Part I: Gameplay Runthrough

Part II: Extended Gameplay

Part III: Final Thoughts

[rahdo]

it's the hunter's 'resolve' meter which i didn't use much in the runthrough! :)

[rahdo]

you are correct sir! by that point, i had forgotten all about the minion! :)

[SHNHorror]

i really enjoyed this playthrough even though you were playing solo . Wish you would have done a final part . Thank you :)

[rahdo]

good catches, notes added! thanks for the time stamps too! :)

[Shikomon]

@56:50 you added a +1 to the assassins roll for previous dodge even though he actually didn't win the previous round. There are other comments about that in later combat but since this is the first instance of the mistake it makes sense to point it out. Given that the hunter had the higher initiative it ended up with the same result but still.

Fury of Dracula is the first board game I've bought in 10 years and your vids were main reason I was convinced. Keep up the good work. PS. Doesn't the maturing of vampire bride supposed to increase the Vampire track in top right corner, and not the day/night counter.

At 57:17
I don't get it why Dracula would want to play Relentless Minion.
That just gave Lord Godalming another try, as his turn would have been over if that card had not been played.
That way he would have been forced to spend another turn trying to defeat the agent (?)
Or am I wrong here?

also in hard version before fight (random Vampire) role a die. :D
1 Its a crap-pire the ones in the game :D
2 its a Children of the night, combat is made regularly and dracula heals 2, (hunter fighting this suffer 2 damage X = the number of bites made by this minion)
3 it Soul collector 3/4 if this vampire manages to bite a hunter dracula control the hunter until 2 tuns it can attack other hunters
(hunter fighting this suffer 3 damage X = the number of bites made by this minion)
4 Its a Vampire Noctutnus deal 3 damage to the first hero attempting to fight it, as long its not defeated all other Vampires in each encounter do 2 more damage to all characters before combat.
5 Its a Sengir Vampire 2 hunter needed to combat this if 1 hunter attempts to fight it the combat counts as 2 role and the Vampire stays.(hunter fighting this suffer 4+X damage X = the number of bites made by this minion)
6 its a Sangire baron 3 hunters are needed to fight it. if 1, 2 hunter attempts to fight it the combat counts as 2 role and the Vampire stays. (hunter fighting this suffer 5+X damage X = the number of bites made by this minion)

~ Magic the gathering is grate game :D

Instead of spending so much time debating what a character should do when you already know where the Dracula is, since you play him too in this playthrough, it would make more sense to let a dice decide what to do. Other than that, great video and the game looks interesting.

[rahdo]

waitaminute! are you saying I got something right for once??? OMG!!! :)

[quickstopfreak]

No, Mina does not get +1 from Dodge @ 1:09:55 as her previous Dodge was not successful. If you mean the final round of combat @1:12:30, I think Rahdo did add +1 to both rolls.

[rahdo]

well, it wouldn't be an ameritrash game without some sort of rules dispute! :)

we've only played the game a handful of times over the years and i can't remember a win loss ratio. the most recent time we played, jen won (as dracula) when she cornered nina and worked her over to advance the timer and win :)

[johnyramble]

So when a city in dracula's trail leaves the trail does the encounter on it mature or does the city become a catacomb with the encounter still on it? Or does Dracula choose either?

[dsr]

You can't dodge on the first round of combat! :) Thanks for the videos they were very entertaining.

[NicoGubler]

Hi Richard, thanks for this runtrough ;)
Mina should have roled to catch the train @16:06, isn't she?
Also as I understood so far does Van Helsing have to encounter the Minion @36:20 by going to cologne?
@1:09:55 you forgot Mina's Dodge +1 but as I can hardly see, but it doesn't matter because the initiative of Escape is higher and so the endresult is the same.
hope that helps.

[mbalazs]

25:44 What kind of Vampires are these least thy dons sparkle but still lame :D
(they missed out the if the result is 1 (night/day) or at only night its 6 the hunter dies and the vampire counts as matured)

[johnyramble]

One thing I don't get. If the vampire bride matures it says he advances his vampire track by 2. Isn't the vampire track the one that goes up to 6 (at which point he wins)? Because rhado said that the day/night circle advances by 2 which is completely different. So which one is it?

[scottsmartky]

Shouldn't Van Helsing have fought the minion when he went to Cologne at the 36 min mark?

[quickstopfreak]

@57:30 playing Relentless minion on a Assassin is little bit controversial, as there is no universal consent on whether an Assassin is a Minion or not (e.g. BGG forums
'Minion combart ending without kill' or 'Assassins considered minions').
However, great runthrough on such a complex game while managing five players! I'd like to know, what's the general score between you and Jen on this game? Who wins more often?

[manuelkong]

I could see this game system being adapted for Jack the Ripper with the map being London
