so its a heavy metal inspired Christian board game

I always love seeing you guys do a video about a game I am interested in.. you're not only (and probably) the most attractive boardgaming couple out there (doing youtube videos), but your voices are so smooth and nice to listen to (which is even more important, to be honest..)! ;) so, let's see if I am going to back this one, will cost me around 165€ in total, so I need to be certain for this.. :D

Looks great. Somehow I had missed this game, probably because Mercado de Lisboa and Bot Factory didn’t seem that interesting. But this I will be getting as an addon with the Speakeasy campaign. Love The Gallerist too but I have an inkling that this might actually replace it O_o

If we have 3 cards in line but not in correct order, instead od visiting the Apostolle we could send cards to discard pile or we wait until we find card the symbol to rearrange cards in line ?!

Great playthrough! It was an instant back for me. I can understand Anthony's headache with learning a new Lacerda game. I was almost broken after learning Weather Machine. This looks so much easier to learn and teach. Oh, and yes, I can see Frances looking lovely in a black Flapper dress and Anthony looking dapper in a gold Zoot Suit with a nice Gatsby panama fedora hat! 😎Halloween's coming. Thanks for the smiles and the expert gameplay.

We love the standees in this game.

This is fantastic and your video quality and everything is top notch i wish your channel get more reach,love you from india ❤❤

We've played twice now, both times a three player game. Each play though took just at 3 hours to play. This game can move quick, if there are a lot of reputation boosts. But really slows down if players are sliding back on reputation. It's a very pretty game, and good idea. But we put a cap to end the game at 9 reputation instead of 12. That seems to help, shaves about an hour off.

So glad to see you covering the new Vital game! I always enjoy how you put together your playthroughs. Been a fan from log ago, and I know how to “interpret your review thoughts. Thanks for what you do, always impressive.

You didn't write that this one was sponsored and it looks like you didn't hit the special button...

The only Lacerda game that I have gotten to play in person is Kanban EV and it has stayed at the top of my wishlist. Most of these games are FAR more complex than any of my friends will be willing to play - and the price point kinda hurts for something I'll only play solo. But I will own one or more Lacerda games soon! Thank you for a great playthrough. :)

Always enjoy your videos.... Understand you really liked this game, but how would you compare this game to some of his others, for example, "On Mars"? Both from a difficulty to play and enjoyment? Given that it's brand new - but where would it rank for you both? More specifically - if I was thinking about getting this game or "On Mars" - what would be your recommendation?

Thank you for showing the game from a 2-player perspective. Unfortunately Lacerda is a designer whose games will just not get played at my house. *sigh*

Thanks again for an excellent playthrough. As much as I want to get this game, the cost + shipping makes it very hard to get for us.

Backed this instantly upon launch, and seeing you two have a video up for it as soon as I got home from work had me excited to sit down and watch your take on it. Always such a joy to "sit" with you and experience games I'm excited about. I very much appreciate your heartfelt words during the outro, and you've always been my favorite content creators. Much love!

You might have mentioned this, but game weight is similar to other Lacerta?

Thanks for the shout out, I didn't expect that. I love your content and thought you all would enjoy the trays! I'm glad you like them and our new Speakeasy game! - Brandon

The last few Lacerda games have been misses for me, this one looks like it checks all the boxes and the theme is a 10/10. I really appreciate your videos.

Finally a true return to form. All hail the king. Also, thanks for this video!

So great to hear how much you both enjoyed it! 🤩 With how busy it sounds like you both are, I greatly appreciate you still finding the time to play Vital's games. 🥰

Thank you so much! We are so glad that you like the game

Which do you prefer for 2 player games only, this or the Sun?

At 41 minute the fight withbthe mummy. Can you retreat before the mummy attacks?? Sorry I do not have rulebook Nice work :)

Nostalgia is strong with this one for sure. love the game, love deck building. it was an instant back for me, and I absolutely need the current expansion content that is (as of this message) currently on gamefound.

Great video! Thanks for creating it. It really allowed me to see the similarities between the video game and board game. The board game does seem to be a faithful creation of the video game and it seems to be well done, which is a rarity. Most board game recreations are horrible, but it doesn’t seem to be the case here.

Hey guys. Great video, I had a question about an action in around minute 52. When you reveal a monster action card, do you immediately replace it? Even if it's the end or turn or another action coused it to flip over, I'm asking in case if you're gonna reveal 2 cards. If it was replaced immediately. Would it possibly trigger a third card to be revealed?

Thanks for such a great playthrough! Would you recommend to go with Big Box option or to buy individual ones? I’m just so confused

Great video. Thanks for doing this.

It's on gamefound right now! If want it go get it!

Fun to see you guys play this one. Glad you liked it. Yeah the rules are little wonky. The clarifications (and helps with new kickstater should help with that) and rewritten rule book on bgg is nice. Just a few things i noticed while skipping through the video are a few rules forgotten or misplayed (for better or worse). Spell and specialty damage ignore shields. Unless specified there is a Range penalty attacking back row. You alluded in intro, but kept using or decided on cards after attack roll (which can't be done, no extra shield after damage dealt to mitigate). A.I. unit attack decisions at end (azure went after a weak unit when stronger was still/ closer). Game is pretty straightforward, but does take a bit to get used to the little things. Definitely not a super complex Lacereda game (which i also like), but no Azure/Azul either ;). Good video though. Good nostalgia fantasy game.

Thanks for playing this! I'm always searching youtube for more videos of the homm3 board game. I'd love to see more! Maybe a non co-op playthrough next time? 😈 let the sparks fly! You earned a new sub

Great video! I would recommend that you try the PC game it's really fun. The best version of the game is to get horn of the abyss expansion. There is online multiplayer with simultanious turns, also there are 2k players online daily. Besides that campaings are really fun and there are great single scenarios since game features map editor and communitiy makes wonderful maps e.g the devil is in the details map

Not watched yet, but looking forward to it.

Dont listen to anyone Francis, Video was great! I dont live to far from you guys. 1 of my favorite board game channels! ❤

I don’t know if this is ok for Christian’s to play… a real Christian is casting out real demons not playing a board game

Dude, I understand you when you try to lure your beloved half into the world of your hobby, and she doesn't care about it, but at the same time she tries not to show it. I'm waiting for my box with the game, so that I can play the same way with my wife.

Thanks for gameplay, looks good. Have you played any pure solo?

It says this video was sponsored by the publisher but you don't mention it in the video and you reviewed it (quite positively) at the end. Is this a paid review then? I thought you specifically said you didn't do paid reviews...

att about 50:00 you forgot the range penalty for the elves. that might be the reason it felt so easy :) minor stuff tho. great playthrough. good to see you guys doin playthroughs again.

Just one small point - and I don't say this out of criticism - just trying to help. Terminology is very important in this game. You said the word "Vulnerable" when talking about the red sectors. Be careful with that - Vulnerable is a term used in the game for something else. Red sectors are "Exposed". A lot of videos I've watched say "Monster can only take damage from the red sectors", this is not true - it CAN take damage from a red sector through all sorts of means. The only rule about Red Sectors is that "Red cards (Attack cards) can only be played in Red Sectors". Hope that helps. The game is a lot of fun, but we needed multiple games before it started to all click (And... I've not got past the prologue yet!) :)

I have been waiting for them to go to crowdfunding again because i did not want to pay the huge prices on ebay, etc. So glad they decided to go the route of a boutique store. I bought my copy (base game with character expansion), with free shipping and it will be here around November of this year. Much better than waiting for a campaign to complete and ship.

I'm glad you are covering this game. I didn't expect to like it, but I really do.

Thanks for covering this game; I think it is superb. I’d also give a compliment to Kingdom Death Monster and Aeon Trespass Odyssey, but these three games are certainly the best of the best right now for boss battlers.

Awesome, i hope these continue:)

Such a good game and thx for doing this!

Been so interested in this one but shied away from it because I heard for some it takes way too long to play and that it's overly complex. Board game reviews are so subjective, some people have a hard time learning the strategy of a game, some people get A.P., some people are disinterested which makes the rest of the table have a less than stellar time. It's not possible to get an "objective" view of a game since humans are much more diverse than that bahaha. Thanks for the video, been watching more of you guys. Love the down to earth homey vibes.

And Kanban EV?

13:45 give 1 courage, not 2!

Hi! Thank you very much for this real beautifully crafted video 👍(and for the first one too) and for the time I could spend through you in such a nice company watching the ways of playing this really beautifully crafted game - everything was really very nicely and clearly presented and explained (from the huge pile of information and possible possibilities, from which I have picked up very very little so far - but that's because that I've only had the game for a short time - beginner 😀) and as for your summary at the end of this video - you're completely speaking from my soul - I've learned a lot (I'm just the second day after unboxing and I'm walking around the unfolded setup of the base game with a manual in my hand - Black Powder is on its way - so you can certainly guess how I'm doing in the game .... But I'm glad I got the game.) Thanks a lot again !!! And I wish you many other beautiful experiences ....🖖😀

I kickstarted this game and I am on my first playthrough. I watched your video to supplement my play and the manual. So far, I agree with the thoughts you shared at the end of the video. So far I like it but I will need a few more plays to see how much strategy I will be able to use going forward and what the best use of all available actions and resources are to optimize your end game points.
