Description provided by Battle Bound on YouTube:

Battle Bound has a PATREON: Http://www.patreon.com/BattleBound If you learned something, sign up! Hey there, Cats and Kittens! I've seen a lot of questions about this game going around the space lanes, and I thought it would be a good time to see if I could take a crack at explaining it. I had the very good fortune to be on hand at Kerensky Con when this was accidentally released, and was able to be taught the barebones basics by some of the folks who had a hand in creating it. When I got home, thanks to a local friend, was able to continue to play more and more games to become familiar with it. There are several sections of the rules that can, admittedly, be challenging to understand at the first brush, and even I found myself getting caught up here and there during the course of getting things down pat. I feel like, with the crazy amount of games we've been playing, that I have an understanding of the rules - so I present them here AS I UNDERSTAND OR INTERPRET THEM. If I get a detail wrong here or there, try not to burn me alive on the cross, yeah? 😂🤗 What I learned at Kerensky was enough to come home and build off of, but it took a lot of trial and error to get to "what makes the most sense to me is..." 💀😂 I mean to say there's a lot of love in this video lmfao Anyhooz, let's get into the TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Intro and game setup 1:34 - The Black Market 2:29 - Contracts 2:51 - Encounters 3:27 - Your First Turn 5:29 - Defaulting a Contract 5:42 - The Escape Clause 6:04 - Getting Paid/Making Purchases 6:39 - Beyond Your First Turn 8:42 - Extending Contracts 10:58 - Stealing a Contract 15:12 - Noble Patronage & CENSURE 16:32 - All Other Command Cards 18:27 - WHAT DOES THAT MEAN? 21:12 - Dice Manipulation 21:38 - The Close, Mothers 22:31 - Sample Gameplay w/@JasonSkye ambiance

About Encounters: BattleTech, from BoardGameGeek:

It is the thirty-first century. For generations, the Great Houses of the Inner Sphere have been at war, squabbling over the scraps of the long-dead Star League. Centuries of fighting have led to the formation of countless mercenary commands willing to take on the tough missions that the Successor States can't-or wont'-take on themselves. These mercenary commands live and die by two things: the almighty C-bill and their reputation among their employers that they have what it takes to get the job done. Encounters: BattleTech is a fast-paced, push-your-luck dice and card game. Players act as mercenary commanders taking on contracts for the Great Houses. Defeating the enemies set to stop them earns C-bills to spend on the equipment needed to keep their unit afloat. If they defeat enough enemies, they'll complete their contract and gain the hard-earned reputation that all mercenaries seek. -description from the back of the box
