Hey Bruce, You're an intelligent guy and I'm surprised you wouldn't understand these rules easily. Me and a few other people of Gotham are starting to suspect you're Batman. You have horrible bags under your eyes, always beat up looking, and Emily in tech support said you showed her the batmobile to try and get in her pants, but then you coughed up a bunch of blood onto her and she said your muttering response was, "Damn fucking hooligans and their baseball bat. I need to have Alfred reinforce my batsuit." Then you grappled hooked into a vent. Just saying maybe not understanding rules isn't the real reason you haven't started Gloomhaven

Impressive that you can make such a dry topic quite fun, kudos! A minor quibble; An additional difference between long rest and short rest at 17:18 is that the players chooses which card is lost from their discard pile rather than losing one at random as with a short rest as per GH rules p.17 and JotL Glossary p.17.

Definitely a good rundown of the rules, just a bit of advice going forward though: try using scenario 1 a bit more, there's a few spoilers that he Gloomhaven fanbase tends to be pretty particular about. Doesn't really affect me but figured it'd be good advice.
@ModernTablegamer3 жыл бұрын
@Rage Badger Gaming thanks for the advice and I love your Frosthaven updates! I'll add a disclaimer in the visible part of the description. "Beware, minor spoilers". Hopefully this helps steer those averse to any spoilers away from this content. As part of the Gloomhaven fanbase, I made a overview video that I would have wanted to watch when getting started to include a bit more than just Black Barrow, but to your point, fair to give a spoiler alert. BTW. the next video is generic showing only lvl 1 actions and abilities for just the starting characters. Thanks again!

Hey! I have a question. If my party have killed all monster in a room but still not unlocked next room. Do we still need to draw a attack card to make a move? Or can we just move without draw an attack card and discard that for no use? Also how does it work when all monster is dead in a scenario. And the goal was to kill all monster. Can we still loot treasures and coins or must we make a loot action when monsters still are alive?

Great video. I've resisted the urge to purchase this game and this video cemented my decision. I'm glad I never bought it. The idea that you can become exhausted and have to sit the rest of the adventure out is just nonsensical to me. It may be a decent board game mechanic but it reduces the thematic component to zero.

its important to note that a short rest means you lose a random card in the discard pile and you can take 1 damage to select a different random card, BUT if you long rest you get to CHOOSE the card you lose from the discard pile. choosing the card can make all the difference in the world.
