Get to know the game and then “story” it to her. Explain the room and let her know what she can do(what her options are) and let her play at an easy level. Pull your punches a little bit but make it challenging.
Just got to say, I was looking for a video to explain how this game works and I found yours to be the best by far! It’s not overly complicated and very easy to follow compared to others that I have tried. Thanks ever so much. My daughter is super happy we can now play this. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much! We got this for my dad a year or two ago and the night we were going to play it our brains exploded in confusion when we saw the first page of the instructions
Thanks so much for this video! I am curious about what customizable box that is that you have for the token holder. We play a lot of different games with tokens and would love to have something like that.
Once again, well done. You have gotten me through RE2 the boardgame as well as IDW tmnt change is constant. Now this. Always happy to see a game I enjoy being broken down here. Thank you.
Hi 👋🏻 This video is excellent and really helped me to get my head around the game 😃👍🏻 Can I ask what the legendary treasure card ‘Copper Bones’ does? I can’t find anything in the manual or online and I found the card itself very unclear as to what it does. Thanks in advance 😊
Thanks for watching and for the question. Goonies will start fresh at the beginning of each adventure with no items or treasure and their starting amount of wish tokens.
Hi I wanted to ask you about something. If I want to replace one of my dice during the check for a trial, do I have to FIRST spend a wish token and THEN roll my dice? That is, if I see that a trial may be difficult in advance I try to use a wish token right away? Then when I have replaced the die, do I roll both dice together? Thank you
Sorry for the later reply, So for any Dice check you are doing you must start by choosing to upgrade dice before any rolls are done. Example: lets say you are attacking and get two red dice and you want to upgrade them both to blue you will need to spend two wish tokens to upgrade them. Lets also say another player helps you and gives you one blue as well you can't upgrade dice given to you and you can never roll more than three dice. Once you have completed upgrading your dice than you will roll all the dice you have. Hope this helps thanks for watching and for the question;)
I asked this too and someone told me that you set up fresh and the GM follows the special rules for their setup indicated at the bottom of the previous Adventure (an extra GM token and card if the Goonies won). :)
Thanks so much for watching and for the question;) This one is actually covered on the back of the rule book and it states there is no limit on GM tokens and if you run out you can use a substitute to represent more of them.
They are call pods and you can get them from Crystal Fortress. They are acrylic and you can change there layouts by moving the dividers. Highly recommend them;)
Sorry for the late reply I didn't see your question. The GM will give you legendary treasure cards when instructed to do so by the mission you are playing.
Question about Adventure 1. It stipulates that Adventure 1 doesn't use any GM cards. Does this mean we simply don't start with GM cards but still draw on our turn? Or does it mean for Adventure 1 we don't start with GM cards and we do not even draw any during our round?
@@LearntoPlayGames @ okay cool thanks man. I kinda got the jist of what you said in your video but I was a little confused at first when I tried the first adventure
@@LearntoPlayGames Definitely. I am a huge Goonies fan and actually live in Oregon so I was able to see the places on the Oregon coast where it was filmed. Astoria is quite an awesome town. Not just the Goonies was filmed there but also Kindergarten Cop, Short Circuit and Free Willy were too. In fact the very school that was used in Kindergarten Cop is right down the street from the Goonies house.
@@LearntoPlayGames And the Bayview Cottages where Schwarzenegger stayed in the movie was actually right across the street from the Ford dealership where I bought my first car.
Need some help understanding some game play. Other adventures that use one eyed willie or the octopus can become a different version of themselves. How does this happen? Game instructions aren’t clear.
If you are talking about the different sides of Willie's and the Octopus's plasticards than it is outlined in the adventure you are playing for example in one of the adventures Willie starts on the spectral side and once you defeat him than you flip his card to the physical side. Hope this helps clear things up for you. Thanks for watching and for the question;)
I was looking a this for my 7 year old and I. I cant imagine trying to explain this to her. Even myself will have to watch this twice.

Thanks so much, It is great to hear my video was helpful. Hope you and your daughter have a great time playing;)
Crystal clear explanation ! one-eyed willie will be proud 💀
Fantastic explanation. Explaining the steps of the GM was crucial. Thank you.
Your welcome, thanks for watching and I hope you have fun with the game.
Thank you so much! We got this for my dad a year or two ago and the night we were going to play it our brains exploded in confusion when we saw the first page of the instructions

I need an answer to this!😅 Nothing I search for matches his box. His box looks so perfect for this game.

So helpful, thank you. I have the game but not had a chance to learn how to play it yet.
Your welcome, thanks for watching and posting. We did a couple of play throughs as well if you want to see it in action. Hope you enjoy the game;)
This was a great explanation. I wanted to learn to GM to teach my wife to play, since she got me the game for my birthday. This was VERY helpful.
It's kind of just a simpler DND with Goonies characters. Super cool.
How did it go?
Once again, well done. You have gotten me through RE2 the boardgame as well as IDW tmnt change is constant. Now this. Always happy to see a game I enjoy being broken down here. Thank you.
Thanks so much for continuing to come back to my channel to learn your games and I hope you have a great time playing them as well;)
You made a very good video, great quality, good lighting, good explanation!
Thank you very much!
Just added this to our family game night!
I know this is a late post compared to when the video was posted, but I was wondering where you got the tray you used to hold all the pieces?

I too wish to know where you got that awesome token box!

Hi 👋🏻
This video is excellent and really helped me to get my head around the game 😃👍🏻
Can I ask what the legendary treasure card ‘Copper Bones’ does?
I can’t find anything in the manual or online and I found the card itself very unclear as to what it does.
Thanks in advance 😊
Absolutely excellent. THANK YOU!
You're very welcome! Hope you have a great time with it;)
Great video, can goonies carry over their items and treasure to the next adventure? And wish tokens?
Thanks for watching and for the question. Goonies will start fresh at the beginning of each adventure with no items or treasure and their starting amount of wish tokens.
Yea, I know this was from two years ago, but you can alter the rules however you want.
Hi I wanted to ask you about something. If I want to replace one of my dice during the check for a trial, do I have to FIRST spend a wish token and THEN roll my dice? That is, if I see that a trial may be difficult in advance I try to use a wish token right away? Then when I have replaced the die, do I roll both dice together? Thank you

Once you have completed upgrading your dice than you will roll all the dice you have. Hope this helps thanks for watching and for the question;)
At the end of an adventure, do the Goonies keep the treasure and item cards they have collected and carry them over into the next adventure?
I asked this too and someone told me that you set up fresh and the GM follows the special rules for their setup indicated at the bottom of the previous Adventure (an extra GM token and card if the Goonies won).
:)
I just got this game and the expansion set.....where to begin???
it is so much fun, waiting for my copy of the expansion to come in;)
Any idea why the bone pile tokens stay on the board after being searched..being flipped to the exclamation point side? Do they serve a purpose?
Wondered the same
One of the GM card can activate a skeleton crew from the ! Bone pile stash.
What about the peril cards?
Great video! Very helpful! Is there a limit to how many GM tokens the GM can hold???
Thanks so much for watching and for the question;) This one is actually covered on the back of the rule book and it states there is no limit on GM tokens and if you run out you can use a substitute to represent more of them.
Where did you get that token holder that you are using?
They are call pods and you can get them from Crystal Fortress. They are acrylic and you can change there layouts by moving the dividers. Highly recommend them;)
Does foes move twice?
How do they get a legendary treasure card? We are to the end and it says they need one. There's only 1 for adventure 1. How do they get it?
Sorry for the late reply I didn't see your question. The GM will give you legendary treasure cards when instructed to do so by the mission you are playing.
It was really hard to learn but I think I understand now
Also 1 more question how do the goodies win again?
We bought this game on Christmas and we just unpacked it… I’ll let you know
Hope you have a great time with it.
Question about Adventure 1. It stipulates that Adventure 1 doesn't use any GM cards.
Does this mean we simply don't start with GM cards but still draw on our turn?
Or does it mean for Adventure 1 we don't start with GM cards and we do not even draw any during our round?
Oooh! Strike that, nevermind lol.
I see now we don't use the Adventure GM cards but we do draw regular GM cards on our round!😅
No worries thanks for watching and I hope you have fun with the game;)
How do you know which color dice to roll when you take a turn?
It will be based on your characters card stats than you can also pay to upgrade it for that roll.
@@LearntoPlayGames @ okay cool thanks man. I kinda got the jist of what you said in your video but I was a little confused at first when I tried the first adventure
JUST ONE QUESTION DO TREASURE CARDS PERSIST THROUGH ADVENTURES?
NEVERMIND JUST SAW THE OTHER COMMENT
@@devinsaunders3229 Thanks for watching;) hope you have a great time with the game.
This game looks awesome

The Goonies meets HeroQuest.
I would agree. Thanks for checking out the video;)
