Handheld run through is back!!! I really missed them.

[@rahdo]

they've been much harder to do for a while because my camera's battery has developed a memory and won't last more than 4 or 5 minutes, so i have to film with the power cord plugged in, which is surprisingly cumbersome. i've tried twice to order replacement battery, and each time, something's gone wrong. still trying though :)

@ 4:57: It is having ANY 4 shields, not just brown shields.

[@rahdo]

LOL! well that'll make it a bit easier :)

[@PauloRenato23]

noted... thanks

Rahd the Bod is back, and with Merlin ! ... ooh, this is must see geekdom !!

[@goyasolidar]

The apples are a reference to Avalon, the legendary isle where Excalibur was supposedly forged.

[@ExcalibursZone]

You're welcome. And yes. Yes, I am the bomb. :)

[@jean-pierremalisse1723]

At 3'24" it is not the Graal (the chalice), it is Excalibur (the sword). :)

[@rahdo]

like i say at the start of the video, watch with the klingon subtitles turned on :)

[@clumsydad7158]

I have to say there is a lot to like about this game, actually I'd probably be ecstatic about it if there weren't already so many great Feld games. The roll and move is kind of a misnomer b/c it's basically just a form of dice placement. I don't think I'd want to do this more than 2p, seems a bit AP.

+rahdo Poisoned apples are not Sleeping Beauty, but Snow White! :)

[@rahdo]

well, they both napped quite a bit :)

[@traviswood2853]

Audio is quite low

[@rahdo]

yup i had some problems with filming. dog chewed through old mic, and new one didn't work out well :(

[@ariodb]

you have hearing problems...I hear that perfectly

[@tadej.vengust]

When Jen complete 2 point flag mission and didn't take 2 points, but choose a power from her board. Is this expansion module King's favour from KS?

[@rahdo]

yup, that's the one. i was under the impression that retail copies of the game come with king's favor as well, and it was only the 'treasures of the environs' module that was only available through KS (which is why i didn't demo that module).

[@Alan-pn8nu]

The poisoned apple is in Snow White

[@Eisu]

A goof at 11:50 The poison apples are for Snow White, not Sleeping Beauty ^o^

[@rahdo]

disney princesses!!!!!!!!!!! (in my defense, snow white was a bit of sleeping beauty herself)

[@Eisu]

I will give you that, my good man, she did have her "final sleep" near the end...

[@ryanbarber6358]

Hey Rahdo, quick question. Can you acquire more than one of the same type of flag and stack them? I can't find anything in the rules that says you can't. Not limits on shields or flags as far as i can tell. This Q first came up when i decided to stack black flags to defeat traitors instead of getting shields. Doing this with merlin & staff allows you to get two of these at once.

[@rahdo]

yup you can stack multiples of the same flag up as high as you like :)

[@clumsydad7158]

Apple changes the die to any number?!?! Get the hell out Stefan! The building directionality arrows are kind of quirky. I believe that area control thing there is similar to a side board in Delphi. The area control in the various areas around the circle is reminiscent a bit of Aquasphere.

[@mikelludwig]

It's Excalibur not the Grail....

[@mikelludwig]

@ 3:25 is when you mention it first

[@PauloRenato23]

It was already noted... Like Rahdo says at the start of the video, please turn on the Klingon subtitles to see where Richard goofs up… Thanks

[@manuelkong10]

a knight at Arthur's round table....aaaaand we're building? and collecting shields? and kicking Merlin around like he's nothing?? weird gamey game
