I have watched a dozen (likely more) walk throughs (play throughs) and this was the best. Some of them made mistakes (actually most of them) … which is good and bad.  Bad, because they showed you how to do something incorrectly. But, GOOD, because then you should not feel bad if YOU make a mistake playing the game. After all, the person making the video was supposedly an expert at the game (more or less) and they made mistakes … so you can feel better if you do too :) Even The Mountain Gamer (with the BEST playthrough) did make some mistakes (see the comments below each video for more about that)… but in my own playthrough I found that I was making mistakes too.

Now you are ready for …. the best playthrough of This War of Mine:

Some mistakes (far less than **I** make in my games :)

• Part 1 (linked in video above)

If you’d like to see how HIS game ends … here are links to the rest of the videos for this walk through:

• Part 2
• Part 3
• Part 4
• Part 5
• Part 6
• Part 7
• Part 8

Yeah … seeing that there are 8 parts, we kind of know that he doesn’t lose the game… at least until the eighth video! :)

And a screenshot from the first video in the 8 video series (so you can see how it looks):

In their official Update #4, Awaken Realms provides a chart listing all the components that are part of the 1st Edition Kickstarter, 1st Edition Retail, 2nd Edition and the Upgrade Pack. Read the full update here:

=> Official Update #4

Here are the two charts … first the chart of the Core Game:

And now … the  Add Ons chart:

At first I was hesitant at spending money for Sundrop. After all, the miniature itself was the same! What could be the difference!?

Then I saw this as part of Marcin’s unboxing of Etherfields:

Wow … it is like one is a rough draft and the Sundrop is the final version!

Pledge for estimated August 2026 delivery by May 15, 2025 1pm:

YES! Awaken Realms is re-releasing this game as a 2nd Edition complete with a new expansion with even more stories! You can “follow” it now until it is officially on Gamefound:

=> The War of Mine 2nd Edition

Hopefully I may get a better image of the Rubble Die card from Awaken Realms (maybe even properly sized to print and sleeve), but meanwhile for anyone who just received their Rubble Die but did not get the Rubble Die card with it here are images of the front and back which you may be able to properly size and print … and below them is my attempt at resizing them to fit a standard card sleeve PLUS a Large Print Size Card PDF.

Front:

Back:

Here is my attempt to get the card resized to fit a standard 64x89mm sleeve:

=> Rubble Die Card resized (PDF)

And here is a LARGE PRINT version of the Rubble Die card – just print and fold the whole page in half for a half page reference card that is easier to read (for those of us with not so perfect vision):

Here is a website with suggested background music to listen to while playing This War of Mine:

=> Melodice (This War of Mine)

Here is an example of how it looks on your computer:

You can start the music from within Melodice … or have it send the full playlist over to YouTube for you. You also can suggest a new track to add to the list (typically without words / lyrics).
