One determining factor in a new game purchase is: has Rodney done a How to Play? If not, we're in trouble. Better wait and see if one pops up. Seriously. We watch your How to Plays to decide what to buy, then watch them as many times as needed to learn how to play. We love you!
Absolutely agree with your comment, lots of people making these videos, but Rodney is always our first, and generally last option, because it's always so well explained!
Hi Rodney! Clarification for 19:14 Goblins only restore to its full health at the resolution phase/end of a round, not immediately as you mentioned. From the rulebook page 16: "Goblins restore to full health if not defeated in a single round." You may be asking, what's the point of leaving the damage inflicted until the end of the Night Phase? This is the reason, from the FAQ thread on BGG: Q: If a Hero has the Bow and an adjacent Goblin was abandoned during the Night Phase (other player Rested), could this Hero attack the Goblin? A: Yes, and do not reset the counter. Keep any damage inflicted from the previous Hero until the end of the Night Phase.
I had just sent an email to the publisher asking if you would be doing a video for this one day before it dropped. So happy to see you continuing your Tiny Epic videos. You sir are the best!
Wow dude. The quality of this video was amazing. Thank you so much for the detailed explanation! Will definitely use your videos in the future for other board games!
Your tutorials are my 'go-to' videos for learning a new game. Thanks for always presenting these with great pacing, direction, information and being very clear while you do so.
This game is definitely hitting my top 50 of all time so far....Thanks so much Rodney for another awesome video! We're even playing some Legend of Zelda music to this when we play.
Thanks for the video, you make things very clear. This game brings back memories of my days playing Zelda games. The custom meeples are awesome, I would definitely like to see that in other games. Can't wait to get this one to the table. Thanks again!
I watched your video before buying the game. The game came in and the instruction booklet has a QR code on the front for a detailed instructional video. I scanned it to see if it was even half as explanatory as your video. But the code just took me straight back here. Lol. Nicely done! :)
I've had my copy for a couple of weeks now, but haven't had a chance to play it yet. Thanks for the video - it'll make the first game go much more smoothly! And I know, as you've mentioned previously, you don't like pre-announcing game plays, but I would just like to echo what a few others have said; I would love to see you guys play this! Thanks for all you do!
Hey there. I Kickstarted this game and my boyfriend encouraged me to watch your video! I'm so glad that I did!! Now we are going to bring this little game travelling w us. It looks so fun!!
Excellent job! I actually had a little trouble figuring this one out, and you helped to erase some of the muddled thoughts I was having! A lot going on in this game!
Hey Rodney! I know you don't promise anything because you don't like dissapointing but I just wanted to say that I would like a gameplay of this game a lot. Also keep up the great work!
Hey Rodney thanks for another excellent tutorial. I've had my copy a couple of weeks now, so far only played solo. Can't wait to get a group round the play mat (which is excellent by the way). Thanks again for all your hard work.
Finally, you make this, I been waiting for your video since the day I received the game. I love your video a lot. Wish that you may include the expansion golden mushroom in the upcoming video.
One pretty important mistake.. When determining if there is at least 1 treasure quest and 1 movement quest, you don't discard the card farthest on the right, but you discard the card you just had drawn! (Or else you could mess up somebody's set-up for completing a quest pretty badly! And that's not how the game is intended I guess, as it can take quite some planning to try to get a quest) Correct me if I'm wrong, but i think it is written like this in the rules...
The rules aren't completely clear on wording, but an FAQ on BoardGameGeek confirms that you slide and replenish until you have at least 1 treasure quest and 1 movement quest as mentioned in the video. However, they also note a popular friendly variant that works exactly like you suggest!
I have a couple of questions: 1.If you rest and you learn a spell, (then increasing your max. power level) can I add one power point taking into account the new level of power. For instance: Having 3 of maximum power, and actually have 3 power points if I increase my magic level in 1 (having 4 of max. power level) when I return to the castle, can I add one power point from 3 to 4? Or Firstly do I add the power point and then increase my magic level that increases my max. power in 1? 2. Can I increase more than 3 magic levels? For instance: if I rest with magic level token in 2 and Im in two obelisks (level 2 and 4), can I I increase 2 (from 0 to 2) and then increase 2 more (from 2 to 4)? The last day we played we discuss about this. Thanks a lot and congrats for your channel!
I'm struggling to understand the question. This can also happen if the video is from long enough ago, that all of the rules are not as fresh in my memory. For these questions, you may want to check the forums on BoardGameGeek for the game. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.
Clarification question: During the day phase, if I use the foot movement to move a meeple and complete a quest card and take it, and then on the next turn using a griffin movement card, manage to complete the requirements for another quest, would I get that quest as well, or is the 1 quest per turn referring to one day cycle as opposed to one of the 4 turns we do movement in during day?
Great video, love it. There's just 1 thing, when can a player rest? Only at their turn? Before rolling the dice? Or anytime in anyone's turn but before rolling the dice? Or something else entirely?
Hey Fernando, glad you enjoyed the look of this one too :) I avoid reviewing or getting into opinion based assessments on my channel, so I can't help you with the 4 player question - sorry!
thanks for this very helpful video, Rodney! as always, good job! my fiance and I haven't played ours yet cos the rules get too confusing, but this definitely helped! :D a dumb question though (as I didn't see anybody asked it yet), does the health tracker track the total HP of all heroes? how do you deal with the individual tracking? Thanks! :)
When laying out a new quest, if a third movement or item quest comes up, I prefer to get rid of the quest card that I just turned over, rather than the one that has been out and could potentially have someone in the middle of trying to complete. I feel that it eliminates frustration and keeps people more active and into the game.
My 2017 printing of the rules states, in bold and italics on page 11, to "Discard the last card drawn and draw a new one until this [one of each type] requirement is met."
Thanks for the tutorial. Just got this game andni found the rules a little confusing. Thats what happens when i try to read rules after 11pm when the kids and wife are asleep and im already exhausted!!!
Hi, you create great vidoes. I always try to find your tutorials and learn how to play. I have 2 questions about Tiny Epic Quest: 1. If there are two treasure cards in quest cards connected with the temple "A" and the player complete the track of the "A" temple, they get only one quest card or they can get both? 2. The torch and scroll dice results are use simultaneosely. So when two players complete the the temple track in the same time which of them gets the treasure card? How to choose the winner?
Thanks for the kind words! 1. I think you'll find that here: ruclips.net/video/vcHEtXrh98s/видео.html 2. Good question, my understanding is that you would resolve it in turn order (first player first, second player second, etc), but I don't have an official answer on that. Hope that helps!
Watch It Played Can you claim a movement quest card during the night phase by having your guys in place before the night phase starts? (This is after already completing a quest during the day phase)
Hey David, normally I would do my best to help with this kind of question, but I loaned out my copy of the game to a friend, so I can't look it up in the rules to check for you. This might be a good question for over on the BoardGameGeek rules forums for the game in the meantime. Sorry!
Quick question. So for each "fist" symbol on the dice, I get to hit a goblin. Does that mean if I have multiple meeples on multiple goblins, I may each goblin once PER FIST I have rolled? Or is each fist symbol "spent" on a single Goblin token?
Quick question after watching this EXCELLENT video! When using the raft to move between cards, if you are on the right region of a card to start, can you use the raft to move to the left region of a card vertically above or below the current card? This came up in our game and people were divided on if you could or could not move to the left/right region after making the vertical move.
Hey there, I'm always happy to try to help with rules questions, but I lent my copy of this game to a friend, so I don't have a rule book handy that I can check this for you. I'd suggest checking the rules forum for the game on BoardGameGeek or the publishers website. I hope you can find your answer there - have fun playing!
Hi Rodney, great job! I've got a question: If you roll only 1 power during the night adventure but you already have your power on max level, does the second player get the power? Or do you have to roll 2 powers anyway for the 2nd player to receive one?
Hey there, I currently have my copy of the game loaded out and I shot this long enough ago, that I don't recall what the rules say on this. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!
As always Rodney, your the best. I just got the game and will be using this Friday night to teach the guys. I wish I could clone you to make more video's. I don't think your wife would like that. :)
Thanks for the video. How to play day phase with 3 players? If we will use 4 movement cards until the end of day phase - first player will make 2 movements in one day phase, while other players just 1 movement. Is it correct?
Sorry, I usually try to do my best to answer all questions on videos I've made, but I shot this long enough ago I don't recall the answer, and I lent my copy to a friend so I can't look it up for you.
Let's say the magic token is on level one on the magic track, and my spell token is at 0. I want to do both the snake and scorpion in one night. As long as I'm at both of the respective Obelisks, can I choose the order in which I learn the spells? Can I first learn the snake, and because I can only learn one level above, THEN learn the scorpion? I couldn't find anything in the rule book.
Hi Dustin, I do my best to answer all rules questions on my videos, but it's been long enough since I shot this I don't know if I had the answer to that question (or if I covered it in the video).
From the 13:50 part, you mentioned that Damage taken or Power gained would be skipped over players who have already rested. This totally makes sense, but I couldn't find it anywhere in the rule book... Where is it?
It's on Page 16, under "Resting". The book says "You can no longer Adventure or take part in rolling." On Page 13 under "Taking Damage" it also referenced that damage is only done to "adventuring players".
Question: example in a 2 player game my friend is resting and we have 3 goblin dices 1 lose one health then the dice he was getting goes to me?? or is skipped?? and then the 3th dice is for me too?
So I had a friend while playing this that placed his three heroes on different spells. He waited to rest until the third level of magic and was asking if he could hop all three i.e. he went from spell three with his guy to spell six to spell nine. legal or no?
also if you advance one temple at night and gain the powerup for the legendary weapon and then complete one the next day using a mushroom kingdom space can you finish the dungeon and gain the legendary weapon?
I think what's being asked is if the following is legal or not: If in the night phase you were to get your hero to the second last space of a temple. And also in that same night phase you managed to complete a temple that allowed you to move a legendary item up one place on your player board. And then in the following day phase you used another hero to enter the mushroom grotto space that allows you to move a hero one space forward in a temple thus completing another temple: and that other represents the temple to be done to allow stated legendary item to move to the end and be obtained. And the answer is it's legal.
Also I had a question about the fight, torch and scroll dice. You resolve them for each player but you did not say if they were resolved in a certain order. You did say in any order but every player moving at once seems chaotic. I assume we resolve them in player order for that round?
The players are allowed to do this simultaneously, but certainly feel free to follow player order if you think that would be more enjoyable for your players.
Hey Eduardo, I do my best to answer rules questions for our video, but I tend to avoid specific card effects and interactions as that's more than I can manage across all the games I cover.
Hey Rodney...great as always. Quick question. Don't the rules tate that you cannot collect more than one quest on a turn? I seem to remember reading that in the rulebook, though I have not yet played my copy. Thanks for the clarification!
I believe he stated that in the part about the day phase. However, in the night phase it could happen that you collect more than one while collecting temple rewards, for example (if I have that right).
That is correct, you can only complete 1 Quest during a movement turn, even if moving 1 Hero can complete 2 or more Quests. For instance in my last game, I moved a Hero onto a Map Card that achieved a Movement Quest, BUT the Region I landed in was the Mushroom Grotto that said "Advance 1 Room in a Temple", which put 1 of my Heroes into the Treasure Room of a Treasure Quest. I could only do 1, so I chose the Treasure Quest over the Movement Quest.
You are correct Shane. The restriction that we mention in the video applies to the Day Phase turns only. In the night phase you can collect multiple quests (as long as it's a different hero meeple gathering each one).
Watch It Played Can you claim a movement quest card during the night phase by having your guys in place before the night phase starts? (This is after already completing a quest during the day phase)
I think some people will thumb down a game because they wish we'd chosen something else to cover, but then again, some people may just not like me either :) It's perfectly okay. It's the internet, you can't make everyone happy, but it means a lot to know you enjoyed it!
Hi, nice video, sorry in advance if this question has already been answered: Regarding spells, I thought that you have to complete them in numeral order, that is, before being able to get spell II, aren't you supposed to have learnt spell I first? And considering I'm mistaken and you can learn spell II straight away (provided the needed conditions of course) does it mean that you have also learnt spell I? Thanks and Saludos desde España!!!
Hey there, in this video I covered the multiplayer rules. The other modes, you'll have to look into yourself. If you're curious about how it works, and don't have the game, you can find the rules PDF online. drive.google.com/file/d/1pUfqYZkUly-Pv1TxSJoVeVCRt0ye1zO0/view
Hi Rodney. I have a question. There is a mushroom grotto that lets you roll the dice and use any scroll and/or torch symbols to advance the corresponding meeples in temples. So if a have two meeples one space away from the last spot on two temples; lets say one in a torch temple and another in a scroll temple; and I roll 2 torches and 2 scrolls, I could advance both to complete the temples. In this case if they both complete a different adventure quest, does the "only one quest completion" rule during the day phase apply even if its two meeples completing different quests? The scenario is a little difficult to come up but is possible so I was wondering how the rule applies.
Since it's the Day phase, my sense of it is that you would have to pick one to complete at that time. "You may only complete one Quest per turn. If moving a Hero would result in a player completing more than one Quest, that player can only chose 1 Quest Card to take."
Can you learn a new spell multiple times when you rest? For example: if I am at spell level 0 and I have a hero learning spell level 2 and a hero learning spell level 4, and I rest when the magic track is at 2, do I get to move up to 4?
I'm not quite sure what you're asking, sorry. Sometimes text is a tough way to communicate rules questions. Check this thread and see if it is what you are referring to.
So during night phase, if two players finish a temple at the same time and there is a quest for completing that temple, how do you determine who rests first to get the quest? If I rolled the final two torches, for example, would I finish my turn by resting?
So, just to clarify...I enter a temple to do an item quest. I get to the end of the track and rest. I get the item...but if that temple is also a stage of one of my legendary items, I get to advance that as well?
@@WatchItPlayed I did a little digging, and using the dark side just means that goblins start out enraged, ie red side up. So it's harder to move around. In case anyone is wondering :)
At 9:00, can't players move by raft but just go the other way (counter-clockwise) to that same destination, hence avoiding one cost when crossing the middle aggressive goblin?
Poor goblins.. all they wanted is to live peacefully on those spawn lands, not moving anywhere, not raiding anyone, just have their normal everyday goblin life with their goblin daily activities... but then... the heroes arrived xD
Thank You for video :) Its great as always :) I have two question. If a hero is not standing on last space in temple and You decide to rest, is that hero going back to castle like hero on the last space of temple (but without treasure)? And second one. If Your hero is on arena to fight goblin and You decide to rest (and goblin is not dead), do you must go back to castle with that hero?
Thank you for the kind words Zen! 1) It will stay on the track (to further clarify, these are the only heroes you return to the castle when resting - everything else stays where it was: ruclips.net/video/vcHEtXrh98s/видео.htmlm28s) 2) Also answered in the above link. Hope that helps!
In the rule book it says that you can choose to rest or adventuring if it is your turn to roll the dice. If I am at one health lvl, and it is not my turn to roll the dices yet, but I want to rest to avoid taking damages from other players’ dice rolls. How can I do it? Can I choose to rest even though it is not my turn to roll the dice?
You cannot. When it's your turn, if you don't think you can survive until your next turn, you need to rest. There's a bit of push your luck involved in that decision.
Hey Rodney. What happens if myself and another player finish a temple at the same time but my opponent rests before I do? We both wanted to complete it for the quest points but to also advance our legendary items tokens. Since the other player rested before I did, he got the quest card. But what happens to my guy in relation to resolving the requirement to move my legendary token forward? Do I get to move it or no?
Great question! The player who rests first will get to complete the quest this round. The other player will be forced to return to their castle at the end of the round (even though they made it to the last step of the temple). They would not get to move their legendary token forward as they were not the first to complete the temple.
when I played this game with my friends, when you complete a temple for a legendary treasure, I put it on that dungeon on my player sheet until we are starting the next round then move it to the next symbol. This ensures we do not accidently move it through two dungeons.
Can I use forage ahead before gaining power symbols? So for example if I Had 3 power and had a max of 3, than use 2 power to forge ahead after taking damage could I than gain the power rolled?
If I have a max of 3 and currently have 3 power, can I use 2 power to forge ahead than gain my power rolled? So basically use my forge ahead ability after I have been dealt damage, but before I use my gain power dice roll.
@@WatchItPlayed So blue hero 1 moves on to mushroom Grotto and moves blue Hero 3 upwards in the temple track, then blue hero 1 moves away with the second move. Can Blue Hero 2 come by and activated the same mushroom Grotto again, or can blue hero 1 move off and move back on to activate the same Grotto again? Sorry for the long-winded questions on the game master of the group.
@@warrenvonwolfric4785 It can be activated more than once during the same Day Phase, each time you "move a hero onto it". The key is that you must have used movement to get onto that space (you can't have already been there, and just sat still). So in your example above, if Hero 2 'just' "moved onto the grotto" or Hero 1 is "moving onto the grotto", then you can activate that space again, even if it was activate previously that phase.
Hey Harry, I don’t review on this channel. I don’t feel I can say for someone else what they will or won’t enjoy. The videos are tutorials to show you how to play though, which may give you a sense of whether or not the game would appeal to your particular tastes.
Question: during the day phase I move a meeple to the grotto (move A) which lets me move another meeple up to 3 tiles (move B). If I can complete a movement quest on move A, can I 1) claim the quest and then execute move B, or 2) I must finish all movements before checking for quest completion? Implying that if I were to claim the quest on move A, I forfeit the grotto bonus action? Thanks!

I don't think I can remember it all with my tiny brain
Not a very elegantly designed game in that respect.
I dont see anyone getting past the rules of this game.
It seems like a lot. Got it yesterday and was overwhelmed as well. But after my first round it already clicked. It's really intuitive.

You would get both quests in that case. You can think of "a turn" as "each time a movement card is selected and used (or idled)"
Great video, love it. There's just 1 thing, when can a player rest? Only at their turn? Before rolling the dice? Or anytime in anyone's turn but before rolling the dice? Or something else entirely?
The player with the dice chooses to Adventure (ie. roll dice) or Rest.
🤔 yeah I needed this. I just got this game. This video helped
Very glad to know it was helpful - have fun playing!
Will there be gameplay videos for this game?
I avoid pre-announcing game plays in case my schedule changes (I don't like to disappoint).
Thanks for this one! Useful and very well made video. Been watching since your mansions of madness lets play!
Then you've been with us a long time! Thanks for that Jesse!
As always you make me want to buy the game AND play it with you. Amazing work!
What are your feelings playing this game with 4 people?
Hey Fernando, glad you enjoyed the look of this one too :) I avoid reviewing or getting into opinion based assessments on my channel, so I can't help you with the 4 player question - sorry!
Watch It Played no problems! Will we get (hopefully) a TI4 how to play? Heheehehe
27:05 at the resolution stage if the quest coin had been flipped so you just add a new card and not discard the further right card
You wouldn't remove or add a new card in that case.
Great work. I'd love to see a gameplay video too :)
Thanks for the interest Dean!
thanks for this very helpful video, Rodney! as always, good job! my fiance and I haven't played ours yet cos the rules get too confusing, but this definitely helped! :D a dumb question though (as I didn't see anybody asked it yet), does the health tracker track the total HP of all heroes? how do you deal with the individual tracking? Thanks! :)
The HP track at the top of your sheet is your total health (your individual heroes don't have their own health values)
I love your videos!
Also, this "tiny" game is certainly epic.
They pack a lot in those small boxes!
Say that there are 4 players. Before player 2 rolls after deciding to adventure, may player 3 or 4 decide to rest before dice are rolled?
Normally I would try to assist, but I’m traveling right now and will be for a few days. I hope you can get an answer in the meantime!
When laying out a new quest, if a third movement or item quest comes up, I prefer to get rid of the quest card that I just turned over, rather than the one that has been out and could potentially have someone in the middle of trying to complete. I feel that it eliminates frustration and keeps people more active and into the game.
Steve Fratus if you check out the boardgame geek forum for tiny epic quest, the method I mentioned is an approved variant by the creators of the game.
My 2017 printing of the rules states, in bold and italics on page 11, to "Discard the last card drawn and draw a new one until this [one of each type] requirement is met."
Thanks for the tutorial. Just got this game andni found the rules a little confusing. Thats what happens when i try to read rules after 11pm when the kids and wife are asleep and im already exhausted!!!
That does make it more challenging :)
Awesome. Great rules breakdown.
Thank you very much - glad you enjoyed!
These tokens look like candies. I'ld eat them.
If you do, lose one health.
Did you end up eating them?
Which is your favorite Tiny Epic game so far?! (AWESOME VIDEO LIKE ALWAYS!)
Thanks for the interest Graydon, I don't review or recommend on this channel, so I can't help with that particular question, I'm afraid.
Watch It Played understandable. Just ordered this on Amazon! Playing my first game this Saturday(4player)
Hope you enjoy!
Need you to do tiny epic dungeons please!!!
Thanks or the interest
Hi, you create great vidoes. I always try to find your tutorials and learn how to play. I have 2 questions about Tiny Epic Quest:
1. If there are two treasure cards in quest cards connected with the temple "A" and the player complete the track of the "A" temple, they get only one quest card or they can get both?
2. The torch and scroll dice results are use simultaneosely. So when two players complete the the temple track in the same time which of them gets the treasure card? How to choose the winner?
Thanks for the kind words!
1. I think you'll find that here: ruclips.net/video/vcHEtXrh98s/видео.html
2. Good question, my understanding is that you would resolve it in turn order (first player first, second player second, etc), but I don't have an official answer on that.
Hope that helps!
you don't get the treasure until you rest, and you can only rest when it is your turn.
Really helpful as always. Thank you!
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!
If there was a tournament of the most smallest game with the most rules to learn, that game wons for sure.
The put their games in a small box, but they play like bigger games a lot of the time.
A very helpful video, thank you. A big thumbs up from me.
Thank you kindly!
YES! Thanks Rodney! :D
You're very welcome!

Can you claim a movement quest card during the night phase by having your guys in place before the night phase starts? (This is after already completing a quest during the day phase)
Hey David, normally I would do my best to help with this kind of question, but I loaned out my copy of the game to a friend, so I can't look it up in the rules to check for you. This might be a good question for over on the BoardGameGeek rules forums for the game in the meantime. Sorry!
Quick question. So for each "fist" symbol on the dice, I get to hit a goblin. Does that mean if I have multiple meeples on multiple goblins, I may each goblin once PER FIST I have rolled? Or is each fist symbol "spent" on a single Goblin token?
Each "fist" symbol is spent separately. So to attack two different goblins, you'd need to roll two of them.
Thank you!! I love this game!
Hey Nikki, glad you've been enjoying this one!
Quick question after watching this EXCELLENT video! When using the raft to move between cards, if you are on the right region of a card to start, can you use the raft to move to the left region of a card vertically above or below the current card? This came up in our game and people were divided on if you could or could not move to the left/right region after making the vertical move.
Hey there, I'm always happy to try to help with rules questions, but I lent my copy of this game to a friend, so I don't have a rule book handy that I can check this for you. I'd suggest checking the rules forum for the game on BoardGameGeek or the publishers website. I hope you can find your answer there - have fun playing!
@@WatchItPlayed Thanks for getting back to me! I posted the question on BGG to see if anyone else has any idea on this one. Super fun game!!!
Hi Rodney, great job! I've got a question:
If you roll only 1 power during the night adventure but you already have your power on max level, does the second player get the power? Or do you have to roll 2 powers anyway for the 2nd player to receive one?
Hey there, I currently have my copy of the game loaded out and I shot this long enough ago, that I don't recall what the rules say on this. Sorry I couldn't be of more help!
As always Rodney, your the best. I just got the game and will be using this Friday night to teach the guys. I wish I could clone you to make more video's. I don't think your wife would like that. :)
Thanks Willy! Let me know if you ever do perfect he cloning process!
This video helps me very much
Very good to hear. Glad you enjoyed it.
Thanks for the video.
How to play day phase with 3 players? If we will use 4 movement cards until the end of day phase - first player will make 2 movements in one day phase, while other players just 1 movement. Is it correct?
Sorry, I usually try to do my best to answer all questions on videos I've made, but I shot this long enough ago I don't recall the answer, and I lent my copy to a friend so I can't look it up for you.
Let's say the magic token is on level one on the magic track, and my spell token is at 0. I want to do both the snake and scorpion in one night. As long as I'm at both of the respective Obelisks, can I choose the order in which I learn the spells? Can I first learn the snake, and because I can only learn one level above, THEN learn the scorpion? I couldn't find anything in the rule book.
Hi Dustin, I do my best to answer all rules questions on my videos, but it's been long enough since I shot this I don't know if I had the answer to that question (or if I covered it in the video).
Good video Rodney!
Thank you kindly!
From the 13:50 part, you mentioned that Damage taken or Power gained would be skipped over players who have already rested. This totally makes sense, but I couldn't find it anywhere in the rule book... Where is it?
It's on Page 16, under "Resting". The book says "You can no longer Adventure or take part in rolling." On Page 13 under "Taking Damage" it also referenced that damage is only done to "adventuring players".
Question: example in a 2 player game my friend is resting and we have 3 goblin dices 1 lose one health then the dice he was getting goes to me?? or is skipped?? and then the 3th dice is for me too?
Since your friend is resting, you'll be the only one who takes damage. So you'll be taking 3 damage and should consider resting yourself!
So I had a friend while playing this that placed his three heroes on different spells. He waited to rest until the third level of magic and was asking if he could hop all three i.e. he went from spell three with his guy to spell six to spell nine. legal or no?
also if you advance one temple at night and gain the powerup for the legendary weapon and then complete one the next day using a mushroom kingdom space can you finish the dungeon and gain the legendary weapon?
Good question, but no, you can only move to one new spell space (you can't chain several together).
I'm not following on that one.
I think what's being asked is if the following is legal or not:
If in the night phase you were to get your hero to the second last space of a temple. And also in that same night phase you managed to complete a temple that allowed you to move a legendary item up one place on your player board. And then in the following day phase you used another hero to enter the mushroom grotto space that allows you to move a hero one space forward in a temple thus completing another temple: and that other represents the temple to be done to allow stated legendary item to move to the end and be obtained.
And the answer is it's legal.
Also I had a question about the fight, torch and scroll dice. You resolve them for each player but you did not say if they were resolved in a certain order. You did say in any order but every player moving at once seems chaotic. I assume we resolve them in player order for that round?
The players are allowed to do this simultaneously, but certainly feel free to follow player order if you think that would be more enjoyable for your players.
Question about the bow can you use it against aggressive goblins?
Hey Eduardo, I do my best to answer rules questions for our video, but I tend to avoid specific card effects and interactions as that's more than I can manage across all the games I cover.
Hey Rodney...great as always. Quick question. Don't the rules tate that you cannot collect more than one quest on a turn? I seem to remember reading that in the rulebook, though I have not yet played my copy. Thanks for the clarification!
I believe he stated that in the part about the day phase. However, in the night phase it could happen that you collect more than one while collecting temple rewards, for example (if I have that right).
That is correct, you can only complete 1 Quest during a movement turn, even if moving 1 Hero can complete 2 or more Quests.
For instance in my last game, I moved a Hero onto a Map Card that achieved a Movement Quest, BUT the Region I landed in was the Mushroom Grotto that said "Advance 1 Room in a Temple", which put 1 of my Heroes into the Treasure Room of a Treasure Quest. I could only do 1, so I chose the Treasure Quest over the Movement Quest.
You are correct Shane. The restriction that we mention in the video applies to the Day Phase turns only. In the night phase you can collect multiple quests (as long as it's a different hero meeple gathering each one).

thank you for excellent work ! I truly hope that the dislikes are from those who didn't like the game and not your presentation.
I think some people will thumb down a game because they wish we'd chosen something else to cover, but then again, some people may just not like me either :) It's perfectly okay. It's the internet, you can't make everyone happy, but it means a lot to know you enjoyed it!
Hi, nice video, sorry in advance if this question has already been answered: Regarding spells, I thought that you have to complete them in numeral order, that is, before being able to get spell II, aren't you supposed to have learnt spell I first? And considering I'm mistaken and you can learn spell II straight away (provided the needed conditions of course) does it mean that you have also learnt spell I? Thanks and Saludos desde España!!!
Hey Raymon, you do not have to do the Spells one at a time. In the English rules, this is explained under "Learning Spells" on page 17.
@@WatchItPlayed thanks I'll read it thoroughly, anyway, your playthrough is quite clarifying.
Well done as always
Thank you kindly :)
How does the rule book fit in the tiny box???
It's a tiny rule book.
@@WatchItPlayed I meant cause there are so many rules ;)
Can a solo player win or lose, or he tries to make a highscore in each game? What is the win condition in solo mode?
Hey there, in this video I covered the multiplayer rules. The other modes, you'll have to look into yourself. If you're curious about how it works, and don't have the game, you can find the rules PDF online. drive.google.com/file/d/1pUfqYZkUly-Pv1TxSJoVeVCRt0ye1zO0/view
Hi Rodney. I have a question. There is a mushroom grotto that lets you roll the dice and use any scroll and/or torch symbols to advance the corresponding meeples in temples. So if a have two meeples one space away from the last spot on two temples; lets say one in a torch temple and another in a scroll temple; and I roll 2 torches and 2 scrolls, I could advance both to complete the temples. In this case if they both complete a different adventure quest, does the "only one quest completion" rule during the day phase apply even if its two meeples completing different quests? The scenario is a little difficult to come up but is possible so I was wondering how the rule applies.
Since it's the Day phase, my sense of it is that you would have to pick one to complete at that time.
"You may only complete one Quest per turn. If moving a Hero would result in a player completing more than one Quest, that player can only chose 1 Quest Card to take."
Can you learn a new spell multiple times when you rest? For example: if I am at spell level 0 and I have a hero learning spell level 2 and a hero learning spell level 4, and I rest when the magic track is at 2, do I get to move up to 4?
I'm not quite sure what you're asking, sorry. Sometimes text is a tough way to communicate rules questions. Check this thread and see if it is what you are referring to.
So during night phase, if two players finish a temple at the same time and there is a quest for completing that temple, how do you determine who rests first to get the quest? If I rolled the final two torches, for example, would I finish my turn by resting?
Resting is something you do on your turn, so if you rest first, then you'd be able to claim the quest first.
So, just to clarify...I enter a temple to do an item quest. I get to the end of the track and rest. I get the item...but if that temple is also a stage of one of my legendary items, I get to advance that as well?
Yep!
Ah yes. I got it yesterday! XD
By the way, Rodney, will you cover the Golden Mushroom expansion?
He never cover expansions.
He'll leave that to discover on your own.
lol, you got it Jason :)
Just out of curiosity, what are the "dark side" of the territory cards used for?
hey Patrick, I shot this long enough ago I don't recall, and I lent my copy out, so I can't easily check for you.
@@WatchItPlayed I did a little digging, and using the dark side just means that goblins start out enraged, ie red side up. So it's harder to move around. In case anyone is wondering :)
Great as always!
Thank you Patrick!
At 9:00, can't players move by raft but just go the other way (counter-clockwise) to that same destination, hence avoiding one cost when crossing the middle aggressive goblin?
You can go in either direction when using the raft, which might change the cost of travel.
Poor goblins.. all they wanted is to live peacefully on those spawn lands, not moving anywhere, not raiding anyone, just have their normal everyday goblin life with their goblin daily activities... but then... the heroes arrived xD
Goblins... so misunderstood.
Thank You for video :) Its great as always :)
I have two question. If a hero is not standing on last space in temple and You decide to rest, is that hero going back to castle like hero on the last space of temple (but without treasure)?
And second one. If Your hero is on arena to fight goblin and You decide to rest (and goblin is not dead), do you must go back to castle with that hero?
Thank you for the kind words Zen!
1) It will stay on the track (to further clarify, these are the only heroes you return to the castle when resting - everything else stays where it was: ruclips.net/video/vcHEtXrh98s/видео.htmlm28s)
2) Also answered in the above link. Hope that helps!
ahh... all clear now ... somehow i didn't understand it correctly on the first time. Thanks for help :)
Great video!
Thank you kindly Martin.
In the rule book it says that you can choose to rest or adventuring if it is your turn to roll the dice. If I am at one health lvl, and it is not my turn to roll the dices yet, but I want to rest to avoid taking damages from other players’ dice rolls. How can I do it? Can I choose to rest even though it is not my turn to roll the dice?
You cannot. When it's your turn, if you don't think you can survive until your next turn, you need to rest. There's a bit of push your luck involved in that decision.
Oh man, this was one tricky game ^^
Thanks for checking it out!
When your turn comes up do you roll the dice before deciding to rest?
If you're resting on your turn, you do it 'before' rolling. If you roll, you're not resting.
All the components fits inside that tiny box?
Yep!
Hey Rodney. What happens if myself and another player finish a temple at the same time but my opponent rests before I do? We both wanted to complete it for the quest points but to also advance our legendary items tokens. Since the other player rested before I did, he got the quest card. But what happens to my guy in relation to resolving the requirement to move my legendary token forward? Do I get to move it or no?
Great question! The player who rests first will get to complete the quest this round. The other player will be forced to return to their castle at the end of the round (even though they made it to the last step of the temple). They would not get to move their legendary token forward as they were not the first to complete the temple.
when I played this game with my friends, when you complete a temple for a legendary treasure, I put it on that dungeon on my player sheet until we are starting the next round then move it to the next symbol. This ensures we do not accidently move it through two dungeons.
Good tip!
Can I use forage ahead before gaining power symbols? So for example if I Had 3 power and had a max of 3, than use 2 power to forge ahead after taking damage could I than gain the power rolled?
Sorry Daniel, I'm not quite following this example.
If I have a max of 3 and currently have 3 power, can I use 2 power to forge ahead than gain my power rolled?
So basically use my forge ahead ability after I have been dealt damage, but before I use my gain power dice roll.
Yes, that is my understanding.
great thanks for the clarification sorry my question at first was confusing have a great day/night.
Also if I have max power and a power die is rolled that should go to me, does the next player have a chance to use it, since I couldn't?
That's a great question! The power you should gain is actually just discarded and would not go on to the next player.
@@WatchItPlayed thank you! Great video, please take a stab at my other question when you get a chance
About time! 😄
Ha! Sorry, the convention season caught up to me!
Gameplay NOW ! ( that simple) cheers
If you sit on The Grotto is it use multiple times such as every day phase?
A Hero who starts on a Region, must move off the Map Card and back onto it during a subsequent movement in order to take that Region's action again.
@@WatchItPlayed So blue hero 1 moves on to mushroom Grotto and moves blue Hero 3 upwards in the temple track, then blue hero 1 moves away with the second move. Can Blue Hero 2 come by and activated the same mushroom Grotto again, or can blue hero 1 move off and move back on to activate the same Grotto again?
Sorry for the long-winded questions on the game master of the group.
@@warrenvonwolfric4785 It can be activated more than once during the same Day Phase, each time you "move a hero onto it". The key is that you must have used movement to get onto that space (you can't have already been there, and just sat still). So in your example above, if Hero 2 'just' "moved onto the grotto" or Hero 1 is "moving onto the grotto", then you can activate that space again, even if it was activate previously that phase.
is this game good?
Hey Harry, I don’t review on this channel. I don’t feel I can say for someone else what they will or won’t enjoy. The videos are tutorials to show you how to play though, which may give you a sense of whether or not the game would appeal to your particular tastes.
Holy crap.
Rodney is the best.
You're very kind!
That's... a lot of rules. Hope it's also a lot of actual game.
Did you get a chance to play it and find out?
@@WatchItPlayed Yes. The game's actually not that complicated, but the volume of rules didn't quite produce the equal volume of fun for me.
Question: during the day phase I move a meeple to the grotto (move A) which lets me move another meeple up to 3 tiles (move B). If I can complete a movement quest on move A, can I
1) claim the quest and then execute move B, or
2) I must finish all movements before checking for quest completion? Implying that if I were to claim the quest on move A, I forfeit the grotto bonus action?
Thanks!
1)
Welp. I know realize I was playing 2 rules wrong. Thanks.
Happy to assist!
It's very complicated for a tiny game...
One of the things about these games, is that the Tiny part of the title has to do with the size and portability, not the rules.
“Tiny” box, not so tiny rules.
Indeed!
