    Superfun playthrough! Thought you missed giving yourself a coin for finishing a row at the end - ah well! ;) Ty!

    Great Video! Well presented, excellent explanations, entertaining. Thanks for the help sheets. No need to read rulebook with your videos. The GO TO video for Roll player and its expansions.

    Out of the kabillion game "how to" and "set up" videos I've watched on YT, yours are easily the best I've seen. Great personality, style, clear explanation, interesting play through, etc!! Thanks for doing these! Great job!!

      Well freaking heck, thanks Craig! I just survived parent teacher conferences... and this was such a dang nice comment to read tonight. Really greatly appreciated.

    Great series of videos on this game. Thanks for taking the time.
    On this playthrough, I believe in the “cleanup phase” you only discard the leftmost card remaining in the market. Then all of the others remaining go to the trash pile.
    I am new to the game so I don’t know the implications of trashing the cards rather than discarding them.
    Thanks again for the videos!

    • @malixcorvin777

      smackypaps you are correct. Leftmost is discarded anything left over is trashed.

    Very good playthrough, please keep them coming and I also like your originality of other videos of you showing how to combine base games with expansions.

    • @TomTeachesGames

      Thanks Barry! I’ve been waiting for the next opportunity to do more of those - seems like exciting expansions have slown down (is “slown” even a word? I know I use it all of the time, but the red underline I see seems to disagree.... my world is rocked.)

    Thanks for sharing!
    Awesome - someone that thinks through all of the options like I do. Meaning, going on brief tangent, forgetting to do a certain something that I told myself not to forget, etc.
    And, I like the marking of Attributes you have 'set'. I'm going to start doing that!

    • @TomTeachesGames
      @TomTeachesGames  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thanks Tony! I am definitely very easily distracted...... and it's also crazy how, for example, a 1 hour video can be filmed over many hours, or even days..... So I'm pretty good at forgetting stuff..... Marking things as often as possible is a must for me.
      I hope quarantine is treating you well!

    Thanks for the video; this is helpful in deciding whether I want to go all in for the base & expansion :)

    • @TomTeachesGames
      @TomTeachesGames  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      You bet man! For me it added a new nice decisions (like, to buy things from the market or go hunting a minion.) I always love games with two positive choices like that.

    "Hey, teacher, leave those rows alone."
    I finally caught up with this video, which was cool. The extra dice did make the last battles easy, but Monster Slayer still seems pretty tough to get -- which you would hope for the top tier.

  • @tonybowers9490
    @tonybowers9490 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    56:27 Look Squirrel ! ! ! He He, I too think the combat dice are awesome. And yes, I too have taken time to look them over and admire them. :-)

    • @TomTeachesGames
      @TomTeachesGames  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I really need to get this thing back out.... It's been way too long....
      I guess the new expansion coming out before too long will be the catalyst for that happening.

  • @apollonia6656
    @apollonia6656 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Brilliant. I thoroughly enjoyed your gameplay.
    The base game, yes I finished all the characters and I am a True Hero !
    Ordered the expansion and cannot wait to get started. Thanks to you the Rules will be solo much easier to understand.
    NB: I do not have a printer and I need your instruction leaflet so as I can follow your superb work.
    Please help.
    Thank you again for making a solo player's day.
    Kind regards from GB.

    • @TomTeachesGames
      @TomTeachesGames  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      You bet! Thanks a ton for watching and commenting!

    • @apollonia6656
      @apollonia6656 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Sorry for asking again : how do I get your instruction rules without a printer ?
      Your leaflet will help me a lot.
      Thank you.
      Kind regards.

      Oh, I misunderstood, sorry! So, you can still look at it as a PDF on your phone or computer if you’d like. The link is in the description of this video, but here it is again:

      You do need to be a member of bgg.com in order to view it, but that’s free to do. And SO worth it if you haven’t already.
      Does that help?

    • @apollonia6656
      @apollonia6656 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you so much.
      I do " visit " BIG but forgot my PW ! Will do something to re-register.
      Kindest regards.

    Great walk through! At 52:15 that Tremor card is different than Stoneskin because it awards xp instead of gold.

    • @TomTeachesGames

      Ooooooh! I mean, sometimes words are too big (or too small?) for me to fully comprehend.... 😂 I swear, the camera takes away 10 pounds from my brain.

      It’s TH-cam! You can never be too careful with those pesky judgers!

  • @DaniCha

    I need to mark the attributes too! The cube method works. Maybe place it on top of the modifier square instead of on the left? I usually just take notes on my notepad which attributes have been met. Thanks for this playthrough. I just got M&M and this made it 100% easier for me to jump right in.

    • @TomTeachesGames
      @TomTeachesGames  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I love your idea of placing it on top of the modifier square! It's such a tricky thing to track, and I HATE nailing it, then messing it up accidentally later on...

  • @keithe2288

    Am I reading the rules incorrectly? The way I understand it, any combat mercenary dice purchased to fight a minion are returned to the supply after the minion fight, right? Or is there another reason I missed that you kept the mercenary dice you bought for future battles? Great play through, by the way. Really helped me walk through my first play with the expansion!

    • @TomTeachesGames
      @TomTeachesGames  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You are 100% right! I don’t know how I missed that final step - but I really appreciate you pointing that out! It would certainly make things tougher on me, as they did feel too easy..... I’ll make sure to annotate that in the Klingon subtitles. Thanks again!

  • @shaneannigans

    Another fantastic plauthrough!!!
    This game is MUCH better than I thought it would be-off to the FLGS I go!! 😂

    • @TomTeachesGames
      @TomTeachesGames  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Right?!? Like, with such a bland theme and title I almost passed it up myself. It was only thanks to Tom Vasel's glowing review that hit hit my radar. I'm glad you enjoyed it!

    • @shaneannigans
      @shaneannigans 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tom Teaches I loved the theme and title from the get-go but it was the whole 'beat your own score' system that turned me off.
      Adding the scoring ranks and the monsters and minions is what I think changed my mind.
      Just scored 31 in my first game! Thanks to these videos it went a lot smoother than it would have otherwise 😊

    • @TomTeachesGames
      @TomTeachesGames  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Rock on! That’s awesome man! And yeah, I like fantasy and dice rolling, I’m just kind of bored with generic fantasy these days. That’s all I meant by that.
      I need to get that game back out and play it again. It’s so fun!

    I literally threw all my trash tokens in the bin when I punched them out.

    • @TomTeachesGames
      @TomTeachesGames  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      A very natural thing, I imagine.....

  • @chuckswain8299
    @chuckswain8299 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Can the characters from RP be used in MM? Can the cards from RP be mixed withe Cards in MM?

  • @Skorrigan

    40:36 That's handy. Gonna do that too.

  • @ericbrooks1562
    @ericbrooks1562 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thinking this may be best "dice rolling" game out. Really need to add this to my collection. Where would you rank it?

    • @TomTeachesGames
      @TomTeachesGames  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh.... I’m.... not sure how I’d rank it. Like, amongst other dice rolling? Or on a scale? I’d say.... for me and my taste I’d give it a 7 or 8 out of 10

  • @ktrazz
    @ktrazz 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Do you have KS exclusive cards or can I expect to see all of these new cards in retail?

    • @TomTeachesGames
      @TomTeachesGames  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Oh..... crap..... I did kickstart.... but have NO CLUE what (if any) cards are exclusive. Like I said, I think the frogkin character sheet is an exclusive, but you may have to look up and see what (if anything) else is an exclusive. Sorry Randolph!

    • @ArmadilloAl
      @ArmadilloAl 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      There were actually zero Kickstarter exclusives. The Frogkin board is not part of the expansion, but it's not, strictly speaking, a Kickstarter exclusive either - it's a general promo that is currently available in the BGG Store.

    • @TomTeachesGames
      @TomTeachesGames  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Oh! That’s helpful info, I appreciate that. If I was less lazy I would have done some research on that... but thanks for letting me/us know!

    When do you think you will update the Setup player Aid?

      I’m just waiting for BGG to accept/post it. I uploaded it yesterday morning before recording.... so..... hopefully by tonight?

    Which organizer is that?

    • @TomTeachesGames
      @TomTeachesGames  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      So, I can’t remember off the top of my head, but I THINK I address that in this video... th-cam.com/video/Ic6pOeuYIi8/w-d-xo.html

  • @glentelfer3649
    @glentelfer3649 6 ปีที่แล้ว

    So you get no xp for killing the monster?

    • @TomTeachesGames
      @TomTeachesGames  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      If I remember correctly (this is off of the top of my head) you might get XP for killing a minion (depending on the damage you do) and killing the monster gives you victory points (stars).
