Tom Teaches Lost Ruins of Arnak (Rules Overview & Gameplay)

[@theshogunstein6475]

glad to see you back doing content, it seemed a lot of people stopped making content over the last few months, glad you are back

[@TomTeachesGames]

Thanks! I think it’s just been such a dang tough year..... I’m trying to do as much as I can during the break, because once school starts, I doubt I’ll be able to make more until the summer..... I hope your year finishes up great!

@@TomTeachesGames other things happened with board game media as well, not nearly as fun as it once was.

How did it go?!? Did you have fun? I really really love this game....

Like I said on the setup video, welcome back :) I've had reason to recommend your channel a couple of times recently, so good timing on adding new content! I didn't notice any played mistakes you didn't catch already, but I think you misread one card somewhere in the middle - an artifact that lets you defeat a guardian that doesn't have another player present - which you interpreted as any player, including yourself, but I believe it could have been used to defeat one you were facing yourself. I don't know how much difference it would have made if you'd realised that at the time - it doesn't make anything you did illegal, so it's kinda moot. I'm not sure whether there was another option available to blue in his last few actions that might have scored a little more - I believe he had the opportunity to spend compasses to exile a Fear and draw a card, but unless that card helped him score additional points, I don't think it would have helped - it might even have cost a point overall (I'd have to check the tape) but winning by 1 point is more dramatic anyway :)

Thanks friend! It’s great to be back (for a minute 😂) already working on learning the next game for the channel.......

@@TomTeachesGames You could always return to Gloomhaven too (or another campaign game) - though I can see the argument for playing one-and-done games to get them off the list (and the argument for playing games you're excited about rather than ones that have started to feel like a bit of a chore). Just felt I had to mention GH at least once :)

Thank you! I'm not sure how long I'll be able to stick around.... schools almost back in session... but I'm working as quickly as I can to do a few more videos before that happens....
