Hero Realms - How To Play

[@trek98597]

You have a great attitude! I like the way you explain. I am 58yrs old, retired and just getting into gaming. I loved Star Realm and hope this will be just as fun and easy.

[@WatchItPlayed]

I hope you enjoy this one Mark!

[@TonyStemen]

Welcome to Hero Realms. I am new to it as well, and loving it. So glad you are getting into gaming!

Im falkeye at chess.com and justintime76 over at lichess...both free sites...so a big handshake to us both...age is just a number😊😊😊🇳🇴🇳🇴🇳🇴🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@ryanbolson23]

I picked this game up with all its character packs at local game shop to support their business during the pandemic, but the instructions included in the box were very hard to follow. Having watched your video really helped me realize what I was interpreting wrong and now I think I’m ready to teach my online friends how to do it so we can play on discord! Thanks a lot man I knew I could count on you!

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad to hear this was helpful, so you could get on with having fun!

[@HighlanderGamesNJ]

We've been playing this game non stop. The character packs really help this game shine.

[@WatchItPlayed]

We'll be doing a play through with those (coming soon!)

[@erictarver7325]

you said during your discard phase that your champions go back to the ready position. However, you have an example where if an opponent guard is not prepared then you can bypass that to do damage to the other players health. how does a guard or Champion remain unprepared on your opponent's turn?

[@WatchItPlayed]

I haven't seen an example where they can be (but perhaps in expansions, they will give effects to allow you to "un"prepare a Champion?)

[@rvervuurt]

There are cards that tap another player's champion, making them tap a guard in your turn. If you do this before attacking, you can attack them, while bypassing the champion. If you play with 2+ players, a player's champion will be tapped until they finish their turn, making it possible to ignore this champion for quite some turns. Right? :D

[@stevenjeanne4156]

@@rvervuurt Those cards are from the campaign or the new set of expansions ? because in the original game no cards can do that

[@wetwillyccma]

Your the king of instructional videos Rodney. I kickstarted this and when I got everything I just used the Hero packs. Love this game, can't wait for the campaign to come out this year. My daughter and I play it a lot. I sleeved all the cards (except the double sided ones) with Ultra-pro non glare matte sleeves. The cards have black boarders so the sleeves will keep them safe and they don't slide around due to being Pro-matte. I also bought a nice metal card holder with a lined inside to keep them all together, like a mini briefcase. I guess I must really love the game. :) Keep up the great work, I always look forward to your video's

[@WatchItPlayed]

Oh yes, as soon as the video series is done, these will be sleeved (too much glare for the camera, unfortunately).

[@gr33nie2]

Thank you so much for this video! I got this to pay with my 8 year old who is starting to love more 'advanced games' (Machi Koro, Dominion) and we were totally stumped by the written instructions. This got us playing quickly and we're having a lot of fun! Very appreciated!

So glad to hear this was helpful Sarah, I hope you both have a great time playing!

[@MabiVSGames]

Awesome tutorial / how to play as always! It was explained very clearly and it was absolutely what I was looking for! I instantly purchased it after finishing the video! Thanks again for your hard work and can't wait for future playthroughs!

[@satyanpatel6403]

Your enthusiasm, video production quality and clarity is what keeps me coming back to your videos. They are clean, clear and precise. I play a lot, and I mean a lot of games with my family and others as well. So your videos help me learn new games and relearn rules I forgot, like this video on Hero Realms. I love Star Realms, couldn't get enough so I got Hero Realms as well and the expansions. However I also recently got Epic by the same guys and White Wizard Games and am struggling with it. Do you have a video or plan on making one about that game as well? Thanks in advance.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks so much for the very kind comments about the videos! As so Epic, I talk a bit about that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5XXdaisfrqUbKM&t=342

[@AmigaFanatic1980]

Brilliant, thanks Rodney, was hoping you would do a how to on this. Although it doesn't appear to be a hard game to learn to play, I've got so many new games from Christmas I am struggling to learn them all and keep the knowledge in my head. Keep up the great work!

[@WatchItPlayed]

I can appreciate that. Whether complex or simple, it's still another game to cram into the old noggin' - glad you're happy to see this :)

You've done it again Rodney! Added Hero Realms to my collection. :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

Great tutorial. Always enjoy your videos. Fantastic game. I picked up at Origins this past week, and have played it over 10 times, and taught 4 new people how to play. I will enjoy this one for some time, and have already ordered all the expansions!

13:59 is there any situation in which guardians would remain expended past the discard phase?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Not that I can think of right off.

[@songbirdsingz9670]

Perfect and clear explanation as always! Always use your videos for reference or refreshers! Just ordered Hero Realms and so excited! I love Star Realms, but my brother and friends prefer the fantasy setting so I went with Hero Realms!

[@WatchItPlayed]

I prefer fantasy as well :)

[@dankelly]

Re: 13:50 when would your opponent ever have an "expended" guard champion when your trying to attack? At the end of my opponent's turn, their expended cards are put back into "ready" mode, right?

[@WatchItPlayed]

I believe this is a rule for possible future cards that may cause this to happen.

[@mattyjohnsson257]

14:02 If every champion automatically is reset to "prepared" at the end of the owner's turn, then how can they be found "expended" by the opponent (for them to ignore a Guard)? Makes no sense.

[@WatchItPlayed]

This is to prepare for expansion card effects that could be created later where this would matter.

[@ZWarrior89]

Wow!! THIS sounds just like my style of deck-building game! With fantasy, RPG-like theme, I think this video convinced me to order both the base game and the five classes expansion! This looks tons of fun with high replay value! I can't wait to try this game out.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hope you have a great time playing Jaehwa!

[@ZWarrior89]

So, quick question for clarification. Is the Campaign deck and boss card packs not available yet by what you said? Do you have any idea of when they will be available?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Not sure, you'd need to check with the publisher for that.

[@andrewwilson895]

Guard champions don't guard while they're expended, but they prepare at the end of each of my turns anyway. Do you know of any situations in which a champion might be expended on my opponent's turn?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Not that I've come across, but perhaps in future expansions.

[@MrHDChevy]

don't you think champions should be refreshed at the beginning of your turn and not at the end? if not the rule wouldn't apply.

[@Rpierce1892]

I came to this thread for this exact purpose. I don't understand why they need to be tapped and untapped in the same turn. What is the purpose they're just like the bases in Star realms and there is no need to tap the bases. Is there any clarity on this, yet?

[@winterseele]

Rocky Pierce I think it's a mistake in the rules. It doesn't make sense to tapped and untapped the guard or champion cards in the same turn. I see (on KZbin) a gamer, who plays it the way to untapped the guard at the beginning on his next turn, so it become a strategic choice to guard yourself or don't guard but use the special action of the guard card. Maybe white wizard will clarify the rules, when they aren't so busy (or lazy) someday ;)

[@Rpierce1892]

@winterseele I contacted the whitewizard and it's not a mistake. You are supposed to tap and untap in the same turn. It's just like Star Realms, but Star Realms didn't require you to tap them. The reason for tapping them is to remember that you used it this turn. Some of them say use it for money or attack or health and you could forget you used it. Untap at the end of your turn and play like normal.

[@βαγγέληςτάτσης-κ4ζ]

Great explanation... thanks man for your video

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very welcome!

[@chadwilburn6451]

Question: How will an opponent have an unprepared champion? Because it says after your turn you prepare your champions and turn them back up??

[@WatchItPlayed]

I believe this is an element that might be exploited more in expansions, but they wanted to establish the rule here.

[@whiteknight4040]

Great Job Rodney as always, and I just ordered this game Friday! 😀. Will you be doing a play through?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Yep - recorded the first episode today :) Online soon!

[@thibaultmareschal2378]

Thank you for the clear video! I played a few games and I have one question: What is the point of the expend ability ? It seems to me you can expend any hero every turn, so what does it add to the game ? Thank you!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Here's a quite from the publisher, which might help: "It's an easy way to tell if you've used an ability. Sometimes people have been known to forget which abilities they have used when playing Star Realms, so we built it into the rules. It also gives us design space. Really, a win-win.

[@thibaultmareschal2378]

@@WatchItPlayed thank you!

[@davegonzalez5334]

Question. Say that I play recruit. Do I get both of the primary abilities or do I have to choose? Or is that rule only for cards that have the “or” in the description?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hi Dave, can you provide a time stamp to the section of the video you are asking about? I shot this long enough ago, I want to make sure I know what you're referring to.

[@kriticalmass86]

Excellent video. One thing I dont understand though. Do the ally abilities trigger if you have an appropriate hero in play from a previous turn?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Yes.

[@markcooper4876]

Thanks for the great explanation. I have now decided that the small differences, and slightly more in-depth aspects of Hero Realms compared to Star Realms is worth having the awesome fantasy flavor of Hero Realms. The only thing I am sad about is that Guards cannot protect you when they expend themselves. I know that Torgen would be overpowered if he could both force a discard and protect you for 7 each turn, but if he can only choose 1, he actually seems very weak for a 7 gold card. Although, since I haven’t played this yet, I will try it out before judging the mechanic any further. Thanks again for this video.

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very welcome Mark - glad it was helpful!

[@markcooper4876]

Actually, I just realized something. Since you prepare your champions at the end of your turn, that means Torgen can force the opponent to discard a card, then prepare to protect you on your opponents turn. That makes me wonder though, when would a Champion ever be expended during your opponents turn, so the guard effect wouldn’t work, like you mentioned in the video? Just curious if you found a card that could make use of that mechanic.

Hello, very good rules explanation. However, I have one question. Some cards have two or more actions placed at Primary action section on the card. For example, there can be Attack (combat points) action and text action Stun 'champion. My question is, Can I firstly stun the champion e.g. Gourd and then use combat points and attack directly a player? So is there any order or player decides freely?

[@magneman2]

Say I play 5 cards, and at least one of those tells me to draw another card. Do I resolve my 5 first cards first, or will my new card also be resolved at the same time? For instance, if I drew a champion as part of my hand at first, I place it down and I exhaust him for combat points. If my new card (that I drew as an addition) tells me to refresh a champion, does that mean I can play my champion once more? Does my new card (that I drew in addition to my original hand of 5) count towards ally abilites as well?

[@WatchItPlayed]

You can play the cards in your hand in any order. So you could choose to play 1 that gives you the ability to draw before playing the rest. You could also refresh and re-use a champion, like in the example you gave. Lastly, the new card that you draw does count towards your ally abilities too, possibly even activating the ally abilities of cards you played previously (if they hadn't been activated already).

If a card says you can sacrifice a card in your hand, does that apply to cards you have all ready played, or only if you kept it in your hand? Sorry for the silly question.

First of all thanks for the great video again! The game is already quite old as it seems, but for me it was new and the video was much easier to understand then the (german) manual. And allthough we are pretty sure we play it correctly, it just doesnt feel like it (1v1 only so far). Championns never ever survive a round which makes them feel like a spell with extra health. Thus it doesnt really feel like a good deck-building game but rather like a mostly random "who can buy the strongest spells and draw them game". Cant really see any counterplay or whatsover. Whats your opinion on that?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hi Michael, I don't offer review content on the games I teach - experiences with a game can vary wildly based on all kinds of factors (which can include the game design, but also things outside of it). I wouldn't want to try to convince you one way or the other.

I love this game and I play Star Realms quite often also. I have a nagging question though.. When a card tells you to "draw a card" this means you draw from your own deck, NOT the market deck. Have I been playing correctly?

[@wh3elson]

Steve Pruneau correct

[@WatchItPlayed]

You've got it!

[@raulsanchezyellow]

[@WatchItPlayed]

Ha! Well said :)

[@francescospuntarelli7369]

Dustin Duke Go watch descent thas more interesting.... I'm not a troll but simply it's what I really think

[@qwerxel]

So the rules are very close to being identical to Star Realms? The basic cards look essentially like a reskin of Star Realms as well.

[@WatchItPlayed]

There are some similarities, to be sure.

[@laybunzz]

These videos are *excellent* but that's a lottttt of producers. Really like a 100 people were involved in this?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Back then I ran fundraisers to financially support the show (I work on the show full time). If you donated at a certain level you'd get producer credits. So yep, all of those people were quite literally producing the show.

[@4boysplus880]

do an exploding kittens tutorial

[@WatchItPlayed]

No plans to currently, but thanks for the interest.

[@ZedLeppelin1989]

You're joking, right?

[@joshyjosh00]

Thats like a 2 minute tutorial and its really not a fun game

[@duaneleavesley3778]
