Aliens Board Game - Mission One and Tutorial

[@simonknibbs5867]

01:05:54 Wow, Vasquez is savage. Just like in the movie!

[@Josha05]

Your play through is great. I love at how you really bring in the theatrical side of the game. You actually make me feel as though I’m re watching the movie again. I have just purchased every expansion with the core box. Can’t wait actually start playing the missions. You have actually helped me heaps in understanding the rules thoroughly. One thing about this board game I have really disliked, is actually putting all the miniatures together. It’s taken me hours to do so. I’ve never done that before, but they have come up good. Thanks again for your great in depth play through

[@mike2002bartell]

Excellent play through. Gave me the info needed if I wanted to buy this. Which I do 😊

[@aaronlockley9207]

I played my first game last night. I didnt know if Grunts had 1 Action or 2 Actions. Thank you for this playthrough! It helped me alot lol

[@Ancient_Hoplite]

This was so much fun! Was on the edge of my seat, they're inside the perimeter man, five meters, they're right on top of us!

[@MacAttack001]

Naomi @38:14 , "Oh no!" GASP "Oh no this is worse...they're inside the perimeter!". Hudson, "Oh dear Lord Jesus, this ain't happening, man... This can't be happening, man! This isn't happening!" :)

[@charles_wipman]

Seems much more complex than the Space Hulk, but fun and tense too; great edition btw, made it all more clear.

[@katarhall3047]

Wow production value is A+.

[@kennethhendrickson2865]

Great playthrough. 1. You must remember the On Activation and Passive abilities of the characters. Riipey draws 1 and recycles 2 Cards on Activation. Newt can exhaust 2 cards to pull a character in LOS 2 spaces. 3. Frost reveals a card and with luck can recycle cards. All good. Its important in the later games because you will need to recycle as your firing a lot!

[@Harko-]

I haven’t had time yet to watch the full mission, but it looks like they’ve managed to capture the atmosphere from the movie very well. Thanks for sharing Naomi!

[@madquest8]

Fantastic! thanks for the great video. :) About the ennie meenie mini mo thing though... if only you had some dice there, you could have said 1-3 left, 4-6 right. LOL

[@Sethronskillz]

This was so much fun to watch! especially those couple of moments where the panic really settled in lol, can’t wait to see the next episode 🙂

[@dennfett]

After watching this I'm definitely getting it. Great video 👍

[@duffduff4948]

Hey Naomi, I'm pleased to see you playing this as I have it plus all expansions sitting in my stash ready to play :) I am really hoping to see you pint the miniatures too as you do it so beautifully :) thanks for playing and posting and good luck in the next part. Plese paint everything too if you have the time thank you and take care.

[@scottquinnell8207]

Excellent guide for solo play, very intuitive and easier to follow than reading the instructions. Any ideas for best size playing area as looking for table to fit everything on to

[@flynne9876]

Great video. Have this game all setup ready to play, this was very helpful is clarifying some of the rules.

[@bfredsys11]

Very good informative video, The production level is amazing. I’m going to buy this when I’m done with this video!

[@willtijerina5149]

Fantastic! My copy is arriving in the mail Friday.

[@andrewhaught758]

Awesome play through, The only rule i think you missed is the flamethrower has the cumbersome keyword, this prevents it from firing in defensive fire, but in the game you always chose the pistol so you're good there. Again Awesome play through, can't wait to see the next mission.

[@andrewhaught758]

Also I want to say I love the name tags, its hard to follow characters in the game videos but those tags helped a lot.

[@Gameturners2016]

This is the first of your videos I’ve seen and I enjoyed it very much. I think maybe Newt should have made two moves away from everyone at the end of the first turn she was discovered as I believe she must ‘end’ her move as far away as possible, rather than never come closer during her move?

[@Gameturners2016]

Also, cumbersome weapons cannot defensive fire, so you could not have used Frost’s flame thrower when aliens came through the barricade (you didn’t anyway though, so no impact on the game, but worth noting). Can’t remember if Vasquez’s smart gun is cumbersome too or not, but that may have impacted things. 🙂

[@mweaver6037]

Great tutorial, thanks!

[@eldraque4556]

i love how invested you are, feels as stressful as watching the movie. what was it called again space hulk?

[@loupiscanis9449]

Thank you , Lady Naomi .

[@dtelquess]

Went looking for ep.2 but not yet posted? Ep1:The Search for Newt was such a smash win I expected Mission 2: The Trek to an Escape to be hot on the heals. Not to be :(

[@mattias_lindblom]

Amazingly well done tutorial and video. I'm still confused by one thing, though, and that is Step 1 of the Finish Phase. I see that you don't do anything at all, but the rule book says "resolve any finish phase effect", and that "some cards have abilities that happen during this phase". What is that step, I don't get it all?

[@badgeswedontneednostinking5571]

Greetings from the mountains of West Virginia

[@Ryanironwolf]

WOOO HOOOO! Awesome vid thankee!

[@DaraM73]

Just like to say that if you hadn’t reviewed the game I wouldn’t have bought this and the expansion, or the models (why?)

[@deathevil666]

first love the video's keep them up greetings from the Netherlands to Canada

[@alexx86hater]

Looks like this Vasquez is as bada** as she was in the movie. Overall the game from one side it gives some Space Hulk vibes (well... let's not pretend that SH was not inspired by "Aliens" movie) on other side it is quite different to be the game of it's own... Btw, are you planning to paint these minis?

[@justink9962]

Hicks of all people to calm down a little girl. Mr "Game Over what are we gonna do now?" 😂

[@madcow9421]

Hudson is mr “game over”. Hicks is mr asleep in the drop

[@elrondorio]

@@madcow9421 Yeah Hicks has dropped so many times he uses the time to grab some shut-eye LOL

[@abusha777]

Reminds me of Space Hulk

[@BigBossReaper]

Can you move a few spaces, do an action, and then finish your movement?

[@Rab_1967]

In the pipe, 5 by 5!

[@garymoore2674]

You also forgot Ripleys on activation on her 2nd turn

[@lacrossed55]

When you revealed the vent blip alien, why didn't it attack right away?

[@JLH111176]

Seems like a massive swing in difficulty depending on which blip is Newt, if 1st easy mode if last insane mode ?

[@MagiciansApprentice1]

would love to see the minis painted how do the board pieces compare to the Blackstone Fortress or Silver Tower pieces from GW ?

[@swordnsteele712]

The board piece of this game may be a teeny bit thicker perhaps but feels roughly the same :) As for the miniatures themselves, the plastic doesn`t feel brittle, feels like the Character minis could handle falls to the floor without trouble, though the Aliens might lose a tail here or there if dropped. Regular use though they`ll be perfectly fine :)

[@savemegrilledcheesus494]

@@swordnsteele712 Great Lets Play vid. It answered all of my questions except how detailed are the models? Are they worth painting?

[@dzeclectic2327]

Where does it say that you don't draw motion tracker cards till turn 3? I checked the mission and the rulebook and couldn't find it?

[@michal2270]

where can equipment be randomly placed on soldiers?

[@simoneilmone3634]

hello, why , at 1:09:40 the alien is engaged with Vazques, throws two dice, fails and immediately after , Hudson throws two dice too? Didn't the engaged character just have to roll the dice? Thank you

[@markgoldstein5385]

All characters within four spaces and in the line of sight get defensive fire.

[@borz666]

Space Hulk reskin??

[@Quincy_Morris]

No full campaign? :-(

[@Thor_Vetur]

Eenie meenie minie mo... :)

[@ClarkesonTheMarksman]

Great game and run through of the rules. Plus your a good looking gaming gal. there is not enough of you in the scene :)

[@Stuffandstuff974]

Have you played heroquest or space crusade?

[@swordnsteele712]

No, don't think so 🤔

[@Stuffandstuff974]

@@swordnsteele712 Those are the games that got me into miniatures as a kid. They were released in 1989 and 1990. Absolute classics, pretty simple to play but that's part of the charme and enjoyment of playing them. I really wouldn't be surprised If heroquest ended up becoming a classic board game like monopoly or ludo are.

[@phildavis277]

​@@swordnsteele712Are you going to play any more of the campaigns in the future?

[@Taterniac]

You get frost but not drake ?

[@robet007]

Drake is in the'Ultimate Badasses' expansion' along with Apone, Dietrich, Crowe, Wierzbowski & Burke

[@Taterniac]

@@robet007 dude...now I want to buy it...it's not right without drake lol

[@robet007]

@@Taterniac I agree, you need the full complement of marines. The 'Get away from her you b***h' expansion is also a must, it brings in the alien queen, power loader, Bishop & an extended campaign :)

[@elrondorio]

apparently you can also buy all of the figures separately from the games

[@mainepants]

I choose Hudson as my main character: "Game over man! Game Over!"

[@garymoore2674]

Oh you can barricade spawn points,my apologizes to you

[@jarosawkaczynski3414]

Can i play as a facehugger ]:)

[@sionmarcsimpson7487]

girl your beautiful! great game too.,

[@garymoore2674]

You can only barricade doors,not spawn points

[@nathanadler1452]

You can barricade spawn points, you roll the Alien dice for each blip that would have spawned there to see if they break through.

[@LeDracodon]

Why is there so much sex bots in the comments ?

[@Magtardssuck]

you really should use the actual title of the game since there are several different alien board games. i had no clue which one this was and im looking up info on another glorious day in the corps. i wasnt sure what this was. i mean there is one called alien the board game or something close to that lol.

[@lacrossed55]

Why to scanner cards at the end of round 5?
