About us:
We're Die Rollin, a board game feed from the UK! Join us as we delve into the world of board games!
Adam is a 30 something nerdy extrovert who has a large collection of board games and designs board games in his spare time. 70% of all conversations with this man will devolve into a conversation about board games...
Jamie knows something about nothing but fails to know anything about anything, he is a keen vlogger, board gamer and all round nice guy.
Will is our resident card guru/deckbuilder/cameraman and general all round nice guy when he's not trying to destroy everyone else (Even in co-operative games!)
Mistakes were made:
1- Alien tokens behind an alien model add +1 to defence rolls when attacking a player for each token.
2- When you move into an adjacent square of an alien model, you must end your movement.
3- As I have two hero characters, I should be drawing 4 motion tracker cards
4- You don't look at cards you exhaust
5 - You don't discard revealed cards
6 - When grunts take a rest action, they only recycle three cards
7 - Doors are only open when a character is adjacent to them
8 - You can’t see/shoot through closed doors
9 - Can’t move through walls when moving diagonally
10 - Weapons with the Full Auto ability enable you to keep attacking as long as your previous attack hit.
Thanks for the vid! A rule goof, if I'm reading the rulebook correctly: your Hero can only activate the number of grunts of its rank (pg 19, Rule 6). Hudson can only activate 1 grunt/turn and RIpley none, because she's not a Marine.
Correct, what should happen is once all characters have activated AND activated any grunts (according to their rank) all grunts that have yet to be activated are activated. Thanks for watching! :)
It literally makes zero difference though, just saying. Each character gets a turn, it’s a rule for rules sake it seems.
I’d love to see a play through of the second mission if you get chance. Thanks for uploading and merry Xmas dude
Thanks for watching! I have filmed the rescue mission and hopefully got a lot more correct. I’ll be doing a full playthrough with all the bits and some bug hunt missions too so stay tuned. Hope you have an awesome Xmas :)
you missed two things as far as I know: 1- alien tokens behind an alien model add +1 to defense rolls when attack a player for each token. 2- When you move into an adjacent square of an alien model, you must end your movement. Nice and enjoyable video, can't wait to play it by myself
Thanks!!! You’re right, I totally spaced on that rule regarding + to defence. So Ripley wouldn’t have been able to run past that alien at the end, thanks for the clarifications!
@@DieRollin and + to defence means swarms can easyly kill your guys! I mean just a 3 alien swarm kill you on a 7+ instead of 10 that is huge! the game otherwise seems pretty fun
Also, full automatic weapons can shoot more than once.
@@seandilallo8718 full auto will be used next time!! :)
@@seandilallo8718 Unless they miss, yeah :D
Hey nice game.
Some rule clarifications, you don't look at cards you exhaust, so you shouldn't of resolved those first two hazards.
Step seven of the marine phase tells you to activate all the the remaining grunts after the last player activates.
You wouldn't have drawn that last card with Hudson as he is off the table, and no longer in play.
You don't discard revealed cards.
You didn't use/forget the full auto rule on pulse rifles and smart guns, I think you would have done alot better if you used it.
Someone else pointed out the other issues, but other then those minor issues you did well and the video turned out good.
I think the benefit of moving through aliens was ballanced by not using the full auto rules.
Thanks for the clarification, I’ve looked over the rules again and can see I had made a mistake with how I revealed instead of exhausted cards! Also, I will use that full auto rule next time! Cheers for watching and commenting :)
@@DieRollin for sure, thanks for purchasing and playing the game. I always wonder how my games will be received and man the love this game is getting is awesome.
@@andrewhaught758 Are you surprised how many rules are missed in the play thru videos especially by gaming channels? I haven't seen one yet that gets them correct. Many are fundamental. Granted it's not easy taping, talking, playing a game in one take that one just got and were anxious to upload a video no doubt. Especially solo. I can't do it in one take. I don't make money on my videos anymore so it's not worth it lol
There's a lot of FAQ on BGG you resolved some of them. It seems rulebooks are difficult to write within an alotted number of pages and economy of words. One issue may be that some rules players try to read between the lines or think of it the way they would have designed it or what makes sense to them. There's others that well if it doesn't say it that means it doesn't apply. Other that don't RTFRB (guilty) lol It helps a lot pre-purchase to download the pdf's. The one that didn't make complete sense to me are the white lines around the doors not blocking LOS but the thin black line wall that goes up to it does. Or maybe I read the pdf rules wrong lol
There's a lot of games on BGG with FAQ. Some games where the rules are just not well written or there's a ton of errata. (I'm looking at you Wizkids D&D board games). It's nice to see yourself and other designers stopping by BGG and RUclips.
I look forward to getting the game. Not looking forward to buying equipment & glue to piece the mini models together. Good that BGG modelers have given direction what to buy.
It sounds like the two expansions are needed to really enjoy the game. That's not a bad model so-to-speak to release it with expansions at the same time.
With all the Fox legal (but this is a game that definitley needed the movie stills) did you ever think it would get published?! It's interesting I saw the card that says Get Away from Her you bitch but the box can't. Fox is owned by D*sney lol
Good questions! I look forward to seeing the response. :)
@@CollectionTHX1138 Yep there are always rule questions, no matter how detailed a rulebook is, its something as a designer I grown to expect. So far 93% of the questions I get are answered somewhere in the rulebook, with only a few that needed further clarification. I am currently working on an FAQ, it will take some time for it to come out as we need it approved by Disney and that takes time. In the mean time most of my answered questions are being compiled here www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/2559272/official-answers-and-information-collection-thread
Thanks for the video. I like the handy cam view. It's better than a top down view for this game. Love the painted minis.
A couple of points not covered by other comments. When grunts take a rest action, they only recycle three cards. They don't draw two (can't have cards in hand, as you said). The first blip you spotted (near Newt) wouldn't have been spotted until Hicks moved in front of the door (all doors are closed until someone, or some thing, moves next to them).
Hey Rev, thanks for taking the time to watch and comment!
I only just found out about the doors being closed unless there’s an adjacent model, so you’re correct there and the recycling rule for grunts too, I’ll use this going forward.
I think close up handy cam is a better format for this too as you get to see the models!
Stay tuned as I’ll be most likely rescuing my marines next. Or at least, trying to
Aren't doors only open when there is a character or alien adjacent to them? At 18:07 Vasquez is 1 step away from the door and the alien 2, so I would assume that door is closed?
Yes, I hadn’t realised the doors only open with people adjacent to it. Thanks for watching. I’m doing another walkthrough with a much more accurate interpretation of the rules
@@DieRollin played a lot wrong on my first play 🤣 so no hard feelings)
Your shelf wall of gamage...*drool*
Very impressive!
Adam has a ridiculous amount of games... I think between us all we must be into the 300 - 400 mark. Plenty of content to keep us going. Thank you for watching, hoping you enjoyed the content. How many games are you sporting? What’s your favourite? - Jamie
@@DieRollin Games that I have at the ready my count is probably in the 30 mark, most are packed up right now. Been rotating through different games with my buddy when we play. Even though I've only play tested my copy solo so far it is definitely getting a favorite spot up along one of my other favorties, the BSG board game that release 10-15 years back. Great paranoia, system against the player, various solutions, a good level of backstabbing and convincing your buddy's wife to chuck him out an airlock because he can't keep a poker face and is most definitely the Cylon....only to have guessed wrong. Whoops! Broken eggs, omelets and all that hahaha.
@@nicholastopper9214 yet to play Battle Star Galactica but we love games with traitor mechanics in them! - Adam
@@DieRollin In that case you should enjoy BSG. I'm shy the final expansion Daybreak, but the rest all add some nice features and you can pick and choose. My groups tend to favor Cylon Fleet, Pegasus and nothing to do with New Caprica. We still have extra stuff to do with the the Exodus expansion.
I highly recommend it, play with at least 4 people. The more the merrier and more potential traitors. Can be a bit pricey to purchase due to its been out of print for awhile.
When making Newt run away, she doesn’t have to go to the bottom I don’t think. Can’t she run past the marines as long as she gets further away from them? And if Ripley is near, does she take presidence and Newt doesn’t run away?
@Die Rollin' We just finished playing mission 1 for the first time and we have documented our progress for the next mission. My hero character Vasquez drew two hazard cards during the mission that had to be "placed on" vasquez. They remained on Vasquez for the remainder of the mission, but as we cleared the table, we wondered if those two hazard cards stay with Vasquez even during mission 2. Do they? Or can we discard those hazards when mission 2 starts? Or do we have to shuffle them into the endurance deck at the start of mission 2? The rulebook is unclear and I could not find an answer on the FAQ...
Hey Smigget, thanks for watching! Glad your game is progressing nicely, I’ve just about finished painting up all the things for the game so we’ll be doing a complete run through (if I make it that far)
My understanding is that hazard cards go back to the endurance deck along with anything you’ve got equipped. Then at the start of the next mission you can once again equip your characters with anything from the endurance deck.
Hello. I want to ask. How is it with the flamethrower. Does it mean that Flamethrower is written. Hit on 7 and less. Should I move the aim dial. Already. Even if. I fire the flamethrower?
Great paint job!! Does the game justice
Thanks so much! I am please with how they came out
What colours did you use for the camo? They look great 👍
I will consult my paint stash and get back to you! I was pleasantly surprised with how nice they came out :)
32:45 I have a question. Do aliens that spawn at a spawn point right next to a character attack that character (so you have to roll a defense roll)? Or do they not attack before a new alien phase starts? You did not do a defense roll, so I assume it is the latter? The rulebook is not clear on that.
The FAQ clears this up. Aliens that spawn don’t attack as it’s outside their activation. I thought I’d played this wrong so my next video I activated them. I’m doing a full campaign run through with the correct (or as correct as I can get) rules.
Question on your solo play, you were running two heroes. Is that option for a solo play or just the approach you took for this video to emulate two players ? My understanding is one player -> one hero.
As for your question about grunts, running with less players means you need to lean on a higher rank hero if you want to activate them which lead me to play as Gorman. It was a rough go with only one hero and 3 grunts per turn, I lost a lot of damage output. I think one of the expansion options allows you to act as if you had a certain rank to give civilians that, might have been an experience card.
One of the big questions I keep seeing is "how many times can a grunt be activated per turn?" I blew past this in the book, heroes and grunts are still characters and characters are limited to one activation per turn barring any special ability like Gorman's or event cards.
Thanks for watching Nicholas, I was trying to emulate 2 players but probably should have been drawing double spawn cards (4 in total)
I didn’t see anything in the rules stating you had to activate different grunts but assumed each grunt only has 2 actions in a turn, so you couldn’t activate the same grunt twice in a turn.
@@DieRollin Yeah, you can't activate each Grunt more than once. Pg19 Step 6 says "The number of Grunts they can activate is based on their rank". It mentions the number of Grunts (models) to activate not how many 'Grunt Activations' you get iykwim. This is essentially a bonus to compliment that players turn. Then after all players have had their turn the player with the highest rank activates the remaining grunts (Step 7, pg 19).
Yeah, each character (hero + grunts) gets 2 actions.
What a response!
some rule goofs I noticed (writing this as I watch).
1. Vasquez can't take grenades because the smart gun is bulky and doesn't let you equip backup weapons. (Oh, you noticed it later!)
2. Any remaining Grunt activates at after every Hero has finished their activation.
3. at 17:10 Ripley wouldn't reveal the two Aliens because you moved her diagonally and therefore was never adjacent to the door. Doors only open when a model is adjacent, and close again if it moves away. (Also I think Acid blood is in the Get away from her, you B***H expansion.)
4. You don't get to look at cards you exhaust :)
5. Since you don't look at cards you exhaust the treachery would not have happened at 34:20.
6. Not sure if rules goof, but Hicks could have kept firing at the Aliens at 39:32
7. after you reveal a card, you put it at the bottom of the endurance deck. (unless you get to keep it or something else happens, like a treachery)
8.Vasquez could have kept firing at 41:26 when taking defensive fire (because her gun har full auto or w/e it's called)
9.This is me being picky, but Vas' would teeechnically get up at the beginning of the Alien phase, unless adjacent to Alien/s (luckily she wasn't!). Just a minor detail, as the Aliens capture anyone who is downed at the start of their turn.
10. Alien swarms gain a +1 bonus on their attack for each Alien in the 'stack'... or is that +1 on your defense roll. which sounds good but isn't xD
11. at 49:50 you added 4 aliens instead of 3 by mistake. I have a feeling I'll also do this by accident every now and then!
12. You stop as soon as your move gets you adjacent to an Alien. But I do believe you could just spend your next action to move again :P
I read a quite extensive Rules question thread on BGG before I played, my own number one rules goof was nr.10 in my list above (I'm sure my Marines didn't mind though!).
I would recommend the Ultimate badasses expansion for the class cards and more playable characters :D
Oh and I forgot to add that I really enjoyed the video. I just started writing as I watched and it became a list haha. Didn't mean to sound negative or anything.
in my game I also found Newt at the same location, but Ripley calmed her down on 4 right away and then I just sort of moved everyone in a square formation closer and closer to the exit. Still burned through the entire Endurance deck, but I forgot resting was a thing. I played as Apone.
Hi, Jamie here not Adam, thank you so much for your comment. We are not offended, we love it. We appreciate the time you all spend watching and helping. Especially, when we have to replay a game. We are glad you enjoyed the content, more videos of this game are on the way FYI. Adam has some other solo stuff and there are numerous other reviews on our channel. Feel free to leave a comment on anything you like or dislike. :)
When Frost attacked with the flamethrower at 39:50, you stated he rolled 2- 6's. Actually you rolled a 6 and a 9...so one of those 4 aliens should of survived the flamer attack.Also at 45:40 ripley moved diagonoly which I believe is illegal. Because of the corner of the door graphic she has to go forward 1 and then could go up and around...When you moved Hicks at 52:45, he must stop when he moves adacent to an alien. When you moved Vasquez a bit later she ignored the adjacent aliens as well...much like Hicks movement she should have stopped when she moved adjacent.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment. I was unaware of the mistake with Frosts dice roll, apologies for that. Diagonal Movement and the adjacent aliens rules has been pointed out already and I’ll not be making those mistakes again :)
Whenever you equip a smart gun your not allowed to equip a backup weapon. It says so at the bottom of the card.
Corby, you are indeed correct. I realised this when playing the rescue mission (the next video for this) I’ll add it onto the corrections at the bottom of the description!
Thanks for taking the time to comment and thanks for watching. Have you played the game?
@@DieRollin I bought the complete edition but I have not put all the minis together yet. Looks fun tho, I'm a big fan of the franchise.
@@corbybunch the marines aren’t too difficult but the aliens (specifically their tails) can be a bit fiddly. I used citadel glue and it worked a treat.
You could have a house rule for Drake to carry a flamer as backup
I know this is about 20 months too late, but I wish I could get your d10 from this episode and put it in my Undaunted box - LOL... You rolled a LOT of 7-10 results with that thing!
The dice aren’t always in my favour lol
@@DieRollin No, and neither are they for me 🤕 ... and yet we keep trying
And what happens to a character who is knocked down when another one attacks it? Is a knocked-down character always taken by the aliens? The rulebook says that a character is killed if it rolls 10 on the defense roll, so does that mean a character is always kidnapped rather than killed unless you roll 10 on the defense roll?
As much as i like the alien theme and dungeon crawling style i have to say i found the rulebook to be really bad at explaining important stuff, i also watch the videos of playthroughs but havent find answers in some questions/details. Line of sight feels weird, movement of Newt is always something you have to wonder about everytime you move her. A lot of stuff feels like left on the players own judgement and feels like they just made everything possible to release the game before christmas. At some points it feels uncomplete i hope it's only the first mission and it gets better with the expansions and other missions but something is bothering me with this game.
Hey thanks for watching, I’ve got to agree that a lot of the rules (even after the faq) seem like they’re easy to be misinterpreted either way. I’m doing a full campaign run through using the ultimate badass expansion and will be using the rules as I see them.
At 17mins15secs you revealed the alien blip, since no one was adjacent to the door it would be closed and the blip not revealed. PS. Nice paint jobs. At about 18mins Vasquez is shooting through a closed door, plus the smart gun has full auto. At about 12m18s since Newt is now activated shouldn't the blip in the room be revealed? At about 32mins even though you are playing solo, there are 2 characters in play, doesn't that mean you should draw 4 motion tracker cards? Also shouldn't the alien swarm that was spawned have immediately have been able to attack? At 33m30s Newt moved diagonally through a non adjacent square? At 34m20s I think this might have been mentioned before but exhausting cards are just moved and not revealed. At 37m I would argue that Ripley is 3 squares away since the diagonals across the door are not adjacent (bottom left pic of p22 of the rulebook concerning shortest distance). At 48m Vasquez should also be able to defence fire since she is within 4 squares (plus you keep forgetting Full Auto). At 51m ish turn dial is of no use after turn 3 plus you have to stop moving when coming into contact with an Alien after this I lose the will to live since there are so many mistakes.
Hey David, yeah, I’d say the majority of what you’ve got here is correct. I don’t think spawned blips/aliens attack but I may be wrong - just because the alien turn order has aliens attack first then blips movement then spawning. I could be wrong though.
Thanks so much for watching and leaving these here, going into the next one I’ll be compiling these so I don’t make the same mistakes. I knew there was a way of attacking more than once with the pulse rifles but I thought you needed grenades.
I was under the impression that all doors were open unless you barricaded them, I’ll double check the rules on that.
Thanks for the compliments on the paint job, I feel they turned out well :)
David, you are correct, doors are closed unless there is an adjacent model! I’ll make sure I use doors properly for the 2nd mission
@@DieRollin Pages 21 to 23 cover blips, if I'm reading it right spawned blips can move and attack when they are revealed as alien models even in the motion tracker card phase. Great video by the way, look forward to your next one.
@@davidwatts1871 hey David, I went over this today and yeah, as soon as you spot a blip (even spawning them) they activate and attack :O
this looks pretty fun, despite the dodgy reviews
There's a lot to keep track of and the lack of Acid Blood is a shame, plus trying to balance aliens on top of tokens makes it a little fiddly, apart from that it's a solid representation of the movie that it's based on.
Just played this for the first time as Ellen plus five grunts... and got slaughtered! I think the answer is to move fast and barracade everything!!!
Yes, do not stop… keep moving and barricade everything 😅
Nice play thru. There will allways will be a couple mistakes. It's difficult to explain it and play it with a camera in a single take. One other you missed was you rolled a 6 and an upside down 9 but you said two 6's. I don't think it mattered. Good thing you did' tkill Hicks at the beginning that would have thematically been disspointing to the point I would have houseruled a penalty of discards equaling his defense instead lol but the fact that people are pointing out oversights means they're actually watching it which is a good thing.
Thanks for the kind remakes and thanks for watching. I’ve filmed the rescue mission now and using what I learnt in this it’s a lot more fun :) Bug Hunt will be up this week :)
Not for public ridicule, but for information. There's almost a mistake every activation.
Thanks for watching, our latest solo series has a much more accurate run through of the game, thanks for watching.
Yes, in future playthroughs you have been getting better with the rules, and self correcting where you note mistakes. My comment is not intended to be critical, just informational. Thank you for putting out these videos, and those pieces look pretty amazing.
@@bluedevil3d104 and your comments are honestly appreciated! :)
Ripley save me!
The odds are never in your favour! :D
Looking how you play I have no idea how many steps one person can make. Absolutely confusing: 4, 6, +2, +4???? Totally chaos in a video. hudson moved 10 fields and that's ok???
