How to Play: Star Wars Rebellion

[@ClutchSituation]

12:18 It's noteworthy that unopposed "attempt" missions automatically succeed. The rules allow you to oppose with any leader, even if they have none of the relevant symbols on their stand for the mission. Even though you would roll no dice in opposition, it is still worth consideration because it forces your opponent to roll at least one success. Fun tip for those watching. :)

[@pixxelwizzard]

Really enjoyed the camera work during the setup phase.

[@johnyramble]

Finally an excellent video for this game. It took a while but it was worth it. Short, to the point, covered everything and, most importantly, the host wasn't boring.

[@baredas]

At 22:20 when choosing Action cards you don't discard the card not chosen, it goes to the bottom of the deck.

[@BlueBunnyTheThird]

PS: Probe deck mission is not the top 4 cards, but 1 for each 4 units in the rebel base, might want to add an annotation there. :) Around minute: 13:22

[@qandagaming9802]

+BlueBunnyTheThird Yea good point I was kind of rushing through what the cards do :P

[@KevinMarema]

This is the most clear and concise tutorial I've watched of this game so far. Well done and I'll be looking forward to more of your videos.

[@grimmdelvillar8309]

Damaged units are not removed until after the relevant combat phase, ie. Space units that are destroyed still get to attack before being removed. Therefore both attackers and defenders both get full attacks before casuaties are removed

[@DannyStuart]

Great tutorial - definitely helped to cut down the time I'll need to spend with the rulebook this christmas! Just a bit of constructive criticism if you don't mind - when you're holding a card, you tend to gesture with it, making it hard to read. Difficult not to do, but it's probably best to just set them down on the table when talking about them. Thanks for the great video, I can't wait to play this game.

[@BillGatesLovesMyJunk]

That's a fantastic point. I loved this video, I normally never watch these to learn how to play a game, but I'm certainly glad I saw this one. Your suggestion would have made it even better. Thanks for posting this, Jeramiah!

[@atarahM]

@17:02 ---if the leader already there has tactics value, can a player still bring in a new leader?

[@joshroberts8278]

One of the best tutorials on this game I've seen. Only thing I noticed was you don't remove the defending ships that are destroyed until after they fire once. You should do a second video on specific rules people are having problems with. The main game is easy to grasp but the rule book does a poor job on certain rules.

[@qandagaming9802]

+Josh Roberts Good catch, we noticed this as we watched the video back and I tried to add an annotation at that part of the video. We really appreciate the support though, and a common mistakes video is absolutely something we could put together.

[@joshroberts8278]

+Q and A Gaming people should put down questions they are having in these comments

[@PartnersofMachino]

Thank you for the clear and concise description of gameplay!

[@alexanderk1206]

Thanks for the tutorial - it saved me at least an hour of rules explanation xD Great job!

[@syd9956]

Really nice tutorial, 26 minutes watching much better then two times reading instruction.Well done,

[@qandagaming9802]

+Bartek Brzozowski Thanks so much, we appreciate the support!

[@immaculateboy]

Superb, straight forward instructions. Thanks for this contribution to other confused gamers out there like myself.

[@ReadySteadyPlay]

Is that a cheeky copy of Millennium Blades I spy at 8:19?!

[@atarahM]

@18:50--- who decides which specific units take the hit from an attacker's dice ?

[@UAlredyKnowWhatItIss]

Attacker decides where to put the damage

[@adriang6259]

Great video. One of the better tutorials for this game.

[@ruardaftpunk]

thanks for the 'how to'. really helpful. missed the part about moving to and from the rebel base though.

[@Power-Mad]

Thank you, that was a very clean description of the game. Liiiiiittle jumpy in going between phases but most helpful I've found.

[@sethgivens]

Great run through! Very succinct and to the point. Did you script it all out ahead of time? I will be using this video to train in all my friends who want to play this game.

[@scottagnew7388]

Nice teaching I have a much better grasp of the game now. I take it when you move troops you can draw from all surrounding systems? My copy is on its way now only played a mates copy so far so I don't have the rules to consult.

[@qandagaming9802]

+scott agnew Yes you can pull units from any adjacent systems that do not contain a leader. Thanks for watching and let me know if you have anything else we can help you with!

[@atarahM]

@19:15 does space battle have to be entirely completed before beginning land combat, or do you switch off (1 round space then 1 round land then 1 round space etc....)?

[@UAlredyKnowWhatItIss]

Switch off

[@adriang6259]

How do you fight off invasion in a system if you have no Leaders in the Leader pool?

[@leksluthor3]

Do you discard the tactics cards after the combat? If you said it in the video I'm sorry I missed it.

[@supertoast1991]

Himencrash yes

[@supertoast1991]

You also shuffle them back into the deck when there is no more cards in the deck

[@johnythefox100]

Good job explaining the rules. I feel that Rebellion is a little over-complicated. It doesn't help that the actual Learn-to-play guide is terrible.

[@atarahM]

@19:39 ---do u mean wherever an attacker's UNITS came from or wherever a attacker's LEADER came from? TIA

[@flinx1241]

A very good overview! Thanks!

[@json8trdude668]

Thanks! I wish i had seen this before reading 2hrs of rules! DOH! The good thing is this confirmed we played it right, ffrom now on im checking for videos before reading rules for hours! Well done on the video, also love the aviator shirt!

[@jovaleni7188]

Great video, Only questions i had were what are the two extra spaces after influence token starting spot for? and if a rebel leader is in a system with imperial troops and ships does this stop them moving out of that system into another? or does it act the same as if a imperial leader is present and stop them moving from the system. Thanks

[@qandagaming9802]

I no longer have the game, but I believe that there is some mechanism that will actually push the influence marker back, I think it is somewhere in the cards. And no only your own leaders stop movement from a system. Thanks for the questions!

[@Subtrendy]

I believe that if a leader if frozen in carbonite the rebels lose a reputation point. This also happens if Luke is lured to the dark side. So, I guess in the rare situation where both of those things happen and the rebels have still not gained any reputation, you'll need to have those two spots to move it back.

[@Mailed-Knight]

FF games loves their deck of cards, I remember when games only had two-to-three decks.

[@kaasmaster8892]

Grim Knight no

[@KingAmroth]

Hey, thanks for the brief and well-scripted video. My only criticism is that you shouldn't gesture with your hands while doing the close-ups. Maybe some scans added in post if you wanna get fancy. Thumbs up'd!

[@luisgabriel5737]

If I'm revealing the 3 rebel icons and for example I reveal one rebel icon and then a imperial icon, can I use this imperial icon already for the Imperial systems or do I have to find all the 3 rebel icons first?

[@johnwestensnorris6391]

The first 5 or 3 drawn for Imperials or Rebels respectfully are the only ones that count.

[@Rahul-m6g6s]

21:20 - I think you drew 3 cards.

[@bac1n]

Nice tutorial, looking forward to breaking this out this weekend and blowing up Naboo.

[@biasedhistory618]

I don't think the Emperor will be happy about that.

[@bobdole8830]

Great video but I think you made an error when you explained how many points dice will give you during missions

[@gpage8798]

This was excellent. Very useful.

[@BackgammonNoord-brabant]

In combat what happen if one side dosent have ground or space troops

[@olebrommm]

if you attack a system with only greound units you take control of the space and do ground combat only. and wise versa, you can also attack having no ground units and do only space combat

[@biasedhistory618]

@@olebrommm Can you take over a Planet with spaceships?

[@olebrommm]

@@biasedhistory618 no then you only do blockade of the planet. No units can be placed there by the owner when the oponent have ships in the system.

[@zomorion9183]

What does "gain 2 loyalty" mean? A planet only has 1 influence slot. What does this mean?

[@olebrommm]

if a system had localty from the other faction and you gain 1 localty in that system., that system goes back to beeing neutral. by gaining 2 localty you can turn a rebel system into a imperial loyal system with that misssion, and wise versa

[@Blycker]

Nice job on the tutorial. I think I have the gist of it and am looking forward to playing with a colleague at lunch today! There are two small adjustments I'd ask for as a viewer. 1-When you show us a card, hold it a bit farther away so that the camera can focus on it and then hold it still so that viewers can actually read it. 2- Maybe slow down your speech just a bit. Some of the explanation went by so fast, I could hardly take in what you were saying because the words went by so fast.

[@ClutchSituation]

Try to use the terminology of the game whenever possible. You should use the word "loyalty" instead of "influence". I understand what you mean, but terminology in this game is very important. Influence is not a term. It doesn't appear anywhere in the rulebook. Loyalty is, and it is very different from subjugation. By using the term "influence", you risk new players confusing imperial loyalty and subjugation as being the same thing, even though you say the difference near the end of the video. Great video though!
