    just ordered my copy. can't wait!
    That player vote on the first player token not moving is big. With the way the game is set up, the person who goes last in the current round goes first in the next. This gives the Betrayer the opportunity to set-up an unimpeded two-turn sabotage. Now there's the risk that players will catch on to what is about to happen. With the new vote system they can effectively stall-out the betrayer's pay-off turn for the chance to counter. As a result the betrayer can now no longer act with impunity on these back-to-back turns.

    Dead of Winter is the only zombie game that my friends enjoy playing (in spite of how much I love Last Night On Earth and all of it's expansions). When I found out about this sequel I immediately pre-ordered it. The original is one of the best games in my huge collection. I can't wait for this new one to arrive, and thanks to this video I'll be able to jump right in more or less without having to read the rule book to see how the new modules play and merely keep it on hand for detail references.

    So we finally played a game the other night and it was tough (but two of us won) and fun! One question a friend of mine had was if the racxxon location counted as one of the locations needed to help complete the colony objective for "Tribute". We pretty much needed two cards from every location under the objective before the game ended. Thanks again for the awesome video and help!

  • @anthonyle7928
    @anthonyle7928 8 лет назад

    Love the game! And thank you for the video. A point in need of clarification.
    "Although an exploding trap at that location will still remove [Special Zombie] (9:49)."
    This contradicts the rulebook: "Other game effects such as items and character abilities that do not involve an attack, or explosive traps that would normally kill a zombie does not affect special zombies. (Pg.18)"
    So does triggering an explosive trap on a location with a pre-existing special zombie kill the special zombie or not? Thank you.

    • @MaximumImpactGames
      @MaximumImpactGames 8 лет назад

      No. It only kills it if it were the zombie to trigger the barricade/exploding trap.

    Here is my only question regarding the game, from just doing a first play through with some friends tonight. Rosa Rodriguez's special ability states "Non-colony: Once per round, during your turn, you may kill 1 zombie or 1 bandit at Rosa's location. Do not roll for exposure". We played that this meant you had to spend an Unused Action Dice to "Attack" and that this special ability meant that you just didn't roll for exposure. However, when looking at other characters abilities that specifically stated whether they required an Action Dice or not, I'm no longer sure we were playing this right. This same question would apply to the text on the special ability for the sniper Kevin Jackson. So, do you need to spend a Action Dice when using Rosa Rodriguez or Kevin Jackson's special abilities?

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  8 лет назад +1

      No die is required for her ability. It's a free kill.

    2. Special zombie in Raxxon: This is what I think you mean in the video:
    In the Colony phase, :
    __If there are Dice that match the "Containment code" :
    + Thumb up option win : we'll remove the top card of Raxxon's Experiment cards...
    + Thumb down option win: we'll remove 3 zombies at the colony but we have to unleash the special zombie at a random location (roll the dice)
    __ If there are no Dice that match the "Containment code" : we unleash the speacial zombie at random location (roll the dice)

    Regarding Raxxon and the experiments - whether the vote was Thumbs Up or Thumbs Down, a new experiment will apply for the following round, correct? So, the main difference is just whether the experiment is discarded (contained) or a special zombie is placed. It's mildly unclear.

    Hi,
    Great video!
    I had a few questions regarding Dead of Winter (TLN) that I was hoping you could please help with:
    1) There are two survivors in the deck who’s special abilities only positively help the Raxxon & Improvement modules (Chimp and another I have forgotten the name of). When playing a normal game excluding the modules, do you exclude these survivors when handing out the initial 4 survivors to the players? This would therefore mean that there are only 18 survivors instead of 20. And also on a 5 player game, would mean, two players only have a pool of 3 survivors to pick their main 2 from
    2) If, for any reason, all survivors are now in the game and you draw an outsider card. This card is now essentially useless and has no value, correct? Is there anything else than can be done with ‘useless’ cards?
    Thanks very much in advance!

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  4 года назад

      1) I don't believe they included specific instructions about that, so I'm not sure what the answer there would be. I did find this thread bout that, but it doesn't have any real answers either: boardgamegeek.com/thread/1698552/not-enough-survivors
      2) I would be surprised if you ran out of survivors before the game ended. Has this happened to you, or are you just speculating?

      @kashtastic6198 4 года назад

      Watch It Played thanks for your quick replies. I’ll check out the thread. It hasn’t happened yet, only speculating. The “Tribute” mission in a 2 player game means the two players start with 4 survivors each, which is why I thought this may be possible.

    I get the sense here that, unlike with the Lords of Waterdeep expansion where you have the option to combine both Overmountain and Skullport with the base game, Dead of Winter: The Long Night would best be played with just one module at a time. True?
    I greatly admire Plaid Hat for allowing this expansion to also be able to serve as its own standalone game. It'd be interesting if other devs followed suit.

    • @WatchItPlayed

    Thanks for your instruction, but i have 3 question in raxxon module:
    1. If survivor not to move in Raxxon, the audio log special zombie will not actived, is it right?
    2. When we contribute unused action dice for code to stop special zombie, other players who are not in the Raxxon, can contribute or just survivor in Raxxon ?
    3. If more than 1 survivor in Raxxon, the audio log for special zombie will active more than 1 or just 1 ?

      You get improvement tokens from character abilities, card, etc. Various sources you'll find around the game.
      You place special zombies by rolling a die for each one, and putting it at the matching location.

    Hi Rodney. Fantastic videos (Dead of Winter, Ashes...)
    This is my first contact with this series, I've bought Long Night and already played only two times. I understood all rules but still have problem with basics - special ability of some survivors or equipments - I mean if die shall be used, with some minimum value or just 1+.
    Could you help please? I cannot find detaild explanation for it :( Ashes cards are explained one by one and everything in in the Web. For this game I have a huge problem.
    I play in Polish language version so it is not simple to find all because I do not know every origin name of the card but charakters' names are the same fortunately.
    Examples:
    #Kevin Jackson - do I need to use a die (attack action) to use his skill once per round ?
    #Emma Han - do I need to use a die (search action) to use her skill once per round ?
    I am playing Raxxon episode when she additionally has new ability / equipment to see and get one card more when searching in Raxxon. Can these abilities be combined or have to be done separately ?
    #book card "help yourself": (3+) once per round you can check 4 cards and take one. This is like search action but have to use dice 3+ to use this no matter which search skill value survivor has?
    #... enough :)

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  8 лет назад +2

      Kevin Jackson: No die is required. If you needed to spend a die for this effect they's show something like (4+) in the effect, meaning you'd need to spend a die of 4 or more. For Kevin's ability, it's an instant zombie kill, once per round.
      Emma Han: No die is required (for the same reason as Kevin's).
      Book: Yes, you have that right. Keep in mind, in a Search action you can spend noise tokens to draw more cards, in this case, you can't, because although it is like a Search action, it isn't a search action.
      Hope that helps!

    Hello! Nice video!! I'm from Brazil and i've just received my copy of the game, and i have 2 questions, if you can help me to figure it out...
    1- Do the Raxxon zombies come out EVERY ROUND, unless someone goes to Raxxon and spend dices to avoid it? Or just when someone goes there to explore? Do they come out even if NO ONE has gone to Raxxon??
    2- About Bandits hideout... zombies are killed by a different method there, right, like it says on the table "explore" and "attack", we must roll a die, it's ok. But what if I have a grenade launcher equipped on a survivor who is in the Library, for example, can I kill 2 zombies there are at the bandits hideout normally, by not looking at the table "attack" mode? Because it says this weapon can kill zombies on any location, I want to know if it includes the bandits hideout location too...
    Thank you so much for your help!! Again, great video, it helped me a lot : ) Merry Christmas!!!

    • @WatchItPlayed

    @christianb4217 8 лет назад +1

    So, I'm slightly confused... Can you not use weapons or abilities to kill the special zombies? Like when you have the pistol on one of your survivors, that says you don't have to roll for exposure when killing a zombie, I can't use it? Also, what is the rule of placing special zombies, when they come in pairs? I had a hard time understanding the whole raxxon thing when I read it, and I am still not sure I get it...

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  8 лет назад +1

      From the rule book we find: "Special zombies can only be killed with a regular attack. Other game effects such as items and character abilities that do not involve an attack, or explosive traps that would normally kill a zombie do not affect special zombies."
      So in this case, you can use your pistol against a special zombie, because that is used during a regular attack.
      Not quite sure I know what your question is regarding the pairs specifically. Typically, if a rules question comes up that relates to card effects, I try to direct them to the publisher for that, as I would just be making my best guess :)

    • @christianb4217
      @christianb4217 8 лет назад

      Thanks for the quick reply. I guess that means that the sniperrifles and other stuff that has the once per turn (without stating "when performing an attack") don't work on special zombies then. No more comfortable shots from safety ;-)The other question stemmed from a misunderstanding (once again) when reading the rules. I figuered it out thanks to this video and some more reading of the rules.

    Suppose a player has been found out to be a Traitor, voted to exile and handed his Exiled Secret Objective.
    It's requirements for victory are to have a card of each type in his hand, the player makes a search, and draws the last card required. Does he automatically wins as the criteria is met? Or he has to wait until the effect 5 of the Colony Phase to declare that he has achieved his secret objective?

      Remember, the game only ends if:
      1) The morale track reaches 0 the game ends immediately. Do not check to see if the main objective has been completed.
      2) If the round track reaches 0 the game ends immediately. Do not check to see if the main objective has been completed.
      3) The main objective is completed.
      A player completing their secret objective does not end the game. Completing your secret objective just determines whether or not you win, when the game does end.

    • @Daeva001
      @Daeva001 8 лет назад

      The containment code dice are from your personal pool, that you rolled for the turn. In essence, your character at Raxxon is spending the effort that would normally go into searching or fighting to keep the zombies contained.

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  8 лет назад

      You spend your Action dice for the containment code. I say they returned to the supply at the end of the round, because you always build your dice pool at the start of each new round - so that's when you would collect any dice (for new survivors you gained in the previous round, and for dice that were spent on containment codes).

      +2ofdee Not in front of my copy right now to help you with the second part, but yep, a special zombie is placed every round if not prevented.

      thanks. I still can't find if the raxxon zombies are placed always on the school/police/gas station or are they placed in colony aswell (i think you can vote thumbs down and place it on any colony location, but i might be wrong) if the zombie escapes by not putting dices can he be placed at colony? Does the "random location" always means anywhere but the colony?

      Random means roll the dice and place on the location matching the number. This means you'll never randomly place things on the colony, or any location that does not have a number from 1-6.

      that's why i got confused since colony location also have 1-6 positions for zomies

    Thanks Rodney! Looking forward to picking up this expansion, since I own and enjoy the base game. I'm a little intimidated with the bandits module, but Raxxon and improvement modules do look intriguing.

      You may find it best to introduce one at a time to ease into it :)

      I'd preorder it. After the first Dead of Winter came out it took months to find at stores.
