I watched three other videos, within 30 seconds I knew this was the best.

[@oraclebjj]

Thanks for the how to. It’s all coming back after many years.

[@eliothagler5043]

Me too, my dad just died and we played this game a lot together back when I was younger, I forgot the name and only had a vague memory of certain things, so it took me a while to find it, all I remember is that it was in a tin box and it was a fantasy game and I’m happy I found it.

Thanks for this, Brooks! Subbed to your channel.

[@PushIt2287]

This was very helpful! Way better than the other videos I watched

[@melissaresendes7652]

Thank you for the reference to Pandemic. It helped me catch on to the game play far more quickly.

[@ironteapotdimsumbar2931]

This is a really underrated and fun game

[@mnm4242]

Good video. Much more clear than the other video I watched prior on another channel.

[@terryfurlong9160]

Very clear explanation!

[@markojankovic-personal351]

Good job on this video. Thank you for getting right to it, showing the game instead of your face, and giving a nice quick and understandable summary of game play. Shame about the audio and video quality, but the content is good so it is fine. I wish more how to plays were like this.

[@BoardGameCavern]

Thanks for the comments, Marko! Really appreciate feedback. You're right about the quality here. My mic was off, and not enough light. I've fixed these issues in more recent videos. Have a great day. :)

[@pogocat59]

Agree

[@woodpipes]

great explanation thank you!

[@Sh4rK280]

Great explanation, thanks!

[@Tallinyc]

Best explanation from all videos

[@grod4416]

Thanks for the explanation

[@Weeweesilly]

Awesome!

[@w.alancao9571]

Now I know how to play it right!

[@MB-wu8vv]

Can you explain or have you explained the board game sabbat magica.

[@SpookyFXdotCom]

TWO divers is a mistake in your game box. anyway there is so much controversy about the rules for the diver (even the creator admits his rules were not very clear for the diver) we do not play the diver at all.

[@bupobm]

My box has two divers - what should they be ?

[@CutUpForce]

@@bupobmThere should most definitely not be two divers. There should be six distinct adventurers:
1. Messenger
2. Diver
3. Engineer
4. Explorer
5. Navigator
6. Pilot

[@juliaartamonova3447]

Thanks for the video but I have a question. Why are you doing three actions if the the rules of the game say "you may take up to three actions each turn (could be 0,1 or 2) ?

[@ירוןאפרים]

You can take 0,1,2 or 3 actions. (you can take 0,1,2 action(s) and to end your turn, it doesn't have to be 3 actions )

[@MoxieSong]

It's beneficial to do actions. The only time you wanna "waste" an action is if you can't shore up a tile and you are standing in the perfect spot.

[@ottostillen]

2 divers????!!!

[@Simon-pl2zi]

great tutorial but duuude .... did you record this with a potato?

[@BoardGameCavern]

haha yes. And it was delicious.
This was an early video I did, and rough for sure. My newer ones will be quite an upgrade. :)

[@Allagi22]

This is incredibly confusing

[@charliemopic470]

Terrible. Rushed, poorly explained, poorly prepared.
Stopped watching after three mins.

[@BoardGameCavern]

An early effort, and done too quickly. But thanks for watching, regardless. :)
