Victim the Cursed Forest Board Game - Playthrough for Kickstarter

you're trying to escape the cursed forest together with your friends but one of you will be turned into evil do you want to see playthrough of victim the curse forest in this video we're going to show you a one round play through for a victim the cursed forest via tabletopia and describe what we're doing to give you a flavor for how the game flows coming up hi it's tarrant and stella from igbo university bringing you a variety of quality plugin videos now let's get to our play through for victim the cursed forest designed by titi nan yang song and published by hexahouse the game is still in the prototype stage so the rules and components you may see here may not be final let's get to the table top here hi everybody and here we are for our one round playthrough for victim the curse of forest yep now we're here on tabletopia showing you how to play this game and we're playing it as a two player game where we still need to use four characters so you can see we have our four characters here we'll each be playing two of them so we've split it up simply i'm playing the boys and stella's playing the girls easy so i'll be the first player yes for this round and we've uh gone into uh our it's about to start our third round yes so the way this game works it is a it's a one versus mini game but we haven't come to the one yet we're still uh behaving cooperatively and that will happen after round three so we've gone ahead and played the first two rounds for you we've explored a little bit around the forest and we're going to go through the third round before someone gets possessed by the evil and so you'll see all of that happen who would that be tarrant we don't know we won't know until we flipped the uh flip the curse guard exactly okay so uh stella will be going first in this round as rolita right i am he the big player for rolita controlling rolita at the moment now as you can see here on her playboard she is good at running so running is actually good because i want to reveal more map tiles because we need to get to the bunker at some point to um to actually escape to win the game basically the bunker's down the bottom of one of those uh map tiles this yeah one of these two yeah so i'm gonna try to run so at the moment i've got three dice that i can roll for my agility so rolling this three dice will get is giving me not too bad for four so i can go to four different tiles now i can also increase my my stats you can see here this particular tile is rock hill has got the vitality um so vitality test um at the moment my arm is at one so i'm not good at defending so this is probably a good thing for me to try yeah the only risk there will be that if you fail the test your movement will stop that's correct all right i'm going to give it a go i'll move that one i need to get better a little bit at least and i move back to my board i have one to roll and i need to achieve one or more okay so in a test you've got to roll one per die roll so that's a success succeed yay so that's one move i will go there's no need for me to go to intelligence house i'm already maxed out on my intelligence which is only three unfortunately so i will move to the next style i'll try to reveal more tiles here so there are two tiles i can choose from i'm just going to choose one at random i'm going to put it here perhaps and let's see what's behind this style the agility test that's quite good because you do want to get your agility up i do indeed so i'm going to move there and i'm going to do the agility test deck here and i've got three so i'm rolling three of these trying to aim for a three okay so here we go oh oh no fail so i that means that i am getting one yeah unfortunately this is not the best um because if i have two one and and then if there's evil then um if if the evil used the evil move on me yeah you are you would be at risk it also end your movement oh no well i do have flexible so i can try to run again yes it's one of uh relita's special powers is being able to run twice yeah generally players are only allowed to do each action once per turn um let's have a look at the board quickly because i'm right there i can it's not really much i can do there so i think running is my best bet at the moment i can't really do you know defend i can't do any search because you can only search at specific time like this one for example or the one with plain um so yeah that's what i'm gonna do i'm gonna do another runt so flexible action yeah flexible action for that one so roll that and i have four so it says here after running um only half the total result rounded up so two is not bad so let's have a look at the next tile uh we'll open this one and we've got an empty towel that's okay move there let's lock it down and i will do one more one more movement which i will go here there's a wall there oh sorry yes you're quite right so i'm going to put it up here and this is not a good one oh no oh yeah so we've got a curse yeah so this is actually good for the evil player because it will transport them from one of these styles to another like a teleporter but we now that we flip this style we need to flip an event out which can also move on to the tile that's right oh no okay so event is not good because it's usually you know it's usually bad for the players so let's see insect swarm okay let's see what we'll do so insect form can be positive because it lets you do another test okay if there is anyone on a testile at the moment that's right so currently um no one says yourself so it doesn't have any effect yeah so that is i believe is the end of my turn yes okay so now we come to diego's turn so if you have a look down at diego's board diego can help level up other characters by discarding and item items and that's what i've been planning to do because i know that anya has a very good power for which she needs three agility and three luck and there's no luck tests on the board but i can level up her luck that's good thank you am i next to you on the board not yet but what i can do is i i'll run first so i roll the die i get a two so that gives me two movement to use my power and i know i need to be at least adjacent and hopefully i can get through this quicksand and level up my agility so i'm going to pop through here yeah two breaths with one stone turret yep so that's my first movement point i do an agility test so let's head back down to my board i roll one die trying to get a one or more yes success so i level up my agility well done that is good because diego is pretty slow at the moment yes and then for my second move i will come down here yes okay and that's the end of my run action now i will spend my second action point on the tool master action so i can discard this manual there we go and with that i'm now going to level up anya's luck thank you very much anja now has photo flash available which will let her look through map tiles and let us get the map tiles we want very handy which i'm going to do next time most likely yep okay so that is the end of my turn and it will go to anya okay now my go which is anya's ghost is this green player now taran just gave me that power to the photo flash which is this one so i may look at the top three map tiles on a single map pile and put them back in any pile also in the same poll we and any order and i can also put it at the bottom of the pile if i want to so i'm going to use that and this is a passive power here so means that i don't use my action to use my active power yep so i'm gonna do that right now it's a very good one to get it let's just mine these decks quickly if we want to find the bunker i'm gonna show everybody what i've got as well for this purpose so look at this so this is the one that i want to put at the bottom of the tile this tile so i'm going to do that first it's bad this is bad exactly so i'll put this at the bottom like so now this is good because this is a search tile so i'm going to put this the second one yep and put this at the very top because i can take that next time very good and you're right near me which is good diego who's good at searching yes so that's what i'm gonna do i am going to run which and which means i'm gonna open some tiles and i've got three roll three dies unfortunately i only have two but that's okay i will uh go to my so diego is the yellow one that's good yes i can go here so i can only go to the bottom left or bottom right because that connects to this one there's a way here um i know what it is obviously and i will move there so diego can search next time now i can go one more i can stop and search but i'm gonna open up more and i know what this is as well so i'm gonna open this and let's just put it here just connect these two it might be a bad idea that means it's giving away of the evil to move faster but i feel like i need to go back there as well at some point so let's do that and of course i know what um what this is lock that in place and and that's my move action so i moved there that's two move for me now the next one is my second action i can't actually do anything else like kind of ran out of things to do i can't move for the second time i'm not really tired um i should have searched i mean i should have tried to decode which is using my intelligence but never mind that is too late so um i'm just gonna take the 110 and i am going to pass on to tarrant okay lucian's turn now lucian is on a decoder space and if we see over here at the bunker lucian actually decoded at this space last turn and picked up a 4 which will ultimately go into the bunker entry once you've decoded this token goes down and that means you can no longer get numbers out of this space but you can get symbols or operators and so that's what i'm going to try to do as lucian in this turn so because i have a very good intelligence yeah this is my boy so he's a smart boy and basically you'll try to get a three here on three dice to get a symbol okay so let's come down we'll try the test intelligence three i need to hit a three to successfully decode i got a three excellent okay so what that now means as we go over here to the bunker i get a symbol let's divide it and we probably won't see the bunker come out here but i'll just show you quickly we pull one of these tokens out of the total bag when we find the bunker and we're essentially going to have to use the symbols and numbers we get to come up with an equation that hits this number exactly that number exactly that number pop that back for now we've got a divided by symbols so that's pretty good and now for my second action i'm going to run all of my stats are still minimal i need to get to some test tiles and that number 13 it's actually one of the lowest one because they are higher one like 72 i believe all right i get to run one space and i could go exploring i might go ex we need to get to the bunker somehow right yeah i also i also want to come in closer in case i need to help you because i'm the one with the intelligence and if your evil comes and hurts you i can heal you next time oh sorry my nightmare armor sorry in shiny armor fashionable oops okay um so that will do that turn all right so now that's the end of all the players turns and so we have to go through the events and then because it's round three the curses so we flip a new event we've got hail so let's zoom in on this here hail destroys your items each victim chooses to discard half of the item cards rounded down so that can be very inconvenient if we're collecting items but if we just look across all of our heroes here one item zero items zero and zero so nobody have to has to discard so that one's not too bad yeah now we do the curse phase because on at the end of third round we have to do the case all right so we flip the top curse card and this tells us what the enemy is going to be and how we figure out who it is so let's zoom in here we've got let me just zoom again the cursed mirror so we're going to test all victims intelligence and whichever gets the fewest points is going to be possessed by the doppelganger doppelganger is the enemy we're using today so let's go through those tests one by one all right i'll start my test first as rolita she's got three so i'm using three dies and roll that's five that's pretty high yep definitely safe yep diego has an intelligence of one so that's a single roll that's not too bad all right my second character intelligence is two so i'll be rolling two dice this one let's see and i have two as well two as well yeah i'll um open across for you tarrant thank you okay and lucian has three intelligence so his role is before right so we have a tie right so to resolve that we just do a single uh a single die roll until we break the tie so diego rolls a zero and anya rolling a one so diego is now turned into evil diego is possessed okay so a couple things happen here diego is now no longer a victim diego is now cursed and then we move up to the evils board so i've brought the cubes up here one of these cubes tracks rage and it starts at one rage and then these other three are going to represent stamina which will happen during the evil's turn and so these are all the powers that the evil has now i'm still going to use the yellow maple to represent the evil however with the doppelganger the doppelganger is two evils um a doppelganger has a shadow who will be represented by one of these red tokens you are currently asked so here i am and this is now my shadow and so i'll be able to send both myself and the shadow around trying to attack these other victims seems very powerful can be quite powerful the attacks are a little bit weaker but um certainly that spread can be quite powerful so that is a doppelganger we are ready to go with the doppelganger the other thing that shifts now is that stella controls all three of the remaining victims whereas i will only control the doppelganger that's how you set it up in a two player game so now we'll look at how the main board is laid out because the next phase is the evil turn phase so i can see i've got a couple of victims near me but a little bit it's a little bit of an effort i've got to move down here i've also got a nice portal here that can bring me right up to relita no and if i look down at rolita she's well she's built up her vitality a little bit my other closest victim would be anya and anya if i check her vitality that's quite weak so she's a much easier target so hopefully that should be where i target my first efforts so the first action i'm going to take is hunt so i roll my d6 to movement i was hoping for more i've got more flexibility but two movement it is sorry also to start my turn i gain one stamina i'll explain that in a sec so i've got two movement which i can split between me and my shadow my shadow and me sorry and i know anya is weaker so i'm going to go there one two no okay i'm in trouble coffee illusion can help uh help heal me a little bit we shall see it all depends how this goes so now for my second action i've got two options i can either attack which would be rolling this die and attacking with whatever number comes up or i could do for a cost of one stamina and i get one stamina per turn i could do dark thorn where i do a two strength attack on both tiles where i am and where my shadow is there's no one on my shadows tile so it's probably going to be better for me to just do a straight attack so i'll roll that die four oh no i'm in trouble i can there's no way i can defend that because i only have one one die so if i roll that would be like a maximum of two because these six sided dies of maximum is two yeah yeah so i shall hand you your wound and move it down onto anya like so i'll do [Laughter] so that is the end of my two actions i still have one stamina i'll have two next ten and now we will go back to the heroes actions all right i'm going first well me me and me because now i'm controlling all these three good guys while evil taran doppelganger is trying to get to us so as lolita a reality i will try to run as usual let's roll those three dice and that is oh that's a good one wow six i can run fast that is a lot of running i know we'll see all right so she's right there so i also want to try to get closer to my teammate if possible because um because i need to get healed because it's got one wound so i'm gonna do i'm gonna try to run this one first to the towel and then i can do the next one here which is this one um sorry yeah yeah let's see what's this one here is a curse another bad one oh no okay so we need to flip an event that's so bad all right let's sleep in the event here on the cloud so what it does lightning strike on decoding styles every victim on any decoder tiles has to discard one item cut from the hand only no none no one no no okay so let me just leave it there and then i'll reveal the next style okay that still helps me because it gets through the event deck quicker and running out of events does end the game in my favor that will need rotating sorry yes let me uh rotate that a little bit but nothing on that tile so that's three movement thank you for keeping track parents next one let's see that is a corpse tile where you can go searching for items but i'll keep going i'll keep running so five number five another empty space yeah that's okay i'm closer to my teammate in number six let's put it here this is another search which is good so i can try to do an item search here yeah um back to the board so that's what i'm going to do next i'm going to do a sit now i've got two dies here that i can use for message and i will have one so i need at least three so unfortunately i did not get that item that i need so that i believe is the end of it yeah anja's turn now let's look at the assess the board first so anna's right there with taryn the evil double genga so i really need to run here and get healed so i need to get to one of these two potentially next to lucian so they can heal me but we'll see what happens let's see um on your sport right so agility is three so yeah i think i'm gonna try to run because i really don't like where i am right now and roll all of them and that's four that's not too bad so back to the board i will run uh four now i can either reveal more tiles or i can just run to um my fellow teammates i think what i forgot actually i forgot to reveal using my passive action which i'm going to do it now actually so back to any sport so you see this photo flash because i've got 3 agility and 3 luck i can look at the top 3 map so i'm gonna do that now um which i have done before so let's recon that a little bit because we're still in the same one um technically so i'll look at this two let's put it over here here's three so three yes all right so this is a good this is this all are good so uh the talented test is good for me because i'm really bad at defending so i really want that one but i'm also risking myself to get a wound if i'm not successful i think i want to try to get the plane first and so i will put this one at the oops and put this one first and then that one and the plane now i'm running so i'm going to open the plane get your movement yeah so i'm going to put it right here because this is the only way i the only one i can do click that and move it there i'm not going to stop there and i'm going to refill this one so i'm going to just try to open up as much cycle as well let's see what's behind this song all right so i changed my mind i i do i do now um try it and then see what happens just to give you a flavor as well on what happened so let's um do a fatality test and rolling one die and i people failed all right um a good example though on how i actually um fail so i don't um i don't automatically die yet i will need to get um to get attacked by a certain attack by talent and that is um i believe that also ends my running action yes so you get a critical wound so you lie yourself down yep and because you're critically wounded that gives me as the evil one rage oh no to my board my rage goes up to two that's bad that's not the best turn so far so the next one that i can do let's have a look at the board again well now that you're in nothing now that you're critically injured all you can do is crawl so i can you can move one space yep but not into a new tile well you were right yeah so i can't really i should have gone the other way um that's my fault um i actually not going to move because you're right there so i'm going to just leave it at that for now now lucian's turn now i really need to heal either one of these girls um pink and green so i'll try to move first and see who i can get now i will roll one die here and that is one either way i will go to this way so it does mean you don't have the range to go and heal anya so she's very vulnerable yeah it's like i can't i can't reach it unfortunately and lucia doesn't have a big um or a high number of dices you can roll anyway so that means i need to heal and to heal which is this one intelligence which is not too bad it's got three uh two that you draw so let's roll this three and that is success success so i need three minimum to heal so that means uh we'll heal um really yay at least um it's not injured anymore yep and i believe those are your actions those are my actions okay so that's all of the victims uh now we go to the events phase we draw one more event this will happen each round it's a dark curse and the evil gets one extra rage point so that's all i now have enough rage to do my death skill oh no so if i can move far enough to get onto anya's space i am going to remove her from the game so the wall ferranya comes down to this role sorry first i get a stamina yeah so we shall do my roll it's a two so head down to the board i am within right yeah one two that's my hunt action and now i'm going to do mimic body which is my death skill so it cost me an action it costs me all my rage yep remove one critically injured victim on the same tile and place a new shadow on that tile oh no i got 10 into your shadow turn into my minion i will add my new shadow here in the rock hill where anya meets her end and anya is out of the game yeah come down here anya is gone and flip the ball put that over ah so that is that is how the evil can kill the players in the game we're going to finish this one round play through here i as the evil only need to kill one more of the victims to win the game the victims need to they still need to search through these decks and find the bunker and ultimately complete that complete the operators here to meet the target on the bunker like we showed before a lot of the map is out they are pretty well protected away from cursed tiles and i've got a bit of effort to get around there so yes this game is not over yet by any stretch because you need to stop every time you go to the testile right you can't really go unless if you transport yourself yes yeah okay so we shall finish there thank you all for joining us we hope this
