Great tutorial, the only one out there so far. Really appreciate the hard work you put into it 🙏🏻 Cheers!
Glad it was helpful!
Great video. Loved the multiple examples. They were especially helpful in reviewing attacks involving ornithopters and attacks using worm signs and worms.
Just found out about you guys. Unbelievably good content on this game. The playthroughs, the how to play and the game review. Subbed!
Thanks for the kind words! We back a lot of big games like this on KS and Gamefound so lots of epic games to come!
Yeah want to echo everyone else saying thanks for this. It's the most useful thing out there and will make learning this game so much more fun when i finally crack it open next month
I can’t believe that I missed that you deploy two tokens per Harrkonen settlement during setup. Even with that disadvantage though, I still won.i must be a tactical genius.
You may well be.
That said, I think the harkonnen have a pretty straightforward job whereas the atreides need to figure it out as they go along.
Sort of like Rebellion.
Again, not saying you aren't a genius 😊😊
There are so many little things to find. A player aid for each game piece would be useful. Might even make one myself.
@@TabletopKnights any progress on that? I have a game day tomorrow and would love a player aid lol 😋
Thanks! I always like to both watch a video and read the rulebook for a new game.
Excellent walk-through John. Much appreciated. Love this game
Decent video. I feel more informed before I tackle the rule book for the whole nitty gritty. I also echo that I would love to watch videos about the expansions too :)
Very good. Thank you. Looking forward to giving this a go now, armed with your most helpful rules run.
Have fun!
Thanks so much for this tutorial! It really helps the community a lot and is much appreciated! I'm on the verge of pulling the trigger and getting this one.. I'm such a visual and auditory learner, I'm still hoping to find a solo tutorial for this somewhere, haha. Again, thank you for the effort you put into this!
I couldn't find a full rulebook online, and the player aids I did find were hard to decipher, but your thorough explanation was great preparation for my first game. I even won! Thank you!
CMON has a pdf of the rulebook on their website.
Mister, you basically just sold me this game. Great video and amazing game
Thank you heaps for tuning in. It's very appreciated.
Fantastic video! Thanks for doing that
great video, clear and fantastic teaching. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you!!
great guide ..greetings from Azerbaijan
Thanks for the vid. For the Baron and the Emperor !
For Zendaya!
Great Video.
An explanation of the Expansion rules would be very appreciated too. Especialy with regard to some unclear or lets say not so good explained things 🤪
At some point the rule books are not as precise as they should be ...
Noted: We all still need some clarifications!
Wow...I've never see another copy of Blood Feud New York out I the wild before. Great vid 👍
Haha, I have quite a few wacky games in my collection.
Thank you for this video!
You are so welcome!
26:32 I don’t think that particular prescience card works that way. As you just said it, Atreides player can reveal any token anytime , meaning even in end of the round phase. That is the moment where you have to reveal it. Otherwise, I guess the card would have been a “During action resolution phase”.
very well done. I wonder if worth getting the retail version without the exclusives?
I appreciate the effort you put into this. It was a bit too drawn out. But i understand this is a "big" game and it is hard to be concise.
Appreciate your view but 40 pages in 50 minutes is good going I think and we wanted to get as much across as possible. You probably don't need as much help as many others. Cheers.
Thanks!
Thanks so much!
1/8 men are red-green colourblind.. what colours shall we choose for our minis? Red and green of course!
So frustrating 😢
Thanks for the video. Are you planning a video about expansions.
Yes, just need a day off, haha.
What sleeves did you use for the cards? They look nice.
I love the world of Dune and I was so tempted to back the KS campaign. I’m glad I did not though due to replayability. It is all done on a set map. I know there are different alternative scenarios, but that doesn’t change the fact that the map does not change. Maybe this would be good playing with other people, but not for me!
The good thing about opinions is you're allowed to be wrong! 😜 I enjoy a game with this structure so I can try new approaches. I don't really play any game often enough to worry about replayability. Thanks for your thoughts.
Are the bene gesserit token a single use item or can you use them as much as you want?
Great video! I love the designers, they make great games. I just wish we weren't in the era where everything has to have minis. Much like War of the Rings, the board ends up being too big trying to accommodate the figures. I'd much rather take the "Or Not" part of the publishers name, so I'd have a reasonably sized footprint. I just got it today and when I set it up I realized it was so big as to be unplayable. By the time you find a table to set it up on, you can't sit and play. You are forever jumping up to look at this, or reach over their grabbing a mini. With counters the board could be half the size, and it would still be pretty big.
Is there a game that you think has the same amount of depth but with a smaller footprint? What would you use to replace the minis?
@TabletopKnights cardboard counters. The board could be half the size. Then it all works fine. I have War of the Ring and battle of five armies, same designer, same basic system (action dice and two decks for each player). I rarely play War of the Ring because of its size. I play battle of five armies much more because it doesn't have such a big foot print. I wish both of those games had counters instead of minis. The minis barely fit on the boards as is.
I used to be into painting, but not any more. I would rather have nice counters than unpainted minis.
I play so many games that it isn't worth it to spend more time painting than playing.
Great video, I think I saw this on table top simulator, does anyone know what is the best mod to use, or community to join? If there are any discord groups or anything that would work around this game.
Great video! I have one question, I know desert power action can be used only if Atreides has less dice. It is count as a die action? I can perform once in my turn and the game back to Harkonen?
It does not count as a die action but you still only get one action.
YES, THANK YOU
Hope it makes a difference.
@@TabletopKnights exactly what we needed, thank you for your effort!
What kind of card sleeves are you using? Curious also if you recommend matt or clear/glossy? I have some matt finish, which helps with glare, but it really does make the text hard to read (Dune Imperium)
We used Standard American Matte Gamegenic. No reading issues for us.
Thanks for the tutorial. I think in your example of battle (surprise attack) there is a mistake. In order to attack, a legion must be adjacent to the target. In your example I believe the Harkonnen are attacking from a non adjacent area - which is not possible.
I think that's where they use the ornithopter to attack. Which is allowed.
Ah - I didn‘t see the text insert and since the rule on how to do attacks using sandriding and ornithocopters comes after it was a bit misleading - bit else really great vid!
When I paint my figures I’m going to paint the bases to make it easier to distinguish between the different units. Basic units will have dark green and dark red. Generic leaders will have the color of the ally factions (since they count as ally leaders). And the named leaders will have metallic colors matching their factions (gold for Fremen, green metal for Atreides, red metal for Harkonnen, and silver for Corrino). I may use other colors for the expansion figures, since they have special rules.
Great, we'd love to see them finished.
@@TabletopKnights It will probably be a while. Probably a full month of painting based on the number of figures. First I need to actually receive the game in the mail 😅
And what will you paint the elites?
@@fan-i-am The elites will probably also be dark green and dark red. The shape of the bases already helps distinguish regulars, elites, and special elites. However, I may change my mind after playing the game a few times. Maybe I’ll paint the sides of the elites’ bases green and red and the tops of the bases yellow and light gray, to match the unit symbols.
I would suggest painting the elite bases Light Green and Light Red@@WideMouth
I have a question, when the video was first uploaded, I watched it "captions". After the timestapms, the captions are no longer available. Is there a way to fix it? Watching the video with subtitles helps a lot for us non-natives... =)
We made an edit so the Captions need to reform. They should reappear soon.
@@TabletopKnights thank you, its back
When exactly can you use Desert Power? Basically:
If the Harkonnen ever have less action dice than Atreides after the roll phase?
The Atreides player can only use Desert Power if they have LESS dice (including. Bene Gesserit tokens) than the Harkonnen player.
Gameplay Question: does the Wild Maker card stay in play on the Atreides dashboard from round to round even after the Wild Maker has been used and removed from the board?
It's treated like every other named leader. The special is used once per round, remove and flip to inactive and refresh at end of round. However the card will stay if the special is not used. So if just used as a worm, the card stays where it is.
@@TabletopKnights thank you! I feel that’s a big piece of the Atreides strategy that just clicked for me. For some reason I was thinking that the Wild Maker functioned differently than other leaders.
I didn't get an atreides bag with my game?
The game has a similar vibe to War of the Ring.
Very good tutorial. I absolutely love the game and the designers are among my favorites.
BUT
I'll probably sell this one on because it is just too big to setup, and even if you have the room, there is no way to sit comfortably and play the game. You always are standing up to reach things and see details.
This is all necessary to accommodate the minis. With counters, you could get by with half the board size.
I know folks are in to minis, but there comes a point where it is too much.
The company is called cool minis or not, I wish they'd live up to their name and make a non-minis version that people could actually play.
I don't understand the air zones very well sans it is so badly shown in the rulebook what/where they actually are
The air zones are just the circles with the ornithopter blades . Each is connected to the sectors they intersect.
@@TabletopKnights but they can't pushed/transport/scout anything that isn't connected to that zone?
@@simonb4689The “zone” just means the tiny space the air unit occupies.
The air zones all bridge two sectors together and can operate anywhere within those two sectors.
zone = 1 space on the board. *sector* = many zones, marked by a dotted line boundary. the air spaces sit on the boundaries between two sectors and can be used for either sector.
this also matters for prescience cards that require no (or some) imperial legions in the same *sector* as your units
@@simonb4689
Thank you so much for this. I hate their rules book
I actually don't mind the book but it is a bit all over the place. If could have been saved by a player aid that covers everything related to a harvester in one spot.
@@TabletopKnights every game designer should hire Matsuuchi. He's amazing with rule books
Great rules explanation!
