TY. I have not even opened shipping box of my new copy. So I was wondering what was in it. LOL. I played Divine Right back in High School along with D&D, 78-84. Including alot of Dragon Magazines extra rules over those years. Great game. I have all 3 versions, original(1979) , the 25th anni year version(2002), and this new one.. I was interested in what the "rules" were, for this new version. And this game was/is great for making "house rules" if you played it true multi-player (3-6) a few times with the same people.

When you drew the card that said both remove and reshuffle. What did you do with the card? Do you pick which one you want to do? Thanks!

Nice job thanks, I just ordered this today.

This was the game that indpired Christian Moeller to make Burning Banners how awesome!

I do not see the hills for sale on their website. Big time bummer 😞

We tried LoD about two years ago, using both the older print edition and online material, and like others found it lovingly constructed but overly dense and a bit clunky. All the bookkeeping made quests long and a campaign unthinkable. (we also found dice too random for events and substituted a card-pull system instead>) That said, we really liked the direction of the game and hoped a more polished version was possible. I'll be curious what you think of this latest version.

Just discovered your channel, I don't normally play fantasy games but this caught my eye (love, love, love the artwork!). As a solitaire game, do you prefer this or Burning Banners?

Have you had a chance to play this with two players? How do you think it is as a 2 player game?

Thank you for telling us your experiences with this book und the campaign you played. I've just read the book for the first time and I'm looking forward to try the scenarios. Your tips are helpful too. Will you make another trial sometimes? Maybe the player could insert some breaks between two scenarios when the status of his team is getting to bad, and maybe it could be given the chance to find some new members for his warband, when his warband numbers are less than half of the starting number? This could be explained by meeting someone from another team that was destroyed and distributed by creatures. I like this book for the many possibilities in creating a campaing.

Great vid, thanks for posting...we played quite a few games over the years but never built and painted all the ships. I will dig it out of the loft and finish it off after watching this...Cheers!

Thanks! Who makes those army and card containers you are using?

We throw the rulebook PDF into notebook LM and it’s easy to use AI to ask questions about the game

Great video. Love the explanations, the close-ups of the cards, and seeing the cards actually laid out during a real game.

Where'd you get those green, black and gray trays to hold the tokens?

Thanks so much for the kind words, Nevin. You've done a great job presenting the game. Your description of the Strike mechanism, for example, is so simple and clear... something that has seemed to trip folks up. I'm glad your group's had fun with it... and you're so right that you need to have the right crew when you sit down to play. I think the fact that it's a fantasy game has drawn folks from the Euro world into our secret wargaming society, resulting in a clash of gaming cultures. Luckily a few have stuck around long enough to get a taste of what wargaming can offer. -Chris

Recently got BB, just after Christmas. Upon opening the box, I found that there was a lot of stuff that really rubbed me up the wrong way, so I was prepared to try and re-sell. It was with considerable annoyance then, when I realised that it’s bloody fantastic 😡!!! I replayed the learning scenario 6 times just to see how variable the games mechanics and tactics could, and every play-through gave me a different outcome. It’s like a fantasy panzer blitz! In the couple of weeks before BB arrived, I’d been playing Divine Right. DR is conceptually far superior to the painful lack of creativity shown in BB (Vikings? Really? And while I’m at it, where ARE the fjords in Fjordland?), and I had a full game up and running right away, but I struggled with some annoying gaps in the rules. The map scales are quite similar between the games, but I found that BB offered many more strategic opportunities over surprising small areas. Part of this is down the avoidance of army stacking. This allows for a sacrificial style of play rather than DR’s fragile, high-risk, teetering stacks.

Great review Nevin. Definitely want to play this at some point.

Thank you for the video. Bought it some time ago and hope that it will come to the table soon.

love this game! And great job with the video

This is really superb. Please make a longer playthrough video, as you make an excellent job of explaining clearly. Great work 👍

how do they PLAY differently?

the perspective is dizzying.

Back in the ‘70’s my friend and I would start games of AH Blitzkrieg on a Saturday and still be playing on Sunday. Those days are long gone 😁. So, game length is relative, I suppose.

Love the mounted map and upgraded cards. I’ve got the original TSR edition. Played it a couple of times, back in the old days, but to be honest I mostly used it as a campaign setting for a D&D game.

I got the second printing with all content a couple weeks ago, and was lucky to have time to learn & play. The rule book isn't perfect, but it's not that bad. (I never tried first printing) Its a heavy game at first, but once you get the flow of all the admin stuff, it plays pretty smooth. I've only done 4 quests so we'll see how it holds up.

Great job! I own the game but haven't had the chance to play it yet.

Easy to understand video. Thanks.

Thank you for posting these Divine Right videos. I've got the original and the anniversary edition. Haven't played in years, and when we attempted to learn the anniversary edition, a friend and I had difficulties. It looks like these rules are much better organized. Really appreciate that the board kept the feel of the original. It looks bigger and nicer than the '79 edition. And it's great to see that much of the artwork by David Trampier was preserved. For anyone who loves his style, he also did the tokens for Avalon Hill's Titan boardgame. This looks like a great blend of updating the game and honoring its legacy.

I recently picked up Ager Sanguinis and Guiscard 2, modern versions of Cry Havoc games. Really nice presentation and components. I'll get them on the table eventually.

Huh. I just watched some reviews on Bloodstones (game by Martin Wallace) and liked it, but asked myself: is there any large-scale, grand strategy wargame-ish experience for 2-6 players... This might be it! Thank you for your review! (and I'm curious if you'll check out Bloodstones)

LOVE this review! I can't believe I never heard of this, let alone missed it in the 80s. I've got a retail copy on its way to me right now, so as is my habit, I downloaded and printed out the 34 page manual. But then...BUT THEN...I found the official 330 page ADVANCED manual. Oh my God!!

Seeing this 9 months later, but thanks; I needed to know the actual size of the maps and thanks to you, I do. Great video.

Well done. I agree with all your opinions and comments. Thank you for the praise of my map!

I think you made a mistake, it says in the book to put 3 items in the chest and tomb and 2 items in the crate. you removed 3 items from the crate.

Hi I'm considering buying some plastic doors for this game, but I still keep it sealed 😅 Would be enough with 12 opened and 5 closed doors for every scenario? Thanks!

Great stuff bud :-) I hope they release this and the other supplements into another book like they did recetly that would be perfect :-)

You should record a game!

Just watched it - great explanation. Starting to watch the Mistham series of games next!

My friends an I used to love the original version of this game.

Thanks for the review. I wonder how this game compares to Burning Banners by Compass Games.

Wow! I feeled like the astronaut from "2001" when you passed in the dark heaven legends section!

I ordered one. cant wait, I hope I can get help learning to play.

Rally for the algorithm!

i mean you are a aristocrat so sacrificing your sellsword is your thing :P

Barron sound about right

It shows you are supposed to gain an xp and a loot for each monster defeated during the round. So in multiple monster scenarios you should be getting the loot and xp for each one you are defeating, not just based on defeating everything in the room. There are a lot of caveats in the booklet that aren’t made clear due to wording and the training videos miss stuff too but overall its a fun game. It would be really useful to have a cheat sheet of the back of the booklet for each player and the status effects and functions.

I like the perspective all pointing to the crown and the river looks like a river not like clouds. Both boards are beautiful

The cthulhu mouth critter is from the Grenadier Traveller Alien beasts box.

What is the seize of the table? Is terrain completely self-made? Thanks!

Well done MrJank,congrats fantastic game.Also great overview.
