I saw this at my FLGS a few days ago and was curious how it played. This was perfectly and clearly explained and has convinced me to go back and pick it up. Sounds like another good PWH game for our collection.
Excellent overview, as always, Rodney! At first I thought this was gonna be quacks remixed, but it seems to be so much more. Looks and sounds pretty fun! Thanks Rodney, you rock, man!!
12:00 can I get some clarification regarding this rule. Are you saying that, while normally you could make multiple groups of 3 runes to act as wild as long as one non wild of the specific colour is used, are you saying that this changes once you use the learnt spell for the single wild? Eg, I want to learn a 3 spell of white, I have 1 white and 4 more runes iny possession. 3 of those runes all have the same image and the 4th rune has an image like that of the blue card I have learnt. Can I make up my 3 card like this or must I instead either wait for enough runes to do the wild without activating the spell or upgrade my blue to allow the 2 rune wild rune?
I'll be honest, I found the question and example a bit hard to follow (it's not always easy to describe visual things in text), so let me say it this way: If you use the Blue Spell showing on screen at 12:00 to "Learn a new spell", then you CANNOT use the normal way to create wilds that was described earlier in the video. The "only" wilds you can use when performing that Blue spell to Learn a spell, IS the method provided by the Blue spell. You can still use Wilds in the normal way, for example, when using the Evening effect to Learn a Spell. Hope that helps.
Collected it today. NOT impressed with the 'bowl' thingy - somewhat flimsy IMO. Will get a little bowl instead. Rest of the game is great tho - esp the artwork!@@WatchItPlayed
Game looks fun, but from what I saw it seems the familiar is kinda just a point dumper? I saw 1 card that interacts a bit with the familiar giving points for each of a specific rune you stored in the familiar. Are there more interactions with the familiars? Because as fun as the spell system looks, the familiar looks a bit uninteractive.
In the rulebook on page 8 (Altar refilling) it states 'If there are 10 or more Materia on the altar' - would there ever be a situation where they'd be more than 10 on there?
I bought the game and watched this video it was very helpful but my game comes with 8 familiar boards there's a unicorn an owl platypus and octopus but only have speel cards for the dragon the cat the gargoyle and the voodoo looking guy any body who this point me in the direction as to why and where I can buy spell cards for the remaining familiar boards?
You should only have 4 familiars (see here for the game contents: www.spacecowboys.fr/spellbook-en). Maybe you have a special edition, or some bonus components?
I've only played it two player, so there's that :) I avoid offering opinions on how enjoyable something is to play, as that's going to vary so much from person to person. What I like, someone else might not care for - but hopefully the video does a good job of explaining the rules of the game.
Do I have those game? No. Will I watch this video anyway? Yes
Appreciate you checking it out!
@@WatchItPlayed I appreciate all your content! Your videos are indispensable to the board game community!

Thanks for the kind words, and for checking out the video!
Nice update. Great video as always. Glad you clarified the blue spell rule.
I appreciate being notified about the error so I could!

This was helpful.. thanks man
My pleasure! Have fun playing :)
My nearest game shop has this game in stock! May pick it up - It looks good.
Have a great time playing!

@@dianebusby7047 Did you use the included tape, to bind the open sides together? I found that worked for me.
Tape? I saw no tape in there.@@WatchItPlayed
Great video! Love the designer so I’m sure it’s great.
PWH has a solid track record!
Looks like an interesting game, and one that my friend might like for his birthday 👍
If you pick it up, I hope you get a chance to play it together!
Hi Rodney, do u have How To Play on Flamecraft?
I don't have one for that game yet.
This never happens! Now I know you are not a robot!
Oh, it's happened :) But I try to ensure it doesn't!
I FIND IT VERY INTERESTING
Thanks for checking it out!

I shot this long enough ago I don't recall, but I do think, in general, the familiar is meant to always give you a place to generate points.
In the rulebook on page 8 (Altar refilling) it states 'If there are 10 or more Materia on the altar' - would there ever be a situation where they'd be more than 10 on there?
Perhaps due to some combination of effects on cards?
they really wanted to make sure that those materia don't work well in coin capsules with that shape lol. Or are those not cardboard?
They are not cardboard.
They are nice, plastic tokens.

@WatchItPlayed yeah I dunno doesn't say special edition on it but I have 8 familiar board that's weird
It's the alternate art extras! The owner of my game shop ordered some separately to make the special offer I bought.
Does it play well with 2 people?
I've only played it two player, so there's that :) I avoid offering opinions on how enjoyable something is to play, as that's going to vary so much from person to person. What I like, someone else might not care for - but hopefully the video does a good job of explaining the rules of the game.
Thank you
You're very welcome!
Let's gooo!!!!!
There were 404 upvotes when I started watching so I added mine just to make sure RUclips doesn't turn it into a dead link -_-
