DOOM The Board Game Tutorial

[@40kbolter]

Thank you so much for this video! you did an insanely good job in production, he needs more subscribers and exposure.

[@kevinross1806]

I love playing this game. There needs to be a guide to painting these minis

[@christinafrank4767]

There is

Around 9:15 you say discard 3 cards for 1 argent energy. You can discard up to 3 cards for 1 argent energy per card discarded.

[@CynicallyAwesome]

You're right, i completely misspoke. I'll add an annotation with the correct rules, thanks

[@BGBarbarian]

CynicallyAwesome I wish I had your tutorial yesterday. I had to learn the game quick and under pressure. Luckily it's a pretty straight forward game with another great rule book by fantasy flight.

[@CynicallyAwesome]

yea, I feel like this game is the result of what FFG has learned from their previous games like Imperial Assault and Descent. I like the simplicity

[@elysiumgaming2866]

@@CynicallyAwesome what do the black die mean?

[@elliotg1048]

Thank you for taking time to do this video. I'm playing this tonight with friends on TTS and needed some extra revision!

[@Ivans650]

It's official, I'm buying this game. Thanks for explaining the rules and showing off how cool the game is :)

[@indeimaus]

So when you have 2/3 marines you don't only take the "Taking Point" or "Combat Vet" you also get the other bonus cards like "Squad Captain" etc? Also what kind of box are you using to keep your tokens in?

[@CynicallyAwesome]

You only take the squad card that matches the number of marines in the game, the rest are unused and returned to the box (if playing with 4 marines, no squad card is used) Squad cards are different from class cards, which each marine will always get at the beginning of each scenario

[@bad0719]

Thanks! You just dramatically expedited our game night lol.

[@CollectionTHX1138]

I just picked up the game. This is a god explanation. I like the combat sytem of drawign a card to quickly defend without much thought or math.

[@themandolorian1547]

Thanks best turtorial for this game!

[@40kbolter]

Would be awesome if he did a play through of Doom from start to end with one marine.

[@mityatrubetskoy]

Hey, thanks for the tutorial, though I don't get at all how the stunning is done? I understand the effect but HOW is this effect gained? Can't find it elsewhere in rules... Thanks

[@eyecontactleadsto]

Thanks for the helpful explanation. What is that little tray you keep your tokens in?

[@CynicallyAwesome]

I make tray inserts out of foam core. easy and cheap to do.

[@Decorear]

We have played a couple games. Its a exciting game, everything goes fast. at 2:37, Where do the rule books state about the Class cards that you said draw 2 cards and pick one? My marine friends claim that no state on the books and i can't find it either. I want to draw 2 like you since some class cards seem a bit unfair to invader player.

[@CynicallyAwesome]

Guy Decorear in page 3 of the operation guide- Mission setup: step 4. Choose class cards- shuffle and deal 2 to each marine so on and so forth Hope that helps!

[@marccoverdale9082]

I wish you could do a full play though, I would like to see how to play the invaders cards, and when to flip portals, because the game I played the portal open after a Marine went through the door and they would go around the map no one opened up any other door(first mission) and the cards for inveder does have a chance after the first marine attack if you do not refresh your deck

[@perishcurfew]

Also, when playing with just the 1-2-3-4 peeps, you need to add those extra cards to their base hands from those Class\Squad cards, if any. In you example, one Marine should have a hand size of 4, and the other a hand size of 5 though out the whole game due to those Class\Squad cards.

[@BGBarbarian]

Nice tutorial!

[@abigor3817]

Thanks for the tutorial, after spending 4h to read and understand most of the rules this video helps to sum up and understand everything better. However I have 2 questions: 1 - why does marine fill their hand after their turn ends, I thought they fill it same time as invader does (during the preparation phase). No argument if that's stated in the rules, I just missed it then. 2 - I have trouble understanding 'while defending' term. Cards such as armor, I need to play before the dice are rolled for the attack against my marine, or I can choose to use the card after the dice were rolled?

[@CynicallyAwesome]

if you look on the back of the "learn to play" or "rules reference" book, you'll find the quick reference page- on the section marked "marine activation", it says "after resolving actions, he draws action cards up to his hand size", so this is different than when the demon player draws event cards as a part of the status phase earlier in the round. on that same page you'll find how "while defending" works in the "attack overview" section- while defending effects happen AFTER dice are rolled and AFTER the defender reveals a card for defense- THEN you may choose to use a "while defending" effect. These rules go into more detail in the rules reference book, but I hope the quick reference page clears that up for you.

[@abigor3817]

Thank you for the reply, it seems I have to re-read reference book few more times so I don't miss similar things

[@sillyfella2009]

Yay! A doom board game! Except that doomguy got a day off and decided to not be in the game. Also its 230 dollars for me on amazon

[@DarkSiderSS0]

Does the board game come with everything? like the marines, the monsters and etc? because i wanna buy one, and not sure if one board box is going to be enough. I have never in my life played those type of board games xD. Btw, nice tutorial c:

[@CynicallyAwesome]

everything you see in the video is included in the box- there are no other add ons or expansion packs currently available for the doom board game

[@DarkSiderSS0]

Alright. thanks so much man.

[@wakeness]

Very well done.

[@sulemaschmitt912]

this is so helpfully you are awesome!

[@carlossanchez-uf1wb]

about the staggered health does the marine need to give it that amount of damage to get a glory kill or is it when a demon gets to that number of health that it gets staggered

[@CynicallyAwesome]

If a demon has damage on them equal to or exceeding their stagger value, they can be glory killed by any marine that moves on top of them For example, marines 1 and 2 can damage a demon separately on their turns to do enough damage to put a demon in a stagger state- then marine 3 only needs to jump on top of the demon to glory kill it and draw a glory kill card. Just like in the video game- you do some damage, then run up to the demon and glory kill them, or continue shooting them, but you don't get the glory kill rewards

[@bluetarantulaproductions6179]

Really want this game... though I really don't want to shell out $100 Canadian for it

[@TomiKaski]

When you use an action card... are you allowed to use both the movement and attack during the use of that one card?

[@CynicallyAwesome]

Thomsonic Finnboy yes

[@TomiKaski]

@@CynicallyAwesome awesome thanks! gonna play it with friends first time ever this coming weekend :) ...

[@javiernappi9781]

when and how invaders and marines refresh their actions (marine) and event (invader) cards? thanks for the video, is really really helpful

[@elquiltro92]

Each marine draws up to 3 cards for his hand after resolving his actions during his activation.

[@PPPointyEars]

Thanks man!

[@barlowjared]

every one card discarded, receives one ardent nrg Just read the rule book, watching this just to solidify what i read. If you got that wrong, well.... Next video

[@sulemaschmitt912]

there needs to be a guide to painting them

[@DuoMaxwell007]

This looks complicated as hell lol Im still lost even with it being explained to me for 23:59 mins lol

[@CynicallyAwesome]

Don't worry, soon I'll be posting a video of gameplay where I'll teach him the game and we go through an entire session. keep your eyes posted on the channel within the next few days

[@DuoMaxwell007]

Yeah instruction manuals and tutorial rehashing what I can learn from the manual dont really do it for me. Ive learned how to play board games just by playing with those who already know what to do and paying attention (making sure I never go first) and by the time my turn gets around Ive figured out what Im supposed to do just from watching everyone else take their turns. I still wouldnt be qualified to teach anyone how to play the games but at least Id know what to do and not to do as well as figure out and develop strategies after a few turns of hands on experience. Its how I learned to play Ticket to Ride, Pandemic and Betrayal at House on the Hill. Now Ive kinda gotten addicted to complex (i.e anything that takes more brain power than lets say Monopoly) board games, and started my own collection. Now I own Doom, Rise of the Kage, Millennium Blades, Samurai, Samurai Sword, Bloodborne and Mansions of Madness Second Edition and have zero clue how to play em (with the Exception of Samurai as thats a very easy to understand game, and Ive gotten Bloodborne at least 90% down, as for the other 5... nope lol)

[@SlamminRytch]

DuoMaxwell007 holy shit! There's a Bloodborne Board Game? Why am I only learning this now!

[@DuoMaxwell007]

Then you might also wanna know that there will be a Dark Souls one in about a month.

[@bobdole8830]

great tutorial bro

[@Nin6744]

wait do they have the bfg weapon card?

[@CynicallyAwesome]

Ninjutsu Scorpion yes they do- they have all the weapons and show weapons available in the base game of the new DOOM game

[@ZeroStako]

Very helpful. The guide books explain everything very poorly. It's true - I don't play a lot of board games like this one, but dammit if it's not over complicated as fuck.

[@nameofafamousthing2855]

wow I thought this was the old doom board game, based on doom 3, I prefer that one to this one truthfully but this one looks interesting

[@nameofafamousthing2855]

does this one have team deathmatch?

[@CynicallyAwesome]

not necessarily, its demons vs marines where one play is all the demons and the others control a single marine in scenario based missions. It's not trying to mimic the video game, but it takes mechanics from the video game and makes it fit in a tabletop format (like glory kills)

[@nameofafamousthing2855]

+CynicallyAwesome i didn't mean as in the video game but the older board game I owned. it has three modes including team deathmatch, campaign and one other if you get the addon

[@CynicallyAwesome]

sorry, I didn't explain that well- this is very different from the old board game in almost every way. it has 6 different game modes (better known as 6 different objectives), but the objective you get is based on the map you pick (and there are only 6 unique maps, but two different setups for each one). There might be a mode that's similar to the TDM you remember (i think its called eliminate hostiles in this game), but you would be limited as to which maps you could play it on (unless you wanted to make up your own maps), and it wouldn't play exactly the same either because the demon player is limited on how they can summon more demons onto the board. that being said, while it is very different- I enjoy it because its very condensed in the play area required, its rules, and it doesn't require a lot of time to play although if you're looking for an exact copy of the game you remember, this probably isn't it, but you should check it out some more and see if you like it

[@nameofafamousthing2855]

+CynicallyAwesome yes I figured so, because the figures were not colored sadly, but besides from the sadness in that, I'll definitely buy this game, as of I own most doom memorabilia and products (I still play doom on my old computer)

[@ImTylerDurden99]

Thank you!

[@canadianturfsandwich1258]

Good quality game, but the event cards don't add any interest to it than to increase its downtime. Also, the invaders have way too much spawns, which is repetitive gimmick in my opinion.

[@pierr8306]

hello, i have a few questions and i really need answers please, do you still remember whole game? or can we contact through instagram or facebook ? xoxo.karlo IG

[@CynicallyAwesome]

You can just post your question here. I still have the game and rulebook by me

[@pierr8306]

So ( SOLO OPERATIVE and other missions). As an invader I have 2 invader cards ( pinky + possesed soldiers, both have 2 figures for one card ) due to the FORCE OF ARMS invader strategy card. So, 2 possessed soldiers are spawned on blue, and 2 pinkys on yellow, first initiative card was ALPHA, so as ALPHA i killed both possessed soldiers ( i put p.s card facedown and i lost that demon type ). Next i drawn invader card ( 2 cards left in initiative deck invader and marine ), i played pinky and i attacked with both normally. Third card was invader again, my pinky card from previous invader card was flipped horizontally meaning i couldn't use it again. 1. Then what should i do if i'm on turn and i don't have demon cards to play? Pinky was horizontally and p.s were facedown ( dead ). 2. Does the invader draw an action card (6 in hand) after he uses one of the action cards from hand b4 attacking. 3. After discarding the whole deck for the invader, do I reshuffle discard pile and use it as defense again? Same question for marine deck + if a marine has 2 cards in hand and he has to draw 2 more ( solo-operative ) but there are no more cards in his deck, so should i reshuffle his deck? ALL OF THIS IN ACTIVATION PHASE ! 4. Can marine defend himself from cards in hand? 5. If marine somehow kill all my demons ( not talking about solo-op ) in first 2 room, do we immediately go to status phase or i should wait for them to open door so i can summon demons, or i should just wait for initiative deck to fall of ? If i wait for them to open door, they can just run around and farm best cards for attack, is there some rule that blocks them from doing that so they must push doors? 6. Regarding to 5th question, happened 3 times today for me in solo op. marine killed all my demons in first 2 room ( solo op. mission 1 sample collection), what can i do as invader then, i have no demons and its my turn because drawn initiative card was invader ( no demons to play )

[@pierr8306]

and i can play armor ( while defending ) from hands to defend my self with 2 shields and i can draw 1 more card rom deck to deffend? or armor counts as main def.. so i cant draw one more from deck?

[@pierr8306]

@@CynicallyAwesome .

[@mihajlohranisavljevic6412]

@@pierr8306 ok 1) You will simply skip your turn because possesed soldiers are all killed and pinky card exausted. 2) Invader draws UP TO 6 cards during 3rd step of sratus phase only then he draws cards (unles some other card grant him ability to do so outside the status phase) Look at the back of rulebook to see steps of status phase.3) Yes EVERYTIME you need to draw a card and deck is empty you shuffle discard piles and draw from that new deck this is true for marines and invader player...4)No, only from top of the his deck and invader from his deck however there are some cards like armor or like some invader cards that grant additional defence along with card drawn from top of the deck for defence.Those cards have wording while defending.Look at the back of rulebook to see attack steps and when can you apply those while defending cards.5) Yes, you continue normaly until marines open the door,that can happen in infestation threat card which is usualy the hardest for invader to win.6) already answered in 5.. Here is how armour card works.If you have that card in hand you dont use that card for defence you always draw from top of your deck , and then when is whille defending step in combat (again look at the back of rulebook) than you play armour card and add 2 shields to those shield you get from card you drawn from top of the deck.Lastly you drawn another card from top of deck as instructed in armour card but that new card DOES NOT count as defence its simply a card drawn to replace just used armour card.Hope this Helps!

[@morganthus6323]

Hmm. Seems a lot easier to just play the video game.

[@lazlo686]

That’s not exactly a revelation. Video games handle the rules for you, boardgames do not.
