Note: I'm frequently asked about the example at 18:10, and why there isn't line of sight to the spider. The LOS can't cross anything, including the target model itself (I know that's odd, but that's how it goes). So before getting to that back right corner of the spider, it would cross through the spider itself, so line of sight is considered blocked.

NOTE: I'm frequently asked about the example at 18:10, and why there isn't line of sight to the spider. The LOS can't cross anything, including the target model itself (I know that's odd, but that's how it goes). So before getting to that back right corner of the spider, it would cross through the spider itself, so line of sight is considered blocked.

[@sababezhashvili598]

At 18:02, Lorick still has line of sight on the spider - Draw a line from lower left corner of Lorick to lower right corner of the spider. The line will exactly pass both corners of the obstacles.

[@WatchItPlayed]

@@sababezhashvili598 Please read the comment you are replying to more thoroughly, you are missing that the Line of Sight cannot pass through ANYTHING, including the target itself. To get to that bottom right corner of the spider's space, it would have to pass through the spider itself, which is not allowed.

[@videoGunZ]

The manual is written pretty well, but your video is much easier and more entertaining! thank you so much for sharing :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

Very kind of you to say - glad you enjoyed it Levin!

[@RuairiOTuathail]

Levin Street LP Agreed. Very clear. tnx

[@perphektxero453]

This is how game reviews should be conducted. Show people how the game is set up and played, let them make their determinations. No judgments, just the facts of the games and conducted in a very polite and friendly manner. Also, I felt this was much more streamlined than the instructions. Watch it Played will be my go to for any game considerations and instructions now on.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Really glad you enjoyed this - glad to have you joining us!

[@PriNcEoFSpAcE009]

ditto.

[@Mark-OutWest]

I hear what you are saying. Rodney is definitely the pinnacle of instruction and clarity, but I also like what the dice tower does. Their insight is also important in deciding on a purchase.

[@RokuRG]

Review is, by definition, giving your opinion, not explaining the rules. This is not a review.

[@AviticusDragon]

Some of the best tutorials I've seen regarding board games, hands down. Very clear and precise instructions and quality production values. ::Salute::

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you Aviticus, that is high praise and I am humbled. This one was a big one to tackle, but I was really happy o be able to share it.

[@scriptulike]

That was an absolutely superb tutorial. Very professional. Terrific clarity. Very grateful to you.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Well thank you - knowing you found it helpful means a lot to me. Very kind of you to say.

[@mainHERO88]

I made it to the end of the video! Ive had my eye on this game for YEARS and I finally got a copy of it that should be arriving in the next day or two. This is by far the best board game turorial that I've seen and I'm sure that I'll be reviewing chunks of it when I try to play the game this weekend. Thanks for making this!

[@WatchItPlayed]

I'm so glad you found this helpful Hero88 :) I hope you have a great time playing!

[@Scatter1282]

I've watched a ton of game tutorials and this is easily one of the best I've ever watched! You did a great job and I look forward to future video's.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks so much for the kind words Jesse - I hope you enjoy some of our other videos as well.

[@JaiSherwood]

This video has got me so pumped to play descent! It's in the post and the suspense is killing me! These videos are so informative, thank you very much! Keep up the great work

[@WatchItPlayed]

+JaiSherwood Hey - thanks Jai! Here's hoping it arrives quickly so you can play soon :)

[@matroska_5625]

First time watching one of your videos and I'm very impressed. Excellent production values and expertly explained with great clarity.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks so much Luke, very glad you enjoyed it - I hope you stick around :)

[@Vetano]

Thanks for these awesome videos! Your structure, pacing, level of detail and overall flow is impeccable! I saw this game at a small gaming convention this weekend and it looked awesome so now I'm doing a bit of research if I should buy it (actually I already know that I want to buy it, just need to ask some buddies so we can start a group). Thanks again! :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

***** Very pleased you enjoyed the video, and I hope you find some friends to join you in the adventures!

[@jameslittle9832]

Thank you so much!!! I have always wanted to get into tabletop gaming, and have finally begun the descent. Your videos make these games very accessible, and also provide easy introductory content, so that opening up the box and beginning your first play through isn't overwhelming.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks really nice to hear James - welcome to the hobby!

[@pittsburghretrogaming8916]

Made it to the end! This is really helping inform my decision and you guys are by far the best table top review channel I have found so far!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoy the content!

[@ChadRyanMiller]

Ordered this online today after my local game store said they were sold out. I was disappointed that I couldn't play tonight, but watched your video all the way through so I could be ready to play when it arrives next week. Thanks for putting in the time and effort to do the video!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Here's hoping you don't have to wait long, and once it arrives, you can dive right in!

[@dynamations318]

I've only just discovered this game and Im already hooked before even playing!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you enjoyed what you saw!

[@johnsmith3085]

Thank you so very much for taking the time to make a video of such depth and quality. You saved me so much time and confusion and referencing the rules. Kudos and keep up the good work!

[@WatchItPlayed]

+John Smith Very pleased to hear you liked the video John!

[@BrianIngram118]

Great instructional video series. Was able to watch the first 2 videos and jump right into the instructional quest. You guys make understanding rules and gameplay so much better. Here's to bringing back board games ! You have a new subscriber . Thanks for all you guys do.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Brian, so glad to have someone with such enthusiasm on board :) Thanks for the kind comments.

[@cgrisetti87]

Made it to the end! Thanks for this instructional! I'm thinking about starting a campaign with some friends at my house.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Well done :) That was a lengthy watch! Hope you guys have a great time with it.

[@errolwilde1656]

I made it to the end I want my thumbs up! lol

[@WatchItPlayed]

+Errol Wilde You got it! *thumbs up*

[@WatchItPlayed]

+Jacob Ford (DarkSapphire1000) We do a full play through as well, which you might find helpful to iron out anything that remains unclear. A lot going on in this game :)

[@frankie4810]

Never got it

[@RunOut1724]

Great video as always. Cleared up all of my questions! I have had this game on my shelf for probably what is now over 5 years and have been wanting to get to it and finally have. It's amazing and I'm just getting started!

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad the video helped - have a fantastic time with the game!

[@ClaySlys]

Made it through the video! Excited to see you play now :) Thank you so much! I allready used some others videos of you to understand several other games. Well done!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for the kind words - glad you enjoyed :)

[@Rudevald]

Why i would not watch "how to play" video to end.? You sir get like for answering every question about gameplay i got :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

That's great to hear :)

[@Spiderboydk]

Very clear and unambiguous explanation. Good work.

[@WatchItPlayed]

+Claus Jensby Madsen Thanks so much Claus!

[@Spiderboydk]

+Watch It Played You're welcome. :-) Explaining the rather complicated rules while not shying away from the corner cases is not a small feat. The amount of planning and preparation put into the tutorial pays off. I can imagine you would be able to properly explain, say, Magic: the Gathering to a newbie. Not many can pull that off without either causing confusion or omitting all the corner cases - or both.

[@WatchItPlayed]

+Claus Jensby Madsen Yes, the main thing is the preparation. Without it, a video for a game like this would likely be a train wreck. At least for me to create :)

[@nicolaiswordart4674]

I made it to the end !! What an Awesome Video! I feel ready to brawl with the dark Monsters of the Overlord with my friends. You made a very confident and definitive impression. Very slow speaking pace and Topic progression, with constant reminders and remarks to information that can be explored one self. Simply awesome.

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad you found this helpful - happy adventuring!

[@mleugim1978]

This is the best How to Play Channel in KZbin! Great job and thank you!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Very kind of you to say!

[@Ashybearification]

Holy moly that is a lot of instructions. Glad I watched before I tried to play it with friends. LOL

[@ExBruinsFan]

+Ashley Beard (Ashybearification) I wish I had.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hope it helped :)

[@PlysovejKaktus]

18:00 How about drawing the line from the bottom left corner of the attacker to the bottom right corner of the spider? That would as well go through the point between the obstacles.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hey, you'll find a quick note in the description of the video that addresses this.

[@PlysovejKaktus]

Thank you for repeating it again :) Descriptions... I know. Very well explained rules. Seems simple now, thank you!

[@WatchItPlayed]

No worries at all - it's a common question, so I always understand why people think to ask.

[@mr.konczal9481]

Good job! Very thorough! Please keep making these vids. YOU make the gaming experience much more satisfying.

[@WatchItPlayed]

+Bob Konczal Thank you so much Bob, very kind of you to say.

[@realjplay]

It's really unbelievable how much work (and love) you put into your videos! Thanks for doing this! :)

[@TheAgentTexas]

Looks like D&D except it doesnt have near as many things to confuse you.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Did you get a chance to try this one?

[@TheAgentTexas]

@@WatchItPlayed unfortunately no. A lot of my friends are surface level board gamers. They aren't really interested in stuff on this level, but I'm working on them 🙂

[@WatchItPlayed]

@@TheAgentTexas Keep it up :)

[@pedrobarbani7244]

You rock. Seriously. I made it to the end of the video with almost any issue. Really entertaining, too. Greetings from Argentina!

So nice of you to say. Very glad to hear you liked the video Pedro!

[@puthyx]

I am blown away by how good you are at this. I am coming from Hero Quest and I was told I may enjoy this. Wow thank you so very much for breaking this down!

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very welcome William, and thank you for the kind comments!

[@ianmorton9088]

Your tutorials are fantastic, I just bought the game after watching them as I think I will be able to play it better now as you make everything so clear. Thanks so much for all your hard work, really appreciate your efforts bringing this to life.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you James, very nice to know you liked the video!

[@heinzkrause2650]

Made it to the end. What a game! Thank you for explaining all this because it is always so much nicer to see and listen than just to read the manual!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Very pleased you survived and enjoyed the video :)

[@ripper2969]

Much easier to understand in your video than reading through the instructions, thank you for this. I watched it til the end and answered 4 out of 5 questions i had about game play, Very good reference material.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Great to hear - glad it was helpful Ripper!

[@CinKaiDRocks]

Thank you for putting time and energy into making videos like this one! It is a much faster and easier way to learn the basics of a game like Descent.

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very welcome, I'm so glad people have been finding this series helpful.

[@Mrsupermuuh]

Your voice, tempo and script.. All of it is spot on. Great great great tutorial. Thank you.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks so much Patrick, appreciated!

[@gdec7849]

I watched this entire video! Great job, and thanks for the shoutout during the first talk back episode!

[@CMPerry]

I made it to the end of the video and like always I was not disappointed in any way! I know this video is older but I just wanted to refresh my self on how to play. Your videos are always top notch content. Thanks for what you do.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks CM - glad the refresher helped!

[@TheRealPuddin]

Just purchased this game to play with my family, so these videos are extremely useful for giving me a headstart in setting up and playing the game - much appreciated!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hope you all had fun playing!

[@tom957a]

Thanks for the videos, Rodney. As usual you've made the instructions way easier than expected, and I definitely want to pick this one up :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hope you have a great time playing Tom!

[@christopherjohnson193]

I just ordered this game on a recommendation from someone in a Facebook group I'm in. I must say I'm really glad I watched this video and subscribed to your channel! You did a phenomenal job explaining everything so clearly that I already feel comfortable about playing once it gets here! Thank you for putting so much effort into these videos for us!

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad you liked the video and found it helpful - I hope you have a great time with the game!

This is so useful! Way more entertaining than just reading it all through. Thank you so much!!

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad you found this helpful Erik!

[@peterbridgwater1416]

This is succinct enough to watch, factually dense enough to convey all the rules, logically organised to flow well and delivered in such a way to keep it interesting. These are by far the best instructional videos I have seen. Many of the others can be manic, disorganised and sometimes annoying. Not only are you brilliant at explaining the games; the others should be learning how to teach it from you!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for the high praise Peter, very glad you enjoyed the video!

[@pickent]

Just watched the whole thing and have to say you're the best! Have learnt so much so far and am excited for my first game as Overlord in a new exciting board game.

[@WatchItPlayed]

I hope you have a great time with it Tom :) Thanks for the kind words!

[@taylorm3023]

Really pro videos! Keep them coming! Because of you I've picked up both Descent and Wrath of Ashadalon, and am loving them both.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Never too many dungeon crawlers :)

[@redstayv9604]

Made it to the end! Great video, thanks so much. Hoping there's more tutorials for campaigns, expansion play, etc.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Well done :) There is a video at the end of the game play series that talks about the campaign. We don't go into the expansions (we don't tend to cover expansions on the show).

[@normnevins8067]

Rodney, you've done it again...another amazing instructional video. Sincerely, you are a natural at teaching game concepts. Owning several FF made games, I know the rules are tough (cough, cough, Arkham). But you have put them together masterfully. Thanks for the walk through and the hi end quality I know we all have come to enjoy from Watch It Played!!!

[@tigerfight85]

Yeah, Arkham Horror: LCG rules left me with so many questions after I read them.

[@BiAir75]

Sensational tutorials! Finally, all my questions are answered in detail. Exactly what I was looking for a time now. Many Thanks!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Future? You already got me in the present! ;) Keep up your good work!

[@WatchItPlayed]

@@BiAir75 Thank you kindly!

[@MaatUMD]

As requested. Finished the video and found it to be a good start to getting the rules down 100%. Bought this on a whim the other day, and I like to start with your videos before delving into the rule book. Keep it up!

Very informative and even though I've played the game already, cleared up some points that I was wondering about, mainly diagonal movement when near a corner. Cheers Rodders!
