Runebound - Unbreakable Bonds "Fierce Beginnings": Part 1

[@darrensmith8487]

I just discovered your channel and I wanted to say that I'm loving it. Your excitement in the playthroughs is infectious.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks so much for the nice comment Darren, and glad you are enjoying the channel!!

[@shaneannigans]

I'm so glad you're doing such a great playthrough!! I already have this, but I like watching play-throughs first to help me learn. So thank you again for doing this and explaining what you're doing as you go-you're helping not just those that are thinking about getting this game, but those who struggle to learn from text :)

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Awesome to hear Shane! This sis what I plan to do, so glad it is working!! :)

[@kennethbaggerlarsen401]

Great video, couldn’t stop watching

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks for watching!! Great game!

[@BLDTHEGAMER]

Your playthroughs are excellent. I love your enthusiasm and how you explain games. Keep up the good work.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks so much, appreciate the nice comment!

[@garicb9271]

Amazing that such a good template existed for board game playthroughs all this time, and yet so many other youtubers insist on using a wide shot of them at the table where you cant even see what's happening on the board. Nuts.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Haha! Yeah the type of playthroughs we do take a lot more time with reposition of cameras etc. So I can understand why for many people it's not worth it! But I always prefer watching a playthrough where I can see what's happening!

[@emerymarks7139]

I recently acquired Runebound and thought it would be neat as a solo or coop game, then heard of this expansion. I seen on Amazon is was going for close to $180, eek! I went with a buddy of mine to his local game store today and found it for $32! Instant buy! I played my first solo game and got wrecked, but had a lot of fun in the process. Great video and gameplay. Gets me in the mood to give this game another go tomorrow!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Glad you found it at an affordable price. Enjoy!

[@StevenKingsley]

I agree with you, I really love the simplicity and "flavor win" of the new envelope mechanic. The AI boards for the enemies were a nice addition. I can't wait for the rest of this playthrough. Thanks for posting!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thank you, Steven!! I need to make sure to mention how you are helping me with rules!! Thanks so much for watching!

[@StevenKingsley]

Nah no worries man. Just happy to help in anyway I can.

[@jasonburt8043]

Nice cliffhanger. I think Tattiana is going to wreck those spiders. That extra token will make a big difference!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Let's hope so Jason! Thanks for watching!!

[@ergovoks5200]

12:20. Rule source about using surges from the bottom of the card up?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Not sure I think it is in the rulebook for the Unbreakable Bonds!

[@darinlagarry3091]

This expansion completely changed the game for me, shooting it from an 8/10 to 10/10.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I could not agree more!! :) LOVE what this expansion does to the game!

[@JoelC724]

You should have glued on the stickers, I used Elmer's School Glue "Gel" looks like a light blue liquid it came out great.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

BUMMER! That is a great idea and I did not do it. . Probs still could right? I might do that if it falls off again. Thanks!

[@JoelC724]

+One Stop Co-op Shop sure you can, you can still take the stickers off, FFG used bad adhesive which is a shame.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Awesome, thanks for the tip Jason!

[@crapoleon]

Thanks Colin

[@OneStopCoopShop]

My pleasure!

[@progmanrob]

Sounds like Dee Snider is teaching me this game.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I'll take that as a compliment! :) Thanks for watching great game!

[@nagredmoonstriker252]

20:15 Next to a web and rolling terrain dice, so can't move without rolling a wild, right?

[@gabrielmnt4119]

Oh man, I was really waiting for this! Hope you re-upload it!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yup! I had Steven review for rules and I made one error in editing he pointed out so fixed it and it is good to go! Thanks for watching!

[@Hybban]

I want this game. With the expansion too !

[@Hybban]

So not only I can't have 1h episodes, but you leave me hanging with that horrible cliffhanger !!!!! Unsub !!! :P

[@OneStopCoopShop]

HAHAHAHA! Well just trying to get your blood flowing Franck! :) Rest assured you will get your Runebound fix tomorrow! hahaha! I know that was kind of mean of me. . .

[@Hybban]

You big meanie !!!

[@greggcarter5254]

Great playthrough. Thanks for posting it! At 1:40 I thought Tatianna could make that move by only having to roll a Forest die. Isn't the first move along a road, which can be performed by rolling any die?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Hi Gregg, thanks for watching! Based on what I see I used the first die (which could have been anything) to move once on the road, and then the second die was a forest die. I believe that is correct do you not agree?

[@greggcarter5254]

I agree. The coincidence of the first die matching the terrain threw me (assumed you meant that it had to match). Keep up the great work!

[@SoloClub123]

10:10 So I'm wondering if this means to give 1 damage to the enemy and not yourself. I would think if they wanted to you have the damage then it would say "take 1 damage" not deal 1 damage. Same for the Mystic, if you save surges then maybe they can be used to dealing damage to Mystic creatures.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Ohhh good point. Although I think that makes the enemies too easy. I am pretty sure that the "deal 1 damage" should be to the hero as they are "savage" enemies and hit you right away. With the Mystic enemies I see them having a simple 1 surge power that let's them deal 1 damage if nothing else as they are mystical. Maybe someone smarter than me can tell us which is right!! Thanks for commenting!

[@SoloClub123]

Yeah, I think you are right. Looking at the enemy cards now they are written in the same way with "you" referencing the actual enemy and "your foe" being the player. It's easy when you have multiple people controlling the players and enemies, but in solo you are the only person in the room.

[@darrenbelcher6121]

at 17:40, the card purchased just says 'you may spend a combat trophy' - it doesn't say it costs an action? Can you do it any time at no action cost? I know some specifically say "Spend 1 action to ...."

[@darrenbelcher6121]

Confirmed on bgg. You don’t need to use an action if the card just says ‘Spend a trophy’

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Perfect thank you for the clarification Darren I will make a note!

[@GrayBoardGamer]

I will have to look into this one, I'm a sucker for a fun fantasy game. Also, I like the token drop/flip in place of dice.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Another one I could send you to try!! Let me know!! 😎

[@sylvaindelage5742]

Love the playthrough, not sure if I like the game or not. I will have to watch they others video to make my mind ;)

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Totally get it Sylvain. And not every game is for everyone. Hope the vid helps make a decision!

[@AlmightyCow1]

I could be wrong, but during combat when you spend a token, don't you have to spend ALL the tokens of the same type at the same time? I didn't think Tatianna could spend one melee token to negate the Fly effect, then use another to actually do some damage. I thought she'd have to spend them all and have them all negated. Great playthrough so far, thanks!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Ah Fo-ey I would have to look, been to long since I played this one! You could be right! Do you have the Klingon Subtitles on? I may have made a note there. I will see if I can check the rules tonight and let you know. but I recall, you have it right! Thanks as always for watching!!

[@AlmightyCow1]

I've liked your recent videos, so I've been going through your backlog and checking other games out. Been avoiding rules questions because these are so old, lol. But Runebound's combat can be so brutal, I just wanted to see if I'm playing right 😊

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks! I will see what I can find tonight, but I am pretty sure you are correct. Gosh I miss playing this one, I want to pull it out again!

[@jamesreed3565]

You don't need to spend all damage tokens at the same time. Rules Reference entries to Enemy Damage, Magic Damage, and Physical Damage confirm this :-)

[@TheJamesMReid]

Looks awesome!

[@pietropesce5355]

I love it.. but i cant find it ....

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It is sadly out of print now. Sorry!

[@pietropesce5355]

[@davidko9289]

Hopefully rolling the chips doesn't wear them down? That's the only downside I can see a to a clever twist on dice rolling for combat.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yeah a lot of people actually get chip protectors!! Wowsers! If you watch jPlay's playthrough you can see how they work. I am just too cheap :) But I really do like the token chucking mechanic!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Ahh THAT is what it was! Well they sure made a nice clunk sound when he threw them down the dice tower! Love it!

[@mikehill9806]

Agreed, horrible dice. They should have been wooden with embossed symbols. I'm surprised FFG haven't tried to sell us a set of "deluxe" dice.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I know I mean, c'mon! Give us some acrylic dice for this game!

[@Syrilian]

Good playthrough. I have to say after watching this though, I don't really see how the tokens are better than using dice. And dice are more durable, I think.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Totally get that Matt, I think it is just the novelty of the tokens and how you can manipulate them. But overall, the difference is not significant, yet I still do really enjoy the token combat. Thanks for watching!

[@wenchwoggYT]

This looks fun, but I can't find that expansion online. Guess I'll be skipping Runebound :(

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Oh bummer. .. sorry about that!

[@Conny-tk8md]

I want this expansion so bad, but the current (2019) price tags are just too high.

[@GrimlyImmortal]

nice video, can somebody answer, how we play skulls. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qnbHhXR5mampe6s should we play all 3 skulls +1 from warrior board or enemy can play skulls separately, and should we +1 for each token (6 in sum)?

[@gilespound3793]

Hi there...had to link your great playthrough to another article I wrote on BSoMT...this time on the solo expansion of Runebound bothsidesofmytable.com/7-of-sticky-spider-webs-and-dreaded-champion-undeads/ Hope thatKs ok?!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

AWESOME!! Not a problem at all, thank you for linking!!
