    Note: At 19:00 I say that the character should receive 8 hit points, but then I add 9 accidentally... it should be 8.

    I bought this game because I've always wanted to try D&D, but getting a group set up for the standard RPG would be very hard, and I'd probably make a horrible DM. Thank you for the entire playlist! It really helped me sort out the basics of how to play the game.

    I was just up in my attic and came across my old copy of Wrath of Ashardalon. Thought I'd see if anyone had a "How To Play" video to help refresh me on the rules. Imagine my surprise and happiness to see that Rodney had me covered...ten years ago, no doubt. Appreciate all that you do and glad to see you're still making new videos (and of course to your past self who helped me out with my rediscovery). Take care and thank you.

Man, I love it. Rahdo, Dan King, and you are responsible for no less than 125 purchases I have over the years since about 2015 when I entered the hobby, well over several thousand dollars.

    Excellent play with Rodney and his kids; breaking the episodes down to 7-20 minutes is a great setup. Very good information, special effects and the teaching of this game; Rodney and his kids keep you entertained all the way through. Just surfed around for this game and it is ranging from $25 - $65; definitely worth a spot on the shelf. If you are wanting to learn this game, this is definitely worth watching. Cheers Jonathon M.

    One thing I just thought of while watching the Mansions of Madness videos, the tiles for this game are annoying since they dead end into other walled tiles with no rhyme or reason. A bit more research is needed for the R&D department.

    Thank you so much for uploading these videos. I was a little hesitant to buy the game at first because it isnt cheap (costs about 100 AUD (Australian dollars) ) but thanks to you video I got a good idea of what the gameplay and mechanics were like before actually commiting to buy it. Also I found it really helpful how you laid out the rules because this made learning to play the game a breeze. I bought this game when my brother whom I havent seen for more than a year came over to visit from Singapore, and I can honestly we had so much fun playing WOA, without your videos I doubt this would be possible. =)

    Men, amazing video, thanks so much, now I understand very well basic rules of the game. But, I have a question, how works the fights when there's more than one monster, I mean, in the villain phase, if there's for example 3 monsters, all the monsters atack or just the monster that the player summon in his turn. And the monsters have preference to the player who summon that monster or what happen for example if I have the Orc Smasher, but he moves to a tile where is 2 heroes, but no the heroe who summon him, ¿for who is the atack ? hope you can help me, and hope you can understand me (Inglish is not my first language)

    Glad you liked the video Broko! You only activate the monsters assigned to you, during your turn. Unless on your turn, that same type of monster is controlled by more than one player - in which case all those same monsters will activate. If there is a choice of who to attack, the player chooses which hero will be attacked. You may find it helpful to watch a couple of our gameplay episodes as well, as we show some sample turns there.

    It does not block the monsters from entering a tile. When a monster moves to a new tile, it simply moves onto the scorch mark on that tile, or any space on that tile if that scorch mark is occupied.

    Hey man. Really enjoyed this series and it led me to buy the game, so thanks bunches. I'm not sure which video it was in, but when you talk about max health/current health/leveling up you say that leveling up doesn't increase your current hit points, and only raises your max. I pull my interpretation on that from the context of one of the villains in the adventure book, the rage drake. When he takes 6 damage (his max health) you flip the card over to enraged rage drake. His max health becomes 10, but the adventure states that he must take 10 damage before being defeated. I apply that context to characters. To be clear, I interpret the health listed on the character card as max health. The damage tokens, to me, indicate how many points away that character is from max health. When leveling up, the damage tokens still indiacte how many points away from max health that character is. Using your way, you'd have to use a piece of paper to keep track of each character's current hit points so that way there's no confusion when they level up. This is my only bugaboo, and this is my interpretation on the rule. I feel it adds more survivability to the characters and makes leveling up more meaningful. Thank you for the great series. Best wishes.

    Scott, thanks so much for your kind words and question. It's been awhile since I shot this one, so if you enjoyed, don't worry, I have gotten even more concise as time as gone on. Let's get to your questions. This particular game has a couple of modes. You can play games as one-offs, in which case if you do level up, that goes away when you start the next adventure. However, there is also a campaign mode included as well, and I don't remember exactly how it works there, as the scenarios are meant to be played one after the other, and leveling up might have a persistent effect (I don't have my copy of the game to be able to check for you, I'm afraid!). As an aside, I bounced over to your channel, and saw you're doing some art for Marvel Champions. That's a great game with great art - congrats! Also, subscribed. That Nightsmoke comic looks rad, I'll likely look into picking that up.
