"Apparently there must be something nasty in the pool of blood to bathe in" You'd think wouldn't you. ;)

[@ganondorfchampin]

I'm not sure I'd want to drink a health potion of doom...

[@ryanjenkinson3266]

Great video and great game! I love your optimism about the high level hero you found too. You took it as someone charitable, but I read it it as you came upon a corpse to rob :)

[@rahdo]

Ryan Jenkinson lol, that didn't even occur to me, though i agree it's the more likely explanation :)

[@EclecticCamel]

Man, none of the big online stores in the US have this. Board Game Bliss does, but shipping to the US from even Canada is pretty outrageous.

[@kosterix123]

Wow. just wow. never heard of the thing, but now I must have it! fk awesome, man!

[@christiancantin5335]

19:45 couldn't you just have taken the shield+1 by paying 2 secrets token, so the location would be explored and you wouldn't get cursed anymore?

[@rahdo]

yup, i guess that's why the !! secret is there, to burn through the curse quicker, but getting a shield+1 isn't quite as cool as what you could potentially get from 2 events :)

[@christiancantin5335]

I agree, plus, at the time I wrote the comment, I didn't you had a pretty cool mechanic to get rid of those exposed tokens! :)

[@garygronk3863]

Mealy? Are they eating a peach?

[@justinglambeck6096]

not sure if i missed this but when he clears all the secret tokens from the cursed swamp shouldn't he have taken the exploration bonus that is listed right under the number of secret tokens on the card? maybe i missed him mentioning this.

[@rahdo]

do you have a timestamp for this so we can go and check?

[@DavesTacoPhilosophy]

21:31

[@PauloRenato23]

From what I see what is written in that location is a penalty that was in effect until he cleared the card... when he clears the card that effect goes away

[@DavesTacoPhilosophy]

there is a reward under the secret number. usually a couple coins. it's pretty small in white ink in the card

[@Zakmoir1]

Does the Pool of Blood area require a secret token to visit? It has the ! symbol on the card

[@rahdo]

i don't believe so... good question though. the designer has watched the video and didn't say that I played that wrong, but you're right that it could be confusing. i'll let him know :)

[@kosterix123]

Rahdo do you realize you just told a fantastic story?

[@quickaswink]

The boxart of this is so horrible, yet the game is so good

[@JeffreyQProductions]

I don't really understand the secrets mechanic. So you can "explore" any given card that has "secrets" on it by paying one "time." And in so doing you draw an event. So exploring a secret on a card = paying one time and drawing an event card. But on the cursed swampland card you had, there was an area with two exclamation points and a shield +1 on it. How does that work? Do you pay two time to uncover those two secrets and gain one shield from it? Do you simply remove the secrets and gain a shield? Can someone elaborate this for me? And also, when you roll for loot, why doesn't everyone in the party roll for loot? Since the enemy amount of creatures is determined by how many players are in the party, wouldn't it make sense to have everyone roll? If theres two people in your party, two rolls for loot, one for each person. They have an encounter and face two enemies. But instead you just roll one time and split one item between two party members. Not really too big a disadvantage. But if you have 4 or 5 party members, you still only roll for one item, between everyone, and face a higher number of enemies for the encounters? How does that make sense? Does the loot scale with party members? I didn't see you do that in the video. Same thing with collecting silver. Split between the whole party, but at higher party numbers this would seem more and more disadvantageous.

[@rahdo]

***** locations can always be explored, and most locations have different ways that you can spend time and secret tokens (as well as other resources) :) to 'explore the location" you travel there, and then spend 1 time (taken from the scenario card) + 1 secret (taken from the location card) which will get you an event (which is what happened when you explored). on the swamp card, you have 3 additional options: you can spend 2 secrets (again, taken from the location card) to get 1 shield (at 'the secret' spot) you can spend 1 time + 1 secret to do a peril and a Loot+2 (at 'the drowned temple') you can spend 1 time to do a loot-4 (in the 'mud') other locations will give you different options. some resources scale to the players, some don't. the amount of time and secret tokens you pay is the same regardless of player count, and the $ and item rewards stays the same as well. but expose & heroism, otoh, scales, so that everyone receives the reward, or pays the cost, with those...

[@JeffreyQProductions]

so that brings me to another question then. If you can just remove two secret tokens off of the swamp area and get a shield for doing it, why didn't you do it? Because you get a bonus of silver once all secrets are removed from an area do you not? And that seems like a penalty free way of removing a large number of secrets from a given area. That was the root for my misunderstanding in the first place. Thx for quick response by the way. Side note. Do you have any house rules that you've instituted when you play?

[@rahdo]

***** well, spending 2 secrets for 1 shield token isn't generally going to be as good return as spending 2 secrets for 2 encounters, where you can potentially get a lot more stuff. so that's the decision: do you do hang out at 'the secret' spot on the card to burn through secret tokens really fast (as you say) for poorer rewards, or do you explore, which very likely gives you better rewards, but which gobbles up more time (which is very limited)? :) and also, exploring is more dangerous as well, so that's another factor...

[@rahdo]

***** no house rules here. i am thinking about trying to play a full game over 3 sessions though, and 'saving' our progress inbetween, since right now, the game tends to be a bit too long for us...

[@JeffreyQProductions]

***** ok, I get IT! I just couldn't fathom this mechanic for the past three days. The determinant factor is the limited number of secrets on a given area! You can't just explore if there's no secrets, so it is a cost weighing of the number of secrets available to the number of time tokens you want to spend for possibility of better loot. But it's also worthy to get all secrets off of a given card to get the bonus underneath in silver. It finally clicked. Thanks for the replies rahdo.

[@averypottermaniac]

Thank rahdo, the run-through is great but the game isn't. It has too many rules per each step, it makes the playtime very slow. A lot is not explained fx encounter cards? We found it frustrating and we won't come back to play the game again. I can exchange it for another game hopefully.

[@mbalazs3544]

1:36 face-palm lol ok looks good 2:43 one-two skill in combination as forty two character is bit of an over statement, a character should have at leas 5-8 skill to be considered different than other, in games to me that is the bar minimum.
