I love the line "I csn see that's a dwarf, I'm not that daft." Lol.

Ricky. When I first started watching your Mage Knight videos, I was thinking "What kinds of drugs is this guy on, I can't watch this." Now however, after all the help you gave me with Mage Knight, and watching your series in it's entirety, I have come to realise your videos are a treasure. Truly you are dedicated. Fantastic editing. Fantastic tutorials. Glorious in every way. Thankyou for your dedication!

You have a masterful use of pauses in your presentation style. This is key if an audience is to retain what they're learning. Well done!

this video came out when i was 11. now I'm old enough to enjoy it game the game with my father. Thanks for the vid

[RommelDAK]

Thanks very much for this. I am a seasoned wargamer but was still having trouble with these rules. Watched this entire series some years back and now my daughter and I have played this over and over. I'm always the good guys and she's always the Fellowship.

I watched all your videos of War of the Ring! Congratulation!!!!

[CitizenRare]

By far the best tutorial of this game. Just bought it for my girlfriend and I, and we were very stuck and watching others explain so many concepts all at once was overwhelming. This example game helped us understand the game so much easier, and now we play almost every week! Thank you!!

It's really a must-have addition as it adds a lot (elusive monsters, and ones you can't use abilities/spells against) plus a bunch more AA and spell cards. Not only that, but you get one more hero specific card so 1/8th of your deck is unique. The best thing is that you get to eliminate dummy with the addition of Voltare's 2 new scenarios. Since he has loads of blanks (wounds) and draws one card/turn, you get to do a lot more per round now. Plus, one new move-focused hero and co-op abilities

Thanks for making these! I am learned this BIG game through your videos. Been looking all around for a good way to understand the rules but the best way is just to watch someone play it calmly. Hats off.

I was literally just looking last night for a good WoTR series after watching your Mage Knight series. This is awesome!

[ericschlautman]

Thank you for putting these videos together. Played this game last week after watching them. They were very helpful. Great game.

[jerzykolodziej]

just recently got this (after many months of "will I / won't I"!) & found this series of videos incredibly helpful to get started. I'm typically quite thorough so I was always going to read through the rules, but I got the distinct feeling the read through would have been far more difficult had I not watched this series first. Thanks!

[Hybban]

Two awesome series in parallel. This is a great way to start the year!

[toddkelly]

How about another play through using the expansion. Great videos I bought the game right after watching episode 2! Thanks

[johnmichael]

this is exactly the type of play I was looking for

[medicsworkshop]

Awesome! Just bought this game at Comic Con Baltics, thanks a lot man! Appreciate it.

[danielmarco]

Thank you so much for making this video!! I just ordered the game online and I'm learning from you as we wait for it to arrive. Your way of explaining the game and editing this video is awesome and easy to follow. Nice work!

[davwalp]

Thanks so much for your hard work on this series (particularly the editing/camera work). I found it incredibly helpful overall. Also took both of your suggestions re: coloring the base of the minis and getting separate red/blue combat dice. I am running with opponents on Saturday!

[chrisrud]

Just found this game, and your tutorial series.  After watching the first segment, I'm really looking forward to more.  This game looks enthralling, and your videos will give me welcome kickstart to the mechanics and gameplay....cheers!
