-----------------
Hey Everybody! Today Paulo Runs Through "Rahdo's Goofs":
- 8:39 forgot colin had a shield so he should have gotten 3 defense dice to roll
- 25:34 the bgg user was dkyzar
- 29:45 forgot to advance the rats on initiative track with their aggressiveness
- 30:50 He can't go past the bad guy...
when Heroes run into bad guys they have to stop the movement
- 33:12 Richard Skipped Tilda's turn (she was wrongly on the 2nd spot but Richard just went over her)
- 33:55 Forgot to move the Rats in the Initiative track again! (eating to much cheese are we Richard?)
- 35:18 I think when he killed the last rat the card should've been removed from the initiative track...
then the rats entered again and since there was no minions on the board at the time a new initiative order had to be done, all cards shuffle and put in the track
- 35:45 He can't search, he had already done is action (attack) now he could only do free actions or move
- 36:06 And forgot to advance the Hour Glass one page
Great job and I am a big fan of your videos. One thing is that in the FAQ to the game, the designer clarified that "cheese results always happen first." This means that cheese from a roll gets immediately placed (either on the minion wheel or in a mouse's stash). Hence, at 34:30 you were not incorrect to initiate a surge and Filch would have to take his cheese from the general supply.
By the way, my six-year-old and his eight-year-old friend LOVE this game. Although it is challenging for me as an adult GM to essentially navigate the fiddly and at times unclear rules. You are so right; there should be player guide sheets boiling down the essential elements of the game! Nevertheless, I love it.
33:41 You only get one cheese, no matter how many you roll. Thanks for the video. Just got the game and am watching this while waiting for my wife to be available for us to play.
From the rules page 10:
" Whenever a player is attacking or
defending with a mouse, if one or more cheese
symbols are rolled, that mouse gains 1 cheese
token for each cheese rolled"
This applies also when the minions are attacking the players
You are totally correct. Wasn't able to double check the book like I wanted to.
John Alexander glad to help :)
I've been dying for this Run Through to help decide if I should buy this for the family. Like Groovy Munki said........Sold!
From what I remember when you explore into a new tile 24:18, the mice all go onto a space adjacent to the white edge of the board. I think its up to the players to decide which space is chosen and nothing in the rulebook says anything about blocking spawn points during an explore action. So I think you were right.
the boards have a blue arrow and they are all supposed to point the same direction when layed out
I've been playing this game with my 8 & 9 year old daughters. We have reached chapter 5 and decided to take a short break. We'll pick it up when summer vacation begins. The only feature I don't care for is the timer. It seems far to easy to fail the chapter because of reaching 'The End' marker and a crummy way to lose. We have consequently applied a house rule and removed that mechanic from our game so we can better enjoy the story. However, if all characters are knocked out (captured) from the game (which has happened to us already), we will replay the chapter.
congrats in advance. you are almost at100k subs!
Seems like Mouse Guard meets Descent. VERY tempting to buy. (Also it is said that someone who worked on Heroscape designed this one. Absolutely ideal for kids to get them into role playing / board gaming.
That is one awesome shuffle song! ;)
Awesome video! Thanks for explaining - and for making it really entertaining!
This is going to get expansiv for me. Watching your videos give me just more and more boardgames to buy. Your video really help us to check how the game works (well mostly) and your thoughts of it in the end is just the crust on the pie. Thanks once again.
Tula totally says "I'm a dog!" lol
34:30 In this timing I believe that Filch (may or must?) take the cheese from the minions cheese wheel. In that case no surge minnions appears.
note added... thanks
3:20 special rules sounds fun.
Yaak timer it hate time element in any game always.
ya this game is awesome, you can play it solo too. I still need to finish the story and I'm thinking about getting the expansion.
Great run through (as usual) :) Just a small rules note that might make a big difference: when you drew the abduction card, the mouse gets captured with all the associated rules, so you would also have to move the hour glass marker. I think it is the most brutal of the treachery cards, though luck! (Source: boardgamegeek.com/thread/882805/abduction)
There was already a note for this in the start of the Extended play. But I will put a note here too :)
Thanks :)
Filch killed a rat so he was able to have pilfered the cheese from the cheese wheel.
If you're talking about 34:30 there's already a note about that... if you're not please leave the timestamp of when that happens... thanks
18:40 she can move and do one action. But not two actions. Search then move, or move then search. Page 9 in the manual. Edit: dont mind this comment. I just continued watching ^^
Two questions I'm curious about in game play;
Are tricks only usable once and then go back into the search deck or reusable?
During game play after minion are defeated rounds continue between players such as search or movement and every completed round with no minions on the board encure one cheese to the wheel?
hi there, i'm sorry but it's been years since i've played the game, so i don't really remember. but these are the sorts of questions you can ask on boardgamegeek and get very quick answers :)
Mice cannot move through minion-occupied spaces. They stop when hitting a space with a minion on it, regardless of how many
it was already noted... thanks
At 8:42 when collin rolled his defense dice against the one cockroach hit, i've played where the shield and breastplate would count as automatic blocks so collin would only roll his one defense die. Have i been playing wrong???
As far as I know those values aren't automatic defenses... they are more dices to be rolled... the actual defense still has to come from the dice
A very nice game ...
Please do a run-through of Mice and Mystics Heart of Glorm!
Joseph Permann not likely to happen unfortunately, as we disliked the base game so much! :(
***** If you didn't like the game, why did you spotlight it like this?
***** because my voters requested it :) more details here: guild.rahdo.com
***** Ahh, gotcha. I'm only about halfway through the video. Do you explain why you aren't a fan of the game in this, or did you do your playthough later. If so, mind filling me in on what you didn't like? It seems fun so far ^_^
***** check the links in the show notes... there's a whole 3rd video devoted to my thoughts about the game :)
this game seems complicated
Cheese is life, like the Dune spice. Are you a fan, Rahdo?
cheese is the mind killer!
How many times can characters do a search per tile?
i'm sorry it's been soo long since i've played this (i filmed this years and years ago) i don't really remember specifics :(
At 35:20 Maginos takes his turn. He first shoots at a rat and misses. This would have been his one and only action. However, he then searches (an illegal second action on the same turn) and finds treachery and is captured. This significantly altered the rest of the game, especially in to the kitchen room shown on the extended play video because you could have used his range. Am I interpreting the rules wrong, or was this just a critical oops moment?
It was already noted... Please turn on the Klingon subtitles to see where Richard goofs up… Thanks :)
it's pronounced may-lay.
where did you get that dice box that you roll the dice into?
+Jonathan th-cam.com/video/e1W3uZG3Vk0/w-d-xo.html :)
+rahdo Thank you! I appreciate and love all your videos :) I recently got pandemic, SHDA, and ghost stories, and have been watching your videos to learn them / find games to purchase.
At 9:09 when the cockroach stole the cheese, it did not go to the wheel?
wait, that would only be "greedy" roaches.
You skipped Tilda
That would be some where around 31-32 minutes
is there somewhere a dutch version online of the manual? my group would love to play the game but the story telling seems a bit like a problem to us. so if someone can help us :)
Jef Peeters well, here's a fan translation of a portion of the story text: boardgamegeek.com/filepage/84871/dutch-translation-storytext-prologue-chapter-1
awesome, ty !
1:13 I think you said the word "Flight" wrong.
Soooo... how replayable is this game? I want to purchase a game and i like this one, but i also like Myth, too despite of the messy rules it seams more replayable than this one. ....fuuuhhh...i can't chose. I watched over a 40 reviews until now....:-). So far i have : Level 7(Escape), Rune Wars, Mice and Mystics, Descent 2 edition,Wrath of Ashardalon,Defenders of the Relm, Myth. Most of the times will play 2 or 3 players.
Istvan Fazakas i couldn't tell you how replayable, as we didn't like it on the first playthrough! :)
I wish you had started at the beginning of the game. I'll search for another video.
I thought that the mice could not go through minions without stopping?
and you're right :) can you tell me the timestamp please? so I can add a note
Thanks
Paulo Renato that would be at 30:50
Joseph Permann note added... thank you
Simple dark lord question:
1:17 why not just kill them ?:D
2:44 so why not put the mouse to a mouse cage/orture box?:D why a regular prison where the can escape because there is a convenient aqueduct
SPOILER ALERT:
The reason they put them in that cell was because they weren't mice yet, Maginos shrunk them so they could escape
I really don't like the random initiative, especially when special abilities are determined by it.
NEZ
Can People with lactose intolerance play this game? hehhe I love your videos. Greetings from Chicago
When Filch killed the rat, should he not have taken cheese from the wheel?
timestamp please
Thanks. I have been flip-flopping on whether or not to buy this game. One word for you, "SOLD!"
Now to wait for it to get back in stock....
There are some copies at Amazon.
mayneric Local Barnes & Nobles should have them as well. It's been cheaper there lately, plus you can get extra discounts from e-mails or B&N Club Memberships.
Thanks for the tip!
I love this game, I've got both expansions and it's just super fun. I can play it with my 6 year old nephew or my 40 year old friends
Burley - Do you have any links to simplified rules instruction? The amount of fiddly rules is keeping us from enjoying this one 😔
I really don't like the random initiative, especially when special abilities are determined by it.
