After me and my companions 1h of headache inducing reading of the rule books, this video saved our evening, and now we finally get how to play.
Thank you kind sir, you are the hero we needed!

[OrmyGaming]

Awesome! Just when I was in need for more Hero Realms videos, this pops up! Guess I need to buy that base game now and then expand to more.

[stevepruneau]

Way too cool.. been waiting a very long time since I bought the original and all the character packs for this one.. and I hope they produce more at a good pace. I play Hero Realms more often than Star Realms now. This looks a bit confusing at first, but I will study and practice when it comes out. Thanks for another great video Rodney. A playthrough of this would be AWESOME!!

[TheAvatan]

Again one of the best how to plays around - thanks!

[wetwillyccma]

Thanks for doing this Rodney, you are the best! This will be perfect for my game group. I suck at explaining games. You are the King of How to play video's for any board game. :)

[clarissathompson]

Thank you for this! We couldn't find something in the rule book but your video helped us answer our question very quickly! (:

[freemanedwards]

Awesome vid
keep up the amazing work
I love the intros

[ChrisMaxPower]

Thanks for clarifying this and explaining it so clearly!
I specifically was in doubt of whether to return the market cards to the market deck and which character cards would replace others if any...
Just finished my first encounter playing with my friend and we can't wait to play again!

[surugaya-of]

Can't wait to play it, one of my favourite board game!

[Relatista]

Can you please stop making me buying more hero realms stuff? xD nice video

[renetv]

Thanks for the video! I have a question: in the first turn, do players start with 3 or with 5 cards in their hand?

[Alluvian]

Just picked up hero realms and the character packs. Looking forward to getting the campaign as well if my playgroup likes it. So many 'except' or 'unless' keywords in this video that I am a little concerned it will be annoying to teach. Looks fun though!

[Paternova]

Take a shot for every time this dude says Master

[Darnin]

Great video as always! Quick question: if playing with two players, are they considered nearby each other or is the master "between" them?

[mimoucheification]

Thanks for the video. I do have a question about the turns. Is it first the Monster, then player 1, then player 2 then the Monster. But in that case the active player will Always be the same. Or, is it Monster then player 1 then monster then player 2 ? Thanks

[diceingaround]

Do you have to own extra character decks to play the expansion or does the expansion come with him?

[joburg]

Hello. Which dice do you use for health tracking?

[marlonm]

Hi
When you have a imp minion in front of me and I have a red symbol in play it says stun the imp. Does that mean tap the card or discard back to the Master's deck? Stun in the Ruins of Thandar confuses me a little but it is a great expansion!

[tombombadil]

If the master plays 2 cards with the same color, does the master's ability get used 2x?

[Goblinerd]

Is this expansion already released or something coming down the line?!? I. Must. Have. It!
