HOW to WIN as MOTHER GOTHEL | Villainous Strategy Guide

[@liamphill2873]

Isolation is good. Corona is bad. I feel like there's a message to this character 🤔

[@LordoftheBoard]

LiamPhill haha 😂😂 yes... it is very accurate to the times. I stayed clear of making a joke about it thought cause I don’t want to offend. But perfect time to release!

[@KettouRyuujin]

...clever boy.

[@korhol2065]

Talk about a coincidence

[@OldMovieRob]

One of the more challenging players, I think. But that golden hairbrush really helps things if you play it and keep moving it to her spot to build trust, then play Stabbington or someone to periodically send her back to the tower.

[@LordoftheBoard]

reformedfruit yes! She is a trickier villain. I love the challenge with her and it can feel super fun to pull off cool combos! B thanks for watching!

[@RubenRuizJr]

I like all three villains in this expansion! To add to your power play: I have a crown in Corona so when I am vanishing I get another trust so I end up with 4 trusts in one go.

[@taylorgaydon818]

you can also move the hairbrush into the location as well to get five trust with all of the aforementioned conditions in play lmao

[@connorplisga3718]

Disney Villainous: Justice Served Bad 1. Frollo 2. Gaston 3. Lady Tremaine Disney Villianous: Magic and Mayhem 1. Magica de Spell 2. Shere Khan 3. Shan Yu

[@t.lanfield1936]

Great ideas, although I’m not sure about Magica de Spell.

[@electrckdjay]

A DuckTales realm would be so cool!! Yes to Magica de Spell!

[@Livingdeadskeleton]

I agree. However, Donald was involved in Pete’s and I don’t think they want to respect any hero that already appeared in one. I think for Magic and Mayhem, we can do Madame Mim.

[@OldMovieRob]

I'd love to play this game as Gaston. If only...

@@LordoftheBoard OH GOOD! Cuz I definitely wanna see how your strategy advice helps you (and others) play that Villain.! Hahaha :D

[@JoshSmith-on3yl]

Yay! I’ve been waiting for this one and I’m so excited to use these tips! My favorite villain is mother Gothel for sure!

[@suitman]

Now I get why gothel wanted to keep rapunzel inside.

[@rkilo3845]

Got 5 trust in one round and almost had a heart attack, With the Crown at Corona, two royal guards at Corona, one with the Knife attached, the Hairbrush at the Forest, Rapunzel at Corona, I started by moving to Rapunzel's Tower, moving the Hairbrush onto Corona to gain 1 trust, vanquished Rapunzel with the guards and Knife gaining the 2nd trust, discarding the Crown to gain a 3rd, then I played I Love You The Most, gaining the 4th and 5th because both Mother Gothel an Rapunzel where together at the Tower Went from 8 to 13 and realised I probably shouldnt have started crying but ah well 10 points to Gryffindor 🤙

[@EmmaMaezin]

Incredible move 😩💖

[@LordoftheBoard]

Thats legendary :D

[@lexiradjmj]

Hi Sam, just discovered your channel today and already a fan! The videos are good quality overall and your tips are super useful for a beginner like me. One suggestion I have for future video ideas: it would be sweet if you did a series on how best to play *against* each villain! Keep up the great work. Apart from your obvious knack for playing board games, you definitely have a knack for producing youtube videos!

[@LordoftheBoard]

Lexi Barnes wow thank you so much for the content Lexi :) I really appreciate it. I have been working up a sort of HEROS guide for all the villains. So stay tuned!

[@davidstone281]

Sweet! I've learned a number of skills with playing Gothel against my friends. This helped me even more. Thanks! Btw I thought of another idea for a Villainous expansion. A Kung Fu Panda expansion with Tai Lung, Lord Shen and Kai. But they each have their own deck but instead of them having their own Fate decks, they have one that is basically in the middle that can affect each of them. Now, Tai Lung has no allies. Which would be difficult to make a whole deck for him. But I think it can be done. The Evil Queen for example only has one ally.

[@LordoftheBoard]

Glad I could be of help! And that expansion sounds sick! :D

[@davidstone281]

@@LordoftheBoard Yeah I'm a huge fan of the Kung Fu Panda trilogy. The villains are one of the reasons. Lord Shen being my favorite outta the three of them. He's the one I'm mostly focusing on right now with making a deck for him, his realm board and Fate cards. I'm also going back and watching all the movies while doing this.

[@t.lanfield1936]

David Stone a Marvel Villainous is coming and they will have a shared fate deck!

[@OutrageousSlave]

Yasssss finally! Love you handsome king!

[@LordoftheBoard]

Thank you!

[@aldrinvendt8524]

I did the combo you suggested, but also used the hairbrush item. I went from 8 trust to 12, that way, when I got fated, not even Eugene could stop me!

[@LordoftheBoard]

Proud 🥲

[@stephenandolino]

love the Lady Gothal deck! Feels like a middle to low “win percentage”, but love the all the combos you can set up. It’s def a play style that keeps you “very engaged on repunzals movements”.. always thinking turns ahead and reaching for creative ways to get that trust 😎.

[@LordoftheBoard]

I totally agree!

[@kadendavis6238]

You are so great great advice made me win as Yzma! Omg plz keep making videos if a new expansion comes out!

[@kingkaratechop3978]

Great guide again as usual! My top 3 picks for new villains are Zurg, Randall, and Oogie Boogie! What do you think of those 3, and are there any certain villains you really want to see next?

[@mightyirish22]

Gaston and/or Sheer Khan

[@house0paine535]

Never played this game in my life, but I watched the whole thing. Quite possibly my favorite Disney movie.

[@LordoftheBoard]

One of the top Disney movies for sure. Also the game is great....

[@brianbaez4376]

Thanks for all the advise!

[@LordoftheBoard]

That’s what I am here for!

[@mikecore22]

Love the video! I think your most comprehensive yet! I was wondering which villains you felt were the easiest and which were the most difficult to win with in this series to date. For me the easiest: 1. Queen of Hearts 2. Maleficent 3. Evil Queen from Snow White 4. Prince John 5. Dr. Facilier 6. Ratigan The hardest (these are mostly based on how tough the fate decks are on the following villains): 1. Hades 2. Pete 3. Scar 4. Mother Gothel 5. Jafar 6. Yzma Any thoughts?

[@angelomcgowen4145]

I thought mother gothel's fate deck was super easy and very ineffective in deterring her strategy. But I think I agree with all the others though

[@OrichalkosTV]

I was waiting for this one

[@LordoftheBoard]

I’m glad it is here :)

[@IrvingGreen]

Thank the lord(t)! Haha. Finally figured out how to play her last night. Thanks for the tips! I know there’s the Marvel themed villainous coming out, but do you think they’ll do atleast another Disney themed expansion? We need Oogie Boogie, Frollo, Gaston, Lady Tramaine! 😫

[@LordoftheBoard]

Irving Green I’m really hoping more are coming! Marvel is a inspired by this game but has a lot of different mechanics so I like that they will keep them separate

[@IrvingGreen]

Lord of the Board Right! Like I’ll still get it, of course lol. but hopefully they’ll run both lines and not switch over to only Marvel. Disney likes to make money! Hehe.

[@KettouRyuujin]

I know a couple of those have been in fan expansions, although idk if that works since they’re unofficial and all.

[@IrvingGreen]

KettouRyuujin ahh okay. Well worst comes to worst I’ll make my own too lol. I actually have quite a bit of experience with designing board games from the ground up.

[@Simple_City]

I see no reason why Disney would stop making expansions for this game. It seems pretty popular, at least it was at Christmas time when I tried to buy the 3 packs they had available (I could only find them at one store out of the 4 or 5 I tired looking at, sold out everywhere!). Plus, there are so many villains that they haven't released yet, I think it would be a pretty poor decision for Disney to just switch over to making only the Marvel game. (And personally, I don't really care about the Marvel game 😂😂. Keep giving me those classic Disney villains!)

[@garishere]

Thanks for another awesome strategy! I have the gave but have yet to try any of them. Sneaky Pete seems like the most fun for me though.

[@LordoftheBoard]

Really appreciate the compliment! Pete is a blast. My fav is probably mother Gothel out of the 3 though

[@napustangwattanakarn4535]

Love how her whole deck is gaslighting 101

[@GreenLab-vo7vs]

Question: Does rapunzel still move at the end of her turn if cards like now I’m the bad guy, the stabbys, or you defeat her?

[@LordoftheBoard]

Yes! always at the end of your turn you will move her 1 location over. Unless you have a card that says you don't have to that turn.

[@picklejuice1533]

You should do one on how to slow down or stop them from reaching there goal

[@LordoftheBoard]

I’ve been thinking of doing something like that! Stay tuned so you don’t miss it!

[@electrckdjay]

I would love to see strategy videos on how to best stop the villains from winning. Stopping mother gothel in two player games are so difficult.

[@LordoftheBoard]

I have a gameplay releasing tomorrow against mother Gothel! Hopefully that can help some. I may do a series about going up against villains. But really the videos show what’s most important to the villain. So as long as you are cutting out those things when fating you will hurt them! Thank you for watching :)

[@electrckdjay]

Lord of the Board I definitely appreciate the reply! Quarantine life has definitely resulted in lots of two player sessions and it’s just so hard to find a character that can easily be matched against mother Gothel! Thanks for all the videos!

[@angelomcgowen4145]

Mother grothel's fate cards are not that great, as opposed to someone like Mickey &minnie mouse for Pete or Pongo for cruella. I know jafar has some tough fate cards that totally wreck him with Aladdin and abu. But yea, mother grothel really doesnt have any tough hero cards that really wreck her

[@LordoftheBoard]

Hey that would be from the cauldron which is always referred too as the supply

[@mightyirish22]

From the cauldron

[@joshhook2633]

Do you get a trust when rapunzel is moved back to the tower as it says so on the back of the card that tells you what each symbol means but it doesn’t say anything about it in her villain guide?

[@LordoftheBoard]

You do not gain trust when you move her back! Only when a card effect allows you too :)

[@bormond6771]

Great videos. I love your hasrd work with them. I have a question, if Rapunzel has an attached item when she is defeated, she must be moved to the tower instead. But does she keep the item?

[@LordoftheBoard]

Items are discarded. :)

[@davidmorenorequena4823]

Awesome!!! But poor Happy!!! More than 100 hereos in other decks and it has to be him!!! Jajajaja I really wish I could play with you some day if you have table top simulator. Nice work man!!!

[@LordoftheBoard]

David Moreno Requena haha yes I chose him as an example as a subtle way to say that it can be any form of defeating not just vanquishing for that condition to work 😂 poor happy! I will probably jump on the TS train I just really prefer real life cards and components. But I’m slowly getting there.

[@ryanmelontube]

13:50 but would it not be 2 trust? Vanquishing her would be -1, the knife would be +1 (the the crown or knife can help you net 0) and then the 2 from the effect?

[@LordoftheBoard]

Vanquishing her doesn’t lose trust. And it gains it if done with the knife. So 3 :)

[@brianvillescas7757]

Anytime Rapunzel goes to Rapunzel’s tower from being vanquished, does Mother Gothel lose a trust?

[@froboy56001]

i know its a bit late BUT i need clarification it seems you show using revenge to kill 3 heroes at the same time....what?

[@LordoftheBoard]

It doesnt kill 3 at a time. I was just making a point as you should be using Revenge to defeat Hero's at the tower.

[@Helperishere]

My favorite is 100% mother Gothel. Tangled is one of my favorite movies to ever exist so its only fitting she is my favorite

[@LordoftheBoard]

Love mother Gothell!

[@allyvasquez5803]

Can patchy move rapunzel to her tower once he is already played to one location? Or do I always have to put him down in order for him to be playable ???

[@LordoftheBoard]

You have to play him at rapunzels location in order to cause her to move to the tower :) you can’t say.. use a move action to move him to her location and do that.

[@davidstone281]

Mother Gothel is my main and I once got her to 12 Trust in a one v one match against Cruella. My last turn bf I won, I got 5 Trust, which put me at 12 Trust total. How I got it was amazing. First off, Rapunzel and Flynn were both at the Snuggly Duckling. I moved Gothel to the Forest, gained my 2 Power first. Used the move action to move the Hair Brush from the Tower to Rapunzel's location and gained the first Trust. Next, I used my first Play A Card action to play the Crown to Flynn's location. Second, I played Revenge to Vanquish Flynn and discarded the Crown. So, I got a Trust from Revenge, a Trust from discarding the Crown and 2 Trust from defeating Flynn. My opponent playing as Cruella had this look like 😳

[@LordoftheBoard]

Holy moly! mabye you should write the guides! thats impressive :)

[@davidstone281]

@@LordoftheBoard Yeah it was amazing.

[@rachaelsmith8179]

Hey, when your playing a revenge card, it claims you can vanquish a hero. To vanquish a hero, do I have to have an Ally equal or more to the hero to remove it or can I play that card without loosing an ally?? The card is not very specific... Thanks!

[@LordoftheBoard]

rachael smith you would have to have the allies. When it says defeat a hero then you don’t have to do a vanquish. But any time vanquish wording is used it is treated as performing a vanquish action :)

[@RicoSuaveMTL]

Lord of the board! Love your videos man. Question for you..do you start losing trust on the same turn you move rapunzel from the forest to corona? Or is it the following turn if rapunzel is still at corona ? Not sure if what I asked made sense lol. Thx in advance

[@LordoftheBoard]

An easier way to find out if you owe trust is if you can’t move rapunzel 1 location over. So in your example it would be the following turn :)

Yooo I'm back with another question for ya lol so the royal guards, u can use to move rapunzel to the guards new position. Even though u move rapunzel back using the guard's. After ur turn she still moves forward correct? So now rapunzel is back to the position she originally was except for the guard

[@LordoftheBoard]

Deo Yanong yes! At the end of every turn you move rapunzel over. So it truly is like a game of tug of war and requires planning out not where she is but where she will be and what spots she’s covering. Technically in order to have most action options early game you want to go to locations before her so that she moves to your location at the end of the turn and all the other locations at the beginning of your next turn are clear.

I just had to comment again. I've been playing a lot with family and friends for the past couple months. Gothel is the only villain I've been playing and I've had a lot of fun with her. I've actually won a lot of games. She's my favorite one to play and also she's my favorite Disney villain overall.

Ok so we play at 3, i was playing mother gothel one was Pit and the other was the one in Cinderella, and i think mother gothel have a pretty bad way to get a win, she is not that hard, but hell she is one of the slowest for getting her objective done Pit win btw, we put like 3 time his fatality deck on him but Pit wtf So in 2hour of the game i finish with only 5 trust, and i only get 3 fatality on me, but was the most far from winning I was doing fine until it's that part of the game where you can't not fatality at every turn but hell its impossible to win if the enemy can win every turn if u didn't fatality Cause you can't move Rapunzel with efficiency and your starting to lose more and more, i think she is easy to understand but oh god win seems to be another pair of hand
