Keep the Heroes Out!: Playing with Fire & Underground Market - Unboxing

Watch “Keep the Heroes Out!: Playing with Fire & Underground Market - Unboxing,” a board game unboxing on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by David Niecikowski, PhD on YouTube:

Keep the Heroes out: Playing with Fire Emberlings are little firebrand monsters, eager to turn your dungeon into a smoldering ruin. Playing with fire sounds fun, but with these hot-headed pyromaniacs you'll need to plan ahead - or you'll be calling your dungeon insurance company real soon! Beware! Hugging an Emberling is a guaranteed way to get burned! Additionally, since fire is treated as a resource, warriors are tough enough to extinguish two Fire meeples upon their arrival. After all the Emberlings have played their tactic cards, but before the heroes' phase, you must resolve the following for each Fire in a room (including those with an Emberling): Deal 1 Damage to a hero Discard a resource Deal 1 damage to a monster If a room has no more flammable objects, the fire burns out and you must remove the Fire or Emberling meeple from the dungeon and return it to your supply. The Playing with Fire! Expansion includes 3 promo-packs: The Quijote pack, the Year of The Dragon Pack and the Very Jolly Pack. Keep the Heroes Out!: Underground Market This includes 5 neoprene gamemats, out of these 4x Monster Lairs (24x20 cm) and 1x Market (50x25cm) properly stored in a box with a plastic tray. The Monster Lair mats are are divided in between the draw pile, the active cards and the discard, also featuring a dedicated space for your monster clan card and meeples. Meanwhile the Underground Market brings some quality of life features, as it includes 50+ cardboard tokens, making it possible for you to easily keep track of the rooms heroes were already spawned during a game of Keep the heroes out to make more informed decisions. #keeptheheroesout #playingwithfire #keeptheheroesoutplayingwithfire #undergroundmarket #keeptheheroesoutundergroundmarket #cooperativegames #dungeoncrawl #bruehgames #kickstartergames #davidniecikowski Keep the Heroes Out! playing with fire underground market dungeon crawl cooperative board card deck building kickstarter expansion game julie david niecikowski
