- Watch the playthrough of this solo adventure. Castle Ravenloft is a dungeon crawler board game in the Dungeon & Dragon world. Roll your d20 and combat monsters, collect treasure an level up your character with XP.
I have watched a fair number of board game playthroughs and I found yours to be the most helpful and enjoyable. Somehow you've found the perfect blend of explanation and playthrough. Way to go!
Thank you for your encouraging words!
Fantastic, well done. Very helpful and interesting. Thank you for keeping it streamlined. I appreciate you keeping everything strait to the point and no needless talk.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comments!
A very underrated channel! 😊
Thank you for the support!
Love this video. These playthroughs are very helpful to me for learning games like this. I'm playing the first mission right now. Vampire Strahd is hot on my tail right now.
Glad you like it! Get that Strahd, you got this!
You taught me how to play Adventure Begins and now you have taught me how to play Castle Ravenloft! Thank you for your easy to follow and clearly explained videos much appreciated! Subbed
Welcome to the village! Thank you for your feedback, it's great to hear it!
Only thing I'd prefer is if this particular game was based off version 5 instead of version 4.
@@MPArmy123GDtime Unfortunately, 5e wasn't released when this game was made.
This is my first D&D board game and me and my nephew just spent HOURS trying to figure this game out, we would get stuck and would setup cards to pretend we were in that situation until we could figure out what it meant. Then i find your video and OMG this would of saved us SO MUCH TIME. Thanks!
Now you know where to find me! Hope you enjoyed the game!
Thank you for showing this game off. It really helped to see it played.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Your videos are the best! Great visuals and you are an excellent narrator/host! Thank you!
Thanks for your kind words and support!
Awesome playthrough. Love the easy to read cards.
Glad you like them! We are trying to give our viewers the whole experience so you can easily follow along! Thanks, Martha glad you enjoyed it!
Good video, clear and useful. Strange character power though. One of the tough things of these games is being able to roll badly. Auto hit is rather easy in my mind.
Dice can be our worst enemy!
Great game.
Just one small mistake, at 14:25 the Spider acidic web is +11 you would have taken 1 less damage and be slowed. I haven't played in a long time but I think that you can't do move+attack+move its either move+attack, attack+move or two moves but thanks to Alisa's scout ability doesn't matter in this case.
Also, don't forget that you can also use xp to cancel encounter cards.
Thanks for pointing all that out. I checked the rulebook and you are correct: you cannot move+attack+move. Hope you enjoyed the playthrough and hope you get Castle Ravenloft back on the table soon!
Anyone struggling with this game should check out the fan made revised rules on BGG. It improves the game greatly and makes it much more pleasant.
I will check those out
Id watch this as a series going through all 6 of the games (all adventures).
That's good to know, I have been wondering about making more content for this game! ;-)
super helpful for seeing what the game is like, thanks!
Glad to hear it!
Great presentation. Subscribed!
Welcome aboard! Thanks for subscribing! More videos coming soon...
26:45 - One thing I noticed ... the monster you place on the Chapel Tile is in addition to the normal monster you place for drawing a tile. If you read the back cover of the Rulebook, it says this under the "Castle Ravenloft Adventure Clarifications" section. So, there should have been two monsters placed. 1 for drawing a tile like normal, and 1 more for each Hero that is playing.
31:35 - You have to take 2 encounters every turn. 1 for not exploring, and 1 because of the rules of the Chapel Tile. (The game is brutal!) This is also stated on that clarifications page.
Brutal indeed!
Yeah I picked up this game again last week and have been playing it every evening. I've played Adventure 2 four times and died every time. I've even given myself the 3rd Healing Surge they suggest in the rulebook for making things easier. But when you play this game by the rules (not missing monsters, not missing encounters, playing with the required number of heroes), it's practically impossible.
@@blixel3210 You got this!
Personally when i play these boardgames once i discover the hidden chamber and begin the final fight, i stop the encounter cards, why should u have encounters if ur done exploring. These games are fun but they need to think the rules out better for all the games
I agree with your sentiment. Playing by the rules as they are written makes Ravenloft EXTREMELY difficult. I recently started playing Legend of Drizzt, and it's much easier ... and arguably more fun. The reason is they split the Monster/Treasure/Encounter decks in half. So for your first few adventures, you only use the first half of the deck by design. I imagine once you mix in the other half, it becomes much harder. Also, Legend of Drizzt has Monster cards that literally say, "Don't place a monster this turn.", and treasure items that let you instantly level up. It's just overall more casual in my experience.
When I play Castle Ravenloft again, I plan on removing at least 2 out of the 3 Wraiths, Blazing Skeletons, and Gargoyles. 1 of each is more than enough. The rules say you can "mix and match" the games as needed, so I feel like it's still within the rules to simply remove copies of those monsters that basically make the game unwinnable unless you just have extremely good luck on the dice rolls always rolling in your favor.
Great playthrough! Very good explanation of the game. Just a question about the setup. I see you have 2 tiles (1 left and 1 right) next to the start tile. Is that part of the setup? Or have you explored them yet? Weren't there any monsters? I hope to see you do a playthrough with more explorers, when things get messy with more monsters. Keep up the good work!
The setup in the adventure book indicating assembling the map with those two tiles already out. Having more heroes does mean more chaos and monsters! Thanks for your words of encouragement, see you on the next one!
Love the idea of Ravenloft in the D&D world. Wish they would do a Icewind Dale board too.
There's always room for more D&D !!!
Thank you very much for this. I now can be super lazy and not read as much in order to know how to play! CHEERS! :) Great play through as well. I very much so enjoyed it!
I am glad I can help with your laziness!?! Really glad you enjoyed it!
This was great. I needed a run down of this as I am running it this weekend at a meetup. I was under the impression that you could burn 5 xp to ignore an event card, and it implies in the rules that you move and attack or attack and move but I didn't think you could "split" your movement. Is that an option in a q&a somewhere?
You can burn 5 XP to cancel an encounter once you have revealed it. Movement cannot be split, you either move and then attack, or attack and then move.
@@MeepleVillage OK Thanks!
@@dzeclectic2327 Have fun in the meetup!
Hey! Great video! Where do you get the organizer where you have all the figures and the health tokens? Does it fit in the game box?
The organizer fits all of the game components in the box. I got it at www.thebrokentoken.com
Thank you for your video :)
My pleasure!
HAHA victory, thoust did smite that gargoyle verily 😄
Awsome play through, love your vids 👍
Thank you! You sound like an awesome DM!
Hello! Great video! I have a question. Why you didnt level up your character when you gain 5 experience ;
Glad you enjoyed it! You need to roll a natural 20 and pay 5XP in order to level up your character.
Where did you get your card holder? Did you make that? I really like it.
I got it here: thebrokentoken.com/
Just watched this with automatically generated subtitles to don't bother my girlfriend next to me in bed. The word Ravenloft was often misspelled as "Ramen love", "Rabbit loved" and "Rabbid love" 🤣🤣🤣 and other gold mispelling like "subaru move" (?) and the Wraith being mispelled "Rape" 😱
I do love Ramen! The rest, I can't really explain. Hope you enjoyed the video and got a laugh from the funny phrases!
Please tell me the wonderful card holder you are using. I love that it has a discard stack below it!
It comes very handy! I got it at www.thebrokentoken.com They have really good, quality organizers!
Hi there, where can I find that cards holder you're using to deal cards in the video? Thank you
I got those at thebrokentoken.com They have cool stuff for gamers!
You are so beautiful
Thank you
Your welcome
I've followed your videos and taken your advice....I've really enjoyed Legend of Drizzt and learned to play it from your videos. So....I don't have to have this one but I found a sale....40 bucks....can you tell me if you like this one better than Legend of Drizzt?
I like both, the best part is that you can mix them together. I am planning to do a runthrough of this soon
@@MeepleVillage ok, thank you! Mixing them will make a great video for viewers I think! Awesome 😎
