Get Ready for Game Night!
Добавлен 26 сен 2013
This started as a channel for my friends to learn board games before they came over for Game Night. It's evolved into very small game instructional channel. I teach games in a very conversational, unscripted way, as if you were at the table with me learning how to play for the first time. This isn't a full time gig for me, so I don't get to post new videos nearly as often as I'd like. If you have any requests, I'll do my best to accommodate!

This is a really great explanation - many thanks!
You are welcome!
Hi, in 6:30 you say that whenever there's a combination of two symbols, in the faction dice, that you can do "either/or". According to my reference sheet you can do just ONE of those two options. So "either" shouldn't apply. Can you confirm? Thanks!
Your interpretation is correct. I do these videos without a script, so issues like that arise sometimes with my casual vocabulary
@@GetReadyforGameNight Hi, thanks for the promt response. And don't worry, I know it happens, I just wanted to double-check since I got the spanish version and I had to make sure there wasn't a typo or anything on my end! Thanks again and great vids! Cheers!
In case of mustering Dead men. Why don't mountains affect it when Aragorn's in Helm's Deep ?
Thanks for this video. It is slow and clear. I hate those tutorials where the makers seem to have given themselfs the target to do it in the least of time. Which a lot of times makes it sloppy. Hats off!
Thank you! I did make a few mistakes, so please read the full video description to see where I goofed.
FANTASTIC rules explanations thank you a lot for this! This is just the best on youtube!
You are too kind. Enjoy the game!
@@GetReadyforGameNight Your content is great, you plan doing anything more of this sort?
@maestro7058 it's unlikely unless I get a large number of requests. My day job is in healthcare, and during the pandemic, I was working 100+ hours a week. And now a days there are dozens of "professional" board game tutorial channels that can put out content much faster than I ever could. Those 2 things pretty much killed my channel. I haven't posted a video in years.
@@GetReadyforGameNight ahhh that's sad to hear! And ye totally understood and understandable sir! Well I would say that your structure is very detailed and overall style does provide big value. Aside from Watch It Played and maybe Becca Scott's tutorials I would say I see no huge competition, but of course it depends on what game you wish to teach and it is a bit of a smaller product I get it, but maybe hey like a review or something? Anyway I subbed just to support!
@maestro7058 that is VERY high praise to be compared with those two youtubers! You are too kind.
This is a great game but I actually enjoy the original board game which I believe is from 2002.
Great video. I feel prepared to teach my group this game after watching.
Awesome to hear! Enjoy the game!
best explanation of troyes i watched
Very kind of you to say! Thank you! And enjoy the game!
one note you can also recruit 2 leaders at the master action.
I still don't get how the "reshuffle all ent/eagle/dead men factions cards in the discard pile" works. What good does that do, if they stay in the discard?
You deserve 20x the subs. This was the most comprehensive Troyes rules breakdown I've seen yet. Many others skip important rules or they talk so fast you have to drop the speed down by 50%. You sir, have a talent. Merci!
You are very kind to say that. I do enjoy teaching games quite a lot. I hope you enjoy the game. Thanks for watching!
Thank you for this! Your explanation is by far the best! Can’t wait to play this
You are very welcome! Enjoy the game!
That was an ace teaching vid, good balance of rules but also the why (playback speed 1.5 worked well for me). Thanks for the video :D
You're very welcome!
Amazingly detailed and informative. Thank you!
You are very welcome! I hope you enjoy the game!
Thank you. After watching another tutorial video and half of another one, I found your video and finally understood the game 😂 I think it was very smart, among other things, to mention the setup at the end!
Thank you for the kind words!
Awesome tutorial, not to mention you perfectly recreated my childhood feeling of "trying to grasp how x chapter of mathematics works just before the exam, and then finally starting to understand it", and for that pinch nostalgia I say thank you
Glad I could tickle that nostalgia for you! Enjoy the game.
best explanation i've found. Congratulations!
Thank you!
I think you said something wrong. Its only when moving that an army action means you can do two actions. When attacking you can only do one.
Correct. I think I address this in the video description
@@GetReadyforGameNight Still. Really nice video :) And cool that you're still keeping up with the video after all these years 👌
I just got the game and came up with my own way of (hopefully) drastically shortening the setup time for it :)
Its my latest obsession.
@RagdollRalph If you have a way of shortening set up, please share it!
Thank you for this! I'm looking forward to playing with my family for the first time.
You're welcome! Enjoy the game!
So there will always be a monster of the week on the board even if you defeated 3 of them already?
That is correct.
@Get Ready for Game Night! the rule book on page 14 says no more monsters of the week are drawn after the 3rd one is defeated. I think you are getting activation and movement mixed up.
@@GetReadyforGameNight the Big Bad will never be on the board with a monster of the week because it takes defeating the 3rd monster of the week for the big bad to be revealed.
@@magrot123 I stand corrected. This isn't a game I've ever owned or played. It was a subscriber request. My apologies
Hi
Hi
Best teach of this game I’ve seen. Sub.
Thank you for the kind words!
Man, such a good video
Thank you! Be sure to read the video description to see the goofs I made!
Monumental work! I still watch this video every time I'm going to play WotR after a long pause
Thanks! Be sure to read the description. I do make a few mistakes that I correct in the video description
@@GetReadyforGameNight Sure ) Plus I do read manual )) It's just way easier after a good video walkthrough
Obligatory reference to the digital edition (which is excellent.) Also check out the official discord to organize games or watch the official tournament that’s going on. discord.gg/Jh4wn7Rp
1) If vampire kills The hunter in combat ,does dracula player get 2 + 1 influence for kiling the hunter or that just counts when dracula defeat the hunter ? 2) When i play punch my first round of combat,can take that card back and play it again in my second round combat or I can only pick it up in my hands after I finish my second round of combat ? 3) What happens if the hunters is abushed against two or more vampires at the same time ? Is he fighting with all vampires at the same time? 4)When fighting a vampire does the fight occurs on next dusk or dawn ( just like with dracula ) or during that day or night ? (Can more then one hunter fight against one or more vampires at the same combat?) 5)What happends when hunter is in the same city with dracula and one or more vampires ? 6)What happends when more than one hunter is in the same city with dracula and more then one vampire ? Thank you very much !
So the elimination for the Dead Men makes no sense to me. You can recruit them while in an adjacent region as Aragorn/Strider but they are eliminated if Aragorn/Strider isn't with them. So wouldn't that immediately eliminate them?
Once the dead men are activated, you immediately move Strider/Aragon to Erech to join them. Then if he's separated from them, they are eliminated.
Do a video playing the Apollo NASA Moon Missions game
I'm sort of retired at this point. My "real job" has gotten too busy for me to continue to make videos. Thanks for watching though!
This is so great!!! Thank you so much, I really look forward to playing after your very useful and clear instructions. I actually like a slower narration, I'm sick of really fast super speedy narration 'how to play' videos.. they are so fast sometimes I cant get my head around a concept before I have try to remember another.. they're too fast and not very memorable.. it actually becomes a hindrance expect perhaps to the most seasoned gamers or to those who dont care about every nuance of the rules.. slower narratipns means that you can play the game correctly straight away without having to consult a rule book again over and over.. thank you again!!
You are very welcome. I try to make my videos more "conversational" than "Instructional". Not for everyone, but it's my preferred way to learn. Thanks for watching!
dude this video is incredible, ty so much
You are very welcome. Enjoy the game!
While I enjoyed the content, there was one repeated thing that I found disturbing: you continually used masculine pronouns when going to third person, excluding over half the human race. Please consider inviting the other half to gaming by including them or using gender-neutral “they/them” in 3rd person. You did great most of the time when directly speaking to the viewer I.e., “you/your.” It was just that pesky 3rd person usage… ;-)
Fair. Thanks for watching!
By far one of the best troyes tutorial ive watched. great job sir.
Thank you. I hope you enjoy the game!
I get that you are going for “unscripted”, but that’s not always a good thing. There are so many points where the momentum just can’t get going because you are trying to remember things off the top of your head. I think you understand and care about the game, so even just one page of notes would make things infinitely better.
Best video by far on how to play Condordia. Well shot, excellent explanations! No need for the rule book. Thank you so much. '
Very kind of you to say. Thanks for watching!
Tolkien’s or tokens? Pretty hard to keep straight I bet! ;-)
Bravo. Bravo.
@@GetReadyforGameNight Will you be making more videos? Just discovered your channel and I appreciate the “just like you’re at the table with us” approach to explaining the rules. It’s a nice alternative to the Watch It Played style.
@@booner29 I appreciate that Dan. I haven't made a video in several years now for several reasons. My kids are older and they take up a lot more of my time. Since I started, there have been dozens, if not hundreds, of MUCH better produced video channels. And mostly, I'm a practicing Anesthesiologist, so COVID-19 has completely upended my work schedule the last several years, leaving me with very little time for side projects. I won't say I'll never make another video, but don't expect any in the near future.
very thorough ! Nice. Helped a lot
Awesome! Glad you liked it. Make sure to read through the whole video description to catch a few goofs that I made. Thanks for watching!
I am buying this game at a convention this weekend. This video is fantastic! I can't wait to play!
Awesome! I hope you enjoy it!
Very good! I played a few years ago and will play this week and needed a reminder or three. Clear and easy to follow.
Thank you! Please read the video description to see the goofs I made!
Thanks! Very helpful.
You're very welcome! Enjoy the game!
Thank you! It seems like once you know the basics of War of the Ring and want to include more of the source material, here is more!
Indeed
Cool. If you like the added abilities of Strider/Aragorn and Gandalf the Gray/White in the base WOTR game, it looks like this expands on that concept for other powerful cameo characters we love from the books and movies.
Thanks for watching!
This was excellent. Thanks very much.
That's very kind of you to say. Thank you! And enjoy the game!
amazing job Thank you
Very kind of you to say! Enjoy the game and thanks for watching!
Thanks! That was a great explanation.
Thank you for the kind words & enjoy the game!
Great video, very helpful.👍
Thank you for saying so! Hope you enjoy the game!
Great video, thanks! questions: Can i move away from any quest during my turn or am i stuck there until completion? Can i decide to heal myself past the starting life points (4)?
Great questions. Yes you may leave a quest location before the quest is complete. Yes, you may heal yourself past the starting life point value of 4, but never above 6. Thanks for watching!
Plain and simple explanations, without unnecessary animations, unfunny jokes or grimaces. Congratulations!
Thanks for watching!
Love ur vids
Thank you very much. They were a labor of love. Nowadays, there are MUCH better people than I doing board game instructional videos. People like Paul Grogan at Gaming Rules! and Monique and Naveen at Before You Play are real pros.
Im requesting hunt for the ring
I'm pseudo retired from making board game videos now. My day job is being an anesthesiologist, and COVID-19 completely wrecked my free time. And now I'm very much out of practice. I'll consider it though.
Actually, when the ring bearers arrive in mordor, companions still in the fellowship remain in the fellowship. Gollum becomes guide only when no one remains in Fellowship for whatever reason
Yes. If you read the description of the video, there are several mistakes that I made during the teach. I correct all of them in the video description. Thanks for watching!
@@GetReadyforGameNight great video nonetheless. Thank you
