    Question: If you craft a flashlight does that mean that every players gets a 1 point reduction in moral if they have an encounter, or just the player holding the flashlight?
    Answer: The player who carries the flashlight (or the cat-carrier) benefits from the item, not the entire crew. However, if another crew member is in the same space as the player with the item, then they benefit too.

    I absolutely love this game. Quite easy to learn and play. Also quite easy to bend rules to make it tougher. Try it with one or two of these house rules at a time:
    1. Players + 2 objectives.
    2. Objectives are kept secret. Only one objective can be revealed at a time. To reveal objectives, even the first one, visit MU-TH-UR first. Place concealed token there as you leave.
    3. Start with all 13 concealed tokens placed.
    4. After the encounter phase, Ash always moves 1 space.
    5. Whenever Ash moves into a room, place a concealed token in there.
    6. During the encounter phase, place only one scrap, regardless of what the card says.
    7. Either (a) one item of each type can exist at any time, or (b) each item type can only be crafted twice per game.
    8. The crew *must always* find and capture Jonesy. No exceptions.
    Another fun rule is that one player play with the encounter deck. This works with that player drawing two cards, choosing one to play and the other goes to the bottom. The alien always moves at least one space.

    The first person to notice potentially game-breaking errata in any game rulebook and cards these days goes first. The first one to post FAQ on BGG goes second ; )
    I watched the vid once and didn’t read the comments so here’s mine:
    As you mention at the end the BGG link is useful (I hope publishers contribute to their annual fund drive!) Errata “Ignore the Setup graphic in the printed rulebook. It's incorrect. Also, the Motion Tracker cost shown in the rulebook is incorrect. Amend the 3 in the rulebook to a 2 to match the reference cards.” At least some designers and/or publishers answer FAQ's when the game first comes out. And in this case a 'Director's Cut' official variant. He's adamant that no Crew dies though. It wsn’t in his design brief.
    I don’t think you mentioned the Jonsey Conceal Door token does not cause you to flee another 3 spaces, unlike the Alien Surprise Attack by which you stop while he Stalks you. I would have made special mention (since you skipped it on the card and Jones is a unique Morale loss token) if you have the Cat Carrier you can place Jones Door tokens (2 in the game) underneath it without losing Morale.
    6:30 BGG FAQ: Q: Can you willfully move into the Alien's space?
    A: Yes, and if you do, lower Morale and flee as normal. [your Crew Phase ends] However, don't forget to continue your turn with the Encounter Phase. (Only when revealing a Surprise Attack token do you skip the Encounter Phase)
    10:53 My nitpick about the rulebook vs card it says to place a Conceal Token first but the card Scrap icon is on the left reading left to right. It doesn’t matter. Another nitpick is inconsistent use of terminology and an incorrect quote on an Objective card ‘Drive ‘em into the airlock’ (sounds like rustinlin’ cattle) should be ‘Drive It into the Airlock’. It’s an important IP it should be correct.
    Btw an eagle-eyed BGG user noted the cat art the box "Jonesy had a collar on the game box art....they’ve actually drawn Goose from Captain Marvel!" The exact pose from a photo. The Crew placard art is very nice probably drawn from promo stills.
    11:40 I would have made special mention that you can use the Flashight or Electric Prod during an Alien Attack since they don’t take actions to use and you don’t need to use them only when it’s your turn. They reduce the Morale loss from Encounter Cards. Morale loss is a huge deal in the game. Mitigating it with those items is important. I know you said to read the player aid card but it takes a few seconds to note.
    Even though they don’t have an ASH plastic figure I like the look of the standee. The plastic figures are nice & solid. The board art is adequate.
    I like to play this on my Star Wars X-wing starfield playmat lol. This game is more winnable with three Crew and very difficult with all five.

    Hi there! Great explanation. There is one confusion though in the rulebook regarding the motion detector / motion tracker : the memo for items card says it needs 2 scrap tokens to be crafted. But the rulebook says it needs 3 (and calls it a motion tracker). Which option seems right according to you? And regarding the objective cards, there are always as many as the number of players +1. Does it mean we can each freely choose one and / or even partially contribute to these objectives? Many thanks :)

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, there was a typo between the rules and player aid, but the player aid is correct saying it costs 2 scrap.
      It does not matter who completes the objectives. It might be a single player who performs the action to complete each one, players are just working together to ensure each objective is completed successfully, so everyone is contributing in their own way, if you know what I mean.

    Question: In the self-destruct phase, the active player removes one of the four self-destruct tokens from the tracker at the start of their turn.

    When an item says “up to two spaces away” or “up to three space away” does that include rooms attached to ladders? For example, if I am two spaces from a ladder and the alien is on the other end of that ladder (making it 3 spaces) can I still shoot the incinerator at the alien? Or does it have to physically be within 3 spaces?

    Hi Rodney, can you please clarify the rule about the Trade action?
    In your video, and on the player action reference card, it seems that when you do a Trade action you have to be the active participant in the trade, also in your explanation it seems that only you and one other crew member can be part of the trade.
    However, in the rulebook it seems to say that doing the Trade action means that you don't have to be an active participant in the trade, and by performing the action you're allowing all crew members who are in the same space give or take any number of items and scrap as they're able amongst each other, regardless of whether you are offering any items or scrap to the trade.
    Just wondered if you were able to offer a clarification on that rule please.

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  ปีที่แล้ว

      They do not have to be active in the trade. Their action starts the trade, and they need to be in the space where the trading is occurring, but as long as all 3 players are in one room the others can trade. For example: Player A says they are using an action to trade. Players B, and C in the same space can then swap things around. Hope that helps!

    Setup clarification: The setup picture in the rulebook shows some Concealed Tokens in places that are not listed as needing them for the starting setup. To be specific, the setup instructions does not say to add Concealed Tokens to the MU-TH-UR, Hypersleep, Airlock or Equipment Storage spaces, but in the setup picture those spaces appear to have one. I also just noticed that in the setup picture there is no Concealed Token in the Maintenance space despite the setup instructions stating there should be. Why is this? Is this simply to show that concealed tokens will randomly appear throughout the board during the game? Do concealed tokens need to be placed in these areas of the board during setup according to the picture? Am I just confused and those are not concealed tokens I'm seeing? Is this all just a setup picture error? I am betting that no matter what the picture shows I should only follow the setup's written instructions, but again I just want to be exactly sure. Thank you so much for clarifying!

    We played this last night and had 2 questions that weren't super clear in the directions...would love to hear your take! 1) if you are moving to a certain room and along the way you pass through another room with a conceal token, do you flip it? 2) my sister had the flashlight which reduces the lost morale by 1. Directions say she could use this when it wasn't her turn. We interpreted this as ANY of us who lost morale on our turn could use her flashlight, which effectively meant that any jonesy encounter ended up being moot (1 lost morale point but flashlight nullified it)...are we using the flashlight correctly? Thanks!

      Hey there, I'm always happy to try to help with rules questions, but if the answer is provided in the video, than I have to direct you there. You'll find an index in the description to help you find the section you might be looking for. That will cover your question on conceal tokens.
      For the Flashlight, only the player who carries the flashlight (or the cat-carrier) benefits from the item, not the entire crew. However, if another crew member is in the same space as the player with the item, then they benefit too. It pays to move in groups (until the Alien shows up)
