Game Overview - • Vast: The Mysterious M...
Paladin - • Vast: The Mysterious M...
Spider - • Vast: The Mysterious M...
The manor has sat in the shady part of the valley abandoned for generations. The spider having escaped her abyssal prison is now seeking to return to her terrible glory, while the skeletal guards of this estate continue to stir in the darkness.
The paladin has come to the manor, seeking atonement from the gods he must destroy the spider.
Return to the world of Vast in a whole new adventure Vast: The Mysterious Manor.
Vast takes you and your friends on an adventure in a haunted house, built on total asymmetry. There is no merry band of travelers here fighting evil. In Vast you take control of any part of the story.
Play as the pious Paladin, the murderous Skeletons, the awesome Spider, or the Manor itself. In addition there is the Enchanter, come to this world to rule the minds of the others. Each role has its own powers, pieces, and paths to victory...and there can be only one winner.
As the ultimate asymmetric board game, Vast: The Mysterious Manor provides a limitless adventure, playable again and again as you and your friends explore the five different roles in different combinations.
Leder Games will present the entire game with solo modes, many combinations of characters, and full games. For the first time Vast will come with a board, to hold the tiles that form the Manor. In addition Vast: The Mysterious Manor will be compatible with Vast: The Crystal Caverns and Vast: The Fearsome Foes.'

I am loving the running gag of getting distracted about other game features.
Aww thank you XD - I am glad you have caught on!
I thought no one would get this! Yes!
Some mistakes: Most importantly, you do NOT get more Strength (attack value) by having several Skeletons in the space where you're attacking! And it's generally impossible anyway, since you have to attack when you enter with the first Skeleton, which is then removed! (And not mentioned: You don't get more Strength for having several Skeletons in the same adjacent space. Only +1 Strength per adjacent SPACE with any Skeletons or Cackling Skulls tokens.)
Other mistakes: You can only summon 1 Skeleton per turn. You can never reveal tiles (it's implied that you can choose to).
I come back to this series often and Jan still makes me LMAO in this video
LOOT!
BREACH!
Very clean guide and loved the discussion! This game looks so good 🤯
Thanks so much! We are getting better at how we produce content :P slowly
Thanks for the video guys.
Having now played my first game, I have a few questions.
1) How are you supposed to ever manage to hit the paladin? At best, he ends a turn with 3 defence, meaning I would need to flank him with three skeletons and hit him with a fourth. If he finishes his turn beside outer walls or other figures, this is already impossible unless you're able to hit with Slashy after moving all other skeletons into perfect spots.
2) The skull tokens seem completely useless. If you use your action to place one, then you already have a skeleton in that space until the next turn anyway. The paladin will move, so I can't see how you'd ever have a skull in a relevant space to add strength?
3) The tunnels seem similarly useless. Moving through one uses your whole action (after movement), so unless the Paladin is standing beside a tunnel and you're able to surround him on other sides and you can get a later skeleton to attack him there's no reason to use them.
4) Breaching walls isn't really useful either. You do it after moving, so you could free a skeleton yet to move who is otherwise trapped but isn't it easier to just attack one of the multitude of figures crowding the map?
Like the goblins before (the greens), I love how thematic these skeletons are.
Yea they are supper thematic :)
I like these videos. They are clear, entertaining and well structured.
Good job!
Thanks so much :) - that’s the goal - I’m glad we succeeded!!
Another great-and correct-video! Great job, guys.
Whoop! :) thank you!
Just found your channel and thank you for the in depth character overview. Cheers
I am glad you found the channel and are enjoying them :)
Your videos have been very helpful to get started with Vast!
What's better caverns or manor?Is it intresting to play manor,if i already played caverns?Is it intresting to play a combination of these two games?
Personally - I like manor more - I like the theme and the roles you get to use! They are both crazy and fun - I haven’t been able to mix and match much yet - but there are scenarios that seem interesting and I hope to try them out!
There are links missing to Manor, Warlock, Shadow Paladin and Armored Knight videos in description.
Click clack, a broken bone,
Click clack, reassembled bones,
Click clack, they protect the house,
Click clack, the Crow squawk
Click clack, Click clack, Click clack...
... They will fight until the light fades out.
Nice XD - these are so fun!
I like your videos. You are very clear and have your own unique style, which I enjoy. Only, please, one thing: it's the game which is asymmetrical, not the factions...
Totally fair :) - when your on camera it seems like you have to split your attention between correct information and clean / clear speech - so sometimes I say things confidently that are not quite accurate :) - thank you for the correction!
How do skeletons attack the Paladin if there attack is 1 or 2?
I like the thematic of this game look really fun to play
This was a great video. Will you cover the expansion characters btw? 😍
Edit: Just finished watching the end of the spider video, and my question was answered. Yes you are!
We have the core characters filmed and plan on doing the full set of 7 :) - so yes
Quackalope Awesome, Jessie. Thanks! 🤗 Been watching the videos several times lately just to prepare for my first session. TMM really looks like a lot of fun. Hope you've been able to play it despite pumping out videos so often. 😨
Anyone else bugged by you vauge the summoning Step is? As it's mentioned at least at first sounds very different than what it actually is
If you're moving in the grounds outside the board how many spaces does it use?
Quick clarification. Can the grounds entry/exits be blocked by revealed wall tiles? Great video!
Great video, as usual 👍 You guys nailed it!
I still have a doubt: can you put a breach across a lit and a dark tile? Or a lit tile and a crypt? In case you can, do you then put a dark tile in the crypt since you created an opening on the lit tile ? And do you keep the breach token when you later reveal that dark tile, even though rules say you remove breaches and force walls every time a tile touching one of them is moved or oriented?
Yes, you can place a breach across a lit and a dark tile, or a lit tile and a crypt. If you do the latter, you put a dark tile in the crypt. Unfortunately I don't know the answer to the last part.
Nice! Thank you for watching - posting the question and thank you for answering before I was able to follow up! As far as I can see you remove those tokens when a tile is manipulated - I would include that with revealing since you can place it in any direction.
@Quackalope & @Steinar: thank you all guys. So it is totally feasible that, for example, the Paladin would:
1. spend Fury to Breach the "North" wall of the entrance tile
2. put a dark tile above the entrance since you now have an open edge.
3. Crusade into the dark tile
4. when you reveal the dark tile, you should be able to orient it freely, since the breach he just created would count for an opening whichever side of the tile you orient towards the entrance tile. But if the breach would be removed by revealing the tile, the paladin would have a wall behind him. How could he then print the newly revealed tile so that there is an opening between the two tiles? Would he first orient the newly revealed tile (however he wants, since the breach would always grant an opening from where he came) and only then remove the breach (closing the passage he had just gone through)?
Do the skeletons keep their gear when they respawn or is it only until they crumble?
They hold onto their gear :)
Interesting. Would I be correct in assuming that in a 2 player game you must play paladin and spider, 3 player you add the skeletons, etc...
See this is why Vast: Caverns was interesting because you aren't locked in playing a specific role. You could play whatever you want, and your objectives will change based on what is in the game.
Know it's old, but in case anyone is wondering, 2 players can also do Spider vs Skeletons, as the Skeletons CAN attack the Spider and hurt her, even in a full game.
But yes, Manor has a lot less options in variants.
@@alsenddrake7764 Yes, I got the game and saw. Spiders always has to be in a game. In the expansion you can opt to play this dark knight/anti-paladin guy, I didn't look too much into it.
In a full game, I don't recall skellies being able to harm the spider, but I've not touched this game in a while so you could very well be right. The only reason to not attack the spider as a skelly is because the spider is fairly easy to beat as the paladin, especially if there is no manor player adding tiles for movement options.
I'd need to see several plays of a spider player. In games I've played, a paladin that just focuses on the spider feels impossible to beat. Walls are not a viable stopping mechanism. They are insufficient in quantity and easily overcome.
You're post isn't too old for me. :)
The background music is driving me nuts.
It’s always a balance - music / volume changes based on what your listening to it on - so trying to get it audible in the background without it overpowering / distracting is hard - but I’m getting better and better.
@@Quackalope I'm loving the music! Perfectly balanced to me!
@@paul_w Thank you Paul - I am glad it works for you!
Agreed - video is great! Presenters are great (informative, engaging, fun to watch)! Background music is a negative - distracting, takes away from the experience - I don't think its a question of lower volume, its just a question of getting rid of it.
What's the music in this vid?
And remember, DONT WORRY about it 😂
No high res yet. Maybe make the video private until the HD versions are updated? I usually watch right when I see the notifications but turn it off when I see it is only in a low res version. It's very hard to see what is going on in the low res version.
The high resolution should be ready in an hour - the problem is TH-cam’s algorithm is not reliable - I have had a unlisted / scheduled video not process the 4k until after publication - I’ll play around with the system more and see what can work - thank you for checking it out!
I will ask question
Who will play first
Paladin always goes first. Then it's Spider->Skeletons->Manor->Warlock if i remember correctly
@@duesmanjones7918 thanks
Should've cut out half of the 'jokes' for much better tempo and clear rules. Apart from that, thx.
Had a really rough time in a two player game last night skeletons vs spider. I had all the equipment but no agency. I wasn’t respawning my skeletons on the board but taking them off then paying 3 stability every time they died which was crippling me. Didn’t even get the final one on the board by the end of the game so could barely hurt the spider who was on four defence and near full health by then. Unlive and learn I guess 🦴
