After almost a year, I finally got a copy of this game and am watching this video again to get ready for a session with my kids. I love this channel. It always showcases the best games and allows you to see the mechanics before you dive in too deep into your wallet. Most of my purchase decisions have been based on watching these how to play videos. Keep it up, Rodney! Also, shout out to the rest of the Watch It Played crew for all of their awesome series.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you so much Charlie - its really nice to get thoughtful, supportive feedback like that!

[@dolomite13]

Loved the box top flip at the end.

[@MrUSAFMatt]

I dont always buy a game right away. But this has to be one. looks amazing. Thanks Rodney!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@benstylus]

I want to see an outtakes video where Rodney fails to catch the flipped boxes of various games or catches them the wrong way up. (Unless no outtakes exist because Rodney is THAT GOOD)

[@WatchItPlayed]

Here you go! kzbin.info/www/bejne/b4i7hYGeaMumg5I

[@VictoryConditionGaming]

Really enjoying this game! Pencil First has a hit on their hands! I can’t wait to see more for this one!

[@MsGinahidesout]

I just love your channel! Your explanations are really straightforward and easy to follow.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks so much!

[@natelabine4308]

Played this at Shux 19. Just awesome, and the mutlitple colossus/leaders mean lots of replay ability. 100% going to pick this one up soon.

[@FrankMinogue]

Really imaginative game!!! I can see this being a lot of fun to play, I am going to show this to my wife and see what she thinks. She may just be interested in getting it!

[@Lesspics1151]

I really like this game. I hope they release expansions in the future that would increase the number of players.

[@luker4p172468]

boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/292490/maul-peak You're in luck! This next game can be combined and allow a higher player count.

[@Lesspics1151]

Awesome!

[@AnnaMariaJackson]

There will actually be a Maul Peak preview tomorrow (Dec 5) on the Pencil First Games Facebook Page!

[@GamingwithEdo]

Thanks for the video!!!

[@WatchItPlayed]

A pleasure to do another board game team up!

[@boardgamecloset]

Such a fun game!

[@SableTwoSeven]

Another great video! You've gotten me into Star Wars Legion, Warparty, and now this! I also link your Zombicide videos to anyone who will listen. 🤣

[@WatchItPlayed]

So nice to hear you've been enjoying the videos (and the games) Nate!

[@ThrabenValiant]

Love your How-To-Plays. Always clear and well explained!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you kindly David!

[@thediceodyssey4690]

Thanks for doing this vid Rodney, this game is definitely going on my top 10 games of the year, we had a lot of fun with this one. Had a very Robin Hood (fox edition) vibe to it.

[@WatchItPlayed]

A good analogy, I can see that :)

[@shawnmcdonnall4794]

That's because the graphics are actually done by one of the guys that worked on Disney's Robin Hood! :)

[@thediceodyssey4690]

Shawn Mcdonnall I heard that recently. Such a great game. Thanks for the info as well.

[@plastickhero]

Going on the wishlist.

[@distantbabble]

Thanks for making this video. Super helpful as always.

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad you enjoyed Patrick!

[@d.l.6186]

Now that's some good art (reminds me of that Robin Hood cartoon), and even better tutorial Rodney, well done.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you liked it!

[@Arvias]

Thank you for this!

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very welcome- glad you enjoyed!

[@TheWalkingBad]

This game seems fun and adorable! Thanks for the video, some games lately haven’t been to interesting to me

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you enjoyed this one!

[@arthursimsa9005]

It’s about slowly killing the opponent though. In Shadow of the Colossus, each death is sad. Seems like the designers of Skulk hollow overlooked this if that’s where they took inspiration from - as I suppose they did.

[@n20games52]

Usch an interesting and fun-looking game. I've seen many unboxings and followed it a bit on Edo's channel. Such cool and appealing components! Thanks for the wonderful instructional, as only you can do it.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you kindly!

[@Lugo428]

So, not related to the video at all, but apparently Rodney is a character in Dead of Winter. He can apprehend zombies. What are you doing with them, Mr. Smith?

[@toweypat]

Teaching them how to play games, so he always has someone to game with!

[@WatchItPlayed]

I'm going to teach them the error of their ways!

[@gabrielesimionato1210]

I-Must-Have

[@stefanoronchi6039]

Very informative video, seems like it answered everything! One question though: how many takes did you have to make to get the starting box throwing, and later lid flipping, right? Very stylish 😁

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad the video was helpful!

[@JackieFox1976]

Is it my imagination or are some of the ancient relics bunches of bananas?!?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Whose to say an ancient relic couldn't be a finely preserved bunch of bananas?! ;)

[@GamingwithEdo]

@@WatchItPlayed I concur!

[@aba_dab_o]

That's one giant freakin' guardian meeple. :-o Thanks for the vid!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Ha - it sure is!

[@freya002YT]

Seems like a fun game

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for checking it out Will!

[@JustinEganCG]

I'm sure someonbe's asked, but I can't find where. Do you havve details on the table you use? Is it a custom build? If so, where can I pick up plans?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hey Justin, you'll want to check this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWSlY4qIarWsqNk

[@matofilipovic7818]

I looked everywhere, including this video, and sorry if I missed it here, but I am confused by one little detail in the rules. The main Foxen character and rogue characters have enough space to have 2 power transfered to them. Can I spend both power on those characters for extra actions per turn, OR can I spend only one power per character on my turn? Thank you in advance for clarification :D

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hey Mato, you'll find that explained here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e3zckGVuj9ODqsk There is no restriction on how many you can spend, so that means you can spend more than 1 on a turn. Have fun playing!

[@matofilipovic7818]

@@WatchItPlayed Awesome, thank you very much :D :D

[@alhuda8652]

After reading the rulebook there rised some more questions, which I hope you can help me with. 1. The rulebook says: "Each unit card stays in play until that hero unit is eliminated. When that happens, the unit card is discarded and the hero figure is returned to the supply." So does that mean, that the hero unit can be used again if you have drawn all cards from the hero deck, you have to shuffle the discard pile and use it as the new hero deck? or is the eliminated hero removed completly from the game and his card also? 2. is the prince of guile also able to recall the eliminated heros? 3. when the command ability is used of the princess of tactics, how is it to be used? I understood the condition with the banded hero, but how to move because a hero himself cannot move without the card. and it says or any available action maybe you can clarify. 4. if I use Grak´s stomp ability, I can move the hero units to different ground spaces. Is it allowed to scatter the hero units to different ground spaaces but to leave the leader on the same ground space as Grak? 5. In regards to Apoda regarding sizzle: Is the missile attack also not allowed for the sentinel (the hurl action)? and the dash ability is also not available but the normal leap is? 6. With regards to Tanthos: When it comes to the pull ability, where does the hero unit to be? next to the surrounding ground space from Thanthos or from a root token? A lot of questions, sorry for that 😬😬

[@WatchItPlayed]

1) The hero can be used again. 2-6) I do my best to help with all general rules questions, but I avoid commenting on individual card effects, as I cover so many games, that that level of detail is more than I can manage as one person. I'd suggest checking the BoardGameGeek Skulk Hollow forums for these (where you'll usually find these types of questions have been asked and answered), or directly contacting the publisher. All the best!

[@kyleweeks2941]

Will there be a game play video for this one? Also still waiting for the TI4 video 😜

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for the interest! I talk a bit about that here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/e5XXdaisfrqUbKM&t=342

[@zur13l13]

6 downvoters broke all their games trying to spin them in the air

[@WatchItPlayed]

People don't always appreciate the hazards ;)
