Watch “Unboxing The Little Death Board Game | Lumberjacks Studio | plus the Expansions | François Bachelart,” a board game unboxing on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Fun With Boxes on YouTube:

Welcome to Fun with Boxes, Episode 286: Unboxing the Board Game: The Little Death from designer François Bachelart and publishers Lumberjacks Studio - plus unboxing all the expansions!! Your objective is to be the first player to earn your Reaping Diploma by achieving four objectives. During the game, each player has characters in their area that grow, age, develop personalities, and acquire skills. Guide your characters gently to their ‘natural death’ to increase your chances of achieving the objectives. You can also reap opponents’ characters with Reap cards that meet the requirements and weakness symbols on their cards. Reaping opponents’ characters is easier but less rewarding as you’ll have to share the won cards. Other players will target your characters. Some cards with strength symbols protect your character from similar weaknesses, making them harder to reap. The box contains different Diplomas with varying levels of play, from Easy to Expert, to suit all types of players. I hope you enjoy Take care - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - If you like watching How to Play videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi673oETge0oaXJZQ7_ZeOA3eynAymOPB If you like Unboxing videos: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi673oETge0psAjTk16xH8eBLfsEi9-ti If you like Top 10 Lists: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi673oETge0pE3ErGfWh0jVKok0LRDUoR If you like Board Game Conventions: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLi673oETge0paLAFnx377jWXQlYTlqfGc - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - RULES OF PLAY I am super thrilled that Rules of Play continue to offer my viewers a 10% discount at their online store.

About La Petite Mort, from BoardGameGeek:

In the world of the dead, the Death reaps human souls when their lives are to end. After a long labor, it will (finally) give up its position to a new Grim Reaper who will have followed a meticulous training… 'You are a “Little Death” … and you are going to get your Reaping Diploma! Your goal is to be the first player to obtain your Reaping Diploma by achieving 4 of the objectives shown on the Diploma. During the game, each player will have characters in their playing area who will be born, grow, age, enrich their personalities or acquire skills that will bring them strengths and weaknesses throughout their lives. You will see your characters live and guide them gently on their Deathbed to the liberating Reap. It is by guiding your characters to their “natural death” that you will have the best chance of achieving the objectives required to get your Diploma. You will also be able to reap opponent's character with Reap cards. To do so, a Reap card must meets requirements, weakness symbols, that must be present on the targeted character cards. Reaping your opponent's characters is easier, but it's less rewarding because, in this case, you'll have to share the won cards with one or more of your opponents. The characters in your playing area will therefore be targeted by other players. Some cards with strength symbols will protect your character from another similar weakness symbol. They will be be harder to reap! Different levels of play are available in the box through different Diplomas to obtain. From Easy to Expert level, Diplomas will suit all types of players, from casual to expert! ••• La Grande Faucheuse moissonne les âmes arrivées au terme de leur existence. Après bien des moissons et des vies fauchées au cours de son interminable carrière, il est temps pour elle de laisser (enfin) sa place à une nouvelle Faucheuse, qui devra d'abord suivre une formation rigoureuse… 'Vous êtes une «Petite Mort» … vous allez passer votre Diplôme de Fauche ! Votre but sera d'être le premier à obtenir votre Diplôme de Fauche en remplissant 4 objectifs présents sur celui-ci. Pendant la partie, chaque joueur disposera, dans sa zone de jeu, de personnages qui vont naître, grandir, vieillir et enrichir leur personnalité ou acquérir des aptitudes qui vont leur apporter des forces et des faiblesses pendant leur vie. Vous verrez vos personnages vivre et les accompagnerez en douceur sur leur Lit de Mort, jusqu'à la fauche libératrice. C'est en accompagnant vos personnages jusqu'à leur «Belle mort», que vous aurez le plus de chances de réaliser les objectifs requis pour votre diplôme. Vous pourrez également Fauchez les personnages de vos adversaires grâce aux cartes Fauche. Pour se faire, tous les picots Faiblesse requis par la carte fauche devront être présent sur les cartes du personnage ciblé. C'est plus facile, mais cela rapporte moins car, dans ce cas, vous devrez partager les cartes gagnées avec un ou plusieur adversaires. Les personnages de votre zone de jeu vont donc être la cible des autres joueurs. Certaines cartes apporteront des picots Force qui annuleront une faiblesse identique, protégeant ainsi votre personnage. Il sera plus difficile à Faucher! Différents niveaux de jeux sont présent dans la boîte via différents diplômes à obtenir. Du niveau Facile à Expert les diplômes conviendront à tout type de joueurs, d'occasionnel à expert !!
