How to play video


Pathfinder Adventure Card Game General Discussion


You guys really should make a YouTube tutorial on the game.

Not every person absorbs the information as well via reading(for example, I am a more visual learner). Most new games anymore have a YouTube tutorial and I think this game could definately benefit from it considering the rule book is a rough read which is sad considering that it's pretty small. I have to tell you I've read it twice and have absorbed very little.


They do!

We did!

And there are many other tutorial videos online. Check out this YouTube channel I put together.

Crits Happen also has a good series. I really like the way Tox talks his way through the game.

The very best video in terms of learning how the game works is the one by Tox of Crits Happen. Check it out.

Grey Elephant's three session set is also very decent.

I really liked the Crits happen run through. He took the time to explain how things work and didn't just make rolls. The errors he had the put in text edits to correct them. Overall, the best I have seen to date.


At this time, all the playthrough videos have many situations that don't occur, in which there are many questions (such as more than one hero being at the same location for one example).

Tutorial videos (like Mage Wars did) would really help a lot of players (and also get a lot of people off the fence about buying the game too).


So, Paizo did indeed make a video detailing the game. But why is it not on the first page of the PACG game? Why is it buried in the messageboard?

I would have though that Paizo would put these videos forward so that new players could learn to play.

Now, of course all these videos are available on BGG, but "Gasp", not everyone knows what BGG is.

It seems to make sense to me.

Regardless, we have started a 5 player campaign, and we love it. Congratulations Mike and the others on a great game.


I'd advise watching more than one vid as well - you get a different perspective from different games because they will cover different situations. Also, in at least one of the videos I've seen, the guys are using the blessings deck wrong, acquiring cards from it if a BoG turns up.


Even more reasons to make perhaps a series of videos for this game, similar to what Fantasy Flight Games does with some of their more complicated games where each step in the game is explained clearly in a separate video.

I have been maintaining a YouTube playlist of all the Pathfinder ACG videos I've seen. There are 88 so far. You might enjoy some of them.

We'll add a link to Mike's playlist to the main PACG page.
