Tiny Epic Dungeons | How to Play

[@PliakGr]

hello my friend, the videos you upload are among the most comprehensible and detailed videos on how to play a board game, well done and keep up the good work 😊

[@ThatBoardGameShow]

Thank you ☺️ Comments like this make all the work that goes into these videos worth it. And I’m happy to report that I have several new videos in the pipeline coming in the next few months :)

Such a good tutorial! Covered so many small rules that make the game easier! Great job!

[@ThatBoardGameShow]

Thank you ☺️ This one took me a while to figure out, so I’m very pleased to hear that I have made the process somewhat easier for you :)

Nice production - like the overlays - red arrows pointing at things, big red cross when serpent defeated, highlighting abilities etc. As you mentioned- icon heavy - seems a bit like hard work initially - probably smoother after a play or two.

[@ThatBoardGameShow]

Thank you :) It’s lovely to know all the little extras are appreciated. It certainly is a lot of icons to absorb, but it definitely starts to make sense after a couple sessions, and then you can often figure out what something means without all the extra tools. One of the trades offs of squeezing so much game into such a tiny package.

Not that it matters too much but you can only gain the bonus focus and/or health off of successful skill checks. If you fail the check you gain no bonuses.

Another good catch. Thank you for pointing out these little rules goofs. It's super helpful for anyone reading the comments to see the corrections :)

Hello, what a good production value and very good tutorial mate !!! Thank you for doing this. I have a question, now that you made also a playthrough for ODD. Which from these 2 games you recommend? For the moment I'm not owning neither from these 2 but I'm planning in the near future to purchase one from these 2 titles. So, could you please be so kind and tell me in your opinion which was a better game. Thanks!

[@ThatBoardGameShow]

Thank you :) It really means a lot to hear that all the extra time and effort to make a quality production is appreciated. Regarding which of the two games I would recommend… they offer quite different play styles. So it would really depend n your preference. As far as which one I prefer, I think I enjoy the added complexity and decision space that Tiny Epic Dungeons offers, it feels like more of an adventure, where ODD feels like more of a dice puzzle with a light dungeon crawling theme. Honestly I don’t think you can go wrong with either of them. I hope that’s helpful :)

Great tutorial! Thank you 🙇‍♂ Does the game work with 1 hero in solo as well? Or are you required to have 2 heroes?

[@ThatBoardGameShow]

Yay 🥳 I’m so glad you found it helpful. I don’t think it would work with only 1 hero (I’ve never tried) The rules say to run 2 when playing solo. I think the balance might be a bit off with just one. But there’s certainly nothing stopping you from giving it a go (I might even try myself now that you mention it)

[@simonread7859]

Ah, the joy of solo play - assume Etherna threw the Amethyst Figurine into the other room- how convenient for Sir Lanon to pick up. Ok - can go with that - except….. maybe a dice roll to see if the figurine shatters when hitting the floor. D6 1/2 shatters, 3-6 survives intact.

[@ThatBoardGameShow]

Haha. Brilliant. Or perhaps Sir Lannon could have tested his agility to see if he could catch it ;)

[@joemitchell2086]

I thought preforming a Heroic Action ends you movement? That how I read it on Pg.7 MOVE, but I could be interpreting it wrong..

[@ThatBoardGameShow]

You are 100% correct! Good catch. Thank you for pointing that out. I don't know how I glossed over that rule.

[@BerndStapf]

@@ThatBoardGameShow also: When your health reaches zero, your turn ends. So no more free actions after that (because you can only perform them _during_ your turn) like you did with searching the spell. Otherwise, really great tutorial.

[@ThatBoardGameShow]

Oops. Yet another good catch 👍🏻
