Darkest Dungeon: The Board Game | How To Setup

*Patreon:* bit.ly/3yfkGMh | *Facebook Community:* bit.ly/38aY3On | *Discord:* bit.ly/3ylw5KE Rollers! As voted on by my Patreon supporters, we're digging into a Showcase for Darkest Dungeon: The Board Game from Mythic Games. In this video I'll cover the setup of the game and in upcoming videos, a solo playthrough. Hope this helps you get a look at the final game, see it in action and get it to the table when it arrives! *Community Question: Thoughts on the initial stance of our heroes? Let me know in the comments below!* Intro 0:00 Overview 0:50 Initial Setup Steps 2:29 Main Setup Steps 6:07 Conclusion 14:48 Patreon Rolling Solo Producers 16:10 "Ruin has come to our family. In this adaptation of Red Hook’s acclaimed Darkest Dungeon video game, you strive to cleanse a manor and its surroundings of all manner of evil: hordes of the undead, foul beasts and eldritch abominations... And, finally, either at death’s door or at your wit’s end, you will have to uproot evil itself from the darkest dungeon. Darkest Dungeon is a fully cooperative dungeon crawl game in which players take on the role of adventurers. Although brave and determined, adventurers are only human! They are prone to the madness and pain the twisted dwellers of the dungeons will inflict upon them. Death can occur, but is not the worst fate: heroes can be driven mad and beyond help! The game is played in campaigns of 11 missions. To reach the Darkest Dungeon itself, players will undertake 3 missions per threat level and vanquish the boss. Then, they will be strong enough and face the horrors of the Darkest Dungeon! They may emerge victorious... if they dispatch the source of evil that plagues the land. For each hero, select 3 skills out of 7 before heading into your mission (and level the heroes up to gain access to more skills). In each room, pick the most suitable stance to best resolve the conflict! Then, on each turn, a player chooses two of the available actions of moving, interacting with the environment, changing their stance or using a skill (if eligible for their current stance). Triumph over encounters, resist rampant madness and emerge victorious before throwing yourself into another battle. Between missions, spend your time in the hamlet, visiting various buildings to find relief from the physical and mental trauma you’ve just endured. Restore the hamlet to its former glory and it will reward you and help you to fulfill the ultimate goal." *Media Inquiries: rollingsologamer@**gmail.com* *Want to support the channel?

Blows me away that you get all these games to the table and recorded. Much respect and thank you.

[@RollingSolo]

Hey Kyle! Its not easy and it consumes a lot of time but I love what I do and the hobby. 👏🏼😄

[@MrBlef666]

Was waiting for this one. Fantastic to see it on the table (Im just unpacking my delivery as well and going through the rulebook). Good job mate, as always.

[@RollingSolo]

Awesome! Great to hear you got it. Now ruin has come to your free time!

[@sebastiang.5032]

Suuuuuper looking forward to the gameplay video!

[@RollingSolo]

Me too! 😉 Been looking forward to this.

[@Frohmanski]

Very hyped to receive my copy, so much so I've been painting DD fan art just to keep the hype train running. Great setup breakdown, looking forward the playthrough!

[@RollingSolo]

Thanks Josh! Hope this series helps you get it played faster. 👏🏼

[@stinkingooze]

The way you set up the cards is magnificently visually pleasing and simple to understand. Brilliant video! I'll be playing the tutorial before the my first quest, solo of course for the time being. Keep up the marvelous videos.

[@stinkingooze]

P. S awesome gaming tabletop!

[@RollingSolo]

Hey Stephen! Thanks my friend. 😁 That’s a good idea. Best of luck on your journeys in this one. It’s fun and very very dark!

[@s.spikoski5120]

Nice! Been waiting for this one. For all the heat Mythic has been getting lately, I can't deny that their games are always a treat to behold.

[@RollingSolo]

Solomon Kane was an absolute gem. Been looking forward to this one too!

[@christopherm824]

Been excited for this one! Kept an eye on it, will be busy now but saving this for later!

[@RollingSolo]

Hey Chris! Nice! Hope this series helps and is entertaining for you. ;D

[@nifarious]

Super looking forward to the playthrough !

[@RollingSolo]

Excellent to hear! 🔥

[@teejay818]

Thank you so much for these videos!

[@RollingSolo]

You’re welcome! Thanks for checking them out. See you around 👏🏼

[@Nameless_Adventurer]

Been looking forward to this one!

[@RollingSolo]

Should be a lot of fun attempting to survive! ;D

[@Nameless_Adventurer]

And the fanatic! Good luck! That would have probably been my choice of bosses to see. Should be fun!

[@RollingSolo]

😄👍🏼

[@williammyles]

Great exploration for this game keep up the good work thank you 😊

[@RollingSolo]

Will do! 👏🏼

[@CanjeStudios]

One of my favorite IPs, great setup Adam!

[@RollingSolo]

It’s a fav of mine as well. Love it!

[@adityam7866]

Excited for when you upload the play through!

[@RollingSolo]

See you in the next one my friend!

[@RollingSolo]

Do you have this one coming to you?

[@adityam7866]

Yes indeed! Super hyped I’m checking the Mythic discord daily

[@gabrielmnt4119]

I didn't even knew you got a copy but I'm glad to see this while waiting for my copy to arive!

[@RollingSolo]

Surprise! Hoping to make the wait easier and get you prepared for yours when it lands. See you in the next one Gabriel!

[@gabrielmnt4119]

@@RollingSolo hardly wait! :D

[@AlwayzFresh]

Brilliant, cheers!

[@RollingSolo]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Nenvolk]

Thanks, this really makes me hunger for the game to arrive :D Small note: It's a little annoying that "Runes" and "Rooms" almost sound the same :P

[@RollingSolo]

100% 😂 I had to make sure to try and pronounce them properly while talking to not confuse. Rune is only used as a type of component or set so not that big of a deal overall.

[@Nenvolk]

@@RollingSolo At first I thought you said there was a Runes Deck though ;-)

[@RollingSolo]

@@Nenvolk 🤣

[@davidreiser9663]

This will be an interesting learning curve of a game 😂

[@RollingSolo]

Hey David! It’s more involved looking than it is in person. Once you play a part of a dungeon you’ll get the flow down easily.

[@raffaelbaumkaenguruh2654]

A question: if you have 2 players, are there only two heroes in the party, or does each player control two heroes?

[@RollingSolo]

You need a party of four. So each controls two.

[@raffaelbaumkaenguruh2654]

@@RollingSolo nice, i was worried for a second!

[@Fledermausification]

What is it like trying to get everything back into the box? Would also like to see how sleeved cards can fit back in the box since Mythic don't seem to care about showing us that =/

[@RollingSolo]

Maybe I’ll do a reboxing of the game. 🙃

[@iphatbass]

Will this game be available for nonbackers too? Man i'm so jealous!

[@Nameless_Adventurer]

Overstock copies will be available on Mythic Games' webstore after backers have received their copies. For past projects, they have opened up preorders about the time the games start delivering.

[@RollingSolo]

It's common to see more opputunities to get the game after backers get theirs from Mythic. Solomon Kane being a great example.

[@qqwadddamage367]

Thanks for the upload, I gave it a "like". Small suggestion, you seem to be in a hurry...please consider slowing down your rate of speech. Would be more helpful for newbs like me.

[@RollingSolo]

Thanks for watching! Don’t forget that there are in video controls for speed which can either slow down or speed up the video. See you around 😄

[@kraziel]

This looks very convoluted...

[@MuchachoC]

convoluted would be a cumpliment to this game 🤣🤣

[@RollingSolo]

Thanks for checking out the video. More to come to show you the flow!

[@1AngelAlita]

Plague Doctor, Jester, Hellion and Vestal... how predictable.. ;)

[@RollingSolo]

Hey Angel! These were all voted on by my patrons on Patreon. So I have zero control 😜

[@1AngelAlita]

@@RollingSolo Yes, I meant that people's votes were predictable... ;) Anyway, I wonder how the game would play without Vestal as a dedicated healer...

[@TCViper8618]

Why does the trinkets deck have a picture of Jack Sparrow on them? /s

[@RollingSolo]

He sells a mega pint if you need it. 😜

[@carlwalmsley4370]

The set-up seems a real chore. Just received my Kickstarter, but this has made me groan at the prospect of readying my first game.

[@RollingSolo]

You’ll be surprised once you get into it! Enjoy 😄

[@PGCole]

You sadistic little devil... 😜

[@RollingSolo]

🤣😂🤣

[@Ahkaras1985]

And the first thing i see, is a grammar failure at 9:54 ---> "colected" :D bad play Mythic, bad play ... i hope the german version will be better ^^ (sorry, if my english is bad)

[@RollingSolo]

Good eye there. As with most big campaign games, small update packs for any revisions will be likely be avaliable. Solomon Kane did well around this too. Cheers!

[@SarimRune]

I need to get my hearing checked. You kept saying rooms and all I could hear was loons. I was soooo confused for half the vid.

[@RollingSolo]

hahaha 🤣

[@RollingSolo]

Might need to pronounce it much more aggressively. Lol

[@MuchachoC]

I only watched the setup and I'm already rolling my eyes. This game seems unbereably clunky and convoluted. This makes Gloomhaven look like the most streamlined board game ever made. This is just cold, hard programming. Someone just translated the code from the computer game to cardboard. Whoever designed this doesn't have a clue about what a board game should be 🤢 also, asking ransom from backers. Wtf were you thinking, Mythic Games?

[@RollingSolo]

Thanks for watching and sharing your opinion. Do you have the game coming to you?
