I really appreciate this kind of videos where a guy take his time to explain how to play a game. Good job and keep it up!

[@Nero7441]

I was interested in this game so was looking for a how-to-play video. Came across this and I believe this is the best explanation video I could ever see for this game.

[@michaelwestmoreland2530]

Thank you for using the new TH-cam feature where the play bar is broken down into chunks. Love it.

[@AlwayzFresh]

Brilliant walkthrough! unsealed the plastic and set up and played along with your video with zero issues. I'm now ready to move on and just keep the rulebook nearby for reference. Cheers, and thank you very much.

[@stevengeis6295]

Wow, I've watched a ton of How to Play videos for various board games and your's is one of the best. Your instructions and explanations are very clear and methodical. Well done. Hope you keep doing them.

[@AlbionGames]

Thanks for this crystal clear explanation. Very professional production.

[@SaintWiccan]

Super excited for this play thru! 👍🏼😊

[@Broodlord]

I just play it after fullpaint, and this game is really fun, maybe too much, for such grimmdark setting:)

[@marcusmattei4155]

Thankyou for an excellent clear and concise explanation of the rules Michael, best on youtube!
Thankyou and looking forward to your playthrough!

[@Khelben7]

So Perfect! Timing is excellent as I want this to hit the table 👍🏻👍🏻

[@asowle]

just yesterday i finished painting the season 2 box... love this game so much, and i know your videos on it will be joyful....

[@ronaldbell7429]

Nice rundown of the game. Thank you very much

[@johndawson3442]

Great video - subscribed

[@dmitrybelozertsev1826]

Thank you so much! Just one question - on stage 3 Cthulhu will have 7 dices and 36 hit points? or 7 dices and 12 hit points?

[@johnioannis8206]

Hi! Can i ask?
When the old one comes to the board at the and of my turn we active when he sommoned effects top row of stage 2 card right?
We also, at the summoning after when summoned effects activate and the end of each turn effects?
Or these counts from the next round?
Very cool video :)

[@ArcaneCowboy]

Really good walk through.
The bizarre pronunciation of the word "mythos" that Cthulhu fans have adapted makes my ears bleed.

[@misiopuchatek152]

One of the best games of 2019 🥰

[@2shloop]

Whose thos? My thos

[@craigsentz1962]

so 5 minutes into video.. is this 100$ game good for just 12 sessions.... thats what I am counting without buying more

[@LastNameTom]

Yeah, but it's a hard game so you will be playing the same episode a few times with different characters until you win. So, it's closer to about 20 plays.

[@stevenzaharakis]

I Cringe at the pronunciation of Mythos lol

[@boardgameaddict4262]

Haha me too. Was looking for a comment like this? Wasn't sure i was the only one that it bugged.
Great video otherwsie, very helpful
