Such a great Villain with a lot going on. Also, if you've read the (fairly short) comic Emperor Doom (it's from the end of the 80s, this is not God Emperor Doom even if they mistakenly used his art for the mini) the implementation of the story is done really well! Spoileralert: in the comic the Heroes also win by defeating Purple Man (who is trapped by Doom in order to amplify and misuse his hypnotizing powers to control every citizen in the world). Now at 1:04:00 it says add a doom bot AND (not or) add a Crisis token to each doom bot without one in Dooms and both adjacent Locations. So you should have added 3 Doom Bots and like 6 Crisis tokens in those 3 Locations. And adding the doom bot as part of the overflow MUST be done. Otherwise it would have read: "if possible, add a doom bot....". The first run was a loss because you had 3 Locations with no empty slots, each couldn't add a civ and therefore triggered overflow: which should have put 3 Doom Bots in the remaining 3 Locations. However, now you can't add the remaining 2 civilians that needed to be added to those Locations and also in these Locations you trigger overflow: again a Doom bot should be added but there is no empty slot remaining on any Location and the Villainous Plot is succesfull.

“With an empty slot” is there so you don’t double-trigger the Overflow condition. If it’s just the next clockwise location, and the next clockwise location is full, you would trigger Overflow again. If all the empty slots on the board are full, you cannot add a Doombot to a location, and the loss condition triggers. You got a really unlucky cascade effect from the villain card, plus neglecting the upper locations.

I am so looking forward to this game, looks to be so much fun!

1:09:15 - Yes, each player does the second part of the card where you draw and discard cards… but the choice of resource type is made by the player who revealed Mana Drain, so Terence would be losing all his energy resource cards

In the rulebook it says you can't move out of a room with enemy in.into an empty room or is this in pre alarm.?

Looking forward to another video! Loved this playthrough, really has me considering backing. Hoping another playthrough will help me decide.

very nice playthrough. great explaining each turn choices and rules.

Where do y'all stream at?

This game definitely doesn't need the minis as the cards work perfectly well? I am probably going to back the core box and possibly add the extra heroes.

I wonder if it would break the game to allow the player to choose to either roll their current die level or (if they are higher than level 1) roll one level lower (a d6 at level 2) but get an automatic +1? I feel like the stealth executions from assassin's are kind of still there but much harder to pull off because of the random tiles connections. Thanks for the demo!

I like the theme of this game a post apocalyptic tower defense survival game. But i hope there's is a character progression, different areas to explore or leveling up rooms. I hope there would be. Fingers crossed!

This game looks materially weaker and very simplistic relative to the other Dragori classics like Tanares. I will certainly not back this game.

Spoilers so early, thanks

I was expecting the "rooms" to be added sooner or more frequently. The first one was added in the first 10 minutes of the game and the second after 40 minutes. The third one after 50. And I know that you have been answering questions and explaining stuff, but it's interesting to see that the estimated game time is 1 hour, but the play time here was 3.

Interesting game and theme. Was waiting for a playthrough before deciding to pledge or not. After seeing this, it’s not for me. Characters seem very static with a rinse and repeat game play but enjoyed watching you two! Helped me with my decision.

Thanks for the review! I was super excited about the steampunk theme here but tbh the game looks super boring so I’ll pass this one.

Is this a custom quest/map?

Rules corrections: 18:37 Black arrows next to a test means you must do the test only if you move in the direction of the arrows. But you can move in any direction. White arrows on a line means you can only move in that direction.

I read the special rules for Rick Jones as: the active player can either move Rick Jones with them when they move, or spend a heroic action to move Rick Jones to an adjacent location from a location that both the active player and Rick Jones are in, ie the condition for moving Rick Jones is that the active player must be in the same space as Rick Jones, rather than being able to move Rick Jones around the map regardless of where the active player is. Looking at the wording now, it is confusing. Don't think it mattered in the end regardless of the ruling though, great game!

The pirate dialog is so cliché. I was hoping that in the Tanares fantasy setting they would be less pirate cliché and really explore the space in light of the established Tanares lore. But I guess it's in line with the pirates they created for Tanares.

This is my Christmas present and I am looking for to it so much

Thanks you! I am super keen for this needed a pirate game in my collection.

You guys are so awesome 😊 great work on the fund raising.

Derrick's on crazy pills, Alien is the best sci-fi movie ever.

Loved the gameplay! Sounds very promising this game

Did you ever play Tanares Adventures? I started playing it, but squirreled to 4 other games, thinking I'd go back to it. And I will go back to it. I didn't get very far into the game play. All that to say, this looks like a less expensive, trimmed down (streamlined), easier to table, version which I'm happy to see! Comes out Tuesday on GF. Hoping they don't go crazy with the huge miniatures and extras unless it's to add a whole different game themed with cyborgs, robots, and other SkyNet/Terminator stuff. LOL. (That's not going to happen, but a sci-fi theme would be fun. Pirates are very similar to Fantasy in Tanares.)

Woohooo. Man, I wished I could have seen that live. You guys are awesome! Thank you so much! I really loved your playthroughs and it looked like a great game for one offs.

Thanks for this playthrough! It was great seeing you play this together. Eek!

I’m sorry that I missed this live. Entertaining video. My wife and I finally tried out the Supervillain mode this last weekend and really enjoyed it. My ex-wife saw the Pink show here in Indianapolis last month and said it was really great. I’m glad Kim enjoyed it as well.

Juggernaut is so tough...

This looks like a very chill and relaxing game. I'm backing it. I just don't know if it's a one and done game or if there are some decisions being made in later parts of the story. It's pretty cheap for the base game, too! Who needs resin dice, wood tokens, a miniature you don't use, and metal pins? I am adding the neoprene mat though. Replayability is a small concern for me. I re-read books. My brain is weird in that I won't recall all of the story moments, but do remember a few of the bigger ones. But once I start reading the book again, the story floods back into my mind's eye. So it'll be interesting to see how this one works for me.

Thanks for this. No Marvel United Megaverse Monday this week?

Nothing like some healthy, happy news with my morning coffee 🥰 Can you do this every day for the next 4 years? 😉

I thought Freedom Five might work better than Defenders of the Realm. Let's see how they land.

Re: Boss Battler, maybe implement a prestige system?

Love coop corner

It tells you to grind the figure to a fine dust if they are kod and you have to use a different figure.

All signed up. $3000 is great for donations! Really enjoyed the live streams.

I'm with Kim on this one: most of your choices aren't very varied. I see the similarity with pandemic, but marvel united gives me more significantly varying choices each turn. There are only 3 types of AI cards, too. I have watched 3 plays of this game and I'm not feeling the variation. It is very cute, though.

How would you rate the game, 1-10? Still painting my minis.

Can anyone recommend a game similar in mechanics that's available now ? Preferably something not too complex Thanks in advance

HAHA! When Steve says "I guess punching is the kicker" this made me giggle for a while :D

Just realized that the United team deck will allow DC superheroes United.....😊

Are y’all playing with the rule of removing the double and single wilds to use both team and equipment? I’ve been thinking I might ignore that part of Dom’s sheet myself when I can do this.

Thank you for playing another round of Maladum. The instruction booklet was overly complexed for such a simple 2 action economy.

Missed it live but this was h i l a r i o u s 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🎼🎼🎼🎼🎼

Morning

I'm very sure guards don't draw simultaneously. In step 3 of the round turn you decide which guard is going first (activate) - you then draw and play their full turn (steps 4 to 6) then at step 7 guard 2 activates, draws their chips and takes their full turn (repeats steps 4-6). See Rule book page 47-48 and the ref guide (Guards Turn). Sorry to be the rules police but it's not a just a mistake it's a fundamental rules error with a very large impact. I'd go as far as saying it breaks the game. I'll admit you had me checking the manual :P I just restarted with the upgrade pack and it's got some good changes and is a really fun game. Very video game like in many of it's mechanics which i personally like, even the new puzzle quests are lifted directly. I never found it too grindy originally as it gave you tools to mitigate the grind making those tools rewarding to get... also due to difficulty spikes early it taught you to grind just in case... :P

At 22:40, you forgot to move Okoye to The Mound.
