Talking About Games video review of Escape the Dark Czar set for Flintloque

Following on his video review of our FL22 Adventurers Party it was my pleasure to view Talking About Games new review of the beginners box set for Flintloque the Skirmish.  5024 Escape from the Dark Czar is a jumping off point for those who want to play some black powder fantasy set in the World of Valon.  My thanks to Abraham of 'TAG' channel and I will point out that we gave the box set to TAG for free but we had no input in the review.

The review lasts for thirty five minutes and covers many different aspects of Escape from the Dark Czar.  They look at the miniatures, the dice, the bases, the booklet and then spend time on the background of the game and the characters.  A play through of the first scenario in the booklet follows and walks through the game mechanics.  It is an excellent impartial review.  If you want to get into Flintloque then this is the set for you and it made me smile that Abraham got that immediately and was then keen to expand his play.

A play through of the second scenario in the Escape the Dark Czar booklet! Click to view. Enjoy this one and see how Abraham gets the survivors through 'Let them Eat Soup for there is not Enough Bread to Live' which is all about collecting vital food from an abandoned Cart (we used our 59524 Abandoned Goods Wagon for this).  Excellent and I look forward to seeing the play through of the third scenario.

Here is more on Escape the Dark Czar and the free resources that exist for it.

We have a new page on the website called Beginning in Flintloque which is quite sparse presently but it will fill up with codes and free resources, such as this review video, giving a way into the vast World of Valon as we release more miniatures and other things which follow on from 'Escape the Dark Czar'.  Things on this page are your start with the game.

Thanks for viewing!
