Currently deciding which 3 characters to help my priest on his adventure and that exile ability you used and the flavour you put on it just sold me 100% on him.
Hi there, French backer here. Thanx for those awesome videos, really great and funny. It makes everything clearer to me as reading the rules is not always helping. Thanx again!
I have watched this series about a dozen times now and I'm still loving it. Hoping that you'll get lots of views once the games get delivered to backers soon!
Really enjoying your sense of humour coming thru on these, had my fair share of giggles. Very consise and well though out tutoring. Thanks keep it up. Ps I am so looking forward to fulfillment of this game. Big shout out to Shadowborne games for the commitment and love they've put into this game and how they've been transparent and upfront with the problems they've faced due to the global shipping situation. I'm a fan and will be checking out future projects of theirs with enthusiasm.
Yeah, not long to wait now! I agree that Shadowborne have done an amazing job. It's also been great to see the community step up, and make significant donations to help reduce Shadowborne's losses. Kudos to both Shadowborne and their backers.
Hello, this video is fantastic!!! I´m not native with english so reading rulebook is sometimes difficulte to understand correctly how to play. With your interactive examples it is very easy. I´m curious about barbarian surviving in next video 😃 I´m going to look forward to this game more and more. Thanks
Thanks Michal. I made these hoping they'd be helpful to some Oathsworn backers, so I'm glad to hear that they have been. Enjoy the real game when it arrives!
-Question regarding rat minion line of sight around --25:25--, even though the line drawn is technically not blocked by the tree, the attack is blocked because the point the line connects to touches a corner of obstruction?- Nevermind you literally answered my question right after I typed it out in the video lmao. Great videos, loved the series as a whole!
These videos are the coolest I've seen for complex board games, especially due to excellent 3D graphics and illustrations. Wish to see same videos for other complex games (e.g. KDM, AOT) ^_^
I was in second round of kickstarter and just played last weekend. Wow, I should have watched these videos first - great job. Though to be fair we only missed a few things (in regards to movement and enemies doing crits).
Exile's special ability on his player board "Unbound Rage" states that he "gains" an animus. It doesn't state that he "regenerates" an animus. It should say "regenerate".
Even though I'm repeating myself (from Video Part 6): Grandios videos, a joy to watch. After rewatching them more times than I'm proud to count (to ease the wait), I got another question: In combat resolution, while you are allowed to mix cards an dice, are you also allowed to switch from cards to dice in crit resolution when your Las-Vegas-level card counting skills tell you that there's nothing good left in the stack? Have a nice day!
That's funny, I'd been wondering the exact same thing! With only 3 crit cards in each might deck, using dice for crit resolution might make crit-chains a bit less rare. There's nothing in the rulebook which explicitly forbids it, so unless the designer says it's against the spirit of the game, I guess it's allowed. I do hope the game eventually gets an FAQ.
@@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283 Funny coincidence! Being in opposite ends of the world doesn't stop great minds to think alike * coughing * ;-) I do hope for the FAQ, with such an extensive game some inaccuracies are bound to happen.
Fantastic video series. Thanks for putting this together. Hope to see more Oathsworn content but interested to know if you are backing any other similar kickstarters such as Stormsunder, Arena the Contest, Aeon Trespass Odyssey, KDM, Wild Assent, Primal. Subscribed!
Thanks for the feedback, glad it was helpful. I'm a sucker for big campaign games, and am working on some more board game videos at the moment. Compared to most board gamers on TH-cam, my Kickstarter budget is pretty modest. Fortunately, all those games you mentioned will get a ton of coverage on TH-cam, one way or another.
Awesome game and videos… :-D Just a question. The Ranger plays longshot and increases the range 4 with „Short bow“. After that, longshot goes to battleflow position 1 but not the „short bow“. Shouldn‘t go both of them? Thank you in advance and best regards!
If you play an item card for its ability (i.e. the text at the bottom), then yes: you must pay the animus cost, and place the card on cooldown. (There's an example of that, with the Ranger's bow, in the next video). But you don't play item cards for their passive effects (range, might cubes, and defense values). Hope this helps.
Hiya, im unclear about your movements at 24:06 . There seem to be 3 potential options but I'm not sure why the one you chose is the most viable. Could you elaborate please?
Thanks for great videos! I have one thought about Cur. He can make insanely damage from rear but if you attack rear and the health-dice is broken, can you still add all extra damage but in an other location? All the best
A wuestion regards ng rangee characters targeting closest location. Does that means vlosest as in number of hex spaces, or closest as in you checking LOS (tightening a rope)?
There is a rule for this situation. (Although I haven't encountered it myself). The boss will target the nearest oathsworn, as if they were visible. (Curse all those dry twigs on the forest floor!)
at 28:41 Headbutt ability shows that it is an interrupt ability that can be used "after an adjacent enemy DRAWS damage." You played it after the enemy REVEALED the damage that they drew. Which is it? It should be written so it cannot be misunderstood.
Yes, I see your point. (Though for reasons I won't bore you with, I think that the interpretation in the video was the right one). Thanks for the feedback.
Amazing videos. One question: wouldn't the giant rats that got spawned by the Release the Brood ability have had to move and attack immediately by the same ability (Release the Brood)?
Thanks. Unless instructed otherwise, minions activate _after_ the Stage Card has been resolved. The instructions for Release the Brood also end with the reminder "The rats move and attack at the end of the encounter phase."
after the ranger shots with short bow and long shot, why didnt you put short bow into cooldown position 1? i thought when i use an ability on weapons or items, i also have to put it into cooldown position?
I was looking through this again to catch whatever error I may have made. You play two ability cards for the Ranger in one turn. According to the rulebook you can only play one ability card pr. Turn. Or have I misunderstood something?
@@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283 Okay.. I think I'm missing something fundamental here. So the Oathsworn phase could go Player 1 moves and attacks, player 2 moves and attacks, player 3 moves and attacks, player 1 attacks, player 3 moves, player 2 attacks.. THEN Encounter phase?
@@theblaznee Indeed. I had a crack at summarizing this - at 01:08 - but the rulebook does a better (and more detailed) job. See page 8, 'Oathsworn Phase'. Hope you're enjoying the game.
why not just apply the golden North West rule to determine the correct destination hex rather than each step of the way for enemy movement? I can't think of any example where you don't end up at the Northern most/Western most destination hex (out of two options) by following the North West rule along the way.
Firstly, the movement rules determine the enemy's path, not just their destination. Secondly, there could be cases where the correct destination hex might not be the most northern/western one. Here's an example: drive.google.com/file/d/1K2Hq6ha0kAYyC5kaIK4GY7ubsxsHo8-d/view But as mentioned in the video, you don't have to calculate the path one step at a time, if you don't want to. Any approach is good, as long as you find the one correct path. Good luck, and thanks for the feedback.

You're welcome - thanks for the feedback.
These videos are amazing, very well explained and funny to watch at the same time. Well done and thanks a lot! Can't wait for the game to arrive.
Yeah, even making the videos was fun. Like you, I can't wait to play the real thing!

my second wave pledge just came and these videos are great for learning the rules. great job!
These are brilliant, hilarious commentary, a real breath of fresh air. Bravo.
Really great Video! Thanks a lot for the explanation and impressive visual representation!
Thanks!
Awesome video! I wish every board game have these kinds of tutorials.
Excellent video series!!! The rules was well covered and the presenter was easy to understand and humorous to boot!

This is just top notch...I will be rewatching this one again when my game actually ships. Thank you tons for doing this!

Got here through a BGG post from you. Absolutely love the series and production value. Good work!

These videos are the best! Thank you so much for making them.
Incredibly well explained video, great examples that cover both regular and exceptions saving time. + Points for the humor to keep the attention ❤
Your videos are truly amazing and well made!

22:50 there is no line og sight is it?
You're correct, thanks for bringing it up. I've added a note to the description.

Again, these videos are really amazing. Instructive and funny to see. Great job
@@davidv.5779 Thanks! I appreciate the feedback.

Thanks for the comment. I haven't played the Cur yet, so couldn't say. Sorry about that.
A wuestion regards ng rangee characters targeting closest location. Does that means vlosest as in number of hex spaces, or closest as in you checking LOS (tightening a rope)?
Thanks for great videos!
One question. What happen if the boss has no LOS on any character? If everyone is hiding behind the trees. How will she move?
There is a rule for this situation. (Although I haven't encountered it myself). The boss will target the nearest oathsworn, as if they were visible. (Curse all those dry twigs on the forest floor!)
I'm your turn you can move and play an ability card in any other they wish?
at 28:41 Headbutt ability shows that it is an interrupt ability that can be used "after an adjacent enemy DRAWS damage." You played it after the enemy REVEALED the damage that they drew. Which is it? It should be written so it cannot be misunderstood.
Yes, I see your point. (Though for reasons I won't bore you with, I think that the interpretation in the video was the right one). Thanks for the feedback.
Another question about the might cards, do you have the option of using those or could you use the dice instead of you so choose?
Yes, you can even mix-and-match cards and dice, if you want to.
@@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283 that is great to know
Amazing videos. One question: wouldn't the giant rats that got spawned by the Release the Brood ability have had to move and attack immediately by the same ability (Release the Brood)?

@@adventuresincreativesoftwa6283 My bad. Thanks for the amazing video series.
after the ranger shots with short bow and long shot, why didnt you put short bow into cooldown position 1? i thought when i use an ability on weapons or items, i also have to put it into cooldown position?
I don't use her bow's (text) ability, in this video. (Though I do in a later round).
All done via DaVinci and Fusion?
Mostly done with Blender and HitFilm, but with a sprinkle of Fusion comps as well.
I was looking through this again to catch whatever error I may have made. You play two ability cards for the Ranger in one turn. According to the rulebook you can only play one ability card pr. Turn.
Or have I misunderstood something?
The Ranger plays 2 turns in a row, which is fine, provided all players agree.

Might just simplify the game by doing the north west rule Ralph mentioned and just forget about situations where I'm wrong
: )
