How to Play Legend of the Five Rings: The Card Game

[@TheAcad3mic]

This game is honestly the deepest and most tactical card game I've ever played. A huge amount of decision points really make it a highly skill based game with a very high skill ceiling, which minimises variance. And its resource system is nothing short of a revolution.

[@anthonymousinfamous7858]

Have u played the original collectible card game?

[@Kronomantis]

@Nathan Ravesteyn agot first edition remains one of the best

[@skootz24]

RIP Netrunner

[@cleanliving1612]

Did you ever play Netrunner? I think it blows L5R out of the water, but maybe I'm just tired of traditional attack/defend mechanics

[@Icagel0]

@@cleanliving1612 Coming from Netrunner to L5R I think there's a space for both in my library as they fill different niches. Netrunner has the assymetrical gameplay and feels more direct tension, L5R has great resource management and it's way easier to teach to someone that comes from, let's say, Mitos y Leyendas or most popular TCG's. Also it's a tad shorter, we can probably fit in three L5R games in the space of two Netrunner games, which makes a difference when we want to try stuff out. I have time with a friend that's experienced in TCG's and we're in for mindgames? Netrunner Want something slightly ligher but with depth and that I can try out with mostly anyone? L5R Onitama, Neuroshima Hex and Hive are also great strategy game choices with simple mechanics and plenty of depth, in shorter spans and more portable.

[@Feeluck]

i think this is great if you have played the game at least once, but its way too much input to actually learn the game

[@pancakemachine4889]

1:35 World Class shuffling.

[@IHazMagics]

30 seconds in, I am in physical pain.

[@HarfangX]

This production style is just terrible and all this narrated banther is just insufferable

[@RandomSpawnBocaro]

Omg yes... I learnt nothing useful either :(

[@BaronKrool]

Yep. First it's full cringe with the HONOR, and then it just does other kinds of cringe shit immediately afterward. What an embarrassing video.

[@timeforringydingy]

oh god, i hate it.

[@robertbridges2378]

I "died" in 10.

[@erezamir7218]

How did they not get Matt Colville for this

[@ShirtlessDan]

I've been curious about this game ever since I watched Matthew Colville's video about its story.

[@NathanSmithRenown0]

SaiyanAlchemist2 Yeah! Matthew was right then and is still right! This is the rebooted version of the game. Doji Hoturi is now Hotaru, and we're still waiting to see whether they make her get all corrupted like her predecessor. It's amazing how much of the mystery they've been able to retain even now when you can just check everything on the internet.

[@Gojoseon]

What a confusingly complex game. Love the art though.

[@NickCauthon1313]

Here I am watching this in 2021 and this feels SOOOOOO different from when I played over 20 years ago

[@xpyder]

Sitting here watching an adorkable Becca Scott actively making this tutorial more interesting made me realize why I'm still subbed to G&S I enjoy poking around and seeing the new things they're putting out, even if I can't keep up with it all.

[@Ryan-mech-muffin]

Adorable is definitely the right descriptor

[@simonknibbs5867]

I like Becca and she is always entertaining, but.. this is not a good way to learn how to play. Why not just show the first 1-2 turns of the game instead?

[@DThunder107]

Simon Knibbs or like... make an episode of tabletop out of it.

[@simonknibbs5867]

Well, yeah, I would rather see the full game, but that looks to be on Alpha or Twitch only. I was just suggesting a part of that show on free view to introduce the game instead.

[@ijithekiller]

They do play an actual game, if you pay attention to the end of the video they play it on Game the Game. These videos are just the tutorials they release for whatever game they are playing or have played for Game the Game on twitch or Alpha.

[@simonknibbs5867]

I don't know Game the Game or have Alpha. Having someone tell you the rules for a game is not a good way to learn. It would be better to just show part of the video on demand on KZbin instead.

[@ijithekiller]

That is fine but if that's what you want I'm sure you can find a video of people playing the game. They are trying to keep the videos under 10 minutes for monetary reasons while giving you the option to watch actual game play, if your not willing to watch Game the Game on twitch or Alpha then it's your problem.

[@splattru]

Where is all the fun content from this channel? Tabletop, Larps, Titansgrave, Cooptitude, even Super fun awesome party game time... The only reason I am still subscribed is because I wait for that content to come back, at least maybe some of it. Is there any hope?

[@MrThewooter]

Did she mention revealing provinces on attacking it, and the fact you have to break 3 to get to attack the opponents stronghold?

[@Arimil1234512345]

Lol. Tune in on November 8th. Published on November 14th. GG.

[@dannyjack2000]

My life is full of people that would be like, "Uhhh this is too complex, where's the Monopoly board.", I think the game and the cards do look beautiful though.

[@ErdTirdMans]

Becca Scott looking 10/10 ...as usual. Sadly, not interested in this game but thank you for making these how to videos because others have actually gotten me there

[@Desertpuma]

I remember when this game was a CCG. I still have my decks from back when it first started in the late 90s.

[@MagnaRyuuDesigns]

Same here. Did you happen to play Spellfire. that was a cool game sadly the rules were so confusing at times that it died.

[@mephisto40]

I bought a starter deck of this 15 years ago and could never work out how to play it lol

[@DannySisto]

Me too!

[@bruced648]

if you bought the cards 15 years ago, you bought a different game. the version she shows, is a completely different game than the one created by AEG in 1996.

[@starxhilmie]

is that you Kimmy Schmidt ?

[@thejack48]

[@MrHuntersnapp]

I used to play this years ago, Emperor Edition to be exact. A really fun game, just not a big community at all unfortunately. I enjoyed it as much, if not more than MTG, and I used to play that at a competitive level until a few years ago

[@Goblin_Wizard]

Seems like a great game, just has a bit much going on, I remember a friend trying to get me into it years ago, but went for a different dead fantasy flight game, Star Wars Destiny.

[@MyTinyBalcony]

I played from 1999-2007 It seems to have gotten more complex or am I missing something.

[@DimitrisSitaras]

DIT AND DRY BREAD!

[@ArtFord]

tldr: FF spent years redoing the game to a different system as the AEG ccg, but ended up keeping almost the exact same rules with a few things to make it easier to be a deck building game.

[@anthonydean8477]

Thank you, finally found videos that shows not tells, I had no idea what all those other people were talking about

[@TheJPKaram]

Any idea where is their gameplay video?

[@RanwulfMaxwell]

Uh...is the Live stream going to be in the past? Or is it going to be on November 18th?

[@bluejaybeautie635]

Um... in the descript, it says the game will be streamed Last Week 1st) I watched that stream and it definitely was not, it was the Thing 2nd) how do we catch a stream that happened in the past

[@sertaki]

Maybe Rick Sanchez is to blame.

[@Subb2kSurvivor]

i wish Gingers had souls instead of cuteness. Maybe souls and cuteness!

[@mikepictor]

whoa...this game has changed since I last played it

[@anthonymousinfamous7858]

This is a stand alone set. Not the original

[@schwann145]

It's very thematically similar and very mechanically different than the old CCG it used to be. ;)

[@GaryArkham]

I love these tutorials. Great production and amazing host!

[@davewhite756]

What happens if both players pick 5 every round

I have some L5R cards I don't use anymore. If you would like, I can send them your way!

[@Tairutheshogun]

Becca there are 5 other clans in the box.... you had Lion and Crane out but there is Crab, Dragon, Phoenix, Scorpion and, Unicorn cards in the box.

[@ThatGuyWithFace]

Jeff Phillips yeah, she acknowledges there are 3 other clans at the end. This is a tutorial so she only needs 2.

[@Tairutheshogun]

Avery Estep mate there are a total of 7 clans in the box. Re read the original comment and note the use of the word "other"

[@ThatGuyWithFace]

Jeff Phillips oh, my bad. I misread that

[@Tairutheshogun]

Avery Estep it is okay

[@Steampunkifyable]

This game is still around? It's a CCG still right?

[@Marutein]

No its now a Living Card Game. AEG sold the CCG long time ago.

[@lvcsslacker]

confusing game... but I've been wondering about this for a long time!

[@captaintalon4485]

Did FFG aquire the rights to L5R because not only the card game is being rebooted but the tabletop RPG as well

I mean, this seems like a decent rule overview. But it is so painful to watch.

The amount of fake hype in this video is tangible. 8min video felt like 1 hour of pain.

[@joshzwarevilla2233]

what happend to tabletop

[@shallendor]

This is for the show Game the Game which has been around as long as Critical Role, This season has only Becca as Host, the previous seasons had Becca and Ivan as hosts. Game the Game rarely has an episode posted on KZbin, same as most shows on the Geek & Sundry Twitch channel other than Critical Role. From what i understand, if there are anymore seasons of Tabletop, it will be without Wil!

[@joshzwarevilla2233]

thanks for the help

[@RDR911]

shallendor game the game is only available on Alpha, so I don't see how this is a fair trade. Losing one of the 2 good shows on G&S for a cringy over the top chick sucks.

[@shallendor]

Game the Game isn't an Alpha only show and never has been, and Tabletop wasn't a Twitch show. Game the Game has been on long before Alpha and this is the first season she has hosted it on her own, since Ivan is now a producer. Legendary only put this season of Tabletop on Alpha to get people to join Alpha since it is a popular KZbin show, and that is supposedly why Wil will no longer involved in Tabletop!

[@xxhellspawnedxx]

That's the first I've heard of Wil supposedly quitting G&S and/or Tabletop. I've tried to find info, but so far, the closest I've found was a post from a couple of months ago stating that the future of Tabletop is "uncertain". But if G&S have replaced Tabletop, a show/trademark I reckon they don't wholly own/control, with Game the Game, which I assume they do own, I can see why this would be the case. The really farcical part of it is that G&S seems to have missed the point in history where online video-on-demand with voluntary pay-in made cable TV lose major chunks of their business. Or, in other words, forgot their own ascension from a minuscule and "Mostly Harmless" (to quote Douglas Adams) into an online influencer to be reckoned with. The cable channels won't ever recoup those loses, so I really can't understand why G&S would think that replicating the cable TV model online would be a good idea. And it's not even HBO levels of cable, which manages to hang on to it's market share by constantly producing very high octane shows, that they offer world-wide and through multiple mediums. It's closer to the hundreds upon hundreds of crap cable channels that have died since the internet video boom started, regionally or nationally limited channels mostly filling people's watching devices with different frequencies of white noise, that subsisted on being included in package deals more than people actually wanting to watch them.

[@gcdrummer02]

People still play L5R?

[@justin798]

As always, dial it back a notch. While this video is better than others, her over the top attitude, while potentially fun, works against the video content by being pretty distracting. The over enthusiasm should promote and compliment the content, not detract from it.

[@silverio7]

Well it's your opinion...and it's wrong.

[@justin798]

silverio7 cool reply, bro.

[@Marutein]

i think also this over enthusiasm and style dont make the game look interessting... i think i can't show my gf this video to convince her to play with me the game... This was to much and to fast. Also nothing mention about the clans at all...

[@kirikolp9897]

i am agreeing with you justin. i get an idea about what she is trying to achieve, but it didnt work for me. also there are some rules that she explained wrong, but i cant be too critical because the ruling for this game isnt as simple as someone may think :D

[@nicholasbreslin4484]

She's just kind of cringy, she should dial it down

This would have been SO much better on Tabletop with Will Wheaton. I mean even as someone who played a little of the CCG that this game is based off of, which is different even from this version, I am rather lost BEFORE I even hit the end.

[@bideogames4946]

I want to play this awesome game but I know FFG will just abandon it in a few years and there is no local playgroup specifically because of that reason.

[@toddalmond1941]

In the last 7 days this channel has posted a thinly-veiled ad for for Alpha (this one), 2 blatant ads for Alpha, 2 re-runs of content that initially aired somewhere else, and only one video with substance from Satine Phoenix that lasted all of 22(ish) minutes. The "About" section is *years* out of date. Put a bullet in this channel already, it's an embarrassment.

[@MrRaposaum]

The game is actually good, but it's not quick to learn at all. My suggestion is: look at the art of the cards watch (good) videos, see if one or more clans appeal to you and decide if you think it is worth it. Again, it's not a "easy to learn and ready to go" game at all. Its complexity and strategies are what attract L5R players into it. For me its that and also the theme. Also about this video: Good videos of L5R are made by people that actually like the game and can explain it to you ("plainly" or "excitedly") without making you cringe every 30 seconds. For me she sounds like "You know what? I don't like this game, I don't care about it, I'll just do my stereotypical presentation because it always works". People like this game, but no one is "hyped" (fake) in the same as way as her about any aspect of this game. That's not the mood of it lol.

[@robertallen1106]

Came here because I wanted to learn, left because I was fatally stricken by the cringe.

[@TheKabutops]

Trying to make it "fun" and displaying fake excitement is extremely annoying. I feel like this woman is talking down to me as if though I am a 6 year old and she is trying to make the game sound exciting. I can't even watch this crap anymore. Whoever told her to act that would should be fired.
