Didn't accept arcs to be this good.
Basegame gameplay blows my mind already, but the campaign scares me.

[@soIarjetman]

Thank you for this, been excited to see you all play. And impressive to see you do it in all one day. Wish I could have been there watching live but having to watch 30min snippets when I get time. Certainly semicooperative element to this Act 1, everyone using and feeding off the empire. Rooting for the believer!

[@efarien140]

Gate Ports is so good for Admiral in act 2!! Can't wait to see if it works out for him

[@justinvamp15]

Are those Law cards included in the game or did you print those out? I can't find them in my copy.

@@Heavycardboard Great, thanks!

[@odditie]

With the campaign, it’s really interesting that you can see Cole’s past designs in this. I see elements of Pax Pamir, Root, Oath and John Company all mixed in together to make a wholly different experience.

At 03:32:00 , Edward forgot to pay the edict since he had fuel and it was on of the ressources taxed :)

[@Heavycardboard]

Yup. Totally whiffed on that.

[@tarntech]

Since you showed the storage solution between acts, allow me to ask a game material question. If I were to play the campain using the extra figures from the miniatures pack, would I be able to play the base game between acts? Or are there still other base game components like ressources "locked up" in the campain storage box? Of course there always is the possibility to throw some placeholders into the campain box to free up components, but that kinda defeats the purpose of having a neat storage solution.

[@Heavycardboard]

I get what you’re asking, but no, you’re going to have the cities, star ports, resources and more all locked up/mixed in the storage containers. Not to mention the deck having additional cards in it and some of the lore cards mixed in with the Court cards.
I THINK the purpose of the storage solution is to make it very quick and easy to set up for following campaign games.
Hope that helps!

[@tarntech]

@@Heavycardboard Thank you, that answers my question. I thought there might be some duplicates of base game components in the expansion box but it's called an expansion for a reason.

[@QuantumMechanic343]

This was phenomenal. I’ve subscribed and am super excited for the next game.

[@louisnooope]

that was awesome.

[@Heavycardboard]

Glad you enjoyed it!👍🏼

[@elqord.1118]

This will be your biggest stream. I promise you.

[@jacobanderson9512]

everyone dressed as their playing colors except Edward haha

[@JustinLillich]

You all are the real heroes here. Thank you!

[@derekpayne9822]

If I was Jon and rolled that two on that devastating turn I would have had to lie down on the floor for a minute. The worst of all possible known outcomes.

[@JonArt_As_Board]

😩😩

I don't think you added new blight from the last crisis, I believe new blight should have been added to sector 3 and hexagons.
