This is great, clear and easy to understand. The more "how to play" videos out in the world, the better. That gives new players more chance to come across ones that they find easiest to digest.

Brilliant video. New to ccgs but just ordered the beta precon set and booster box, can't wait to get my hands on it. High hopes for this game, it looks fantastic game in it's current state and the art is beautiful

[@MrArchivist1]

Excellent video--looking forward to viewing the rest!

[@sorcerygamblersclub]

Love the l2p content leading to beta! Super helpful!!

[@constantelevation5803]

Like everyone else is saying, great job here. I look forward to watching the whole series. Just got the game, and it can be a little confusing at first.

Awesome content

[@eccboy7]

Really useful mate thank you. Slowly building my collection, but sadly i havent found anywhere in my part of the UK that plays the game yet. Clearly need to look harder haha.

[@drdiscostu]

Looks great

[@richarddefilippo3076]

Great intro to gameplay.

[@der_magische_Investor]

Well done tutorial

[@Ilphikur]

Thanks for your first How to play video! Good systematic description! You describe the terms Nearby and Adjacent. Wouldn’t the red marked areas in reach of any spellcaster (and other card with these effects)? I can’t find this exception in the official rules. What is in case of a spellcaster with Voidwalk?

[@TheWinningAgenda]

Glad you enjoyed the video! The red marked areas aren't 'nearby' or 'adjacent' to the Undertow because they are not in the same 'region'. In order for things to be 'nearby' or 'adjacent', they must be in the same region. Because there are no sites on those locations, they are void locations. The void is a different region to the surface or subsurface of the Undertow.

[@Ilphikur]

@@TheWinningAgenda Thanks! I didn’t read the examples on page 14😅 Now I understand the concept!

[@CyncalKuraion]

Thank you a lot for the explanation! But I mainly have a question: If I cast "Lightning Bolt", do I have to cast it on the site where my Avatar or a spellcaster is? Or I can target any site?

[@sorcerygamblersclub]

If it says target site, you choose. Otherwise it says target site: nearby, within two steps, adjacent, etc from your spellcaster

[@CyncalKuraion]

So in case of Lightning Bolt, specifically, since it says "Deal 3 damage at a random unit, at target location" I can target any location, right? @@sorcerygamblersclub

[@sorcerygamblersclub]

@giammi887 yes but the unit taking the damage is random unless there is 1 target or you have kythera mechanism i believe

[@devinmychan9262]

That was really helpful thank you. Now about that pesky beta problem...😅

[@gracep2910]

Would love this game to get an online version somehow

[@Feddog25]

When are you putting out the new how to video??

[@TheWinningAgenda]

Hopefully next month! Lots of exciting content coming up for the beta launch in the next few weeks :)
