Pitch video - “At the Helm” Game Overview

Watch “Pitch video - “At the Helm” Game Overview,” a how-to-play guide for At the Helm from Ted Heidersdorf on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Ted Heidersdorf on YouTube:

A brief overview of my solo 18–card deck building game called “At the Helm”. Captain your sailboat through various challenges of the open ocean! It’s now available for purchase at Button Shy and PnPArcade: https://buttonshygames.com/collections/current-collection/products/at-the-helm https://www.pnparcade.com/products/at-the-helm **NOTE: I made this video with a prototype during the design process. Since making the video, I've swapped the order of turn steps 2 & 3 in the rule book - I think that's a bit more natural. Thanks to playtester Reed for this suggestion and to all the playtesters!

About At the Helm, from BoardGameGeek:

The sea is a dangerous place. Whether it's storms or sea serpents, you're putting your life on the line each time you set sail. Boldly face the challenges of the open ocean as you steer your ship into uncharted waters. At the Helm is a heavy nautical theme game inspired by the old captain's ship logs. Often in these ship logs you'd see drawings and we used that as inspiration. It's solo and it's a deckbuilder. Over a series of turns, build a deck and use it to complete the three selected challenges before you run out of time or health. Turns proceed as follows: 1. Choose 1 or 2 cards from your hand. For each chosen card, either resolve its ability and place it in the discard pile, or discard it (ignoring its ability). 2. Resolve the effects of incomplete challenges. 3. Draw cards form the deck until you have 3 cards in hand. Take 1 damage for each broken heart. If the market and deck both run out of cards and you need to draw a card, or your health reaches the skull and bones, you lose the game. Otherwise, when you complete the win conditions of the selected challenges, you win the game! -description from the publisher A 15 minute game in which you captain your sailboat through various challenges of the open ocean. -description from the designer
