ARKHAM HORROR: THE CARD GAME | Board Game | 2-Player Playthrough | The Gathering

[@MajorLeto]

You two playing Eldritch and Arkham Horror (Board and Card-game) is something i'd watch for days. Very immersive effects in the video too. Thank you very much!

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Thanks a lot @MajorLeto. Really glad that you are enjoying our videos. Did you see our Arkham Horror Card Game Dunwich Legacy campaign? We had a lot of fun with that one. We appreciate you taking the time to comment! Thanks again!

[@MajorLeto]

@@AllAboardBoardgames I did not even know of that one yet. Though, my Card- Boardgame addiction, especially for Lovecraftian games, is currently reigniting. I will definitely check that one out too. 👍

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

@@MajorLeto Lovecraftian games are great! I'm a big fan of Mansions of Madness, Arkham Horror: The Card Game & 3rd Edition and that whole genre. The story telling is awesome and the narrative really drags you in. Dunwich Legacy is a campaign expansion. We did all 8 scenarios as a campaign recently on the channel if you are interested in seeing it. We had a great time with it.

[@im2yz4u17]

Just bought the game today! I am so happy to have found and reviewed your playthough. Great job.

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

That's great. Arkham Horror LCG is one of my favourite games. Hope you have a great time playing it! Thanks a lot for watching!

[@craigcodlin5249]

Loved this playtrough... as stated by others, I'd love to see you guys tackle a full AH campaign with your own constructed decks! One thing I saw is that at 32:13 you passed the test where you committed Guts but didn’t draw a card (as instructed on the Guts text). This is a common one to miss, as you're just happy to have passed the test and it's easy to forget that you also get a bonus! This also happened at 1:17:02 when Pat contributed Manual Dexterity to Glia's evade attempt (when she passed, Pat should have drawn a card). All the best!

[@craigcodlin5249]

Also, at 47:55 Glai draws the skull token when using the Baseball Bat, which means it should have been discarded based on its text (thematicalky, the bat breaks).😮

[@craigcodlin5249]

At around 50:30 as soon as you are both in the hallway and the round ends (after the upkeep phase) you can spend the six clues you've collected to advance the Act. Generally, it is best to advance the Act as soon as you can fulfill its objective. 😊

[@craigcodlin5249]

Loved the cinematic ending, complete with audio effects!

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Hi Craig! Thanks a lot for the comment. You were very observant! Tackling a full AH campaign does sound like a lot of fun, so we may indeed do that at some point. It's a game I really love, and I did get the Harvey Walters investigator pack, so would love to take him out on a campaign. The Guts bonus is indeed easy to miss. Just getting rid of Frozen in Fear is great and getting a bonus on top of that is amazing! Sorry we missed that. Same with Manual Dexterity! And the baseball bat!! I have made notes in the Klingon subtitles. Yeah, it would certainly have been a good idea to advance the Act. Delaying is never good in AH! Anyway, really glad you liked the video. This one was from the early days of All Aboard! Cheers!

[@MrTimothydmckeon]

So helpful. Thank you!

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Great! We're delighted our video was helpful to you. Cheers!

[@tuung91]

Thank you for your suggestions!

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

You are very welcome. Let us know if you get around to playing the games solo!

[@alexanderwolf1050]

Hi Glai and Pat. I‘m little late to the Party, but now I also have to comment one of your videos. I just started to play boardgames this year and now I‘m addicted. When I buy a new game, I play it by myself, afterwards i always watch your playthrough of the game. It Helps me a lot to learn more about the Games. I love how you show every single card ❤ and you have a playthrough of all Games i buy/like! I‘m Sorry to say, but i found a mistake while Glai fought the „swarm of rats“. She used Baseball Bat at 47:41. it says, When you draw the Skull-Symbol, you have to discard the bat 9:24. Anyways, Good Job and well done! You have my Support in the Future. Keep it up 😊 Greetings from Germany

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Hi Alex! Thank you very much for your comment. We are truly delighted that our videos help you to understand the games. It is always great to hear that we are making a bit of a contribution to this great community! Thanks also for letting us know about the error. Actually, we have a note about that one in the Klingon subtitles. That is where we post errors that are found after the video has been released as we can no longer edit the video at that point. Thank you very much for your support, and we hope that you keep finding videos that you like on our channel. If you wish to see more Arkham Horror LCG, we have a full Dunwich Legacy Campaign that we completed recently! All the best to you and all in Deutschland! :-)

[@alexanderwolf1050]

Ah, I should have activate the subtitles. This will help in the Future 😁 After I play Dunwich legacy, i will surely watch the whole campaign on your Channel. Have a Great Day you 2!

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

@@alexanderwolf1050 Yes, please always activate the subtitles because, especially with a game with a lot of rules like Arkham Horror, we sometimes find mistakes that we made during editing or through comments from viewers and that is where we put them. Have fun playing Dunwich Legacy! It is a great expansion and actually the scenario "The House Always Wins" is probably my favourite of all the scenarios I have played so far! You have a great day too Alex! :-)

[@joebananas2003]

Thanks for the video, great content and helpful also

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Thanks a lot for watching! Really glad you liked the video!

[@joebananas2003]

No probs, we played the 1st game and after watching your video it cleared up a lot of rules we were clearly getting wrong (and i mean a lot) 😅​@AllAboardBoardgames

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

@@joebananas2003 Haha! Yeah, there are an awful lot of rules in this game, and there can be some strange interactions between the cards too, but it is a fantastic game and as long as you are having fun that's the main thing. Some easy to miss rules to look out for are: 1) If you draw weaknesses in your opening hand leave them aside and shuffle them back into your deck after you mulligan. They don't count towards your 5 cards. 2) If a card has the keyword "Peril" you may not discuss with other players before making a decision on what to do, and other players at your location cannot commit cards to that skill test. 3) Other players at your location can commit a maximum of 1 card each to your skill test. 4) A monster does not move if it is exhausted UNLESS the card causing the move says "Forced". 5) Anything that does not cost an action does not cause an Attack of Opportunity, for example, Fast actions or reactions. 6) "Retaliate" only happens after a FAILED skill test. 7) If you need to draw a card from your deck and there are no cards left, reshuffle your deck and take 1 horror. 8) Even if you use all the resources on a card, do not discard that card from in front of you. You can discard it if an encounter causes it to be discarded, or if you have no slots left and want to play a card to that slot (hand slots, amulet slots etc). 9) Tests on Encounter cards in a player's threat area can be done by ANY investigator in the same location. So, for example, you can resolve another player's Weakness if you are on the same location. 10) Actions with the Lightning icon can be taken multiple times in the same phase. For example, with "Hard Knocks" you could spend 3 resources to get +3 to your combat. Hope this helps and have fun!!!

[@joebananas2003]

This is amazing, thanks​@AllAboardBoardgames

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

@@joebananas2003 You're more than welcome! Let us know how you get on when you play again.

[@travisr9839]

Another great playthrough. And of my favourite game. Some cool production touches too, like zooming in on the cards and even the sound effects. One thing I like about your videos is that they’re a good mix of gameplay and tutorial. BTW, I hear the accent 😅. I’m currently at Trinity.

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Travis, thanks a lot for your comment. Arkham Horror LCG is a really cool game indeed. I am very impressed at how immersive it is in the theme and it has some really nice mechanics. We glad you enjoyed our production too! Good spot on the accent indeed! I have been through the grounds of Trinity on many an occasion. I hope you are enjoying it there, though I am sure that the pandemic has put a bit of a damper on things...

[@bernardgodfrey3499]

Very enjoyable play through. I really like the laid back style and the back and forth between the two of you. It's a tough game to record and keep coherent, you nailed it. 🙂

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Thank you very much Bernard. We're delighted that you enjoyed the playthrough, and we really appreciate the feedback. That very much helps us to stay on the right track with our videos!

[@littlebluecubes]

Excellent play through. Perhaps the best video for beginners looking to play with their core set. The one possible error was when Pat discarded the Flashlight when it was out of resources. He should have kept it and it may also have helped him when he would have had to discard an asset card. Anyway, liked and subscribed!! +1 for Glai’s lovely accent and pronunciation :)

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Thanks a lot Little BlueCubes! We're delighted that you enjoyed the video and Glai's lovely accent and pronunciation! :) Thanks for the tip on the Flashlight too. That is a good point - it would be great to be able to discard an out-of-battery flashlight instead of a more useful card! We appreciate the like and subscription. We hope you find some other videos on our channel that you enjoy!

[@fieserfactsack9635]

Pat reminds me a lot of report of the week. Similiar smile :)

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

I don't know Report of the Week, but I'll take it as a compliment! :-)

[@glenyoung8507]

Clear, easy-to understand instructions. Thanks Pat and Glai!

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Thanks Glen! We delighted you were able to follow!

[@rattenusrattoonus1880]

2nd scenario when? :d would love to see yall play campaign mode with decks you've built yourself!

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

We'd love to get back into some Arkham Horror LCG if we find time. Maybe we can do a campaign some time. It's so much fun!

[@SqwertSoda]

Y’all are the best

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Thanks a lot! :-) Very nice of you to say. We appreciate your comment!

just found this channel. love it.

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Thanks Jive! Really glad that you like our channel. We appreciate the comment!

[@samvisser9408]

21:07 you drew a token and treated it as an autofail, however the autofail should be a red token, so you may have actually got that clue!

[@samvisser9408]

Also, at 21:25 you should have received a resource from Dr Milan Christopher for investigating successfully!

[@samvisser9408]

Should also say that your production values are excellent, best I've seen for this game. The two of you are very likable as well, which helps with the watchability of the video 😊

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

@@samvisser9408 Hi Sam. Thanks a lot for your comments and really glad that you enjoyed the video. As for the Autofail token, that was actually a mistake we made when setting up the bag. It was meant to be the red autofail token that we put in, but the token we drew at 21:07 was the one we mistakenly put in, which is why we treated it at an autofail. Correct too about the resource we should have received from Dr. Milan Christopher. Sorry we missed that!

[@samvisser9408]

@@AllAboardBoardgames Aaahh no worries, making mistakes on these LCGs is par for the course! Didn't mean to be too hard on you, just making sure you weren't being too hard on yourselves!

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

@@samvisser9408 Cheers for that man! It's good to know about the errors so we don't make them again going forward, though I guess there is always something that is going to be missed with so much going on!

[@davebown8145]

Great video, best pace to learn I've found, thanks. One question, where did you get the investigator area mats? Thanks

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

That's Dave. Really glad that you liked the video. The mats are just from another game - Stone Age I think. We just wanted to use something to keep things tidy. Thanks a lot for watching!

[@beerzgaming3096]

Really enjoyed the video. I think early game you have not payed for the doctor when getting rid of the fog or have I missed it?

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

@BeerZGaminG Thanks a lot! It's great to hear that you enjoyed the video. As regards the doctor, I think that you are talking about 20:50 where I used the Dr Milan Christopher card to get rid of the fog. I do not have to pay for this card, because I am only using it for the booster icon and not putting the card itself into play.

[@beerzgaming3096]

@@AllAboardBoardgames ur right :D thanks for explaining!

[@randyrixten6468]

When moving from the Cellar to the Attic shouldn’t it be two actions because you need to move to the Hallway first?

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Hello Randy. Yes, from the Cellar to the Attic should be two actions. We actually have a note about it in the Klingon subtitles. Thanks a lot for watching! Hope you enjoyed the video.

[@tuung91]

Hey Pat/Glai, would you recommend atkham horror for solo play with 1 or 2 Investigators? Are there any other board games you would recommend for solo play?

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Hi Tu Tu. Yes, Arkham Horror LCG is great to play solo too if you are into this type of game. I have played it solo with 2 investigators, but you can also play with just one. The game I like best to play solo is Mansions of Madness. The app works as the DM and it integrates very smoothly with the game. It's a lot of fun and very atmospheric. Another great game with similar mechanics to MoM (and also with an app) is Journeys in Middle Earth, if you prefer the LoTR theme. I am a big LoTR fan, but actually I think MoM is a better game. Hope this helps!

[@sylvainmailloux6253]

Nicely done 👍 That little black bag gives me nightmares sometimes 😉

[@AllAboardBoardgames]

Hi Sylvain! Haha... yeah, that is a very scary bag indeed. It really adds some tension in the game, and I can see how it could haunt you in your dreams! :-)

[@AlessandroScaltritti]

you are beautiful together ❤️

Aroubd 1.22 - playing an event card should cost 3 resourses, right. She doesn't pay for the car...also not for the cat card #imconfused

Hi Mydance Vienna. I'm not sure where you are talking about as 1:22 is the introduction to Wendy Adams. Please check the timecode and let me know, and I will check it out for you. Thank you.
