How to Play Dice Throne Adventures

[@dkbibi]

I'm going to play DT Adventures tomorrow with a few friends and we didn't feel like spending hours reading the rules and then checking the rulebook every 3 minutes to see how it actually plays. This instructional video was tremendously well made, super clear, with good examples, and great production value, plus it was fun to watch! 26 minutes is all it took se we can quickly go straight to the fun part tomorrow! Thanks a lot!

[@penguyen25]

This is a great addition to the base game. Technically you could even play with 5 people. The 5th person would play as the dungeon and fallen trying to eliminate the heroes. Awesome video and can't wait until I get my kickstarter this week!

[@cgulde1]

What an amazing video MvM! Excellent job! I was engaged the whole time.

[@meeple]

Thanks Gavin! It's always nice to hear something like that.

[@joelface]

Question: What should you do if while you're playing Dice Throne Adventures you start looking at all of the amazing art and all of the fantastic, high-quality components and in the process you completely forget whose turn it is, what's going on, and even what day it is?

[@kirapeavley]

We really need to put a warning label on it.

[@davidwaybright]

The trays alone!

[@DireMcCann]

The editing, graphics, animations and highlighting certain areas of the cards, made learning extremely comprehensive and easy! Best learning format for a board game! Every rules explanation should adopt this production standard! Excellent job raising the bar!

[@meeple]

Awesome to hear. Thanks!

[@dkbibi]

I have to agree, sir. It should be the standard when you create a game nowadays! I get that not everyone who creates game are good for making videos. That's why you should sponsor a channel such as MvM to do it for you!

[@meeple]

@@dkbibi Late to seeing this comment, but much love for sharing this. 😁

[@alicia1465]

Your videos have always been great, but they just keep getting better and better! Really great work! :)

[@meeple]

Awesome! Thanks so much for the kind words, and we're glad you liked it.

[@alicia1465]

I’m almost scared to watch this again now that I fully understand Dice Throne (and bought a battle chest!). Cool to know that there is a whole other way to play if we enjoy it.

[@gprosch]

This was excellent. I loved how all of the channel hosts participated in the video.

[@megalodon2012]

I was a big fan of season 1, couldn't play it enough. Season 2 fell flat for me for some reason. Because of that i didn't back Re-Rolled or Adventures. Because of this video, and the care you guys put into it, you have convinced me to make the purchase. I have preordered S1 re-rolled and Adventures. Thanks for the amazing video and for the love you guys have for the DT universe.

[@scottakkermans713]

Great job on this one! One of the best how to play videos I've ever seen.

[@meeple]

Wow! That's really nice to hear. Thanks for checking it out.

[@rafalfarhan2889]

Hi guys thanx for the video. Can you please explain the scoresheet a little more. The scenarioscore where is the point. Is it 1 point for starter scenario if it's in top left or I'm missing something? How about the score for explored alle tiles?

[@meeple]

All the potential scoring happens down the left-most open column, and the scoring categories are listed on the far left. I believe you’ll only score most of those categories if you WIN the scenario. I may have someone else come in to try to answer your question better than I have, but hopefully this helped a little.

[@bensontam]

Excellent tutorial. Dice Throne official website should have hired you to make the tutorial video.

[@meeple]

Interestingly enough, they actually did. This should ultimately be their official How to Play on the site.

[@CanjeStudios]

I'm a long time fan of Dice Throne, I cannot wait to get this game to the table.

[@meeple]

I can't imagine you not digging this new take on it then.

[@ianolsen3077]

I got to play it at Pax Unplugged last year and can't wait for it to show up.It looks like they did a really good job of fine tuning some of the mechanics to work even better from when I played. Everyone over at roxley was really cool

[@meeple]

Yeah, it's definitely been tweaked since we played it originally too.

[@BayonneJoe35]

Just played first scenario. This game is so well thought out and unbelievably fun. Great job on the rule book and how everything is incorporated. Looking forward to any more work that is done with this game. Great format.

[@Harkonis]

DTA would be amazing as an online game. Loving it so far

[@joelface]

I totally agree. I love rolling dice for real, though. But I'm picturing how it work as a phone app, with online match-making, and solo-DTA.... i needs it. Especially if it had voices and animations for the different actions. Plus, with an app, you could ensure everything followed the rules perfectly, since you just couldn't do things that were against the rules. Could really simplify things for more casual players.

[@brandonshishido1006]

Fantastic video! I'll be sure to watch this again before my pledge arrives on Monday. I'm worried about the level of upkeep and control needed for enemies.

[@thehobbyist7275]

Can I use my Marvel Dice Throne characters for this, or do I need the original characters?

[@davidwaybright]

All characters are compatible. 😁

[@andrewmoulton8019]

Wow, great intro and how to play video. I will be using this video to help us take down the Mad King!!

[@meeple]

Good luck! This game is tougher than it looks for sure. Prepare to take a run at a scenario or two multiple times.

[@DominikSchwindt]

At 0:18 they movements of the Barbarian and the Pyromancer are breaking the rules, right?! No diagonally movement is allowed and no movement across unexplored tiles...

[@meeple]

Ha! You're right. I guess a Barbarian does whatever a Barbarian wants to.

[@justinmchone3234]

Great Video, so excited to receive my copy

[@markbedard1951]

Great video!! Question, what do you do with the minions CP? And is there not a mini boss at the end of every dungeon crawl?

[@meeple]

Thanks for the comment! As I understand it, the minion's CP is there to potentially deal with any status effect that might force/allow them to spend it, to remove the status for example. There is a level 4 minion guarding the portal tile in the portal crawl, which could considering a mini-boss for sure.

[@markbedard1951]

@@meeple thanks, keep up the great work👍 Can't wait to play

[@Webchain]

Wow, you guys kicked the production to 11. Well done!

Actually just 10 1/2, but thanks for noticing. ;)

[@Camj41]

Personal game of the year! Can’t wait to play!

[@meeple]

Whoa! That's high praise. Have fun with it once you get it to the table.

[@Camj41]

@@meeple Maybe most anticipated game of the year is better. I need to play it first! haha

[@Kerigal]

I and my wife just love this game and i discovered it on lasy month because KZbin random short, easy to catch rules, and since dice thrown and card draw is random is not just like another game that feel boring after while because i win 99% of the time and IT is not another coop game that we have to play to both of US have fun, in Dice Throne me and my wife can give 100% and don't be sure who will win to the very end. As for DTA i prefer to play it alone when my wife is not in a mood for board games and tbh it's never get boring 😊

[@meeple]

Are you considering Dice Throne Missions, the new co-op system they offered in their last Marvel Dice Throne campaign? I really like that even better.

[@Kerigal]

@@meeple yes. Even if i don't know all Marvel heroes i like some like Peter Parker - Spider-Man (watched even as kid), Iron Man, Thor and Doctor Strange. My wife don't know any but "like how they look". But before that i want season one and Santa vs Krampus (we have only whole season two and DTA but we want to buy another season after new edition Robinson Crusoe will come)

[@simonlindgren91]

What do you do when you get to the boss, does your upgrades stay on your character after the scenario before? Do you start the boss battle with cp and cards in hand or emptyhanded? What do you do with final scores? Awesome game, so beautiful, played it first time this night 👍👍😄

[@meeple]

Hi Simon! Your upgrades follow you throughout the campaign. You only reset when you start a new campaign. Yes you get your starting hand and cp. Compete against your previous score and/or log it on myscore.dicethrone.com and see how others have done, too! (It’s so good, right? Glad you’re having fun!) -Kira

[@simonlindgren91]

@@meeple thanks, one more questions. Unidentified cards refer to the three cards in the end of a Green blue and purple chest right? But when opening a legendary chest it looks like its not Unidentified, is that so?

[@joelface]

@@simonlindgren91 Doing my best to answer: Any loot cards you unlock from a loot roll during the dungeon crawl are considered unidentified, regardless of colour. This means you can identify it for cheap at the shop phase at the end -- that's when you'll add it to your hero's deck (if you pay to have it identified).

[@dkbibi]

I'm not sure about one rule though. At 21:00 the video explains that you spend 1 King's Hand token to reroll a single die, yet the rulebook says : 3.A successful King’s Hand roll gives the Boss/Minion another Offensive Roll Phase. See Scenario card to determine successful roll value for your current scenario. My understanding is that the Boss starts anew by rolling all five dice and can reroll dice up to 2 times. Did I get this wrong?

[@meeple]

This video was made before the game was actually released, it is possible that some things like that might have needed to be tweaked. I would follow the rulebook for the most up-to-date rules.

[@samuelheim1445]

Question: Why do minions have CP?

[@dionbakerjr.8736]

I’m 3 years late to the game according to most of the comments.😅 But I really have been enjoying this game. I’ve had it for about maybe 3 weeks now and I literally find myself going through like portal crawl and boss battles without realizing how much time flies by. It’s SO fun! I’ve even been able to play with my mom and boyfriend which I really appreciate the cooperative nature of. I am still confused by the turn order of the boss battle. If, for example, it’s me and mom against a boss should the turn order be: Me, mom, boss OR Me, boss, mom, boss? And how can I tell who the active player is if the turn order is the first? (It seems that way the boss just targets the same person with stat debuffs which could be frustrating).

[@meeple]

Welcome to the channel, and thanks for watching. Glad you're enjoying some DTA! It's been a while since I last played, but for turn order during the boss battle (using your example) it would be YOU, then BOSS, then your mom, then BOSS. So effectively, the each player's turn includes a hero step AND a boss step (and you can also spend salves before both of those steps). That should answer both of your questions, so best of luck with your next adventure! 😁

[@dionbakerjr.8736]

@@meeple thank you for the clarity! I didn’t have the order correct and I was wondering at the end… (how have my mom and I won so easily with so many salves left! lol) I’m sure she’ll appreciate the challenge as will I.

[@BradsterBW]

Really love these great videos. Excellent work to all of you.

[@sir_rhino_uk8868]

I have a quick question regarding distributing salves. Does each team member get two salves or do you only get two salves to work with?

[@meeple]

It’s been a while, so I’m not sure I can recall an answer for you. I’d need to pull the rule book back out to check, and don’t have the game handy.

[@luke4010]

Quick question. Does this game require a DM to run the party thru scenarios? We have 4 people and want to do 3 person party with 1 DM. Is that how we should run it?

[@meeple]

No DM at all!

[@TheGoatPC]

So, You can use Dice throne marvel for this too?

[@meeple]

This came out well before Marvel Dice Throne, but from what I understand, I think that's the case. At least I don't see any reason why you couldn't make that work.

[@CorranOsgor]

In my opinion the Best Boardgame ever Made. Period. The packaging is awesome , Rulebook is easy to understand, and the Game is so much fun. But rly i can not say enough how awesome the Packaging is, everything has a place in the Box. You can Setup the game in a few Minutes and if you are done it is back in a few minutes. I dont need to buy Tupperware or Ziplock Bags to but my Tokens in, nothing. The Devs tought about everything and made one of the Best Boardgame Packaging Solution out of the Box.

[@markballeza6690]

During the boss upgrade phase, do you not sell cards that are too expensive to gain that many CP and then continue with the upgrade process? In early showcases of this game I thought that’s what happened.

[@lombanth]

If a minion dies, does it still get a defence roll? I applied 19 damaged blockable and would kill the monster to 0 and the Whispering Death has a defensive roll to ignore all damage

[@meeple]

As I (David) understand the game, the monster would always be able to apply their defensive roll abilities if the incoming damage is "blockable".

[@yuriq9182]

can you explain again the straights roll objective? I think I got it but, I am not sure lol

[@meeple]

Then that is the Roll Objective, you will only ever keep no more than one 2, 3, 4, or 5. So in other words, as soon as you have one of those (2,3,4,or5) you'll keep it locked and not keep any duplicates of those numbers. In addition, you will only ever keep any 1 or 6 ONLY if either completes a Small or Large Straight. For example, you would only ever keep a 6 as long as you also have either a 3,4,5 or a 2,3,4,5 already rolled. Same with a 1, but just on the other end of the straight possibilities. Make sense?

[@yuriq9182]

@@meeple yes. I finally got to play the whole game and it is great. I won my solo portal crawl the other night by double KO with the portal minion boss!

[@Davidbruh13]

I did not understand the rulebook so I came to this video

[@meeple]

Thanks for coming to check it out. Hope it helps.

[@caroljohnson3686]

So the cards you acquire during the portal crawl face down, do you have to buy those at the end of the portal crawl? You either pay 10 to look at it and add it or you pay its normal cost to buy blindly?

[@BoardGameTime40]

Thank you so much for this!! 🔥❤️

[@jeticeboi2416]

I was wondering what happens to the defeated minion... would I shuffle it back into its respective deck or leave it to the side in a discard pile so I never had to encounter it during that portal crawl?

[@michaelvalenti7127]

Can Marvel heroes be used for DTA or just season 1 & 2 heroes?

[@blakecurry3880]

You said a teammate must "immediately" revive you with a salve if you're knocked out. Can they do that if they are not on the same square as you? That is to say, if I was still at the start, can I revive the Gunslinger if they were two squares away? And if not, do we lose right away or do I have my turn to get over there to revive before we get a game over?

[@blakecurry3880]

Second and last question. If you choose not to reveal a loot card, do you have to sell it, or can you just keep it unidentified until the next time you head back to the shop area?

[@meeple]

Yes, I believe any other teammate can discard a salve to revive you regardless of their location.

[@TimGaastra]

So... Do you need to unsleeve your decks to play in Adventures?

[@meeple]

I would guess that you can either do that, or unsleeve cards as needed, since in many cases, you'll be replacing a card.

[@joelface]

You don't need to unsleeve. You simply add loot cards to your sleeves as you play. We slip loot upgrade cards into the same sleeve as the one they're replacing, so it's easy to keep track.

[@alasyalas9545]

How many CP stay after battle?

[@meeple]

CP only resets after a boss battle, not after any battles with minion fights/encounters.

[@Pokephantom]

Do status effects carry over from each combat? Positive and negative.

[@meeple]

Between scenarios, no. Between tiles in a portal crawl, yes.

[@tonybowers9490]

Excellent video. The best How To Play for DTA I've seen! Question - (You may have stated it, and I missed it due to the amount of stuff covered. If so, my apology for asking.) If you successfully complete a Portal Crawl and before your Boss Battle: Do you reset the upgrades you made to your hero? Do you keep any tokens (salve and/or others) on your hero board? In other words, do you start with a clean slate before the Boss Battle? Thanks in advance.

[@ski81a]

From what I am reading you keep upgrades and cards in your hand, but lose stats tokens except for salves. you clear your upgrades when you start a new campaign not between sessions

[@alfredortiz1704]

This was a lot.... I think watching you guys doing a hands on play by play would be helpful as well.

[@CrimsonHexx]

loved the explanation, amazing video. I did however feel frustrated every time I heard him say Sav instead of Salve lol

[@DireMcCann]

Sorry so late in asking but it’s come up in every play... 1) do abilities upgraded stay upgraded for the next game or do they get reshuffled into our deck? If they stay on the hero board, are those cards counted toward the 50-card deck limit? 2) moreover, do heroes keep +1’s (or any earned damage) chips, from one game to the next, or do they lose them? I guess that same question would apply to both negative and positive persistent status effects.

Upgrades yes and count toward limit. Tokens /damage no. Thanks for asking!
