    Just bought this game in 2020 (obviously), and immediately went to your videos to learn to play. I still read the rulebooks, but watching your videos makes reading through it so much easier and faster. Not to mention your videos are always a joy to watch.

    big fan of Watch It Played and the Smiths! first time commenter. i believe the players don't know which search tokens are extra because they don't see the setup diagram in the book, so they shouldn't know if a search token can be the key or not.

    Also as reinforcement goes, apparently in 4-hero games you can reinforce the ettins

    I'm pretty new to board games; but recently bought Mice and Mystics and so it's become a lot easier to get to grips with the rules of this game because of all their similarities.The way I'm picturing this is "Mice and Mystics + an evil player" and it looks really fun! Thanks for such an awesome job on explaining the rules.

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  11 лет назад

      Yes, you'll find there is a whole genre of games sometimes known as "dungeon crawlers", and both of these games fit within that category, so I think you've done a good job of seeing the similarities (and distinctions)

    Just a clarification for you, Rodney, just in case it comes into play.
    The rewording of Girsban's ability allows it to kick in at the moment you take a rest action.
    The original wording meant that the condition was removed at the end of your turn (since that's when fatigue is removed). This made it a useless ability for conditions like Immobilize (maybe others in the future).
    Now, Immobilize can be removed with the first action being a Rest, and then the second action could be to move.

    Question: Playing as an overlord, how much information is given to the heros(players) at the beginning of the quest? Such as possible key locations, quest objectives, and overlord objectives. Thanks and great videos!

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  9 лет назад

      As a group, you can probably decide how much you want to reveal, but the scenarios are not hidden information (except for any information it specifically says should remain hidden).

    Hello Rodney. I'm looking into painting my miniatures after owning this game for 7 years or so and I can't help but notice how great your miniatures look. Did you paint them yourself? Do you know of anyone who made helpful videos about painting Descent minis?

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  2 месяца назад

      I have done miniatures painting, but these I was gifted by a friend (you'll find that covered here: ruclips.net/video/-zkbqRleXLM/видео.html). Three are loads of great videos online to learn how to paint. I don't have specific recommendations, but I'm sure you'll find lots of great options!

  • @Borengar629
    @Borengar629 7 лет назад

    Really great videos. I am so glad that I stumbled accross this chanel. I still have one question though. The heroes obviously are told what their goal is but what about the goal of the Overlord? Is he supposed to tell the heroes what he needs to do to win? I am just asking because this makes a great difference when it comes to the dynamic of the gameplay and I just preordered a reprint of the game^^

    • @WatchItPlayed

      The rules states that nothing in the Quest book is secret, so you can consider all of it public information.

  • @yaronglucklich7580
    @yaronglucklich7580 10 лет назад

    I was wondering:
    Can a figure perform a ranged attack, checking line of sight from a corner, that is a "wall corner"? (at minute 3:25 the upper right corner of that hero; but not regarding that specific shown scenario)
    Same thing: Can a corner, which is a "wall corner", be target of a ranged attack?

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  10 лет назад

      It's hard to answer this without an exact visualization. Might be a better question for a forum where you can post a picture.

    • @yaronglucklich7580
      @yaronglucklich7580 10 лет назад

      ***** maybe I just used clumsy words to make myself clear. English is not my native language :)
      Assuming a Figure is standig right next to a wall, two corners of that field sort of "hide" behind that big black line, which represents the wall. Can those "hidden" corners be the start (or the end) of the line, which is drawn to check line of sight?

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  10 лет назад

      Yaron Glücklich Yes, as long as they don't pass through any thing (like a wall) which some of the back corners likely would.

    reading the comments below another question that was bothering me came to mind:
    "When the Overlord brings in reinforcements, do they all have to be the common type of monster, or can the elite version of the monster be brought back on if the original elite monster has died?"

      I do my best to answer all rules questions on the games I cover, but I avoid individual card effects, as that's a level of detail beyond what I can manage across all the videos I do. I'd suggest checking the rules forum for the game on BoardGameGeek or the publishers website. I hope you can find your answer there - have fun playing!

  • @DECAYERRRR

    It was my understanding that multiple-session campaign play was a feature added by an expansion. Are there campaign features (leveling up characters, buying and selling equipment) in the base game?

    • @WatchItPlayed

      NathanielLiles Multiple session campaign play is included directly in the base game, including leveling up and buying/selling equipment. Expansions just add to that, or include whole new campaigns.

  • @Soaponrope37
    @Soaponrope37 9 лет назад

    For reinforcements, they can not exceed the number specified for the number of heros correct? So you can't have more than 3 minion monsters in this scenario? Also can the Master Monster in the Open Group be reinforced?

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  9 лет назад

      The reinforcement rules are dictated by the scenario, but yes, in general, you may not exceed the limit based on the number of players. And yes the Master Monster can be part of that reinforcement (assuming the scenario does not say otherwise).

    Hey there,
    an Act is spillted into 2 scenes. Do you refreshed everythings before you start playing the 2nd scene? Means all hearts and fatigue tokens from the Heroes? And all used Overlord cards? Or do you all tokens?

    • @WatchItPlayed
      @WatchItPlayed  8 лет назад +2

      When players transition from one encounter of a quest to another, they perform the following steps:
      • Heroes keep all damage suffered during Encounter 1.
      • Heroes recover all fatigue suffered during Encounter 1.
      • Heroes keep all conditions they had at the end of Encounter 1.
      • Each hero player flips his Hero sheet faceup.
      • Heroes keep all search cards; any flipped cards remain flipped.
      • Any knocked out heroes may perform a stand up action for free.
      • The overlord player keeps his current hand of Overlord cards.
      • Players disassemble the map for Encounter 1 and refer to the Quest Guide in order to set up the map for Encounter 2.
