15:12. You don’t roll but you still choose which corridor gets a noise token.

Also worth mentioning the Cautious Movement noise result overrides the exploration token, e.g. if you get Danger or Silence you still just put one noise token where you want (which is actually worse if you got Silence, but that's what the FAQ says). Great video by the way, very well produced. And even a linked correction!

This is one of the absolute best how to explanations of a board game that I have ever seen rivaling some of the best from Watch It Played and others. Very detailed with great production, camera angles, and graphic overlays to make it easier to understand. I think you may have found a new format for your channel. Hope you do more of these for many other games. Well done!

I just played my first game last night and we had a blast! Really awesome game! Only thing that I didn't like is that I have to search in manual explanation for every intruder bag development phase :D They could have add those icons on the rules summary page, so i don't have to go to page 10 for those symbols :D

The core gameplay doesn't seem that complex at all, but everything involves a special rule so you do have to reference the rules quite often. Encounters seem a little fiddly with the intruder bag and all the others rules involved. I'm sure it's more streamlined once we get to do it irl. Amazing video, very detailed and well explained everything. Thank You!
Nice video, thanks for that. I would have liked to see two important things in it, as those are always the ones that cause confusion, or cost time in our groups: 1) The bag development. This is detailed in the rule book, I know, but still, we get it wrong too often. 2) When talking about objectives it is very important to emphasize that not all 2-rooms are in the game, so some objectives can just not be fulfilled in some games.
Super helpful!
This has been very helpful, even for someone who already played, just to keep things clear. Thank you. Any chance you'll do the Aftermath and other expansions?
Great job!

Yup, you're correct! That's how the rules are written but this one was more of a personal preference that we've used when we played. I think once the general rule is understood you can organize the tokens whichever way you like without changing the game play.

I agree with you fully on the terminology for round vs turn, however, I really think you should make a point of sticking to the terminology used in the rule book for each game, to avoid confusion for people watching.
@nihlify

The official rulebook have used both ways with different methods, really too late to stick to one term. I was very confused when I read an online guide using the old terms and then read the official (latest) rules. In short, the way he's using rounds and turns IS how the most recent rulebook are using it.
28:56 Not 4 serious wounds. Rulebook: a Character with 3 Serious Wounds suffers any additional Wound (Light or Serious) they are instantly killed.
Well, I tried it for the first time. Solo play, got to the end. Destination: Earth, check. Contamination: Clear, check. Objective: Complete, check. Engines: Broken... I was just trusting luck at the end, there was 1 working and 1 broken engine (that I couldn't fix since the QUEEN was there), and I couldn't check the last engine since there were too many intruders on the way. I was already pretty beat up, so I didn't want to risk spending more time, so I just hoped for the best, 50:50 chance. It didn't come...

Thank you Paul! When I made this video I set out to only cover the core game experience. Once you know the core game, the Solo / Co-op things are much easier to understand!
Amazing work! Watching this setup tutorial it finally hit me. This setup reminds me of Runewars, Mansions of Madness 1st ed, Arkham Horror 2nd ed, Android (not Netrunner), Starcraft and so on. Essentialy all the good games of the golden age of FFG. So, the reason I like AW so much is that they are what Fantasy Flight Games should have never stop being. They are the new "golden age FFG". They learned so much from Corey Konieczka, Kevin Wilson and Christian Petersen. I just hope they keep up the good work they have being doing! They deserve the success of the recent KS campaigns.
Probably worth mentioning, if you get attacked by a larva and already have a larva on your player board, you gain another contamination card. You can't have two larvae on your board.

Design wise, it's because one player is out of the game and has nothing to do but watch; this incentivizes the others to escape and end the game quicker.
as far a "noise" goes. from what i understood, it's not "noise" that you make, it's "noise" that you hear coming from corridor X. so when you get 2 tokens in one corridor, that's when the noise is really loud, aka, an Intruder in your face. this idea doesn't match up with the moving carefully action, but it makes more sense. otherwise the corridor you're traveling through would always be the spot where you made the noise, not the other side of the room.
@boardgamereplay

Andre McMillan thanks for the heads up! Yeah you’re correct, that’s the actual thematic explanation for noise. I made the assumption based on how things worked mechanically and I should have read that section a little more carefully!
@mechasduo004
5 жыл бұрын
I'd say it still matches up thematically. The manual describes the noise as sometimes machinery or intruders. And if you're trying to investigate/escape a dying/infested ship and you just "move in", you might not be actively listening for noises when your adrenaline is pumping or you're just trying to get somewhere in the ship. Hence your suprise when its a 9 foot intruder trying to cut your guts out. However, if you're moving carefully into a room, you're more aware of what those noises could be and where they're coming from (which is why you get to place a noise token on your corridor of choice). just my 2 cents.

Also, don't forget that when you do a Careful Movement, you still have to place a noise marker. You just choose which corridor to place it in rather than performing a noise roll. This can really suck when you're exploring a new room and you reveal a Silent Exploration Token. I've had it happen before where I performed a Careful Movement into an unexplored room. The Exploration Token turned out to be Silence, but I still had to place a noise marker. I wasn't sure if I was doing this right, but then I found Awaken Realms' answer on BGG: boardgamegeek.com/thread/2106496/1dropping-object-2careful-movement Look at the bottom of the thread for their answer.

Sorry, just saw the edit at the top ...
20:26 If an item isn't used, such as when you're Searching a room and have to dispense with one of the two cards, it is returned to the bottom of the deck rather than discarded. Only when an item is used is it discarded. Sorry I'm a little late lol
Anyone else obsessed with this game? I play the physical and digital copy (on tabletop simulator) all the time and can’t seem to stop.
Omg must have this game
3mins in and I know I made a good choice clicking on this video.
Very good video. I read the manual and was a little bit overwhelmed by the rules (even though I understood them, there were too many rules hahahhaa). But after watching the video, the rules were much clearer! Just a small correction: I don't know if I missed it, but isn't the video missing the rule that if there is a closed door on the corridor an intruder is going to move (on the event phase), the intruder don't move but the door is destroyed?
Rule correction: you do not only put down one engine token on the board. You put both and they stack on top of each other. The top token indicates the current state (rulebook page 26).
Pretty great summary of the rules. I've played this twice now, but when we've played, I was told by the person who had the game that Careful Movement still generates Noise, but you choose which corridor it's in. Does anyone know if this is correct, or that no Noise is generated as per the video?
47:34 - "To discover a given weakness card, any character needs to be carrying the corresponding object and take the room action in the Laboratory." Are you sure this is correct? On Page 24 / on the Room Sheet, the rules state, "This Action may only be performed if one of the following Objects is in the Room (for example carried by the Character): Character Corpse, Intruder Carcass or Egg." We have read that to mean that the Object merely has to be in the room and not that it has to be carried by the character performing the Room Action. This is important for several reasons: 1) If the Scientist uses his Intranet Action Card to Analyse, does the Object have to be with him or in the Laboratory? 2) Say you kill an Intruder in the Lab. Do you have to pick up the Carcass before you Analyse it? 3) We've played before where someone will drop off an Object in the Lab for someone else to Analyse later. The person then enters the room and Analyse's the object without picking it up. I can see either way being consistent thematically ... help! Thanks!
Careful movement does still make a noise. But instead rolling the dice you can choose where you want to place the noise token. If there is no empty corridor you can’t make a careful movement.
Love this video, thank you This game looks amazing. Some aspects remind me of "Escape from the Aliens in Outer Space" and "Level 7: Omega Protocol" I think this game needs to be added to my collection. Would love to showcase this on my channel. I love the item crafting option.

Excellent video! One thing and two questions, concerning Search/Register, FAQ says you always put non chosen item at the bottom of corresponding colour deck. As for the questions, if you got scanned and a larva because of an infected contamination card, resting (or any other actions/events that causes you to scan again will get you killed? Second, if you are already infested an attacking larva will cause you to draw a contamination card but what happens to the larva differs from Spanish rulebook (larva stays on the room) to official FAQ (larva dissappears), which one is correct? Thank you very much!
