2022, Belgium, I've just bought the first Drizzt's book... and then the boardgame the same week. Nice video, thanks to share this enjoyable family moment

Rhymes with blitzed. Drizzt. I've read all the novels, they are amazing! Some of the BEST fantasy stories/novels of all time.

You draw an encounter only if the arrow is black

I would LOVE to see a 4th box with Dark Sun setting.

The water elemental is the Medium Water Elemental (number 36) from Dragon Eye set of D&D Miniatures Game. That was set #2 released in 2003, eight years before this video was uploaded. D&D minis weren't reused in Heroscape until a much later stage (when Heroscape was starting to die off). Essentially all of the minis in the three D&D board games (Ravenloft, Ashardalon, Drizzt) are unpainted versions of the minis from the D&D Miniatures game.

I've worked with customizing D&D minis and the thing to deal with bending is to dip them in hot water, then straighten them, then dunk in ice cold water. Hope that helps =)

Very fun video and very insightfull, I just got this for christmas and was a little overwhelmt but you helped alot thx!

[IdlePeasant]

You're a good dad, Tom. Keep up the entertaining reviews!

[Whisper]

how did u mix the games?
did you just throw everything together?
does that effect anything besides the theme?

[cfcalle]

you can mix almost everything; you can mix heroes, villains, monsters, adventures, and even tiles and make one heck of a game. However, there are some encounter cards, and treasure cards specifically for certain situations or heroes, so in that case u draw another card and ignore the previous one. ( if you read the booklet it would be much better but that's pretty much the idea)

Kudos to you for getting your kids involved. I'm taking the opposite approach and trying to get my father into my hobby.

Someone described it more as a Dungeon Race to the last tile then a dungeon Crawl lol and yeah the water elemental was used in the D&D minis game only it wasn't translucent it was painted blue. the CR Skelton is also the same. and this system is interesting in that it's fun to lose like some video games til you win.

@yabyab Actually it's "Drist" with the s sounding slightly like a z at the end!

Starting at 10:35 the battle really begins. This girl is destined for geek greatness!

[michaelbauers]

It's spelled Drizzt, but it's pronounced Throat wobbler mangrove

[isaiahfurrow]

These D&D games have definitely made the list, just need to decide which one first, along with Dungeon! ....  any advice on which order to pick up these 3 games?  Thanks again for the video, hope you had a good Turkey Day....

"I said to him that he would not pass and he didn't". LOL

[millbranch]

I feel you! I've spent years pronouncing "drow" to rhyme with "know, " not "now." Since I now know better, I'm trying to self-correct. Oh well. Maybe the Matron Mothers won't come after me for disrespect.

@SPBTooL Get Wrath of Ashardalon unless you really want the Ravenloft (undead) or Drizzt (Underworld) theme. Wrath is more generic than Drizzt with the big baddy being a Dragon under the mountain and it has more variety and a few other things are fixed and/or improved from Ravenloft. If you buy a second get Ravenloft as the two really compliment each other well in terms of components and options. The are all great though so pick the theme you like best and go with that one.

I have an unopened Wrath of Ashardalon that I need to introduce to my group, they would love this series.
