I love Watch It Played videos to avoid reading a rule book, but seeing the game in action like this helps me learn a game so much better. Keep up the great work 👍

[@TotallyTabled]

Thanks Donny, I really appreciate your comments. I am a firm believer that the teach while playing approach is the best way to learn a game. My hope is that after seeing my playthrough, understanding the rulebook will be a breeze and the game will be much less intimidating. I'm glad to hear that you feel the same way. Thanks for checking out my channel, Donny!

Getting this for my boys for Christmas, can't wait to play it.

[@TotallyTabled]

I think you will really enjoy it. I've had fun playing with my two sons. Have a merry Christmas!

I just got this game to the table and after getting absolutely wiped by Sabertooth 3 times in a row I felt the need to see someone else playthrough in case I was getting rules wrong. Looks like I got it right and it made me feel better about myself watching you get wiped also. Some good strategy offered here by others that I am going to try to employ for my next go-thru. Even getting to where you can damage him can be brutal with him regenerating (assuming that card or ugh, cards are on the table).

[@TotallyTabled]

Sabretooth is just tough. I've had some success with Wolverine on my team, but not much. Making people feel better about their gaming skills is one of the main services I provide on this channel, so I'm more than happy to help. :) Thanks so much for watching!

[@SHEILDAgent26]

Great quality video. While watching I kept hoping you’d clear the threat at Xavier’s so you could fully heal at end of turn. It’s a great tactic against Sabertooth since heroes without healing cards/specials can benefit.

[@TotallyTabled]

Yep, I was inexperienced when I did that playthrough and really didn't appreciate how to be effective against Sabretooth. I found him very different (still do!) Thanks for your nice comments Tony!

[@bengamingames5002]

Awesome thumnail 😆. Excellent video quality, thanks for making this! We love this game

[@TotallyTabled]

Hey, thanks for kind comment. A bit of a spoiler in the thumbnail, but it accurately expresses how I feel. 😄 I agree with you. Excellent co-op game. Thanks again for watching!

[@bigdoublej74]

Save up 2 missions that have 1 left to complete. Then complete them as fast as possible. This will reduce the time a villain goes every 2 turns vs 3.

[@TotallyTabled]

Yep, that is definitely the right way to do things. I'm so accustomed to trying to complete missions as fast as possible. 😂 Thanks for watching!

[@ravenwolf64]

Great video. Love your pacing. Thanks!

[@TotallyTabled]

Hey, thanks David. Appreciate the comment and sub. I hope you enjoy the channel as we try to grow and expand our board game coverage. Have a great day!

[@typedeaf]

I spent 30 min punching out the tokens, shuffling cards, all the set up and setup rules. My family was like *bored*. We started following the rules for play and IT DOEST EVENT TELL YOU WHAT THE OBJECTIVES ARE before starting the game. So do my move and I am not sure what the actions mean or why I would even want to do them. Its been like 45 min at this point and I say "You know what? Lets try this some other time." And I pack it all back in the box. If I had just watched some video before, we could have played tonight. Looks really simple once you understand what the symbols mean, and what the objectives are. I have Marvel Legendary and its clearly mostly that game with small changes. I think I like Legendary better. Not sure why people prefer this one.

[@mitchellryan515]

That’s been my experience with my only 3 attempts / games. 1 x sabertooth loss and 2 x mystique losses. One loss was so quick, only 6 storyline cards being played before losing senator kelly

[@TotallyTabled]

Glad it isn't just me! Sabertooth is brutal. I haven't played enough to figure him out. Thanks for checking out the vid Mitchell.

[@mitchellryan515]

@@TotallyTabled Sabertooths ability to chain KO hero’s with his BAM can be brutal

[@TotallyTabled]

Yeah, avoiding KO is key. I was able to have success with that using Wolverine (or ProfX, I can't remember right now) and even then barely took down Sabertooth.

[@KennethBigler]

Hey! Great video, what are those awesome containers you use for your tokens?

[@TotallyTabled]

Hi Kenneth! Those containers are available on the Boardgamegeek store. Those are the small size I believe. They have a ton of different colors and they work great. Thanks for watching!

[@branboom3342]

Dont be too hard on yourself, Sabretooth is ruthless

[@TotallyTabled]

Yeah, I was shocked. For some reason I was thinking this was a light family game and then I realize I should be much more careful. Far too late of course. 😃I'm thinking about doing another video with some of the new X-Men stuff, but there is so much I doni't know where to start! It is a fun co-op, though. Thanks Branboom!

[@branboom3342]

@@TotallyTabled I had low expectations but it's quickly become one of my favourite solo/co-op board games. The villains definitely range from easy and family-friendly to difficult and strategic with no real indication of where each villain falls on that spectrum. I think Magneto or Mystique are cool and interesting introductory villains.

[@TotallyTabled]

@@branboom3342 I agree. The more I play it, the more I like it. A bunch of stuff for it came in and I'm a bit overwhelmed by it all at the moment, but that advice is helpful. I will definitely try those villains in order to get back into the groove. Any heroes you recommend or are they fairly mix and match? Thanks!

[@branboom3342]

@@TotallyTabled I think you can throw any heroes together and have a good time but some heroes have better movement/heroic/attack actions than others. That said, some of my favourite heroes are Phoenix, Nightcrawler, Archangel, Silver Surfer and Iceman

[@reinaldogomezlarenas5872]

Sabretooth is very tough, he is a violent beast. Better play against him with characters that régénérate, like Wolverine or Beast. And you did an only big mistake: you completed the first mission too early, and then Sabretooth became under pressure. That's why you lost so quickly.

[@TotallyTabled]

Hey Reinaldo, thanks for checking out my video. You are absolutely correct. I wasn't really thinking and only realized too late that completing missions isn't really a good thing. And I played a game later with Wolverine and did much better, just barely squeaking out a victory -- my only win against Sabretooth if I remember correctly. The difficulty surprised me for sure. Fun game. Thanks again!

[@DkNy2kX]

At abou 12 mins you passed the hunted hero token . But storm was KO after a bam and overflow effects occurred. If you read the special rules literally it means you shouldn't pass the hunted hero token in this case! Am I wrong?

[@mrmeow2297]

bought this a few months ago. to THIS day we haven't beaten juggernaut once.

[@TotallyTabled]

Yeah, I'm with you, Mr. Meow. I find this game strangely difficult. I'm missing some part of the strategy. I really need to play more because I think it is a really fun quick playing game. Thanks for watching!

[@3kurgan]

Can You compare it with Marvel Dagger?

[@storm_blazer-xd983]

Hey mate where do you get your (bit trays) from??

[@TotallyTabled]

Those are from the BGG store here: boardgamegeekstore.com/collections/accessories-1/products/bgg-folding-bit-bowls. You can find out more about all the accessories I use by watching my Top 10 Board Game Accessories video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnbZo5uoi72ee6M. Thanks for watching!

[@CGOLAN]

I have only played original game but shouldn't you keep unused tokens instead of throwing them away? ( around 4:50 )

[@TotallyTabled]

It appears as if Sabretooth killed the civilian rather than the heroes saving it, so it is discarded in that instance. Thanks for watching Ansi!

[@zuhdizaaimuddin7058]

The hero KO’ed miss 1 turn right? If not, what’s the point of being KO?

[@vergelsinio454]

yes, i was also confused why Jean Grey who was KO'ed already made her turn 🤔🤔🤔

[@patroz83]

Thumbs up for losing xD

[@TotallyTabled]

If you like losing, this is the channel for you! Thanks for watching.
