WHAT! that's the biggest compliment, and I can't WAIT for you to get this to the table! hope this helps and can't wait to hear your thoughts about the game!
#howlers Your video has already helped, picked up on a few rules I had overlooked (I didn't realise you put 2 x S-Class Raiders on the board in set up). Hope your copy arrived soon. Love your content. Keep it up!
Absolutely loved this “how to play” video. The production of both the video and game are incredible. I saw so many unboxing and photos of parts of the game and it was all so overwhelming! This video explained things at a perfect pace. Thank you for this.
Played the Howlers faction for my first game last night. It was a lot of fun. I wasn't expecting it to be much different from Dwellings, but it was a couple notches above it in complexity. Everyone had a lot of fun and the Howlers go the W. Thanks for the video. It helped our group get familiar with the game before we played.
Great video! Watched this video twice before recieving my game, and once more before teaching it to two of my friends in my board game group. We had an absolute blast with the game and I played as the Wolfguardian Howlers and came out on top in the end against the Drakanaran Flamekeepers and the Funginar Sporegots. Great faction, now my mission is to play them all. Got in another 2-player game a few days later and hopefully I get a 5-player game on monday coming up. Keep up the great work!
Haven’t played yet. Playing tomorrow night with my 2 sons (14 and 16 years old). I can’t wait! So excited! Will let you know how it went. Playing the Pulsewar refugees, the Darkstar Acolytes and the Krawln. Thanks for your help. Your explanations went a little bit too fast for my taste, but were still very helpful. Thanks again!
@@boardgamedungeon432 we played last Friday. The teaching part is a little bit tough. The next teach should be better!!! Everyone loves the gameplay and of course, the components!!! It’s definitely a game with a learning curve that’s pretty steep Concerning what actions to take, which ressources to gather, which modules to get…. It was still fun and everybody can’t wait to play the next game!
@@TimChuon I know this is super geeky but I love the shots at 0:17 and 1:30. what are you using for a backdrop there? curious how you shot it. looks great!
Yes yes yes!!!! I am all in! Howlers! Watching the older content has been keeping me content. Your production level is The best presentation on the Internet. Can you slot Nebula Moons? Thank you for everything Tim. #ToTheEdge🚀🚀🚀 All In Backer #365
YESS I’m hyped for you Mark, thanks for watching till the end! Wonderful question-I don’t remember seeing anything about NOT being able to slot Nebula moons!
I think the only thing I didn’t hear yoh mention (because you can’t go over every little tiny thing) is the way some modules give everyone a resource. Do you plan on doing a video for the expansion stuff? Like the other locations, special moons and modules etc? Have you seen any big changes to the rules or factions from when you played before?😊
Just got my all in yesterday! Wolfguardian howlers looks nice! K so is this game a good as Dwellings at the same player counts or does it lean different? I prefer dwellings at 3-2 personally.
Great video, thanks! One question regarding your battle example (15:22): doesn't pink get the chance to reroll those die, that didn't reach their targeting value? If so, they could also roll a 6 and probably win. You ended before rerolling any die.
Great explanation! Howlers! Hey just wondering whether the module expansion add-on cards are just shuffled in with the base modules? If so, the plastic module tray can't hold all the sleeved module cards during gameplay.
Hey Dan thanks for watching! And yes you’re correct! You would shuffle them in, but i sleeve them as well so you’d split half the stack and leave the rest in the box
Question, for the development abilities, do you pick 1 of the 3 if you build that type of say observatory first or is one of the 3 card associated to a specific planet?
At 7:20 you list the options when going to the Maximus Field. I'm pretty sure you can also 6) Buy 1 Science, Discard 1 Science; or 7) Buy 1 Industry, Discard 1 Industry.
I didn’t realize you can rearrange the modules! This could work great for the howlers! Discard a slotted moon token, go up a track, rearrange the modules, then return to station grabbing another moon and slotting it (possibly getting points again from slotting it) and do this every time you return! That could be wild!
@@pvaughan007nevermind I just saw it on there. That must be one of the updated things. I think the old version you could. Still you could recall and get a moon, readjust modules and slit that look to score points again lol.
fun question! every faction i've played with/against (nearly all so far) definitely brings something different to the table, and there's no singular ability that stands out as OP
such a good question bc people easily miss this one! 1) Some tactics cards will have event triggers 2) Launching to Maximus/Odessa Field 3) Progress Tracks (as you've mentioned!) So if you play tactics cards often and constantly buy modules, this speeds up gameplay because events trigger and scoring happens
Question. It shows you only put 2 Sclass strikers on the board but my game came with four. Last night my wife and I played with all 4 and it went fine. Is there something in the rules or index I missed that says only put 2 Vert Strikers?
Ohhh daring with 4-that sounds fun! For starting raider setup (pg 4, sect 6), you’d place one raider for each die rolled, and there are two dice rolled total for starting setup! So you’d have two raiders to start with technically
Update!: I found the answer in the appendix. I was reading it wrong. “2 raider units always appear when S-class leaders emerge.(if possible, otherwise bring out as many as possible)” I forget that this isn’t Dwellings where the monsters “die” and don’t come back except for in specific situations. A raider always emerges when a new event happens and specifies what class raider is “spawned”. So your C class raider could be defeated in battle and then the next event could spawn it back. Therefore: You have a total of 4 Vert strikers but they only come out 2 at a time. If you only defeated one in battle and then the next event spawned them again there would be three on the board. If you have three on the board and they were spawned by an event, only one would come out. I hope this is cleared up for anyone else that likes to make rules too complicated.
Looking foward to this we just played dwellings of eldervale twice and for some reason we just found it ok. Had everything we should of likebl but We wanted to like it more then we did. High hopes for this version. Selling dwellings.
What was it about Dwellings that didn't click? The gameplay is very similar to Andromeda's (albeit AE is a lot more crunchy). Would hate for you to "waste" money as AE is basically a spiritual successor to Dwellings.
@@shaddles I have AE setup and read rulebook. I can already tell we will enjoy this more. We will see. Dwellings felt like a vanilla concept with great production. Had cool ideas but landed flat for us. AE is so much more refined and added to the foundation. But won't know for sure till we play it.
Howlers! Hello everyone, I just discovered this game for the first time through this video, and I was really interested in it. I wanted to find a game like this for my group of friends (we are 5-6 so I’ll need the expansion for the base game) and I started searching the internet for information, but I couldn’t find some. I see that it was a campaign to pledge and that it ended, but there is a retail version, I wanted to ask if anybody knows the period in which we could expect the retail to hit the shelves. Also I’m Italian and live in Italy, I have no problem playing in English but some of my friends don’t, especially one that is dyslexic. Does anybody know a possible date/period for an Italian localisation? Also what are the features that a retail version doesn’t have in regards to a deluxe edition from the pledge? Does the expansion cover those differences, or is the expansion not a “deluxe kit”? Thanks in advance
Hey there! Thanks for the interest! Here are a couple starter answers. 1. English retail is planned for November. 2. There are 4 retail products, base game, expansion, supernova upgrade kit, exotic matter promos. 3. Italian edition is planned but there is no timeline yet. Not sure when translation will start. Not sure if Italian market will order all 4 retail products 4. The supernova kit is the deluxe pieces, trayz, box, largely language independent 5. The expansion (escalation) is what gives the game solo and 5 player Hope all that helps!
Seems like you blurred "scoring event cards" with end game scoring - you went from explaining how event cards work (saying you score the progress track indicated, but don't explain how to score an individual track), then just go straight into end game scoring (without reinforcing what triggers the end of the game).
Am i the only one who is disappointed by the production quality? The game trayz insert doesn't fit the sleeved cards, that were shipped with the game. The player and module trays feel flimsy and don't assist the game. The player boards a year ago looked awesome and all they needed to do is upgrade them to double/triple layer cardboards. The module trays with the stickers look bad and sliding down the modules became fiddly. The wooden Moon tokens were stuck together and however i tried to seperate them, the moon tokens print was chipped afterwards. The intent was definitely there, but the execution fell short for me.

Can't wait to try this today. Howlers forever.

LETS DO THIS!

Hey Dan thanks for watching! And yes you’re correct! You would shuffle them in, but i sleeve them as well so you’d split half the stack and leave the rest in the box
@@TimChuon Thanks man 🤘
Question, for the development abilities, do you pick 1 of the 3 if you build that type of say observatory first or is one of the 3 card associated to a specific planet?
All of the development abilities are the same per type. So all observatories have the same 1x power. Great question!
any chance you will do a how to solo video?
At 7:20 you list the options when going to the Maximus Field. I'm pretty sure you can also 6) Buy 1 Science, Discard 1 Science; or 7) Buy 1 Industry, Discard 1 Industry.
That is correct. The discard can be from any of the remaining 5 in the field
I didn’t realize you can rearrange the modules! This could work great for the howlers! Discard a slotted moon token, go up a track, rearrange the modules, then return to station grabbing another moon and slotting it (possibly getting points again from slotting it) and do this every time you return! That could be wild!
You cannot discard a slotted moon for the howl ability. :) otherwise we love this wolf domination theory!
@@pvaughan007 where does it say you can’t discard a slotted moon?
@@pvaughan007nevermind I just saw it on there. That must be one of the updated things. I think the old version you could. Still you could recall and get a moon, readjust modules and slit that look to score points again lol.
When you do Repair action do you repair all your damaged ships in Scrapyard or just one of them?
Repair gives you one repair action only! So you’d only be able to move one of your damaged ships down to the repair barge!
Can I discard tactics cards willingly to free up hand for better ones ?
Can moon tokens be swapped outside modules, so tactical operations moon, is it permanent for whole game once Yoy slot it or .. ?
When you were rolling and rerolling based on your targeting, what was the point of that if it's not used in combat?
#howlers love your videos and can't wait for my all in to come in
How did you get the All-In without washes on the minis? That's exactly what i wanted, but couldn't find a pledge for it.
When you buy a second module, must this be from the same color module or can you buy 2 different colors?
You can buy two different colors as long as it’s part of the options available from Maximus/odessa field!
Howlers
That is a crunchy game!
Ouah !! Great !! Thank you !!
Are the factions balanced or some are definitely overpowered?
They’re all overpowered.
@@lukelaurie This is the way!
@@lukelaurie #ToTheEdge

Sustain cards are active until the I return all ships to station ?
howlers, how do events get triggered other then getting to the end of the track?

1) Some tactics cards will have event triggers

3) Progress Tracks (as you've mentioned!)
