it rounds and not individual turns)? and 2nd. If the trouble card says that Loraine and George can't move (using movement cards or excorted by a player) mean that Marty's special power then no longer works, or can Marty still move Loraine the 2 paces closer to him?
Hey Katie, each player-except the first player-begins their turn by moving the Turn Tracker Cube one space to the right. I do by best to answer all rules questions on the games I cover, but I avoid individual card effects, as that's a level of detail beyond what I can manage across all the videos I do. I'd suggest checking the rules forum for the game on BoardGameGeek or the publishers website. My sense of it, is that if there is an effect saying that George and Lorraine can't move, than Marty would not be able to move them. I hope you can find your answer - have fun playing!
10:45 I played this with my wife the other night and we got confused in a rule that states that we can't use more than one die of the same color. But in the video, you use two tiles of the same color. Can anyone clarify? Also, for the modify that makes 1 wild into 2 wilds, do we just apply that for one die or the whole roll?
@@dzy2412 Hey Dzy, my copy says: "You may not roll more than TWO dice of any one color during a Challenge attempt". In your question above, you mention: "a rule that states that we can't use more than ONE die of the same color". Just wondering if we're seeing different things.
Oh I see. I read it incorrectly. One more question, if you don't mind. For the tile that makes 1 wild into 2 wilds, does that apply to all wilds in that challenge attempt? Or just one die?
Did you Try allready JAWS?. AMAZING. As I love Movies I hope this will came to Spain soon. Between this one and Horrified which one you would choose? Or can they have together???. Thanks.
I really love this board game but the turn tracker still confuses me. I believe there's a line in the rules that says something like "every player, except the first, moves the turn tracker at the start of their turn". does it just mean at the VERY first turn or does that player not activate the turn tracker for the entirety of the game? it feels like we never have enough time to resolve a game if the turn tracker moves on every turn but maybe we're just bad lol
1. If Marty is in town square and Lorraine is at doc Browne’s house and he uses his special ability, can he move her to George’s house or Hill Valley high? He can’t move her into the town square but those two squares being adjacent rather than diagonal are nearer to him? 2. If using Jennifer’s special ability must you move the other character the most direct route (ie through the centre) or can you move them around the outside?
1. Yes, Marty could move Lorraine 1 step closer so that she is now adjacent to Town Square (and Marty). 2. It is fine for Jennifer to move another player around the outside, as long as it is in the direction that is moving that character closer to her.
Hey Suns, don't feel stupid. I need a little more help with the context though. What do you mean by "what do you do"? In other words, what do you think has to happen? Do you have a time stamp for in the video to point me towards the part that is causing concern?
Man, Prosperous Hall has been knocking it out of the park with these games lately. They’re very unique. However, I’m not the biggest fan of the dot eyes, and the event names are so clinically clean that it’s boring. “Scare George to Act” and “Biff Puts Sign on George’s Back”, really? How about “Invasion!” And “Kick Me!” Or “Pranked” or something other than a flat explanation of what’s happening.
Hey there, I'm always happy to try to help with rules questions, but if the answer is provided in the video, than I have to direct you there. You'll find an index in the description to help you find the section you might be looking for.
Thanks!!! Although i watched it a couple times, It still doesn't answer the question that I was looking for. I will have to check the rulebook thanks again!
@@WatchItPlayedoh ok , so at the end of the your turn you immediately flip your tiles over. I thought once every player has gone you then collectively flip all of your tiles. Thanks so much!!! You really do great work!!!
Power tiles! Earn them early on and setup your teammates to work together on certain rolls. I like Einstein to crowd control Biff, then move in position for Jennifer to whistle me over on her turn to help complete any big rolls.
Watch It Played perfect. Thank you. Also, with Docs helmet. “Anytime you withdraw one movement card, draw two” What is my turn states to draw movement cards? Do I draw four?
@@samgardner4667 Happy to help! That said, I avoid getting into card specific questions. That's a little more detail than I can maintain across all the games I cover. For that, you might want to check with the publisher directly, or the forums on BGG for the game.
@@jayvalentine2046 I avoid giving reviews - what I like might be different than what you would like - I'd suggest watching both videos and see what appeals most to your personal tastes :)

So take me away, I don't mind

Really liking the artwork for this game, Funko seem to put a lot of money into making their games look good. Seems like a fun co-op that brings back the feeling of the film.
Also, small error, on your board for number of players, you say '2 to 4 players' rather than '2 or 4 players', though it is visual on the board so its fairly obvious what it is.
Fair catch!
So you can’t play with 3 players ?? Just to confirm
@@bhbnnc You can, 3 players is on one side of the board, 2 or 4 players is on the other side.

Hello, eh?
Hello Rodney. We played this following your How To but came back here to clarify some rules 😅
1. At 12:15, you mean I can exhaust multiple power tiles with modify/reroll on one challenge I'm attempting, or you're just showing an example on the difference between those two tiles
2. At 15:35, Skateboard
"Exhaust this item to turn 1 Biff into Courage during a challenge roll". Do I exhaust the item after I see the result of the roll or before I roll? Is it like gambling the item in case there will be Biff in the result... Or there is Biff, I will exhaust this item. I'm confused about the "during" in the text. 😅😂
Thank you!
1. Yep! th-cam.com/video/16R4e-YUrvc/w-d-xo.html

On a power card. One lightning equals two lightning. Can u resolve the card so two lightnings = two hearts to move the cube up the love meter? Because around 12:39 in the video, you only moved the heart 3 spaces.
If you have that tile which converts 1 wild to 2 wild, those 2 wild can be anything you want, including 2 hearts. At 12:39 I has showing a new example and just using the dice, not the tile. Hope that helps!
Right on cue after watching Tom's review
I saw he liked it quite a bit too!
I should've watched this video before reading the instructions lol. Thank you for simplifying the instructions for my son and I.
My pleasure - have a great time playing!
Hi Rodney! Hope you are well 🙂🙂
I read the rules thinking this was heavy. Thanks for the rundown. Great scott I'm excited to play.
I hope you have a great time with it Josh!
Still trying to digest everything still haven’t fully figured everything out
@@duckielove2286 Take your time with it, give the video another watch if you need to. Sometimes it takes playing a bit of a practice round to see if you understand everything.
Hi, nice video. Greetings fron Mexico. When the orange cube moves to the next turn all players plays (by sub-turns)? Or only one player plays and then orange cube has to move again
Hi Edgar, I’m travelling right now, so can’t easily rematch to confirm for you, but if you check the video again, the wording should hopefully make it clear.
Hi Rodney, question for you: if a "Trouble" card says we can't modify dices results, I can still use the "Re-roll All" power to re-roll dices? Or the "Trouble" card limitation is more important?
Found the answer from the designer if someone comes across this comment: boardgamegeek.com/thread/2514258/does-modifying-mean-re-rolling
Great instructions, this really helped. 👍
I have two questions though please.
What happens when you draw an opportunity card for a specific location and that location already has one on it?
And, does your character *have* to stop at a location with a trouble or opportunity card on it and complete the challenge, or can you move freely around the board and pick and choose the challenges you want to take on?
I don't know the answer to the first question, but for the second question: you do not have to stop. You can freely move around the board and choose the challenges you want to take on. I'll see if I can find an answer to the first question.
Got an answer on the opportunity card drawn for the same spot... just add it to that spot. Now you’ll have two potential challenges there.
@@WatchItPlayed Great scott!!! That's awesome, thank you so much for taking time to answer me.
I think that's it all covered. Time to go.... Back to the Future! 👍
Looks like an interesting game. As a side note, I get a strong franco-belgian ligne claire vibe from the illustrations.
Reminded me of Herge.
@@WatchItPlayed True: Marty looks a lot like Tintin in the game.
Whoa- this is heavy!
You're the best, Rodney! Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed Nathan!
This looks far out man! Thanks for the video, great job as always!
“What was the meaning of that?” “It was right in front of him.”
Thanks for the kind comment Dany!
Amazing game! How do we play 3 players?
It's been a little while since I shot this, but the video should cover the changes to setup for the various player counts.
Does the Turn Tracker move at the start of any one person's turn or at the start of a rotation of turns? Like if I move the piece at the start of my turn, and then my turn ends, does the next person move it once and so on? Or is it at the start of the first person's turn?
At the start of each players turn. Hope that helps!
Sorry I didn’t get one thing, the round cube must be moved to the right every time one player starts their turn, or just in the end of the round after all players made their moves? Great video
At the start of each player's turn.
@@WatchItPlayed thanks for the reply :)
We just played played out first round and altho we made a mistake by not doing 'rerolls'... It was awesome! Such a great game with back to the future pop culture at every turn! If honestly recommend your players watch the first movie before playing this as the references will be lost on them! - not that there are people out there that haven't seen the movie! Ps, the game beat us first time round!!
Glad you enjoyed - good luck on attempt number 2!
Just to be sure about the turn tracker phase. I hear you say "from then on everytime this phase is resolved in the future, you move the token one spot to the right", but... Is this phase resolved for each player as they take their turn? Or do all players play one round together and then move the token to the right? I believe every nect players turn the token is moved one spot, but I want to be sure when we start playing. ;-)
I’m traveling, so can’t easily check the video, but I’m confident that after the game play overview (around the 3 minute mark), this clarifies that’s the turn tracker phase is part of a players ‘turn’. Which means that on each player’s turn, they resolve that phase. Have fun playing!
@@WatchItPlayed thanks so much, happy travels.
Thank you for this so much! I got the game for myself for Christmas but have been so intimidated by the instructions (I'll admit I was drinking every time I looked at them) that I haven't played yet! The roommate and I are going to take it for a spin tonight. I'm so excited! I'm now subscribed, and I look forward to watching your other videos.
Great to have you here - have fun playing!
I have a couple of questions. 1. If I move to a location with a opportunity card and a trouble card with the same roll requirement (say a speed symbol) do I need to roll for each card? Or does rolling on speed symbol count for both cards? 2. When I get a power card is it unusable until the next turn?
1) You resolve that kind of challenge like other challenges (as explained here: th-cam.com/video/16R4e-YUrvc/w-d-xo.html)
2) Those are 2 different challenges, and each challenge is resolved separately. So a die you roll in one challenge, can't be spent at that time on another challenge.
3) You'll find that explained here: th-cam.com/video/16R4e-YUrvc/w-d-xo.html
Hope that helps.
so on the turn tracker, does each player do the slot in that round of turns and then you move it over one slot. or does 1 player do the first slot then 2nd does the next 3rd...ect.
i dont know if thats confusing, im just trying to figure out if each player playing will pull a trouble card and movement or if it was just the 1st player that does it.
Each player-except the first player-begins their turn by moving the Turn Tracker Cube one space to the right. The first player of the game will start on either the 2P, 3P, or 4P space, depending on the number of players in the game.
@@WatchItPlayed ok. I'm still leaning how to play the game. Me and my wife tried after watching this video. We obviously did some things wrong. But with 2p it seemed like we were running out of turns before even coming close to accomplishing anything
Are any games harder to flip than others?
Never! ;)
When there are two symbols on a card, do you have to roll both symbols or is it either or.
I shot this long enough ago, it might be helpful to have a time stamp to an example of what you are referring to.
you have to roll both to complete the challenge
Do all players take a turn before moving the turn cube? Or do you move it for each turn?
Hey Duncan, you'll find that covered here: th-cam.com/video/16R4e-YUrvc/w-d-xo.html
I'm hoping you can settle a disagreement, since the instructions aren't explicit about this. At around 7:45, you mention, "...as long as you have some [power tiles] remaining, you can attempt, and re-attempt, any actions you want." If I have 4 available power tiles, and I am in a location of a Challenge... Influencing Love, for example... can I exhaust 2 tiles to roll 2-dice attempt at the Challenge, complete all the stages of rolls/re-rolls/etc., gain rewards and/or suffer penalties of that 2-dice attempt, and then flip over 2 more tiles to use in a subsequent repeat of a 2-dice attempt at the same Challenge without moving out and then back into that board location?
Otherwise, great video. Thank you for explaining it so well, since it is rather complex the first time through.
Correct. You don't have to move out and then move back in. You could select 2 tiles, attempt the challenge, and then immediately after select 2 other tiles for the same challenge. Hope that helps!
@@WatchItPlayed Absolutely. Thank you!
Awesome game! Challenging to beat, but fun! Just to clarify: After rolling once for a challenge, I can reroll the non-Biff dice as many times as I want until I quit /all dice are Biffs? When playing the game, I was under the impression that I only get one reroll.
You can re-roll non-biffs as often as you like!
Haha I wonder how many takes Rodney did for the first scene where he's spinning the box and catching it at the right orientation
Why, first time, every time - of course! ;) th-cam.com/video/9WXTNh3fsM0/w-d-xo.html
@@WatchItPlayed Fake video alert! I can't believe it, the Internet is full of fake video, I need to disconnect my computer from this Internet! Seriously though, it is these bits of extra effort you put in, whether it's the box flip, the humor, that makes it a joy to watch, and brings a smile to my face, beyond the actual content of the video, thank you
Can this be played with 3 players ? Thanks great video
Hi David, as the video mentions, it's for 2-4 players. It also provides the instructions for what you change, based on whether you have 2, 3 or 4 players. Hope it's helpful!
Watch It Played very helpful thank you now pre ordered 👍🏻
cant find this for sale in the uk :(
I am also having this issue! Amazon had it for pre order but never sent it and now say they have no idea when or if they will get it back I. Stock and for some reason can not find out?

What is the purpose of there being 3 spaces at the end of the DeLorean track? Is it possible for the car to get pushed back, meaning having it at the furthest of the three spaces is beneficial?
It's been awhile since I shot, this, but I believe so, yes.
@@WatchItPlayed Thanks for the response! I wasn't actually expecting you to respond on this year old video, especially not so quickly lol. You're the best
@@NinjaHawkins Happy to help :)
Hey Rodney Smith, if I've taken my turn but didn't use all of my power tokens can other players in my location make us of my unused tokens to assist them? Or does it have to be from a player who hasn't taken a turn yet?
Hey Adam, it doesn't matter if you've taken a turn or not.
@@WatchItPlayed thank you
I'm sure I could read the comments and get my answer, and get my answer, but I'm lazy. Is the game not officially released? I want to make sure I pre-ordered the Right game. Thanks so much! Love your videos!
It is officially released.
I have two questions. Does each person move the turn tracker or does the first player move it every time it is their turn (making it rounds and not individual turns)? and 2nd. If the trouble card says that Loraine and George can't move (using movement cards or excorted by a player) mean that Marty's special power then no longer works, or can Marty still move Loraine the 2 paces closer to him?
Hey Katie, each player-except the first player-begins their turn by moving the Turn Tracker Cube one space to the right.
I do by best to answer all rules questions on the games I cover, but I avoid individual card effects, as that's a level of detail beyond what I can manage across all the videos I do. I'd suggest checking the rules forum for the game on BoardGameGeek or the publishers website. My sense of it, is that if there is an effect saying that George and Lorraine can't move, than Marty would not be able to move them. I hope you can find your answer - have fun playing!
@@WatchItPlayed Thanks for answering!
@@sew2242 A pleasure to assist - have fun playing!
10:45 I played this with my wife the other night and we got confused in a rule that states that we can't use more than one die of the same color. But in the video, you use two tiles of the same color. Can anyone clarify?
Also, for the modify that makes 1 wild into 2 wilds, do we just apply that for one die or the whole roll?
Can you tell me where you saw that you can't use more than one die of the same color? That might help me identify the confusion.
On page 12 of the instructions. There's a dark box with text that is titled "Things to keep in mind when choosing which dice to roll"
@@dzy2412 Hey Dzy, my copy says: "You may not roll more than TWO dice of any one color during a Challenge attempt". In your question above, you mention: "a rule that states that we can't use more than ONE die of the same color". Just wondering if we're seeing different things.
Oh I see. I read it incorrectly.
One more question, if you don't mind. For the tile that makes 1 wild into 2 wilds, does that apply to all wilds in that challenge attempt? Or just one die?
@@dzy2412 It changes a single wild into 2 wilds.
Did you Try allready JAWS?. AMAZING. As I love Movies I hope this will came to Spain soon. Between this one and Horrified which one you would choose? Or can they have together???. Thanks.
I have not played Jaws yet.
@@WatchItPlayed Try... It's just great and totally amazing as living the movie in two acts, the beach, and the Orca... Great game.
I really love this board game but the turn tracker still confuses me. I believe there's a line in the rules that says something like "every player, except the first, moves the turn tracker at the start of their turn". does it just mean at the VERY first turn or does that player not activate the turn tracker for the entirety of the game?
it feels like we never have enough time to resolve a game if the turn tracker moves on every turn but maybe we're just bad lol
It means JUST at that very first turn. Time does go quick in the game!
1. If Marty is in town square and Lorraine is at doc Browne’s house and he uses his special ability, can he move her to George’s house or Hill Valley high?
He can’t move her into the town square but those two squares being adjacent rather than diagonal are nearer to him?
2. If using Jennifer’s special ability must you move the other character the most direct route (ie through the centre) or can you move them around the outside?
1. Yes, Marty could move Lorraine 1 step closer so that she is now adjacent to Town Square (and Marty).
2. It is fine for Jennifer to move another player around the outside, as long as it is in the direction that is moving that character closer to her.
I feel stupid for asking this but what do you do if you are on a space with no opportunity card?
Hey Suns, don't feel stupid. I need a little more help with the context though. What do you mean by "what do you do"? In other words, what do you think has to happen? Do you have a time stamp for in the video to point me towards the part that is causing concern?
@@WatchItPlayed let's say I am at Hill valley high and there is no opportunity card. What do I do from there?
@@sunsking744 You could use actions to move to a space that has one, if you want. Or work towards some of the other objectives.
@@WatchItPlayed tyvm that helped alot
if you have a (heart) = (lightning/wild) power token, and you roll a double (heart) on one die, is that worth 2 (lightning/wild)?
Yep, if you roll a double-symbol face, you may change both symbols to Wild symbols, and each one may be used for any symbol.
Man, Prosperous Hall has been knocking it out of the park with these games lately. They’re very unique. However, I’m not the biggest fan of the dot eyes, and the event names are so clinically clean that it’s boring. “Scare George to Act” and “Biff Puts Sign on George’s Back”, really? How about “Invasion!” And “Kick Me!” Or “Pranked” or something other than a flat explanation of what’s happening.
Oh, I love the art. Reminds me of Hergé. But hey, art is subjectivity, of course.
If you go first and don't use all your power tiles, can you still use the remaining ones to help another player on their turn?
Hey there, I'm always happy to try to help with rules questions, but if the answer is provided in the video, than I have to direct you there. You'll find an index in the description to help you find the section you might be looking for.
Thanks!!! Although i watched it a couple times, It still doesn't answer the question that I was looking for. I will have to check the rulebook thanks again!
@@DarkPassenger07 Does this cover it here? th-cam.com/video/16R4e-YUrvc/w-d-xo.html If not, can you be more specific with your question?
@@WatchItPlayedoh ok , so at the end of the your turn you immediately flip your tiles over. I thought once every player has gone you then collectively flip all of your tiles. Thanks so much!!! You really do great work!!!
How much TIME does it take to play it? XD
Question.
There is a situation where you can’t move Lorraine or George from their houses. Can Lorraine be moved with Marty’s ability?
I'm not quite sure I understand the question.
I like it how he likes all the comments
I appreciate you taking the time to watch and leave them :)
Anyone have trouble playing with less than 4p? Is there meant to be a different set up?
Hey Caitlin, the only difference is which side of the board you use here: th-cam.com/video/16R4e-YUrvc/w-d-xo.html
Thank you, I’ve been doing that but really struggle to get everything done by end game :(
Power tiles! Earn them early on and setup your teammates to work together on certain rolls. I like Einstein to crowd control Biff, then move in position for Jennifer to whistle me over on her turn to help complete any big rolls.
If you have the "Gang Wreaks Havoc" challenge card in town square, how do you remove it if you aren't allowed to enter Town Square?
You (Marty, Doc, Jennifer, or Einstein) can movie into Town Square. George and Lorraine can’t.
The card is placed at the clock tower, which you still can enter and try to meet the challenge to remove it. 4:19
@@jobberslayer Ah, makes sense. Thought it was placed in town square.
Why are there 3 end goal spots for the DeLorean? Is it possible to overshoot and drive too far? If not, then one spot would have sufficed.
Certain effects could push you backwards, so the further ahead you get, the less likely an effect like that will affect you.
@@WatchItPlayed Thank you!
What do you do if you have 8 power tiles but resolve a challenge or an item let’s you draw a power tile
You take it. It's only at the end of your turn that you have to discard down to 8 tiles again.
Watch It Played perfect. Thank you.
Also, with Docs helmet. “Anytime you withdraw one movement card, draw two” What is my turn states to draw movement cards? Do I draw four?
@@samgardner4667 Happy to help! That said, I avoid getting into card specific questions. That's a little more detail than I can maintain across all the games I cover. For that, you might want to check with the publisher directly, or the forums on BGG for the game.
