    For explorer of the Woodlands, I backed it because in France we can back it for 15€ and then pay the other 15€ to a partner shop once it's delivered there, no shipping, so, in this case, that's a good value.

    Lawyer Up Season 2, Sleeping Gods, and The Great Wall (if you want the meeple version) all seem to be retail buys for me.

    I've backed Bedeville Carnival and Sleeping Gods no questions. Yesterday I backed Explorers of the Woodlands because I like idea of an accessible child-friendly dungeon crawler.

    About Assault on Doomrock. I own and played versiin 3.0 or something like that. This one should be 4.0. Art and humor are awesome. Rulebook wasn't that bad. Adventure phase is quite fun, and could be fine pretty fast. Fights works well.
    On the negative I would say that it was way more difficult that I expected for game that size. I played two characters solo and always had hard time to defeat even first encounter.
    It's like Valor&Villany artstyle and somewhat Kingdoms Forlorn gameplay (adventure and combat phase) with lots of dice rolling (for tests on adventures and to activate abilities).
    It worked quite well on TTS so You can try it that way.

    Assault on doomrock ultimate edition is on tabletop simulator to try out to see if you like it. The "shorter" (from my understanding) really is that you can save after each fight and/or you can skip the adventuring phase to just do the boss rights. I'm backing it but it's definitely not for every one.

I think there's plenty of games I'm more excited about that I've already backed and I feel that Doomrock will be disappointing in comparison.

    Alex, I belong to the kind of people that will try to persuade you to back assault on doomrock. The game has no miniatures. No board. It has much randomness even in the character progression. Because it has a ton of abilities and you only get three to choose from. It is challenging to the bone. But I love it very much. I selled my older copy to back this one. I anticipate the new version. I'm not sure if it is a game for you. You love miniatures and poppy things... It's not that. It has another kind of crazy charmness... ❤️❤️❤️

    "Anastyr is doing just fine"? Hmmm, I really don't think so, look at the number of SGs unlocked so far. I think it's a big disappointment for Mythic Games, although they won't admit it.

    Assault on Doomrock:
    From what I've seen, for me the split between the adventure and combat part looks too disruptive for me.
    First for like 20 minutes or more you go to the different locations to gear up.
    Then the combat starts, which while unique, doesn't appeal to me.
    I don't see a possibility for the game to flow well when you have to switch between the adventuring and combat all the time.

    Everything is garbage! Why back anything? It's all a giant trap of endless acquisition. I already have quite a few games I haven't fully explored, so how can any of these projects compete with that? Maybe if you didn't already have some game mechanism or something. But tbh nothing is doing anything for me.

      Oh just you wait :) I have a video going up this week that's exactly covering this topic :)
