Fallout: The Board Game | Rules Overview

WAR! War never changes my friends! In this episode we'll cover the Rules Overview for Fallout: The Board Game by Fantasy Flight Games! Join me as we bridge the gap between the Solo Setup video and the upcoming playthrough to prepare ourselves to head into the Wastelands!

A BIG thank-you to the community here at Rolling Solo for all your feedback on the prior video to determine which character from the the five available choices to use during the playthrough! I'm excited for this 'rad' choice!

"Fallout is a post-nuclear adventure board game for one to four players. Based on the hit video game series by Bethesda Softworks, each Fallout scenario is inspired by a familiar story from the franchise. Survivors begin the game on the edge of an unexplored landscape, uncertain of what awaits them in this unfamiliar world. With just one objective to guide them from the very beginning, each player must explore the hidden map, fight ferocious enemies, and build the skills of their survivor as they attempt to complete challenging quests and balance feuding factions within the game.

As they advance their survivors' stories, players come across new quests and individual targets, leading them to gain influence. Who comes out ahead depends on how keenly and aggressively each player ventures through the game; however, if a single faction is pushed to power too quickly, the wasteland will be taken for their own, and the survivors conquered along with it." - FFG

Wife and I just bought this game. Your explanation is waaay better than the instructions. Great work. We're excited to play tomorrow.

[philbateman]

It's a really fun game, but it took us ages to figure out as the rulebook is really vague in a lot of areas. Had to watch your video before it really made sense to us, so thanks for that :D

[TioGrassiente]

You do a great job explaining games. There's no boring aspect to your narrative and inflection / tone... Great job!

[MaggotKing]

Actually the opposite of the vilified token is Idolized not well rested

[major_lazer]

Thank you so much, at the beginning of this game felt so confusing. But now it feels more fun

[kaijuh]

Thanks! I ended up buying this game thanks to this video.

[chrisr]

Thank you so much for making this, there were so many things I was confused on and I watched other videos but they didn't explain the aspects as well as you did.

[RundliiGaming]

Thanks for the rules explanation :) so far this was one the better ones I checked so far.

2:23 If i remember that symbol stands for good karma (when you do something good) the other side stands for bad karma (when you do something bad)

[AeronwyD]

Awesome teacher, thank you! I tried playing this on Tabletop Simulator over the weekend by just skimming through the rulebook and apparently messed up a bunch of rules. No wonder I won it handily!

[sithlordmaster]

Bought the game 6 years ago and I’m finally starting to play. Thanks!!

[RealBlackEssence]

Ugh*....I bought this game and was so excited to play it by myself, but just too much to remember in order to play it. So, I won't be. It was actually verily difficult for me to follow you as you explained the battle line sequences with the VATS die and having to know if it's me taking damage first or if I'm giving the damage first. Then, figuring out how to move my pegs accordingly on my "pipboy". It's just too much.

After painting the miniatures i took this game over to my friends in North Carolina and we had a blast. A few problems such as how the Vats dice worked and the faction tokens worked other than that the game was fun

[sextonj]

Perfect timing because I am getting this game in the mail today. :)

[OneStopCoopShop]

Whoot whoot! Can't wait to watch this Adam! I decided the game wasn't for me, but it will be fun watching you play it. Good luck out there. .. :)

[MrBounceoutboi]

The moving part was what I was most confused about, you explained it where no one else I've seen so far has, I thought do I move to a new tile after a few turns or do I move one turn per turn etc, thanks for explaining it

[frayfray]

Thanks for making this awesome videos! I'm ready to play with my brothers ( FALLOUT fans )

[Silverlion_]

I found out this game so late great video. Im trying to buy the core game at least

[mightymouse]

Use this video for the "Essentially" drinking game. Every time he says the word, take a drink.

[GamesOffTheShelf]

I'm very excited to follow along as you play! This game is very high on my play list and can't wait to get in a solo game. Good luck on your adventure.
