Hello, 1) where do you spawn your heroes? 2) how many times one hero can attack? as much as their energy cubes? 3) for the first movement you have bones moves and is it free to move? 4)When you activate a villain, dont you use energy cubes to attack ? 5) does heroes has a turm limit to defuse a bomb? 6) do you need to activate the tile inorder to respawn for energy?
1. There are numbers in the mission book layout for each mission. (1st, 2nd, 3rd) and when selecting from available Heroes you’ll notice in the mission book they are separated in the same way (1st, 2nd, 3rd). So the heroes you select go into the corresponding slots. It’s explained in our video “ Mission set up part 9” 2. Yes. As long as they can afford it you. But you can’t spend more energy cubes then the max amount allotted for that action. 3. Correct. 4. For villains you only pay to activate. They get 1 attack for free. 5. Bombs don’t have turn limits but each mission does have a turn limit. The first mission if I remember correctly ends after seven turns. So if you haven’t neutralized enough bombs by the end of turn seven the heroes lose. 6. I’m not sure I’m understanding the question
In round 2 for Red Hood you should have to paid 2 cubes for movement since the minigun puts him at 6 which knocks his bonus movement to 0. So any movement should cost an energy cube right?
Just a heads up jumping down in to sink a city is 2 move points. Unless you have the batcape it’s given in an example but the move cost isn’t printed on the board itself
By Far best filmed Batman game on youtube yet!! awesome. i didnt back the game but i loved to see some gameplay u guys did an awesome job. left a sub :D
3:52 Catwoman doesn´t spend energy cube for move :D Heroes have "bonus movepoint" on your 1st move, but still she must pay for the first move (correctly or not ?) and 17:03 (Catwomans move) is right in my opinion - she spend 1 energy cube for 1 move point, and she have +3 additional "bonus move" point . Maybe I just misunderstood the rules. Sorry
Jakub Bačo Regarding first thing. I didn’t pay any cubes for her movement because she has a bonus of 3 and enough special skills to avoid all the hindering costs. The second time you mentioned I moved her 4 spaces so I had to pay for the additional 1
I'm a little confused on Bane venom injected melee attack. He has 2 black dice with a 1 over the or 2 yellow dice with a 3 under them. What do the numbers, 1 and 3,mean. I understand I choose 1 other other. Also, when Reinforcement Points were spent, I thought you could EITHER, power up and OR bring in reinforcements. Not both.
This is the best play though video I have seen so far. I few minor misses on rules but that always happens during a gaming session. You two did a great job of representing a gaming session. On a side note, I love your gaming table. Perfect size drop.
Board Game Coffee The day I have gaming session with out missing a rule here or there I'll let you know. I turn 50 this year and it hasn't happened yet. Thanks for your commitment to the hobby. I should add that I'd commented on an earlier post you were a bit over the top. I thought your presentation on this one was spot on.
The Taser Gun (if that's what he has, as you only say "taser") should give Batman an extra orange die plus an extra automatic point of electricity damage if it gets past the enemy's defense. Thus, the first thug would have had a damage of 6 (not 5) dealt upon him. Nevertheless, great video!
socialcommentary I’ll have to bring that up next time I talk to Monolith since they approved this video. How dare they make me look like a fool!!! Lol But in all seriousness 😐 Glad you liked the video :)
@@BoardGameCoffee Thanks for the quick reply and Monolith's insight would be great! In the meantime, probably adding the extra point of electricity to the overall damage total is the easiest/sanest thing to do because... Checking back over the rulebook, I found the automatic success part of an item can be found on p. 23/24 (subsection 6.5), but then on p. 43 it says "An automatic success is a success that is always added to the obtained result during the Calculate the Number of Successes step," which complicates the electricity/poison skills rules, which say: "Allows its possessor, if they manage to exceed their opponent’s defense, to inflict [X] automatic wounds, before the attack’s wounds are inflicted. The rest of the wounds are then applied as usual." If we weren't already confused, the game rules hierarchy prioritizes skill rules over game rules. Therefore, just adding the extra electricity damage to the total might be the best course of action. (And now I feel like a lawyer...in a good way?) Apologies for the long comment! My copy of the game is scheduled to arrive in about 2 weeks or so, and your videos have been extremely helpful as I familiarize myself with the rules beforehand! Thanks again!
7:00 - 8:45 Why are you allowed to split the damage of your mini gun among different targets (villain's characters) in different areas? Is this a special ability of the mini gun? Isn't the manual saying that you have to determine your target and than roll dice, than reroll, than defend, than deal damage?
When you first activate the event to inject Bane he does not get an activation. He gets an activation on every subsequent turn you activate that event. So once he’s injected he will get faster. But he does take damage. So in short first time you activate the event: No Bain does not get activated. The second time you activate that event and he’s already injected, then yes he does get activated.
qu3tzl Good You mean in the play through? That would be correct. That’s the thing with play throughs you miss things 🤬 It wasn’t a scripted play through so much like a normal play session the odd mistake is made from time to time. Good catch
@@BoardGameCoffee Yeah not trying to backseat game or something. Love the content. Monolith should link to your channel from the KS page if they haven't already. My copy should have arrived yesterday but DPD sent it back to the depot because "the adress is invalid". Hope they sent it again on Monday and not just back to the hub...
No that’s absolutely fine, when we start doing more play throughs we’ll encourage people to find errors we make. Since they’re not scripted plays it’s easy to just miss something, especially when you’re concentrating on talking to the camera the whole time lol. So thanks for pointing it out it’ll make it less likely that we missed that again next time
Jonathan Wisner Have fun :) And remember. It’s more of a strategy game for the good guys, and less of a run and gun. Plan ahead and chose your team wisely :)
Each mission tells you how many cubes you start with, indicating how many to move from the reserve zone to fatigue zone. So in the first mission “To Sink a City”, Batman starts with six energy cubes in his reserve and five in his fatigue zone. Once the round starts (if Batman is active) You move 2 cubes from the fatigue zone into the reserves for that round.
Quite possible, haven’t seen the video in a while. It’s also possible I didn’t have enough remaining to make him attack but I would have to review the footage to say for sure. That’s the thing with unscripted play throughs, You tend to miss the odd rule here in there. Especially when you’re concerned about speaking to the camera at the same time ha ha
Luv how yall just got into playing, instead of taking 30 to 40 minutes explaining everything which is ok, but other videos literally talk and 5 minutes of play than 30 minutes talking...they made it look tedious...😅😅
We actually do tend to do that normally, but since we had a bunch of how to play videos I didn’t think it was necessary :) Glad you liked it though. Thanks for the input
@@BoardGameCoffee early do appreciate it...don't know if you've done a video yet on other versions of game play...like the versus or solo mode, and especially the batmobile add on. Would really like to see that
I have not. And the way my schedule is set up. As of now it does not look like that would be happening. Unfortunately. It would give me an excuse to sit down and play with the Batmobile lol.
16:10 instead of re-rolling both dice and spending two energy cubes, couldn't you just spend 1 die to do the action again (and thus saving you one die)?
after watching these videos we see why your channel is becoming one of the best! Congratulations for your great videos! Greetings from Brazil.

Ah okay. Thanks a lot for your quick answer!
BKone I like to help when I can :)
We need this one in tabletop simulator!
I’ll sign that Petition :)
Shouldn't you perform immediate Bane activation after event resolution (reinforcement + venom injection)?
When you first activate the event to inject Bane he does not get an activation. He gets an activation on every subsequent turn you activate that event. So once he’s injected he will get faster. But he does take damage. So in short first time you activate the event: No Bain does not get activated. The second time you activate that event and he’s already injected, then yes he does get activated.
Shouldn't Red Hood have used 2 cubes to move with his minigun due to encumberance?

Tune in June 4th for Kickstarter season 2!
What Mason Said :)
I've got one extra all in if interested!
Hi, can I use the Versus expansion to play any scenarios, if there are only two players in the game?
To be honest I’ve have not played the versus yet. My knowledge is limited to the core game and it’s main rule set.
Thanks for these videos giving this game my first try tomorrow
Jonathan Wisner Have fun :) And remember. It’s more of a strategy game for the good guys, and less of a run and gun. Plan ahead and chose your team wisely :)
@@BoardGameCoffee Thanks, a buddy of mine is coming over and we will take turns playing hero's and villain :)
At the beginning why did you place three energy cubes in the fatigue? Usually we just play all the cubes in reserve.
Each mission tells you how many cubes you start with, indicating how many to move from the reserve zone to fatigue zone. So in the first mission “To Sink a City”, Batman starts with six energy cubes in his reserve and five in his fatigue zone. Once the round starts (if Batman is active) You move 2 cubes from the fatigue zone into the reserves for that round.
First Batman attack forgot his combo ability
Quite possible, haven’t seen the video in a while. It’s also possible I didn’t have enough remaining to make him attack but I would have to review the footage to say for sure. That’s the thing with unscripted play throughs, You tend to miss the odd rule here in there. Especially when you’re concerned about speaking to the camera at the same time ha ha
Board Game Coffee hehe it’s all good. Your videos were awesome!
Thx man :)
Fun video, thanks
Np
At around the 8:00 mark, you shoot multiple enemies with the mini gun.
I thought you can only shoot 1 enemy and extra successes are wasted.
The mini gun has the burst ability (level 3), which allows me to spend any remaining successes on extra enemies
Cool thanks for the info. Just got it today. Thanks for doing all these excellent videos.
