Disney Gargoyles: Awakening - GameNight! Se9 Ep14 - How to Play and Playthrough

this should be more gothic the the police station there should be more gargoyles you're i think you're right but look at i mean this place you can't quite see it but there's very it's very castle this is the bad guy headquarters i said it was our headquarters i was sad they have a much cooler headquarters than us we just get this cop station [Music] game night oh i've been asleep for a thousand years so now i'm awake hey i'm aaron a gargoyle this is lincoln a gargoyle and that's nikki a gargoyle or maybe our one human cop friend in disney gargoyle's awakening a 2-5 player co-op or mostly co-op depending on the episode you play game published by robin's burger and designed by nate heiss let's get down to manhattan and defend it from the other evil gargoyles hey aaron hey lincoln will you teach us disney's gargoyles i will this is based on disney's gargoyles that was a cartoon show that uh like we got we missed it just by a few years but probably if you were born in the 80s this mid 90s cartoon show was like right at your generation uh but you know you can watch cartoons at any age yes we do yeah in fact uh the player who has most recently watched a cartoon gets to be the first player oh boy that'd probably be nikki and i that's a tie wow well when was that uh the last rick and morty oh no the last bad batch was probably the last one last bad batch yeah give me a date a week ago friday oh i watched an episode of eden on netflix two nights ago there you go so i win i will start this co-op game gargoyles in new york city manhattan specifically uh you know fighting the evil gargoyles in the faces the forces of evil uh as you do in disney cartoon shows so uh this game uh we have chosen our player heroes and we have chosen a scenario the game recommends you start with a reawakening scenario but we're kicking it up a little bit and you're going with the information warfare scenario a little more complex just for a little more fun on our part and a little more showing you a complexity of the game can you tell us a little bit about that scenario the first scenario oh yeah it's kind of neat where you face both of the uh iconic villains from the show and a third gargoyle or demon guy named coldstone yeah yeah i think he uh lost his lawsuit against the ice cream place and he's very angry oh my gosh he's sort of he sort of flips back and forth between helping you and opposing you we're going with a more uh collect these data disks before the bad guys come on floppy disks yeah right it's very 90s to go with uh critical information though that's really nice you know how much information these things can hold like 1.44 megabytes all right anyway let's get down to the game for our episode we win by getting these three data discs back to the police clock tower this building which is our headquarters and we lose by any one of our heroes being defeated so don't do that or the villains getting the three data discs back to the erie tower their headquarters they already start with one there so we're gonna need to go get that one wow that means you know in any space of their building it doesn't actually have to be at the top of the tower or anything like that so that's how we win and lose our chosen episode but when it's your turn the first thing you're going to do is take your hero actions uh like a lot a lot of co-op games the villains go first and this one no we get to go really okay so you look at your action points i have four most most heroes have three yeah i'm the little nimble guy who's not as good at fighting but is good at zooming around the city i guess lexington lexington can come up here get this yeah maybe i will be the the disc grabber so like the banana grabber um we've got these very cool uh miniatures that for the characters we're not using just so you can look at them we're gonna put those away once the game starts and we all the heroes start here at the police clock tower for this scenario they may not start there for every scenario every episode so on your turn you're going to look at your hero placard and you have a number of action points to spend you can spend these on in one of three ways basically move attack or use hero cards move and attack are the very simple basic actions there's also glide but i'm going to it's a past that one right now it's it's a kind of move so i'm covering it with moves if you want to get technical there are four types of actions but i say glides that kind of move okay so a move action you look on your hero placard and it tells you how many spaces you can move you may move uh i have a move of three nikki has a move of three lincoln's a little too slow he's got move two move two but so uh if i spend one action point the basic actions cost one action point and i can move three spaces diagonal is fine moving on the grid of the city is fine moving up a level onto a building costs an extra action point so if i was right here and i have three action points this is one two three okay to go up a level one question when you jumped from here you landed over here i think that was just that was just no that was just to okay that was just to show if i started here oh oh sorry that was not that was not an actual moment okay okay however that does take us into the glide action you do not have glide because you're a human us cool gargoyles with wings have a glide score which is higher than our normal movement action you can only glide if you start on a building so as long as you are up on any one of these cool cardboard buildings that lincoln and i built before we started the game you may use your glide uh number as your move so i have a glide of five and if i start here so we're all starting on the clock tower we have uh except for you puny human with your little legs yeah yeah we can start with a glide and i could go you know uh one two three four five it's a pretty cool move a very far glide okay could you land on this building over here i i would still have to spend the extra movement to go okay i wouldn't be flying down to that the movement is if you're going up it costs an extra one okay but i mean i could actually because it would be one two three four and i could end up here or so okay if you're going up you pay an extra point if you're starting on a building you can glide which is a further move nice so that was one action point you're definitely going to need you have to come over and get this because you've got a wall i don't want that guy to beat me up i'm scared i know i don't blame you uh attacking is also one action point uh if you look on your hero placard you see your attack score nikki's character and mine have a base attack of two goliath lincoln's stronger character has a base attack of three that is how many dice you roll the dice have hits they have special symbols and they have blanks hits are how many damage you do to the the minion or villain that you're attacking if your attack has range you can attack at that many range that many squares away from you otherwise your range is one and you can only attack adjacent things right it's fine if they're up on a building it's fine if they're diagonal it's very simple combat rules attack an adjacent thing or at the range of your attack um nikki is a police woman and so her attacks have a range built in that's one of her special abilities otherwise gargoyles have a range of one unless their card special says something the special lightning bolt means if your attack has a special effect you may trigger it lincoln's uh goliath special is that the lightning bolt can just count as an extra hit yeah it's a very powerful attack alisa's basic attack does not have a special lightning bolt power right my special lexington special lightning bolt or lightning bolt inherent special power is to generate skill tokens and i can give those out to other characters you can only generate that special once per attack so if i rolled three lightning bolts i don't get to give out three tokens [Music] because goliath when he gets those tokens the active hero gets a plus two maximum uh strength his is different it does say it says any lightning bolts can be treated as that no no no that's the uh special yeah yeah the lightning bolt is that but i'm saying that the ones that lexington is generating these i can distribute i can spend them to and uh enhance another oh oh nice length of attack yes plus two if it's also possible and about i'm about to get to the cards themselves if your card had a lightning bolt special attack uh i don't know if everything you can actually do all right this one here has a lightning on it well but since your character doesn't have enough you're not going to have two lightning bolts at a time but if you had two at a time if you had a lightning bolt special on your card character card and a lightning bolt special on your action hero card you could trigger them each once with one attack they can both activate once you just can never trigger them multiple times with a single attack if you attack several times during your turn they could each trigger once during each attack that's the basic rule it's not going to come up very much so those were the basic move glide and attack actions the third and more complex type of action is using one of these hero cards i've got a couple of them here for you to look at the top big number is how many action points that's going to cost it's usually going to be one two or three uh the second number is move if if it appears there the card itself has an inherent move value and it'll usually tell you do this and move and then attack or do this and move before this action or it just may have an effect and a bonus move inherent in the card the last two numbers if they appear on the card they're not on every card are the attack value and range value if the card grants you an attack it'll have the attack number of dice that you roll and the range value if any so the cards are fairly self-explanatory and sometimes sometimes they have none of those values and they just have a text thing that tells you to perform some special action some cards have an r which is a reaction card you can play that card at any time that the conditions are met on anyone's turn it may say when another hero is attacked boom you can play that card and resolve it or it may say when some a villain does this boom you can play that and resolve it just be aware of that card being in your hand out of turn out of turn exactly as an instant to use some other company's copyrighted effect probably oh you do not immediately refill your hand you draw to three at the end of your turn yes i figured yeah some attacks that you're going to make generally from a card can have a stun effect so we're not going to see this very often none of our basic attacks will have that but if a card says stun characters hit by this attack or this attack can cause stun the main villains cannot be stunned in this scenario we just have xanatos he cannot be stunned but the minions these counters can be stunned and you would turn them 90 degrees like this okay that means the next time that they activate and we're going to get to that in a moment from the villain turn they would only turn 90 degrees to become unstunned essentially and not take their normal actions so that that's what stun is only minions can be stunned i believe this was an off-board meeting yeah we've got four here to start the game um and then the last thing i may have skipped to mention on hero turns is when you use your skill token here which is usually a bonus for the team that does not cost any action points it can usually be out of turn uh thank you it can it can be out of turn it can be on your turn it does not cost action points okay then we take the villain phase whoever's turn it is the active player first checks to see if there are already four cards here in this moon track if this is already full it is now daytime and we take a daytime phase instead of a normal villain phase in a daytime phase first the villains daytime effects which are listed here on the episode placard happen and uh in this case they're going to move towards the nearest disc and try to grab it we're going to summon some new minions and shuffle their discards back in their deck and then each of our hero placards has a daytime effect which we will then trigger so it's sort of a global reset phase for all of the characters but you don't flip a villain card and take a villain turn in a daytime phase if this is not already full of villain cards you flip a villain card and take a normal villain phase you flip a card you look at it you read it from top to bottom it will tell you what to do it often will activate either the main villain himself or their minions on the board if the villain activates his attack and range numbers will be on the card if the minions activate their attack and movement will be on their token on the board uh and the scenario uh episode placard will tell you how they move in uh in our scenario it's quite simple they will move toward the nearest hero and they will try to attack us if the card lists a grid number this card i'm showing you says e3 then xanatos the main villain teleports to that location he just instantly goes there he doesn't have to spend movement points moving towards there so occasionally he's just going to appear in certain places around the city and then uh you know resolve the rest of the card whatever it says if he moves adjacent to a hero as part of that card or appears next to a hero he will attack that hero if there are numbers listed on the card and he won't move any further he's never going to move past a hero that he can attack and keep going he's going to move to a hero and stop the last thing you do is check for the moon symbol that i already told you about some cards do not have it but if it does have that symbol you will just place the card here which basically moves the clock towards the daytime phase that i told you about that is the villain phase and then the last thing we do is a refresh phase very simple you draw up to three cards and play passes to the next player clockwise if your deck runs out i think that's going to be pretty difficult in this game but you do not reshuffle in this game you do not draw more cards if you have less than three you just have to wait till the next daytime phase and that's when your deck is reshuffled i don't think it's going to matter i think the daytime phase is going to come reliably and we'll always have cards in our hand but that's the rule you don't actually reshuffle and draw new three new cards so you could be done for the day you could be exhausted for the night and then have to wait for daytime to refresh your meal it seems like a lot of cars it does i think we're gonna be fine so we will see if that's something we need to worry about but that's the entire game and so we know how we need to win and we know how we lose and we know who the star player is so we're ready to go okay all right cartoon watcher the uh i have watched more cartoons than anyone at the table apparently all right i am lexington this week yes just this week uh so i will start oh we all do draw three cards from our deck to start i neglected to say it it was part of i did say it but it was part of setup so we can look at the cards in our hand okay i will start the game starting my turn and uh two more important rules for our scenario only that we need to know uh we know how to win get all the discs back to our police headquarters and we know how to lose get the discs taken back to the eerie by the bad guys or any one of our heroes knocked down to zero health that would be bad but we didn't know i didn't tell you the special rule we all gain an extra basic action which is not pick up a disc and carry it with you but like a game that we played recently zombie teens evolution when you are in or adjacent to a disk space you can move a disk one space in any direction so we basically just drag or push them along the board for one action point and that's how we're going to get them back to the uh police station so unfortunately we can't pick them up and like run them along with us i just assumed that was what was going on we're gonna have to shove them along these discs are very slow traveling um and the other rules which i mentioned that um in some scenarios defeating the bad guy is one of the goals in this scenario if we do fight him and knock him down to zero he is going to go back to the erie building and heal back to five health but we skip the villain action phase that turn so it's good and it's bad he's never gonna be fully defeated he's gonna be healed back out to back to five health but if we happen to get him down to one or two we may as well get him to zero and skip the entire villain phase that turn seems like a decent idea right okay that's again special rules just for this scenario this episode that we're playing okay okay so tonight's episode tonight's episode information warfare so yes i guess i do want to head towards one of these discs and start uh getting it towards the police building yes yep yes so i will take a glide action which is five movement points one two three four five okay that's one of my four action points and i don't think can you move more than once you can move you can i could move all four times if i wanted to yes you can move as many times as is necessary or attack four times in a row if you're next to the bad guy and that's uh what seems well that's that's 20 movement well glide points for you right i mean yeah i mean it could be 18 though if i climbed a building and i could basically move across the board if i needed to uh i don't think any of my cards are extremely useful this turn i'm going to move again for my second action i'm going to move near this disk actually i'm going to move here and then third action and fourth action i'm going to push the disc along towards in fact i guess i'll push it up here onto the uh up onto the building what does that do for you i don't uh it's getting it there it lets me get it's still it's got to get to this space anyway right i mean i want to get up there and glide eventually yeah but i can also move it from this space or this space it doesn't really matter okay all right so that was all for my actions i just moved towards the disc uh it's clearly not gonna be day time for a while so i'm gonna flip the top villain card and see what happens shadowy research move each hero not on a building so only me in this case two spaces away from xanatos oh that's helpful to you yeah it is well unless sort of it leaves the disc doesn't it leaves the disc though so i got to go like this way okay can you go diagonally i mean i could it whenever there's a a choice that's equally uh valid the active player chooses so i mean i could choose to go here but it doesn't particularly good no not really well i was going to say because two you know that way but you have to go further away yes uh this does have a moon symbol on it so we're going to put it here and i didn't spend any cards so i had no i do not need to drop to three and it's nikki's turn you have three action points wonderful question do you want me to go for another disc or do you want me to help you move the disc that's on that roof right now you know sure how much movement do you have since i have a ranged attack you want me to start heading for minions i mean i don't i say do we win by defeating minions no do we win with the discs yes all right although there is one disc that's surrounded by minions and xanatos so we're going to need to deal with that eventually but their goal is not to get the discs no it is they actually will move them i i think they might only move them from cards they don't sure but my point is is like once you get into the building they're probably relatively probably relatively safe yeah or maybe um during the daytime xanatos does try to attack and move a disc okay but he only moves at two spaces it seems like he needs a lot of progress to move it towards this building and does it does it reach out or does he have to be near it he has to he moves four spaces towards the nearest disk oh wow well if you're over here that's the furthest space we want to get them over there right i think we're already on a good path here i think we definitely should deal with this but nikki you're pretty far away to get to this but she's got several moves and she does have special cards too i only move two i'm real slow i would say like four if you can get near a disc then go for it okay well one of them i kind of want to save for if i have to attack something now when you scale a building is each one of these just a level and what's this it it doesn't matter as long as you're going up spend one extra movement point okay that's it very simple we're made of stone though so i mean we've got wings though man okay i mean that's the point can we be in the same can two characters be in the same square no uh thank you for catching that that was part of the movement rule you can move through them you can go straight through them but you just can't end on the same space and uh sorry xanatose and his minions they can fly so they do not pay that extra point to go up basically everything costs one movement point for them because you know yeah they're they're gonna take it easy they're better than us yeah they know the city better than us we've been asleep for a thousand years by the way that's the special uh back story we just woke up and now we're protecting this crazy new modern city we woke up in that must be scary it's very scary that's why we got a human friend to show us the ropes yeah so um i got three movements so if i go this way i would land in um lincoln's position so i guess you could move diagonally so you could go one two on tan oh i can't through a tower yeah sure it's just diagonally okay use simple movement rules go one two three two four three so that was one action point and then i think you go through these decks slower than you think too there's not always attack and stuff which is mostly what my cards are right now anyway oh right well you're definitely the beefy attack guy i can use a card which it gives me four additional movement because i'm riding a gargoyle okay which will get me right to the disc sounds good to me i think that's a good reason well not like oh because you're gonna have to pay one extra together one two three four that's right there that's fine and moving being next to it lets you move it so that's it you move it on could you move it she can move you can move it you can move it when you're adjacent or on it so yes you can move it under yourself but i'm done right that was it no that was just true i got another action you have one more action okay then i will just move the disc yep so what can i be standing on yeah because you can move it you can be on it or adjacent to it and remove it so yes okay that was it and uh we don't have four cards obviously so you're going to flip a villain card okay aha he looks scary steel clan strike these now we don't know the mythology of this the the show yeah but the steel clan who i really thought were going to be ninjas from their name are apparently bad gargoyles okay so they are enemies what we do now is activate all steel clan and there are these four set up on the board here okay and we know from the episode placard that when you activate them they move toward the nearest hero okay so it seems like we're all evenly well nikki's kind of the nearest one right now don't you think actually or she might be nearest these two but i might be nearest these two let's count them up two three two four five six seven i think i will i think these two are going to go for me and these two are going to go for okay one two three four five six seven yeah okay so unless there's any white one two three four five six seven oh wait one two three four five six seven eight yeah okay do you have to count twos for them hopping no they fly so every square is the same for them okay so they're not going to reach anybody right they're just moving towards they're just moving and they have three all have three movements so move them as efficiently as possible one two three okay all right and now obviously if they were next to someone they would attack right card goes away and they are not next to someone they cannot attack this card goes away yes because it doesn't have the moon symbol no moon and you may now draw back to three since you did use a card during your turn i did and goliath's turn goliath well i'm thinking goliath should glide and move the disc and then maybe go and try to attack her go towards the bad guys yeah because then at least it gets it moved because he can he could move here but nikki's there so i just glide down here and move it down here sure you know so there's my glide action that's only three he's gonna move the disc beneath himself okay and then i'm gonna move i get three actions that's two actions already um i don't know if i want to get right up to them maybe i'll just move to uh protect because they're going to move towards me well only when they activate oh that's true we don't know how many times i guess i could just move it one more time you could just do that and wait for them to come to you yeah that's what we'll do okay uh villain card because nicki can move through me and then move it again no moon yay schemes within schemes ah this one has a grid number on it c three let's see and threes looks like it's way over there oh that's right up here that's right move all data disks not at the police clock tower one space toward the eerie building should it go diagonally on this one uh yeah sure i guess so since then it is technically closer to like this space i guess this one should too actually go diagonally like that ah damn and that's it come on lexington so now if he was adjacent to one of us he would attack but he's not but he's gotten very close all of a sudden again no moon no other movement or anything like that so this card is done okay uh you may draw up to three did you use any cards no you didn't i did not all right i'm gonna try and use a card just to i know i wish she was there before i have plenty of things to do stuff with i do oh that's kind of neat okay okay this works yeah i'm going to play a climb card which cost me one ap and it comes with his action point you're right uh i went to pretty advanced uh terminology i may ignore extra costs to move to a higher space during this action which gives me a perfect one two three instead of having to spend the extra for going up nice so and that puts me right next to the disc and right next to enemies so that was one action point uh i think i will for number action number two move the disc and action number three move the disc over there and oh that's this one cost far too many action points i could move the disc one more time or i could attack i'm gonna attack because even though my attack is weak it has the cool special effect if i write a lightning bolt so i'm attacking this guy right here in front of me on the ground and i'm really just hoping for the lightning bolt symbol i got two hits that takes him out the first hit damages and he flips him over and the second fit hit finishes him he's off the board okay as we know there more of these guys will appear during the daytime this guy's gonna be mad because you just killed his butt yeah he's you know it's more that came from all right i'm drawing back up to oh no i didn't draw villain card yet that was my hero cards laser blast uh-oh as we know these numbers uh are for xanatos that means he's going to attack the nearest hero technically it could be either of you i mean it clearly means he's going to move to this space he has two movement it's up to us as a team or me as the active player i think we clearly want him to attack goliath because i think i got a lot more health yeah so uh this is a five strength attack with a range of three so even if he didn't reach you he could attack up to three spaces away but he is going to attack you with a five to ice attack yipes it has no additional effects or anything like that at one hit wow that was a good role for our team the laser blast has a moon symbol on it i will draw up to three and then my turn okay that was about as good a role as we could expect yeah five dice so i'll i will attack to get them off the disc right i mean you probably can move the distance there's no rule against moving the disc really yeah so i just say get a j can she move from here diagonally adjacent there sure that's what you should do just move through me okay so yeah i move through you okay take the disc okay what is that that's one one one movement that's two actions two one to move and two you can move one more over here if you want probably oh can you do something she's got a cool card no just move it i had a lot of attack stuff okay all right card time card villain card time schemes within schemes he moves to g7 oh no that's myspace wow uh there is actually a rule for that uh it says if you you just choose an adjacent space since he actually cannot be on the same space that's nuts i know i didn't get distracted too this is silly he's got everything he wants right here people there to attack i mean well i guess we as a team can choose the least good space for him to move to that's why even though he would choose one of these spaces but all right move all data disks disks not at the police clock tower one space toward the eerie building so i would yeah move it diagonally because it gets gets closer that way this is a moon symbol so probably one more villain phase and then we'll get to do a daytime phase after that uh did you draw back up to three i never used a card so all right i was so close to actually using a card and yeah he uh teleports around the city but now we know he goes to this space and he goes to this space and maybe one or two more we'll find oh really well i mean i mean we know that they're not going to change it's not a very big deck of cards i've seen two spaces already right okay um it's my turn so i will boo i will say to that boo um two i can move up to three no two boo i won't be hitting anybody i guess i can move twice so that's what i'll do one two is that your regular move is just two yeah yeah and then one more so now i have one more action and i will spend uh well i'll do shred shred is basically kind of the same oh no i can't it's two actions shred sounds cool though it sounds very violent it doesn't give you any actions on the card itself it's it costs two at the top of the card so he already spent two getting so i will do um i will do the standard attack because the other one it would have just made it a little it would have let me gain something from lightning bolts is really all that is different hey in two hits and he's like he's flipped he's gone yep actually i'll do the guy he's flipped immediately in front of me he's flipped out and villain card all right objective locked sanatos moves four spaces towards the nearest data disk if he lands on a disk stop moving and move that data disk two spaces towards the erie building he can't move any closer no but i would say let's have him do this move through me okay not penalize him just for having me be stomping on the disk space which would be a little unfair and have the card do nothing so well that's what i like i know i know but it seems a little bit gamey to do that so because i think the card should have an effect and go one two yeah since that's the only thing the card is one lexington because he didn't go with it well no i mean yeah he he's some he's somehow he's got you know he put it in a taxi okay all right so now we know since lincoln's villain phase put out the fourth moon symbol i'm to take my turn and then we're not going to flip a villain card we're going to do the daytime effects on placards and then our placards it's going to be sort of a reset phase so um let's see do i have any good cards i've got that oh you know what i can attack someone or i can do oh i can do that that's interesting or i could just go try for the disc aura oh i know what i'm gonna do oh i know what i'm gonna do okay i'm going to since all since these a lot of these cards move discs that are not at the police station i'm going to get that disc to the police station because i'm up on a building i can glide but we don't want this get into the building do we no i agree with you though but i think getting one in there is good right well i mean nikki's gonna get it there on her turn yeah she is and i am really close to that one all right can i move that one and still attack the guy attack first although i'm sure we'll populate more yeah we'll pop all right i'm just i'll just i'll just go for the disc i will do i mean it doesn't matter what kind of move i use because i'm just going to move here and then i can move the disc under you under me and then over here and then i've got one action left i will attack oh no that building's unstable earthquake my attack is only two dice but i'm hoping for these lightning bolts come on lightning bolts i just did one damage so now we have a damaged steel clan member okay villain phase yeah it is now daytime so first villain placard ghostburst xanatos move four spaces toward the nearest data disk unfortunately it gets this one again if he lands on a data disk he stops and moves it two spaces toward the erie building basically just undoes my turn yeah that's terrible yeah but lincoln's right otherwise he would have gotten this one into the building next place three new steel clan tokens at the erie building it doesn't tell you exactly where but i'm gonna say let's just put them out here where they're going to be the most dangerous and close to getting out to the city to do us some harm and shuffle the villain discard pile into the villain deck that's the villain so there are three cards here that we didn't see so we don't know some of the spaces that he might go to or some of the effects that that might happen um now starting with me we do daytime effects first i can discard any number of cards from my hand this one seems pretty expensive i'm gonna discard all mine i want some new ones then i reshuffle my discard pile into my deck i draw until i have three cards in hand and then i heal three i know it's that's not it's not the same number for every one of us but we do get some free videos during the daytime so that's nice if you've taken some combat damage there are good ways to heal it nikki what's your day time so i can discard any number of cards i like what i have so i don't want to get rid of them and reshuffle any discards back into my deck and draw until you have up to three cards i can heal two and then i gain one skill token oh nice very nice yeah and what is your skill effect remind us or tell us after any hero has rolled for an attack they may re-roll any number of their dice once for that attack before damage is dealt very nice and to remind everyone you can do that on your turn or anyone else's turn and it costs no action points to do when you spend that token very cool uh lincoln is yours any different than mine is this card discard any number of cards from your hand reshuffle discard pile into your deck draw until you have three and then i can heal three okay it seems like that's a standard gun i'm just gonna go back up to eight excellent um and then i've drawn my cards and then it'll be nikki's turn okay nikki is that that yeah i see it like this is a little bit in my way so um you can easily do it you can move it one okay move and then move one and it's it's on the building well okay so i directed it move the disc one and then i move one she doesn't even have to make sure you have to move she can move it up from that position okay there you go cause it's adjacent so you've only done two you have another action yeah i'd say that's safe now unless there's some effect we don't know about or someone doesn't have to go totally no it's not the clock tower is the entire building see the clock are there any no they're all there right there's one here there's two here on the streets but they're not very close okay although this yeah and this guy if he moves to the closest one well you can get within range and start shooting him yeah oh shoot him yeah shoot him now shoot him well i how many did i move just two right two action points yes so i can only move one one more right right one card attack on it well it has to also be only one action without anything i do i have a move move on the right attack on the run hey so that is takes one action and um i'd move well it works just fine yeah you can move two and then and then attack with a range of three there you go you can hit it yeah and it's a two diff two die attack go ahead okay do some damage come on nikki or and i was gonna say or lightning bolt but she doesn't have a lightning lightning uh i mean i'd say no because yeah attacking him doesn't really do anything okay that great and it was a great effort she wasn't really facing him either that was a mistake okay yeah you uh you don't do you don't draw yet until this happens i was about two and a half all right objective locked xanatos moves four spaces towards the nearest data disk uh if he lands on a disk stop moving and move that data disk two spaces into the building into the building sounds like you can just get up there and move it i mean it doesn't seem like there's anything stopping you but it does uh it is a long way to go all right and that was the card so you dropped to three goliath goliath okay well goliath is gonna attack he's gonna shred tread so it's gonna take two of my actions but lets me potentially gain for any lightning bolts i roll so i roll three eight one is that one so i get to attack him once yes plus one of these will be converted to an attack a hit so he's out that's great and then the last one will give me a skill token that is nice which is great because it gives you plus uh gives you plus two strength to others i mean yeah up to five straight fantastic okay i used a card finally i know i've only used one and they're they're situational for sure so you have one more action yes i guess i'll move two towards the erie building yes all right there's a disc there's two discs there i know because we definitely like seeing has really been dropping the ball oh hey guess what yeah some of us are going to be attacked by evil things evil deal clan strike activate all steel clan uh so this one will attack me this one is closer to me clearly and then this one's close to me and there's one under the disc which will go either way which i guess i again i think we should send it after you just because you have more help um you're the fighter and i guess yeah okay all right let's go is that all the other that's all the ones on the board right yeah none i can't see so okay let's go let's go top let's go bottom to top this guy attacks me uh with a two strength of two two thank you hey wait i'm gonna react only one of those okay well i also should have drawn up oh wait we're still we're still doing that yeah yeah uh so just one less or just one period one less yeah one so i took one yeah um the second one i'm gonna react guard play this when you are targeted by an attack before dice are rolled i attack first with strength three nice come on who are you going to hit if the attacker is defeated they don't attack maybe i should have played it on this one because they've been one hit would have killed him but i'm hoping for two minutes and this guy does not attack because he's now flipped off the board all right now you're okay go ahead and you can roll them uh yep i'm out of reactions though sorry so it's two to attack me yep one damage and then the other guy yep nothing nice sweet all right and that was all the steel clams and that and their card does not have a moon symbol and now i drop that but i don't it's not my turn right oh okay okay it doesn't matter yet but that's that's how the game goes yeah i used a reaction card i only draw on my turn although it's my turn now but it's only at the end right correct so i mean okay you don't use as many cards as you can as you kind of think you might in this game they're expensive and situational sometimes okay uh however i do have a pretty good card i might want to use can nikki shoot through you yep i'm like uh that movie where you bend the bullets around uh wanted okay yeah very very skillful yes you invented that whole thing ten years before all right um okay uh i have a i have a good card that can damage the main bad guy yes but shouldn't we just go for the discs i mean yes all damaging him does is the problem is he moves two every time you have to like move it far to gain some basically you two need to work together to get it going on while i deal with these two steel guys right now the other idea is but there's an attack there's another disc up here as well but if we attack him then he goes back here he does skip one turn i am going to move one and move the disc one two three i can move this three times because it's still adjacent to me okay now he can't reach the disc with a do with a two move and if he keeps doing that card which he keeps doing all right hey robo suit combat although now i've left myself open to being attacked by the bad guy yeah xanatos uses this attack twice great and lightning bolt means he places a new steel clan token adjacent to him so if he rolls well he generates new minions so he would move except he's already adjacent to me and he's going to attack me strength of three oh okay at least it's not the five again yeah but it's twice yes to six uh let's see i don't have any reacts i don't have any shields all right uh skill tokens now they're just all for well this is this the hero yeah hearing yeah when you're attacking you're not attacking so uh he could he couldn't end the game right now yes he could kill me and there's two damage and a minion yeah yeah okay watch aaron roll three three three hits and end our game by being in the wrong place at the wrong time oh yeah what are you kidding me only two oh my god oh you didn't play that reaction card on i know on my turn i mean i knew i needed to do it because i'm not nervous i didn't think it was going to be this has got to be the worst card in his death but we have uh full house we have not played well let's say i thought this game was easy i was also i shouldn't have i didn't say it out loud but i also we had that early role where i rolled four blanks and one hit i was like uh i used up all our die luck already on that one great roll but we clearly had okay uh save me someone yeah i know i don't know exactly how we're gonna do that um um well get next to xanatos so he stops attacking me santa toast or toes yeah that was bad so me um i will move for three that's one action one two three and then i can well take out this i mean if you can yeah yeah yeah let me see if i got a stronger attack getting close to the bad guy headquarters was not a good idea i should have moved much further away um what does stunning do exactly uh it it makes the minions not the main villain not take their next turn okay that's what it does so then i will use and then it's it's only if you roll that symbol it's not automatic but i thought i'd try it sure so then i will use my trap which is if i if i'm attacking a minion he gets stunned if i roll a lightning bolt right and it's also an attack three so you may just kill him with it so it's a better attack than on my board and you did stun him you damaged him and stunned him so this minion is rotated and will not activate the next time he activates all right uh and i have one more action attack this guy okay let me see if i have another because if you just do two damage or this one is only oh but that one's next well no this one is already damaged they'll both move towards me and attack me if they can well these guys won't be a problem my normal see what i'm saying she might as well try and clean this one up instead of trying to damage this one twice check this out i'm checking you out check it out this does not cost me an accident oh so i will attack wow yeah i will attack so too with the range of three who are you attacking this dude yep yes wow done nice roll and i still have an action you do solve this because you have only used two so take this guy out yeah because you only need to start once okay so my normal thing so that's a two yep and my range is always three yep it's just a lightning bolt you could re-roll i think you should because it's bad for you because the guy can kill me okay so you re-roll both of those you just need any and one-handed attack you may roll any number of die okay okay nice hit hit yes okay but yeah no you saved my bacon well unless unless it's zanato's attacking whoever's next yeah it is oh it is laser blast and it's the five die attack oh my gosh wow i should have just attacked him no you i mean there were three dudes that were going to attack me or you yeah okay you you had an incredible turn it's not your fault that i lost us the game here you go nikki roll five dice zero hits so that uh we have to save aaron i don't die poor lexington mr lexington blank snow two hits wow i i'm sort of impressed because i thought this game was super easy when they started yes and it ganged up and killed defeated one of the heroes so quickly well the downer is i actually had some good stuff so coming upcoming was i would have chosen two targets and dealt two damage well these have been gone i have an automatic three damage but it takes three of my four action points and really doing three damage the one that i was waiting to play on him i just need to be near him was this one finishing blow so it's ooh it's five dice range one and then any lightning deal it would have taken him out for at least you know because he he he doesn't die he just has to re uh to come back at five damn so this was like a lot of co-op games they seemed deceptively simple until the system gangs up on you and shows you how quickly things can snowball i honestly did think in the first few turns that we had this so well in hand well the game was too easy very strange that it hit specifically like where we were at well and that was just i mean like every game with a deck of cards you're going to know it a little bit better and so we might avoid clustering on the movie studio and this area but that's also near where the discs start and the scenario is sort of made sure sure but yeah it's still it's is it a separate deck of cards this is a separate okay i thought that it was the same deck i'm like wow it's all separate every time so what do you think lincoln i think it's really fun i think it's a a great introduction to um miniature uh games right like there's a lot of great miniature games out there and this does those types of things very simply um it's not too complicated i do agree that the symbols aren't great but but they you can see which they are they're more differentiated or colored or something yeah move i mean they make sense they do the move is that they're just maybe too small i don't know move is the correct the slide is correct the attack is fine i do wish there were colors though yeah red attack would be great i don't know or an our foot symbol for moves yeah or something like that they do all kind of look the same but it's still it's still clear i mean once you know just fine once you know it it's no problem it's just it's from our regular game play stuff you know okay yeah i don't have a problem with it okay because i read it as there's your actions in the circle the move is clearly a box with arrows yep oh i know and the targeting isn't you know they're attack looks like a little explosion by the second or third time you and you know that the range is the bottom value at the on every card and every character it may only be a problem the very first time you play sure they're all but from from any more than three feet away they're all black blobs with numbers yeah that's that's the only problem well that's our age more than anything yes that's true everything's everything's a black blob from more than two feet away from me i mean maybe for the icons anyways um i because i'm a graphics person artist person i like the idea of trying to do something different than having to do what people are used to which yep yeah i like i like every time after every hero action there's a phase there's a villain phase right because that just i mean they're terrible i don't even know what else one of those cards i guess it was this one was the really awful one and i and i think that that's the worst one in this particular deck in fact we did draw the only two villain attacks in a row we we drew bad right a lot of these just have an effect or the the mini minions which we were taking care of activate so or you know three of them teleport the bad guys somewhere else in the city so we do we literally all three of those because i think we only saw two uh no the third one we didn't see is see no we saw c3 oh it's just g7 and f7 so it's actually these two both on top of the movie studio he loves the movie studios wants to be in pictures he's ready for his uh close-up uh so we we just had some bad luck but uh what do you think i i it surprised me a little bit actually i i did think it was going to be sort of basic and and almost easy to get through for experienced gamers like ourselves but i like you know i love games with variable hero powers and variable scenario layouts and variable setups these cardboard buildings are a little bit of a pain to tear up tear down and set up but they make a very cool thematic yeah i'm not picturing it you can actually see them but they're they're pretty i think this one's visible on the camera but they're they're actually quite dramatic and very and they're real and they're pretty simple to set up once you're done it's not that bad uh but they do make a very striking board very cool theme um and i think you know the miniatures are pretty cool each scenario has its own flavor they're very much made for taylormade for a little bit of expansions if the game does gives you all the types of act the way games work with a skirmish type game right it has all those types of things happening because it's all close combat basically and a little bit of a ranged attack and it's it simplifies it but it's it's actually pretty great i mean that's not their goal is to prepare you for bigger and better um for miniature type games but but it really does do for more add-ons to this game oh yeah that's my take in a nutshell is i thought it was going to be super simple and it did surprise me with not exactly complexity but with well the system into our week we didn't send our weakest uh non-combat player right into it he was a quick guy and he got any paid for it but now we know you know that was a first-time mistake i actually enjoy it i mean the end of the game turned my opinion around pretty much because like aaron i was thinking it's simple we've got it we're seasoned um co-op players we're so over confident yeah i know right and then bam well the worst card came out number two right yeah so that's right it was like all of a sudden trouble but that's how co-op games are that's how co-op games will go with a system that's working against you the interesting thing about this character i just looked at the cards for elisa and um she's an interesting combination of attack and support which um there were a bunch of support cards that i didn't even get to use in this um game but she also had a couple more really good attack cards usually if your support your support and you can't do much in the fighting department but so i thought that was an interesting mix after i looked at my cards i think it actually for we mentioned that none of us really have much familiarity with this show but i think just from your hero placard and your eight or nine cards in your deck it does a fairly good job of differentiating the characters and giving you some some real flavor of goliath is absolutely combat and stuff absolutely and i mean and i didn't have that much of an opportunity nimble climb and dive kind of guy it's definitely definitely gives the flavor comes out very well plus you get a lot of actions too four actions plus you know nikki got that one card that took no actions which was amazing used it perfectly i don't even know if i have anything like that i doubt it just because my stuff deals damage for sure it's not it's not mine are mostly about that was the the one reaction card i played was the one i had the only one in the deck at least it seems like all the decks may be like that so i have two reactions and almost you if we just had a one week or you should have let me roll the five guys let's see what that would have been i mean no any one hit would kill me and it is three hits on every duck three or four that's a pretty that's three that's the role i need all the time and i don't know as soon as i saw that card it was basically over but i did i really did put myself in what turned out to be a horrible space i should have spent that time you did what my house says into the fray so you went right into that and then and this is clearly like the junior baby non-combat gargoyle knowing nothing about the show yeah he's not the one you want to be surrounded by him he looks like he's white he does he's wide-eyed and innocent and now he's he's crumbled where she's like introducing herself or whatever she's holding up her badge but there's your character like the little dude going oh he is definitely looking up at all the bigger people oh lexington we we didn't know you well no i know we barely knew you well thanks for teaching us you bet i had fun and thanks to you for watching if you liked this video hit the
