    There's a lot of concepts going on, but for a first playthrough you managed really well to navigate within these accursed and icy halls. Well done. :)
    There are some things I would like to point:
    22:49 Jesse's first active ability has a target, which means the target will be affected, not him. This means the attack and the "reduce range by 1 this round" (Active abilities, page 23). This can come in handy against some ranged monsters later in the game.
    Same applies to Artemis and his "reduce attack rolls by 1", which means he will weaken the attack of the monsters he is attacking.
    As a final note, the (max 1) means that the lasting effect can't be stacked (Lasting effect, page 26) and it will last until the start of the next Explorer phase.
    28:40 If an attack would affect more than one unit (such as a trap, exploding barrel or in this case from a horror event), only one attack roll is made, the result of which is then applied to all blockers (Attack, page 14).
    34:37 For marking the closed doors use the door figure (that will be placed in the stand). You used the destroyed door token, which is placed once the doors are destroyed.
    36:53 Force alternator has a two targets icon (Two targets, page 25), which means that one target unit will have a decreased and another target an increased armor and will. This lasting effect will last until the next Explorer phase.
    46:01 Moonbeast wouldn't be able to pull Jesse because there's an obstacle in the way (that ability can't target through obstacles in the same way Yaddithian was able to).
    48:47 When you use Phrenetic venom you first attack yourself for 1 black die. Afterwards all of your attack rolls until the start of the next Explorer phase are increased by 3.
    Remember that an active ability that doesn't require a legal target (as it is with Phrenetic venom) affects the activating unit by default (which means yourself in this case).
    49:34 Correct, Force alternator is considered a ranged weapon.
    If the weapon has a ranged active ability with an attack effect, it is considered a “ranged weapon”.
    If the weapon has a melee active ability with an attack effect it is considered a “melee weapon”. (Ranged targeting, page 25).
    52:32 Byakhee is just 1 step from Jesse (one top-right diagonal movement), and Artemis 2 steps.
    54:07 True Moonbeast can't even target you with his pull ability. You correctly moved him to be adjacent to Jesse.
    Looking forward to see the deaths of Jesse and Artemis! ';..;'

      Thank you so much for this information. I will make a note in the video to help explain these rules, and mention them I. The next video so everyone will be able to know. This game is amazing. I am having a blast playing it. I love how much it makes you think and react on the fly it’s such an thrilling experience.

      So, what should he have rolled specifically for the horror event attack at 28:40? The card shows two different dice pools. Do the players pick which dice pool to use when separated by a semi colon like that?

    • @MeetMeAtTheTable
      @MeetMeAtTheTable  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Great question. That horror event hits all explores. You roll the black and 2 white dice. Compare that to the will of all the explorers. deal damage to those that the roll met or beat the will. Then the horror card will attack again with 2 white dice targeting all explorers and check the attack number against all the will of the explorers. What Machina arecana was explaining is your don’t roll for each individual when an attack targets more then One unit. Hope that make sense. Thanks for the great question and thanks for watching

    Thanks for the video. I got my copy of the game a few days ago, and this is really helping to solidify the rules in my mind before I try to get it to the table and teach it to my friends.
    One thing is bugging me though. Shouldn't you have flipped to chapter 2 by now? The entry card is out, so that condition has been fulfilled, and there is no blocking symbol at the top of the card. Looking at my own copy, chapter 2 also has a bonus effect your explorers can use that might help them......

    • @MeetMeAtTheTable
      @MeetMeAtTheTable  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Your welcome glad I could help you understand the rules. Make sure you turn on the Klingon subtitles, and read the comment from Machina Arcana in the comments section. There are a few rule mistakes that were made. I will be explaining these in the next video.
      As for your question about the chapter. Each chapter card will have either a locked symbol explaining how to advance to the next chapter. if there isn’t one The way to advance to the next chapter is by activating the chapter event space. Sadly the rule for this is not found in the “chapter section” of the rules it’s found under the “map tile” section under the “chapter space” it’s not well explained. I was confused about this rule for a while. Thanks for the great comment I hope you enjoy the game and thanks as always Lewis for watching! 😃😃👍

  • @richardsands
    @richardsands 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    When you got the holster, you can't actually equip it for free, because it needs an augment action... The free equip action for apparel only really helps when you're not wearing armour, or want to switch to a different coat. Once you have on armour with upgrades and augment, it's not going to be worth unequipping all of it to equip one new item.
    All that means that you couldn't have used the cheap equip action for the weapon, though it is a cool weapon!
    Don't worry about being stuck on chapter one for a while;, my last game spiralled out of control and got up to monster level 3 before I could light the first chapter space, but I still almost made it to the endgame. I will defeat Her one day!

Especially if you do enjoy a challenging dungeon crawler. Of course there are many factors in a decision like this. It is a dark game, and I know that turned a few people I know away from the game.

    Quick questions: (1) Do we really count spaces "by the crow fly" to determine a monster spawning position, and not the actual path he his gonna take to reach an explorer?
    (2) Can an explorer destroy a door?
    (3) What are the black standees on the box for? Here you used only the transparent one for both monsters and explorers
    (4) What is the purpose of "augmenting" your items? The stats doesnt stack...

    • @MeetMeAtTheTable
      @MeetMeAtTheTable  4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Wow some great questions I’ll hopeful answer then the best I can.
      1. Yes this is hidden in the rule on of 24. “Determine target map space. I could have placed monster wrong during the playthrough but rule is “crows fly”.
      2. Yes it costs 4 stamina to do it. Only 2 to open it.
      3. Not sure about the black Standies I like the transparent ones. I haven’t even opened the black ones. No rules about the difference that I know of.
      4. Augmenting gives you the ability to make things better attaching upgrades to the right slots. As for the up and down slots it allows you to crate some super weapon of sorts from what I gather. Then you can decide which one to use when you attack. Normally you can only hold one 2 handed or 2 one. There is some info In the rules I haven’t augmented much yet. You could reach out to Machina Arcana on the Facebook site he responds to question, or ask the comunitee on BGG (board Game geek).
      So 3 out of 4 question answered not too bad 😃. Thanks for the great comment and as always thanks Logan for watching, and making me use my brain 🧠 😃😃👍. Hope you enjoy your time in Machina Arcana keep me updated.

      In question (4) I wrote "augment" but I meant "upgrade'".
      So upgrading is only here to "cheat" the 2 hands your explorer have? Sticking 2 weapons together with an upgrade wont make any of them better, it will just allow you to use either of them?
      So question (5) : what happens if you are forced to unequipped a weapon composed of 2 weapons upgraded? both of them are unequipped but they are still linked?

    • @MeetMeAtTheTable
      @MeetMeAtTheTable  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      For question 4. Yes that is the benefit, but yes it does become one weapon so if you have to unequip it the whole thing in equips. At least that is what it understand and would play it as.

      Great question. Many of your questions are answered in the next video. Machina arcana has a great post explaining some of the errors made in the video. Sadly the rules are. It the easiest to find or grasp. There are 2 types of ranged targeting methods one ignores obstacles and one doesn’t. The pull attack does not ignore obstacles so he couldn’t target Jesse when standing on the spawn space. Also the pull attack can’t target through other units since they are considers obstacles.
