"a demon figure of some type or a ram that's really unhappy" accurate description of a deathclaw.
hahaha ;p
I love how he knew ghouls were healed by radiation but didn’t know what a deathclaw was 😂
Oh I most certainly know! Played endless hours of Fallout just more focused on teaching the game.
@@RollingSolo that makes sense, still made me laugh. It gave me the possibility that you went through hours of fallout 3 without managing to ever find one somehow 😂
Best tutorial on youtube by the way. Going slow and actually playing it helped me figure it out so much quicker, and this is my first big table top game at all so thank you.
This game needs all the expansions to really shine for solo play. Recommend all of them. Especially Atomic Bonds.
@@RollingSolo i bought the og with atomic bonds right off the bat.
The California expansion seems cool and im definitely getting next
Did you end up finding it?
Nice to see someone who rolls dice as unluckily as me. :D
haha That doesn't sound good for me...
Great video dude. I’m pretty new to boardgames this complex and found it a bit difficult to get my first game set up with the l2p guide. This video cleared up a lot and makes me want to play again. Tysm!
Thanks for letting me know! I’ve got a ton of great feedback on this one. It was fun!
Attacking a monster that doesn't have the Loot symbol is a waste of time. You spent three actions fighting plus took a Camp action's worth of damage all for 1 XP. There's no reason to fear the ranged attack of a level 1 creature. Even if it activated and attacked, you still have the same chance to kill it, only you might take one extra point of damage. I'll trade 1 damage for a free action every time. You would have been much better off heading straight to Diamond City, doing the Quest, and moving on. Now you're stuck with a Super Mutant Skirmisher, one of the toughest enemies of the game, hovering over you.
A couple other random things ...
-Synths have ranged attacks at start
-The Quest symbol is a vault door
-You don't put dead monsters on the bottom of the stack, they go into a discard pile. (see Component Limitations in the RR)
-Declaring Loyalty to a faction has nothing to do with scoring points for Agenda cards. Those two things are unrelated. You can always score Agenda cards regardless of your loyalty.
Thanks for watching and the feedback on the video! I was mainly going for XP to get my level progression moving as I will have to deal with that mutant sooner or later. I may have sounded more worried then I really was as I've killed a good number of them prior to this playthrough haha. Diamond City is the goal and I have more movement points then he will get activations to catch me. I don't mind playing chicken with him to further the main quest but I know we'll meet eventually. I need more gear is my side goal.
- I'm loyal to the institute so synths are on my side...for now! They do indeed have ranged.
- Not sure how I didn't see that icon as a vault door. Thanks for the heads up. I'll start referring to it as that in Part #3 as I've now filmed Part #2.
- I'll move the killed off monsters from the bottom of the discard piles in Part #3 as well. Good catch!
- For my particular agenda card it makes a huge difference. Agenda cards always score one point of influence. However, my agenda card also allows me the option to declare loyalty to get an additional loyalty point for every step the institute is higher on the faction track than the railroad. So it's directly related to scoring points for agenda cards. If I'm not loyal, I don't get those influence points and that agenda card only counts as 1 influence. You can however declare loyalty or go rogue on your turn when it suits you (to win the game for example). But avoiding hostile faction members in the Wastelands is a wise side benefit as well.
Cheers!
Rolling Solo Reread that Agenda card. There's nothing on the card that says you need to declare loyalty to score the Influence points. And the Loyalty section of the RR says the cards are scored normally whether they are face up or down. It's a understandable rules mistake that I've seen many people making.
Ah, I see what you're saying now. Good to know. Something they'll likely clear up in an FAQ as the RR is a bit thin on a few rule clarifications I've noticed as well. Cheers!
@@RollingSolo Great discussion, I learned a bit from it and watching you play. So I have been even more mistakes that added to the difficulty unnecessarily and me eventually not playing the game anymore;.
There's that annoying guy who could've made his own video! I knew it would turn up!
Perfectly explained, great instruction video Sir!. Game arrived yesterday, having played it yet, still got Trajan left on my table. Anyway have a great time while playing amazing boardgames. Greets from Germany
Hello! Thanks so much for the kind words. Happy I could help you get rolling with this one. Normally I’m faster to respond but currently in the process of a move. Hope you’re enjoying your time in the Wasteland!
There is an addon for Tabletop Simulator that adds the full board game to be played as one of the game types. This video series is helping me a lot to be able to play it in TTS, thanks!
Very cool! I like TTS as well :)
Happy to hear this video series helped you out.
Bio symbol also known as Double Helix or the symbol for DNA.
100%
Thanks for watching!
Thanks man‼️ just bought this game and your videos helped me out tremendously on how to set up and play. Much love from Columbus, Ga!
No problem! Have fun in the Wasteland ☢️
I've played this game twice so far and enjoy it.
One of the tricky things I've found in this game is balancing how often you claim agenda points or how often you complete a quest that allows a faction to move on the scenario sheet. Also the more cards you claim the quicker the deck runs out, allowing the factions to move down even faster. Getting those extra agenda points from cards already claimed is important if you want to successfully defeat the game.
That's my assessment from two playthroughs. Closest I got to winning was 9 agenda points.
Great thoughts and thanks for sharing them. Here's hoping I can muster up the 11 influence points. See you in the next one!
What about using the leftover agenda cards for your point count? Do those cards have agendas that only coincide with multi-players? Or could you use them instead of dibbing in the stack to prolong the game. Probably not ruling, but still, whatever makes the factions a little more fairer for good gaming time.
John I don't think you can use the cards that have a number higher than the number of players.
I've even read comments where people say take an agenda card from the discard pile when you claim a card, not off the top of the deck. Not sure if that correct or not as I don't think it mentions it in the rules I'll have to go and check that one.
Enjoyable to see how solo works as I just book-ended watching your playthrough around my own session, but with 4 players. There are definite differences but I think I might try it solo as well after this...
Very cool! It does play differently solo. :)
Great video watched your rules breakdown and bought the game after watching your review 👃🏽
Thanks Maori! Awesome to hear that.
Always good to know I was able to help! Enjoy it!
on the back of the blue rule book, it says that the bug symbol is called a critter, and the death claw is a monster
haha Sure does! I should have been more clear. Thanks for watching and hope you enjoy the series.
Amazing video man stay safe and God bless!
Thanks Dylan! You too! :D
I'm finding this very useful learning to play this game but I have a feeling that he's never played a Fallout game in his life.
Hey Dustin! It may appear that way, but I was just trying to keep the barrier of entry to those not familiar with the IP low. Sometimes this turns people off that don’t know the IP as well. I have recently been playing Fallout 4 VR. I’m a huge fan of the franchise. Thanks for watching!
@@RollingSolo Yeah I started to notice that the more videos I watched in this series. These videos where helpful.
Ah ok. Cool stuff. Have a good one!
I came across your video and it helped me decide if i wanted it or not, glad to say, i have bought it, and i cant wait to play. thanks.
i would also like to request a video on some Gears Of War the Board game. I know its out of print and maybe you have a copy?, I do. I love the game so much. I just like watching others play as well, and there are only a few who do here on youtube.
Gears of War is a vey beloved solo game. However, I shy away from covering a game that others can’t get as it is no longer in print. I also don’t have a copy myself! Great choice though! :)
Hope you enjoy Fallout!
So to clarify, you have 2 action choices that you can use to explore a major part, walk, attack or camp and regain health ? just want to make sure im understanding
I honestly want to revisit this one down the line with the new expansions. Off the top of my head I can’t say. Hopefully I can get this one back to the table on the channel soon!
Love it! Currently pushed me to make a small channel giving my basic run through of the game.
Hey! Thanks so much for watching and congrats on your launch! 🤩
Well I bought the expansion and the game. I been convinced. This actually looks better than FOWW because it already comes with "tarrane". Also I'm subscribing for your channel you got pretty great content thanks a bunch for this upload.
Hey! Welcome to the channel and I hope you enjoy everything. See you around and feel free to join our communities outside of RUclips too!
Aaaah YES! The Boatfly x'D
🤣🤣 I’ll never live that down!
@@RollingSolo I also liked the part where you called the Deathclaw a Ram. Great videos though, I'm almost done with part 3.
I was considering buying the game + New California and wasn't really sure if I'd like it, since I don't play board games that much and the price of 100€ for both is kinda high. Now I think I'll have to get them.
BTW, will you make a playthrough of New Cali and or take a look at the new Nuclear Bonds expansion?
🤣 If only one could go back in time. Can’t say for sure that will happen but it would be fun to revisit it again. I have SO many titles to show off old and new!
@@RollingSolo Understandable. I'll drop a sub just in case ;)
Hope you enjoy the community here! We're also in many other social places as well.
I like this game. Wish I could play it with my friends. You need to rest so you gain 3 health back
Hey David! You're right, next video some resting is in order. Cheers!
Can anyone answer -
We're having a hard time understanding the icon of the thumbs-up in the circle. On some cards (like Encounter 080) it says to DRAW [that icon], which sounds like we should be drawing Agenda cards (based on the Learn to Play book pg 5 "Create Other Decks" section, where it says to shuffle the Agenda Deck and includes that icon). However, other cards (like the G.E.C.K.) phrases it as "draw 1 agenda", spelled out. Some encounter cards just include the thumbs-up icon without saying to "draw", and the Rules Reference book pg. 3 section titled Agenda says that "Agenda cards grant players influence ([that icon])". So that same icon seems to reference influence in some places and Agenda cards in others.
So the question is.... When do we interpret the icon as influence and when do we count it as Agenda cards? We have been playing where any thumbs-up symbol we get for completing encounters counts as an Influence Point, which has made getting more that one or two agenda cards nearly impossible. But we are now wondering if we should be drawing Agenda cards after completing encounters, and if THAT is where the influence points come from?
Where did you get the smaller plastic covers for the smaller cards?
The sleeves? Mayday is what I use and back then FFG sleeves too.
So at the beginning, i played as a brother hood guy, i flipped the first explore tile and im adjacent to synth and if you are adjacent to enemy with a range attack do you get to attack back? Or do you have to take damage and then move into same space with the enemy to attack them?
Hello Atiwich! Good question. At the moment I haven’t played in some time so I don’t know off the top of my head. BoardGameGeek is where I would go with that question! Hope to see you around here.
Attiwich - If the Synth has a ranged weapon and an aggression token, it will attack you from an adjacent space. This will then trigger a fight where you roll the dice. The range weapon on the Synth vs you melee means you take an extra hit.
Also noticed a spawn mistake at 23:45. Monsters down spawn in the space in which you killed them. They are placed in the nearest from which they died. So in this case he couldn't place since no there were no other matching locations open
Love your videos! Just unboxed this game yesterday and tried to play with my girlfriend. However, I am a bit confused as to how to gain influence? I mean, the agenda cards have the thumbs up, so do you get an influence every time is "thumbs-up" symbol is present upon quest completion? If yes, do you just gather agenda cards face down next to your player board, remindg you how many influences you have. Or just mark the amount on a paper etc? Sorry if this is an obvious answer :D.
Cheers,
Jani
Hello Jani! Card Results sidebar on page 8 of the Learn To Play says that you may draw agenda cards as a quest reward. When a Quest reward has the little "thumbs up in a circle" symbol is when you're allowed to draw an agenda card.
Also: a player is allowed to have 4 agenda cards, not 5 (Agenda Cards section of the Rules Reference)
Also also: every agenda card awards 1 influence PLUS gives you a certain set of prerequisits to gain even more (up to two extra for a total of three per card if memory serves). I know a few people have missed the "always at least one" part.
Hope this helps!
@@RollingSolo Awesome, thank you! Helped a ton! Cheers
😄👍🏼
Someone's going to have to bite the bullet and do a far harbor playthrough eventually.
haha mmhmmm
Where did you get the sleeves for your cards?
Hey! I typically use Mayday and sometimes FFG. Usually locally or sometimes online. Cheers!
Sorry if this is a repeat question, but I am wondering where you found the card sleeves.
If I’m not mistaken these are FFG sleeves. Hope that helps!
I continued watching, now I think it’s just a mutated insect icon.
I'm sure it's in the rulebook. Don't have it near me at the moment though ;p
Rad roach
Hi! I've been watching over and over but I don't catch it. When enemies activate, do they traverse into unexplored territory? I'm trying to figure out what they do on their turn when up at Crossroads and they are down below like your start. Thanks for the playthrough!
Oop nevermind! I'll leave this comment here as a warning to READ YOUR RULES REFERENCES KEVIN 😭😆😆 but you also helped! I clearly saw it after my comment. Thanks again!
Hey Kevin! No worries. I've been there too haha
Hope to see you in future vids 😀
I might be months late. But enemy tokens start facedown when placed on the board unless a quest card specifically states otherwise.
Rules state to place them face-up?
When exploring you place them face-up.
Non active (face down) are not valid fight targets. Moving into that space at 11:30 would be useless..
When attacking the Bloatfly, should you have taken an extra damage since it had the ranged symbol?
Hello Austin! I may have had to and if so good eye. It’s been a bit. Is this in the pinned comment maybe?
@@RollingSolo I'm not sure, I just watched it. I love the channel! Just wasn't sure.
haha Me either ;p
Thanks so much, that’s awesome to hear!
Do you pull an agenda card at the end of each round? If you are playing with 4 players does everyone pull an agenda card?
I played solo so I can’t say! Likely also depends on expansions you added in too.
Wait a minute. How can you declare loyalty to the institute at the end of your turn? I thought the card had to be done at the beginning of the turn.
Hey Christian! I’d have to check the rules again as it’s been a bit since I played. Thanks for the feedback and watching! Cheers!
@@RollingSolo Well it's specifically shown on the card that you can only reveal it at the start of your turn to declare loyalty so no need to check the rules, just check the card ;). (Around 19:23)
This bothered me to an extreme level, you cheater(just joking). It's normal to miss some things while playing and explaining at the same time.
Work well in solo whit 1 pg? I read this game work very bad in solo
It certainly does. The expansions add a lot to the solo experience. Highly recommend both and especially Atomic Bonds.
which sleeves do you use?
I bounce between Mayday and FFG. FFG only on a select few FFG games. Mayday on others. I don’t sleeve all games. Just ones I know will get heavy wear and use. Now with FFG sleeves going away I guess GameGenic will be my replacement. Cheers!
@@RollingSolo oh didn't know they were going away. Gotta see if I can find some as I just got this board game today and am afraid it will wear.
I stocked up on some FFG minis myself!
I think it may be called a bloatfly token, haven’t played fallout for a while.
Could be right! It had been some time for me as well. :)
What does the 1+ on the bottom of the agenda card mean?
Hey Ivan! It’s been a bit so I’d need to double check. 😜
@@RollingSolo I mean don't worry, I'll find out eventually, I just got the game and damn that number is driving me crazy, I just want to know 😹
@@IvanGarcia-my7sz I believe it's a number to help you easily set the game up for the number of players you have.. is one player should only have a number one while 4 player would have the number 4 and below. Took me a minute to figure that one out!
Can you actually fight inactive enemies?
I want to pull this one out and have another play of it. I enjoyed it. Can’t remember off hand to be honest. 😜
I thought all enemies spawned by revealing a tile come in face down and don’t flip until the move monster step?
Hello Victor! It’s been a bit but what you mentioned certainly rings a bell. Did you check the pinned comment for any corrects? Not sure if I mentioned anything there. Hope you’re enjoying the game!
Nobody know how to play this game, dif videos dif rules 😂😂😂
Mine I’ve been told is very helpful! 🙂
