      If your jailer plays fair in the sense that he will never kill you out right in a single turn, then him creating like that happens you you beat him in one turn makes sense.

      It has nothing to do with winning in one turn. This is the game's response to you progressing too quickly through the "tutorial" section of the game. It has more mechanics to teach you, and doesn't want you to get too far through the game until it's done with them. Fisherman blocks you on your first run, and trapper blocks you on your second run. The blocks are gone on your third run and onwards.

    I haven't played it yet so this is just a guess, but when you have questions about the use of some cards, you need to think of them within the context of the game. Child 13 for instance, since it's a child, and a very valuable card, might evolve into something incredible if you apply to it the sigil from the wolf cub.

      child 13 is actually one of the only cards to have a unique reaction to the fledgling sigil!
      most cards will carry the "elder" prefix (i.e. elder opossum), and deathcards will gain no prefixes at all, however, child 13 will grow into a more powerful "child 14"

    @DirtPoorWargamer 2 года назад +13

    Just in case anyone is interested:
    It appears that the Angler always cheats on phase 2 if you get to him during the tutorial; it doesn't matter how many turns it takes to snuff out his first candle. With that said: it's actually possible to still win the fight. I don't know how many pathways are open, but if you have a pair of scissors and an hourglass, all you need is any card with an attack of 3 or higher to pull it off (I seriously almost picked a squirrel over the hourglass because I forgot he was going to cheat and planned for the normal fight, lol).
    Managed to get all the way to Boss 3 on the tutorial run, but didn't get through his first phase to see if he cheats as well (mediocre draw paired with crippling accidental misplay turn one). Just a side note: my death card from that run is a free 1/6 with Many Lives I named Scapegoat.

      Actually thats not whats happening. The game just forces you to lose to each of the three bosses of the tutorial.
      The death cards and exploring the cabin are important. Beating the the guy actually achieves you nothing without you doing a lot of the cabin progression.
      Once you reach a boss and die to it, the bear thing never happens again no matter how quickly you beat them.

    You can actually win that multi bear fight. I think you need a squirrel in a bottle though because you need to drop wolf first turn (and use it to chump block the bear) and then follow it up with a two damage unit the next turn. You could just buff the wolf or a one damage unit to make it more consistant. Not actually reliable but more so. I'm also concerned about how easy it might be to get 5 damage cards since they are basically an instant win button if you can play them before your opponent deals damage. I had a lot of fun with the demo though can't wait to try out more story, cards, puzzles, etc.
