[@Crinklechip-s]

Thanks friend. I really needed the skinny on these decks. Very helpful.

[@RedZoneRogue]

Cheers! I'm glad you found it useful!

When does this come out?i always love when new card games release,I’ve got into many games like the day they’ve come out

[@mateusz.w.nawrocki]

Thanks.

[@thebeanz7838]

I forgot to ask before. Would you say you HAVE to get Two Core Sets to Play with More Than 2 People?

[@RedZoneRogue]

hmm I think you'd be able to make more than 2 decks (maybe 3? It might be close) and you might run out of tokens - so maybe if you have some dice or something to use instead of health/sanity tokens? haha

[@thebeanz7838]

@@RedZoneRogue Thanks man! Sounds like I got some choices to make lol but I'm sure it'll work out in the end. Just really want to play this ^_^

[@thtgrldiana6388]

I'm only missing Winifred and loved your concise review.. but this leaves a slight gap for me. FFG 'highly' recommends two core sets for 3-4 players, but if these character starter decks are configured to be "used on their own, without the need for any additional player cards or, ...." why would a second core set be needed except for the additional resource tokens? Again, I'm new to the game and am still trying to work through my first rule-read and game play steps. Yes your solo play-through is helping me a lot.. thanks for that as well!

[@thtgrldiana6388]

PS.. the quote is from the 'How to play' section of the character-pack

[@RedZoneRogue]

You pretty much nailed it - you would only need a 2nd core set (for a 3-4 player game) for the tokens (and honestly you can just use dice or whatever really - we just use those 3rd party tokens I showed off in the "How to Start Playing" Video and bust out the core set tokens when we have company over to play)

[@RedZoneRogue]

That is assuming you also have a starter deck for each player beyond the 2nd (though you may be able to make 3 decks from a single core set, it'll be tight)

[@chrisward5263]

Wait when did they do a card game

[@RedZoneRogue]

A while ago I think. I made a video about how to start playing it a little bit back :) it's prob the best co op experience Ive had in a card game

[@chrisward5263]

@@RedZoneRogue okay I'll check out the video and do some research while I'm at it. Can't believe I missed that one.

[@Jellocheck]

When i start with the Blob Szenario, i now seraching for a great Solo Charackter. I have never played AH Cardgame before. A few people say, for Blob buy one of the new Charackters. What do you think about my Choosen Cahrackters for a real solo Game. These are: Stella or Nathaniel. But i finde Stelle more interessting. I will only play with one Charackter.

[@RedZoneRogue]

Hm...I think either would be good for that honestly! Stella is more well-rounded so she can do more things better than Nathaniel who is mostly great at killing stuff

[@teacherliw]

Hi, do I still need 2 core games to support 3 players if I have these starter decks?

[@jessyjkn]

Buy the revised core

[@shanedoe3462]

Where did you get the postcard art shown at the end?

[@RedZoneRogue]

I mention it in the video before I show them off - they were preorder bonuses when I bought directly from Asmodee/Fantasy Flight Games :)

[@rockylosco5596]

I see people talking about this three years ago so how is this new?

[@RedZoneRogue]

The investigator starter decks were only announced in March 2020 and officially launched a month or so ago haha www.fantasyflightgames.com/en/news/2020/3/24/your-investigation-begins/ Arkham Horror the card game itself has been out for a few years though :)

[@rockylosco5596]

I never played the bpard game

[@saigecraft384]

Great review but please look at the camera! :)

[@dazamad]

These decks are impossible to locate. Its only 5 months ago. Disappointing from FFG

[@RedZoneRogue]

I agree 1000% - a lot of their Arkham LCG is so hard to find right now :(

[@spockjenkins365]

i was hopin for your next video you could get a little closer to the camera!? i cant quite see up your nose into your brain and its very distracting.....

[@RedZoneRogue]

Yeah I can totally work in that, the room is small and the space is limited but I think I can get the tripod closer - or at least zoom the lens in

[@spockjenkins365]

Aces!
