Tiny Epic Dungeons | Playthrough | With Colin

Thank you for the first detailed how to video! I got this game over a week ago and couldn’t make sense on how to play correctly. Very clear and easy to understand. You rock!

[@bradleycox6339]

After learning the rules for a little bit, regarding the Shooty Goblin, it would attack all heroes within 2 squares. I believe this was intentional. It's the simplest option since the game had 4 range indicators: - Same room - Line of Sight - Any path - All heroes/enemies Giving Shooty Goblin: - 'same room' doesn't work since we are discussing ranged weapons. - 'LoS' means the target cannot be in the same room. This makes it difficult to rule since goblins automatically attempt to move in the same room as a hero. If the Shoot Goblin moves in the same room as the hero, it technically cannot hit the hero. - 'any path' works but only hits one hero. And to have an NPC 'select' a hero would require additional rules to choose a hero. - 'all heroes' is the best since it hits all heroes within range making the NPC ruling much easier. For simplicity, 'all heroes' makes the most sense. And besides, this is a fantasy game. Whose to say the crossbow isn't magical with a homing spell? Or the goblin is so skilled, he can deflect the shots off object to hit its targets Robin Hood style. Just because he's a one-hit goblin doesn't mean he can't be skilled =) Same ruling applies for the Boomy Goblin.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks!

[@xradio19x]

The two-player default time track is way too difficult. A lot of playthroughs become hypothetical runs because of the difficulty. I found by starting at the 3p or 4p position makes it more enjoyable. Also start with a piece of equipment or a spell for more of an introductory game, which is still hard.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Great idea! Simple house rules like that are awesome. Thanks for watching!!

[@Spyryt193]

I read this on BGG and now I’m starting on the 4p mark when playing 2p as well.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Ohh nice!!!

[@Jackthetattedone]

We just played this 2 player and starting on the 3 player track made it much more enjoyable.

I do both of those as house rules plus ad you can trade one gear for the cost of one movement on the same space. Great comment! Love this game

[@realtidydesign]

Looks and sounds vrey complicated. Does not look like a pick up and play kind of game. The testing on that to the ballancing correct must have been a nightmare. Too much number crunching for me, as a dislexic and dyscalculia sufferer my brain has melted already watching the demo.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I’m a couple years late, but I just picked this game up, played a couple times, and just felt like I was getting the rules right. This video fixed that right up! Thank you so much! And thanks for linking the appendix! Could not find it online anywhere.

[@aaronstark5060]

Just a suggestion; when you play without Stories, don't include the Stories items in the loot deck because it dilutes it and makes it really hard to get sets. If you are playing the 3 floor variant from Stories, you have ample opportunity to get more loot, but with just the one floor dungeon and 12 extra loot cards, it's a real hard time.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Such a great point!! Thanks for that!!

[@JustinSmith1287]

Wait, how do you tell which loots are from stories?

I thought your heroic action stopped movement? I may be incorrect

[@OneStopCoopShop]

From how I understand it if you start movement then do a heroic action it stops movement!

[@captainclutch8463]

did you misinterpret rules or did you add home rules to it cause when you spend 2 lightning to change the die it can only go up or down one rotation from it facing upright... not find what you want to use as the face die..

[@Fr33dom35]

In one move you cast 2 spells (invisibility and claw of darkness) basically using 2 heroic actions per move. Is that permitted? Cheers! (around min 35)

You did this the right way too. Explained it AS you played it. The other ones I watched before stumbling onto yours fire hosed the rules and intricacies at you and then finally got down to it. Not helpful. There's just too much. Good work here!

[@ishinken]

26:20 Stabby doesn't hurt "all heroes in the same room" does he, it just says "same room", and that has no area of effect or multiple target icon anywhere

[@lonstar7675]

Hi Colin, I have a question. The heroic action ends your move, is it right? But if you do first your heroic action before you start moving, can you still move after the heroic action is done, or not?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

From how I read the rules and I could be wrong the heroic action and movement can be in either order. However if you start moving and then do a heroic action it ends your move. That's how I treat it at least!

[@lonstar7675]

@@OneStopCoopShop Yeah, sounds clear. THX

[@BlakeAustin2011]

Have you found anything about the movement question you posed regarding the invisibility spell? Personally I would consider the heroic action granting you movement, but that movement was not initiated by a move action. Therefore, I would interpret you would have your movement action in addition to invisibility. Think of it from the opposite perspective. If you move 3 spaces, you still have a heroic action. The spell grants you movement up to your movement speed, and thus is not a move action. This of course is superseded if the brown boot symbol is explicitly stated in the instructions as to always represent the move action itself. Then I would agree with your interpretation.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yeah I don't know yet I've asked on bgg we will find out! As I agree it could go either way.... if I could have run out of there that would of been nice!!

[@patleaf2432]

The rulebook says the icon means move your movement. So you cast as a HA, move with normal rules regarding speed + invis, + you get to do 1 more heroic action.

[@timmywyj]

I thought for skill checks - you actually can meet or exceed the number. Was wondering why do you keep spending charge to get the exact number ? 😅

[@nicodemusdarkspire6588]

Thanks for these videos, I've learnt Mage Knight from watching you play and am checking my interpretation with this one. Quick tip, you can move the torch down one space at the start and reveal four rooms, check the torch mat, SW corner.

[@adamjc9167]

Nice playthrough and explanation. I think you were activating the enemy activations incorrectly. When yo move the marker on an enemy activation and you used your torch to reveal a new room which contained a goblin you activated them. I think they skip that activations since the torch tracker already was moved onto the enemy activation.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Nope I did that right its specifically stated in the appendix the enemy can activate! Bummer huh!

[@adamjc9167]

@@OneStopCoopShop thanks for the clarification. I just got the game a couple days ago, I find that a good strategy is to use the free action on the time track to reveal all adjacent rooms on the starting tile. I find that it saves some actions since it gives you a good layout of the initial map.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yeah good thinking!!

Got my copy and I'm having a blast. I wish the dungeon tiles were thicker but I understand box space was limited.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I'm so with you on that though!!

[@j3errym]

Surely when creating the B deck you should have 8 cards 2 encounters and 6 dungeons , shuffle split and then add the potion room card. Only playing with full Story mode may just use base if with less experienced gamers) and it is a blast and agree the latest Card Appendix, updated very recently 18th Feb 2022. Great game tons more fun than TEP and oozes theme and narrative if you take the time to let it flow.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Totally agree thanks for watching!!

[@pietjehans206]

Great video! Question: at 16:07 & 26:30 you activate the goblin. But the trigger of the torch was already resolved in my opnion (first you moved the torch, then you revealed the tile). So I don't think the goblin should be activated. Is this correct?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

From how I understand it you so need to activate those goblins!

[@diamondsmasher]

I would recommend reading the FAQ. They mention that activation is the “fee” that you complete, and then you gain the benefit of revealing the room. Enemies don’t attack on reveal, they only damage you if you move into the room to reveal it, regardless of what the Time Track says.

[@meyjor]

Any ruling on whether shooty goblin can attack without line of sight? The only forum posts on BGG that I saw said yes, that enemies with range attack do not require line of sight.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Huh that seems to me not to make thematic sense! So I'll probably house rule that then!

[@therupoe]

Unless it has the "any path" icon is just normal line of sight and the enemy must be able to see you in a straight line. (Edit: weirdly... this is wrong. The icon on the card is the white diamond with three helmets indicating all heroes within range. According to dized, the people who made the tutorial, they can attack around corners. Which I hate... makes no sense. That rule isn't clearly defined in the rulebook) Another thing I noticed in the video: once you take an heroic action your movement for the turn ends. (Edit: this is kinda wrong too... heroic actions end your CURRENT movement. So you could perform a heroic action and then move.) Oh, and Goblins deal total goblins + 1 damage. So if there are two goblins they deal 3 damage. 4 goblins and they would deal 5. (Pg 15) (edit: also kinda wrong... it depends on the enemy and if they're attacking or counter attacking) This game is confusing and the rules should've been MUCH clearer.

[@GatsbyCioffi]

First attempt I foolishly split my 2 heroes, and they both ran into minions on consecutive turns and both got KOd, haha. Adventure is better together!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

HAHAHA yes taking out one minion at a time is essential! Hope your next run doesn't go so brutally!

[@SDgooo]

11:08 i dont think we can do that during trap test, creator in comments on bgg says you cant make free action during skill test, only exeptions are 1) The ability to Modify a Hero Die by 1 2) Triggered abilities So you must declare intoxication before entering new rooms, without knowing if it will be needed, that buff stays until next test after you drink, you cant use it during already started test, is that right?? Im little confused by this

[@hassanlopez4621]

Awesome job, as always, Colin. After having played a few times now, I'm starting to think the Everlit Torch has some serious downsides... I'm wondering whether its ability is optional, as there are plenty of times when you'd rather not reveal a new tile.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Ohh great point! You know, I think as a free action you can drop it at any time. . probably should have done that!

[@anthonyhobday]

At around 15:00 you reveal a room that has a goblin encounter. But I don't think you needed to add the goblin to the board. The rule book says "Certain rooms have icons that represent encounters or traps that must be resolved immediately when a hero first enters it", which includes the goblin encounter. I assume if you reveal the room but do not enter it with a hero, the encounter does not trigger. So you were unkind to yourself, unless I've misunderstood the rules.

[@anthonyhobday]

Update: I can see later in the rule book that it says if you use the torch mat action to reveal all adjacent rooms, goblins and minions are added to their rooms regardless of whether you step into them. So it looks like I was wrong, but those two rules feel contradictory.

[@tburns5943]

[@MerlinsManor]

This game took so much time last night for me to wrap my mind around. I should have just come here first. Rulebook could definitely been better on so many levels. Did you ever confirm that you could not move again with using the invisibility card? I thought I saw people saying on the BGG forum that it was a separate move action (but I could be wrong I read so much stuff last night after my first game and having so many questions). Also, I kind of wonder why you set up getting the spell on one turn, second guessed that, and then third guessed it and did it anyway. You could have moved a little more and explored more if you had just gotten the spell first and then moved. Great playthrough and explanation on how to play!!!

You can't use Zui Xiong's Intoxication ability during trap's skill check at 11:05. The only free action that can be performed in the middle of an action is paying 2 focus to increase or decrease the value of a hero die during a roll. In order to benefit from the Intoxication buff for the trap's skill check, you would have had to perform the free action before exploring the room. At 29:15, you don't have to discard the axe to hit the goblin in your room. Instead, you can change loot from one hand to another as a free action to free the ability your loot covers in order to attack with the Spiked Tankard.

The Panda guy can really do Drunken Master style kung fu. question though... is this like a more complicated version of the old DungeonQuest?

13:37 After seeing your skill check results, would you have been able to use the free action of Hair of the Dog to spend 2 focus to heal 1 HP, then raise your focus to max, then done Hair of the Dog again? That way you'd end up with 1 extra HP.

Should the fire tile have been turned 90° to the right? The tunnels don't match on the left... GREAT playthrough anyway, many many thanks

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Oh oops! Thanks for that!!

[@andymilan2]

@@OneStopCoopShop I must apologise... my copy arrived yesterday and nowhere does it say that all the paths must match up, they just have to connect to where you came from... while true that it is dangerous not to (maybe you won't get connected to the boss entrance) it is completely legal so by all means delete my post or leave this comment just in case it misleads someone!

Seems a lot of people are struggling with the lack of time you get. Hopefully it’s not an actual issue and people just need to figure out how to make use of the time better.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I think it is getting a good strategy on how to mitigate those gosh Darn goblins. The problem is once they start to pile up they can one shot heroes pretty easily during activation and then you go in this downward spiral. Thanks so much for watching!

[@kieran1505]

@@OneStopCoopShop yeah I’ve been reading stuff on BGG about it all. Sounds like you need to take the goblins out the minute they pop up but it sounds like that just means you get less time to do other things. Love the difficulty being hard just hope it’s not too bad

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Totally agree

[@randomnev]

I think players are meant to use the information about the the dungeon deck built in the setup phase more strategically. Players should probably keep count of how many cards have been drawn already and based on that derive some information about the whereabouts of the minions & even skip certain tiles/paths based on this info. Makes the game a little more thinky but should help with the torch track.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Maybe? But that's is asking a lot when they rando come out. I actually think the charm is the challenge in this one!

[@nicholascamburako7326]

Great playthrough! I've watched some of your other videos and they've been a great help. I've had a difficult time in this game with just 2 characters as well. I played five solo games with 2 characters and never once made it to Act 2. I finally house ruled the 6th game, and made it to Act 2. Beating the boss seemed way to easy (but, I did have 2 sets of gear that really helped with that). I did notice a couple of errors (easily correctible with the Klingon subtitles)... I hope you understand I'm not trying to be critical, just trying to help find the errors (and ask questions as you go). - At time 6:26, you state Zui Xiong has 7 focus, but he actually has 6. - At time 11:06, the ability Zui Xiong is using is "Intoxication", not "Interrogation" (lol). - At time 13:42, you should have used "Hair o' the Dog" ability twice, bringing focus from 4 to 0, then gaining 6 focus from the two +2 dice (not an error, just a better way to play the turn). - At time 14:50, you activate enemies and reveal an unexplored dungeon tile... you may want to add a note that this was actually done with the "Everlit Torch" (for 10 minutes, until you mentioned it at time 25:51, I thought this was an error). - At time 17:35, you state you have Pokey Goblin in range "3"... he's actually range "1" (and would only need to be in range 2 for the spell). - At time 19:24, you state the Pokey Goblin would have dealt 5 points of damage had he not been killed... Actually, he would have had a counter-attack value of 5, but since Aetoris had a defence value of 5, you actually would have taken no damage anyway. Counter-Attacks always compare to your defense value, unless a SHIELD MATCH symbol is rolled. In this case, had the Pokey Goblin not been killed, it would have dealt only 1 damage. - At time 20:30, the bonus for additional set "Of the Bear" cards (2 or more) is actually a modifier to his Melee Attacks only of +1, +2, or +3. Unfortunately, this wont help when attacking with the "Throwing Axes of the Bear" card, since it uses ranged attacks. - At time 32:18, you can, when casting spell, immediately gain focus, which can also be used to pay the cost of the spell... in this case, you should have gone from 6 to 7 on your focus track, and used the remaining 2 focus to activate the "Invisibility" spell. - At time 34:35, you are correct. The "Invisibility" spell doesn't make you move, it just cloaks your normal movement... so, even though you can take another Heroic Action, you cannot move again this turn. - At time 41:24, you are correct. The Shooty Goblin does not have line of sight so it cannot attack this turn. - At time 42:25, as you stated earlier, traps are not stopped by the "Invisibility" spell. One HOUSE RULE to help this case is simply if you get 3 "+" symbols, you may reroll 1 dice (and hope to get something better then a "+1" or "+2"). This would help to offset really bad dice rolls, which can completely change the course of the game. - At time 45:40, when the goblins and minions took their turn and moved/attacked, dealing damage, couldn't you have used the "Hair o' the Dog" ability to gain a health (since at time 44:00, you said you had 3 focus)? Your Zui Xiong would still be at 1 health, with it being his turn. Also, since Zui Xiong does have the ability "Hair o' the Dog", if he rests, not only does he get +5 health and +8 focus when resting (because of the "Bedrolls" equipment), but he can convert that focus to additional health as a free action, essentially restoring all health. This will also restore Aetoris health to 2, allowing him to attack and kill the Shooty Goblin. This was all very doable! Again, as I stated in the beginning, this was an incredible playthrough! I have no doubt that if you gained the missed focus (from the "Everlit Torch" equipment card), this is focus you could have easily made into health, allowing you to get to Act 2. I would have loved to see you get there and take on the boss... otherwise, this was really fun to watch! Thank you much!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks for all of this Nicholas appreciate it!! I certainly did not make the most tactical choices but when you are on camera with a new game that happens. Appreciate the help!

[@MrJACKROM]

Hello. At 41:24 (see rules p11), no line of sight needed ;)

[@felipeleivacruz6097]

At 14:50, why the goblin attack? Because it apears because of the Everlit torch after the activation.

[@Jackthetattedone]

We just played this 2 player and starting on the 3 player track made it much more enjoyable.

[@diamondsmasher]

@@felipeleivacruz6097 100% agree. The FAQ on the game stipulates enemy activation is the “fee” for the benefit (of revealing a tile), so when the torch went down, no one would be around to activate, and the goblin would only get revealed.

[@dlz3140]

23:20 so unfortunate! 1/216 chance to miss that skill check :)

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Haha

[@Orloft]

I think it would balance things a bit if the goblins/minions didn't activate on the same turn they come out.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Good idea!!

[@diamondsmasher]

They don’t activate unless the Torch moves down and lands on the red Activation icon. Just revealing them doesn’t trigger the activation, but you will take damage from the reveal if you have to move into the room.

[@marioforcellati6939]

Great video! One question at the 20:58 you mentioned the Elf did a Heroic Action but did not move yet. I thought once you do a Heroic action your turn is over. Am I wrong on that?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Check page 6 of the rules you can do any of the following actions in any order. I hope that helps and thanks for watching!!

[@marioforcellati6939]

@@OneStopCoopShop Thanks for the reply. I see what your talking about on page 6 but then on page 7 under Move it says "Peforming a Heroic Action will end your movement". I love board game rules discussions lol

[@OneStopCoopShop]

That's IF you don't use all your movement and do a heroic action. So let's say my movement is 4. I do two moves then a heroic action. That ends my movement. But if I start with a heroic action then I still have my entire movement left! Hope that helps!

[@utubeblowsballs1]

Thanks for the playthrough. I was thinking of getting this game but after seeing the playthrough it does not look like something for me. Far too many ways to lose based on luck - bad tile placement, dice roles, gob/monster activation, the boss fight, which looks impossible given how much you struggled with the other minions, and the ticking clock, which seems unnecessary since the dungeon has escalating mobs (goblins).

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I totally get it! Thanks so much for watching!

So I thought this game is really great, but the last 5 times I've played I wasn't even able to see the Boss cause I got run out of time. Am I doing something wrong or this game is really difficult?

Nah the game is just difficult. You need some aoe damage and a bit of luck to survive!

[@kevinbarnard355]

One thing we forgot when playing with 4 characters (managing 2 each) was to retreat the torch after beating a minion. Since that is on the torch card and not the minion, it was over looked once.

Hello, i need a little clarification, if a goblin or minion is already in range of 2 rooms but not in line of sight, heroes take damage anyway during enemy torch activation?
