Great to see you at it again, Rick. I've missed these character-based adventure/quest playthroughs from you. In my opinion this is where your channel really shines above the others. This game has a real chance to take over as my #1 solo/co-op game.
thank you ! You're right, and I should spend more time doing play-throughs and less time on other things. I'm certainly limiting KS previews this year. I don't charge any monies for doing films, so I should continue to focus on the things I enjoy. Thank you for your support! Ricky.
Awesome explanation of rules while you re playing. I really appreciate these. This looks like a very fun game with tons of replayability. The combat is really satisfying as well.
Great series as usual. One note at 7:55 where you're placing the Gearloc. Technically speaking, I think you're supposed to roll the initiative die first. Where Nugget falls in the initiative order may result in you preferring one starting position over another.
jPlay I second that! I was so close to backing this one and for some reason I just couldn't pull the trigger. This looks like an awesome game, guess I will have to find it retail some how :) Thanks Ricky! As always, I really enjoyed your run through, looking forward to day 3!
Josh - you still have until noon tomorrow to preorder and get in on the initial shipment! We are online only - so you'll need to order from our website in the future either way :-)
Thanks, Ricky! This play-through is tremendous! How do you think Too Many Bones stacks up against Hoplo? I'm certainly more drawn to TMB. Also, thanks for effectively teaching me War of the Ring & Mage Knight!
I haven't been able to get my chippy to the table yet, so forgive my chuckle when you read the Day 2 encounter ... so you only made 15 steps on Day 1, eh?
Thank you Ricky for the amazing playthrough, really enjoying the gameplay and incredibly excited for TMB to arrive. I had a question on the hardy attribute, looking through other videos is seems people are having hardy reduce damage to 1 per turn, and thick skin reduce damage overall.
Great looking game components, love the dice but not sold on it. The combat mechanic/ battle mat idea does nothing for me. Without reading the rules it seems complicated.
Ive probably played this like 5 times trying to beat the boss and it seems like the difficulty scaling is way off. It is far too difficult the more players you have.
Very helpfull video! Im getting this game in a few days and really looking forward to it!

Now I regret not backing it... the components look AWESOME! Thanks for taking a second look, Ricky!
It can still be yours... Pre-orders don't close until tomorrow morning. ^_^

thank you . much appreciated 😎👍 hope you choose a great game to play!

Good thinking ;)
Love the game so far. Unique and interesting mechanics.
Are the first 3 encounters always the same then?
Yes

thank's Josh! Day 4 is a beauty!

I'm pretty sure I got a notification that you uploaded part 4, but I cant seem to find it anywhere. Did you take it down?
Joost Nauw you likely saw the name of Part three which is "Turns 3 and 4" - maybe?
I guess that must be it. I'm so excited I start seeing things. Can't wait for part 4!
I noticed that you don't have premium health chips but you do have them for hoplomachus. are they something you are planning on getting?
The CTG guys sent me this advance copy before the premium chips were available, but yes, they are definitely on the shopping list !
Thanks for doing this
my pleasure!
Great video - big fan of all your series. What kind of surface are you playing on? Is it a mat material - specific brand? Thanks!
It is... let me give you a link: www.chaoscards.co.uk/accessories-c1/table-mats-c779/hcd-supplies-large-solid-black-game-mat-36-x-36-p126571
Nice work Ricky. I noticed a dice tray and poker trip tray. What other items do you use with this game? Thanks.
That's it . Plus some good fortune ;)
Thanks, Ricky! This play-through is tremendous! How do you think Too Many Bones stacks up against Hoplo? I'm certainly more drawn to TMB.
Also, thanks for effectively teaching me War of the Ring & Mage Knight!
Thanks Timothy! My pleasure. Hope you continue to enjoy WotR and MK.. great choices! Hoplo is still number 1, but TMB feels like a contender.... !
I haven't been able to get my chippy to the table yet, so forgive my chuckle when you read the Day 2 encounter ... so you only made 15 steps on Day 1, eh?
Just noticed that you were sitting on the floor. Do you shoot all your videos on the floor?
just this one... table space was a bit tight!
Thank you Ricky for the amazing playthrough, really enjoying the gameplay and incredibly excited for TMB to arrive. I had a question on the hardy attribute, looking through other videos is seems people are having hardy reduce damage to 1 per turn, and thick skin reduce damage overall.
Yes - check PART 4 where we look at Hardy again ;)
Ricky Royal Yep! Just started watching it and caught that.
Great looking game components, love the dice but not sold on it. The combat mechanic/ battle mat idea does nothing for me.
Without reading the rules it seems complicated.
strange, that's my favourite bit! But I am also a positional player who likes games like chess.... as well as dice! Have you checked out Hoplomachus ?
Ricky Royal no I haven't. I'll take a look.
Ive probably played this like 5 times trying to beat the boss and it seems like the difficulty scaling is way off.
It is far too difficult the more players you have.
I must try to solo with more players, see how I get on ...
