Man your video editing is just on an insane next level. Not sure people understand how much time and effort this type of editing takes but its outstanding. Can't wait for you other MK videos to hit may it will be soon. thanks
Thanks for that compliment, Valen-D. I appreciate that. I'm very much an amateur at filming and editing, so it is probably taking me even more time than it should. Definitely a ton of work, but I'm really trying to make videos that express what I feel when I play board games. I want to grow the hobby and help people find games that they will love and that takes a lot of work. It is nice to know that you appreciate the effort. The next Mage Knight video is high on my to-do list. I would guess November, but my schedule is always changing. Thanks so much!
Fully agree. The best gameplay solo recordings out there. I feel the effort. Hope TotallyTabled enjoys making them because I really enjoy watching them.
@TotallyTabled I can imagine the effort. It's visible on quality of video edit. Your videos are one of the best solo gamplay content on YT. It's a pitty that YT recomended me your videos just recently. I wonder how much quality content is hidden from me :)
@@jacobpad Yes, I have been planning to make more MK videos and things have slipped through the cracks a bit. MK videos are hard to film and edit using my style. This channel is a hobby that I do in my spare time, so it takes weeks to finish one. I just haven't had the time. But full game MK playthrough will happen this year. Thanks!
Thanks so much for covering the game. It's still my #1 game of all time (and I co-designed the last 2 expansions). Great to see other channels covering it!
Thanks for checking out the video, Paul! My subscribers were constantly requesting Mage Knight from the very beginning. Now they are hounding me to film the full solo conquest. :) It's a beloved game for good reason. I haven't been able to dig into the expansions yet, but I can't wait. Everything in this game is amazing. Thanks for all the work you do for the hobby. Your channel was an inspiration for me and I marvel at the work you do. Have a great day!
I slowly warmed up to this game. For anyone struggling, I say Stick through it and play it multiple times and this game becomes an amazing puzzle of a game
Totally agree with you Nick! I tried to go really slowly and repeat several important concepts in this video in the hopes of helping beginners absorb some of these rules. I also tried to keep this video focused on the core rules. One thing I like about Mage Knight is you can kind of ignore the details for Mage Towers or whatever until you are ready to encounter them. I really hope the video helps people who are struggling with the game. It is so fantastic. Thank you, Boardgametherapist!
Woah, a MK play through from Totally Tabled! 🎉 One of my favorite games by one of my favorite play through channels! Thanks Shaggi, so thrilled to see this 😃
Thanks, I appreciate that. Don't get too excited. This is my attempt to teach the basics of the game for beginners. I'll do some full playthroughs soon. Those should be more interesting to experienced players (or more frustrating as you watch me make horrible decisions!). Thanks for checking out the video!
Question- at 33:30 you’re talking about the resistance break skill. Was that done correctly? Should the armour be reduced, then the resistance is added- so armour of 3 would go down to 2, then with physical resistance you need a 4? Or is it really 5 like you’ve said here?
Came to ask the same question. I didn't consult BGG, but I'm pretty darn sure the armor would go to 2, and would therefore need 4 physical attack (not 5). On that same note, I believe you could even use ice attack 2 (or fire) at that point to kill it.
I only knew Mage Knight by reputation and never previously seen any gameplay, however you got me really interested on it. With your explanation, this daunting game seems way simpler. Excited to watch the entire Mage Knight series you'll produce.
Thanks for this wonderful comment, Paulo. I'm happy to hear my video made you excited to see more Mage Knight. It won't happen right away, but I'm already planning the next video and moving it forward in my game queue. Thanks so much for checking out the playthrough!
Very well done. Glad you are playing this game and can’t wait for the solo conquest and hopefully much more. Love the high-quality of the camera work and content.
Thanks so much for these kind comments. I am definitely doing more Mage Knight. A solo conquest video will be coming fairly soon, but the summer is a bit busy. Stay tuned! Thanks for checking out the channel!
I have been enjoying watching all of your videos. Have you tried the Mage Knight campaign? It’s a fan made campaign on BGG and it is fantastic. Takes this game up to an 11.
I really appreciate you checking out my videos, Michael. Thanks so much. I'm relatively new to Mage Knight, so I'm still exploring the base game and getting my head around it. I haven't heard of this fan made campaign, so thanks for letting me know about it. I will definitely check it out.
Hey! That sounds cool. What’s the best way to find the campaign you’re talking about? Aren’t there a few? Is there one that is better than the rest? Thanks!
Best Video on the Rules!! At 33:16 youre talking about Resistance Break. I have a question about it: I thought I would need to get 4 Attack to kill the monster in the Example. 3 Armor + physical Resistance. Lowered to 2 Armor and Physical Resistance. So 4 physical Attack needed. You described it like this: 3 Resistance meaning 6 Attack needed, minus 1, so 5 Attack needed. Wich one is correct? Thx for any answer.
36:26 Does a healed unit get its command token back? Since it was stated earlier (28:46) that the token stays the whole round, not just 1 turn??? Or can 2 different abbilities from units be used separately on different turns?
My pleasure! I'm glad you liked it. Thank you for supporting the channel for so long. Your support has helped us in so many ways and has been critical for our continued growth. I hope you continue to enjoy the videos I make. Have a great day!
This is such a good video and tutorial. Very well explained and the closeups you do of the cards are extremely helpful! Would be awesome at some stage you could continue the series and maybe even head into the expansions at some point :)
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, Monxzl! I am definitely going to make Mage Knight a series, just like Robinson Crusoe. This is a game I want to fully explore. Next up will be a full solo conquest, but it might take a few months. I'm a bit busy this summer and I have a few big videos coming up. But there will definitely be more Mage Knight! Thanks again for supporting the channel for so long. I really appreciate it!
The editing on this one got away from me a bit and I was overwhelmed. Sometimes I reach beyond my level of skill and knowledge. The next Mage Knight video will be easier to film. I appreciate the encouragement. Thanks for watching!
Just in case anyone else had this problem: At around 2:54 he says "For this tutorial scenario, we only need to use numbers 65 to 80. Remove cards 81 through 92..." My standard edition copy of mage knight came with 28 Advanced Action cards numbered 1 through 28. NOT 65 and beyond. Even my game walkthrough book that came with the game says the words "65 through 80." I searched high and low to figure this out thinking maybe I have bad cards or something. But thankfully at 3:01 he includes a picture of the cards that would be numbered "81 through 92." If you are in my situation, THE REAL ADVANCED ACTION CARD NUMBERS TO REMOVE ARE 17 - 28!!! I guess the seller included a Ultimate edition mage knight manual instead of the standard edition version. 3:14 SIMILARLY SPELL CARDS 109 through 112 are actually numbered 17-20!!!
Getting back into mage knight after a year off. This time with my son and daughter (8 and 10) a tad young, but they're enjoying it. This video is so excellent. Great production value. Quality play with little to no rules errors. Looking forward to the full solo conquest! (but no pressure haha)
Thank you for doing this video! Excellent timing too, I just received Star Trek Frontiers and have been trying to play it. I know there are differences, but this should give me some ideas!
I got this a couple months ago, I popped all the cutouts and sleeved all the cards, had a glance at the rule book, froze with fear at the scale of the understanding needed and shelved it for a rainy day. After your video, I'm looking forward to getting it to the table now, thanks for the video, very informative and clear, loved the set up and how you organized the play space, only worry I still have is an issue I have in most games, I forget which actions I've done or if I have any move left etc. if I get side tracked, I'm going to have a notepad and make sure to use it as this game has a lot going on and I'll definitely end up making mistakes if I don't.
Great teach and playthrough! This one has been languishing on my shelf for a while now due to the complexity, but this video gave me hope :) Looking forward to future playthrough videos for this one for sure. As an aside, have you played the Star Trek reimplementation?
Thanks. I'm glad you liked the playthrough. I hope it helps. I have not played the Star Trek version, but I did acquire a copy and I hope to film it one day. I'm going to stick to Mage Knight for now, but I love Star Trek, so I'm hoping it is as compelling. Thanks for watching!
oh my god, been wishing you did this one because finding a good one online is always hard to find.... i always find there's too many mistakes in it or they skip too much of the basics and i have been wanting to get some confirmation on my understanding of the rules
I hope I did okay. I definitely focused on the basics with this video and skipped a bunch of the advanced stuff around the different locations. I'll dig into those rules in detail in the next video, but I didn't want to overload beginners who are learning the game. Hope you enjoy the video, Sem. Thanks for checking it out.
I wouldn't say "soon", but I can promise it will drop within the next three months. I have a bunch of stuff to clear off the plate first. But it is a priority. I mean, the thought of filming it keeps me up at night, but I'm excited to tackle it. 😀Thanks so much for your kind words and thanks for watching the video!
I'm so excited to film the solo conquest. It will be another difficult, time-consuming video to make, but the play will be a blast. I'm such a sucker for interesting card play, so obviously Mage Knight is a hit for me. Thanks so much for checking out the playthrough! I hope you enjoy the next one!
@@TotallyTabled It will definitely be time consuming and difficult. And the editing will take some time. Plus, you will have to endure replies that correct mistakes. I am here for you, good luck!!
It is an enormous undertaking considering my editing style. I haven't had the time to tackle it yet, but I will. Fortunately, there's no shortage of Mage Knight videos out there. But it might need to be multiple videos, like Frostpunk or Halls of Hegra. I used to do that all the time. Now I try to fit it all in one video, but we'll see. Thanks for watching!
@@TotallyTabled Yeah I totally understand. It's a super long game. There are a lot of solo playthroughs as well. Idk maybe some type of sub goal or something.
I hope you get it to the table and have fun. Let us know how it goes and if the playthrough helped at all. My next Mage Knight video will go into detail on all the final rules, but going through the opening tutorial scenario really helps. Anyway, thanks so much for supporting the channel!
This is great. There is such a dearth of good Mage Knight videos online, when I’ve looked previously. So happy to see you tackle this and looking forward to learning it 😊
Thank you so much. Sorry for the delay in responding, I was on vacation. I hope the video helps you learn Mage Knight and that you enjoy playing it. I really appreciate your long time support of the channel! Thanks again.
Maybe a stupid question but I don't have the game and I'm just getting familiar with the rules by watching videos: I'm wondering what if you use the green crystal on 'Concentration' card? Would you get the 4 movement from 'March' + 2, so six movement from that single card?
Great video! I was planning on picking this up and this video got me very excited for it. I can’t seem to find that the follow up video you were planning though.
Great video! Although for First Reconnaissance, I don’t think you add a card to the dummy between rounds based on the spell mana. I think that’s added in the full walkthrough.
Wow, that's great! I hope my video helps you get it to the table and makes the learning curve a bit less difficult. Let us know what you think if you play. Thanks, SH!
Hey there first of all Great video m8 :) Quick question at 59:37 Gain a crystal of any color can you get a yellow crystal? Since it says any color, not any basic color, thank you in advance.
Stop showing us so many great games, I cannot buy them all !!! Very curious to see how you will tackle the city battle in other scenarios. ps. Joke is on you this time though, I already have it 🤣
I'm excited to tackle the full game for the channel. It is a big video and will take some time. I hope you enjoy it when I finally film it. Thanks for watching!
Can't believe it has taken me this long to come across your channel. Your production values and the way you explain the game as well as your thought process as you play provides an insight to decision-making and gameplay. I have binge-watched most of your content but please more Mage Knight! Maybe a Volkare scenario?
I'm glad you found the channel! Welcome and thank you for your viewership and kind words. I'm happy you enjoy my videos. I'm definitely planning more Mage Knight content. I've fallen behind where I wanted to be for the year, and I have a few big projects that are getting in the way. Mage Knight is a tough game to film and edit, so I need a good chuck of free time. It will happen this year for sure! Once again, thank you so much for supporting the channel!
Well done! This was a perfect how to play video. From the excellent camera work, thorough explanation of game mechanics, and awesome advice. I learned so much...two thumbs way up!
Wow, thank you so much for those compliments! That is very kind of you to say and I'm very happy you enjoyed the video. Thanks so much for checking it out.
43:15 shouldn't you be attacked by swordsmen? since you moved from adjacent hex to another adjacent hex. or does it apply only to orcs? also thanks for the vid. i think it's the fastest way to learn the rules - by doing :D
Thanks for this really clear playthrough. I havent opened up my copy of the game yet and enjoy seeing sessions like this to help me decide whether I should bust it out one day.
I definitely recommend giving it a go. Hopefully my video can help make the learning curve a bit less steep. I appreciate you checking it out and hope you enjoy the game if you decide to get it to the table. Thanks so much!
This was so good! I haven’t played MK in years but this inspired me to open it up this weekend and get some solo games in. It was really easy to jump back in with this as a refresher!
I'm so glad the video helped, Adam. It is wonderful to hear Mage Knight hit your table again. That has always been the purpose of this channel -- to assist and inspire play of great board games. Thanks so much for watching and supporting the channel for so long!
Can i ask some question. Can i end move without spend all move point. For example i get 4 move points from card so i decide to move just 2 point to village and interact.
At 43:07 when they move into the mines, why doesn't the enemy attack them? My understanding was that if you are adjacent to an enemy and move to a space adjacent to an enemy, they will attack you.
Hope you enjoy the video. This is really designed for beginners. I'll be tackling more advanced Mage Knight soon. Thanks for checking it out, Naniguitar!
I was obsessed with this game before I ever even touched it(Thanks Ricky Royal). I still am 😂 Great video! I have a very well used copy and an unopened Ultimate Edition.
That is definitely a good thing to learn. The full game is so much more as well, it is not for everyone. It is like spicy food. Everyone has a different point where the heat stops tasting good and is just adding pain. Thanks for watching!
I hope you enjoy playing it when you dust it off. Great game and I'm so happy to finally get it to my table and the channel. Thanks for checking it out!
I'm so happy I've finally played it enough to get hooked. Vlaada was already my favorite board game designer and now he is untouchable. What a collection of games: Thru the Ages, Mage Knight, Galaxy Trucker, Dungeon Petz, Tash Kalar, Codenames, Space Alert...holy moly! Guy is a genius. It is a shame he has been quiet for so long. Thanks, Steve!
@@TotallyTabled You are on the money with your view of the designer. They are such varied games as well! Astounding. Looking forward to your next vids!
43:15 You still get the benefit of the Foresters even though there is a symbol on it? Is that because you originally used it to "Move 2 + the benefits"? Or even if you had used Block 3? Is that power "always on"?
I explain it at 37:00. I used it for the top ability which includes reduced move cost for all movement for the entire turn. The block is a different ability. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
Ha, ha, do not hold me responsible for purchasing decisions! 😀I hope you enjoy it if you end up playing. The next playthrough will give you a better idea of how the full game plays. It is epic and brain burning and a lot of fun for me. Thanks so much for watching my video!
Bought it, really like it! When are you planning to play the next scenario? Also, are you interested to play Dwellings of Eldervale solo on youre channel? I think you would like it!
awesome playthrough, the details and explanations are so helpfull. i got stuck on all of the overwelming small rules on my first playthrough but i think i got the power to try it again now after watching your great video! Thanks alot👍
No bother at all. I'm currently on a mini vacation close to home. This summer hasn't been very productive. August looks crazy busy. My guess is it comes out late September. I was hoping for sooner, but I don't think I'll have the time.
@@TotallyTabled Stellar presentation of MK, as usual. You also seem to be quiet good at it. I wonder if you will be open to getting more wounds in conquest
Great video thank you! This has inspired me to get my unopened mage knight to the table this week. One quick question.. do you have a table cover or something? It looks really easy and satisfying to pick up cards, rather than scratching around on wood or plastic haha. Appreciate if you could help me find similar! Thank you.
Yes, I use a table covering. I talk about it in detail and provide links for it on my Top 10 Board Game Accessories video here: ruclips.net/video/tEvrhrVXkEA/видео.html. I personally like it very much and recommend it. Good luck with Mage Knight! I plan to make a video playthrough for the entire solo conquest here in a month or two. But I definitely recommend going through the tutorial like it did here. Thanks so much for watching!
I hope you enjoy it. This video is really geared towards new players trying to learn the game. I'll be making more advanced playthroughs in the future. Thanks!
Played my first Round ever last night. Took 2 hours of sifting through the rules. After watching your video glad to see I didn't botch things too much. Great video, thank you!
just found this channel not too long ago, and after watching several videos of solo games I must say that your editing is top notch. The work you put into these videos shows, and I hope am excited to watch more. I would like to see more Campaign Content for Mage Knight in the future.
Thank you so much for those kind words. I plan to make more Mage Knight videos, but I've been a bit busy lately. Mage Knight is a big time commitment to film and edit. But hopefully I can make it happen this year. Thanks for watching!
You are the best! My collection will grow exponentially due to your reviews)) I was kinda interested and afraid of this game. I really like the Heroes 3 and this game reminds me of it but I know that not any of my friends will play it with me because of the game weight or because it is not localised into my language. So it is only a solo game for me and it looks too heavy for my solo experience. But looking at your playthrough it was really fun! I cannot wait to see more and maybe I will be engaged to the point I buy and try it myself! Thank you for the experience you give us every time!
Sorry for the delay in responding. I was on vacation. It is definitely heavy, but in a great way. You can ignore most of the rules until the situation presents itself. Most of the time you are pondering how to use your cards and mana to best effect. That puzzle is wonderful and you get to do it again and again. It can be long, especially if you are like me and AP every turn, but with a solo game I don't mind that as much. Hope you enjoy the next Mage Knight video. Thanks!
I just picked this one up last week and I'm so happy to see you have instructions for it! It's been on my wishlist for a long time but it looked pretty heavy so I've been nervous to try it. Thank you!
I hope the video helps you ease into this great but overwhelming game. The reward is worth struggling through the learning curve, IMHO, especially if you enjoy really thinky, puzzly solo games. Thanks for watching and good luck!
I bought it a while ago as a gift to myself but got a bit intimidated by all the rules. This video is the push I needed to finally commence this absolutely behemoth. Thanks for making this video!!! ❤
Hey, I'm so happy to hear this video inspired you to get Mage Knight to the table. I hope it helps make the experience a bit smoother. It is a beast as you say, but it is worth the mental investment. Hope you have fun and thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for making this video, after watching it I finally understood how to play the game! Took it off the shelf of shame where it had been sitting for years and had a blast!
I'm so happy to hear that! I always hope my videos will help someone. I'm so glad you were able to table Mage Knight and that you enjoyed it. Fantastic! Thanks for watching!
You're very welcome. Thanks for checking out the video. I hope you enjoy the game. It takes some work, for sure. But the juice is worth the squeeze for this one.
Thanks, Truce! It is definitely an intimidating game, but with some work it really comes together. It is all about the cards and putting those efficient turns together. If that puzzle seems interesting, then it is a game worth checking out. I hope you'll enjoy my second video when I go through the full solo game. Thanks so much for watching!
Thanks so much! The solo conquest video is coming. I've fallen a bit behind due to life stuff, so it is taking a bit longer than I hoped. Thanks so much for watching!
I'm so happy you enjoyed it! These are difficult and time consuming to film, but there will be more to come for sure. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
Yeah, it has been delayed due to many factors, mainly the time commitment involved in filming and editing it, and my fears about whether I can do it justice. I want to complete my Top 100 of all time video -- which has been a massive undertaking -- and then I'll tackle this one. So, before the end of the year, to answer your question. Thanks for watching!
@@TotallyTabled Looking forward to the TOP 100! I am sure you will do it justice, just like you always do ;-) Keep up the great job, hope you enjoy it just as we do
Hello Shagi 🙂 Been a while but still not feeling well. Most gaming is done sitting in my armchair, but I can see so many new boxes on the dining table that it is frustrating me 😣 Anyway, managed Shifting Stones on a tray...good puzzler (along with the usual IQ Smart puzxlers...keep my little grey cells working 😅 Do you know that I have Mage Knight since it first came out and found it rather convoluted so once I can hobble to the table I will rely on your tutorial...All the others failed ! As Always: My Kindest Regards 🙂
I'm so sorry to hear that, Apollonia. That sounds very frustrating and I hope you feel better soon. It is great to hear from you! It has been too long. I love puzzles of all kinds, and those are great for entertainment and exercising the mind. I hope the channel is helping in some small way. I definitely found Mage Knight to be too much for me when I first played years ago. It is still difficult but I feel like I have a better understanding. I hope the tutorial playthrough makes it easier for you when you table it in the future. Thanks so much for reaching out. It was great to hear from you. Take care.
Thank you so much Shagie. Mage Knight never really made any sense even watching so many videos "demonstrating" how to play it ! I simply put the box back on the shelf 😊 But having watched your video and the calm way you describe everything, it will certainly make it worthwhile to bring it to the table at some later date....using your tutorial ofcourss. Guess what Shagie ? Managed to buy Titanic 😊 I can see it from here 😣 However, Maquis and Black Sonata are not available; the latter is but in Italian ! I would love Maquis since you made it look so good....just like all the other games you play. Again,with great respect I send you Kind Regards.
I am a little confused with the setup you mention to remove cards 81 through 92 but i don't see that anywhere in the rulebook i have.For Solo i remove 109 to 112.I looked at the first reconnaissance on page 18 and i follow solo rules page 19 of the rulebook
If I remember correctly -- and someone please correct me if I am wrong -- that is one of those "for your first game" instructions in order to reduce the complexity as you learn. I don't have the rulebook in front of me at the moment to confirm this. You can totally ignore that and include all the cards. It won't affect anything. Thanks for watching!
Ok it is mentioned to remove those cards in the walkthrough but not the rulebook. I totally missed reading that part from the walkthrough.@@TotallyTabled
Shaggi, you are the man. I'm late to board games but you have taught me so much over the past few months. Great introduction to Mage Knight - which I cant wait to get to the table and learn. Best wishes from the UK!
I'm so happy that you find my channel helpful. I really appreciate that, Bob. Thanks for the kind words and wishes. I was relatively late to board gaming myself, but the hobby just keeps growing, so now is as good a time to jump in as ever. I hope you enjoy Mage Knight when you get tabled. And thanks for supporting the channel!
@@TotallyTabled Hi Shaggi. This War of Mine, Robinson Crusoe - Cursed Island, and now Mage Knight. You've taken me on that journey. Where next? Best Wishes.
This would be a tough one to grasp as a kid! When I was a kid the most complex game I had was Axis and Allies. At the time it felt like the most epic and strategic thing possible. Ha. Wow things have changed. Thanks for checking out the video!
@@TotallyTabled the more you play, the better it gets. I have it running on my game table right now. It’s a terrible multiplayer game tho. WAY too much analysis paralysis.

Best Video on the Rules!! At 33:16 youre talking about Resistance Break. I have a question about it: I thought I would need to get 4 Attack to kill the monster in the Example. 3 Armor + physical Resistance. Lowered to 2 Armor and Physical Resistance. So 4 physical Attack needed. You described it like this: 3 Resistance meaning 6 Attack needed, minus 1, so 5 Attack needed. Wich one is correct? Thx for any answer.
36:26 Does a healed unit get its command token back? Since it was stated earlier (28:46) that the token stays the whole round, not just 1 turn??? Or can 2 different abbilities from units be used separately on different turns?
Another outstanding "learn to play". Thank you for the time you spend teaching us such an array of wonderful games.
My pleasure! I'm glad you liked it. Thank you for supporting the channel for so long. Your support has helped us in so many ways and has been critical for our continued growth. I hope you continue to enjoy the videos I make. Have a great day!
I love this explanation and play through. It was very well done
Thank you so much, riotvale! I'm glad you enjoyed the playthrough and I appreciate the comment. Thanks for checking it out.
This is such a good video and tutorial.
Very well explained and the closeups you do of the cards are extremely helpful!
Would be awesome at some stage you could continue the series and maybe even head into the expansions at some point :)
I'm glad you enjoyed the video, Monxzl! I am definitely going to make Mage Knight a series, just like Robinson Crusoe. This is a game I want to fully explore. Next up will be a full solo conquest, but it might take a few months. I'm a bit busy this summer and I have a few big videos coming up. But there will definitely be more Mage Knight! Thanks again for supporting the channel for so long. I really appreciate it!
Great job, having learned and played MK beast, amazing you did this video in such great quality. Must have been tons of work behind.
The editing on this one got away from me a bit and I was overwhelmed. Sometimes I reach beyond my level of skill and knowledge. The next Mage Knight video will be easier to film. I appreciate the encouragement. Thanks for watching!
Just in case anyone else had this problem:
At around 2:54 he says "For this tutorial scenario, we only need to use numbers 65 to 80. Remove cards 81 through 92..."
My standard edition copy of mage knight came with 28 Advanced Action cards numbered 1 through 28. NOT 65 and beyond.
Even my game walkthrough book that came with the game says the words "65 through 80."
I searched high and low to figure this out thinking maybe I have bad cards or something. But thankfully at 3:01 he includes a picture of the cards that would be numbered "81 through 92."
If you are in my situation, THE REAL ADVANCED ACTION CARD NUMBERS TO REMOVE ARE 17 - 28!!!
I guess the seller included a Ultimate edition mage knight manual instead of the standard edition version.
3:14 SIMILARLY SPELL CARDS 109 through 112 are actually numbered 17-20!!!
Thank you so much for providing this information. I might pin this comment to the top or add the info to the description if you don't mind.
@@TotallyTabled by all means, please do. I am still trying to learn this and I’ll probably need to reference this again lol
Getting back into mage knight after a year off. This time with my son and daughter (8 and 10) a tad young, but they're enjoying it. This video is so excellent. Great production value. Quality play with little to no rules errors. Looking forward to the full solo conquest! (but no pressure haha)
Thank you for doing this video!
Excellent timing too, I just received Star Trek Frontiers and have been trying to play it. I know there are differences, but this should give me some ideas!
I want to try that one as well. I love old Trek. Hopefully they are similar and this video helps. Thanks for watching!
I got this a couple months ago, I popped all the cutouts and sleeved all the cards, had a glance at the rule book, froze with fear at the scale of the understanding needed and shelved it for a rainy day. After your video, I'm looking forward to getting it to the table now, thanks for the video, very informative and clear, loved the set up and how you organized the play space, only worry I still have is an issue I have in most games, I forget which actions I've done or if I have any move left etc. if I get side tracked, I'm going to have a notepad and make sure to use it as this game has a lot going on and I'll definitely end up making mistakes if I don't.
Great teach and playthrough! This one has been languishing on my shelf for a while now due to the complexity, but this video gave me hope :)
Looking forward to future playthrough videos for this one for sure. As an aside, have you played the Star Trek reimplementation?
Thanks. I'm glad you liked the playthrough. I hope it helps. I have not played the Star Trek version, but I did acquire a copy and I hope to film it one day. I'm going to stick to Mage Knight for now, but I love Star Trek, so I'm hoping it is as compelling. Thanks for watching!
oh my god, been wishing you did this one because finding a good one online is always hard to find.... i always find there's too many mistakes in it or they skip too much of the basics
and i have been wanting to get some confirmation on my understanding of the rules
I hope I did okay. I definitely focused on the basics with this video and skipped a bunch of the advanced stuff around the different locations. I'll dig into those rules in detail in the next video, but I didn't want to overload beginners who are learning the game. Hope you enjoy the video, Sem. Thanks for checking it out.
@@TotallyTabled Yeah I loved it. It's a good idea to break it up because MK is a bit of a beast.
I look forward to the next one.
"What good is having this unit if it's not going to jump in front and take the damage for me?"
I hope Shaggy was never a general in the army 😂
The quality of this video is ridiculously high. There is nothing to criticise. I sure hope the Solo Conquest video is coming really soon. 🙂
I wouldn't say "soon", but I can promise it will drop within the next three months. I have a bunch of stuff to clear off the plate first. But it is a priority. I mean, the thought of filming it keeps me up at night, but I'm excited to tackle it. 😀Thanks so much for your kind words and thanks for watching the video!
Did you do a playthrough of this , I can't find it ?
I have not done a playthrough of the full solo game yet. Hopefully this month. Thanks!
@@TotallyTabled awesome can't wait
@@TotallyTabled I would also love a full playthrough of this!
Love this. Mage Knight is such a wonderful classic. Can’t wait to watch the solo conquest. You had me at Mage Knight 😂
I'm so excited to film the solo conquest. It will be another difficult, time-consuming video to make, but the play will be a blast. I'm such a sucker for interesting card play, so obviously Mage Knight is a hit for me. Thanks so much for checking out the playthrough! I hope you enjoy the next one!
@@TotallyTabled It will definitely be time consuming and difficult. And the editing will take some time. Plus, you will have to endure replies that correct mistakes. I am here for you, good luck!!
Full playthrough soon? Might have to be a multi-part series since it's a long one
It is an enormous undertaking considering my editing style. I haven't had the time to tackle it yet, but I will. Fortunately, there's no shortage of Mage Knight videos out there. But it might need to be multiple videos, like Frostpunk or Halls of Hegra. I used to do that all the time. Now I try to fit it all in one video, but we'll see. Thanks for watching!
@@TotallyTabled Yeah I totally understand. It's a super long game. There are a lot of solo playthroughs as well. Idk maybe some type of sub goal or something.
So glad you are tackling this beast of a game! Now I feel more confident to try give it a try. Thanks and your videos are great!
I hope you get it to the table and have fun. Let us know how it goes and if the playthrough helped at all. My next Mage Knight video will go into detail on all the final rules, but going through the opening tutorial scenario really helps. Anyway, thanks so much for supporting the channel!
Up to the 50 minute mark. Video is so well done. Making me very tempted to go buy this game. Thanks for all your videos.
I appreciate you checking out the video! Thanks so much for supporting the channel.
This is great. There is such a dearth of good Mage Knight videos online, when I’ve looked previously. So happy to see you tackle this and looking forward to learning it 😊
Thank you so much. Sorry for the delay in responding, I was on vacation. I hope the video helps you learn Mage Knight and that you enjoy playing it. I really appreciate your long time support of the channel! Thanks again.
Maybe a stupid question but I don't have the game and I'm just getting familiar with the rules by watching videos: I'm wondering what if you use the green crystal on 'Concentration' card? Would you get the 4 movement from 'March' + 2, so six movement from that single card?
Great video! I was planning on picking this up and this video got me very excited for it. I can’t seem to find that the follow up video you were planning though.
Great video! Although for First Reconnaissance, I don’t think you add a card to the dummy between rounds based on the spell mana. I think that’s added in the full walkthrough.
I bought this game last week and haven't played it yet. What a great Timing!! Thank you.
Wow, that's great! I hope my video helps you get it to the table and makes the learning curve a bit less difficult. Let us know what you think if you play. Thanks, SH!
Hey there first of all Great video m8 :) Quick question at 59:37 Gain a crystal of any color can you get a yellow crystal? Since it says any color, not any basic color, thank you in advance.
For the advanced cards how do we know which are 65-80? Only marking I see is the lower right card count. Thanks
Stop showing us so many great games, I cannot buy them all !!!
Very curious to see how you will tackle the city battle in other scenarios.
ps. Joke is on you this time though, I already have it 🤣
I'm excited to tackle the full game for the channel. It is a big video and will take some time. I hope you enjoy it when I finally film it. Thanks for watching!
So glad for this. I'd given up but this has inspired me to try and play the game again.
Can't believe it has taken me this long to come across your channel. Your production values and the way you explain the game as well as your thought process as you play provides an insight to decision-making and gameplay. I have binge-watched most of your content but please more Mage Knight! Maybe a Volkare scenario?
I'm glad you found the channel! Welcome and thank you for your viewership and kind words. I'm happy you enjoy my videos. I'm definitely planning more Mage Knight content. I've fallen behind where I wanted to be for the year, and I have a few big projects that are getting in the way. Mage Knight is a tough game to film and edit, so I need a good chuck of free time. It will happen this year for sure! Once again, thank you so much for supporting the channel!
Thank you for posting this. This game is very intimidating, but your video makes me want to give it a go.
have you considered playing Euthia? would love to see your opinion on the game , love your videos excellent as always
Just got my copy of the base game. I'm waiting for the new capaign expansion that is coming out soon.
Great vid! The rule books are absolutely horrendous. Both the original ones and ultimate edition ones. Stuff like this helps
I'm glad you found the video helpful. It is a difficult game to learn for sure. Worth the effort, in my opinion. Thanks for watching!
Solo conquest?
Well done! This was a perfect how to play video. From the excellent camera work, thorough explanation of game mechanics, and awesome advice. I learned so much...two thumbs way up!
Wow, thank you so much for those compliments! That is very kind of you to say and I'm very happy you enjoyed the video. Thanks so much for checking it out.
My wholehearted thanks for this very well done guide.
You are very welcome! I'm glad you liked it. Thanks so much for checking it out!
I haven't finished watching yet but the quality of this video is fantastic, well done, and THANK YOU!
Thanks so much, Joshua. I really appreciate that compliment!
43:15 shouldn't you be attacked by swordsmen? since you moved from adjacent hex to another adjacent hex. or does it apply only to orcs?
also thanks for the vid. i think it's the fastest way to learn the rules - by doing :D
Yeah, just the orcs. Thanks for watching the tutorial and playthrough. I hope you enjoy the game!
Thanks for this really clear playthrough. I havent opened up my copy of the game yet and enjoy seeing sessions like this to help me decide whether I should bust it out one day.
I definitely recommend giving it a go. Hopefully my video can help make the learning curve a bit less steep. I appreciate you checking it out and hope you enjoy the game if you decide to get it to the table. Thanks so much!
Heck yea, I got this for Father’s Day! Can’t wait to dive into this. Thanks for the awesome playthroughs!
Awesome Father's Day gift! I hope you enjoy the game once you table it. Let me know if you have any questions and thanks for checking out the video!
This was so good! I haven’t played MK in years but this inspired me to open it up this weekend and get some solo games in. It was really easy to jump back in with this as a refresher!
I'm so glad the video helped, Adam. It is wonderful to hear Mage Knight hit your table again. That has always been the purpose of this channel -- to assist and inspire play of great board games. Thanks so much for watching and supporting the channel for so long!
Great video! But, great game? I don't know. You have twenty things to do before you move two spaces.
I'm not sure I understand. You just need to play cards that gives you movement points. Are you referring to the lengthy setup?
Can i ask some question. Can i end move without spend all move point. For example i get 4 move points from card so i decide to move just 2 point to village and interact.
Absolutely. You do not need to spend all the move points you generate. Thanks for watching!
At 43:07 when they move into the mines, why doesn't the enemy attack them? My understanding was that if you are adjacent to an enemy and move to a space adjacent to an enemy, they will attack you.
Only the Marauding Orcs do that. Thanks for watching!
Bro, pls answer. Aftele I finish this scenario, when I start another one do I reset everything or I can keep the progress and my char level?
No, you start over from scratch. Each game is a separate scenario, not a campaign. Thanks for watching!
Now we are talking! :) Great!
Hope you enjoy the video. This is really designed for beginners. I'll be tackling more advanced Mage Knight soon. Thanks for checking it out, Naniguitar!
I was obsessed with this game before I ever even touched it(Thanks Ricky Royal). I still am 😂
Great video!
I have a very well used copy and an unopened Ultimate Edition.
i have this game and having finished your video i now know that i will be selling it lol too much upkeep for me. oh well. great video
That is definitely a good thing to learn. The full game is so much more as well, it is not for everyone. It is like spicy food. Everyone has a different point where the heat stops tasting good and is just adding pain. Thanks for watching!
In time to dust off my copy. This is a good refresher. Thanks!
I hope you enjoy playing it when you dust it off. Great game and I'm so happy to finally get it to my table and the channel. Thanks for checking it out!
Thanks I really like that you talk slow so I can follow it in the right pace 😀
The rules to these games can be very complex and hard to follow. I'm happy to hear my video was at least understandable. Thanks for checking it out!
It is a great game.
I'm so happy I've finally played it enough to get hooked. Vlaada was already my favorite board game designer and now he is untouchable. What a collection of games: Thru the Ages, Mage Knight, Galaxy Trucker, Dungeon Petz, Tash Kalar, Codenames, Space Alert...holy moly! Guy is a genius. It is a shame he has been quiet for so long. Thanks, Steve!
@@TotallyTabled You are on the money with your view of the designer. They are such varied games as well! Astounding. Looking forward to your next vids!
Im so sad that i cant afford this game :/
This is such a wonderful game! Once I am through my Arkham horror lcg dunwich legacy playthrough I’m getting this back to the table.
43:15 You still get the benefit of the Foresters even though there is a symbol on it? Is that because you originally used it to "Move 2 + the benefits"? Or even if you had used Block 3? Is that power "always on"?
I explain it at 37:00. I used it for the top ability which includes reduced move cost for all movement for the entire turn. The block is a different ability. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
Thanks!!
@@TotallyTabled
Hi Shaggy, thank for this excellent breakdown...when are you doing the next playthrough? Dont forget! 🙂
Great intro, bought the game right away. Can’t wait for more content!
Thanks! I'm glad you liked the playthrough! I hope you like the next video and I hope you enjoy the game. Thanks for watching!
Oh man! I’m so excited for this. I’ve been wanting to play for so long. Thanks so much for this video
Oh no.... Now I have to buy this game to! Can't wait for the next scenario!!
Ha, ha, do not hold me responsible for purchasing decisions! 😀I hope you enjoy it if you end up playing. The next playthrough will give you a better idea of how the full game plays. It is epic and brain burning and a lot of fun for me. Thanks so much for watching my video!
Bought it, really like it! When are you planning to play the next scenario? Also, are you interested to play Dwellings of Eldervale solo on youre channel? I think you would like it!
Again another great video that helped me learn to play. So far you helped with RC, Endless Winter and mage knight )
awesome playthrough, the details and explanations are so helpfull. i got stuck on all of the overwelming small rules on my first playthrough but i think i got the power to try it again now after watching your great video! Thanks alot👍
Sorry for bothering you Shagi,but when is the next MK adventure,please ?
Thanks.
AAKR.
No bother at all. I'm currently on a mini vacation close to home. This summer hasn't been very productive. August looks crazy busy. My guess is it comes out late September. I was hoping for sooner, but I don't think I'll have the time.
Thanks.
Looking forward to the video.
Have a lovely family vacation.
All the Best and AAKR.
can you use range and siege in ancient ruins?
I have just got my ultimate edition copy, I hope I can spare some time to play it in a couple of weeks. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for your master class, my Mage Knight has been haunting me for years, im glad to finally take it for a spin 😁
Mage Knight? Whaaaaaat??? 😁
Hope you enjoy it!
Hi Shaggy, level up is resolved at the end of your turn after you discard, before you draw cards
Same with benefits like healing in a glade, getting a crystal from a mine, etc.
Ah, good to know. Thanks!
@@TotallyTabled Stellar presentation of MK, as usual. You also seem to be quiet good at it. I wonder if you will be open to getting more wounds in conquest
Perfect timing! Just got this game recently 😆
Awesome. I hope you enjoy the video and I hope it helps. Thanks for watching!
great video, introduction to MK. would love to see another solo playthrough.
Great video thank you! This has inspired me to get my unopened mage knight to the table this week.
One quick question.. do you have a table cover or something? It looks really easy and satisfying to pick up cards, rather than scratching around on wood or plastic haha. Appreciate if you could help me find similar! Thank you.
Yes, I use a table covering. I talk about it in detail and provide links for it on my Top 10 Board Game Accessories video here: ruclips.net/video/tEvrhrVXkEA/видео.html. I personally like it very much and recommend it. Good luck with Mage Knight! I plan to make a video playthrough for the entire solo conquest here in a month or two. But I definitely recommend going through the tutorial like it did here. Thanks so much for watching!
Yay! One more MK playthrough! And with explanations, this time!
I hope you enjoy it. This video is really geared towards new players trying to learn the game. I'll be making more advanced playthroughs in the future. Thanks!
@@TotallyTabled I’ve only played first recon a couple of times. Haven’t done the full solo conquest. I still enjoy watching other playthroughs.
Nice. Please let me know if I have any rules wrong. I'm looking forward to tackling a full scenario soon. Thanks for checking out the video!
Fantastic video! Now, I thimk its time to confront (again) this big box!
Thanks so much for watching! I hope you are able to slay this beast of a game! Good luck!
Played my first Round ever last night. Took 2 hours of sifting through the rules. After watching your video glad to see I didn't botch things too much. Great video, thank you!
I'm glad you found the video helpful. Thanks for checking out the video!
just found this channel not too long ago, and after watching several videos of solo games I must say that your editing is top notch. The work you put into these videos shows, and I hope am excited to watch more. I would like to see more Campaign Content for Mage Knight in the future.
Thank you so much for those kind words. I plan to make more Mage Knight videos, but I've been a bit busy lately. Mage Knight is a big time commitment to film and edit. But hopefully I can make it happen this year. Thanks for watching!
You are the best! My collection will grow exponentially due to your reviews)) I was kinda interested and afraid of this game. I really like the Heroes 3 and this game reminds me of it but I know that not any of my friends will play it with me because of the game weight or because it is not localised into my language. So it is only a solo game for me and it looks too heavy for my solo experience. But looking at your playthrough it was really fun! I cannot wait to see more and maybe I will be engaged to the point I buy and try it myself! Thank you for the experience you give us every time!
Sorry for the delay in responding. I was on vacation. It is definitely heavy, but in a great way. You can ignore most of the rules until the situation presents itself. Most of the time you are pondering how to use your cards and mana to best effect. That puzzle is wonderful and you get to do it again and again. It can be long, especially if you are like me and AP every turn, but with a solo game I don't mind that as much. Hope you enjoy the next Mage Knight video. Thanks!
This video is fantastic man... I really wanna watch more of your videos now. You earned a sub ;) Can't wait!
Thanks so much for the sub! I'm really happy you liked the video and I hope you equally enjoy the rest of the channel. Thanks again!
I just picked this one up last week and I'm so happy to see you have instructions for it! It's been on my wishlist for a long time but it looked pretty heavy so I've been nervous to try it. Thank you!
I hope the video helps you ease into this great but overwhelming game. The reward is worth struggling through the learning curve, IMHO, especially if you enjoy really thinky, puzzly solo games. Thanks for watching and good luck!
I bought it a while ago as a gift to myself but got a bit intimidated by all the rules. This video is the push I needed to finally commence this absolutely behemoth. Thanks for making this video!!! ❤
Hey, I'm so happy to hear this video inspired you to get Mage Knight to the table. I hope it helps make the experience a bit smoother. It is a beast as you say, but it is worth the mental investment. Hope you have fun and thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for making this video, after watching it I finally understood how to play the game!
Took it off the shelf of shame where it had been sitting for years and had a blast!
I'm so happy to hear that! I always hope my videos will help someone. I'm so glad you were able to table Mage Knight and that you enjoyed it. Fantastic! Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this. I've been on the fence about purchasing this game but this video has convinced me it's worth a purchase.
You're very welcome. Thanks for checking out the video. I hope you enjoy the game. It takes some work, for sure. But the juice is worth the squeeze for this one.
Always heard of game but was too overwhelmed by most videos. This video real intrigued and compelled me. Very clear and well done!
Thanks, Truce! It is definitely an intimidating game, but with some work it really comes together. It is all about the cards and putting those efficient turns together. If that puzzle seems interesting, then it is a game worth checking out. I hope you'll enjoy my second video when I go through the full solo game. Thanks so much for watching!
Need to do the video please :)
excellent video, well explained, I'm still waiting for the solo conquest video =) greetings🙂
Thanks so much! The solo conquest video is coming. I've fallen a bit behind due to life stuff, so it is taking a bit longer than I hoped. Thanks so much for watching!
Thank you for this, hope you continue with your informative playthroughs. Keep up the good work friend.
I'm so happy you enjoyed it! These are difficult and time consuming to film, but there will be more to come for sure. Thanks for watching and supporting the channel!
Soooo any idea on when the conquest video is coming up?
Yeah, it has been delayed due to many factors, mainly the time commitment involved in filming and editing it, and my fears about whether I can do it justice. I want to complete my Top 100 of all time video -- which has been a massive undertaking -- and then I'll tackle this one. So, before the end of the year, to answer your question. Thanks for watching!
@@TotallyTabled Looking forward to the TOP 100! I am sure you will do it justice, just like you always do ;-) Keep up the great job, hope you enjoy it just as we do
Hello Shagi 🙂
Been a while but still not feeling well. Most gaming is done sitting in my armchair, but I can see so many new boxes on the dining table that it is frustrating me 😣
Anyway, managed Shifting Stones on a tray...good puzzler (along with the usual IQ Smart puzxlers...keep my little grey cells working 😅
Do you know that I have Mage Knight since it first came out and found it rather convoluted so once I can hobble to the table I will rely on your tutorial...All the others failed !
As Always: My Kindest Regards 🙂
I'm so sorry to hear that, Apollonia. That sounds very frustrating and I hope you feel better soon. It is great to hear from you! It has been too long. I love puzzles of all kinds, and those are great for entertainment and exercising the mind. I hope the channel is helping in some small way. I definitely found Mage Knight to be too much for me when I first played years ago. It is still difficult but I feel like I have a better understanding. I hope the tutorial playthrough makes it easier for you when you table it in the future. Thanks so much for reaching out. It was great to hear from you. Take care.
Thank you so much Shagie.
Mage Knight never really made any sense even watching so many videos "demonstrating" how to play it ! I simply put the box back on the shelf 😊
But having watched your video and the calm way you describe everything, it will certainly make it worthwhile to bring it to the table at some later date....using your tutorial ofcourss.
Guess what Shagie ? Managed to buy Titanic 😊 I can see it from here 😣 However, Maquis and Black Sonata are not available; the latter is but in Italian !
I would love Maquis since you made it look so good....just like all the other games you play.
Again,with great respect I send you Kind Regards.
Would love to see a solo conquest or Volkaire’s Quest run on the channel!! 😁
Yep, it is coming soon. Taking me a little longer to get this one done, but it is high on the to-do list. Thanks for watching!
I am a little confused with the setup you mention to remove cards 81 through 92 but i don't see that anywhere in the rulebook i have.For Solo i remove 109 to 112.I looked at the first reconnaissance on page 18 and i follow solo rules page 19 of the rulebook
If I remember correctly -- and someone please correct me if I am wrong -- that is one of those "for your first game" instructions in order to reduce the complexity as you learn. I don't have the rulebook in front of me at the moment to confirm this. You can totally ignore that and include all the cards. It won't affect anything. Thanks for watching!
Ok it is mentioned to remove those cards in the walkthrough but not the rulebook. I totally missed reading that part from the walkthrough.@@TotallyTabled
YOU ARE AWESOME! ❤❤❤
Shaggi, you are the man. I'm late to board games but you have taught me so much over the past few months. Great introduction to Mage Knight - which I cant wait to get to the table and learn. Best wishes from the UK!
I'm so happy that you find my channel helpful. I really appreciate that, Bob. Thanks for the kind words and wishes. I was relatively late to board gaming myself, but the hobby just keeps growing, so now is as good a time to jump in as ever. I hope you enjoy Mage Knight when you get tabled. And thanks for supporting the channel!
@@TotallyTabled Hi Shaggi. This War of Mine, Robinson Crusoe - Cursed Island, and now Mage Knight. You've taken me on that journey. Where next? Best Wishes.
My dad bought this for me as a kid, I can only now appreciate it lol
This would be a tough one to grasp as a kid! When I was a kid the most complex game I had was Axis and Allies. At the time it felt like the most epic and strategic thing possible. Ha. Wow things have changed. Thanks for checking out the video!
Hands down the best solo game out right now.
It is definitely up there for me. I'm late to the party and have just begun to explore it, so it might go even higher for me. Thanks for watching!
@@TotallyTabled the more you play, the better it gets. I have it running on my game table right now.
It’s a terrible multiplayer game tho. WAY too much analysis paralysis.
