    Seriously, thank you for making this. These videos would have saved me a ton of time when I tried learning the game last year. A small note (already mentioned, but bears repeating): rolling a '6' with the hunt die means the shadow draws a hunt tile (it's a successful hunt). The fellowship is not revealed if the drawn tile does not have a reveal icon on it.

    I have never watched your channel before, but found this when i was looking for a how to play on War of the rings, and i must say, as someone as looks at alot of how to play videos, that this was the best one i have ever seen, good pace and really clear graphics on screen. Most ppl are trying to get it done as quick as possible, but i feel you nailed the time, the pace, the content, yea 10/10. Big thanks!

    You expressed a little confusion about the reveal icon when resolving the effects of a hunt, and offered an explanation that was a little off-kilter. This is because you're confusing the "reveal" mechanic with the "successful hunt" mechanic. It's entirely possible to have a successful hunt that does not reveal the fellowship. The fellowship is revealed only if the hunt has a reveal icon.
    If the hunt tile does not have a reveal icon, they can move, take some damage, and move again on the very next die they spend.

    Excellent video! However, your Reveal/Hunt information is wrong. A successful 'hunt' roll DOES NOT automatically reveal the Fellowship. Only a reveal icon on a pulled tile may do so.

  • @jotaeme7436
    @jotaeme7436 Год назад +4

    16:40 That's incorrect. The Fellowship is revealed only if there's the corresponding icon in the tile. The hunting may be successful and add damage to the ring bearers due to a tile and still not reveal their position.

    I just wanted to say that this tutorial is perfect. I just ordered a 2nd ed. reprint by local publisher and was looking for a good learning video. Thank you for your work. I'll watch all parts more than once. This is so much better than hitting the wall of text in the rulebook :)

    The fellowship is not revield with the success hunt. It is revield only when the tile with reviel icon is drawn. See example on p. 42 of the rolebook.

    @asierbouzas2679 5 лет назад

    I have a question. If you roll 2 dice for the hunt of the ring and manage to get 2 successes, do you draw 2 tiles? Or just one?
    Excellent video BTW

    12:38 Shadow player can change die result to only "Eye" (rulebook p. 21)

    • @christopherwintersvahn6087
      @christopherwintersvahn6087 Год назад

      Not only. SP may change a die into an “Eye” if they wish. This is specifically mentioned in the rulebook since FP cannot change their die into “Will of the West”. However, SP cannot change a “Eye” result to something else.
      So basically: SP can change a die into whatever they choose with the exception of a die that goes directly into the Hunt Box. (IE an “Eye”.)
