They really liked Rogue Angels. As a whole it’s fantastic. Art is incredible. It has its own world with characters that you can bond with. Like a really good SciFi novel.

There are now 100 English language videos covering Rogue Angels (and another 20 in other languages). I created a 1 minute clip from each of the English language videos so you can get a quick overview of the MANY reviewers take on Rogue Angels! See the full list of video clips (most recent at the top) here:
The Chapter One Campaign book is 230 pages … and Board Game Officer has recorded a complete playthrough of that entire campaign (full of spoilers, of course).
Here are his videos in mission order:
Wurfel Reviews also really enjoyed playing Rogue Angels. He liked the card play with the Action Cards. And he totally liked how the missions were so varied! He enjoyed the mission where he needed to try going stealth. Also how you need to take care with interacting with items. Plus how there are different paths through the campaign. Everything is clear. Everything is good.

Here is a 30 minute video from The Dice Treasures that explains how Rogue Angels works… the action cards, the dice, the movement, range, line of sight, interaction, damage cards, healing and most of all … with the enemies :)
You can watch the full video here, but also (if you are like me) you will find a text article below the video window that provides the same information including time stamps to where the information is in the video (along with some added information that I might add as I go through the video with you)!
The Dice Treasures obviously spent HOURS preparing for this video (not to mention the hours spent learning the game). In my first few games that I played I discovered that I was making several “obvious” mistakes (they just weren’t obvious to me at the time). Plus in my games I kept forgetting to move the turn marker as well as forgetting which players had taken their turns (I forgot to flip the active tokens). So, as I am learning this game, I was excited to see this extremely detailed How To Play. In case others are using this video to explain the game flow, I am including notes about things that seem to have been forgotten (just like I forgot so many things)… but it just seems that forgetting is part of the game when we are starting it :)
If you are here to Learn With Me, then I will include a note where something was forgotten or misstated (I double checked with the game developer)
Video first (text with my added tidbits below it):
For information about the various components and how they are setup, watch the previous excellenty video which explains them:

This is an excellent overview of Rogue Angels and the video is extremely well done! It even includes the black dice (as planned for the final) and numbers on the standee bases (also planned for the final game). He totally enjoyed the game: Not very complex. Even inexperienced game players could enjoy this game. Notice the black dice and numbers on standee stands. 2 thumbs up!

Highlights:
The Dice Treasures has an excellent 24 minute video SETUP GUIDE for Rogue Angels. This video (with text below it) shows how to setup the game board, how to set up your characters, how to set up enemies. It explains what is found on your character sheets, action cards, dice, enemy behavior cards, damage cards and the game board.
You can watch the full video (viewer and link below), but also (if you are like me) you will find a text article below the video window that provides the same information including time stamps to where the information is in the video!
