Journeys in the Middle East. Amazing.

[@eamush]

Lol i noticed that too. Frodo going to mount sinai...

[@Dalboni]

I laughed hard as fuck kkkkk

[@TheyTalkOnline]

Yeah! I need to get that special edition! Damn, Gandalf, Bilbo Aragorn & Gimli are going to get Saddam!

[@criticalkaiju9892]

😅

[@Mark-OutWest]

It's harsh because the exploration tokens can flip to reveal an IED. Yikes.

[@anotherdimension6053]

This is the best tutorial video for JME, thank you. However, there are a couple of mistakes I wanted to point out for new players: 1. Prepare/Preparing cards is the correct term, rather than readying (some cards reference this). 2. Ranged attacks can also be made in the character's space. 3. Title cards remain in your deck for the duration of the campaign. They are not returned to the title deck when used.

[@crumpetsbuttered]

Excellent Tutorial, and all my respect for explaining in English.

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Thank you. :)

[@rohanj6362]

Just got the game. Amazing video. Short. To the point. And pretty much explains everything without going into a game or playing or just too long explaining.

[@Brissebrajan]

Nice and clear, really good. One thing though, middle-earth, not middle-east =). Thanks for this video!

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Did I say so? Oh no! Apologies! :) It was a looong day of recording, it somehow sneaked it. I am going to add a caption to the video. Thanks for letting me know!

[@kzawadzki85]

@@nithrania-gameinanutshell Actaully it was kinda funny! :D

[@Brissebrajan]

@@nithrania-gameinanutshell Like NexusUK said, it was kinda funny! no apology needed :)

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

@@Brissebrajan OK, thanks. :)

[@demetriuscunha3737]

Very nice video, congratulations. By the way, Journeys in Middle East would be a suitable tittle for a wargame, or so?

[@arrasonline]

The best how to play video for this game. Thank you so much!

[@syhchiang]

15:00 Last Stand is performed when a hero’s damage or fear EQUAL or exceed the limit indicated on the character card. In Aragorn’s case, it’s 5 not 6 damage.

[@clank1013]

Explained very well 👍

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Thank you! :)

[@christine7249]

I'm trying to learn and love this game, and your video has helped the most! Thank you

[@hamansgallows]

Fantastic overview for 21 minutes. I'd watched a couple others of similar length and this one really helped make the most sense. Knowing how to use the Prepared cards after each Scout wasn't properly covered in the others. Easy to understand and follow and didn't feel rushed despite being comprehensive. You have a new subscriber for sure!

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Thank you very much! I'm really happy the video was helpful, that's the reason why I do them. ☺️

[@bane1229]

Excellent video. It cleared up a couple of questions my group had from our first playthough yesterday. Good job, and thank you.

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Thank you. :)

[@abassnyc]

Another excellent video. Concise and helpful. Can't thank you enough for making these, Bronislav!

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Thank you very much. :)

[@marklouis89]

Very accurate so far , thank you Middle East ❤

[@W8nC86]

Best Tutorial I could find, thanks

[@MrW781]

Maybe I overlooked this in your video, but I thought the rule book says that after scouting 2 cards, you can then rearrange the deck as you like. That doesn't happen at the beginning of each round, if I'm not mistaken, but can happen after rally phases.

[@adriang6259]

Best tutorial for this game so far.

[@cthutu]

Great video - realised that I've been playing it a little wrong. Didn't know you can use both options on the weapon cards.

[@fritsravn6814]

Best tutorial i have seen :) good job

[@Zaloomination]

Thank you for the clear instructions!

[@thomaslalancette1895]

Best tutorial for this game by far

[@taalus2592]

Clear and concise information. Thank you for the upload!

[@steveblack5400]

Fantastic run through as ever! Thank you, game arrives tomorrow!

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Thank you. 😊

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Thank you. :)

[@booga1969]

great video, many thanks!

[@lmoran76]

Thank you very much, what a great video, helped me understand the game so much better then just reading the rule book.

[@miikkaparker]

thank you for the video!

[@Karpeqc]

nice and clear instruction

[@meruchan1521]

Really helpful video, thank you!!

[@joosts.9477]

Very clear explanation. When doing the provoke you talk about an enemy group or is it a single creature that's provoking?

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Thank you! I talk about an enemy group. That group may sometimes only have one creature but it may also contain multiple creatures. And there may be mulitple groups on the same space. Hope it helps. :)

[@zionsully]

Thanks for the video! Really excellent explanation!

[@timborocksloud]

great tutorial. just the right amount of explanation of how to play. Thanks for doing this. Just for my own curiosity, what is the language printed on the cards. Is that Polish?

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Thank you Tim. ☺️ It's Czech language. I was born in former Czechoslovakia, now Czechia and Slovakia but we speak both languages fluently, they're very similar. Most games are only localized to Czech language as it easily serves both markets - Slovak and Czech.

[@Ram271989]

Awesome video. Thank you very much!

[@666gzu]

Best tutorial ! Thanks a lot!

[@deciutiisjames]

Great summary!

Thanks!

[@Dilbub]

Great video. Thank you so much

[@eddieharr]

Perfect tutorial!

[@marcodevent5085]

do the enemys need to counter attack the hero thats attacked them? so if the hunter legolas shoots from 1 space and they want to counter attack but there not range and another hero is in rage gimli wil they attack them or dont counter?

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Enemies only counter-attack heroes who attack them. So if they don't have the range, in your example, they would not attack Gimli.

[@amirhayek821]

Excellent video, easy sub.

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Thanks! :)

[@simsmzzms]

Hahahaha. Journeys in middle east. Good video otherwise.

[@bornTwoFight]

Well explained!

[@ChiiOMarteel]

Thanks, really helpful :)

[@lordbow]

At 8:30 you mention being able to use the item card’s abilities only once. I cannot find that rule anywhere in the rule book. Is that correct? I’ve been using he same ability twice when attacking (when I have enough success symbols).

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

It's on page 11, first paragraph, last sentence - "Each ability indicates how many successes must be spent to resolve it, and each ability can be resolved only once per attack."

[@lordbow]

@@nithrania-gameinanutshell Thank you for clearing that up

[@gizemsoyleyici]

Thanks a lot!

[@Callm3sol]

I got this game today what character should i play

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

The combination of Beravor and Legolas works fine for us. :)

[@aleevsergey]

Trinkets and title cards moves between scenarios?

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

Yes, they do.

[@aleevsergey]

Nithrania - Heroes of Boardgames thx. If I use skill card “Self-Sufficient” do I have to use keyword Hide and discard the card. Or I can use them separately?

[@aleevsergey]

Nithrania - Heroes of Boardgames and how many card I can use in the battle. For example I have two strike card. Can I use both?

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

@@aleevsergey Well, you can use them separately, but I don't see a reason why you would need to do that. If you use the card, you have to discard it anyway, regardless whether you use the Hide ability or not.

[@nithrania-gameinanutshell]

@@aleevsergey If you have 2 strike cards ready, you can use them both.
