Transcript
hi it's stella from people university and this is stella's short and sweet preview for rescuing robin hood from castillo games this time robin hood needs to be rescued so gather your merry men and women because it is up to us now to save the day the game plays one to five players with mechanics such as deck construction hand management and push your luck the game is of light complexity this is why we need to rescue robin hood in rescuing robin hood players work together using townsfolk cards to defeat waves of sheriff of nottingham soldiers rescuing even more townsfolk to help the battle before finally rescuing robin hood in round 5 and optionally trying to defeat the sheriff of nottingham himself at the start of the round each player draws four cards from the shuffle deck and adding the witch stealth prawn and jollyness points from all cards the object is to defeat rows of soldiers to rescue the townsfolk at the end of each row i mean you can leave some behind but those transform are going to be so sad starting from the first player player can choose two out of three attack types launching one type at a time
jollyness is added as well to other attack type players can outwit the soldiers by resolving and flipping the cards one at a time till they decide to stop players can attack stealthily choosing how many soldiers they want to resolve first before launching the attack and players can also attack with brawn all in attack all soldiers in one row charging ahead trying to save those poor townsfolk you can also transfer brown points between players in the same round to coordinate all in one powerful attack if players fail their attacks the soldiers all stay in the row so it's up to you do you think you have what it takes to defeat them after you rescue the townsfolk collectively players choose how they are going to be distributed amongst players add two players discard pile and use them when you have to recycle your cards for your deck on the last round then players each choose their dream team choose 4 towns for cards for your last battle to rescue robin hood optionally you can also try to beat sheriff of nottingham if you die come on rescue me already the game has some nice puzzle that needs to be coordinated with other players like which upgrade cards go to which players what combination works well who needs to attack with what and which row and so on some cards give you tokens
like prayer tokens that help defeat a soldier or move to another row if you do it strategically it can be very helpful there are scout tokens that let you reveal soldier cards of your choice so you can plan ahead better remember though there's a castle card at the end with 24 strength that you've got to defeat before you start rescuing robin hood in the last round so planning ahead make sure at least one person has a total of this strength at least even specialize some of the attack types then push your lap to victory so thanks for watching folks at the time of filming rescuing robin hood is an active project on kickstarter so i'll put the link in the description below so you can check that out the components feature in this video are prototypes so rules and artwork are not final if you have any questions for me please write in the comment sections below you would help us by subscribing to mipple university and hit the bell so you won't miss anything from us i also share my board games journey on instagram so hopefully i will see you there too until next time
