    Everyone comment "Thank You Josiah" for rendering this video for us in the deep annals of the night last night so we could get this out on time. Thank you, Josiah!

    May the algorithm gods be kind to you, cause this is a ridiculously polished and interesting video for such a small channel

      Thank you! If you want other high quality informational white noise, we've been told the rest of the Zepisodes are premium background sounds for work/studying.

    this is so well scripted, researched, and edited. It deserves way more views - thanks for putting this together for us!

      Aw thanks! Here's hoping that people share it around and it catches the algorithm.

    Looking at these cards makes me think twice about calling cards in modern TCGs a “wall of text” 😅

    Well I guess I'll cross this off of the list for games I eventually need to talk about. Looks like you pretty much got it covered lol.

    This game actually reminds of "Swordquest" in a few ways. Mainly with the ways you need to solve genuine clues and riddles to earn treasure as a reward. Except in Swordquest, the treasure was real, and actually worth thousands of dollars. Even the ultimate grand prize, a golden sword, makes you feel infinitely more like a "king" or an "emperor" than just another piece of cardboard does. Lastly, thank you Josiah.

      Woah, I'm looking into Swordquest right now. This is wild stuff!

      I have some terrible news for WotC about what a weapon does.

    Me: Oh, 30 years ago? Didn't knew there was such TCG in the 70s-wait, what do you MEAN 30 years ago is 90s?!

      Time is cruel and mean. But also it brought us Mazica party so like. Time is weird and unjust, too. Thanks for watching!

    All of this is super cool; it also kind of sucks. But it's very cool. There's bones of something absolutely incredible here - outside of a study piece.

    • @thedaftbrothers

      BattleCards proves that "incredibly intelligent" and "blazing dumpster fire" are not mutually exclusive descriptors.

  • @DanielElicker

    I'm confused about the Jester's Quest bit. You said about some apparent hints for the quest that included "one not found on a card at all" but the card says nothing to that effect? Also you say they lied to you but it says 5 locations and you have 5 cards so am I just missing something here?

    • @thedaftbrothers
      @thedaftbrothers  Год назад +1

      A secrets card says only 4 of the symbols are to be found on cards and the fifth is elsewhere. The intended solution was 4 cards and the pack wrapper, but there were 5 cards with symbols, so it's confusing of that was intended or not.
