    OKay, Rodney. I just bought this game, and while I am waiting for it to be delivered I watched this to get a quick summation of the new elements. Thanks to you, I am ready to play tonight!
    Also, I want to ad to John Lui's comments below. As I watched, I realized that I was smiling along with you. Your demeanor is what makes your videos so watchable and enjoyable!

    That player vote on the first player token not moving is big. With the way the game is set up, the person who goes last in the current round goes first in the next. This gives the Betrayer the opportunity to set-up an unimpeded two-turn sabotage. Now there's the risk that players will catch on to what is about to happen. With the new vote system they can effectively stall-out the betrayer's pay-off turn for the chance to counter. As a result the betrayer can now no longer act with impunity on these back-to-back turns.

    So we finally played a game the other night and it was tough (but two of us won) and fun! One question a friend of mine had was if the racxxon location counted as one of the locations needed to help complete the colony objective for "Tribute". We pretty much needed two cards from every location under the objective before the game ended. Thanks again for the awesome video and help!

    Dead of Winter is the only zombie game that my friends enjoy playing (in spite of how much I love Last Night On Earth and all of it's expansions). When I found out about this sequel I immediately pre-ordered it. The original is one of the best games in my huge collection. I can't wait for this new one to arrive, and thanks to this video I'll be able to jump right in more or less without having to read the rule book to see how the new modules play and merely keep it on hand for detail references.

Also Seafall is so close! (You should do a watch it played for the seafall prologue game. But IDK how many spoilers that would have and logistics and the such so do what you want.)

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      No plans to do a video specifically for that, but here's what the rule book says: "All cards and components from the Dead of Winter: A Crossroads Game base set may be used with The Long Night as desired. Whenever search decks are combined from more than one Dead of Winter product, shuffle each location deck and deal out 20 cards facedown to form a search deck for that location. Remove the undealt cards from the game. Important note: Combining cards in this way may make the game more or less difficult. Players may choose to pick cards to add or remove to create a personal experience."

  • @technolusty
    @technolusty 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thank you for this video. In one of their preview posts, Plaid Hat showed a character whose ability triggered on a 6+. I'm dying to know if the game has d8 or higher-sided dice, or if we can use multiple dice per action. How else would the "plus" be possible?

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      I think that's just to cover if the character gets a modifier to their normal dice roll (only d6s in the game, aside from the Exposure die).

    • @WatchItPlayed

    Hi Rodney, great video! I have a question...
    Which dice are used for the containment code? Are they dice that are not action dice? I asked this because near the end of the Raxxon explanation, you say they are returned to the general supply?

    • @Daeva001
      @Daeva001 8 ปีที่แล้ว

      The containment code dice are from your personal pool, that you rolled for the turn. In essence, your character at Raxxon is spending the effort that would normally go into searching or fighting to keep the zombies contained.

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      You spend your Action dice for the containment code. I say they returned to the supply at the end of the round, because you always build your dice pool at the start of each new round - so that's when you would collect any dice (for new survivors you gained in the previous round, and for dice that were spent on containment codes).

    I get the sense here that, unlike with the Lords of Waterdeep expansion where you have the option to combine both Overmountain and Skullport with the base game, Dead of Winter: The Long Night would best be played with just one module at a time. True?
    I greatly admire Plaid Hat for allowing this expansion to also be able to serve as its own standalone game. It'd be interesting if other devs followed suit.

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      The modules are meant to be played in any combination you prefer - including all of them :) Saying what particular game groups will find best, would be difficult, as I do see that as based on personal preferences.

    Love the game! And thank you for the video. A point in need of clarification.
    "Although an exploding trap at that location will still remove [Special Zombie] (9:49)."
    This contradicts the rulebook: "Other game effects such as items and character abilities that do not involve an attack, or explosive traps that would normally kill a zombie does not affect special zombies. (Pg.18)"
    So does triggering an explosive trap on a location with a pre-existing special zombie kill the special zombie or not? Thank you.

    • @MaximumImpactGames

      No. It only kills it if it were the zombie to trigger the barricade/exploding trap.

      You get improvement tokens from character abilities, card, etc. Various sources you'll find around the game.
      You place special zombies by rolling a die for each one, and putting it at the matching location.

  • @1981marecky

    Hi Rodney. Fantastic videos (Dead of Winter, Ashes...)
    This is my first contact with this series, I've bought Long Night and already played only two times. I understood all rules but still have problem with basics - special ability of some survivors or equipments - I mean if die shall be used, with some minimum value or just 1+.
    Could you help please? I cannot find detaild explanation for it :( Ashes cards are explained one by one and everything in in the Web. For this game I have a huge problem.
    I play in Polish language version so it is not simple to find all because I do not know every origin name of the card but charakters' names are the same fortunately.
    Examples:
    #Kevin Jackson - do I need to use a die (attack action) to use his skill once per round ?
    #Emma Han - do I need to use a die (search action) to use her skill once per round ?
    I am playing Raxxon episode when she additionally has new ability / equipment to see and get one card more when searching in Raxxon. Can these abilities be combined or have to be done separately ?
    #book card "help yourself": (3+) once per round you can check 4 cards and take one. This is like search action but have to use dice 3+ to use this no matter which search skill value survivor has?
    #... enough :)

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  7 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Kevin Jackson: No die is required. If you needed to spend a die for this effect they's show something like (4+) in the effect, meaning you'd need to spend a die of 4 or more. For Kevin's ability, it's an instant zombie kill, once per round.
      Emma Han: No die is required (for the same reason as Kevin's).
      Book: Yes, you have that right. Keep in mind, in a Search action you can spend noise tokens to draw more cards, in this case, you can't, because although it is like a Search action, it isn't a search action.
      Hope that helps!

    I would be thankful if you could make a clarification since the people with whom I play and I aren't native english speakers we ended up having a confusion about the rules.
    Suppose a player has been found out to be a Traitor, voted to exile and handed his Exiled Secret Objective.
    It's requirements for victory are to have a card of each type in his hand, the player makes a search, and draws the last card required. Does he automatically wins as the criteria is met? Or he has to wait until the effect 5 of the Colony Phase to declare that he has achieved his secret objective?
    Thanks for your videos.

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Remember, the game only ends if:
      1) The morale track reaches 0 the game ends immediately. Do not check to see if the main objective has been completed.
      2) If the round track reaches 0 the game ends immediately. Do not check to see if the main objective has been completed.
      3) The main objective is completed.
      A player completing their secret objective does not end the game. Completing your secret objective just determines whether or not you win, when the game does end.

    Regarding Raxxon and the experiments - whether the vote was Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down, a new experiment will apply for the following round, correct? So, the main difference is just whether the experiment is discarded (contained) or a special zombie is placed. It's mildly unclear.

  • @christianb4217
    @christianb4217 7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    So, I'm slightly confused... Can you not use weapons or abilities to kill the special zombies? Like when you have the pistol on one of your survivors, that says you don't have to roll for exposure when killing a zombie, I can't use it? Also, what is the rule of placing special zombies, when they come in pairs? I had a hard time understanding the whole raxxon thing when I read it, and I am still not sure I get it...

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  7 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      From the rule book we find: "Special zombies can only be killed with a regular attack. Other game effects such as items and character abilities that do not involve an attack, or explosive traps that would normally kill a zombie do not affect special zombies."
      So in this case, you can use your pistol against a special zombie, because that is used during a regular attack.
      Not quite sure I know what your question is regarding the pairs specifically. Typically, if a rules question comes up that relates to card effects, I try to direct them to the publisher for that, as I would just be making my best guess :)

    • @christianb4217
      @christianb4217 7 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks for the quick reply. I guess that means that the sniperrifles and other stuff that has the once per turn (without stating "when performing an attack") don't work on special zombies then. No more comfortable shots from safety ;-)The other question stemmed from a misunderstanding (once again) when reading the rules. I figuered it out thanks to this video and some more reading of the rules.

    Greetings from Türkiye, it is admirable that you respond to every comment and question even though 7 years have passed since the video. I had a question too, I'd be glad if you could help me. You say in the video that if there is a Special Zombie in the location, the Special Zombie should always be targeted instead of other alternative targets in that location. But does this also apply to Survivors? So if there is a Special Zombie in the location and a Survivor next to me, can I hit the Survivor or should I target the Special Zombie? And also, I have one question too, you said that people in the Raxxon position can place dice on that Audio Log in Raxxon, and if the dice is not placed, Special Zombie will be added to the game. So does this rule apply even if there is no one at Raxxon? So, since there is no one in Raxxon and naturally the dice conditions in Audio Log are not met, is Special Zombie added to the game or does need to be atleast 1 person there for this mechanic to work?
