Dale the Casual Gamer

As the title says, I consider myself a casual gamer. Winning is not the reason I play games, although it is nice on occasion. I play games to have fun, laugh with friends and to have an enjoyable experience. Gaming has been a hobby of mine for most of my life, and now making videos sporadically is a fun way to share the hobby.

My goal is to provide unboxing videos, and play-throughs for games that can be played solo, or "how to play" for other games so that viewers can get an idea if a game is ideal for them or not.

Certain games will play better with the right group of people. Personally, I prefer games that have player interaction and a bit of randomness, also known as "Ameri-Trash". My day job is very much like a "Euro" game, so I tend to stay away from heavy Euro's.

Hope you enjoy!

    Playing two handed solo is more difficult because the extra Encounter cards really punish you, I'm still learning how to balance the actions.

    Where did you buy such vertical stands for market cards? It’s awesome! Btw. When you casted a spell from 4th breach, bonus +1 should be applied only once. If there is keyword „additional” on a spell, it means that it is THE SAME INSTANCE of the damage and bonus is applied for each instance. Just FYI. Thanks for a video!

    Is it possible to put a cube in the "Play a bird" row in a column where a bird has already been placed this turn, when there is already a cube there? Example: on round 1, for my first action, I place my action cube in “play a bird” on the wet lands. For my second action, I “gain food.” Then for my third action, I place my action cube in “play a bird” on the wet lands AGAIN. So I would be placing 2 birds in the same habitat in the same round. Is that possible? Or would I have to complete the whole column (forest, dry, wet) down FIRST, before playing a bird in that column from right to left? Hope this makes sense. Thank you.

    First, congratz on the videos. I always check them before buying any expansion (I'd say sometimes I buy them because of your videos...lol). Second, I have a doubt: if we are playing on team mode and the villain is Magneto, how should we do since we don't have CEREBRO card for both teams?

    This is such a great game. I love some fan-derived house rules, particularly only having 2 actions per hero, and a mob difficulty variant where they always roll black dice upon attacking that are based on number of heroes. You also can't carry over damage to the mob leader. Perfect stuff.

    43:51 Sorry if I'm wrong, I'm learning how to play the game from your excellent series of videos. Wondering if you applied "driven off" on hostile groups mentioned in the rulebook page 28: DRIVEN OFF To check if a hostile group is driven off, count the number of hostiles from that group that are on the battlefield . If that number is a third or fewer than the number of hostiles originally deployed from that hostile group, the hostile group is driven off . When a hostile group is driven off, first, each hostile from that group that is on the battlefield and is not stunned (pg 33) makes one weapon action . Then the leader removes any remaining miniatures from that hostile group from the battlefield, and then replaces that hostile group’s encounter card on the combat track with the next card from the top of the encounter deck - this replacement card is kept face down . Then the hostile group's activation ends . This seems to imply if you've reduced a group of 3 to 1, the remaining hostile is driven off on their next activation. So if the hostile only does melee attacks just keep all heroes non adjacent before next activation. Killing the remaining hostile increases the chance of inspiration but otherwise, the hostile disappears anyway.

    Can you flip the character card once you use the passive ability? For example, if you started the round in alter ego form as Peter Parker, could you get the free mental resource from his ability then flip his card to hero side as Spider man?
