welcome to rob's gaming table i'm rob i'm mel and we're going to be playing uh one of those lcg games that the kids all play those fantasy flight games you know living card games the never ending collection of paper that somehow drains your bank account especially when you show up to the game late uh this is the one with uh we're playing the one with legolas and and gandalf and gimli and stuff right that's this one no not that one uh oh oh we're playing the lcg with the the captain america spider-man and iron man right that one not that one either then what the heck one are we playing the cthulhu one oh that's right i don't know i i get them all confused all the time they're super similar i'm just kidding anyways hello everybody hello hello wow oh here's the jot on us for our bad comedy get out get out yes we're playing arkham horror the card game let me tell you something this is the only living card game product only fantasy flight card game i think i think since i got into the hobby like nine plus years ago uh i got into into gaming through fantasy flight games finding game of thrones board games technician very quickly after got into game of thrones the living card game first edition uh and then once i got hooked by that i said i need to find more and then found lord of the rings the living card game got obsessed with that started buying everything going crazy and then you guys know netrunner and warhammer and l5vr and uh yeah whatever else keyforge there's so many i know keyboards not an lcg but another card game product everything that comes out of that department at ffg i buy except this game this game when it came out and was released i had not really played any arkham horror themed stuff i felt it was just them double dipping on the exact same system that i already had hundreds if not thousands of dollars of cards for with lord of the rings i felt and we already have a co-op lcg this already i can't i don't feel like i spent enough time in it already it's it's constant product releases constant like podcasts meta reading deck building it's like a hobby within a hobby these are lifestyle games having the room for multiple lifestyle games full-time job and all this stuff's tough having the room for two lcgs was my limit so lord of the rings game of thrones at the time when game of thrones rebooted the second edition jumped to warhammer tried some l5r when i got out of playing co-op once got back into marvel champions when it came out and i thought yeah this is the one i'm going to avoid but since i think since this game came out this has been the number one requested game for me to play on the channel in the last five years since this game has been out yeah this is the most requested one i got facebook messages i i got uh direct messages on twitter i get uh comments on videos random game videos going yeah rob that's great you play this game where the hell is the arkham horror the card game and it's like what the heck man and i honestly think the thumbs down bandit might be related to wanting me to play this game and maybe we'll stop seeing those now because of it but anyways i've said no i try to hold off my bank account i've protected against this game for now five years five years but in the last year since covet hit everyone's in lockdown word is spread on this game being one of the best one or two player games out there that you can just get lost in time will fly and have some fun living in this lifestyle game our compared to the card game and i already knew it was a good game i was just trying to avoid it because i didn't want to lose you know thousand dollars trying to chase down packs in another game again um so yeah so i've held off until this last holiday season there was a sale at a friendly local game store they knocked like 15 or 20 bucks off core sets so we grabbed two because i'm not an idiot i've played enough lcg games and ffg products to know that core set 99 times out of 100 does not have enough stuff in it to feel like a full game and of course i found that was the case with this uh starter set so we bought two so we could build some okay decks you know some more consistent decks actually have two of of some of the cards in the deck like they couldn't slide in those extra you know a few cards in their player cards to give two of everything i don't know what they were doing but anyways uh yeah better than uh chris is saying better than buying three copies with lord of the rings chris because i was building for four players i might have like six lord of the rings core sets or eight i don't remember what i what i stopped at but yeah yeah yeah i'm a sucker like that so i was kind of happy that it's just mel and i playing for now until the lockdowns and stuff you know vaccines get out there show more's in the chat you feel free when uh yeah they're better man like killing me man killing me to have to just sit here and play with my wife all day i mean oh i mean scratch that scratch set or by myself no no just kidding uh but yeah so i we grabbed two core sets we built two core sets uh our used the course two corsets to build decks um but we gave in i thought you guys are are like always asking for this game on the channel all the time there's other games are asked for a lot lately too but this was just one literally someone probably once a month for the last like five years has gone rob you're playing all these living card games on your channel especially back when this came out why aren't you playing arkham where's the arkham so like it constantly was asked and i just avoided it i'm like it'll die down then they announced marvel champions i thought okay marvel champions is coming people will forget about this game but no i see why even when i explain marvel champions on the channel people will come in the chats on those and just go that's game's not as good play arkham like i'm like get out of here i'm playing marvel leave me alone like go go watch another channel you know um so we gave in we have it we have just two corsets okay just a little experiment i already know i will love the game i love lord of the rings i love marvel champions i love all ffg lcgs and card games i love key forge anything coming out of that department it's just i i love it all i i've loved every game i've played from them no no questions asked so i know i love it i know i like it i'll keep playing it and that kind of thing but with this game i don't plan on continuing past these core sets unless you guys are watching this liking it sharing it it there's a like a want for it on the channel if you guys are watching live we have a good turnout for you know these next three episodes today tomorrow and the next day three days in a row playlist link is down in the video description we're gonna play these games three days in a row we're gonna do the the core game campaign night of the zealot if you didn't already know by the thumbnail and the title you clicked on uh we're playing through the campaign from the core set all all three scenarios and we'll see how it does if you guys like it and you know there's the lcg crowd that want to continue watching us play it i'll try i know it's hard to find some of the packs and expansions right now i know that's the thing uh i've i've gotten into lcgs in the middle of them before and how to track down packs and drive to various cities and scour websites and hit f5 on web pages for for uh reprint stock to come in and email alerts and all that kind of stuff so i'll try to track stuff down but we'll see how it does so if you want to see more on the channel share this with your friends you know tell people we're playing it i know we're just playing the corset though and i know it's 2021. some of you guys might be like what the hell these losers are playing with only corset cards man i got like 57 expansions my decks are loaded with super efficient cards these guys are playing that beginning stuff lame yes we're late to the party but if you want to see more and want to see it grow we'll add to the collection we'll build some decks we'll play some other scenarios we'll get some standalone scenarios we'll get some deluxe expansions we'll do some you know we love playing campaign games on the channel you know we love playing all through stories and legacy games and that kind of stuff we will play through the deluxe boxes and the campaign or the mythos packs and all that and all that stuff and i'll try to track it down but you guys are driving this like it's based on how this does compare to other games and stuff on the channel so i'll we'll keep going but it's just kind of a test and kind of an experiment because i can withhold continuing to buy this game i i know what's involved in following an lcg for years years and years and i see where the future is it's like boxes and boxes of cards filling up shelves and a game that i'll eventually you know maybe get bored of and i want to play anymore um and we'll die down so like i don't need to go that route i've done that before many times but i do have fun with this game and it's all up to you guys so we'll see yeah and this is one of my favorite themes i also want to know i see the chat's going pretty quick there i'm trying to read some of it but man uh before you say that if you can remember shomar does say i will personally deliver my set to you if you continue to play so we might have to have you been collecting this tomorrow i figured you would have gotten into this game before but i didn't know you had it at all okay interesting we'll have to like i'll buy it yeah we'll have a discussion with you yeah i'll pay you that'll be easier than trying to track down every single pack yeah or if you just want to lend it to us too to play through we can do that too but like we'll discuss sorry uh no that's cool if you're if you're looking to dump it i i will buy it like yeah i will buy it you know that based on i'll pay a good price this time not just no it's not a dead game so but based on the don't have the most recent cycle no payment necessary no it's okay no we'll pay for it it's okay we will we will uh yes we'll talk yeah wow okay cool uh yeah it's okay if you're on the most recent cycle you're gonna say something about that's more easy uh i was gonna say i'm curious based on the people watching live right now and thank you for tuning in thank you everyone who's watching this later by the way who couldn't stay up i know time zones this isn't the best it's just this week mel has coverage in the evening for work so we're actually able to play in the evening and since these are kind of like shorter uh they'll be like shorter uh streams uh they work for the weeknights so that's why we're doing it this week that's why we didn't do it last week we deleted a week um so i apologize everyone is waking up tomorrow watching this video sorry we couldn't play it in the daytime or save it for a weekend we're going to try this three night thing with the streams and see how it works but thank you everyone for tuning in i want to know from the live chat how many people here right now have not played this game and don't own it don't don't know what it is kind of or like i've never played it like i'm sure some of you know like oh it's just like marvel champions or another another card game but is there anyone in the chat who's not played it give me a me let me know hands up hands up oh we got some means already starting okay okay janet's not playing neopets not played as i'm curious i assume this game's been around for six years it's a very hyped game it's very popular it's got a recent boost because of the coveted lockdowns and being inside playing co-ops and solos same boost marvel champions got there's actually a lot of play wow oh yeah i just want to see like are we talking to an audience that all know the game has been playing it for years and like let's not treat everyone like that you know they've never seen it and not go through how it works uh so i'll we'll play as as like we are new to the game yeah we're new to the game we're newbies obviously um but we know pretty much the rules i think there's some faq stuff obviously we won't know and some rulings and that kind of thing feel free to chime in in the chat if we're like totally playing a card completely wrong or something because we've only played with each other i haven't really you know obviously we haven't played with a gaming group to help correct us or haven't been like following the game for six years in forums and stuff to know uh what rulings and interactions and weird things exist in this game and i know there will be like i said we've followed many living card games and been deepened deep in the trenches so i know that stuff exists uh daniel yes we'll use the grim rule if there's a situation where we do not know how to resolve it we usually do that in all games we make it harder for ourselves yeah yeah we don't know absolutely but then i saw in the faq there's like the grim rule gets misunderstood a lot uh that any time there's like a choice always choose the worst one it's not that it's like if you can't quickly find something in the rules then just choose the worst thing and move on it's there the grim rule is there to meet to stop you from going through the rules and can't figure it out then going to bgg then calling your friend and you know messaging ffg sending emails over waiting weeks for answers they're just saying here's the grim rule if you're in that situation where you can't find in the rules nobody at the table knows and you're gonna house rule it just house rule it on the side of like the more difficult side that's what the grooming rule is uh quick thing yep i was just gonna say uh d miller in the in the chat has a question what difficulty are you playing on yeah i was gonna get to that perfect timing yep yep we'll get to the game in a minute i just we got some setup stuff to do here uh which involves you guys watching live also uh which difficulty you want us to play on we've been told in our discord and i've been messaged before that if we ever play this game and when we got the game a couple months back that we should play on easy there's no shame in that it recommends that in the rules i i've seen that recommended online when i was looking up how to plays and that kind of stuff a lot of people say no shame play on easy all it does is change some tokens in a bag or something uh but you guys can vote and you're not voting in the chat i i quickly whip together a straw poll which i just dropped in the chat go in the live chat now click the link and go on over to straw poll and you can quickly just click a button on easy or normal and we have played this on normal we've tried this on normal yep we've played through this campaign one time i don't really remember all that happened and we're not going to tell you what we saw in our choices and stuff we didn't read we didn't spoil ourselves other than the choices we made so we're playing through this for our second time um and so yeah so we're i'm assuming to see different things happen and that kind of thing but uh we're not gonna let you know what happened uh if we can remember like if we can avoid it let's not mention what we've seen spoil anything or you know drive play we'll try to play it as fresh as we can and there's some chat about coin capsules using coin capsules so i know there's upgrades and stuff but again shipping delays covet all that stuff i ordered the coin capsules that you guys were recommending before uh there was not really locally available in canada that i could find of the right size i wanted so i ordered them from china uh through amazon i think it was but from china they're coming so i hopefully will see them in like a month or less hopefully from now because i ordered them a few weeks back uh but they're not here so we're playing with cardboard i know that and no i'm not gonna buy any upgraded uh team covenant tokens or anything like that i'm okay with that i'll just play with the coin capsules and we have a bag which shame on you ffg shame on you ffg charging like 50 u.s 60 canadian or whatever it is depending on where you get your your core set uh the youth the amount of cards that are in this corset box again is another ffg rip job and also i noticed our core sets uh they've been reprinting this corset over and over again but all the errata stuff i don't think has been corrected in the rulebooks that we have and stuff so i was kind of blown away by that that i don't think they've been updating the printings uh to cards because even our player cards uh still don't have the zero level on it that's meant to mention in the rata but why is there not a bag included like these bags are so cheap why is there not a bag included in the corset from ffg they even sell bags like this or they used to uh which is probably why they don't include it in they want you to buy extra stuff yeah i don't think the corset was 50 bucks yeah was it we got them for like 40 canadian because they're on sale okay but i think a corset is like okay yeah because 50ish us msrp i could be wrong but i think that's msrp yes you can find it on sale and it's cheap uh corset let's find out fmg usually oh 45 us is the price yeah 45 u.s so you charge me 45 us for two stacks of cards whoops i just added to my card oh no i'm buying more no stuff oh cancel that their website's making me buy more product just by browsing it why did it do that we did get it on sale a little bit too right with the holiday deal yeah yeah yeah no no our core sets here and i think it's a supply and demand thing it's like yeah even at our cheaper retailers like on a sale they're like 40. so it's like they know they're gouging and there's no bag in there why is there no bag why is there no like 10 cent little bag like i can't believe it i was blown away by that use a mug or a bag or something you know it's like get out of here ffg he's a mug yeah like use an opaque container it's like so lame but anyway yeah people are mentioning that amazon has it on for 35 right now so if anyone is looking for is that u.s or canadian amazon remember americans there's there's other countries out there there's uk amazon there's there's canadian amazon they're like whole separate companies uh that all different products different suppliers and stuff u.s dan okay perfect 35 u.s so for our friends south of the border 35 u.s right now on amazon for a corset those are interesting interested and yes i'll cut to the chase the game's great there's the reason why it's all hyped like you guys know i like don't even have to do my usual routine of going to bgg but i'll humor you i'll humor you for the ones that don't know this game very well or have never heard of it really or anyone tuning in later who bumps into this game on the channel yeah this is ranked 22 overall on bgg out of all board game products that exist so like you know 90 or 100 000 boards board games card games all of that uh this is 22 overall number one in the customizable category yes number one thematic number 10 super thematic i guess but customizable this is like over like marvel champions like this is this like crazy blew up like look how fast that has shot up yeah that's crazy but we got netrunner i don't know why summoner wars in there i guess that was good is that writer still going uh no but that's how awesome that runner is like it still stays at number three and yeah there's like a fan community that we're making cards for it just like some of the other lcgs but yeah that game was so popular wow that that that spawn that like making more lcgs like that's when we're like man we gotta we're printing money over here cool but they lost that license because that is a that's a wizards of the coast uh who create magic on that one and that was like supposedly when they started the key forge thing with richard garfield that's when uh wizards of slash hasbro i think it's hasbro that owns them was like uh yeah you can't have our netrunner license anymore if you're gonna go after our you know magic uh audience with key forge get out of here okay supposedly that's that's all rumors and speculation but that's that's supposedly what i heard was going down uh because it was like really weird timing like it was basically they lost a license like right after they showed off key forget like an industry event and supposedly at that event it was like cut cut it like they cut cut it they don't we're not renewing it with them like they're they're messing with us yeah look at all these customizable games that it is higher than like this crazy yeah that's crazy like x-wings in there nut runners in there lord of the rings yeah but anyways i just want to see but yeah well all right that runner is coming back re-reloading oh but though it'll be like someone else wizard of the coast and probably be a booster pack kind of game not like an lcg format so you'll be chasing rares and secondary market and that kind of stuff yeah star wars 2. yes dan unfortunately sorry sorry you may be hunting down this one also i'm sorry uh because it's good solo it's recommended solo and it's it's on bgg two players like the like best with two player but like very highly recommended solo and it's true solo i think right someone can correct me in the chat but i think this game is true solo like you build one deck like uh marvel champions i'm pretty sure i forgot to even like sure as well yeah i forgot to even like really think about it because uh yeah we were playing on playing this together like from the start so i never thought about building true solo decks but yeah minecraft says yes okay yeah perfect okay perfect uh then you guys are gonna see me playing this on the channel at some point solo too then yeah that's awesome okay perfect yeah so i can build like a solo focus deck okay cool awesome all right let's talk about our decks segway all right if you're curious about the decks i've linked them down in the video description let's see if we can get this up here all right so i'm using these decks i just net decked a couple decks as i if you guys have followed before with lcgs uh i love to play them i'm not a fan of sitting there spreading out the card pool on the table even though we have a small card pool uh i i know there's the knowledge of the hive mind that is already using a website here like arkham db again link in the video description uh this is the roland bank deck we're playing the two recommended starter uh investigators roland and wendy i'm playing roland mel's playing wendy we're just we're just we just went basic so we played the game with the single core set tried that out like the rules suggested and then we're like right after that we're like hooked we're like let's play a campaign i'm again opening the second core set we're building decent decks i'm going to quickly find some onlines we want to play and uh thank you to uh i guess in the farming community this game is really popular uh so uncle george the farmer here uh posted a structure deck series so uh in the right up here super good write up lots of good comments which is pretty cool even recommends like your update upgrade route yeah which is awesome um which is cool so this helps out for a new player getting in this game like yeah i played lord of the rings i played marvel yeah i played other lcgs being on one of these db sites reading read ups and understanding things it's second nature it's really nice so i went right here right away and it's a pull from other people's knowledge but what he did here was put a bunch of these decks together to help help new players get started based on the investigator starter decks so those investigator starter decks that came out that yes are hard to find i can't get them i would love to have them um so what they he wanted to do knowing that stuff was out of stock to help new players kind of build a starter level deck out of just two core sets so i obviously filtered by i just owned two corsets show me some decks with rollin show me some decks and this one has like 306 likes on it and it was built you know in the last year or something so i thought you know like i'm gonna i'm gonna try this one out uh so the if you're interested in reading up the write up or knowing what cards are in the deck and you want to have it open in a different tab or read about it later or you're curious what's in our deck and want to help us with the upgrade path we do later feel free at the end of this episode based on the experience we earn which is kind of cool with this game uh we can buy uh different cards and add them to our deck and take other cards out so that like is a huge draw to me yeah the campaign play in this like light years ahead of marvel champions i was super let down by the campaign expansion that game was such a lame campaign i thought they were gonna like you know learn from what they did in this game and like improve but then i realized like wait it's the marvel license it's more lighter it's not like you know it's comic kind of movie audience you know like they're trying to pull in non-gamers into the game so they don't want to make it too complex i think uh this is more aimed at the like hardcore ffg gamer book reader kind of like you know i i don't know how to say it but like it's like the more gamer gamer i think it's right more advanced i think i'm just assisting that's what i would say based on playing yeah that's my assumption so that's kind of let down by the that but i'm glad to see they do this kind of stuff here so uh we also have the wendy deck linked down in the video description like i said uh thank you again to uncle george the farmer uh on arkhamdb.com and if you're watching uh say hello leave a comment down below if you ever see this video thank you for making these decks to help us get this game to the table faster we appreciate it uh but yes again nice write up in here uh recommended upgrade paths lots of answering people's questions yeah great comments i read through all of it yeah i love i love when people take the time to like do this stuff i like i appreciate you very much as you're doing what i can and you save me tons of time and i can have fun playing the game and sometimes people recommend cards in here that i read the first time and i'm like well kind of lame i don't get it but then they recommend a card and then in the write-up they describe how the card works with other cards and then my mind is blown and then that's how i get to experience i i learn better by doing it uh so i this is the way i like it it kind of by netdecking i find it it forces me to use cards i may have not put in a deck if i was building it from scratch which i like i'm not ashamed to say a netdeck i pre i value my time uh and i get these games i love the gameplay of these games the deck building is fun and i like tweaking and like customizing and i think it's cool but building a deck from scratch it's a skill i just don't have very well i don't think and i'll be honest but yeah okay uh so they're there in case anyone's curious see dancing a good first buy would be returned to the night of the zealot expansion it has a few upgrades and give diversity into series actually everything i read uh says stay away from the return to boxes as a new player until you've gotten the like uh other stuff but i know that's just for the base set so that would work and i did see that in stock but it's also like a price gouge item where you're paying 40 for basically a box of air and like a tiny stack of cards and some dividers i mean to some that might be good but like i i think it's like overpriced storage solution to be honest uh because i i know what the nightmare decks are from lord of the rings and it's similar to those nightmare decks which were fine but they were trying to sell me a box on the side for 30 dollars a cardboard box with some art on it which i thought was kind of lame so like i see why those products are all in stock because a lot of people aren't getting you know aren't aren't falling for that uh but hey if you got the money and you want to store all your campaign separate and i might end up doing that in the future but i don't think that's a recommendation for a first product to grab daniel to be honest everything i saw about it i did watch a lot of reviews on the different products i've been reading up on the game trying to find out you know based on what's available why are certain things available and then you start reading like certain things are difficult the gameplay is messy the theme is not there and some of the expansions that's why some of them are still in stock people aren't grabbing them up or they don't have great player cards we saw this happen in thrones where people buy multiple copies of of uh packs just because they had great cards in them and stuff but yeah there is also and i don't know if you were planning on talking about it but there's some chat about the books and the novellas yeah we have one uh those are awesome yes i bought one mel's reading the jenny barnes one right now we found one at our local game store and i was like it has cards in it which i will not buy it's because it has cards in it no no but i wanted to read i like this theme and i wanted to yeah we love manchester madness okay i like manchester united i like the theme of it i like cthulhu theme yeah uh so i thought that was a cool way that ffge i've bought in their art books and stuff in the past um so it's cool to see they have like novellas for this game and stuff and we have a local game store that has a couple of them in stock so mel grabbed one just to see what they were just wanted to read it through and see so yeah we have the jenny barnes alternate art character with a couple like uh unique cards or whatever but uh to be to be seen on the channel if we ever get the expansions with jenny barnes cards in it and stuff and we can use them yeah i know we can use it right now because you can use like just swapper with corset yeah yeah then you're pretty much playing like the exact same i don't know i don't think the carpool is good for that but i think once we get the expansion she's in you'll have some other cards that work with her maybe better i don't know but yeah well it's twin 45 so yeah yeah yeah i'm excited to read motor backstory for sure i haven't i just started it comes and done which legacy so that's the first box yeah yeah that's the first box okay so that's what we'll be getting next i saw that's in stock so again if you guys you know hit that like button share this video with whatever groups or i don't know where the arkham horror fans are hiding i'm sure they're on facebook just like every other lcg you're in there's subreddits and stuff i'll find you guys later but um yeah if you guys want to share this get some support if you guys want to watch us play through live we'll be playing through everything live and this we played once just to learn the game but future campaigns we will play through for like the first time on the channel you'll watch us yeah real reactions you'll watch us run face first and lose and all that kind of stuff we'll have some fun with it and you guys can help we'll do polls on choosing which characters we use uh kate's going to help us build some decks i was going to say that she mentioned that she's available for deck building numbers and say we will definitely take you up on that for sure for this one uh kate when you mentioned it already we already had those decks netdecked like you know learning them and playing with them and i didn't want to start changing up stuff because you know i just want to play and not not fumble on cards that i don't know um and try to you know show off the game as best i can without stumbling as much um but yes for future campaigns we'll get kate to build some decks yep we'll get you guys picking our characters we play and we'll play through some campaigns live you can help us make option choices we'll do that here too yeah uh and what some of you do on the channel you guys can vote in the chat on choices when they come up if we're you know if we're not sure what to pick or sometimes we'll just let you guys run the run the choices and you know drive us through it do you want to drop that link one more time yes i will drop the link one last time for uh voting on the difficulty so anyone who's just tuned in i know with a live stream people uh tune in and might not have seen the link so i just posted a link in the chat so if you're on a device go to the live chat bring it up below and click on the straw poll link there

we're okay playing standard if people are normal if people want to play it uh and it's recommended normal it says if you want a challenge and easy there is hard and legendary but we're not there yet we're not we're not here to like uh have our face smash we want to these three episodes are going to show off the game to players who maybe don't know what arkham lcg is because there are people that are in the live chat there's quite a few of you uh also people that may find the channel or fans of the channel aren't watching right now because they're you know in the uk in bed but i know some of you guys some of you are here i see some of yours what are you doing up right now um but there are some people on other parts of the world that this is not the best streaming time so you guys will be tuning in tomorrow uh sorry you couldn't vote on that but uh yeah i want to show the game off to you guys so we'll just you know go through it but i'm okay if it's not easy mode that's fine too maybe we'll see some different options than other people have seen too sorry rob it's all good 1am there's his bones oh gosh i'm so sorry no it's okay i don't think this will be too long since we played this once before we kind of got an idea of how long it takes uh but i am trying to get this all set up for those who don't know arkham horror and those are new to the channel uh and killing time for others to show up who got the alert and just haven't shown up uh but yeah we'll get into it now ready to go to the table yep all right this is arkham horn of the card game all right uh yes it's based on the cthulhu mythos uh from hp lovecraft a racist author from the 1920s or something uh this stuff became uh for those who don't know it's like what's that called when something is like open domain or whatever and anyone can use the license so ffg took it they have tons of games in this line so you'll see similar characters similar art to other games like manchester madness we've played on the channel before uh arkham horror final hour uh there's arkham horror the board game that exists you'll see art from that public domain that's it so john thank you uh yeah so so the lovecraft mythos horror that this guy came up with uh is used nowadays there's a show recently on hbo uh lovecraft country very good uh yeah very good show very good show where they do a twist on it uh it's awesome yeah it was very good awesome uh but yeah there's books there's stories there's movies or shows that all use this horror theme with cthulhu you guys know the cool mini or not game come on game we've been playing cthulhu death me die on the channel which will be playing more of that it's all that same world and that same theme for those that don't know this is a living card game what that means it's not a collectible card game a ccg with like booster packs that are randomized so there's no there's no real secondary market per se of like chasing down single cards uh because when you buy an expansion pack you get usually uh two copies of each card so enough to build with and you know what is in the pack you're buying so it's like set distribution uh so that's what a living card game is and it's living because it constantly in theory when they announce a new game they save a monthly releases but to anyone who's played an lcg or a fantasy playgames product uh yeah that means you know after the core set drops in monthly releases will start but then there's always delays for some reason at the beginning uh for like multiple months before the first pack drops and then after the first cycle is done there's like a three month break where you're like where the hell's the next cycle ffg and then there's a giant break and players leave the game and go find other new shiny things to follow and you lose players and drives me nuts uh so yeah in theory there's monthly releases this game's been out for five years though so there is a crap ton of expansions yeah there is promo stuff there is side stuff from from conventions there is mythos packs scenario packs deluxe boxes whatever those are called uh campaign boxes i think in this one um but yeah and there's the core set so we're playing with just core set content today but as recommended we bought two core sets so that we would have uh two of every single card yes you'll have extra cardboard that you'll be wasting that you won't need because there's a lot of duplicated stuff but they made a lot of cards single on this one uh for each faction or build type uh yeah i saw that barcum horror thing when they posted on the website i was like man what are the fans of this game drinking why is this dog on the cover of this car this this back i don't even want to know what's happening in that community but i thought it's hilarious but anyways we'll play that eventually too i saw that exist if we can find it um but yeah uh so yeah um so it's based on that theme uh we are investigators you pick an investigator you build a deck so this is a not a deck building game but it's a you build your deck before sitting at the table and as you play through uh the campaign you'll earn experience and you'll be able to buy cards from your collection and spend experience points to either upgrade cards to the same card but a higher level version of it which might be more efficient or just buying different cards and putting them in your deck but you always have to replace cards and stay at a specific number of cards in your deck so for example roland banks uh has deck building restrictions on the back and a little story but his deck size is 30. so it always has to have 30 cards in it but there are some required cards like roland's 38 special a weakness cover-up and a random basic weakness which we'll grab in a second that do not count towards the 30. but when i'm done setting this up we will i'll have 33 cards in my deck so if i add a card when i'm purchasing cards between the campaign scenarios which you'll see at the end of the stream and you guys will help us buy cards for the next uh stream which is tomorrow um yeah we'll be spending experience we'll take cards out as we put cards in so it's kind of cool each investigator has their own deck on restrictions so i can only have guardian cards level zero to five seeker cards which is another faction zero to two and neutral cards is level zero to five so all my cards in here right now are level zero you have to own you build your deck to start it all has level zero cards in it unless you're doing the crazy variant stuff that is is included in the rule books where you can take an investigator from a previous campaign who has like wounds and weaknesses all this crap and upgraded cards and you can take them on to another campaign if you want we're playing with fresh characters but there's lots of different play variants of this game which is cool uh we have specific stats so we do lots of skill checks and if you played manchester madness and i'm assuming arkham horror eldritch or any of those other fft games elder sign whatever uh it's a thing in this world to be like rpg-ish with the skill check stuff so in this game we have willpower intellect uh fight for combat uh and agility so when we're doing certain tests uh you know like uh stuff's coming off the um encounter encounter deck like treacheries and these kind of things similar to lord of the rings uh you'll be doing like willpower checks most likely to stop yourself from taking horror which can make you go insane so very similar to those other kind of games and we have a health value so everybody has different values and you have an ability so you could do tests also to find clues to fight and to run away from monsters so the general gist of this game from a very simplified high level is we are investigators trying to find clue tokens again they can change per scenario but in general the game is about finding clues which are these green tokens either doom counters i think on the other side um we're trying to find clues at locations to progress the story before the agenda deck uh you know advances itself so we're trying to advance our act deck using clues usually faster than the game advances the agenda deck which is bad and we don't really know what the goal is and the goal can change kind of based on hidden information on the backs of these cards based on us advancing and we may get in certain weird situations um yeah and the other thing is not just finding clues but also fighting and evading monsters those are like the core things in the game finding clues dealing with monsters that's it that's from a simplified view that's really all this game is about yep all it's about similar i guess marvel champions is just like dealing with minions and fighting a villain right that's really the two thing if you like really look at that game that's it and lord of the rings you're dealing with a threat ah yes which here yes we're dealing with no no this is the yeah yeah the floor it's always a threat thing yeah yeah uh like in lord of the rings same thing right like there's uh you're trying to and that get progress right and it's similar to clues and progress locations and you know push through the story uh sometimes fast uh and complete it so all right uh this is not our first time playing this is our second time playing first time on camera yeah first time on stream we played it once to learn the game so we played through this campaign we won't talk about what we saw we'll just play through here and see what happens we will make your guys will make the choices for us uh again carts can come up different uh we haven't seen all the options and things that will happen this is it's fairly replayable i think based on like just going to find the resolution of each thing based on the numbers we saw it's like oh there's this many options i kind of see but i didn't read them any of them on purpose so uh so yeah we're still new so feel free to chime in like i said earlier for those are just tuning in if you notice we're goofing up on a card we're playing it wrong or have misread something feel free to try them in if you're watching this later drop comments down below leave timestamps maybe you can catch a mistake we made and we'll fix it for the next uh stream which is tomorrow and the stream the next day after that all those streams you can set reminders for they're down in the video description there's a playlist link go hit that up uh and we'll see you guys tomorrow on the next day for sure okay uh so we need to uh let's finish our decks so i want to do this on camera uh but when you build a deck you also have to put in one random basic weakness you have a weakness that comes with your character which is like a horrible card some worse than others uh oh this is a bad one so this is a basic weakness in a core set comes with 10 of them a couple of them have two copies you'd use one set of these and everyone at the table as long as you're playing from the same collection we'll draw one of these at random and put it in your deck okay you know what it is it's in your deck but it's in your deck now for the whole campaign and yes you can get others of these put in your deck throughout a campaign and maybe have them removed from your deck i don't know but supposedly that can happen i don't know if it's in this campaign or other campaigns but that was something that was explained to me um but yeah so as you saw that last one could just discard all your resources so we'll talk about the ones we got and we'll talk about others but so the one i got oh i hate this one so much yeah that's annoying let me tell you something in card games my favorite thing is drawing and having a crap ton of cards in hand so i can't barely hold them okay aims the card limits it's fine this one is an eight card limit to your hand uh that you check at the end of the turn but you got as many cards you want during it i love card draw i love options i love having a whole hand of cards but man seeing this one and this one i've drawn every single time i think uh that i've played this game and you choose and discard even when i was like learning the start scenario but choose and discard all but one card from your hand so hopefully i see this like when i'm sitting there with like no cards in hand or one card in hand yeah but just knowing this is my deck it tenses the crap out of me and and i'm worried about ever holding things in hand they're trying to build up to something yeah because you're going to lose it because yeah oh could be worse could be worse i i don't know i don't know there's one where you could lose all your resources too yeah that's what i had of course those two these two that i think are the garbage this discard all uh your resources or discard all your cards there's two copies of each in that pile of ten cards so it's more likely you're gonna get one of those uh but yeah that's fun okay so i got oh ryan's here hey right i got a stubborn detective oh better than losing all your resources or your cards i think he's a humanoid and a detective prey is bearer only so i'm assuming that's moving that means he comes engaged with you yeah he has a three-fight value so if you want to fight him you have to successfully test three or higher on a combat or fight yeah he has two health and the middle value there the right value is agility so if you want to exhaust him and run away from him you gotta pass an agility test of two yeah and while he's at your location treat your investigator as if his or her printed text box were blank except for traits any deals one damage to you if you try to do any other actions besides fight evade um parlay or resign yeah so true my text box which is this yeah right okay that's not the worst but i'm not a fighter so true but you can invade him and run from him yeah but then he's a hunter so he's gonna follow me yeah and he'll go after you when there's a tie yeah but if i'm closest he'll come after me yeah like you know he just goes after the closest but if there's a tie he'll go by his prey value that's okay uh so i am an agency detective i'm the fed rolling banks so after you defeat an enemy so this is a reaction ability here you can discover one clue at your location limit once per round and then uh this little star effect is based on tokens we pull randomly from a bag so there's no dice in this game there is no uh attack modifier decks the equivalent is a bag of tokens uh which we'll set up based on difficulty uh in a second here and then that effect so if i draw that one in like 15 or 16 token i get plus one for each clue at my location so the more clues on the location my guy is chilling at uh the better that result will be and i have nine health and five damage mel who are you playing i am playing oops sorry i'm playing wendy adams she has four willpower three intellect one combat for agility she's a drifter and has the um ability when you reveal a chaos token choose and discard one card from your hand cancel the chaos token and return it to the bag reveal a new chaos token limit once per test slash ability if i draw the star my effect is plus zero if wendy's amulet is in play you automatically succeed instead i believe that star is actually called an elder sign thanks if i'm correct if i remember correctly that's what i think it's called based on other cuthula games and stuff i bet there's one card in the core box that confused rob but he couldn't find it what the hell are you talking about i lifted up the insert there was no hidden cards how am i missing a card it's probably some sort of joke but we're not getting it i don't think we're missing a card yet and we played through the whole thing is there were there printings that were missing yeah lee to this one right this one you're talking about yeah what about her was she not in certain printings of the game oh yeah i found her well i don't understand okay it's a joke and we will see okay it's some sort of joke that we just don't understand okay it's a joke rob people can't find it they didn't have it yeah was it was it because it was like uh with other like was it stuffed in the player cards instead of the encounter cards or something like in the original like sorting yeah okay but that's fine like i sort out all the cards like i was building decks and doing all of it at the same time so i just kind of like sorted everything in piles on the table oh okay i understand i understand that i understand that from other uh ffg products they'll print things in in stacks and kind of just separate them into the baggies however many cards will fit in one of those little standard baggies with the blue sticker on them and sometimes yes they break up a set of cards so in this game i think maybe players assumed one bag was player cards one bag was encounter cards yeah cards and i guess this was but when i open those here's how i open ffg stuff i literally just like open those bags take all the cards and i stack them in one stack and then i just sort them all out on the table because i know stuff like weird stuff like that happens but yeah that's funny that's funny oh wow so were people like deck building with this then like you know what i mean like were people putting this card in their deck maybe oh thinking it's like a neutral card yeah and like oh i'll play with this in my deck and then we're like i can't find her now that i need to set up the scenario and it's like i don't know maybe that's kind of funny that's funny okay okay lena needs their own t-shirts yes i bought this stupid card game and all i got was this game of trying to find leta but i have two leaders because we bought two core sets i have double the chance of finding her yeah so maybe that was it too yeah that's why ffg gets you to buy two core sets so just in case you lose lead in one box yeah you'll find her in the other so yeah that's it uh no don't assume dan do not assume anything in this game okay don't assume anything don't assume anything dan don't assume anything i'm afraid to read his backstory now so all right so let's get to the setup uh oh yeah uh so this we gotta find out what difficulty uh in a second here so let's go to thank you to everyone that voted yeah yeah we'll find out a sec first okay so setting up the game all these steps choose investigator each uh player choose a different investigator and place that investigator card done take trauma damage or horror in campaign play if you are defeated or there's other ways you could take permanent loss to health or your sanity before you start the next scenario that's what that's all about we need to choose one of these investigators to be the lead investigator i want you guys to vote in the chat do we want roland or wendy to be the lead investigator and it doesn't matter for story and stuff but it is the person who breaks ties i think uh or or gets to do choices and stuff if you ever have something that you you know they're also a person that starts turn order yeah drop a roland or a wendy in the chat and we'll just go with the majority um i'm curious how that yeah that could make things different um then we're gonna assemble and shuffle the investigator decks sure the token pool so we're gonna do that now uh or we did that sorry the chaos bag is what we need to do now and in in the campaign mode sorry the chaos bag is gonna be assembled once at the beginning and we'll use that bag throughout and yes tokens can be changed in it throughout a campaign and then we'll draw our we'll get five resources and draw five cards okay i'll do this well if you give a five resources to each of us uh the bag so uh you guys voted but i was already building the bag how i wanted it here uh and i thought we could do this right because like i beat the game on legendary and this was the bag i use isn't that how the game works just kidding all right just kidding just kidding he's trying to get a funny joke with that but that did that i think that fell flat all right so we're gonna build the token pool and that's what goes in this bag so they tell you you know you need to find a bag or something an ffg doesn't want to include a bag that's what i'm ranting about so we have this little bag here this opaque bag we're going to fill with so many tokens so these are like your attack modifier deck from gloomhaven or basically like a customized die you're going to roll every time you do a skill test that could modify yes bob yes you caught me canadian humor i love it yes all right uh let's go to the poll the last chance anyone who hasn't voted there's your vote true last chance this time so if you want to vote on the difficulty now's the time and that will affect the bag uh here's how the bag of evil will be affected so for playing easy i want to experience the story you can't you put a couple plus ones in there three zeros a few minus ones minus twos some skulls little cultist head uh whatever the heck that is uh some uh tentacle elder sign okay elder signs good all these other things are bad until you get to like the zeros and the plus ones okay but on standard you see here uh it actually you know why am i holding this up like an idiot why am i doing it uh right here so easy uh is that in the bag and standard is you know there's a minus four minus three you're added in there they take away one of the plus ones and a zero so it just makes it harder so when you do a test a skill test you have to spend cards and that kind of thing to make sure your skill test value is above what you need to do to pass um so yeah so we're we're gonna go based on how you guys voted we're gonna we're gonna set up this bag right now and this bag sticks with us through the next three episodes uh which is cool and it may modify based on campaign choices and stuff uh all ian right saying that you're keeping the voting open until easy has the most votes i can't even see the the we don't have it open yet yeah i haven't looked at all actually uh on purpose i didn't want other people to see too i didn't want to sway in one's vote i honestly want you guys to pick it for us i'm okay with either option to be honest um whatever you guys want to watch it's up to you guys are watching like i'm okay playing whatever i just didn't think playing on like legendary i didn't want to like fail out too quick or like lose every test that's no fun for anyone yeah we die and then we have to like build new decks in the middle of a stream because an investigator died before we go on the next one and stuff like it still could happen i'm sure but uh i want it to be less likely we get investigators on the dead list like completely dead uh so who's the lead investigator it looks like wendy right one two three four five six seven eight and roland has one two three four highest will is who me you so that's a vote for you so another one okay and then one two yeah i think it's wendy right uh matt's voting for frank sorry matt frank uh yeah i think it's me frank only got one vote flasher guys what's with you dan and assuming every character i play with there's always one naked dude in every game i play what i don't know why what do you think kind of games i'm playing over here but he just tunes in at the right time i guess no he's been here he's been planning that he researched that and thought of that before the stream i'm just kidding hey dale's here just joined have you all played this game before uh dale we played once to learn the game uh or this is our second time playing with these characters through this campaign we play one time to learn the game um so yes so we are fairly new to it the first time on the channel so we've been harassed for five or six years now to play this game on the channel five years now five years came out 2016 and literally like even before it was out i was being asked like rob you're playing all these lcgs on your channel and basically that's the majority of our content was at the time yeah uh was living card games competitive and co-op and yeah it was uh was being asked like why aren't you getting this game why aren't you playing it why aren't you excited i've avoided it for that long and here we've i finally gave in i gave it to the peer pressure chat made me buy it hashtag chat made me buy it uh if you die you just read the defeat resolution and next mission taking a trauma ah true yeah we wouldn't totally die in the this campaign yeah no one but you could you could no because when when one dies yeah because you'd only but there are other ways to get trauma though so like there is possibly if if i lose the first two and i have other ways that i get mental trauma being only at five for example for my guy he could go insane like very early in the third scenario maybe even in the second i think yeah it's probably possible they are easy i understand yeah i understand yeah i'm just talking like you know i know you guys want me to play legendary but we're not doing it uh no no that's not true all right uh okay okay uh we'll just take the poll now oh you guys are funny you guys are super funny how did you guys plan that yeah i don't know what other chat you guys are hiding in and work this out so it's a dead tie but if anyone hasn't voted dale i'm looking at you who just showed up literally your vote is like the most powerful vote anyone who votes right now like we need to break this so there's the link in the chat go vote and let's get this like one way or the other just come on you guys are horrible yeah someone needs to be a tie breaker yeah get in there someone get in there who hasn't voted that's hilarious and vote the problem is actually she needs to be on a different ip so she needs to be on like her mobile phone network or something so she has a different ipv to the internet if you're all on the same wi-fi it won't work or at least in theory it shouldn't work according to the ip duplication checking but i could be wrong guys are horrible oh my god we need someone a recount yeah legal votes only legal votes only one person we need you to break our tie here really that's hilarious we're gonna do a coin flip then or something i i don't know ryan's from pennsylvania he should decide yes brian someone just vote from your cell phone if you voted from your house uh it should refresh automatically i haven't i haven't done any refresh hold on let me see if i can oh there we go oh maybe it was like maybe it wasn't yeah maybe it was stuck thank you yeah i was stuck wow i was i saw when i when i saw the first couple votes and when i set this up it was like actually live uh it must have uh timed out it must have timed out i'm sorry guys i'm sorry okay well we don't need wow okay that's good that's weird like timed out exactly tied at perfect yeah yeah yeah so sorry more voted normal so we're going normal 57 percent of you wanted normal okay okay so i didn't need to harass you guys early and i'm so sorry i just need to refresh wow all right let's get to the table that was so funny yeah because i saw it start going live like refreshing on its own i went oh okay i could just leave it up hide it in another tab i'll look at it when we're done voting and i'll see the results and when i saw it was tied i was like oh okay what's going on here all right but yeah i've had it open for now a couple hours i guess yeah cause we had it before one hour i've had it open yeah for like about an hour yeah maybe timed out after like you know half an hour or something thank you to everyone so minus four okay so we need to build the uh pool uh which is [Music] all right so mel's gonna lay the tokens out here we're gonna put them in the bag yep tell me plus one two zeros three minus ones two minus twos a minus three and a minus four and then two skulls okay occultist uh whatever that like candy cane looking weird thing i don't know what the heck that is i have no idea like what i don't know like what the heck is this like what is that like it's upside down j is that a j or something weird oh it's a tablet yes it's yes yes it's a table no it's a stone tablet yeah yeah yeah i did i remember reading that now that you say that thank you yes but it was like a like a limb of a monster or something what the heck okay sure forgot i forgot and then i need uh auto fail right yeah you need the uh so this is like an automatic fail you draw this from the bag you literally your test goes down to zero so even if you put like eight uh value into a test that you need nine to pass you don't just lose by one you literally lose by like nine because this would auto fail uh i hate that one this is like the uh the null in blue maven yeah or you know kind of like the blank in manchester madness except for manchester madness it's like having 67 of these on your dice for some reason because like every side in that game is blank for somebody only when you roll yeah they're all blank dice in that game i think we got misprinted dice in manchester venice but okay and then we got and the elder sign which is good this one's good you want to see this one this is like specific to your character this is the one that has a cool ability uh to give you extra successes but uh depending on the scenario depending on the scenario the the tokens change what they do which i think is super clever so the skulls in this one and there are other tokens that we're not even using that you will see in different scenarios but the skulls are minus two if you fail after the skill test search the encounter deck and discard pile for a ghoul traded enemy and draw it shuffle the encounter deck if we see the cultist token you gotta reveal another token uh if you fail take two oh sorry this is on the hard side we're playing on this side oh whoa i never i didn't even know there was a second side okay sorry we're on this side wrong side wrong yeah sorry panic no panic everyone we got it breathe breathe we're okay i know i start reading and i'm like i've never seen these abilities before what is going on i didn't even realize them uh so easy and standard you play with this side so this is what's cool you can up the difficulty so it gets even worse i thought it was just the bag change i didn't realize what the tokens did it gets worse so all those voters to play on standard uh it's just some token changes basically i think uh because the abilities are the same so minus x to the test x is the number of google enemies at your location if we draw a skull if we draw a cultist uh minus one if you fail take a horror and the tablet or tombstone or whatever minus two and if there's a ghoul enemy at your location take one damage okay so that just sits out here reminding us that's what those tokens do again they're different for i guess even the same scenario they're diff different based on difficulty level which just blew my mind yeah that's awesome all right uh what else from setup do we have to do i just don't want to miss anything he's in the bag oh yeah you do that there's nothing in the bag yeah there's no there's no plus sevens in the bag i didn't stuff the bag it was all a joke okay but if anyone has any custom printed like plus five send them on over to me yeah that won't be suspicious at all plus five plus five people like what we're just like plus five and like just do it it's like it's like a white token with like uh like magic mark like permanent marker like written all funny on it it doesn't even look like it fits with the game what what plus five what's the problem or automatic pass you win all right uh so we need to draw our opening hands so i'm gonna do a little shuffling uh just cause i reset my deck after a last play took out some cards obviously that we got from leveling up but i sorted out the deck so it needs a little little bit of breaking up i did shuffle a little bit earlier but just want to make sure and you guys will see cards as we draw them we'll talk about certain cards in the game for those who don't know how it works but literally we're drawing cards we have card types are assets which are cards you can pay and play and uh down on the table uh they give you like ongoing abilities or some of them attached to cards as you've seen in every other card game that exists attachments kind of thing but they're just assets but they'll tell you to attach there's events so you'll play event cards from your hand to do one time abilities they go to your discard pile every card game has that and then you have skill cards which are kind of clever and unique to this game so for a skill test i'll just show you a card here while i'm shuffling so this card for example is an asset i could play two to put it into play then it gives me these free actions on the bottom that are kind of free as they don't cost me an action on the turn but i have to spend a resource and i can add a value to a skill test okay but if you notice here on the left there is symbols that match some of those skill tests so on a skill test i can spend cards out of hand like dual use and use them uh for that i can spend them to add value to a skill test and i ignore the rest of the stuff on a card so every card in your deck is pretty much dual use but there is skill cards i should probably have there are skill cards like this one that literally are not put into play they're not played like an event they're actually played only on skill tests and they tell you it's a skill card up here uh and this one you can play it on an intellect test and then it has a little ability that goes along with the skill test so if this skill test was successful while you're investing in a location you discover one additional clue at the location okay so those are like the three card types there are weaknesses uh that you saw us put in the deck that are bad when we draw them we have to reveal them and do the ability on them we have a basic weakness and then our each deck has one that comes in that's specific to our deck as well so we do have two weeks yeah which is kind of cool each investigator is like has something that's unique to them like some kind of item and then a weakness card that goes along with their story and stuff and that's what i think is cool about those novellas is that the uh investigators you get in those novellas they're like alternate art versions of the the other characters so the abilities are the same on their base card and they just have alternate art based on the art and the book but then the weakness and the uh asset or skill card or whatever that they come with that's unique to them is something that's from that story from their origin story which is really cool so for example we have the jenny barnes one so you could play the jenny barnes from you guys were saying the dunwich legacy cycle who she's you know at a certain point and has certain skills and does her own kind of thing but then you could play the jenny barnes version from the novella story uh that has a different flavor to her i guess kind of still has the same base ability though but it's cool though yeah it's just neat and same stats too but just two diff two unique cards i think it's a neat little twist i like that okay uh so now we're gonna draw five cards for opening hand what one thing i was gonna say and i don't know if you wanna mention is that we may talk about our cards a little bit more than maybe you should right because of streaming i know this will happen this happens to us in gloomhaven videos we still get comments to this day that we're a bunch of cheaters because uh we talk too much about strategy and whatnot when we're picking cards in gloomhaven this has kind of a similar rules to it glue maven you're allowed to talk about general strategy and stuff you're just not allowed to say like specific card names numbers you know uh you know words on the card kind of thing and get too gamey with it this has those same kind of rules it tells you to kind of role play it any kind of hidden information so certain cards all get to look at i'm not supposed to really show you your hand should be private to you i shouldn't know anything about your hand you shouldn't know anything about my hand for example if i'm doing a combat test and i'm like mel could you you know i i would love to have two extra fight do you even have two extra fight mel before i even do this test you're not allowed to say like yes i have two or i only have one or i have this card in hand you're supposed to say like i can help you i can help you if you do it but that's that's all i can tell you like you know i i you have to be general with it it's a kind of role play but playing on stream for us to stay silent and play that game with an audience watching we're going to be a little more open with it because there are people are going to be watching this who want to a learn the game a little bit uh and or decide if they want to buy the game and see how to how it just generally works so i'm just putting out there as like a disclaimer you're supposed to kind of be like more role play and kind of secret but we're playing we're going to be more open-handed talking about stuff as we play it may make it a little easier too because we'll be like you know like you will see i have cards in hand because like i'm literally playing with them on camera right so there's like i'm not going to sit here like this the whole time like i i can play this or this like with with you guys and then if i play something rob would know i still have the other card i didn't play oh yes we will get comments and all people say it guys stop you know you're talking too much you're breaking the the intent of the game the rules of the game but like it's your game you play it how you want so whatever and there's no money on the line here there's not a tournament there's no judges uh but we have an audience watching so we're gonna play a little more open uh but we do know that exists so you don't need to you know get angry in the comments calling us straight up cheaters we you can call us users for other reasons but but not for that yes we gave you the warning but not for that that's how we'll play yeah yes yeah all right that's how it works on live streams all right okay so we can now mulligan and any weaknesses so i did get a weakness yeah i got a weakness too so if you draw a weakness uh when you're drawing your starting cards you just set it aside and you draw a replacement right i think you draw a replacement oh do you yeah i'm pretty sure so that you're choosing from five legit oh i see i see yes then from those five cards you can choose any ones you want to set aside and then fill back up to five like a one-time mulligan uh and they tell you in the book to kind of like look for assets kind of have stuff you're trying to build up your character uh with stuff to prepare them for the worst so for those who are curious who know the cards i got dynamite blast here unexpected courage guts flashlight and an event called dodge uh so dynamite blast i'm probably gonna toss it because it costs five you start with five resources yes but i have no enemies in play right now that i know of because i played this before but in general like this is the card i want to kind of play later when enemies have built up you can deal three damage to any investigator or enemy at my location or an adjacent location uh for five a little pricey i kind of want to see that later so i kind of want them all get mulligan uh unexpected courage this is one of those skill cards this is like the best skill card because it has that little question mark symbol which is a wild which means i can use it on any test for two points and when we're in a skill test uh if you're at the same location if mel and i are the same all right sorry if roland and wendy are at the same location uh and i'm doing a skill chest test or skill check or whatever i can play as many cards as i want that have the matching symbols to that test but but any other player at the same location so you're playing two three four player uh they can commit one card from their hand for their symbols also um but again this because it's a skill card also has an ability on it this one is a limiting one max one committed per skill test so i can't play this and you can't play this on the same test so even if you're playing a single card in my test and i've played this one you can also play this one very versatile card yeah yeah it's very powerful that's what that's the drawback yeah uh yeah i feel like this is a keep yeah i feel like it's a keep but again you guys let me know in the chat your thoughts who have played this for a while i could be way off on this again we've only played like i think four sessions total like learning the game in the the starting scenario and then playing this campaign one time through i haven't even seen all the cards be played some of the cards i save and then they get ripped out of your hand and stuff so i don't even get to use them so annoying but that's how it goes i also got another skill card called guts this one uh it's good for the will power stuff uh max one committed per skill test if it's successful you draw a card stay back i can i'll handle this uh okay and then a flashlight which is like yeah i'm gonna take that i think uh it's two uh it's an asset i put it down it gets uses so it'll get three tokens on it that you can use this three times uh there are certain assets that have hand slots amulet slots um companion slots there is a limit uh and if they don't have a symbol you have as many as you want so this will take up one hand slot uh and i could i can spend one of my three actions on a turn to investigate my location it gets minus two shroud which that just means the test i'm doing to try to get clue tokens off of it uh it reduces that value i'm trying to test against uh but it's very powerful and it's cheap i start with five resources i think it's something i want to get and play i don't even see any other weapons in hand right now i'd like to have something played down as an asset uh so that's the only asset i have uh yeah it is uh or i have this event dodge which i've never actually played for its ability i only played for tests but i could be using it wrong it's fast and fast means it doesn't cost an action uh so when i play it it's always one of my actions and i i basically can you know block an enemy attack so it's like a defensive card but i don't really care i want a gun i want a gun so i want to mulligan a little hard i feel like i want roland's 38 special or the 45 that are in the deck again if you want to know what cards are in these decks right now uh the links are down in the video description over to arkham db we netdect uh a couple decks they are in there if you guys want to read information on the decks or look at the deck list while we're playing for those who join late uh you can go check them out there and you can help us with our upgrade paths later um so yeah check that out i would ditch everything except the flashlight yes yeah yeah yeah okay that's that's yeah yeah i don't know i like i like keeping these because like tests happen right like even like you know first round of the game you're drawing crap off the deck but again these aren't like they're just going to sit in my hand until those times but yeah i think that i'll go with that that makes sense okay so i'll draw four new car there we go 45 automatic all right and oh bro i got rollins 30 and special and 45 automatic got another unexpected courage and a vicious blow the vicious blow basically helps me uh do some extra damage on attacks i'll see those tests uh 45 automatic it's some for ammo uses i can use it to fight increase my fight value doing some extra damage uh rolling 38 special love it if there's clues at my location i can increase my test by three deal some extra damage this is my unique card that only goes in my deck ever uh i don't know which one i'd probably play the cheaper one first i would think but i literally can play both at some point when i have the resources because they each just take up one hand slot so i've never done it yet but in theory i could dual wield which is pretty cool okay uh so these will get shuffled back in my deck so you can go ahead so i first to start we got two of my leo de luca so i'm definitely mulligan gonna mulligan one of them i definitely want to keep one getting him out early i think is good being able to get extra actions as long as we don't just have to um discard him for any reason i'm going to keep the amulet because this is a huge huge part of my strategy on my deck so we're going to keep that um i'm going to discard and mulligan this leather coat we'll we don't really need that we're looking for some other stuff that's better and this one is a questionable i'm thinking about keeping it this is uh helps with my agility gives me to my skill and then if i'm successful in a skill test i can draw a card so i have some good pieces already if i keep that yeah like it makes me feel so much better yeah like i love when you have that card yeah same um so i'm thinking about keeping these three oh you mel kate would mulligan it okay okay then i'll mulligan that one yeah let the chat drive these two yeah yeah yeah feel free to chime in guys in those three and then that was my treasury so that it's just all gonna get put back in uh no not yet sorry one two three so we got oh this is good okay so we got an uh overpower which will just give me some combat which is good we got hard knocks i can use it to spend resources i can get extra combat or i can get an extra agility which is good i love this card so it's an event uh look what i found i can play it after i fail a test uh by two or less and i can discover two clues at my location so i feel like i have a pretty decent hand happening right now so i see some uh discussion going up in the chat there uh so we didn't really talk about it yet but my investigator we did talk about his ability but my guy is a guardian the blue class there's like five classes in the game like factions colors whatever every card game has the same thing you get like the color pie and then you divide up mechanics in specialties into each slice color of the pie with the blue class that i have and i also can pull in from the yellow class the seekers i have yellow cards in here to help me with clues but also in general i'm the fighter guy i'm the one who is gonna use weapons i'm gonna deal damage i'm gonna fight monsters is my thing uh hence my for combat value i don't really run from monsters i can't invade monsters that well my agility sucks but i'm good at fighting and i'm pretty decent at like the clue gathering and the dealing preventing horror the horrors of my weakness though cause like i'm low on willpower and my my hor my sanity or whatever's super low so that's like the one that scares me and i feel bad playing this character if this was manchester madness i would have not even touched this character i want a seven and seven like i want this yeah okay but we were just playing with the tutorial guys this is the only guy i've ever played so far i just want to keep it you know clean while we play this first on stream with less experimentation um but yeah that his deal is fighting and that's how he gets clues once per turn but i have cards in the deck like flashlight you saw to help with clue gathering but wendy her whole thing is uh she is uh all about evading monsters she's really good at agility she sucks at fighting uh and she's got the good uh willpower so she'll get less sanity hopefully hitting her a little less horror and she's okay at the clue hunting there but she has other abilities uh she has more cars that are related to clue gathering yeah but she's the evader i'm the fighter that's how we deal with our monsters but we both have some good clue gathering stuff but wendy i think has a little more clue gathering but you gotta take your roles and kind of play to your strengths and try to build your deck to cover your weaknesses but again we're only playing with two core sets we can only do so much i'm sure there's cards later we can help level out some of these guys or play different uh investigators from the guardian class for example that maybe do different things but uh but yeah mullen is one of the solid true soul investigators rob is he really oh well i guess because yeah cause he can't fight can you do anything yeah yeah yeah yeah that seems well-rounded okay yeah even to this day kate again i've never looked at any other investigator in the outside i haven't even looked at the other ones in the course that that closely i haven't at all uh we're still newbies but i would assume they made more solo focus ones later that's usually how this stuff works is ffg right they kind of fill it in wow okay i'm impressed so you guys are going to see roland on the channel more than i guess i didn't realize that okay cool all right uh okay i think we just have to read some story and get all into it sorry uh yeah so um read the scenario introduction in the campaign guide and then we'll perform the setup uh for the campaign and stuttering okay so this all i don't know all this stuff all right thank you can i yeah i guess you can use a washer you can read it actually let's see a vote in the chat if you can use the wallet i don't know but you can i'm just gonna you can read it no we'll be right back uh yeah yeah while i go because i've already heard it yeah i'll do a b right back just you can unplug your mic [Music] [Music] okay so now that i've switched all the negative tokens out of the bag and put all the good ones in uh you know you guys keep that between us don't tell mel all right um okay uh so we're reading some story actually we can do it on the screen [Music] the ghouls hunger friday september 18th 1925 arkham massachusetts it's the end of a long and abnormally hot summer the first hints of autumn beckon but a heavy heat persists relentless a silent unspoken anger grips the town tempers are short and in the last week alone there have been numerous reports of townspeople coming to heated violent blows with one another over simple misunderstandings and now a call from james hankerson he claims to have found a dismembered body in his barn oh poor james uh blaming the weather would be too easy there is something wrong with this town and not a whole lot this old soothsayer can do to stop the slide my uh okay mouse bagger and this is why i should have done this all right be right back [Music] whoops all right uh my auguries indicate a small group of investigators will soon take note of these strange happenings and set forth to make things right i'll be watching the progress but i won't be holding my breath all right so this is called the night of the zealot campaign uh that's a little intro on the front of this book uh i'm actually not going to bring this up i'm going to do it uh so you guys can't see it for spoiler reasons okay yeah because it does show like some of the outcomes and stuff like right on the page okay uh so yeah so yeah you guys can't see that look how tiny that is no way all right uh so yeah so we're supposed to read uh the gathering so we have a campaign log yes if you want to show that which you probably didn't write on yet did you nope was i supposed to oh i can fill it up so they give this campaign log you can print these out on ffg's website but they are on the back of this book you know like they couldn't give you a pad of those either come on man um but yeah they give you this on the back of the book like you're going to play this campaign one time and throw it away on there or i guess photocopy this like who's got a photocopier come on man but anyways i guess you could take a picture of your phone and cloud print and all that anyways but uh yeah so we have this paper uh that we're gonna fill out with our investigators you record your experience on here your trauma uh assets and weaknesses that you've added to your deck which campaigns you've done any investigators are killed any notes during the campaign that will matter in future uh future scenarios so we'll be recording stuff on the side on that just you guys know there is a campaign log to use uh which i'm all about all right part one the gathering you and your partners have been investigating the strange events taking place in your home city of arkham massachusetts massachusetts i can't say that word ever but i know i've heard it a thousand times but i can't say it anyways over the past few weeks several towns people have mysteriously gone missing recently their corpses turned up in the woods savaged and half-eaten the police and newspapers have stated that wild animals are responsible but you believe there's something else going on you are gathered together at the lead investigators home to discuss these bizarre events so we're at wendy's house hey we're at wendy's house we're discussing these weird events have been happening so it tells you to gather up a bunch of cards that you're going to build this deck with and these cards in your box okay so we've shuffled just wanted to give a little shuffle to this deck here uh we set aside this ghoul priest so there's this ghoul priest monster and lita chandler who is some kind of npc uh we're setting off to the side it tells us get those out of those decks of cards put them off to the sides and uh we found leta okay we have leta we can continue the stream all right um shuffle the remainder of the encounter cards make the deck okay we did that that's it that's it that's all all that's in this little book to get you started everything else is read it when we get to that point and yes wendy serving snacks i didn't know people were coming but um well yeah maybe it's not i guess not well doesn't have a clever response right there man i'm sorry no i don't i tried i tried but anyways all right uh so we're gonna read this is the like bad deck so on like you guys know marvel champions those who do uh or in in lord of the rings has it too right the whole uh what's it called or am i mixing that up but anyways the like the threat deck or whatever yeah it's like that so this is like the bad deck that will get counters on it once this one hits three counters you will advance it to the other side and read what's on the other side and go to the next one we don't want this deck to progress this is like the bad one okay this is agenda side okay bad side over here with encounter cards good side-ish there's not really good in this game there's no good in these these arkham horror games that i found but this is like the player one that you're trying to advance this is the act deck okay so we're racing against the game who's trying to advance this and we're trying to push hard and advance this okay in general you spend clue tokens uh to advance the good one which is two per investigator so it scales based on players but sometimes they might do different things like there might be different ways to advance these decks which is neat okay so we're going to read the agenda what's going on it's late at night you're hold up in your study researching the bloody disappearances that have been taking place in the region a few hours into your research you hear the sound of a strange chanting coming from your parlor down the hall at the same time you hear dirt churning as if some were digging beneath the floor and we're also trapped as you leap to investigate the door to your study vanishes before your eyes leaving behind only a solid wall you're trapped inside your study until you can find another way out so it just turned into an escape room game now so let's start looking for numbers on cards i'm just kidding all right so we're trapped uh we're in the study so locations have two sides they have a locked side which is the back has a little flavor on it and when you go to the location you flip it so we'll flip it in a sec but this one says uh you've been investigating the strange events occurring in arkham for several days now your desk is covered in newspaper articles police reports and witness accounts so because we're both starting in the study boom uh the door to your study has vanished okay so oh man look it's gone see ready oh it's like that on the other side too oh that's lame anyways the door is gone uh so this is like a connection point this goes nowhere so these circles on the bottom are like they'll have colored symbols icons and whatnot to lead you to other locations this is a shroud value this is what you have to test against with your intellect value to try to defeat or win sorry succeed at to get clue tokens we're gonna put two clue tokens per investigator on this location and these are like our little player cards that signal where we are they're like those mini size cards that ffg loves to use uh so the colored side shows that you know you have your turn this is where you are when you're done your turn you kind of flip it over so we can choose who goes in what order and when you're done you just flip it over to the black and white side to know you finish your turn boom all right so four clues on the study that's it so we know we want to advance this deck we just know that general that's how the game works so we need to get four clues there's four clues so we need to get four clues and on our turn uh as a free action on anyone's turn we can spend clues from either of us to total up spend them as a group to advance this uh and we want to do that hopefully we want to race before this gets like three doom counters on it which you'll get a doom counter on it each round so the game normally starts with what's called a mythos phase not sorry the game doesn't start with the rounds in general will start with what's called the mythos phase but you skip that for the first round um you got that uh so you skip that for the first round so we just go into the investigation phase which is like us taking our turns we decide who goes first you can choose anyone it can switch every time you play you'll always be the lead investigator for this session we can change it i think for the next campaign session because it's in the setup of a game to choose your lead investigator so assuming that happens each time you play a session of a campaign you can switch lead investigator because there are jumping in jump out mechanics so you can have investigators and sit out for a scenario if your buddy doesn't play and you can bring new investigators in so i think you can switch the lead investigator every time you sit down for a scenario yeah that makes sense so that's cool yeah yes all right uh so uh i think we're good to just go um is there any reason i don't think it really matters i don't think right now because there's like an old model yeah there's no monsters we're just collecting clues yeah like there's no one for you to like evade first or me to fight first or anything i see so my cards more on camera here um yeah it's just like a prep turn right yeah yeah yeah yeah you okay so like i think i think my opening turn and again we're talking open here we've got viewers watching we're just we're playing this little little loose and open uh i kind of feel like just getting these in play like i don't know if that's good but like i feel like it or do i save flashlights later when we have something that's a little more harder to get clues off of and i want to reduce the shroud but i feel like just reducing it to zero like you still can fail so yeah i don't know i feel like that's kind of a good start but uh that's what i'm gonna do so i'll go first yeah yep and then i'll just spend my five resources get some cards out of hand that may be important uh i like the 38 special uh better than the 45 i think yeah um but i gotta remember i have that weakness in my deck that could come up at any time and just like plow all the cards in my hand except for one so i kind of feel good having one of the guns in play if i'm gonna lose the other one so i'm putting four resource tokens on here let me do it over here on roland's 38 special so it has like four bullets uh then i need three supplies on flashlight so i guess it only has enough battery juice uh for three uses of turning on the flashlight so i didn't i didn't charge the batteries i guess enough in 1920 something yeah yes you know didn't use a battery charger obviously uh and yeah that's uh two actions and my third action so sorry the actions here i should just show this it's easier so i don't forget anything uh but they have this little reference card so the actions you can do on your turn you can do up to three you can do as many of a single one as you want or you know two of one one of the other three different you could draw a card or gain a resource that's one action you can play an asset from your hand which i just did twice that's two of my actions you can activate a little arrow action ability on a card that means it costs something these reactions and squiggly lines here are free they don't cause actions but if the action starts with this it's a paid action okay you can move to a connecting location doesn't exist right now you can investigate your location that's trying to get a clue off of it doing a intellect test you can fight or engage an enemy so engage is basically taking an enemy and putting it in front of you in your threat area to deal with it but you can fight enemies anywhere at your location even if you're engaged with other players and you can attempt to evade which is doing an agility test to try to disengage yourself from the monster so you can run in this game monsters do follow you uh so if you have a monster engaged with you and you move to different locations those monsters stay engaged with you so you have to evade them trip them up they exhaust and then you can run away from them which is super thematic i like that uh but yeah that's what we're doing on our investigation phase right now uh so what i can do i can do an investigate test i'm gonna spend uh one i'm gonna do this action here spend one supply for my flashlight and so my intellect is three i've reduced it this shroud value to zero so i'm literally plus three right now that seems okay i feel like i'm gonna go with that there is something that we learned about this game that was given to us like a tip was the uh plus two rule is kind of like a general rule i don't think it was in the rule book or anything but uh it is something that's like common with this game you're trying to get at least two above your test at standard difficulty yeah i could draw a minus four i could i could hold the red one yeah you could still fail but in general they say like if you're not don't want to waste resources like kind of make sure you're like at least two above what you're trying to achieve yeah generally plus two is good for now yeah it's like a new player kind of like general tip to get started with the game so obviously obviously that changes throughout the scenarios and stuff uh i got a big fat zero nice so i'm three to zero that's a good start obviously i succeeded and the token goes right back in the bag you don't draw it out don't create a discard pile don't throw anything out um yeah it it is oh yeah that's true yeah unless you draw the ten no there we have a minus three is n minus fours in the bag right oh well minus four as well yeah one more word what fail do you get but that's the only thing right now yeah so just two of them or the skull if i were to have like a ton of ghouls in play but obviously that's not the situation right now yeah so there are ways even if you're like you know you've thrown down a ton of cards you can auto fail and stuff so i succeeded so i will take a clue off the location and just throw it on my investigator card that's my three actions i will flip over my little card and he'll go noir skill can't drop below zero oh true yeah yeah sorry i would tie at zero you're right yeah tesla you're right i should have realized that yeah i don't even think about that yeah it doesn't go negative it doesn't go negative you're right yeah that's good to think about yeah yeah minus three would have been a pass i figured that when i was saying it but uh yeah so it's only the red right that would fail me yeah well that's good to know okay so here's what i'm kind of thinking i want to get leo into play as soon as possible getting the extra actions right off the bat is going to be huge so i would need to gain one more resource i also want to get wendy's amulet into play quickly as well um but i think i'm going to do my first action to gain a resource put me to six my second action i will play leo four six two which is all of my resources so he gives me an additional action so i still have one plus my additional action so part of me is tempted to just take two resources to prep for putting out wendy's amulet on the next turn or i would take one and draw a card i could also take one resource and attempt and investigate um yeah maybe i will take one so i'll use my third action for resource that's a ballsy place early says bob yeah cause remember there's cards that could come out and make you discard an asset from play so you gotta be careful with putting out a six cost asset right right away yeah i know oh yeah but i like to take chances i don't know if in this scenario there's the ones that discard assets from play i don't remember if it's like from me yeah yeah i've had to have more in my hands yeah when you put that big expensive gun down you're like yeah i'm ready and then boom yeah you still have ammo on it it's gone i like lost my mind yeah which these games tend to do which is this does a good job of frustrating it does make you crazy um definitely yeah definitely investigate okay so that yeah because i would get my second resource uh later in the turn so i will do an investigate action so i have three on uh i have a three intellect versus two how many cards you wanna play to that uh i have cards but i don't wanna play it to that uh i'll pass on that too oh i drew minus four so um here's where decisions come in um you can rev uh sorry when you reveal a chaos token choose and discard a card from your hand cancel the chaos token and re reveal it add this one back to the bag and reveal a new one but i don't think that's worth it for this situation especially if you have good cards you're trying to save for something good like yeah yeah like you're not being the only thing you're being punished with is losing an action there's no like negative punishment on this skill check right yeah no there's not so for this case i will not do that and answer saying don't play scared fortune favors the ball exactly exactly i don't play scared you're right i don't uh and then i'll i'll be laughing or not laughing when i have to discard him but that's okay okay so that's my turn all right so now we're gonna move on to the enemies uh there are no enemies in place so they will not be there's hunter enemies that chase you down there's enemies that will fight you if they're engaged with you uh but we skip that right now because there's no enemies in play then we'll move on to i forget what it's called but it's like resetting and all that upkeep phase i should have known that uh so we'll reset so we flip our little dudes back over uh we ready up any exhausted cards or none in play we'll draw a card and if it was a weakness you'd have to deal with that and then you get a resource each i have one resource and i drew deduction for those keeping track this one's helped me out with uh getting additional clues that would have been nice to have that uh but this can be played i could play a card like this to a test for you and could get you an extra clue off of the card yeah and i just drew guts which just gives me a little extra willpower and a willpower test oh you're gonna need guts if you're gonna play bold exactly exactly so that was perfect timing okay so then we'll move on to the mythos phase where we will add one doom to the uh oh yeah we also check our hand in the end of the oh yeah sorry if we have more than eight cards you have to discard down to eight for those that are unfamiliar with that that's that's when you check your card limit then we wrap around to a new round it starts off with the mythos phase like i described before uh so we slap a doom counter on here then you do a check those doom counters in play so even on other cards so if there's doom counters on enemies or locations or whatever uh you'd add them all up compare them to this value and then you would advance it and generally this is the only time usually advanced but there are other cards that can mess with that um so obviously we're not advancing okay so then we'll draw an encounter card in lead investigator return order so i got obscuring fog which is a hazard revelation attached to your location limit once per location attached location gets plus two shroud after attached location is successfully investigated to start obscuring fog sorry [Laughter] my asset is still safe and i draw a swarm of rats that have uh one if i'm going to combat test them three if i'm going to agility test to evade them i only have one health they are hunters so they will follow the closest hero kind of when they move and they deal one damage when they attack no sanity loss and that'll be in my threat area c4 says love this game i do too no comment i'm trying to tell myself i don't love it so i don't spend a thousand dollars plus trying to collect everything from it instantly i'm trying to like trick myself so i'll leave it up to you guys the more you guys watch the more you guys share the more you guys like it and all that kind of stuff if there's an audience for it on the channel i'll spend the form i'll spend the funds but i'm trying to tell myself i don't love it but you guys if you guys know my history like i love freaking all these lcg card games yeah competitive and co-op love them all yeah but uh yeah all right it's gonna be a toss up though to decide which ones which one we like better versus this one and lord of the rings right yeah i'm a little biased with the lord of the rings theme so i just love seeing those characters from there i i have a more of attachment to the theme and the characters in that uh but the mechanics yeah the mechanics of like exhausting guys to to commit them to quests feels a little lame still that annoys me that mechanic i just never really i don't know it's like a weird choice like i want to you know exhaust this guy for the rest of the turn because i'm trying to commit points to like advance the story and like not use the guy yeah just that feels like feels bad man yeah um but i do like the mechanics of this one a little better i think i feel like this theme is growing on you yeah oh definitely yeah definitely i always like to get into the theme of the games that play yeah for sure rat snacks yes yep all right back to investigator turn we choose who is gonna go first are you interested in going first and dealing with the rats in your location that would help me get a token off here because if not all but this says uh after attach location is successfully investigated right i don't think discovering a clue is the same thing as successfully investigating no i feel like successfully investigating is doing the like an intellect test actually doing an investigate action i agree do you think it's worth using a flashlight on an investigate yeah that's what i'm saying i think i'd be the one to do it yeah because i think then you go first um and i have a monster to get one off i could then test hopefully succeed and get the other one off and then this would go away and then i would like my plan that's my plan yeah discover does not equal yes yeah i know from playing enough board games aka ffg products is like yeah it's very very specific wording usually okay i need to kill the rats first anyway uh i do for my turn if i were to do any other action other than attacking or evading these guys or a resign but we don't have a way to resign but it's a way to kind of like quit the scenario um or parlay which i think that comes up in this one i think but uh it's another action we don't have access to right now um but if i started like investigating first this enemy would do an attack of opportunity and automatically deal damage me but he's engaged with me so mel uh could technically go and do things at this location because she's not engaged with the enemy so we technically do not need to kill them first um and i do have nine health and full health so technically this guy only hits for one i don't have to i know people i know you're referring to i'm just trying to be very clear for those watching so they understand i'm trying to for these first few turns of the game really describe it out because there are quite a few people here i was surprised that have not played this game um so i am trying to talk the new player but again like good point for bringing that up i do appreciate it i always look at it too if someone's engaged with an enemy i like them to go first and see what happens because then the other person can potentially help yeah like mel could use an evada or um she could invade or fight this guy even though he's engaged with me uh because we're at the same location she can interact with stuff in my threat area which is neat um but if she had to do something with an engaged enemy she could actually spend an action to engage this enemy to take it away from me if i needed to be freed up to do something else so there's like little plays like that you can do which is neat but we don't always action strat so i'll go first um and i'll just fight this guy to show a combat he's only a one fight i have a four to start i don't want to waste bullets on my gun no i wouldn't uh because shooting little rats running around the ground is kind of hard to do uh so i'd rather just punch them or or squish them with my hand i guess that's what i'm doing step on them step one yeah or bang them with the flashlight is that i don't need to use the battery to do that right is it broom or something so i'm just going to do a standard fight which i have four on my my card base i'm not going to play any other cards don't use flashlight you need flashlight later i definitely need a flashlight i think i might have two in the deck though i have i have as well you have them yeah i don't remember how many i have i think about it too maybe i don't yeah i do i do and do i have two as well no i don't know um yes yeah okay so we have four total yeah yeah so if i lose one i'll lose one but yeah i don't want to be sitting here wasting multiple turns trying to investigate this place at least once to get the the attachment off yeah if we didn't get that attachment i wouldn't be wasting flashlight all the time all right oh no it's the coldest which says minus one if you fail take one horror well i didn't fail so i have four minus one is three uh and i am i just needed a one so boom i beat the rats up they go to the discard pile i trigger my reaction ability here after you defeat an enemy discover one clue at my location okay so we have two uh okay so the next uh this thing is plus two shroud so it's a four i only have a three will power to start uh oh actually so i could use flashlight to start and investigate which reduces this by two so we're now down to two okay i'm using a flashlight just because it's obscuring fog uh and now i choose whether i wanna play cards i think mel can see what cards i play first before she decides whether she wants to put in a card but i'm gonna add one to that with this deduction and the cool part is uh i mean i don't know what else you're gonna do on your turn i guess you could just draw cards and get resources and stuff but this if i succeed which i may not uh i could discover an additional clue at the location so i could grab these two and we could start plowing through this a little fast here yeah because that would be the only one i wanted to succeed because i've now committed uh some of my battery juice yeah yeah i have now committed a card uh and i don't want you to start bumping your head against obscuring fog having trouble uh investigating it i may let me think uh i am at what i say three four i'm at four against two which is generate plus two is fine yeah maybe i just go with that i mean i'll leave it up to you if you want to play a card you can so here's where the dilemmas of my deck come in i do have i do have one that i could put in that gives me gives you an additional two this card would go to my discard but i am planning on putting out wendy's amulet and just for anybody that doesn't know what her amulet does is it lets me play cards out of my discard pile events at your desk event sorry yeah so you may play the top most event out of your discard pile as if it was in your hand and then after i play an event i put on the bottom of my deck so you can't um so i could give this one to you and then play it out of my discard pile once i've put this into play but it has that whole discover extra clues right it's like so powerful i don't know yeah we are plus two i feel like it's okay i feel like it's okay as well but we might fail but it's not that bad but it's annoying but that would be the worst case yeah because that would or the other thing would be as i hold this on my turn and i try and then i fail potentially and that's up to you if you want to put it in now is it now now or never no oh you may regret that then i should remember i can't see your hand i don't know remember i'm gonna i'm gonna let you make the decisions or chat can chime in but like i'm not gonna say yes or no it's not my card it's on my hand i got i'm not supposed to really know what's in the hand but okay i'm gonna put it in jim's here how many thousands does this game cost tim start with a core set we don't know it's maybe see if you even like it but even that's like you know 60 70 100 bucks uh but yes the game costs thousands of dollars trying to buy all the cards that exist and they're not stopping anytime soon supposedly so yeah yeah yeah it's an expensive little proposition if you get hooked yeah okay warning i am gonna put it in because i can play this card out of my discard pile all right so now we have three four five six yep okay yeah and then you have oh the text is nothing oh yeah it's nothing on this it's an event it's not a skill not a skill okay so you said six oh plus one we did not need plus one plus one all right that's okay so overkill so this is the it happens it happens okay so i uh the skill test was successful so i i the order there's a specific order for all this but either way the results are this is gone uh i get a clue and then because of deduction i get an additional clue okay and this is in my discard pile i'm putting my discard pile up here so that doesn't mix with any of the cards that are down here just for anybody just watching as well as we can see what the top event is oh yeah that kind of matters for you yeah yeah make it buried all right remember you can't change order your discord pile ever unless a game thing tells you to do it games again some games again all right uh so my third action hmm gonna let you make the decision that'll be the first well bob my back's kind of sore today so i don't want to sleep on the couch so some days like i kind of have to play nice and and you know avoid the couch uh i want to sleep in my bed tonight so that was a tough choice i didn't know what to do i we didn't even but that's part of the hook of this i know that hard to look at this game yeah yeah if i couldn't play the card out of my discard pile if i didn't have the amulet in my hand then i wouldn't even took the chance so as i see i see cohen's mentioning there uh and hello cohen by the way um he's been here yeah but i didn't notice because there's so much oh yeah watching lots of chats happening sorry considering usual i know there's a passionate crowd for this game i can tell already you guys are really into even the ones that don't know this game i see you're getting right into it sorry i was back at sora every day buddy every day carrying you yes yes hey i'm the fighter this time right we'll see about that no you are you are for sure yeah but i'll be i'll be begging for you to like exhaust enemies though like help me please help me i can't deal with this guy exhausted oh gosh well i go over here and get treasure [Laughter] okay let me collect all the clues yeah yeah okay uh sorry you were saying something wrong cohen yes hello and um oh i forget against the act is a free action yes we'll do it now right because we don't need to pay for there's no nothing on here to tell us we just need two clue tokens per player yep so i'll spend all four off mine if mel had some she could put hers in two and whatever uh we could decide where they come from but we spend them as a group so uh i will advance the act so you flip this over and there's a bunch of story text and some game stuff so it says the door on the floor so this is act 1b you notice the edges of your newly purchased rug are tattered and mud stained finding this odd you ship the furniture aside to pull back the rug to your surprise you see the door leading out of your study you slowly turn the knob and the door swings open revealing your hallway below you jump through the doorway landing on your feet or landing on your feet on soft dirt the door on the study slam shut above you the smell of burning wood fills the narrow hall uh intermingled with the scent of rot and decay put into play the set aside hallway seller addict and parlor forgot to mention before uh i did it already but there are four other locations they also had to set aside besides the uh the npc and the the ghoul priest um so we are set putting the hallway uh where was it right here uh hallway seller addict and parlor discard each enemy in the study there are none so okay we win no place each investigator in the hallway and then remove the study from the game okay why does it say remove the study first uh so the hallway's in play so it's on the locks all these are on the lock side so the attic let's put that above that makes sense right hallway attic seller down below okay right and the parlor let's just throw that over here somewhere yeah looks good i don't know this is how we played with it before i don't know how to do it but uh and certain locations so they're on the lock side like i said uh so we don't know the shroud value and the amount of tokens you can read the little text on them so this is the parlor the entrance to the parlor is blocked by a dark glowing unfathomable barrier uh you cannot move into the parlor it says you are unsure what would happen if you tried to cross the threshold of the strange barrier but based on its extreme heat you sure as hell don't want to try uh and you can see here how they connect so this has a green diamond up here and then a red square so to get to this place you have to leave locations for example the hallway is connected to that place via this dot and then i know from the parlor i go to the red square place here which is the hallway this is how this game kind of connects locations and i did see there's tokens people have little dual sided arrow acrylic pieces to kind of connect everything and i know it gets more complicated in future scenarios and then you see here the addict uh is a blue or the attic sorry is a blue triangle and it goes back to the hallway the cellar is a plus burgundy plus here and it goes back to the hallway and obviously the hallway connects to those two right here but the parlor obviously doesn't connect to the cellar or the attic so it's like you kind of can see how the hallway is like the central connection to all these locations kate says she uses toothpicks that yeah i thought of doing pictures i saw a clever one i saw a clever one on a video i was watching uh that came up in my feet after of course i was searching arkham horror and youtube like then starts pummeling me with our comfort videos but i saw one that a guy puts a white sheet of paper underneath oh and just literally takes a marker and just draws lines so he puts like a eight and a half by eleven paper kind of under you know under the locations and then just draws and that was very clever it doesn't look as pretty on stream so that's why i'm not doing it but i think for gameplay-wise if i'm not playing on camera i'm going to do that paper uh i'll do the white paper and just draw on it i think it's a cool quick and dirty way to do it yeah bernardo's here greetings from beside a burning house wondering if it was worth it yes you know what that means i know what that means i think we know what that means yet yep uh but yeah that's cool yeah there's lots of different um oh tezra says my group uses the roads from catan as a location markers oh uh that's a good idea that's a good idea yeah there's lots of different things that people have used pork boards and string oh that would be super thematic yeah like a little pins like push pins yeah yeah wow oh man okay okay that's cool we got some creative ideas then okay uh so that was the setup on the door on the floor okay so we got it this gets removed this goes to someone like a little discard a remove from the game now we read the next act the barrier a a glowing barrier blocks the path to your parlor as you move toward it intense heat forces you to back away picking up a handful of dirt you toss it at the barrier to watch in horror as the dirt incinerates perhaps there's something in the seller or addict that can help attic attic so something in the attic or the seller that can help so there's the story's telling us go there uh oh look uh this has an objective so to advance this one it wants three clues per investigator it says when the round ends investigators in the hallway may as a group spend the required requisite number of clues to advance so we need to i think both be in the hallway if we're both spending clues from ourselves yep uh to advance so at the end of the end of a round so we can't can't do it as like a uh free action in the middle of our turn like i just did we have to wait till the end of a full round so that's that's interesting uh so the attic has text on it saying the smell of rotten meat assaults your naturals nostrils as you approach the attic stairs uh the hallway the hallway says a moment of panic and disorientation strikes as you land upon the floor of the hallway the world spins as if turned on its head like of course there's cool art in this game to really get you into it i love the graphic design the color of this game it's like fits the theme perfect very muted old kind of feel um but very clean design i like that a lot it's not you know like very poppy and colorful like the art is very much the central focus of the card i really like that a lot uh the cellar uh the stairs leading down to your cellar are slick and they glisten with a thin layer of ice oh does macaulay culkin live here just like a home alone he ice the stairs and uh you know to stop people from sneaking in the cellar all right [Music] uh drew's popping in here saying so you're so happy you're playing this hope to see so much more drew like i said earlier in the stream it's up to you guys if you guys are share the video spread the love we're getting the views on this and people are interested hit that like button if this is getting an audience on the channel that will drive my hunting down expansions and continuing this on the channel similar to how we usually value other games and stuff too but uh kind of a little special because lcg i've i've dove down the rabbit hole many times before i've been trying to avoid doing it for this game but you guys kept asking and asking here we are i do love it i do want to play more of it don't get me wrong but there's just so many other games so yeah if you guys are watching and you're liking it we'll keep going with it and we'll have fun you guys can play along with us live every single one and some of them will not play most of them beyond this we've played this only once we haven't seen all the outcomes but the other campaigns will play like like live on stream first time and have like some surprises and yeah we won't know what's going on we'll see some surprises still i know for sure because we didn't see everything i bet so uh yeah it should be fun and we took we might take different choices this time based on what you guys pick yeah so people in the chat are saying they want to see more so hit that like button let us know that you want to see more that definitely helps if you guys know if you guys know any arkham horror groups or anything you share these videos in that would help out for those fans to find us i try not to do that and be spammy and like harass the the fan groups too much i try to like you know once every now and then drop a video in and self promotion is usually yeah i don't want to be one of those guys that goes in like self promotes every day and that's all my contribution to the group i'm more of a lurker i love reading stuff commenting hitting likes when i can but uh if you guys share our videos that's like okay if you if you want to if you feel like it's something again i i also don't feel very confident we're playing like the core set like five years late yeah yeah so in arkham horror lcg hardcore group i know there's lots of new players flooding into those groups every day during this this kobe pandemic but there's a lot of hardcore players that maybe don't really care about seeing someone play through the first scenario so uh yeah which we understand which we totally get uh but thank you everyone for supporting the channel helping the videos out and stuff uh okay so not on the cutting edge rob and mel yes exactly exactly we're not we're not we'll get there though you'll be surprised we'll get there yeah that's what i think but we'll see okay so we are in the hallway so we are allowed to flip this card right oh yes yes yes so automatically flip it when we arrive at a location but we start here so the game kind of put us there so it's a one shroud value but no clues are on it no so if a clue ever was removed from me or you and put on the location which sometimes the game will do to you uh you still can do a test to get a clue off of here it says the walls to your house are splattered with mud and your hardwood floor is gone replaced with a dirt path okay okay okay okay all right i think you still have one more action i do have one more action yes uh i might as well move to kind of see somewhere else um [Music] i think i'm gonna go to the cellar we know i can't get in the parlor out of the attic or the seller i think i'm gonna go to the seller i can't remember i can't remember the values but uh i'll go to the seller i feel like there's like monsters here or something but maybe that was just our playthrough again i'm trying not to spoil things um but yeah i'm going off a little bit of memory here but it's been a bit all right seller uh i go here this flips so it's oh for shroud but better for you though if i'm fighting so two clues per investigator on here and it says forest after you enter the seller take a damage oh and it says your cellar seems to have been replaced with an underground network of icy tunnels and caverns the cold chills you to the core so it's like you slid down the stairs and i brought my trench coat so i'm warm so it's a good thing i came this way although i'm feeling a little draft under my trench coat uh it's a little cold so the air is like rising from the floor and feels a little cold uh you know but anyways uh your seller see uh sorry uh i want to show the victory point uh it's got a victory point on here so how this works is the victory points lead to experience so anything with a victory point if there's an enemy that has a victory point we defeat it it goes to a victory display it doesn't go to the discard pile uh if we clear all the clues off a location and it's empty at the end of the scenario you will add these to the victory display so we add up all the victory points we earn and that gets you experience which helps you buy new cards for your deck and level up or you can save it for future chances to level up uh so there's motivation for just not getting clues off this one to progress this there's also motivation to get the clues off of it to get victory points to help us in the next scenario by improving our deck which i i freaking i love that it's amazing i freaking love that stuff in games yeah as you guys know but uh it makes you want to clear this even though you don't need to sometimes there's things happening where like you can't waste the time so you've got to just like screw it it's not worth the victory point and you got to value that right but uh okay so i'm just there that's my actions and i am done go away ah dan i knew you'd comment i was definitely definitely looking for you i wonder why he says is there a draft in here or are you just happy to see me oh okay get all the victory points yes that's that's the that's the goal okay so i think first action we are going to play wendy's amulet so again um that's two resources i may play the topmost event for my discard pile as if it was in my hand and then force after you play an event place it in the bottom of your deck instead of your discard pile okay now i'm tempted to move into the attic to see what is there um is there any reason why you'd want to come and hang out with me i could help you with tests i mean that's that's a strategy for sure um the one damage is not gonna hurt me like we could see we could get more information and find out what's up there and if i need to come and help uh or you know that kind of thing so like we would see more info probably a good idea to split and like both be working on two different things that's the thing like if she splits that means she can't help me uh with monsters that i have to deal with at my location she can't help commit cards to my tests and stuff yeah and i can't help her out yeah so this is some of the things that come up in the game of like you know orbit scenes stick together together but then the other issue is and i look from an action uh you know economy kind of perspective i already moved down here cost me an action so if you were to come down here and then we'd have to go to the attic it's going to cost you two more to get to the attic because it it might be a waste and we need to get three per investigator there's only four here yeah so we have to go we need more clues that's why i would argue to go search somewhere else i mean they might be in the parlor but we can't get in the parlor right now yeah it's telling us to go to the attic and or the seller to get into the parlor so yeah i don't know bob says there's time to split up this ain't it yeah okay i think i'm thinking of moving for action two uh yeah tara theme is always better when the team splits lol exactly exactly what happens in every horror movie when they split up yeah that is true i know and i'm terrible at fightings but i can invade them and run if i need to unless i find a baseball bat or something in my deck your first action is to move you didn't want to do anything before moving my second action yeah i played the ambulance no no i'm fine because i still have technically two more actions so okay so if there's something that pops out or whatever you could do an action to evade or whatever okay yep i'll be right back all right okay so force after you enter the attic take one horror it has one shroud value and two clues per investigator so i'll take one horror when i enter okay and four clues and it only has a one i can handle this i can get some super low shroud yeah i can do this i just need some enemies at my location to start fighting right yeah cause then you can get them without having to otherwise i only want flashlight use left i need to find some other cards okay that was action two action three i will attempt to investigate so i have a three intellect versus one yeah i will get all the enemies that's the problem okay it's like or i'm gonna draw that icy fog or obscuring fog thing to go on this card to add plus shroud to a team yeah yeah it's like going to get worse like yes look what do you do though like you don't know and you got the minus one if you fail take a okay so i was three so now i'm two two to one i got it boom take a clue now luca gives me one additional action during my turn so i will do that again for my fourth action what's up okay so again we're saying we don't get all four of these in a couple turns i don't only need to get two off here or we need to get two off there to advance this minus one again got it still good amos last words i can handle this says bob this is arkham horn okay and then that is yeah i definitely get manchester madness vibes playing this like it's definitely that mythical theme ffg yeah it's huge arkham horror like but all the same kind of things happen like you have that same feeling and same story you know and stuff to it uh i definitely get that vibe of playing this game so i know like if bad things can happen they're going to happen uh kngs hey kg i'll say i'm not sure if you mentioned already but there is a really great app for tracking campaign cards directly links to arkham db yes i have it arkham cards app for android i i downloaded it yesterday i meant to talk about it at the start of the stream to show that off to people as a thing thank you for watching i'm going to do that in the next one uh we're not going to use it through this play but it is really cool i was going to show you actually last night because we were um it connects to arkham db and actually pulls data uh a huge thing on rmdb in any db site for lcg games super powerful feature and i want to show this so commercial break here uh if you have a card and we're not sure how let's say let's say flashlight where was it flashlight okay i love this about these db sites people will put faq entry stuff on here or questions that come up in forums and that kind of thing so if i i have flashlight i click on it okay i go to the card page okay this is this is in the web app okay there's a different developer doing what's called the arkham cards app and we saw this for key forge and stuff where people make apps that pull from the api of the web app that these guys are doing so you go down here and boom i love seeing this info of like faq if you reduce the shroud to zero investigating this location will be successful even if you reveal a minus eight so here's what we're talking about earlier right yeah yeah so if i would have clicked on this earlier i would have known this i love reading this stuff when i'm not playing the game and i'm like building a deck we're net to neck and i'm like why is this card in there i don't know how it works you can go in here super valuable for people learning a game if you're curious about a card the community is super awesome at putting all the weird situations in this faq entry it's maybe not the best example but here's one but you'll sometimes see there's like five or six entries describing all these weird situations weird interactions things have been answered by the developers are all in here in the arkham cards app which i know is in the google play store i don't know about ios i have it on my android phone um but you can do the same thing in there it pulls all this info so you can literally be on the can browsing the card database building decks reviewing your decks changing your decks i think um and you can store all your campaign info but you can read this kind of data about cards uh well you're not playing a game or you're sitting in front of the tv you know your wife's got a crappy show on you don't care about you can sit there and on your tablet or whatever you know or bring up your laptop and you can browse through this stuff uh but yes thank you kanji for reminding us of that but it's called arkham cards arkham cards um and it has campaign stuff the developer's actually adding a feature so you can have campaigns where people can uh save their decks to the campaigns and can see each other's decks and whatnot um so you can play like remotely and like manage decks and that kind of thing uh he's like adding this kind of feature to like have a back end to it uh to connect like multiple people playing the same campaign or something uh i was reading that on reddit the other day i think it's super cool uh yeah so arkham cards i don't want my phone near me to show it but uh i don't have it downloaded yeah no it's okay uh and cohen says it is on um ios as well it is okay perfect yeah that's great yeah i just i i saw somebody you mentioned online i saw and it was like oh i love when people do that kind of stuff for these games and i looked at it i just dabbled with it um ethos busters didn't know that about mythos if you support the mythos buster's people oh yes the audio narrative stuff yeah i saw that in the app yeah there's a feature in the app where you can turn on narrative but you got to like link to your mythos busters uh whoever they are uh a podcast or something i don't know when they read like through the stories yeah this campaign stuff uh we could have had this read out in the app you just go to it and you're in the campaign you just click like play or whatever oh my god and it will it will stream from their like feed i'm assuming they're like podcasts or mp3 files or whatever uh that they'll read it out but you have to like donate to their patreon to get access to that right but obviously they're doing the work yeah that's amazing i think that's super neat yeah i just didn't know for like i i'm i don't know for copyright and stuff i didn't want to try to dabble with that in a live stream but yeah yeah yeah we have to be careful through a podcast about arkham lcg i think i might already subscribe to that actually i'll have to check that out thank you drawn to the flame that one i think is an awesome podcast also about but mythos busters is that the one that's the guys from the cardboard of the rings are on uh from the from the lotr lcg i could be wrong i listen like their first episode i was like oh i recognize these guys i remember listening to that podcast for so long cardboard of the rings uh and yeah so it was the same kind of format which is very like not very the information is not you're not getting as much information in the time it's more like loose and fun okay but the drawn to the flame one it seems very focused and and good information like definitely like you know your your half hour you're getting some data like it's it's your it's good okay i'll check them out for sure there might be others i might be confusing that with uh yeah it used to be cardboard of the rings well i think it's just some of the people i know cover the rings like split off and there was like that great company and those guys didn't want to do the podcast of those guys and there's this whole mess and yeah yeah that's a great company i like that podcast too but anyways all right okay that is what we're doing we just finished i just finished my turn cool uh enemies no no reset all right ready any exhausted cards draw on a card oh i got another deduction like the timing on that draw oh yes i mean mel doesn't know what i have in my hand right i'm just kidding so i got a backstab which um i can turn my fight into my agility stat instead and it does plus two damage she's ready to stab that guy yeah she is ready yep i love that card for sure and then we need a resource all right uh i don't have eight i don't have more than eight cards in hand mythos phase drop a little doom token we do not have three in play yet we don't need to worry about that you draw a card lead investigator and see what you get i got myself a swarm of rats so they uh will automatically engage with ah dissonant voices ah get out of my head revelation put business voices into play in your threat area you cannot play assets or events whoa okay deduction's a skill though all right anyways what is the uh forest at the end of the round discard this network okay so for one round you can't okay whoo that's terrible yeah i've never seen i never saw that one before again this is what's cool we're playing the second time and i've already seen a few cards even in my own deck that i've never like read like i didn't draw them or use them or whatever yet so uh yeah there's replay here in the course head definitely that's terrible yeah yeah at least it goes away on its own we don't have to waste actions to get rid of it or anything not the worst card ever okay we believe in cake no no it's not the worst i'm reading it like i can still kind of do what i want yeah depending on your deck for sure situation i got assets down early that i can still use i'm good there uh events i don't have any in hand the only asset is a gun but i want to clear a flashlight first and that's it i could still play skills on tests so i'm good yeah you're good i'm good it's not not bad at all right now uh all right who's going first what are we doing oh disney voices is the narration project name for the mythos busters for this game oh that's cool brad says arkham horror how can i pass this off hey brad exactly hi brad i'm just kidding welcome welcome you didn't like what you were playing before yes bob can't wait for my impersonations of the different uh names like yo oh my god yeah i'm not looking forward to that it's very attractive i know [Laughter] no i'm talking about me trying to say it ah kids need bedtime all right all right i'll let that slide taking care of your children i guess takes priority over watching a stream all that definitely one of the few things that that's okay then all right okay uh should i just go i guess there's no one to fight i just have rats but i think i'm fine i have rats bring them to me i'm not gonna bring them to you that seems silly i think i can fight them a one-on-one battle they're very easy i know they should be fine i do have some stuff that can help myself but uh hopefully you don't get they just do one damage back not that bad they're just like an annoyance yeah if you moved you would take two damage attacks of opportunity right doing non flights to bring them over but then i could fight them and use them to get clues but that's okay no i will just fight them but do you want me to go first go ahead okay so first action we will fight the rats so i have a combat skill of one versus one but i will throw in an overpower which it gives me two additional combat um skill and i can um if this test is successful i can draw a card so i'm coming in with three three on one drew says i demand all character voices for midnight mass scenario two yes tomorrow night 7 30 p.m eastern set reminders playlist link is down in the video description you can set reminders for this next two nights we're back same time with the stream we're just gonna continue with it and we'll be able to get into it quicker i think right in the next two because we won't have to go through all the opening stuff okay so we're going three on two or three on one minus one so two on one i win i kill the rats okay and then um this test was successful so i get to draw a card is that kel drogo it looks like it it's got kel drogo on here yeah dothraki the leader of the dothraki here yeah like the call the call of the dothraki fighting some octopus it's a kraken he's fighting the crack in the gray joys yeah that's what i see there okay and that lets me draw a card which is just a little bit of perception oh that's helpful but not okay so that was action one action two we will go for a investigation test here so three on one minus one again i'm the winner i will pick one uh and then for action three i guess i will again try one more time pro tip number one this is the card game it's really good to draw more cards yeah that's that's a great cards in a card game no having more options in hand so so brad doesn't brad doesn't also know that your weakness is to discard all but one isn't it so yeah like i'm already stressed i'm gonna lose like a bunch of cards when i draw that random basic weakness yeah i'm not i'm yeah yeah i'm not happy yeah bob scott unless it's your character weakness exactly okay so oh yeah that's another bad one i was three on one oh bing bing um so this says i get plus zero if wendy's amulet doesn't play automatics is automatically succeed but i already would have succeeded with the plus zero so that is that one how many do we need here drawing lots of cards could be bad if you're drawing into your weaknesses if you've seen your weaknesses already and dealt with them draw a whole day it's all good but yeah kind of the anti-draw in this game it kills me yeah okay that was my three actions but leo lets me take an additional action which i will just use to move since there's nothing left for me in the attic that will be the end of my turn i have all four of my clues from the attic so when you have two more we can meet in the attic ooh you mean the hallway i mean the hallway can meet [Laughter] i'll meet you and you come down and help me maybe yeah i will it might be good actually we'll see what happens here but it is a victory so you might want to clear it i've cleared the victory of this one so yeah but i don't know if that's worth it we'll see we'll see yeah you're right um that was a nice term mel thank you bill okay so i'm gonna in the cellar i'm gonna start off with a uh flashlight for an investigate using the last use off of it um and let's investigate those minus two shrouds so we're at two here on the location i have three i am going to throw a deduction in there so we're up to four so i could get an additional clue from the location and i'm debating putting an unexpected courage in [Music] even though just make sure you yeah just as long as you don't get the but but like what am i doing with my other two actions maybe drawing cards maybe getting resources but uh i do have other actions i could use to just if i fail this to try to get tokens but then i still might not get them because i don't really have much else to help well your other option would be to not add the plus two so what are you sitting at here with the minus two from the flashlight and this card you're sitting at three four four on two four on two yes i mean is it not better to do a four on two and then save that to do another test but then i won't get two tokens so like if i'm gonna use this on another test why not just use it now because here you could if you win this one you'll get two tokens and then you'll do another test you'll get three tokens total but i look at it glass half full the more bad scenario as this bag can be dirty yeah if i fail this one by going too low i get nada to suction's gone then i play this maybe i win that one maybe i don't and i only get one token then i'm sitting there looking like an idiot when i could just get all of them right now and if i'm going to spend the two cars to do those two tests anyway i feel like putting them together although a red token of this bag would really hit me where it hurts and so like putting all your eggs in one basket wait you fought and searched twice you shouldn't be able to move oh no oh yeah yeah how dare you kanji how dare you how dare you disrespect leo deluca the louisiana lion who's an ally and a criminal who has the ability you may take an additional action during your turn how dare you can yep come on i paid six six resources for him first round he's a person too don't ignore him all right he's amazing yeah i'll probably draw the autofill here but this will make for a great moment on the stream that you guys will time stamp and share i'm sure to everybody as i build at the moment i'm building this up on purpose to show you yeah i never roll blanks here we go okay got you straight yep hey that runs all right here we go i'm putting it in yeah i see i play more loosely than you i think i would have played that as two separate but i don't know i'm kind of like i want to rush to see if we can push this faster we have to wait till the end of the round to do it yeah but no not if you this is your first action you can get to the hallway oh yeah true because you only need two all right here we go [Laughter] i spent a card to save to action aren't dramatic enough pulling another bag i've been there for like 10 minutes all right here we go boom so i get an additional clue so i get two off of here bang bang oops all right don't you get a draw card as well oh that one wasn't that one no no one per skill test uh okay um i think just wrong i think a draw if you draw and then you move we could do this because we'll have six has to be at the end of the turn rob says put he can maybe get more conclusive enemy spawns brad i know that i learned that like after a couple games of playing this guy started realizing like i want to be sitting at locations that have clues on them and high shroud right well no just clues on them and monsters doesn't matter no that's what i mean but you want to do it on a high one so you're not wasting yeah i guess actions yeah of course kate saying get xp all right so you're so you guys are saying don't move yet but i have to be in the hallway no yeah but they're saying don't do it yet do it next turn like this is already going to advance anyways this will advance before that advances that's yeah is there an advantage to doing that i don't know i don't think we've ever done it this fast if possible that's why i'm kind of like want to do it to try i don't even remember i think i know what happens on this one but this i don't remember no truce drew thank you so much drew with the super chat for fun thank you so much so happy you're playing lc so happy you're here watching yes thank you thank you for the support we appreciate it in a second [Music] it usually takes a second for those to come through thank you so much thank you oh anyways all right let me pop up thank you so much drew all right uh all right that's like a third a third of the next chap uh mythos pack we buy you just or uh you just help pay for the next deluxe box yeah i think that's the size thank you so much drew thank you they'll definitely feed the habit it'll feed the habit i mean purchasing product for this game is what i mean call it uh or the addiction uh feeding the addiction yeah all right i don't know like i kind of want to i mean it's totally up to you if you want to wait one more time i'll stay i i do want to get resources going i do want to play this gun i think 83 so far 50 oh wow wow we are 52 likes thank you everybody you guys are awesome thank you so much yeah all right um that's definitely good yeah i mean it's totally up to you because if i if you stay here on your next turn then i think i'm just thinking i'm gonna i'm gonna be at this location and what will happen is we'll draw the thing that makes these harder to get off here maybe i want an enemy would be fine uh but we both do we both have to be in the hallway to do this right if you want to put clues towards when the round ends investigators in the hallway may as a group spend the requisite number of clues to me yeah and because as investigators yeah i think we both have to be there right yeah that's what i would assume abandon is back yeah that's okay though it's all good that's okay the only thing i worry is what if i get trapped here and then it's hard for me to get to here and do that i can always come back i don't know i can't come and help you worst case i think what would happen is if you stay here we're going to waste actions for you to come down no no we deal with problems we go back up no what we would do is you finish your turn see what hap like however you want see what happens with the encounter deck you'll then go first and then we'll go from there if you don't collect everything you don't get everything you need then i'll come down and help you potentially or i'll just spend my four actions to build myself up get some resources draw some cards and wait one more turn it's either way it's not bad um all waits oh i see i know the chat wants me to stay i'm going to stay all right against my face you still have yeah i know i'm going to draw a card and get a resource i don't know which order i should do those in because it does matter sometimes i don't yeah depending on your weaknesses i'll draw one oh another flashlight look at this man my deck is timing my deck is being very nice to me today this isn't normal this doesn't seem normal but it's being very nice uh and then i'll take a resource for my third action done [Music] should i just play the flashlight instead yeah in case you yeah yeah where i want a dual wield i i i want to do it but i'm okay not i'm actually instead for the third action just gonna spend my resources i'll discard the other flashlight to free up a hand uh to play another flashlight with three uses just in case i draw into that card that makes me discard all but one card in hand i don't i don't want to lose the gun i don't think i'm not sure if i need it in this scenario just remember like weapons are good and i'll use up bullets and i do not have the ammo cards in my deck right now that help get you additional ammo for the guns so when i see my second like gun i i'm kind of like i want it there once i start fighting real enemies we haven't really got more than rats yet which is weird yeah just two racks i feel like i'm usually using up these pretty quick but we haven't really had that many turns right we've only i don't know it's only drawn yeah yeah we'll we'll pick up the pace i'll get you now all right no no no no no no no no no no no no that's not something i'm just kidding okay so uh at the end of the round let's get started okay so i'll i'll just end my turn here yeah what i'm meaning is that there's a lot of bad stuff still oh definitely uh no enemies nope okay reset um draw okay no weakness yet for me i got this evidence fast play after you defeat an enemy discover a clue at your location oh you need to draw an enemy oh this is good oh that goes in the round so we're not there yet and then i'll gain a resource and i got another backstab so again i can turn an attack into an agility instead of a combat skill test so jim's asking how long has to play through this game uh in our experience not playing on a stream to an audience describing everything we're doing uh we were ripping out games of this in like an hour two talks yeah when we were first learning less than two hours literally the last like two episodes of the campaign when we already like knew how the game worked we like read the rules a few times and everything uh and the faq and the rules reference guide and stuff i like read most of that stuff i don't digest it all the first few times but i try to read it all but man we flew through those last couple ones like like it did not take long at all yeah especially once you know your deck you know like one or two hours for two players is how i feel it was yes on stream with all the overhead yeah which i love to do don't get me wrong but do not judge our stream time based on how long a game takes and also don't judge what the company puts on the box that's also the lie that's the other way it's a lie our play time is the the other the other direction to lie it's so somewhere in the middle yeah so yeah board game geeks are best that but an hour to two hours two players yeah yeah and a lot of people are agreeing that but yeah yeah that's why we're doing this on a weeknight we knew this first episode we're explaining a lot more getting everyone into it there are new people here who don't know this game so we're explaining things a bit more kind of showing the clever like decisions during a game and stuff yeah um but tomorrow night i'm assuming we'll get into it a lot quicker yeah yeah i think and we'll just kind of go with it same with the third uh act of the campaign also and as we play the series we'll get more into it less new player friendly we'll just direct everyone to go start at the beginning of the series you'll see us explain more stuff there more new player friendly also i forgot to mention there is a link down in the video description a how to play from fantasy play games like 20 something minutes i should have said that at the start of the damn video i'm so sorry but uh for anyone who finds this video later uh that's where there's good rules and if you're not sure right now you're watching you're confused uh go watch that and come back uh or re-watch this later after going watching the how to play video if i'm we're not doing a good enough job uh okay okay uh and i would want to check in the hand five five i only have three yeah okay end of the round this goes away uh there's something else end of the round uh we're not doing it oh yeah that's right we're not doing that yeah okay add another token so these will clear all the dooms go out of play uh we flip over the agenda so the bad ones advancing and a lapse in time your house continues to change before your eyes the walls have decayed and the ground in many rooms has turned to dirt it is almost as if you've been transported somewhere else entirely although every now and again you recognize elements of your former home the lead investigator must decide choose one first choice is either each investigator discards one card at random from his or her hand or the lead investigator takes to horror um that's your choice it's mel's choice as a lead investigator so she wouldn't know what's in my hand normally so i'm not even going to show but i would know how many cards you have i have three i i don't care you choose whatever you want i have three cards you have five cards uh you could choose based on the state of the game like would it be that big of a deal or are you taking two horror like what's what's the you know the option you'd want to go with what's the less of two evils i'm going to take two horror you are mel's taking one for the team so i already have one so we'll just go to three i think i have seven total yeah it says raw's gaming two we need rgt universe merchandise i know oh something i've been asked about before making merchandise oh there it is that was very delayed yeah thank you drew again thanks again for the pledge we appreciate it thank you thank you thanks for the super chat says it's a pledge there i don't know these alerts man um but yeah kate it's definitely something that we are thinking about of how yeah um yeah all right um okay um we did uh these cards you drawn oh kate said drew's in the discord too so it might have been separate two separates oh oh things are nice oh yes that wasn't the super chat hold on oh but it was maybe hold on what's going on here i'm just out of curiosity yeah drew five in super chat yeah i made it hold on let me check uh like i'm not seeing anything on my thing yeah this is super annoying yeah something's not working no that's okay we'll continue on well awesome awesome thank you okay oh my gosh i found more rats oh did we finish oh yeah i did that decision oh we have to read we have to read this one oh yes sorry sorry thank you and thank you for the kind words graham i appreciate it i love your comment earlier too oh yeah i i liked it earlier today it was like you're you know you're and you read it to me yeah great you got to read this comment here from graham it is like super sweet it was like all hyped up loves the magenta playthroughs basically and was like already set the reminder for tonight's uh arkham horror lcg stream you know i thank you for the conversation we appreciate it that's awesome very humbling uh so rise of the ghouls so the floor beneath you is giving way and you see a vast network of tunnels twisting into the darkness below shapes and silhouettes of strange creatures move swiftly through the tunnels trying to find a way up you probably don't want to be here when they do man if i was going to the bathroom and that's what i saw would you rather i'm doing my business there and this guy comes out of my floor i don't know at least i wouldn't crap my pants seven seven is the uh threshold of doom counters on that before it advances that's awesome okay so again sorry i found rats so they are just going to engage with me in the hallway which i can take care of no problem but that sucks if that's not an enemy and you ow yeah there we go full minion two two two so two to fight em two two of eight em two health humanoid monster ghoul that's good that you got the harder one it was a colossal and nameless blasphemy with glaring red eyes and it held in boney claws a thing that had been a man gnawing at the head as a child nimble nibbles a stick of candy and he does a one damage one horde bring it okay uh on to investigator phase what are we doing who's first uh i don't think it really matters if i maybe you go first and see your outcome because if i take care of these rats first turn potentially obviously all first action all going well then i could potentially come down here and help you if needed but if you take care of that i need to do what i need and get up here we need to have that here that's what i need so i think you go first and see what happens on your turn before i make it whatever you say lead investigator yeah it's just delayed drew is a producer of rob's gaming table so spoilers kate uh kate spoiled it i just just got an email just welcome uh you're obviously in the discord already i don't need to pronounce about that but that's welcome to the community thank you for being a producer of rob's gaming table we appreciate it thank you thank you all right i assume you want more kim horror on the channel i think he's trying to say something to us why is he trying to persuade us with money uh that wasn't part of the deal i said liking the video sharing it you know watching it that kind of thing there was no money involved but if you want to slide you're sliding a bit of money attach that like button i'm going to look the other way we're not going to say no no i'm not going to say anything and we'll add some more packs to the collection again no okay don't say sorry that's okay kate i'm just joking i have it open here too on my opinion on this computer i always forget yeah and then sometimes it i i go to sign in if i haven't signed in for a while on this computer and it's like sort of asked me to like two-factor authentication i never have my phone downstream okay so yeah you're gonna go first i think that's the best that's the best play okay uh so i'm gonna fight this guy uh i wanna use my gun i i don't know if i need to i have a four combat he's only two he doesn't have retaliators who doesn't hit me back so if you miss i don't have to waste my gun now but there are clues at my location i literally get plus four for combat and it would but i do need to deal extra damage right so oh yeah if i just hit a regular combat i have four but a regular combat only does one damage which i didn't really explain clearly before but the advantage of a gun is not this gun especially is not just to give you extra fight value it also deals extra damage so literally without a weapon i would be sitting here got like slapping this guy for one damage and it would basically waste whole turns and maybe i don't even kill the guy so uh it's twofold for using up a bullet here so i'm gonna use one to spend enamel to fight i get plus one fight for the attack if there are one or more clues on your location which there are uh i get plus three instead and the attack deals plus one damage so i'm literally plus three i'm at seven on two that seems good unless i pull the red but i mean whatever uh minus three okay minus three you were seven on two four yeah so we're good but if i didn't use the gun i would have been four versus two minus three i would have failed yep oh there you go yep the gun is the winner boom so i just shot this guy in the face he's gone uh i get a clue off my location uh once per round and hmm i guess i'll move you don't want to try for that last one you want me to flashlight it i don't know i'm just thinking you can then we get the victory point or why not all right spend one flashlight damned uh minus two shroud oh yeah yeah um oh hold no no no no no on rewind i have another card i can play right yeah i have the one resource could i not play this oh this doesn't even cost an action it just cost me one to play it right yep i don't have that card anymore blocking events uh play after you defeat an enemy discover one clue so yeah this will give me an extra clue so i don't need to do a whole other test i was going to do a whole other test and spend this to help but i'll just spend one resource play evidence which i've never played like that before to because i never had it when any of that happened or use it on a test to help you uh but i'll get the additional clue yeah so it doesn't even take an action because it has the fast keyword right but it does cost me one to play it uh one resource right so that's still just one action right because i was all just part of that it was fast so i still have two so now i will i will no i'm just kidding i'm just kidding i'll draw oh you're good and working a hunch this is one of my secret cards i have here another fast card play only during your turn discover your location you're the clue seeker who there was saying i couldn't deal with clues yeah yeah who who's who's the clue getter now huh also before you oh that is your last action okay because drew is back says just sign up for patreon i think that when we were saying thank you i think he might have tried to thank you so much thank you yes all the alerts didn't like pop and we're all confused like what what just happened but thank you for becoming a producer of robin's gaming table we appreciate it yes thank you so much thank you for trying to bribe us to play more arkham horror on the channel uh that wasn't one of the options we said share the video watch the video like the video and we'll do more arkham horror uh we didn't say bribery was part of that but hey you do what you've got to do uh to help push us in that direction uh and we'll just look the other way but thank you so much thank you thank you for the support are you good then you're done right no more actions for you yeah okay done okay i wish i had a fourth action on a tournament well yeah but now i don't really need it because i don't really have anything we can't go through all right let's get resources i'm gonna do i'm gonna do action oh i gotta i got a guy here i gotta do this first oh oh but actually i wanna play with this i moved to there and fought him okay i think i want to actually just so that i jim says he bribed for a birthday vid yeah oh yeah yeah sorry jim we were scheduling like i said uh we originally put um aventuria on sunday we're gonna play it but then we started talking about time crunch and mel with work doesn't have time to learn aventuria really before because we're playing this game yeah uh until monday night so instead she has time we could play in the afternoon on sunday so we figured let's leave um sword and sorcery on the table so we're gonna play two sword sorcery streams this weekend back to back so that way it's more time efficient uh so we don't have to stay up uh you know in the middle of the night when mel should be sleeping learning a new game for her um so we're gonna play it on monday night off stream i'm gonna teach her yeah and show her how the game works and then we'll play it on tuesday we're gonna start yeah so sunday we're playing sword and sorcery which i know before you said either one was okay i felt bad i i don't know what you're saying it's all good but i really want to try to line it up like that but then i was like okay mel when are we going to learn this game she's like well you know and we would have had to like change our arkham horror streams i was like ah let's just leave it yeah so we're going to play that on tuesday we'll be here sunday i don't know your birthday i think it's on monday right yeah it's birthdays on monday on monday yeah yeah so we won't be here for your birthday technically but the next day belated birthday we will celebrate with you on sunday oh yeah we'll be here sunday yeah okay so here's my possible options i do have two cards i do have a card that i could put in so right now i'm going in one on one that doesn't seem good i could put a card in for another one i could even maybe put two cards in so i can go in three i won't retaliate it's just wasting actions the other option is like for my first two at all all right now they're working now they're working all maraucio i'm sorry if i'm pronouncing that wrong but mark marcio luis luis thank you so much thank you so much they're not popping on there either but yeah yeah it's just like delayed thank you so much thank you so much for supporting the channel we appreciate it um bob dropping the comments in here mel doesn't have time to learn the game won't you just tell her what to do like normal hey now i don't know draw that card no no play that card no do that action don't ask questions just just do it it's like i'm playing solo two-handed but mel's just like holding the cards in here when should i choose honey what what do you want me to play at darling no actually somebody do it here to be honest i read through every single rule book for games that we play and we i will play them in advance with him off camera if we need to to practice yeah a brazilian name awesome welcome welcome yes thank you so much yeah we do have some brazilian fans of the channel uh i don't think you've been around for a bit but we used to have murillo he's from brazil i'm pretty sure i played with us on a couple streams i used to work with them just from brazil but yeah brad exactly what you're saying is my second point so my first option is i could have done the combat just throwing in some cards my second option is i could take my first two actions but then this guy's going to retaliate again or is going to hit me because they're they would be to gain resources so i do need to go with the first option because i can't play can't pay for a backstab at the moment without him attacking me so we're gonna go for a fight of one-on-one but then i will put in uh one combat two combat cards just for the icons i'm not going to put in anything thanks no help over here it's all good but i could because i'm at the same location but nope it's all those rats are not going to hit you back i don't want to spend the cards and worst case i do have some cards i could discard if needed if i pull something back with my abilities so we'll see can't just stand 60 likes let's get it to 100 woo that would be fun i think it will though because like i feel super bad we're playing at 7 30 p.m and all right streams like a third or more of our audience is like uk and i know some of you guys are here now you're up at like three or four in the morning right now you're crazy i love you guys but uh i just feel that's some of the audience that watches the daytime streams on the weekends and weekdays aren't here to see this and they'll be watching it like tomorrow so i think some of those guys and gals will come in and they'll be slapping the like button too so i think we'll get there but to hit 100 live that's crazy yeah that would be crazy i don't know that we maybe we haven't get my hopes up i'm just kidding well thank you everybody yeah that's awesome uh you need to commit skills to a test before pulling the token don't you yes yes yes yeah yeah so mel's committed those two cards i passed on adding one from myself i'm at the same location i could so we passed that point once we're done committing cards then you pull the token yep tokens in my hand okay so we're going for three on one oh what's this one do it was minus two so i it would be one on one so i'll still win and then if there's a ghoul enemy at your location take one damage he's just saying he's just a creature so no thank you so i am the winner against the rats okay who hit the dislikes is brian uh somebody who doesn't like us playing cthulhu mythos uh lovecraft games i think which is okay that's okay that's okay yeah if you don't want to see this on the channel hit the dislike button also that is totally valid and totally cool although i think the likes will uh outweigh it big time anyway i know the percentage here is uh yeah i think i think the scale is tilted yeah you guys are awesome yeah thank you okay uh that was action one so now i can freely do whatever i want so i'm going to action two gain a resource action three gain a resource and then luca who gives me a fourth action i will use that action to draw a card for a weakness yeah i know right no leather coat perfect you need that for the cold cellar if you ever go down there yep all right uh done uh monsters nope nope uh reset bang oh and at the end term we gotta remember okay yeah after we check our hands yeah yeah uh so no cards that are exhausted nope draw cards i got another vicious blow boom so again no weakness yet oh which am i that's being nice manual dexterity this works really well with the um uh backstab that i have to change my all right so we're checking limited end of the round uh we're both in the hallway as a group uh let's spend how much you got four how much you have uh uh four so oh three three and three yep three each and we're gonna advance this at the end of the round uh when the round ends investigators in the hallway may as a group spend the requisite number of clues to advance and it now is breaking the barrier uh using the barrel from the attic you carry ice and snow from the cellar and hurl it at the barrier the barrier sparks and shutters as it consumes the ice then hisses and fades out of existence the barrier blocking the passage to the parlor has vanished reveal the parlor we actually reveal without being there whoa look at this guy's head on the floor what the heck is going on is that the guy from the bathroom i think so so the parlor uh has uh two shroud zero clues on it and has that action resigned so you can resign with a monster engage with you he will not do an attack of opportunity this is a way for an investigator to basically leave the scenario just to kind of like be defeated and if we both resign it kind of ends the scenario and we read the like uh the ending that's like you had no conclusion or whatever it's like you just want to tap out you feel like i don't want to take any more damage i don't want to die we're just going to resign okay you totally can just leave the game doing that it even says this is too much for me you run out of the front door fleeing in panic there's also while leta chandler is not controlled by a player she gains action parlay test intellect if you succeed take control of leta chandler so you gotta do a four intellect test so we'll find out about leta chandler here put the set aside leta chandler into play at the parlor okay here's leta chandler we found her uh she's a zealot and says ally while you control lita chandler she gains each investor your location gets plus one combat there's a reaction when an investigator at your location successfully attacks a monster traded enemy that investigator deals plus one damage and she takes up an ally slot so you can play her like an asset okay uh is what this assets card here is but it just has you guys know assets now but this is a uh it takes up your companion slot which we haven't seen any oh you haven't looked or leo leave it sorry nevermind i don't need to explain that then um and she has three health and three sanity which we didn't really describe her then you haven't done it yet oh no um but you can assign damage you take and sanity or horror you take uh to these characters if they ever uh get you know enough to fill up they get discarded or whatever they're like defeated um but you can pass off some of your damage if you control them so we have a way to take control of her if we succeed at like a intellect test which is the same tests we've been doing uh to find clues if we can pass a four here uh somebody can take control of her that would be good uh also spawn the set-aside ghoul priest in the hallway ooh ooh okay so the ghoul priest hello uh has five health per investigator so he's 10 health or to combat or to evade he's humanoid monster ghoul and elite uh if he ever has to decide who to engage with he will go after the highest combat which is myself that's what the prey does it breaks ties he's a hunter so if he's at a location without a um investigator during the enemy phase he will actually if he's ready not exhausted and has been evaded he will chase down the closest investigator if there's a tie he'll go after the highest combat and he's got retaliate so if you fail a combat test against him he will hit you back for an automatic two health loss and two horror and he's worth victory too if we defeat him he'll go to our victory display uh and that is a yum yum yum for experience points okay so he is at our location here and before the chat has an aneurysm please take your resource yeah sorry guys i would have noticed when i looked down like where i was reading it but i didn't want to interrupt you now yeah that's all good no that's okay that's okay did i draw a card though i did right i think you drew a card and you know why it's because i tried it when i first started playing this game i had the bad habit in our first playthrough of like we just draw a card and grab a resource but because you could draw into a and there is a timing to it uh you draw a card first because you could draw a weakness that has a revelation effect that could do something and it may affect you by discarding all resources for example well you don't get that that resource until after you've drawn the card so i'm trying to do stuff like very structured like the timing chart kind of um at least you get in the right in that right i'm trying to get the good habits built down for the game but yes at the start of the next round i would look down like i want to play oh where's my resource i should always start the round with usually um yeah i would have noticed i have forgotten that in our plays before we stream too um because i do it separate it's very weird i feel like i should just grab the both at the same time so i don't forget but so you're right it could change things yeah yeah it does change things so that's why i delay it but then that makes me forget it sometimes okay we got the ghoul priest in the hallway very clinical tag okay uh let's see here uh mythospace uh yes we're gonna add a do and then obviously we're not at seven so i will draw my first my encounter and this actually is perfect it's another obscuring fog it's going to make it plus two shroud on this location but we don't even we don't need to worry about that because there's no clues that we're trying to yet gather here read the next act did we not oh sorry no this one oh next act sorry not again no that's okay uh sorry yes what have you done what have you done so a woman with a torch stands in your parlor i'm leader hey a glimmer of hatred in her eyes what have you done to my barrier she screams furious before you can answer a ghastly whale sounds behind you and a creature wearing robes and deer skull mask tears through the wall advancing towards you objective if the ghoul priest is defeated advance so actually we can't advance this one using clues we actually have to defeat the gold priest so that is our objective that's like we're all in on that we gotta do it and we gotta do it fast before this advances i would assume okay i am prepared um okay so sorry now we were doing did you hold on did i already do one no uh you did one oh i did one which i didn't do one yet i went to research oh i'm scaring yes it is yes it is yes yes because i got the obscuring yes frozen in fear i hate this one terror what frozen interference to play in your threat area the first time you perform one of the following actions move fight or evade each round it costs one additional action and then forced at the end of your turn you can test willpower for three if you succeed you discard frozen in fear this one like sticks around super annoying yeah that is very annoying uh anyways uh i wish i drew that one to be honest yeah i know all right so this guy is still doing two fights engaged with you oh yes yes sorry he's engaged with me also yeah we can just kind of yeah yeah okay okay do you want to go first here's the thing you want if we can get lita she will help us with combat against this guy he is a monster so her ability does do an extra damage he's 10. so right now i'm only doing two damage with a successful attack and it's against a four so that's going to take a while to get up to ten damage five attacks okay you can possibly do a three damage yeah uh but this could also help you with combat and also would help you get an extra damage on a fight against him so this could make you do a four no well the three wouldn't be on a fight so if she's gonna know is that no no this is just a reaction when investigator locations successfully attack attacks so as long as you're doing an attack i wouldn't get that the plus combat but i would get the extra yeah so it would be a four minute yeah so that would be like we can take him down quicker with some leeda okay i could go get her i have extra action and then i have to do the parlay of a test of and you can leave right because he's engaged with me oh and i can do okay i think i can do both because if you bring her if you get her yeah and she's here then that helps me too with the plus combat and extra damage yep so if you can but only if you can do this the whole parlay thing because if you don't think you can pass an intellect test of four then there's like i don't know if there's a point well i can put don't go over there like waste time on that but i mean like i could put a card in that would she's obviously like she's obviously like key to helping defeat this guy like before he defeats us because he does like two horror and two damage and i only have five uh like sanity so yeah if he attacks me three times or retaliates against me so if i fail a combat against him uh i get hit automatically so i tackle opportunities he could you know if i fail a couple attacks against him and then he actually goes in the enemy phase i could be done in like one round worst case oh if i do get lead i have to remove leo you're right you're right but is one extra action from you gonna take this guy down faster um no but technically or i don't have another one you but i don't have an ally if you can evade this guy he i can he'll go back to the location he won't attack in the enemy phase i can still fight him and he will retaliate right i think uh is only if they're ready yeah yeah yeah it has to be ready i won't be able to okay so here's the thing what i could do is i could bring him over to me no you need to evade him yeah but then i can't fight him who cares about fighting him right now evade him we can find him next turn we have time but my stuff to evade him is the stuff that i would use to fight uh that's okay if if we can get this i think it can make up for the extra damage you're losing there three hits though versus one of eight okay listen without this plus one combat i i i could fail more often but i'm saying if i and i do less damage yeah yeah so it's like but if i take this enemy to my side and you think i just run yeah but what but he'll be hitting you if you he can hit me one time and worst case worst case if you fail at that point i could let him hit luca at that point yeah he would kill luca in like one shot yeah but at that point i don't need the extra action because i've used it the whole game this is just the final if i get the one through i don't know yeah i'm not sure i don't know i just know this guy hits hard like i look and i have a five he hits for two if you take him i mean he's still his heart you have three you're you're actually have less open than me because you have three already but i do have the bonus here yeah true i don't okay i'm just saying if i but i could also but i could also go pick her up i could get rid of leo he just says you may take an additional action during your turn i could use the action be like i could use the move action as his action can you just evade him if you can evade him he won't hit any of us he won't retaliate you could still attack i know you want to use the same question but then yeah i don't know i can evade him yes because like the ret like it shuts off retaliate and it shuts off him attacking in his turn it shuts off him hunting us like it shuts him off like it buys us a whole turn and you don't even have to attack at that point and then i can go get lead i i have i have the ability to probably get lita i can think i can likely i don't know but you have to evade him i think that's how how it's gonna start i don't think you fighting him is the smart thing because that leaves him up and still punching us back i just saw one comment that says now i realize why i almost always play soul oh gosh but you're the lead investigator you you decide but it's like i don't know playing solo though you can get an analysis paralysis either way you just don't have someone else to fight with if you just want to do something yeah that's true um who is more likely to succeed at the test for leta that's a good question um i can i can make mine up for five same same the only thing if he's exhausted i could also draw a card first yeah i could take him i could go first i can just bring him to my side i could evade him first i can spend one like even if you knock him down five on four even if you knock him down on my turn i could fire on him no that probably wouldn't make sense to do okay i'd probably just still move try to get her then move back but if i don't get her then i'm sitting there looking like an idiot okay no no no okay but i think it would be good for me to have her too because she gives extra combat and if i'm fighting a lot that kind of that's kind of good right yeah so then my guns i'll have you more success of chance against this guy and more damage yeah i'm not the fighter i feel like these three bullets will be like very impactful if we can get hurt okay so then i'll go first i want him to retaliate also i am just thinking if there's anything i want to do i need robin i can't attack and move this around oh yeah that's right frozen in fear yeah you'd only be able to do one thing move fight or evade no i can still move and then test on that yeah yeah yeah yeah i forgot the move was in there i forgot the move was in the frozen inferior okay i'm just looking at my discard pile i'm not rearranging anything because i will be playing an event out of my discord pal for three i don't need that event okay just making sure i have enough resources before i bring this guy over okay i don't want to draw a card because i'm worried that i'll draw i have a bring over this guy you don't need you don't need to engage with him why i can i how much can you invade him no you can attack him when he's in my spot yeah but i can't invade him he has to be engaged yeah yeah i forgot um i don't want to draw i don't want to draw a card yet because i have a card that makes me remove all of my um [Music] my discard pile so i think i'm just going to engage for action one action two will be to a evade so i have four i'll play one you have anything that you want to help me available this is four uh agility yeah so right now i'm at five uh it's okay want to because i want to help you on other of aids too i'm sure this isn't the only time we're going to invade this guy okay so right now i'm doing an evade of poorly's try i have five on four [Music] oh you had a more no because i need i need this card with my backstab if i want to make a three go through i don't think you even need to worry about attacking this guy why would i not want to tag him for three damage i'm gonna throw away that and then i have those cards you fail this he's up and he's attacking you two damage to four well i if i play this i don't think that will that's fine go ahead if you feel plus one no if you feel plus one is good i don't wanna i i don't but that's why i wanted to it's fine it's fine so because i i don't think that i'll get enough because even if i'm doing an attack i also don't know how much agility you draw in your deck either so like for me i think agility is very rare in my deck so that's like a very hard pill to swallow i have another one of those but yeah so i i don't know your neck well enough to know like if you'll just draw some more agility again either so mommy daddy stop fighting no okay so i'm gonna draw a plus one i know it but okay so i have four five six seven seven on four yeah losing is okay you won't retaliate but minus two uh okay this one oh minus one and if you fail oh my god i would have had it without putting that guard down i know i know okay that's fine okay so he's definitely exhausted we'll just exhaust him over here he's at the location uh that is there this lets me draw one card oh see it's not that bad okay oh look you got the lucky get out of here i didn't even realize that card drawn it so it's like just replacing itself okay so uh yeah see brad i'm the same way brad says i hate being less than two up so when you were just going to go one i'm fine with it i freaking get so irritated when she does these tests like she does the test or even i'm like mel remember this plus two rule i keep reminding you that yeah but there's like zeros in there i know and sometimes lucky but then sometimes you spend the cards and then you're drawing the fail and it's like okay i i don't know i also play a little bit more because i do have the ability of discarding a card to redraw one time so i think i play a little more loose because of that as well like oh if i draw something bad i can just try again um okay so that was action one okay if this is the case now i'm so now i want to play well he's not going to retaliate against me i can play events from my discard pile the top event which is backstab so if i fight i use my agility instead of yeah nice but now i don't have any extra agility so i'm still four on four because i used this one this won't hit you back four and four but if you want to save that so you have can you card draw now and then maybe i could card draw but i'll i could lose yeah i've only spent one action so far yeah we have like still like 75 percent of your deck like i do want to use backstab yes yes but do you want to draw do you have enough action as a draw to possibly get something to help you with the test first and still have the action i could draw one the only problem is if i draw one and i lose my discard pile graham is that in a good way or a bad way it says you guys your strategic thinking and analysis is mind-bending oh is that bad is that a bad thing or good i don't know but my head's starting to hurt is being mind bent mel you're also the lead investigator you can yeah buy a roll and hire new partner you're out i'm gone no no i'm just kidding i just play a little bit differently yeah no that's what's cool who the hell put you in charge anyway oh they did you guys who did this mind bending in the sense of a badass in a good way okay i'm gonna chance it there's only one card that can make all these go away so we're gonna chances so i'm gonna use my third action to draw a card hoping for something with agility on it nope okay so then i will play uh out of my discard i'll pay three to play backstab topmost event of my discard pile as if it was in my resources so yeah that's why i wanted to save this it's okay though do you want to help me now if i'm doing a combat but i'm using agility i don't know the card that i have in a julie symbol on is not one i should be throwing away okay well then i'm gonna go four on four but it i'd rather use it on it if i was gonna use i use it all the time when you're gonna evade him i think it's more important than if this passes this is going to do three damage to him that's i don't care about damage i care about damage i know that's how we went but evading is what you do do it good and we will win no matter how long it takes i do have lucky yes uh and it is across one yeah so i could give myself plus two you're right probably got it which you drew because you played a card then i was nudging you to play okay okay so this test is four on four uh yes minus two well well well what can we do with that oh oh yeah i'll pay one you lucky pos this is fast play when you fail a test and i get plus two for the skill for the test so it just cancels out this minus two this then goes to the bottom of my deck because of my four stability from wendy okay so i yeah yeah so that's done so i succeed and i do three damage to him this will also go on the bottom of my deck and that's me done okay uh now i just start putting bullets into him right now i'm just kidding no oh no yeah yeah [Laughter] [Music] [Laughter] it cost me two actions because i'm frozen in fear oh my god yeah so first one it cost me extra action okay okay uh now i'm gonna try this uh little test here of a parlay so it's a four intellect i have three i'm gonna throw in a working a hunch as just playing it for the symbols so i'm at five uh yeah i don't have enough action to draw cards first or anything to see before i test uh so it's a five oh minus three won't want so five doesn't get me the four pass i fail and i don't get leta but now you're there with her so you can try fresh and you won't have this thing well no i will have that thing unless i pass it at the end of my turn i'm gonna test willpower which i have three i don't have any anything else to help me so i'm doing a test of three on three auto fail so frozen inferior sticks around i i don't get rid of it unfortunately uh okay enemies this guy doesn't do anything he's snoozing uh reset and we ready up anything exhausted draw a card in a resource oh no i got my treachery all right what's it do so i got a stubborn detective so he is well he is in your location treat your inves uh treat your investigator as if he or she printed text box were blank so i cannot do my ability until i take care of him ooh that's annoying and i gain a resource okay that's okay i can still use this though which is helpful i just can't redraw okay i'm gonna doom oh yes sorry good you draw i know i need lita a chill revelation i need to test my willpower of four if i fail uh if you fail choose and discard one asset you control uh if you cannot take two damage okay this is where i would okay so four let's put in a guts so uh four and six on four minus two six on four so four on four i win then this lets me also draw a card when i win hard knocks oh same rip chill test same test uh or it's before oh i wish you were nothing uh three on four i need a plus one oh what's this this is plus one for each clue at my location so it's still a fail that sucks uh choosing this car when i set you control uh flashlight yeah flashlight i know i could token off at three on this yeah because you used to once on yeah i did use this right okay i just bumped one over and i'm like did i just knock one over on that okay um okay uh our turn oh sorry this one is going to engage me as well i think i'm probably just going to draw here trying to find stuff to help me with this test and then trying that test yeah and that's probably my whole like yeah i know that that's crippling that card like at least i have my full three actions as long as i stay there doing stuff and don't fight evade or move and if you can just evade this guy this guy's only doing one damage which you still have seven eight nine technically like yeah he's not the worst this guy you just still have to worry about him i would ignore that guy kind of but that's up to you but the worst case if i miss this i'll just let leo take the damage at this point because at this point i'm not going to be able to do four attacks so yeah you go first but evading he won't retaliate so you could attempt this like over and over and over yeah yeah yeah uh so i mean first you're saying okay uh so what happens so i'm gonna draw over power that's good uh what i need for this test though oh yeah uh i should probably lead a first well i think you were hoping to draw some that would help you right yeah should i just do two actions trying to parlay yeah [Laughter] all right i'll do a parlay uh oh but i only have three on four like i'm not gonna see a plus one yeah i'm not gonna do that i need other stuff damn it's like you need to evade and like come here yeah but i i got yeah i could have ate one and this one i just take a damage that's fine i have stuff that i could help you with that too that's so frustrating i have nothing for it so it's like you might waste it too no but i could help you on a test let me just draw again okay there we go all right so we got some evidence so i could try it again with this yeah i think you do uh for five again uh yeah i just drew twice so i have a third action come on give me the good stuff minus one we're good that's perfect we're good all right this goes back in he's a member of our party all right what's it should do again uh if you succeed take control of the chandler yep so i have a slot fail before her we don't need to get rid of luca that's perfect um good thing i got that but now i'm done here at the end of my turn i'm gonna do this test of three on three for willpower try to not be frozen in fear anymore i have to fail yeah i don't have anything for that right nope yeah i do i do if you come to me that's okay whatever all right i'm done your turn okay so i'm going to attempt an evade um we're gonna go with five on four probably not a good one this time i'm feeling that oh oh it's blank it's blank so this does nothing so this is zero because my thing is blank yep so i went so he is evaded i win okay that's gone okay i thought i wasn't going to be able to do that um okay um [Music] i'm going to just attempt to evade this guy so i can use my two actions for something else so we're just doing a two on four a four on two okay i'll be able to come i can think of that guy maybe uh minus one so i'm three and then if i fail take a horror but yeah okay so i win that one as well so he's knelt i don't want to leave i want to stay there i think i want to either i'm tempted to actually take uh resources so i could play the other um i'm going to definitely take one resource so that's action three because i want to be able to play my other backstab that i have in my in my discard pile which is my next event um and i will try to hit the google yeah but i'm not gonna yeah build up if it's like a waste because you only attack for one right yeah i can i'm not there to help you no i'm gonna build up for next turn so i'm going to i'm going to take a card oh gain through resources there you go okay oh yeah i haven't seen it that's my fourth action from no empty caches okay that's me done okay enemies there's snooze in yep so reset ready this guy comes to me oh they both come to me yep okay and then draw oh i got mine too that's helpful i got some overpower which i can help okay and resource okay end of turn three four five six cards five adding a doom so we're at three and then i will draw one of these grasping hands revel revelation test agility of three for each point you fail by take one damage okay uh i'll just do a four on three minus two so i lost by one i'll take one point of damage all right all right grasping man we shuffle these right yeah yeah you shoveled even after i did right ah for each point you fail okay julie test this i'm going to take some damage i think uh so i'm just going to do my two agility i'm not going to put anything else in i thought about putting it on luca but i meant i have seven uh minus two so uh zero so i take three damage that's but i suck at agility it's normal oh yeah you're not with me seriously i'm taking it damage so i'm at four damage out of nine hey um our turn um yeah now do i go first i mean i don't know you can evade him again i'm four and four this time i don't have the plus one but i mean i can try multiple times that's the only thing like if i move there i literally that's two action screen move there and then one to fight him but then again he could retaliate yeah but i mean i would i we don't have clues on location unfortunately so i'd only get plus one from roland's 38 special plus one from leeda and four built in but i have other ways same i have ways as well i think i wouldn't have to worry about retaliate unless you pulled the and i'd be doing three damage a shot i only get one shot in though but if you could do three damage she's at six he's he's still going to be standing and could fight but if you think you can evade do you have something that will help me try to evade no no no not right now but even if i draw and i move there i can't even fight him anyway so because of this stupid card so i could draw first maybe find someone to help you evade but then it's just like we're just delaying so i don't okay okay i'll go first then i think okay all right i will attempt to evade because if you evade like nothing bad happens just losing action so you could do yeah yeah i'm just doing four and four so find zeros your blue star or or plus one or plus one yeah um health is just a resource until you're down to one i know that is true that is true but yeah okay so we're gonna i'll go first i'll just try to do a basic evade of four on four yes the luck is on my side here so that's a zero because i'm blanked okay so then i'm going to try to evade this is only a two yeah then i can do other uh yeah then i can do other stuff so let's try to evade this so i have four on two they're just making these guys look silly yeah like throwing banana peels all over the hallway you palm that didn't i did not i did not slide a hand here mel i did not i'm mixing them up too that's zero usually you draw the red one that often yeah i know right not the blue one you know right it's just been very lucky i swear i didn't take the red one out during a commercial oh you saw me draw it actually oh yeah yeah okay no commercial break shenanigans okay this is not how she normally plays guys she doesn't she's that horseshoe up her ass right now i do and she's doing very good i love it okay um that the luck train eventually wears out yes it's an elder sign yes yes it's an older song yeah i thought it was i thought it was that i think i called it star right yeah we call it star but yeah it's an ultra sign we know better okay so i think i'm going to then now this one means that's just all elder signs in the bag we bought 16 corsets just to get a whole bunch of elder signs and load it up oh my god anyways um i'm going to then play the top event of my discard pile oh one two three we're happy with drawn oh okay okay just the capital letters though you're yelling all that for bad pronunciation on this channel it's our thing so i i are calling things the wrong names and stuff it's okay okay so i'm playing backstab which lets me use my agility to instead of fight and then they'll take two damage now here's the question i would be fighting four on four if i fought this guy yeah and i would again i would again do three damage or i just take it you got another backstab yeah two back to back in there oh wow you had your back stabs back to back i did yeah see oh okay no slighter hand on that either okay no it's fully visible just checking okay um i have a feeling that i'm not gonna hit on this guy where the plus two could just take this guy right out i'm just wondering if i should just that ability getting that back might be pretty huge right yeah yeah especially on this like i i don't know i don't know yeah you have more chances and this guy's only three yeah yep so i would be going in four on three well either way i mean because i have to evade this guy every time which is kind of it breaks this so one of these times you're going to draw like the red and you won't be able to just toss it okay mixing them up in my hands we don't have minus seven in there i don't think okay so i'm going no we didn't put a minus seven in minus four was the highest yeah yeah only minus minus three minus four in there no minus seven what's up like minus eight okay i'm gonna go on my stubborn detective for this fight because i i don't i'm worried okay so it's four on three minus three can't do anything about that okay so that's just discarded um i do have one more action i could just do a fight but i'd rather save some of these things for when you fight oh i can actually just gain a resource or something that's why i was thinking yeah when you exhaust them just draw cards and or gain money yeah i will just gain oh sorry that backstab goes above my deck i'm so sorry and i will take a resource thanks kenji okay that's me done go ahead all right uh so i'll move cost me two because frozen in fear and we're gonna fire can you though does that cost an extra action too no the first time you perform one of the following actions move fight or evade oh so i did a move that cost me two after that i could do whatever yeah that'd be too harsh yeah uh so i'm here i'm gonna do a fight on the big boy i spent a roll in special uh one ammunition here uh to do plus one i have plus one off leta you now plus one fight off leto don't forget that um awesome so i'm at six on four i'm gonna throw i'm gonna throw a vicious blow and an overpower in uh so only one over power can go in if it's successful i draw a card and a vicious blow if it's successful uh i'll get plus one damage so i should i think that will do one because he's a monster two three for the combat four damage on this if it succeeds i think i think that's the proper way to do that hopefully i don't fail i mean i could but i still think it's worth it uh zero yeah so we are good that was how much damage so stuff one two three four four damage four damage yeah that's why i was saying if you can just line it up so i can fire on this guy i think with the lead as long as we got leader there it would have been enough that i can do less attacks it will take less turns and we can get them out faster uh so i60 i'll draw the card and boom and that is that no clues to grab and that is my turn oh sorry i didn't flip myself yes sir uh monsters oh those would have went back there sorry uh reset okay yeah so ready them up sorry these should have went back so this guy comes to me because i'm the bearer yeah and i get this guy yeah oh i forgot this set in my turn yeah uh i'm gonna try guts on it actually uh this time as i drew that after the last test so uh i have three four five five on three to get rid of frozen in fear minus one yes yeah yeah yes that's right i remember thank you though yeah i see that uh and i'll draw a card and we get rid of frozen inferior at the end of my turn so a little bit of roll back there but now we're we're we're good okay um we ready to up bring it up draw a card or did i already draw the i didn't i don't know if i don't think you did oh no i didn't i just drew that off that other test yeah yeah whoa uh and a resource yeah card draw and no weakness yet man i i know me uh i'm gonna draw it now that i have a handful of cards though but yeah it's been lucky sorry okay okay so i'm gonna add a doom we're at four of seven and then i will draw a oh man keep getting enemies i got a flesh eater oh it's gonna spawn in the attic oh that's perfect he's not a hunter so he won't come chasing us he'll just sit up in the attic until we want to fight perfect perfect and then i got a ravenous ghoul humanoid monster ghoul 333 prey lowest remaining health uh but he'll just engage with me because there's no no tie there it just goes directly to me okay so we got two enemies in my thread area seven i don't care about this guy i just cover this guy seven out of ten can you if you went first with help can you do a big attack potentially as long as you don't draw a token of course because if you did worst case you could give her the two and two right so you wouldn't take the damage i'm okay to take damage we would take two five absolutely okay okay because i think you go without even having a retaliation oh yeah like evading him yeah no i i can go and as long as we don't draw the as long as we don't draw the rat yeah yeah but if we do that happens whatever yeah i think because i only have four damage out of nine so i would just take a two and two which i could still take yeah and so could she worst case okay because i think you just go first and we don't try the whole evade stuff i can also help you all right so i'll go first yeah uh i'm going to spend a rowlands 38 special i am going to throw in another overpower oh i can't throw mine in every time you do that no i'm just kidding go ahead [Laughter] i want to be involved it's one damage for the attack rolling special extra and the monster damage that's enough to kill him right yeah yeah so i don't need to throw an extra uh no extra damage but if you wanna make it so that you're even if you got a minus four throwing an unexpected courage also okay one one yeah so one two three four uh plus four more eight nine ten that overkill that's probably overkill yeah that's probably because the minus four is the worst minus four is the worst so you need so one two six seven eight yeah so that's all you technically need yeah yeah yeah that's overkill it's overkill i should save you in case this whiffs then i can use that on the other one [Music] minus two okay so that's what three damage and he's dead uh yeah three damage bam see a google priest uh victory display uh shirt right here right here victory display oh okay uh oh this if the glue priest is defeated in advance so i think this happens like right away oh i feel like yeah i think we have to wait in case it does something on the other side defending the home [Music] when the robed creature falls the penis swarm burrows back into the ground and the chaos of the house quiets but the stranger in your parlor doesn't seem relieved you broke my seal that was set to trap the ghouls within she raises her torch now we must take more direct measures and burn this hell pit to the ground the lead investigator must decide choose one it was never much of a home burn it down we would go to resolution one in the campaign guide or this hell pit quote unquote is my home no way we are burning it down or no way we're burning it uh resolution two this is up to you mel you can decide how you want to do that whether you want to ask chat or you want to do it yourself uh i want to ask the chat yeah so you can just put in uh our one hold on we can go if you want to burn it down oh i could do this for the whole thing i think oh okay ready i'll drop a link in the chat in two seconds yeah just wait two seconds yeah yeah this is pretty quick actually what to do and then you want we do we want to burn it or save it okay uh red pull oh share puppy all right i'm dropping in the chat this is to vote all right okay so vote there leave it for like a minute just go click that link pop your vote in and we'll see the results here in a second and we'll go with the majority fire fire it's funny to see it going like oh it's flying because as the boats are rolling in which is awesome yes i love it all right i think i can show it because i don't feel like it's going to swing the other way but you guys are all a bunch of pyromaniacs burn it down fire starters all right okay so if we burn it down thank you all for voting thanks we're going to r1 r1 so this is it it's the end of this scenario all right r1 resolution one you nod and allow the red-haired woman to set the walls and floor of your house ablaze the fire spreads quickly and you run out the front door to avoid being caught in the inferno from the sidewalk you watch as everything you own is consumed by the flames come with me the woman says you must be told of the threat that lurks below alone you are surely doomed but together we can stop it in your campaign log record that your house has burned to the ground [Laughter] the lead investigator earns the leta chandler card i mean include it in his or her deck oh thanks boom uh this card does not count towards the investigator's deck size uh the lead investigator suffers one mental trauma from watching her house become a smoldering room in ruin oh so i marked that on youtube so you start with only six uh like sanity or whatever you start with uh uh one of these tokens at the beginning of the next scenario okay crazy um so we'll take that off um each investigator earns experience equal to the victory x value from each card in the victory display remember to add eligible locations to the victory display each investigator earns two bonus victory uh oh two bonuses sorry experience he or she gains insight into the hidden world of the mythos so uh victory no we didn't defeat this guy this was cleared of clues this is clear of clues uh so that's that's our experience right plus the two that we got plus extra two yeah so what do we got one two three four so we got six each uh six each so four victory points there i think i was it we didn't see many other guys right that we defeated or anything of yeah just that last one i think but he just came in yeah we didn't have time to even fight we kept seeing stupid rats yeah anyways okay uh so now you wait we can do it at the beginning of the first one or the next one i just think as this one took a little longer it's getting kind of late here so what we're gonna do and all that you guys in the uk are like laughing at me uh saying it's late here but um uh i do appreciate being here we we are gonna save it till the start of tomorrow's episode 7 30 pm eastern show up early on time what we'll do is we'll talk about that experience so like i said down in the video description are the links to the decks we're playing there's kind of it looks like two-ish upgrade paths recommended in those write-ups of the decks um so yeah you guys can help us those who are here at the start of the next episode 7 30 tomorrow and we'll discuss you guys can vote we'll do some voting or something to figure out like which direction we go with the experience um because like i don't even know all that's available like we just kind of picked one option last time kind of willy-nilly just went with it yeah we were like learning the game but i don't know if it was the best um but yeah if you guys come with your suggestions remember we only own two core sets so we'll we'll bring out what we could upgrade to uh

I literally discovered these guys a few days ago looking for a playthrough of War of the Ring. A couple videos later and I subscribed.

They are just starting their Dunwich Legacy play though. Also good!
