Have all three Resident Evil boardgames and ALL expansions that I still need to paint. Thats a daunting task because the there are a lot and I mean a lot of mini's between all boxes. The funny thi g is that they fixed the dark tiles for the RE3, but they messed it up again for RE1. A real shame. Still waiting for someone on Etsy te create some neoprene tiles. No luck so far.

Well, it's finally here... A RE3 remake, actually worth replaying. Thanks Crapcom, for finally licensing out the RE IP, to someone that cares about their respective industry...

On the one hand, I'm glad that the First Light campaign actually has an ongoing plot; the one from the core game box feels like just a series of random adventuring tasks that the King or Prince has the Heroes perform before suddenly turning into a race to find the Star of the West so the King can raise an army to fight Zargon, and then the Spirit Blade needed to "defeat" the Witch Lord so that the King has a chance at winning the upcoming battle. But on the other hand, having the events of First Light happen "at the same time" as those of the core box is really strange. Sir Ragnar having previously been captured by Ulag, who the Heroes in the core box fight after having saved him from said imprisonment. The Talisman of Lore sort of being in two places at once (though even that gets a special "give the players the Talisman of Lore if they don't already have it" line during The Prophecy of Telor). And then First Light ending with talk of mostly unrelated events that happened in the core box campaign but still suggesting that Kellar's Keep is meant to come next? I understand the idea behind deciding to make a smaller, cheaper, and thus more accessible version of the core box for people who don't want to spend so much money on the core box, but not making First Light a "these are the adventures of Rogar, Ladril, Durgin, and Telor" really feels like a missed opportunity. The rest of the story, about the Witch Queen Kessandria and Qwindrak, and even hints that Sir Ragnar is losing faith in Mentor and the Realm, could have easily been part of a true prequel campaign. I feel like the best bet for my own purposes would be to try and blend the First Light and core box campaigns into a single adventure. Doing so might help with getting rid of some of the "we'll get him next time" of defeating Qwindrak over and over, while also having the Heroes actually interact with the King, save Sir Ragnar themselves, and enter into the story that gets continued in Kellar's Keep.

Well done! Great video. I`ve gave that topic a lot of thoughts, too. This was very helpful.

mentioned the introduction of a mind point attack at 9:34 but it was actually in Kellars Keep as well (just got done watching that vid too :)

Thanks! I really enjoy your quality videos. 🎉 Great to hear the positives, but also the criticism! I agree that the bard spells could have used some creativity.

I now need zombie miniatures that are actually doing the thriller. Great vid.

Nice video as always. I made a rpg ruleset based on resident evil that these minis are perfect for.

Funny, I've been playing through RE1TBG for the last two weeks. I own all three and think they are great representations of the video games.

PSA: Steamforged is currently selling a limited run of the Kickstarter exclusives from the Resident Evil 1 boardgame. This includes the criminally-omitted and singularly awesome Albert Wesker.

I'm a big Fan of your HeroQuest-Content! I'm located in Germany, so for unboxings and stuff like that, german channels make more sense for me (to get a peak on the translated versions). But videos like this one convinced me to finally hit the Subscribe Button :-) Thanks for your Content and keep up the good Work!

Finally... it's been 3000 years...

One of the most tense/scary games I have played was one game of Space Crusade with my dad when I was kid. I had completed the mission and had to get back to the boarding pod. Only my Sergeant left alive. Nothing left on the board. Until that Genestealer appeared. Turn after turn it swooped in and inflicted a wound and my Sergeant just. Couldn't. Land. a. killing. Blow. In the end he died one turn away from the exit space. And the Blood Angels lost the game. Edit: It's over 30 years ago but I still remember that game.

No coverage of the boss behavior cards?

Can't wait to try this out with my survival horror gaming group

Some 3D printed doors from etsy helped a lot. GomersGadgetsNGaming sells a variety of accessories that can be used with Resident Evil, including hinged doors that can open or close and archways that can be barricaded and unbarricaded.

Ohhhh Dam you Kev.. always enjoy your videos, but don’t necessarily feel the need to purchase or add to my pile of shame.. Think I might have to invest in this, your review has got me really excited about it.. might be worth reviewing “Don’t look Back” I’ve resisted so far, but it’s easy to order all the expansions from US via black site studios now.. Keep up the good work👍

Dam still need a good ranger

I’m not a fan of a lot of games from them but this is easily my favorite.

Just LOVE dice with symbols ....'hmmm did I hit or miss ' ? ....well theres the explosion ...you do the math ! ..... exactly no long winded Mathematical calculations to do ! .... (GW take note ! ) ..... Great art too 👍🙏

ABNB always covering Heroquest stuffs and now another favorite, RE?! You’re awesome!

genuinely the scariest board game I have played is (no kidding) The Frozen Horror Expansion to HeroQuest! Every time I suggest breaking it out again, my players collectively shout "No!" and I think I can see them visibly shiver! 🥶

Yeah, doors and barricades could really have done with some emphasis. The map tiles remind me a lot of those from Descent: Journeys in the Dark. But those are, shall we say, geographically coherent. They're outside or a messy indoor dungeon. Sounds like an interesting game so far!

So we were doing the 3rd trial fighting the fates, we realized we had an extra talisman. The question was could we bury it at another place of power and take the level up? We saw nothing in the rules that said we couldn't so we agreed to do so, but then we ran into another question. Could we fight the fates at any of the 3 places talismans were buried or just the first 2 places?

I just played my first game of Heroquest, choosing the monk, and he was kind of broken. We had 6 players, with an increased difficulty applied by Zargon, and tore through our final boss in the first quest pretty much by himself. Smack two enemies adjustment, hit with additional dice, dodge damage when attached, then fire beam for the win. Two characters died while I ended up taking no damage this round.

This looks awesome

Probably nostalgia and being from the 80's/90's generation, but my favorite lineup is classic elf, classic barbarian, classic dwarf and classic wizard. They are the heroes I grew up with

When I think back to my old-school HQ days: Yes, Kellars Keep was definitively the most enjoyable expansion. Would even say it even was more enjoyable than the base set. With the new edition: bit disappointing that they did not provide at least alternative sculpts of the green skins...

100%! I am editing the quests as we go.

As much as I love buying more HeroQuest content, First Light just doesn't grab me like any of the normal expansions did. There's not a lot that comes in the box that I don't already have better versions of from the Avalon Hill release of the base game. Granted, First Light is designed to be an alternative to the base game rather than a full expansion. The new board design, while different, is not to my taste. Almost all of the rooms are completely separate from each other, and the artwork for the walls extends too far into the spaces that make up the interior of those rooms. The hearing that they decided to make the quest book (which would normally be the most enticing thing to me) not be a prequel but instead happening alongside the base game's campaign, but somehow uses all of the same artifacts, seems like an odd choice. Something like a Ring of Fortitude seems more generic, but Orc's Bane or the Spirit Blade are presumably meant to be uniquely named things.

There’s one thing I don’t understand. I’ve seen videos on KZbin about nearly a hundred official and unofficial HeroQuest expansions, featuring hundreds of new heroes, quests, cards, and mechanics. Can someone please tell me why we always keep playing on the same outdated, boring, and uninspired board?

Great video introducing new players to HeroQuest 🙂 As a forever GM I would like to defend the app as it allows me to play as a character for once without having to take on the Zargon role. There are some toggles to adjust difficulty for the AI and the dungeon ambient sounds and the Zargon voice-over outbursts throughout the quests are delightful!

I think the next character they could add should be a cleric or a priest, who specializes in healing, buffing and dealing with the undead enemies. Give them 6 holy spells they can use, like the wizard, with some regenerating ones.

The way that you narrated the adventure was lovely, I was caught by your DQ videos and so impressed that I finaly got my copy of the game and the two expansions on ebay, It worth the money spent for having this trip back in time to the 80s when I was a kid and used to dream of being a Hero adventurer!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

11:04 Appologies if this has been covered in a prior post, but I have to ask; Do you have a background in art or design? Your analysis of these minis and descriptions of why they look dynamic with the geometry is educational AF and I absolutely love it. I’d watch a whole series of yours just analyzing minis like this!
