Hello and welcome to this set up tutorial
for the expansion “Expedition Leaders” which you can add to the board game “Lost
Ruins of Arnak”. I’ll explain things as if you are already
familiar with the base game. Here are the changes to how you normally get
it ready to play. First, there are two things to replace. The expansion has one new artifact card for
you named “Stone Key”. Take the old one out of the deck and out of
the game, and shuffle the new one in. And you get one updated assistant. The “Miner”, this one. Remove the old one, and replace it with the
new one. Now, you set everything up as usual with whichever
side up – I’m doing the one with the snake-side - except this right side of the game board. Leave that empty, because you have this new
board to place on top of that area. But before we do that, let me explain a few
additions. The expansion has several things you can add
to the items you already have. There are new cards for the artifact card
deck on the left side, make sure to shuffle those in. There are new cards for the items card deck
on the right side as well, add those to it during the set up. You get 4 new idol tokens, mix them in with
the rest before placing them. That also means you’ll have 4 idol tokens
left when you’re done. They can go somewhere away from the game board
for now. The expansion also gives you a few new assistants. If you’re using the game board with the
big bird side up, you can just add those new assistants to the rest and make three stacks
of 5. If you’re playing it with the snake-side
like me, then you have to make two stacks of 4, and then depending on how many players
there are you make a third stack of 3, or 4, or 5 assistants. The expansions gives you more. There are new tiles for level 1, mix those
in with the rest. New tiles for the guardians, the monsters. Make sure to add them. And a few new tiles for the level 2 stack. All right, now let’s add the new game board
that will cover the right side of the big game board. Keep in mind that this is optional. If you prefer the game with the original “Research”
track, go right ahead and do that. But if you want to play it with this board,
then you have two sides to choose from. There’s this side with the “Monkey Temple”. If you play it with this side up, then you
place the tiles like you do normally up here. The tiles that give you points, each stack
having the same number of tiles as there are players. I won’t put them down because I have to
show you the other side of the board in a moment. You also make a facedown stack of bonus tiles
on this space, as usual. Normally you would then start placing faceup
tiles on other spaces, but on this board you make two other facedown stacks here and here. Make the stack as big as the number of players. And finally, there’s this space. This is where you place one faceup “Artifact”
card. But, it specifically has to be one that costs
3 compass tokens to pay for. So keep flipping over the top card until you’ve
found one. Place it here faceup. The rest of the cards can be shuffled back
in, and placed back on its space up here. This is how you set up using the “Monkey
Temple”. If you’re more interested in the other side,
flip it over. The “Lizard Temple”. Remember that during the set up you had 4
idol tokens left? Well, they can go here. Make a facedown stack, and put it here next
to this space that shows the flame icon. And this space with a shape and depiction
you might already recognize, is where you place a “Guardian” tile facedown. There’s a monster here. For the rest of the set up you do the usual. Up here you make stacks of point tiles, these
ones. And then a facedown stack of bonus tiles here,
as normal. Finish it by placing one faceup bonus tile
on all of the other square spaces, making sure to not use all spaces if you’re not
with 4 players. Whichever side of the board you use, or if
you use the new Research board at all, this part is done. Now for some major changes for the players. These player boards that you probably know
well are not used when playing with the “Expedition Leaders”. Instead you can take this miniature version
of it, to show everyone which colour you are playing with. I’ll take yellow, so I have the board with
the yellow tents on it. You can also flip it over to show everyone
at the table you have passed and are out of the round. For now, I can place my workers on the tent. My yellow notebook and spyglass on top go
on the game board here, you already know this. This is where this expansion gets its name
from. Your new player board will be an expedition
leader! Every player is now a unique character with
unique abilities. There are 6 people to choose from. As always, you get this information sheet. When it’s time to assign the leaders, you
can do that anyway you like. You could do it randomly by taking these tokens
with their faces on them and see who gets who. You could decide that the last players gets
to pick first, and go anticlockwise from there. Or First Player gets first choice, it’s
up to you. As soon as you pick a leader, you take the
player board with that person on it. Most character come with an extra item that
you get during the set up. I’ll tell you each one, and I’ll list
them going from the easiest character to play with to the most complicated character to
use in this game. If you pick the Captain, you can take this
extra grey worker figure. If you get the Falconer, you get the little
falcon token. The Baroness has no extra items. You can choose the Professor, that comes with
the suitcase token. There’s the Explorer, who has three snack
tokens to use. And the last one is the Mystic, also no extra
items. When you've picked your character, then you
take the four cards that go specifically with that person. Each character has its own deck of cards. Add two "Fear" cards as usual, then place
the shuffled deck on your player board. We’re almost done. If you want, you can choose to not play the
game using this blue “Moon Staff”, but this new red “Moon Staff”. The only difference with this one is that
at the end of each round you don’t remove 1 card from either side of this staff but
2 cards from either side. If you want the red Moon Staff, remove the
blue one and place it here under round 1. That’s it, this is how you set up everything
for the “Expedition Leaders” expansion when you add it to the base game. If you’d like to have some information on
what the new way of playing is, then follow me to the tutorial. Thank you for watching. Feel free to leave a comment, and see you
for the next one.
