How to Play Gloomhaven Part 1 (The Basics)

SPOILER: 7:26 I use the the back of an unlocked character mat (commonly known by the non-spoiler name Two Mini) to provide an example of the two numbers found in the bottom right corner of unlocked character mats. While this is technically a spoiler I felt it was a minor spoiler and one worth showing in order to provide maximum clarity for the concept I was teaching in that moment.
To be clear...nothing other than the back of the character mat is shown.Show more

CLARIFICATION: 17:41 I use a Null card from a Player Attack Modifier deck with a monster ability card to explain how the Null card works. Everything in the explanation is correct but players should note that only a Monster Attack Modifier Null card would have that effect on a Monster Ability card.
