Fallout: Atomic Bonds | The Capital Wasteland | Playthrough | With Colin

[@itsjustchris5412]

I really appreciate the time you take to explain the rules Colin. And, most importantly, appreciate all of the close up/camera work you do for your play throughs. Not many do that! So thank you. 👍

[@OneStopCoopShop]

My pleasure! Thank you for watching!!

After watching Colin and his superior camera placement i cant watch anyone else's playthroughs/how to plays.

[@lance5472]

OMG so many other reviewers either have irritating voices, terrible accents or they talk a hundred miles an hour (which seriously stresses me). Thank you so much for nailing it, you do everything well

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Appreciate you watching!! This is one of my favorites!!

[@ChimeratAlpha]

47:50 Aww. A wasted Cap. (The original and landing paces were touching, so there was no need for two moves.) Honestly, the most confusing part of this game is EXP. The second most confusion is dealing with enemies when you have a lot on the board. You did made a GREAT point near the start of the video though: It's my own bloody fault for exploring so much and exposing all those spawn points. XD

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Heheheehe! Yes I love this game don't love moving all the enemies!

[@ChimeratAlpha]

@@OneStopCoopShop On the bright side: positively swimming in caps by the end. At least as much as you needed to be. ;)

[@chrisw942]

Fallout with Atomic Bonds is my 2nd favorite boardgame of all time. With the cards from New California Expansion, you get tons of replayability. Fallout has the dice chucking battles which many post-apocalyptic rpgs lack!! Thank you for a fun playthrough!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Such a good game!!

[@kraziel]

What a coincidence! We just played Fallout Atomic Bonds last night with 4 players with some friends, they are not used to board gaming, and they loved it! That was the first time I played Atomic Bonds and it really is leaps and bounds better with it. Great to see this video, altough I'm not going to watch to not spoil me, since we are definately going to play it again :)

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Nice!!! Totally agree the atomic bonds fixed so much of this game!

[@waynesc242]

Yes, liked your show, made me want to get my board of fallout and play it. The one thing I noticed while setting up since you mentioned about plays in the future, how about a play through of the far harbor scenario it kinda looked interesting since there are really no enemies. Thank you for your shows.

[@PublicExecution]

This is such a great game. I totally see how this inspired Arkham Horror 3rd edition. The card library is just like the codex, and then when you add cards, you put it in with the top 2 cards of the respective deck and shuffle those 3 cards (just like you do when adding clue cards in AH).

[@OneStopCoopShop]

100% agree!

[@Premka81]

Hello, nice video, maybe just to mention that it is not only Atomic Bonds but also New California Expansion presented here. Atomic Bonds has no tiles and new quest cards.. Kind regards

[@Nosyaj1941]

Really great video with clear explanations. I bought the base game + Co-Op expansion but the New California addition is really hard to find atm.

[@Muhd_Akmal]

I just played Fallout with Atomic Bonds solo recently and it holds up so well!! I'm so jealous of your painted minis!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

They are really nice!! Love having painted minis! Thanks for watching!!

[@abelsarinana727]

Hey Colin! I know I'm late to the video but awesome job on the play through. I actually watch these like if I was watching a movie or someone playing the video game. Keep them coming and fantastic work!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks so much my friend!! Love these games so much!!

[@rickytan7101]

I’m so happy to see this game getting more exposure. Doesn’t deserve the hate it gets but I understand since without the atomic bonds expansion it’s a weird game when playing competitive. But I do just love fallout immensely haha. Also those “dots” on the die are cogs, or vault entrances 😉. Thanks for the playthrough video!!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

That's awesome thanks for that and the clarification on the dots!!

[@aloharay]

great playthrough, look forward to these from you

[@thefindus89]

Never played it , but still just as happy to have a new Colin video out👏🎉

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Aww thanks so much!! Good to be back! Was in the smoky mountains!

[@BillySpenc]

awesome gameplay colin! you always make it easy to follow and very engaging!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks so much for watching!!!

[@pedros1747]

Great vid. To my understanding, getting 3 upgrades would only complete 1 goal, because the numbers stack. You need six upgrades to flip those 2 goal cards. You could also go back 2 spaces of on the track for the brotherhood for completing a goal. I have the game. I find it a bit too difficult, but fun nevertheless.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks for the info!

[@dayoltay]

Awesome as always. I love listening to Colin

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks so much for watching!!

[@aorakis5795]

Yessss !! More fallout playtrhough ! Great ! Thanks ! :) Love the thème of this game ! Great to see you back on it ! Cheers !

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I'm so with you!! Thanks so much for watching!

[@pencilpauli9442]

Hi Colin, hope you and the family are well and you had a good break! Really enjoyed watching the playthrough thanks, great fun!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks so much!! Good to hear from you Paul!!

[@BeatRag28]

im so happy you like this game it seems as much as me lolol. while to some it may have flaws, this game has as many hours of play from me as any of my games. definitely in my top 2 solo, and favorite adventure game.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I Agree!! It's one I just keep coming back too. Thanks for watching!

[@jefferydraper4019]

Its possible to help with monster/creature/bad guy tracking, to take an appropriate highlighter/map color and color in the background of the portrait of the enemy token making it stand out more at a glance. That small color band across the center just doesnt seem to help that much.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Oh yeah good idea!!

[@commandershepard9920]

Oh my, another one of these! I played a few games of this a month or so ago; I adore this game (with the Atomic Bonds expansion). I still need to play with the expanded map! Also, I ended up going with Gears of War over Fire Team Zero; just too much of a huge of the IP, but I can easily see how they're both great games!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Great choice on Gears of War! Both games are great, and glad you are enjoying Fallout!!

[@loktar00]

GoW is such an amazing game, I definitely prefer it over Fire Team Zero (although the FTZ minis are amazing). The enemies respawning always in FTZ just never sits well with me. Lol honestly just had to comment since GoW is my fav board game and it's a tad rare to see it mentioned.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Interesting! I actually find Gears Of War to be talked about more than FTZ. Personally I love them both for different reasons.

[@Sismanski]

I don't get it. The rules say, that if I attack an adjacent enemy with a ranged weapon, that has no ranged weapon icon, I get an additional automatic hit. Means, the enemy, that has no ranged weapon, still is having a chance to deal damage to me, even though, it is too far away? BGG forum seems to be sure about this, that it is attacking somehow, even though it has no ranged weapon and technically is too far away for a melee hit, right? This somehow feels like a big immersion break, but I assume, the balance otherwise would be broken?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It is weird but it's true otherwise there would be 0 tension in the game once you have a range weapon

[@erichmahnke5806]

Idk if you’re still doing these, but I’d love to see a playthrough of the far harbor or fallout 1 scenarios

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I for sure can!!

[@PublicExecution]

It makes sense how you would request that scenario. I see a lot of discussion about it on BGG.

[@KesSharann]

Why not use colored dice to mark what you've moved already? Or just cubes? It depends on what you have laying around. Move and mark. Scan the board. Do any fights. Remove cubes from enemies you lost to. Remove all cubes once you're done with the enemy turn.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Such an easy solution!

[@glacialimpala]

Regarding levelling, around 17:20 , what you mean to say is if you're supposed to get like 6XP and you only have 2 letters to begin with, you won't be getting more than one letter?

[@LemuelCantos]

This is the game that got me into board gaming!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Sweeet!!

[@PublicExecution]

For me, it was Arkham Horror 2nd Edition!

[@Riggswolfe]

If they ever do a 2nd Edition of this game Atomic Bonds need to be part of the base game. I refuse to play the game anymore without it as it actually makes the game enjoyable.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Wholly agree!

[@aldeventos]

I really enjoy this game 😊

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Me too!

[@yogibbear]

I wonder if the assist die (Atomic Bonds) might've helped with some of those level 3 enemies!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

That would have been smart... haha! Totally forgot about it!

[@aloharay]

So the atom expansion makes the base game scenerios coop, does it modify any of the New California scenerios to be coop as well (that were not already coop)?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It did every scenario can be played solo or coop!

[@Shark20167]

Do you take an additional damage from the bloatfly in round one due to it having ranged?

[@seanytoyguns7698]

Any Chance of you doing the Far Harbor quest? I know a lot of people are confused by it, and a playthrough would help a lot

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I plan to do all of them eventually so yes!

[@seanytoyguns7698]

@@OneStopCoopShop Awesome!

[@KuittheGeek]

Have you seen that someone is working on a Fallout New Vegas fan-made expansion for the game? It looks awesome, and I can't wait to build it up to play with! And leave it to Fallout to even have mod support for the board game. ;)

[@OneStopCoopShop]

That's awesome!!!

[@KuittheGeek]

@@OneStopCoopShop For sure! And the next release is going to include Atomic Bonds style scenarios. You can find the mod over on Board Game Geeks in the game forums.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thank you!!

[@scarfacenight9]

After the activation cards run out and have to be reshuffled. Don’t you have to move the enemies down one bar?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I thought it was only when their symbol showed up on the card but I could be wrong!

[@scarfacenight9]

In the base game it said that both factions would go down one bar. However I don’t know how that changes with the atomic bonds add-on. It isn’t stated anywhere unfortunately

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yeah i agree not clear for sure. If you want a more stressful game maybe you can? That's probably how I would play it

[@yertter]

I think the enemy faction goes down one too if a player-character dies

[@bruceritchie9441]

​@yertter yes this was a mistake. He should have done that when the super mutant died.

[@lotusgambit5150]

Is this include New California expansion? Thanks

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yes I have everything for this game

[@murph-4]

Played this once while ago, didn't finish but loved the experience and had to put off table and not have gotten it back yet! I don't have Vegas expansion but I assume there never was or is any plan for more expansions?!?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yeah pretty sure the game is done sadly! But you have a lot you can enjoy with it!! Have fun!!

[@tookiem7618]

You have to play again with the Atomic Bonds expansion. Improves the game significantly.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Couldn't agree more!

[@guillermoyaroslavlverduzco1551]

You're using not only Atomic bonds but also New California.

[@GeneticResearch]

If i attack an enemy with a ranged weapon from a neighboor zone did i get also damage tough the enemy has no ranged weapon?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yeah, thematic or not ranged weapons don’t change any of the other combat rules

[@GeneticResearch]

@@OneStopCoopShop Ok thanks. I also dont find any other statement to this situation. Otherwise it will be maybe to easy for the players.

[@davidko9289]

I was going to comment on how tricky it is to track which enemies activate on a given turn, but you beat me to it =D. I know they're committed to a consistent color palette, but having more distinctive colors on the outside of the token might help.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I wholly agree! If you miss a few during the game it's not the end of the world. Thanks so much for watching David!!
