  1. You know at first I was going to say, da heck dude? You are at least ten years late and then I was like oooooh its a board game o.o! Didn't know there was a board game. 1:30 remarkably close to hearthstone cards. So glad to see a channel dedicated to great cause.

  2. Only thing im unsure of is when im on a quest space if ive taken too much damage am i able to move off of the space other than to the stronghold while my cards just stay banked at that quest and the quest marker is uneffected?

  3. Hi question about the rules, do you must take 4 actions in the particular order, or can you for examole move than fiight than move again than fight again and not rest at all, making those 4 actions?

    Reply
  4. Just picked this up on sale at target and does anyone know if the flight ability to a stronghold uses an action? Couldn't find that clarification in the rule manual.

  5. Very well done video and very well explained play. I am considering buying this game. Your explanation was very helpful.

    Do you give recommendations on games? Do you have any particular pandemics style favorites?

  6. I'm playing solo but part of this question applies to both. 1 if all your heroes are on the Lich King's quest, can they all contribute a card as well, if you have them? 2. Also, I'm assuming you can't use the same card to contribute it more than once in solo? For example: 3 heroes on quest space, you contribute one fight card from 1st hero to advance a space, if the next two spaces on quest are also Fight, can you contribute 2 more fight cards from the other heroes and advance the torch ? Assuming u have 2 other fight cards on Hand. Unless u can count the same one twice 😵‍💫

  7. I worked for Blizzard Entertainment from 2008 – 2013 and Wrath of the Lich King was a huge expansion for World of Warcraft and working their during that time was wonderful. My brother just sent me this game as a belated birthday present. Hopefully this video will help me keep my sanity until the game is delivered later this week. Thanks Rodney!

  8. Two questions:
    1- tá The final quest, we can make 4 actions of quest?

    2- when an abomination is in The Space of a hero, during the "activating abomination" , the hero takes The damage in every turn due they're destroyed?

    Reply
  9. Hello there! I'd have 2 questions regarding the gameplay, so #1: If an abomination catches up to me and deals 1 dmg to me, if the LK is also in that region, do I receive 2 dmg or just 1? And #2: If I'm questing on a quest space and a ghoul/abomination is also on that space, do I take dmg from them as well or just the dmg of the quest boss + LK, if he's around?

  10. My family and I just played through this for the first time today this Thanksgiving afternoon.

    We got about 90% of the rules correct, however we got it wrong how the symbols on the quest cards work.

    In the example used in the book we got confused and thought the fight symbol on cards was how you advance through the quest after using the dice (which meant we was not paying attention to each symbol, fight, shield, heal, etc on the quest board as to how to properly advance the token).

    After the game, I then went to YouTube to see a play through. Your channel came up first.

    You did an excellent job telling us how to play the game and showing us where we went wrong in the game. I’m even more excited to play again.

    Playing through once on our own helped us to figure out the turn order and the basics in how the game works.

    Now that we have all the rules sorted out, it will be even better next time around.

    Thank you so much. You earned that like and subscribe.

    I can’t wait to check out the rest of your videos.

    Happy Thanksgiving!

  11. I bought this game for my 19 year old son who has autism and LOVES W.O.W. ( multiplayer online). Which, to me, is kind of funny because I was very obsessed with WoW from the year 2004 to 2008 (back when the highest player level was 80 and the expansion was wrath of the Lich king Ironically,) . When my son was about five years old, I had to stop playing because of his disability. I had to focus 100% on him. There was no room for anything else in my life whatsoever. So, WoW has always been part of our lives. Sorry, It seems I’m rambling. The point was I bought this board game for him for Christmas this year (2022) and I was very concerned that I was going to have a very hard time learning the game, as I have to do before I can explain it to him in a way that he will understand. I was pretty concerned when I googled how to play this game, I was really worried with the results would pop up with. Sometimes some people make things so much more difficult than they need to when trying to explain an already involved and detailed game. There’s no need for people to show off their knowledge of the game or bring up their own experiences or their own characters or what have you. It just distracts from what the video should be about which is simply explaining the board game, and how to set it up and play it. Some people’s tutorials can become so complicated that their overzealous explanations are too overwhelming and I’ll simply never learn it, therefore will never be able to teach it, and intern will never play it. It would be put into the back of the closet and sit there, forgotten about, until it gets gifted to somebody else. I am lucky that I clicked onto your video first before any other. After watching it, I can honestly say with this video it’s going to be easy for me to not only learn and memorize the initial game set up, each group of cards and their function, how to utilize, where to place, how to move and kill all ghouls and abominations , when, how and who takes damage, and why, how the game flows from action to action and turn to turn, with the goal is, how to lose, and how to win the game. I’m sure that I’ll have to watch your video a few times but you’ve made it very simple and straightforward. I am extremely grateful because it’s already a complicated game but trying to explain it to an autistic person, like my son, is literally speaking another language so I have to learn your language of the game, and then translate it to him in his language. I’ll have to learn the game to different ways in order to teach my son. I’m not sure if that makes sense to you, but I am very grateful to you for this video. This is the very first time I’ve ever liked and subscribed on any video on YouTube or any where before. And I’ve definitely never commented on somebody’s video before, but I felt it was important that you knew how much this video is still helping people. So, thank you and please keep making videos reviewing games and/or whatever you’re into because you’re very good at it. Because of you, this board game will actually come to life in our home and not collect dust. I’m sure if my son could also thank you for this video, he would. I for one am extremely grateful so thank you very much again!

  12. Thanks for this indepth explanation. Really helped in getting it going. There were a few question markers for me when reading the rules (Most Likely due to English not beeing my Mother Tongue. This video cleared all to set us up properly~.

  13. I need to ask this because i am an idiot apparently :D… Why do you need to make 6 different piles if you are gonna make one deck out them anyway? is it just for shuffle or something?
