Always glad to see another Mage Knight play through. I just pulled out Krang for the first time the other day myself.

Wow, looking at this video I realized I was playing Mage Knight wrong! I didn´t know you could use Ranged/Siege attacks as normal attacks after Ranged Attack Phase. Thanks you Ricky, you´re awesome, It´s a pleasure to see your videos, they always teach me something new :)
Hi there Ricky! I'm so excited to see this because I've been waiting a while to see Krang in action. Your playthroughs on the box of delights channel are what inspired me to buy both the Mage Knight Board Game and the Lost Legion Expansion. And I'm hoping that you will convince me, once more, to buy the Krang character add on. Thank you for posting these videos :)
Forgot to reveal Mage Tower token? Thanks Ricky for awesome playthroughs - without you I would have never amassed enough courage to try out this game. The rules were too heavy, but your playthroughs guided me through.
wow, okay, playing faster than in others .. those hand are flying; someone is a pro-boardgamer here :) In watching the other videos .. the way you shuffle and work the cards is mesmerizing :O
I know I’m late to the party, but at 10:30 when you took 2 wounds into your hand so you had 5 total, and your hand size is 5, wouldn’t that knock you out and you couldn’t even attack the monster back? Genuine question, as I am new to MK, only played 5 times. Love your videos!
As far as i know you can't beat one monster in any adventure area and then come back for the other , you can either kill them both at once or noone dies even if you can kill one and leave the other standing.(meaning it's like you didn't actually kill anything and you force withdrawal if it's not an eligible space or you just stay on it if it's an eligible space).
You can for the deep mines in this scenario: see rulebook page 17 under special rules. Also, the same applies to Monster Dens, Spawning Grounds and Mines. It's only Dungeons, Tombs and Monasteries that see undefeated enemies get discarded. Thanks for the query! Best wishes, Rick
Yea he's ending his turn on a mine. Rest or not he gets a crystal. And all new players should start with the base game because the expansion only adds to and/or complicates things. This is great but only if you know all mechanics very well
bachman413 he was a "summoned" creature... he only exists during the block and assign damage phases, then he dissappears. ( see Summon Attack in the summary tabke on the back page of the rulebook). Good question !
Very aggressive decisions, I thought you are a more cautious driver :) I really like your channel, your explanations and your video editing (it must take hell of time). Even though my english isn´t the best I understand most of it pretty good. The publisher should really support you with free / exclusive stuff or information about pre-releases. I think lots of players (like me) get into touch with MK thanks to your great work!
It was a bit stupidly aggressive ! I wanted to get right into the action and demo Krang and the scenario... I am normally a bit more cautious... risks are only good if they come off !
You showed your rust Ricky. The very first move was goofed up. You have to discard another card to use Improvisation which meant that his new card had to go. Of course that probably would have prevented you from charging blindly into the mine.
Ricky, great video as usual, but, during the very first fight, you could've saved the crystal and use one of the white mana dies in the Source instead.
I would like to know how to pick up the tiles for solo player in such scenario (mine leberation). as the rulebook says: contryside tiles: 8, 9, or 11 (remove only tiles with no mines on them)?? thank you
For the solo game, you will need 8 countryside tiles. So, you grab all the countryside tiles, find all the ones with mines on them and count how many you have. If you have less than 8, shuffle the remaining countryside tiles and add as many as you need, at random, to your mine-tiles until you have a stack of 8 tiles in total; if you have more than 8 mine-tiles (this is possible when you add expansions) then simply shuffle them and draw just 8. The result is you have a stack of 8 countryside tiles. Give them a final shuffle and that is your stack. Does this help? Rick.
Around 9:00 you choose your first skill token. In the basic rules it says to not use the token with the shaded background because it is interactive, did that change for Krang? Just wondering.
+Xolair Good question. The ones with the black head icon are the interactive skills and should be removed; the ones with the white head icon are the cooperative skills and replace the interactive ones. The cooperative skills were introduced in the Lost Legion expansion.
Ah, thanks a lot for your reply. I did not know that. But I did not read the Lost Legions rulebook yet. I found a rare copy of Lost Legions here in Europe (it seems to be sold out almost everywhere) and are waiting for it to arrive. Thank you so much for your videos by the way. They are quite helpful. I gave up on the game before and your videos flattened the learning curve and convinced me to give the game a second try. So I repurchased it! :)
Rick, I have been suggested one can replace a wounded unit with a new one, the new one not taking the wounds of the previous/replaced one. What happens to the used units wound cards?
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but I did notice something in your second fight. When you took the 2 wounds that had brought your total wounds in hand to five, which was your current hand size. The way I understand it, that would have been a knockout causing you to discard the 2 non wound cards you had in hand immediately before being able to use them in the fight. Like I said, I could be wrong so please correct me if I am.
Hi. It's a good question, and one often missed. You are only knocked out if you receive a number of wounds equal to your hand-size, and added to your hand, in a single combat. i.e. wounds already held in your hand or added to your discard pile do not count. Hope this helps ! best wishes, Rick.
Could you not heal after you bought advanced action from the offer, as it is considered a special action (lost legion rules?)? +Is there any info on new expansion? I have bought MK because I have watched your previous playthrough and immediately knew, this is the game for me, so I am glad to see some new videos from you.
Hey Ricky! I believe you made a big mistake. When you fought the brown enemy for the second time, you drew 2 wounds. So now the number of wounds in your hand equaled your unmodified hand limit. This should have resulted in Krang being knocked out, and all your cards in your hand are discarded when this happens. So you could not have killed the monster....
Hi Roel, the wounds already in your hand do not contribute to being knocked-out; you only count wounds added during a single combat. Hope this helps ! Best wishes, Rick (From the rules: "Wounds already in your hand at the start of the combat do not count towards this total.")
I just wanted to clarify... At about 10:30 you took another 2 wound cards plus your previous 3 which is equal to or greater than your unmodified hand limit (5) which result in a knockout no?
Joe Burgueno the ones already in your hand don't count. Only count the wounds taken in a single combat when checking for knockout. I could have had wounds in my hand, taken a few more in combat, and it still wouldn't have knocked me out. Take 5 or more in a single combat, then I'm gone :) Hope this helps ! best wishes, Rick
Ricky Royal Then I have bean playing that wrong, read the rules know. Thats why its so good to watch your videos, you learn to play stricter according to the rules! I was somehow thinking it had 8 in ranged attacked phase and 4 in close combat!
Yes, that 8 in Ranged is tricky... when I was planning this attack I thought I might take him down with 4 ranged...but as you say, it's always 8 in ranged. Nasty !
Hi Ricky, one question. Are we allowed to assign damage to our units when we go and fight enemies inside a mine(dungeon) considering that the unit doesn't come with us? I saw that you assigned one wound to your unit during that combat.
@@BoxofDelights Thank you! I wasn't paying attention to the scenario description. I've just bought the game some days ago, so still going through the rules. That helped ;) BTW, great channel!
Hi Ricky, I have a question. If I end up with some wounds in my hand at the End of a Round and no other action cards in my hand, do I need to shuffle those wounds in the Deed deck or keep them in my hand? and draw up to my hand limit at the start of the next round (counting those wounds as well)? I don't find this covered in the rule books.
Hi, I wonder why at approx 9:55 you said something about lost to dummy so he gets to reveal another 3? I do not understand why exactly? I cannot find anything about this?
BlueBunnyTheThird Bad sound quality probably didn't help, but I said I had forgotten to do dummy on the last turn, so I did two dummy turns in a row... not a special rule, just me being forgetful !
There are really two modes of play: FULL CONQUEST and BLITZ CONQUEST, both of which can be played solo, co-operatively or competitively. This is the core of the game. There are also 5 additional competitive scenarios. You could use three of these scenarios for the basis of a solo game, like I demonstrated here for Mines Liberation, but two of them are kind of 'capture the flag' type competitive ways to play, so don't work solo or co-op. They don't change anything really from CONQUEST, they just change the winning condition for a competitive mode to play. So the term 'scenarios' is used loosely in this game !
+Ricky Royal btw great videos and I got mage knight for Christmas cause your videos inspired me to get it and it's a really good game even though it's pricey
.....My dream just came true, Rick is playing Mage Knight again!
Always glad to see another Mage Knight play through. I just pulled out Krang for the first time the other day myself.
Wow, looking at this video I realized I was playing Mage Knight wrong! I didn´t know you could use Ranged/Siege attacks as normal attacks after Ranged Attack Phase.

Thanks for doing a new round of Mage Knight. I'm so much looking forward to this and the next series with the bigger expansion.
Thanks Mark! I'm not sure if there will be a next expansion :( Wishful thinking on my part... we can only hope !!
MK! BEST BOARDGAME EVER!!!!
Can't get enough of MK! What an awesome game! But....poor Krang! He really got a beating!
Oh...do you have this game Ben?
Maille Stint Yes.
Next episode we will learn how to do Healing and Resting !
Forgot to reveal Mage Tower token? Thanks Ricky for awesome playthroughs - without you I would have never amassed enough courage to try out this game. The rules were too heavy, but your playthroughs guided me through.
Oh yes! I DID move adjacent... thanks ! I was so fixated on the mine :). Good spot.
As he stated the orcs in mines liberation are not rampaging and cannot be provoked. You enter the mines like an adventure site
Whoops... okay :) I should have known not to be a smartass with you Ricky, King of Mage Knight playthrough's :).
Wow Rick, you turned into a pro MK player. Amazing speed!! :)
Yes. More Mage Knight!
wow, okay, playing faster than in others .. those hand are flying; someone is a pro-boardgamer here :) In watching the other videos .. the way you shuffle and work the cards is mesmerizing :O
:D cheers Jeff!
I thought it was sped up. It sometimes went a bit too fast for me.
I know I’m late to the party, but at 10:30 when you took 2 wounds into your hand so you had 5 total, and your hand size is 5, wouldn’t that knock you out and you couldn’t even attack the monster back?
Genuine question, as I am new to MK, only played 5 times.
Love your videos!
great question: for knock-out, you only count the wounds TAKEN this turn; so any wounds in your hand at the start of the turn do not count.
Hey Ricky noticed ghost your game set up is a bit different. Can you do a quick video explaining your logic with the table setup? Much appreciated
As far as i know you can't beat one monster in any adventure area and then come back for the other , you can either kill them both at once or noone dies even if you can kill one and leave the other standing.(meaning it's like you didn't actually kill anything and you force withdrawal if it's not an eligible space or you just stay on it if it's an eligible space).

Good advice ! thank you :)
Love your videos. Question about the wurm you fight in the first mine. why did you discard it after taking wounds?
bachman413 he was a "summoned" creature... he only exists during the block and assign damage phases, then he dissappears. ( see Summon Attack in the summary tabke on the back page of the rulebook). Good question !

A new Mage Knight play-through with Krang?? One "Like" is not enough!
You showed your rust Ricky. The very first move was goofed up. You have to discard another card to use Improvisation which meant that his new card had to go. Of course that probably would have prevented you from charging blindly into the mine.
I discarded Tranquility.... :)
He plainly stated that he was discarding Tranquility and then discarded tranquility. That "rust" is clogging up your eyes and ears, he's rust free.
Awesome! Thanks for the video!
thanks! hope you like part 2 :)
Planning on any new mage knight video's soon? I love the huge multipart playthroughs, it's zen and relaxing.
I hope to do Shades of Tezla at some point; it keeps getting bumped!
Ricky, great video as usual, but, during the very first fight, you could've saved the crystal and use one of the white mana dies in the Source instead.
I could yes - there were two white and one red in there. Good idea ! Thank you :)
At 11:00 when you attacked the mine again you only needed 4 attack as you didn't engage in the range/siege phase.
The lower value only applies if the attack is Blocked. That would have been neat though ;)
Ricky Royal ahhhh mage knight. I have been using that rule wrong for a while now. That sure makes those enemies toughrt though...
I would like to know how to pick up the tiles for solo player in such scenario (mine leberation). as the rulebook says: contryside tiles: 8, 9, or 11 (remove only tiles with no mines on them)?? thank you

Very helpful comment, it means that this senario is so tough to beat. : )

Hahaha yea no mistakes for Ricky
:) apart from one little one.... I'll show you at the beginning of Ep2 ...
Rick, I have been suggested one can replace a wounded unit with a new one, the new one not taking the wounds of the previous/replaced one. What happens to the used units wound cards?
MrIgor20011 hi, yes, you can replace a unit. wounds go back to the supply.

The cards you acquire go to your deed deck, not your hand. Unfortunately for me ! I don't have anything I can share on a new expansion....
Oh yeah, heh, forgot about that, since you always draw it back into your hand. Thanks
10:30 I think you have 5 wounds in your hand here, which knocks you out and makes you discard non-wound cards at this point?
Nvm, you answered this question in another comment; only wounds *added* to your hand count towards KO.
Hey Ricky! I believe you made a big mistake. When you fought the brown enemy for the second time, you drew 2 wounds. So now the number of wounds in your hand equaled your unmodified hand limit.

Ricky, forgot to ask. Would you recommed to start playing MK with the base game or with the expansions for a first time player?
Cheers
Mark
Base game will give you all you need.
Great, and thanks for the fast reply :-)
when u have assulted city and concured the city will u be in the city or in the space where u started the attack
in the city
thanks
When fighting the Shadow why did you accumulate 8 close combat power? Didn't you just need 4?
He is "elusive" so uses the 8 armour if left unblocked :(

see 5:06 - mines are like Dungeons with the exception that you can use your units. Hope this helps! Thanks for watching, R.R.

I don't find this covered in the rule books.
I've found the answer: they get shuffled back into the Deed deck.
Hey Ricky, so happy to see Mage Knight again! at 4:35 did you draw up to your hand limit and then skip the dummy player? I didn't see in mentioned
i did skip dummy once...next turn I commented on it and played dummy twice :)
Ricky Royal Oh, my mistake! You did indeed. Sorry about that!
noo worries ! Good spot :)

Oh ok, I even didn't notice you forgot that, my bad! Thx for clearing it up. Nice vid btw.
cheers ! Good question all the same ! :)
just bought this to play solo seeing the tiles moving about i am thinking of using small magnets to hold them together anyone else tried ?
I haven’t. but, in all honesty, the tiles moving has not been a problem.
@@BoxofDelights have you got any contacts for printing the scenery ?
@@robertovers1863 hi, I’m not sure what scenery can be printed.

Yes. It's end of turn sequence :)
