+Watch It Played That was very confusing! I'm like... I get the "high quality" and "high energy", but Rodney doesn't review games... what is he talking about? It's just the way TH-cam quotes names. :) Glad you enjoyed the video!
Weird looking game, but looks kind of fun. Thanks for the video! Also, thanks for letting us see the different agent effects--that was the one question I had up until the end.
+Jamison VanLoocke I debated if the agent or card effects needed to be included, and we decided to include the agents in the end. Glad to know it was a good choice.
Thanks, Pep. I saw this at my FLGS the other day and wasn't sure whether I would like it, despite the appeal of the theme. Having seen this, I'm pretty sure I will. Decision made! ^_^
Are the coins that are offered to gain the favor of the Shadow Master lost or do they go back to your bank? If you lose them, does that apply to the players who haven't been able to win the bid as well?
+Marco Curvello If the Shadow Master token is flipped up or moved onto a new player’s dashboard then all coins bid for the shadow master are discarded (by all players).
Does this mean that at any one time after the two first trades, that there are only two agents (Lost Boy, Witch etc.) on the board? And when they move, can they only move a maximum of two move actions/cog tiles? Whether it's 2, 3 or 4 players? And we would need to clear an hour glass in order to increase number of move actions/cog tiles for agents?
+Angela Thas Hey Angela! You're example right that there will never be more than 2 Shadow Agents on the board. How they move is a little trickier. When they are moved, it is normally only 1 "cog tile" each. In a two player game though it's a bit different, and they can move 2 "cog tiles" each. And lastly, you do need to clear hourglass tokens if you want to increase the number of "cog tiles" which a particular Agent moves. It's important to note though, that the hourglasses you removed MUST be on the space where the Shadow Agent began their original movement.
+Pep MacDonald Ok, so it's 1 cog tile movement for Shadow Agent unless it's a two player game, and then if want more movements, remove hour glass as long as it is on the same cog tile of agent. Thanks so much, Pep! And for the instructional video of course! I love this game!
Hey pep I know ohms video was done some time ago but question. Is there a limit to the number of special actions cards you can have? Is that action to move any cog 90 degrees limited? I also think I misread the rules I thought every time you traded a new cohort (I forget what they are called) moved in thanks for clearing that up.
Hey Daren! Thanks for checking out the video. There is no limit to the number of special action cards you can have, nor to the number you can play on a single turn. The action which lets you rotate a tile 90 degrees (and provides you with a special action card) is limited to once per turn. And can only be used if your Gentleman is in the center tile. The part about trading is a little complicated. So the first time a trade is made, the agent in the (I) position moves onto the board where the trade took place. When the second trade is made, the agent in the (II) position moves onto the board where that second trade took place. But from this point on, agents enter and leave the board in a different way. Whenever the Shadow Master figure is moved onto a player's dashboard, you return whichever agent has been in play the longest, and replace it with the next one in line clockwise. So when (I) is removed, (III) would come into play in that same location. And this continues in that pattern each time the Shadow Master is moved onto a different player's dashboard.
Hey there, fake Rodney. (The color red betrayed you. I might start to call you "Redney", let's see if it sticks). Question, can you have more than five coins for the shadow master if you don't control him?
+msolec2000 Good question! This does only apply to the player currently controlling the Shadow Master. Also, I'm okay with being called Redney, as long as you call him Blueney.
One of the best board games i have ever seen!
The creater and art designer really did a great job!
+Cruzeiro5x02008e2009 Glad you enjoyed!
+Watch It Played By the way, your explanation was perfect as well!
The theme of this game is really intriguing. I also love the art.
Thanks for the video, Pep!
+Akagami Matsu No problem at all! Glad you enjoyed it.
Perfect timing. I plan on playing this game for the first time this weekend. Thank you!
+Ogee Glad we could help out! Feel free to play the video again when you teach it to the others you'll be playing with.
A favourite pastime ofmineis converting games to ideas I have to suite different narraties and this game is perfect for such an endeavour.
Nice! I just sent this video to my gaming group to prep before tomorrow's play through! Maybe I won't have to teach it :)

We'll see!

Atta boy PEP !!!! Nice Job, Now if we could only think of a way to get rid of Rodney..........Hmmmmmm!!!!!
+Pete Shirey Thanks a lot! I enjoy the videos with both of us in it a lot more though!

Is Pep short for something?
Just his nickname, but it's what everyone calls him.
Watch It Played i'm curious what his real name is

@@boardpep9711 since "Redney" is based on his name, perhaps his nickname should be based on Pep... So "Bloop"?
:( I miss Rodney. Please bring Rodney back!
+WarWizardRahl1 Rodney didn't go anywhere.
