Mice and Mystics: Downwood Tales | Chapter 1 Playthrough | With Colin

I played with a bunch of house rules, and certainly made some mistakes, but I REALLY enjoyed this one! The story, the minis and the light gameplay allowed me to really enjoy the experience! I hope you enjoy it and I will see you in Chapter 2!!

The Redwall series was probably the reason why I was drawn into this game.

Woa, yes, Mice and Mystics, still one of my favourite games - brought me into the world of minis painting

Haven't played this in ages but I'm loving, and very much appreciating, this 'Cult of the Old' journey you're on. 👍👍👍

I hope you do continue with the campaign, Colin! When my daughter first got into gaming, this was one of the big hits for her and we played it I do not know how many times, including all of the expansions.

Thanks Colin for the playthrough - high entertainment value! Just checking, but if I remember correctly, Jakobe only get to roll for a second attack (return of the boomerang) if the first missed. Not that it really mattered in this one. Keep 'em coming!

yalday! great vid mate. i've had this game for 3 years, not got to this yet. played all the base game and i'm halfway through Glorm...one day, one day 😅

1:00:57 You did the same thing I did for a long time; move the Hourglass. However, if you read the instructions, they tell you to move the *Chapter End Marker* which is currently at Page 6 (if memory serves). Thus, getting this gives you more time to complete the chapter. That being said, I think I've only once lost due to running out of time ( _everything_ went against us), so it's not that big of a deal. Still.

[mattnutter]

That was amazing!!!! Is there a chapter 2???❤

[danpatterson]

Thanks for filming this and great job on the audio, editing, and overall explanation of the game. I'm definately interested in seeing more. One question though, why limit Nez to only 1 additonal movement? I get the idea is to limit the amount of dice rolling, but rolling a "1" for Nez is the worst possible roll, and the houserule is limiting Nez to that worst possible movement every turn. Since the average roll would be "2" (like the enemies) why not just apply that same rule to the hero mice that way Nez has more opportunities to contribute.

Would love to see this campaign continue.

I watch the full campaign! That was legit fun. Its like a show

[nomadcaravantales]

Love it, now playing Aftermath too and mixing the games together makes for excellent RPGs

[brenthooley]

Just picked up the game, quick question if we wanna cut down the leaf or just climb down the tree does all enemy minions needs be killed and if we just go down or up the tree we just use a new encounter card correct?

[stephschweter]

Just started watching...do the people you bought the game from paint minis for hire? Those minis look fantastic!!!

[chrisdeutsch]

Thanks for playing Downwood Tales! Was such a fun story. Shame no more support for the product or downloadable bonus maps using the new tiles were released.

[justinhubbard]

Would love to see the campaign continue as well.

[Ra.za.g]

Can you start the base game with this expansion included such as playing with Jakob

[Syrilian]

The minis look really good but I don't know about a game you have to so heavily house rule.
