NOTE: To my knowledge, there are four versions of this expansion: (1) Japanese 1st printing, (2) Japanese 2nd printing, (3) Simplified Chinese, and (4) the Salt & Pepper printing. I own the Japanese 1st printing version. When filming this, I was unaware that the Japanese 2nd printing had some minor changes, making it more difficult. Here is a link to the list of changes that have been made: boardgamegeek.com/thread/3147784/
Ooh, beat me to it, mine's coming soon too! Also, looks like the Jaoanese version already had the updates made, as my copy already has all the changes you listed on BGG, and yeah, its not easy at all...
4:17 YOOOO, wait a sec. Look at this staff positioning!, my game version has the white robe where the black staff is, and the black staff where the white staff is. And presumabely the white staff where the white robe is in your version. Such a simple change, but it changes the game SO MUCH! There is a loot card that gives you the white staff, the thing is, because of the changed starting positions you can always get the white staff imidietly after the first fight, making the white staff loot card kind of redundant. It does make sense why they would want to put the whitre staff closer to the starting position, because of how its ability wokrs, but they should have changed the loot card as well, to the blacks staff maybe.
Ok. I just cannot. Why is that map and crystals so fun and make this feel distinct? There's some heresy and dark magics going on with this games simplicity. It has no right to that 🤣
I think it’s all of those things combined: the map, the demon stacking, the equipment, the map, the crystals. It’s a lot more varied and fun as you can go on a different path each time and see a different demon each time. Each fight feels like a big boss fight-like Shadow of the Colossus. But yeah, it’s kind of ridiculous how it does all this with just 32 more cards!

Can’t wait to see your video! Damn. I guess I’m just an early adopter. I’ll have to get my hands on those updated cards.

Hahaha. Good eye! I have the OG printing. The printing you have has been updated to make the game harder-and better in my opinion 👍
