Arkham Horror: The Card Game Tutorial

Arkham Horror: The Card Game is a cooperative Living Card Game ® set amid a backdrop of Lovecraftian horror. As the Ancient Ones seek entry to our world, one to two investigators (or up to four with two Core Sets) work to unravel arcane mysteries and conspiracies.

Their efforts determine not only the course of your game, but carry forward throughout whole campaigns, challenging them to overcome their personal demons even as Arkham Horror: The Card Game blurs the distinction between the card game and roleplaying experiences.

If every board game came included with a tutorial of this calibre our lives would be easier.

[Wickerless]

Jesus, the amount of quality work put into this video is stunning.

[ayyo]

Me: Watching this video to learn how to play

Also me: Taking one horror every topic change

[Lattentreffer]

This fantastic tutorial looks like the perfect blue print for a top notch digital version of the game. 10/10. Would buy!

And while we're at, sign the same narrator for the final game.

09:25 That's actually not correct: Only the total of clues is relevant (in this case 4), but they don't have to be 2 per investigator, they can also come from one single investigator... Or 1 and 3...

[Dezfafara]

A little heart attack everytime he explain a new topic

[my__account]

If every game tutorial was narrated by kevan brighting, I’d have watched a lot more of these videos

[alliestrauss]

If I knew about this video before I played my first game, I would have saved a few friendships...

[Omicron]

Well, played my first game today, solo so I could get a handle on the rules. Forgot all about Roland's character card actions, didn't use asset cards properly, kept generating ghoul encounters, and got eaten when the agenda completely advanced past stage 3.

Still, it was a learning experience. Everybody always botches the hell out of their first go at a new tabletop game. Thanks to this tutorial I've got a much better handle on the rules than I did before.

[Charsiupao]

You know it's a great tutorial when you go "No, the story hasn't finished... what happened to them?!!" as the tutorial goes to the next stage and ends having done its

[MrGgabber]

I know how to play most of these FFG games, but I come back to rewatch these tutorial videos anyway because they are so amazing

[rjkral]

Just got the game and came here. I’m simultaneously intrigued and overwhelmed!!! This video is very well done, but it’s gonna take several viewings to get close to the hang of this!

[rolfvanderbijl]

This is an amazingly clear tutorial of a game which can seem quite daunting. I've watched this video before I started playing, and just now after not having played for a while, I highly recommend watching this video for anyone wanting to get into Arkham Horror.
Nothing is perfect, 1 rule I was still missing, which I think was outside of the scope of this video, which is that you can assist another detective in combat for the cost of 1 resource token. There's some more rules to it though.
This video still is a 5 Star video for me, a shame that I can only leave a thumbs up, it doesn't justify the quality and effort put into this video!

[charlierobson]

Every board game should have a video like this. I just love it so much! Amazing job

[furretthefuzzynoodle]

The guys voice is just perfect I love when he says tokens or card

[phoenixhazard]

Wish you would do narration for the campaigns. High quality video, right music, and incredible and thematic voice acting.

[jaakkosippola]

Also the Prey on the ravenous ghoul was interpreted incorrectly. Pray happens only if there is a choice for the monster, but if you draw a monster from encounter deck it automatically engages with you.

quote: "W hen an enemy card is drawn by an investigator, that investigator must spawn it following any spawn direction the card bears. If the encountered enemy has no spawn direction, the enemy spawns engaged with the investigator encountering the card and is placed in that investigator’s threat area."

[Maftiosi]

Perfect voice for such kind of videos! Even though i had to watch the star wars lcg-tutorial 20 times in order to understand everything... ;)

[francklinflory]

That's how every gameboard tutorial should be !! Giving the mechanics with the lore of the game.

C'est ce qu'on attend de toutes les vidéos de tutoriel pour tous les jeux de plateaux. Donner les mécanique du jeu dans le thème de celui-ci.

[staticklingon]

I read through the book, got started and tried playing through the first scenario. I love these games because they're so complex, but man it takes a few games to get it right. This video is amazing and helped so much. Wish every company could do this for their games!

I swear I was about 10 games into Pathfinder ACG before it started to click.
