Big supporter of your videos - no 'fluff', just rules and gameplay. Thank you.

[@pixxelwizzard]

Wow, I was blown away by this presentation! This is the 3rd "How to Play Rebellion" video I've watched, and although I've enjoyed them all, this was probably the most clear and concise, and the onscreen graphics had a huge impact on that. I'd also say, the way you chose to break down and present the information was fantastic. Thank you!

[@Vincentzw]

Harsh is definitely the most thorough, but sometimes gets a little too monotone and long-winded.

I Also enjoyed your breakdown on Axis and Allies 1942. I bought the game a few years back and my older friends and I couldnt figure it out. Soni decided to play with my 11yr old son and we both watched your video on it and now we play it all the time. My son has gotten dangerously good at Axis and Allies. Thanks to you my son beats me everytime. Im not ashamed. He is creative in his playing. Thanks for all your breakdowns. You are the best that ive come across

Clarification: When there are both Build and Recruit icons you can do BOTH not either. The word "or" gives the wrong impression. It's very important to use the word and because or implies only one or the other. Everything else has been wonderfully demonstrated.

This is the best of the intro videos for Star Wars Rebellion I've seen. Thanks! Looking forward to Part 2.

[@stanleyqc2244]

I finally managed to find what I was looking for. Clear and concise explanations about this board game. I got it an year ago and was too intimidated by it to start playing. I really enjoyed your video, with the visual representations and zooming in on important stuff. Keep it up! Subbed for more spicy rules :)

[@harsh-rules]

You're welcome! Glad you can finally start playing the game!

[@martinandersson2109]

Many thanks! Absolutely stellar explanations! :)

[@DavidRomeroQ]

Thanks Ben, your videos are so useful

[@khyronkravshera7774]

You have the Best Reviews and tutorials.

[@harsh-rules]

Thank you for the kind words!

[@edthilenius7530]

I am a new fan of yours. I am very impressed on how light yet detailed you are in your videos. Truly a difficult balance to master. I have a request for a game review. DiskWars. Now don't laugh, but this game has gorgeous graphics. Unusual, but a unique game system. Even though the second edition has petered out, it still has an appeal for folks who can't afford hundreds of miniatures. Best of luck in all that you do for us gamers. Cheers.

[@harsh-rules]

I've heard about Diskwars. Need to check it out.

[@orlandoarita]

Man you really are the best in video tutorials, really they are a great help!!! You should make tutorials videos for the Conan board game by monolith games, sword and sorcery by ares games, merchants and marauders

[@Steevo1977]

Good stuff Ben. This game is difficult to teach but your videos will alleviate the stress hehe.

[@harsh-rules]

You're welcome, Steevo!

[@mrtaha2152]

Amazing explanation!

[@essmiguel3122]

Ben you are the Best!! Thank you for your excellent work!!

[@harsh-rules]

You're most welcome!

[@kierantripp2315]

you probably dont care at all but does any of you know a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I stupidly lost the password. I love any tips you can offer me.

[@beaucoen3769]

@Kieran Tripp instablaster ;)

[@kierantripp2315]

@Beau Coen thanks for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im trying it out now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@nickdols2953]

Great Video!!! Love the Twilight Imperium one too! I think the 'Forbidden Stars' (Warhammer 40K) board game by FFG could also benefit from an explanation video like this. Would be a welcome addition for me personally...

[@harsh-rules]

Thanks, Nick! I'll check out Forbidden Stars.

[@tofathi195]

Please do so.

[@fdmt5290]

Little piece of advice, start it out as harsh rules. Its a very excellent video, but i skipped it the first few games i needed rules for because i thought it was a more alternate and more complicated type of rules lol had to take a second glance and go oh, its his last name.

[@tofathi195]

Thanks!

OMG! This tutorial is out of this galaxy Sir! Are you author of that game :)? Next to another one and of course Subscription. I hope you have same tutorial for Gloomhaven - my nex project :)

[@RuneGamborg]

Pleeeease include the expansion in your upcoming tutorials. There are a lot of other videos out there that teach the base game, but none so far that teach it with the expansion which changes the setup and the gameplay quite a bit.

[@harsh-rules]

I plan to cover the expansion in the 4th video in this series.

[@RuneGamborg]

Harsh Rules: Board Game Tutorials Awesomesauce!!

[@skeletorrobo]

Nice production. Have you ever played Risk Clone Wars?

[@kennethyau001]

Would you do the War of the Ring tutorial? It is another epic game that's need good explanation from you lol

[@harsh-rules]

I have this one and the Battle of Five Armies. I will do a video for this one. I've got to get through my backlog first.

[@bluey_fan968]

He does have a war of the rings 9 months ago

[@Janisurai]

Can you use two leaders to challenge a mission? Or only two to initiate?

[@TheBadXample]

Where did you get the picture of the board

[@LeeroyPorkins]

Is this a good 2 player "Twilight Imperium 4"?

[@BaronPorkface]

Yes

[@Marinealver]

Doesn't the Imperial Player start with 2 subjugated systems instead of all loyal?

[@harsh-rules]

You're right! I corrected in the part 2 for setup.

[@gggfff685]

What if you have no leaders on the leader pool when defending

[@rodolfocastaneda]

If you mean defending as in oposing an Imperial mission, you just can't opose. If you mean defending as in combat, you just can't assign a leader to the system in combat. Hope it's helpful... 5 months later

[@nikolavlcek]

Hi, all of your SW: Rebellion videos are called just "Czech Subtitles", I assume this is a mistake by the person who translated the videos, but it means your videos won't show up when searching for SW: Rebellion

[@jorunholm9060]

[@an9l1c1sm6]
