Merchants of the Dark Road Board Game - How to Game with Becca Scott

[@styfen]

I have to say Becca, your presentation on learning/teaching games has just gone from strength to strength. This channel has become one of my go-to places for learning about a game's rules before playing it.

[@HerVoiceRemains]

Magnificent tutorial Becca. I’ve had this game for a few weeks and thought I had all the rules down, but you presented a couple I’d missed! You rock!

[@gqsnowman]

Awesome! I've been eyeing this game and wondering how it works. This was great timing.

[@sonsofgandalf4271]

Excellent setup and explanation. Thanks Becca!

[@ITyraxI]

These are next level tutorials. Keep up the amazing work

[@funnerone1]

Thank you for this great video. Just letting you know because of you I bought this game.

[@dragonlance6027]

Pretty sure the hero bonus would have been a lantern, not a horseshoe. 9:55

[@edwindrood2816]

Really showing experience.

looks good

[@SrWedo]

What's the name of the song in the background? Sounds great.

Nice dress!

[@SuncoastGuy]

Would like to see mode game plays following the tutorial.

[@MAXIMIT12]

Ciao i like your tutorial videos... You are fantastic... I hope you make also a tutorial of the thing board game...

[@RobertoRibay]

Not sure if this is a browser issue or not (Safari) but the close ups (like in 7:42) look out of focus compared to the wide shots...

[@MyEmeraldLife]

Yeah that was an issue on my end that I wasn't able to fully solve (editing)... apologies.. I hope it's not too much of a distraction..

[@RobertoRibay]

@@MyEmeraldLife nah, it's fine, I'm just weird I guess, thanks for the explaination :)

[@Brezel85]

Minor Error: While explaining how to sell goods to a hero in the Ringway Inn you pointed out the wrong symbol for the received bonus. It is the big symbol beneath the goods, in your example a lantern. The symbol you highlighted is just for colorblind people to keep the different hero types apart…

[@kyuzo26]

imagine....

[@Brezel85]

Is this the newest version of the rulebook? In my version the prestige markers are placed on the zero spot instead of the 2 spot during Setup. Also every player gets two deed cards and chooses one…

[@bcmaledragon]

@Brezel Yes. The designer revised the rules because how are you going to look at the top 3 Hero cards at the Inn if you don't want any of the 4 displayed Heros because you have to pay 1 Prestige in order to look. The deeds were also revised as well(Look at the JonGetsGames playthough).

[@shanematthews5332]

at 10:06 Becca describes a rule and option, Where you can pay 1 prestige to draw and look at the top three heroes on the deck, then you have a choice of 7 heroes to sell goods to....Is that a valid option, I've never heard of that. Is that in the rulebook? Option 1 prestige for 3 more heroes choices??

[@hikarukaze]

The Designer clarify this is an added rule outside of the rulebook, will be posted the revised rulebook later in BGG

[@Dcart5]

When is the full game released?

[@roosterchains]

Already available

[@lopocachino]

15 minutes a not a single mention of Bat Bear..

[@TheEricBooth]

We need Becca to do a rules explanation of Star Wars Rebellion since Rodney won't.

[@p0ck3tp3ar]

Why does the game board have 6 interlocking tiles instead of just one big board?

[@nightcatarts]

Perhaps so they can be swapped out for alternate versions?

[@p0ck3tp3ar]

@@nightcatarts Hmm maybe.

[@jacforswear18]

Probably to potentially change our pieces. But also, I personally hate folding boards they always get worn out where they fold!

[@askapk]

Future expansions? Although... I'm from the future... and I don't think there are expansions yet. 😅

[@tvamanadsloner7220]

looks complicated...

[@Brezel85]

The rules are a little hard to teach. But after playing one or two turns things start to get clear. But this is definitely a game you have to play 2-3 times until you get a decent strategy. But I don‘t think this is a bad thing. We like it pretty much…
