@@1firstjoker Imagine xenomorphs that can mutate within hours to become resistant if not outright immune to whatever weaponry you are using against them. That have variants that are small and nimble with super sharp claws, while supported by others that have bio-guns shooting flesh eating fleas capable of burrowing through your body in seconds with gigantic variants armed with blades larger then tanks. And that is just very small tip of the iceberg here. That can ressurect their dead unless you burn their bodies to ashes. And that come in almost infinite numbers at you. And they have clear agenda - To nom nom everything in entire galaxy. And they can space travel on their own. And are controlled by hyper intelligent hive mind. And when I am saying that they want to nom nom everything, I mean it litteraly. All biomass is their for noming. They leave litteraly 100% barren worlds in their wake. They can have acidic blood, but it is rare for their blood to be so acidic as with xenomorphs. But if they needed to, they can mutate to have such potent acid for blood. That is tyranids

[@Kyuubi799]

From what I understand, going based off the 3-space house rule you had implemented on the Motion Tracker, you could have, on that last turn, moved into the suit storage, dropped the canister, used two actions to move into the hallway 3 spaces from the Garage, popped your motion tracker to potentially move the Alien into the Garage and been safe for the next turn... Of course I say that with the benefit of knowing which encounter card you got.

[@The_MightyJingles]

3-space "House rule" on the motion tracker. I like that. Sounds much better than "screwup."

[@davidfrederick9973]

@@The_MightyJingles Maybe an enhanced motion tracker, use an extra scrap to build it, gets you an extra range for it. Maybe also at the cost of limited uses, if three spaces is too OP.

[@marrs1013]

Or turn it into a one time use item by overcharging it to achieve a 3 space reveal but then you have to remove it from inventory. Can build another later, of course.

[@greyone40]

I remember playing "The Awful Green Things from Outer Space," which came in a Dragon magazine issue. It was only a two player game, and the random weapon effects made for a variety of strategies and difficulties. It was definitely of the same genre of space monsters that inspired games like this one. The thing that became exhausting for me with wargaming back in that era is the amount of time that had to be spent parsing the rulebooks. The more recent comeback of board gaming is good to see. Thanks for this play through. It helps to show that the rules and game mechanics are smooth enough to make it feel like you are playing a game and enjoying time with friends.

I rather enjoy watching board games being played as its the best way to find out if I would enjoy it myself. And the House Rule/Screwup is a traditional part of such things. It adds to the authenticity of the experience.

[@ShiningDarknes]

25:00 Jingles forgets he never ended Dallas's turn. 42:15 Jingles decides to craft another motion tracker for unknown reasons instead of preping crew with flashlights for the inevitable alien encounters and then also forgets to remove the two scrap he used to craft it. Jingles then makes an error in judgement and instead of taking the grapple gun from Brett and using it to move the alien (2 actions) then moving to suit storage and dropping of the coolant (3 actions). 44:23 Jingles forgets the entire reason he moved Dallas to suit storage and the reason Dallas already has a coolant is because he was supposed to drop the coolant at suit storage. Then makes a further error in judgement and uses the motion tracker to needlessly reveal a conceal token which moves the alien and then forgets to refund an action for revealing the alien. Further poor judgement causes him to move Dallas instead of either taking the incinerator from Parker and using it to drive the alien back to finish out the turn and not draw an encounter or do nothing and take the moral hit on the chin and get to move both Parker and Dallas when the alien inevitably jumps them (moral is only taken once regardless of number of crew in a location). 47:25 jingles makes a minor error in judgement and needlessly crafts an incinerator instead of a prod (he is dangerously close to dead and -2 moral damage would ultimately have saved him). 50:30 Jingles makes another (this time ultimately fatal) error in judgement and chooses to move the alien to Brett instead of Dallas ensuring the alien will move to Parker when Dallas, who is next, ends his turn if Dallas is unable to use a tool to move the alien. 53:33 Jingles forgets that no actually you can use an action to take any number of items from a crew member in the same space meaning he can move Dallas to Brett (1 action), take and his incinerator and grapple (since Dallas has the most actions he will be best suited to getting into and out of the garage which is actually the most dangerous room on the ship if the alien is in the nest) while giving him the coolant take to take to suit storage on his upcoming turn (1 action), move one towards the alien and use the motion tracker (or not since you thought it was 3 instead of 2 so either 2 actions or 1 action) if the conceal is the alien incinerate it, if not, incinerate it (either way 1 action leaving you with no actions if playing properly or 1 action if using your accidental house rule). Brett drops off the coolant tank. But actually knowing/remembering the rules and making non-run-ending decisions wouldn't make for good content now would it? Keep being crap old man, we like you better that way.

[@duncan680]

As token I want to adice a D6. The dice itself moves from player to player to mark their turn and shows the initial amount and remaining action points.

[@davidsnoek8686]

I really enjoy this when you play a boardgame, when you could do this once in a while, that would be appreciated :)

[@TTex11]

Heck have Eddie sit in on it too and also play some games.

[@jcorbett9620]

Definitely need some form of token to confirm who's move it is, if you are playing solo, although I think part of the issue was also concentrating on commentary for the video at the same time. It's also nice to see a board game that can be completed in a "reasonable" length of time. Most board games I've played, take hours or even days to complete, expecially the more complex stratagy ones.

[@tomkroebel4936]

I had the same issue of keeping track of who's move it is and managed to build a small alien egg from LEGOs! But it would have been nice if the manufacturer already iwould have ncluded such a token.

[@Hollywood113807]

So this was pretty cool Jingles. Personally I think that this would be better if when Moral reaches zero you lose a crew member and your Moral goes back up by 4 until you have no crew members left. At least when playing alone with 3 crew.

Nemesis is also an alien boardgame. If you liked this you might want to look at that aswell. It is one of my favourite boardgames of all time

[@TheHuma0815]

Nemesis is such a great game - every time I played it the game went into completely different directions, from burning up in turn 3 to being smeared across a hatch by the queen everything is possible

[@jameshucklesby99]

I enjoyed flushing people out of the air lock in nemesis. Great game

[@maastomunkki]

With two games under my belt, I would have to agree. We played with 4 or 5 players and with that, it was great. Don't know how well it plays with less players though.. Nemesis is one of those games where the rules are there just to create a cohesive narrative. With this, it is up to the players to make the events come to life. In my opinion, it borrows inspiration from both Alien and Aliens.

[@NefariousKoel]

@@maastomunkki - I ran part of a solitaire game of Nemesis thus far. My dice rolls were atrocious enough to give me two Infection cards in the first few turns, and have an alien chasing me before I ever got to the engine rooms to do any needed repairs. Much less find the Medical room and see if I was actually impregnated or check Navigation. It was brutal. Solo and co-operative games should be quite challenging so it's looking good! Had to clear the game off my table before my characters' likely death, however, since a friend was coming over to play a different board game. May try Nemesis Lockdown soon, too.

[@maastomunkki]

@@NefariousKoel completely agree on the difficulty. I enjoy tough co-op games very much myself. And to spice things up, in Nemesis, one can never be certain if there is a "Burke" among the crew.:D

[@brendanrobertson5966]

The biggest mistake was having Brett keep equipment and have to move the furthest to meet objectives with equipment. Need to be more aggressive about reallocating equipment to the best crewmember for the job (Brett make item, give to Dallas)

[@christophersims7060]

Right

[@jaywerner8415]

Looks like a cool board game Jingles. Minor errors aside, fun video. I suspect if you can spare the crew moral, its probably a decent idea to go fumbling around random rooms just to clear the encounter tokens while the Alien is FAR AWAY, and since the 2 motion trackers are Infinite use that helps do that if you suspect it might be dangerous.

Dallas could have moved up to bret and traded for the incinerator and used it on the alien. If you can trade those crafted items.

It breaks things up for a nice change. Slower pace. It's also nice to see the tought process and thinking through options/consequences. Plus, the help from future editing Jingles was also a nice touch.

There are a lot of co-operative board games out there nowadays, which means you can play them solo. Just find a well-reviewed one with a theme you like. Going analog like this is a nice escape from staring into monitors, TVs, and phones all day.

[@XMan-mi6gs]

Boardgames! Love them! I can recommand: co-op: - Spirit Island (be a god/spirit on a island and kill colonists) - Zombicide (zombies… survive…) - World of Warcraft boardgame Versus: - Tera Mystica (Catan/ticket to ride kind of game. Build stuff, score points) - Warhammer 40k Forbidden Stars (in the future.. there is only war. Fun with 4 players. Don’t play with friends tho… cause you will lose them). - Dune boardgame. Different ways to win, can also play solo. - Axis & Allies. Fun with 4 but don’t expect to go to bed soon… needs a lot of time. This Alien game got my interest. Looks fun. I will definitly try it. Thanks Jingles.

@@frantaf - Unfortunately I only have the core game of Arkham Horror 2e. After getting EH, it kinda took over the playtime. Have so many other games, AH2e just doesn't get table time anymore. In part due to not having extra (out of print) expansions, but also streamlining reasons. Haven't bothered with AH 3e since it looks rather thin on content without large investments.
