[@nobbynobbs8182]

Thanks. I wasn't sure about how combat works but now it's clear

[@MeepleUniversity]

Glad we could help

[@BLDTHEGAMER]

Question: would you do a video explaining the expansion rules as well as the special edition of the base game? Your video of this game was phenomenal. Thank you.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Hello, thank you for the comment :). We unfortunately don't have those expansions, but checked with Rule & Make, they have the rules pretty clear for these expansions. And if you know how to play the base game (sounds like you are!), would be pretty easy to play the expansions. Enjoy the game!

[@kosterix123]

Nice explanation, product has some nice ideas built into it.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thank you 😁

[@five5tring]

I might be a little late to the party, but finally getting around to the playing the game after it's sat on my shelf for too long. When you draw the strike bonus cards for the attack @ 20:05, should you not have drawn an additional card because of the effect of the hammer as you draw an attack card amongst those 3 drawn? Just want to make sure I'm getting things right, but I could be missing something? Thanks

[@OZTutoh]

23:40 Timestamping this because the edition I had did not explain what to do in a Push very well

[@MeepleUniversity]

OK :)

[@Mrgamer-fv5iy]

I know this a late comment but do you get the food if its drawn during the strike bonus or what dose it do

[@Laped664]

If I bid on a relic and they all suck, do I have to choose one?

[@ftomiwd]

Ladies and Gents, Dear Meeples I've just bought this game and I love it to death ... I've managed to find answers almost to all of my questions by reading the posts here, BUT I'm still having question marks concerning two topics: 1.) Whenever a Royalty will be participating in a *campaign scenario* (that is when you saw for ex. a Queen in the card list for the given level), do we follow the basic competitive rules to reveal them?! I mean Jack is revealed only when its card found, Queen/King is revealed right from the very beginning of the scenario to apply their effect(s) as it is designed?! I think the answer is YES, but I'd really need a confirmation here... 2.) I saw many feedback and responses around the scenario (level) reset as well, what is still confusing to me. Do we deal a fresh Dealer Row at the start of a new scenario or this is happening only in competitive mode?! YES ... I know the rules are there in the guide around "Continuity" and this is not mentioned as such, but I believe this should be case, that is, we should have this option "enabled" to refresh the 'marketplace', the Dealer's Row itself.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Hi Farkas, thank you for watching, it's been awhile since we played this game, so will need to find some time to find from the rulebook and get back to you.

[@ftomiwd]

Meeple University I do appreciate the help, will be patiently waiting, although the rulebook won’t necessarily answer these questions I’m afraid :(

[@ftomiwd]

Meeple University Again, thx and although I’ve sent a mail as well to you, there would be a third and final one - 3.) The most important and last question of mine - Can we "farm" a scenario to use its Encounter cards completely ?! That is, regardless we completed all the objectives of the given scenario, can we move on and farm the rest or we have to stop immediately once the scenario objective/task is done ?!

[@MeepleUniversity]

@@ftomiwd Sorry Farkas, we just moved and just don't have time to dig out the rules for now. Hoping that the designer would be able to help you

[@warpaint9385]

Did the strike bonus rules change? On another video by Rule and Make the forage card during the strike bonus is regarded as a nothing card yet you claimed 1 food. You sure that's correct? Not sure if the ability you used to put a card from the discard on top of your deck is used either but maybe I'm wrong.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Hello :) Thanks for the observation. Checked with the publisher, the Rule and Make video was the older version, a few of the rules changed since. This is quite common, especially with Kickstarter project. Hope that helps!

[@OZTutoh]

Thanks, I was puzzled by that Rule and Make video, too. Edit: talking about 21:00 here

[@OZTutoh]

42:04 I saw the players use this in the Rule and Make video. Glad to finally see where it's said.

[@MarcPastyr]

do u still revel a royalty card for the solo mode like the jack for the 1st scenario queen for the 2nd and so on or not at all and if u do dose it have to match the suit of the campaign like for example the skulls campaign u would only use skull royalty cards?

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thematically, yes, you would use the royals from the suit matching the scenario. In the case of 'skulls', the royals are set up as normal. It would only be if the scenario set-up rules specifically changed the set-up rules that you wouldn't include the royals.

[@dddmmm21]

Question here please... If I decide to push a 2nd time in a row, can I save the card I got when pushing first and then add it to the 2nd push card? Or is each "push" a single battle, meaning I have to try to use the first Push card and then discard it (if not enough to kill the minion) before I draw a 2nd push card? Thanks

[@MeepleUniversity]

Hi, sorry for the late reply, we missed this for some reason. You keep all the push cards and any other unused cards bound to your weapon until the entire combat is finished. Hope that helps. 😀

[@istallri]

Would have loved to see the 5 players mode with someone playing as the Game Master explained, but the base game was really interesting too :) One thing I may have missed though: do the campaign mode cards can be shuffled with the base game when playing a normal competitive game? thanks :)

[@MeepleUniversity]

Thank you 😀. We got confirmation from the designer that the campaign mode cards do not function in the base normal game. Hope that helps 😁

[@istallri]

@@MeepleUniversity perfect thanks :)

[@octahedron646]

That endless setup 😁 but worth it

[@MeepleUniversity]

Haha yes it could be a bit tricky with the cards, so we include that. Thanks for watching

[@daranchapman3109]

Agreed. I ended up making little baggies and writing things on them like "co-op only" or "campaign extras." Setup on the second game is going to be way easier. (I had just a bit too much "But THESE are ALSO encounters in this packet. But adding those tips the number above what is listed in the 'included materials' section of the manual... oooooh, I see.'" It's all listed nicely in the instructions, but something about the packets in which they arrived still threw me off.)

[@MeepleUniversity]

Good idea. Organisr for next game for sure!

[@daranchapman3109]

Can you confirm: The Special Edition of the game does NOT include the content of the royalty expansions, correct?

[@MeepleUniversity]

Hi Daran. We are not 100% sure, best perhaps ask the publisher Rule & Make, or check their Kickstarter page: www.kickstarter.com/projects/chaoticpattern/hand-of-fate-ordeals Or their website: www.ruleandmake.com As we just made the rule videos, and unfortunately not qualified to answer product questions. Thank you for watching! :)

[@adamstansbery7749]

Hello, I received the special edition and I did not get the Royalty expansions. those were only with the 120 or higher pledge.

[@MeepleUniversity]

Hi Adam, thanks for the note

[@daranchapman3109]

@@adamstansbery7749 Thank you! Thinking about purchasing the expansion(s) separately. Fun game; a bit confusing with the super multi-purpose card values... but fun!

[@ftomiwd]

in combat, can I push the fight as many times I want for +1 bonus strike card, until I’m alive ofc ?!

[@MrJackBroady]

Good explanation but painfully slow. I recommend watching on x1.25 speed

[@MeepleUniversity]

Haha thank you, that's a good way to speed things up ;P

[@kosterix123]

Most videos are.

[@alcovitch]

Seems something was lost in translation from video game to board game. This is an overly convoluted mess and doesn't resemble the really good game it's inspired by. Sad.

[@kosterix123]

Go back to your video games that do all the work for you then.

[@MrSelkies]

Sounds like you don't play board games.
