I absolutely love this game. I played the core campaign earlier this year. At one point in the game, I won a scenario by selling Witch Weed I had looted and giving it to a settlement in the Badlands to help them resist the Goblins. First time I've ever employed a "Robin Hood if he was a Drug Dealer" strategy in a board game. :D
It was on my table again for 3 weeks last month. The campaign in the Wetlands guide book is great and the mini-campaign in the Badlands guide (Arena + Wizard scenarios) is a great fight and explore intro for new players. In the mini-campaign, my heroes became legendary gladiators and then helped a wizard find and pilot a (kind of) UFO into the Eastern lands, where reportedly the next expansion will take place.

Currently trying to learn this game, this video is a GODSEND. As a DM I thank you greatly.

lol. The pigskin (football) background at the beginning of your Playthrough banner @5:53 is hilarious. I guess nobody else got the joke! Good job though 😂

I was asking to myself : "On the run" mission in 30 minutes ? I want to see that. Great Force March Tests, 2 combats without any problem. We all want a "On the run" mission mood like yours.

[mathiasvanbutsele]

What is important to figure, when you are new to or get to introduce people to this game, is that, regarding the very first mission, "On The Run", if you chose to follow this path and to pick up the Soothsayer's Head, the Clue counters 1, 2 & 3 correspond, each, to a Town Level location that is outside the Lowlands. Not only they are so, but also the only Settlements with a Town Level at the start of the game, outside the Lowlands. Not always easy to explain why you should go either Pigskin Port, Gutfish Ford or Stone Circle. One simple answer to that is they all represent an escape from Brüttleburg, from the Law, from the Lowlands. As if it were common knowledge to everyone living in the Würstreich that these 3 Towns are the ones to go to if you want to stay away from the Law. Also note that Gutfish Ford & Stone Circle both belong to the Wetlands (GREEN).

Thanks for the detailed playthrough. It gave me a good insight into the game. Time to hit up the kickstarter.

Just picked this up, with all expansions. Loving it! Already in my Top 10 campaign games, and climbing fast

I've seen this chatted about quite a bit but never looked into it. Thanks for the playthrough! Very unique art and I dig the Darkest Dungeon vibe of it.

[tonybowers]

Thanks for sharing. Didn't know about the game until seeing your play through.

[markoreilly]

Great play through - helping me digest the rules!

[tomzebro]

Have this, but it's on my shelf of shame. Thanks for the playthrough.

[baalzaman]

Truly a blessed journey. Praise be to Lord Scrott.

[rolandbruno]

Just got the game and beginning this scenario. It's helpful to watch you go thru it. Thank you. Should you have drawn two encounter cards at the Watchtower?

This seems really neat, especially to scratch that dungeon crawly D&D itch when you don't have a group, but I have to say I'm not a fan of rewards being based on who gets the kill. It seems like it can easily lead to a positive feedback loop where one character gets a few early kills and thus gets the cash and XP, which lets them improve so they are more effective and get more kills in the future which means more improvement, while leaving other characters lacking. This would be especially an issue if playing with friends since as a single person playing 2+ characters you can relegate less combat capable characters to other kinds of tasks, but when it's 3 people and each control 1 character it's not very fun to realize that you're the pack mule, for example. Not to mention this can lead to stuff that's just plain frustrating, like attacking an enemy and dealing 4 damage and then someone else deals just 1 damage but since that kills it, they get all the reward.

I'm sure this isn't a big deal to some people but I personally think it's not great.

First off, love this game! With the extra lore books you can buy online, it's an amazing adventure. But! You said you can use a power die regardless of if you pass the test?? I was always under the impression you had to pass the test to use the power dies result. Please tell me I'm wrong, that sounds so much easier lol

[seanmorgan]

would love to be able to get this game, the price is not too bad 80 dollars but 55 to ship to UK

[kipel]

Great video, dude!!! I'm really on the fence with the game. Looks amazing and Metal AF but I think I have others game that fills the void. I don't know... and some part of me feels that the gameplay will feel flat for me.

[stuartconnelly]

So is the hand of doom the first one? Love the minis that go with this game. Are you able to still buy this?

[catlover]

Witch hill was made more dangerous, not the witchwood. Are you going to continue the campain?

[jarcoreh]

Mike what are your opinion to get the Game for solitaire play with 2 characters?
