One Game with Three Games Second Period

[@DaveGardnervideos]

it took me a while, but now I'm addicted to this game.

Because of your videos I purchased APBA Hockey. And again, Due to your superb and super professional videos I have learned the nuances of the game. You are terrific! Thank you so much.

I am really liking this game, Dave S.

[@daves1249]

Glad to hear that. It takes some time and persistence to get it going but I think it is worth it in the end.

I play Strat computer hockey. I wish I had the patience to learn and master these board game versions...but I don't. LOL

[@michaelfrazier9537]

My wife just ordered me this for Christmas, LOL. Anyway, it seems more realistic from the standpoint of Faceoffs and possibly more intangibles. I have played only Strat Hockey, but this looks pretty good too. I love your videos, Dave! I can't wait to try it...And if I like the game, I will order the mat that you have listed on Facebook...

[@DaveGardnervideos]

you know the apba hockey really looks to be way more difficult than the other two games. So many number checks. My head is spinning just trying to follow along.

[@daves1249]

Once you get the flow of the game it does get better.

[@michaelfrazier9537]

@@daves1249 Yes, Dave, it does. I watched 3 of our videos. After taking 41 minutes to play a period, I was determined to learn the symbols. Last night, I played a period in 28 minutes. What I like about APBA hockey is the Face-Offs (18 in the 1st period in my game) and the extra events (Puck deflects into the crowd, etc.). I ordered your Jpeg APBA hockey rink from inked gaming. Once you learn the system, I do believe it plays faster. Also, I developed a scorepad with ODAI already calculated, HSF already calculated, Forecheck calculated, and clearing ratings calculated. Great videos.

Nice vid. I might have given an assist to Oshie for the first goal in this period.

[@DaveGardnervideos]

do you roll one die or two dice on a blocked shot check ?

[@Joaquim.Oliveira]

At 34:41 when checking the Save for Holtby , you rolled 36 but didn’t check T Holbty’s card . I do that all the time too when playing APBA soccer .

[@daves1249]

Good catch I completely missed that. I find that happens to me alot with APBA games. I get wrapped up in the action sometimes and take the die roll instead of the chart result. I also picked up at 4:05 on a die roll of 64 for an assist rating check of 32, I credited a shot on goal when it should have been just a completed pass. Sorry bout that!
