Currently playing and learning this awesome game! On 29:50 though - I figured based on your SOLO AI card, the Varg CANNOT do either of the 2 Middle Actions - 1: Attacking a Martial or Celestial Hero (the Varg doesn't see one in its LOS), and 2: the +3 Range attack does not apply to the Varg because it's a Melee monster (as stated in the Rules: ..."if it possesses the indicated attack type" - which it doesn't). Meaning - you should've picked the OTHERWISE Monster Action and discarded 3 cards from the hand. Does that make sense?
Thank you, you make some of my favorite solo videos. I have one question, to verify my understanding of the rules, When moving Melinda, wouldn't it take a total of 6 movement points to position her there (timestamp 39:44) the last movement would have required 2 movement points because she was leaving a spot that was adjacent to the ogre?
You're talking about Mirabell I think? Had to lookup the rules for this question : "If you leave a space that is adjacent to at least one enemy (even diagonally), you must pay 1 extra Speed point or be unable to move. This penalty never adds more than 1 Speed point per space, even if the hero leaves a space that is adjacent to several enemies. It is important to note that you do not pay a penalty for simply entering a space that is adjacent to an enemy." So : the first 2 moves are regular ones (2MP), the 3rd one moves the character through the door and next to the enemy. That makes 3 movement points in total to this point. To move left of the chest, you need 2 more movement points (as the character is 'engaged' with the enemy and needs to tread carefully) - making it 5 mp's in total.
I'm guessing you walked into the room to demonstrate the challenge token, but you know you could have attacked the ogre diagonally from outside the room?
I think the moment this game lost me was in the times where you chose to leave a monster alive in order to get the lesser of two potential consequences on the activation card. I'm not even a theme guy, but the idea of leaving an enemy alive on purpose seems really backwards to me.
I still have this game on the way but I'm looking forward to a slightly lighter weight mage knight sort of experience. I assume this game still does not take the crown away from mage knight but it will be a good supplement and take less time to setup and play through. How does the game go with multiple players?
Keep up your great work. I like Dungeon Alliance, but I have to constantly tell myself to slow down and you showed that brilliantly. This game isn't a normal ameritrash dungeon romp, and when I first played the game, it disappointed me. There is more thinking than hacking in the game.
Very excited for the all-female Paragons expansion later this year!
very complete explanation - thanks for this - it makes sitting with the manual on the table so much easier.

Good job. But how is it possible to range attack with melinda one space from the ogre.
She played a card which allowed point blank attacks.
You’re the best Liz!

It does not take the crown from MK! I would not know about higher player counts, though-I'm specifically a solo player.
