Again, a very clear video on how to play a (this) game. Every time I buy a new game, I first watch your gameplay video. After that I start reading the rulebook. In this case your video actually convinced me to buy the game. Keep up the good work Rodney, many thanks!

[erichenderson]

Rod is hands down the Boss. Every time I get a new game, instead of trying to explain the rules to my game group, we just watch Rod's video. Perfection. Nobody does it better

[PrinceGastronome]

The additional humor is welcome and appreciated.

Great video! However, I spotted an error at 0:25. You said that no one wants to hear your pirate voice for the entire video. You are mistaken.

[narsil]

did he just blind pull exactly 6 of each event deck?...Rodney's powers continue to grow...

[WatchItPlayed]

NOTE: I had to pull down the original upload, due to an edit error, so if you watched previously and don't mind playing it again, it would really help the health of the video, as Youtube examines views, comments, and interactions. Not looking for or encouraging fake views - only mean if you watched previously. This is just due to having to re-upload, as Youtube doesn't provide a way to retain the same links when correcting a mistake.

RULES TIP! One item that can be a little tricky to remember, is in what situations different crew can participate. Here's some guiding principles!
1) The only time players cannot use their crew abilities to help another player/crew member is when they directly affect weapons stats in an attack: BLOCK, +1 DAMAGE, or +1 ACCURACY. Otherwise, you can always use adventure cards or your abilities to help another player/crew member.
2) Equipped ability cards generally only affect the crew that has them equipped (unless the card says otherwise).

How strong is Rodney to just be able to toss around that heavy game box one handed. Amazing grip strength 🤯 😁

[Arvias]

We literally stopped reading rulebooks and just watch your videos right before we play <3 Thank you for this!

[sewaprolo]

Sometimes, I just watch these videos solely for the box-flipping skills. Mesmerizing!

[ChooseConnect]

Minute 2 I was READY, but by minute 4 I was scared by how big this game became 😳

[benleague]

This is a FANTASTIC guide! I had done D&D for years, but my wife had never played a game like this. She watched this video several times and she was the one who wanted to buy this game! You got my wife into RPG's!!!! Thank you, Rodney, thank You

[commandershepard]

I often watch your videos at least twice: Once to help me decide IF I want the game. Then a second time, after it comes in, as a precursor to reading the rulebook. Thank you!

[nighthunterzz]

I was so confused after having watched the video it was gone! Can’t wait to watch it again with my wife and girls! Thank you!

[mirandav]

Above and Below and Near and Far are my two favourite games so I’m 100% positive I’ll love this game as well!

[maximem.ste-marie]

Normal or Brutal difficulties : that escalated quickly!

[teejleague]

We cannot say enough good about this game! This video helped us TREMENDOUSLY and for a long time we kept going back to certain chapters in the video for help. You did an amazing job. I am so happy the company asked you to review this one. It made it so much simpler to learn!!!

[dylanmaltby]

Just played the quick-start scenario last night and we struggled with a few of the rules. I'm so excited to see you have a video up this morning that we can review before our next session!

[NoPunIncluded]

I really like the subtle focus crossfade at 2:15.

[teejleague]

Thank you for introducing us to my first RPG-like gaming experience! We finished the campaign and absolutely loved it. I can see us playing through over & over in years to come to explore more lands! :)
