The best single player board game I have ever come across! Can’t wait for the Elden ring board game

[gingerbenw]

My knight had a pretty wobbly sword, too. If you run it under hot water it will go soft, then you can reshape it and run it under cold water to firm it back up!

We just started playing this game with my friends, without your video, we wouldn't have been able to even get started! Thanks very much for your help!

[danslinn]

Clear, concise, well made video. An absolute boon for a complete board game novice like me. I feel lucky to have found your channel. Many thanks.

[Daniel-fijp]

My god this tutorial is information dense while still fully digestible. Super effective use of graphics and visual displays alongside a super tight script.

[qc-sunbro]

Finally a good tutorial video! Good editing, simple explication, straight to the point.

Good job!

[MudkipKing]

when the mini boss died and you said reset the board my heart dropped because i forgot that mini boss meant there was a main boss

[TheFancyFilmmaker]

THANK YOU SO MUCH! I honestly hate the rule book for this game it’s written way to complicated than it needed to be!

[kevincandelario]

I've played all the souls borne games, and this sounds amazing, and surprisingly exactly like the game. Thats so wild and impressive. I wanna get this so bad

I just got one board game and I love it ! About the dodge rule I may be wrong but there is something you forgot to mention : when the player dodge he may choose to move to an adjacent node whenever he succeed the roll dice OR missed it. It is not mendatory to move out from your node once you succed your dodge, which is a plus when you have the assassin in order to backstab with 0 range weapon when being on the same node at the dodged ennemy. Tell me what you think about it. High quality video I appreciated it !

[sirborkton]

Just gonna refer to all your guides when I can't remember or don't understand something cause these are concise, but still extremely informative. Considering I just started collecting these expansions I'm gonna be using these a lot I feel like lol

[Havc-Zr]

Just picked up this game to play with my friends and this video was a great help to fully understand the game, thank you

[KilgoreTrout]

Been playing this for years and you still managed to clarify some mistakes that we make over here. Thanks!

[MetAlexTHVK]

This video (and all the related videos to go with it) have been an absolute boon. I have been referring back to this one for clarification on most rules and while preparing to play it for the first time with friends.
With the Monster Hunter World Board Game now shipping, and with every different weapon playing with a relatively different deck and set of rules, I hope you will do a series on that as well!

EDIT: LMAO nevermind, I see you have already, which I would have noticed if I had subscribed from the beggining, so Im gonna do that now.

[MatusFinchus]

Superb, clean, clear tutorial. Thank you for this. Me and my boy and played a few times, but always struggled with rules when it came to the mini boss / boss section. We kept finding them too easy! We were not using the arcs correctly.

[Balteus_]

Subbed immediately! I have misophonia which means its difficult for me to find tutorials videos with voices i can tolerate. But your voice isn’t annoying in the slightest and you give a simple clear instruction! Thx so much for the video!

[oscarlaborda]

I had some doubts with this game reading the instructions. Thanks to your video is all clear! Great explanation of everything!

[BigBossReaper]

Thank you! I now know how to play darksouls the board game! Much easier then reading the entire book

[brezilianpope]

My brother just got me this for my birthday and I am HYPED

[donovangould]
