Just got my box yesterday from kickstarter. Opened and sleeved every single card that same night. I love it so much. Every card feels good and smooth in the hands. All of them have a good amount of detail and weight to them. I’m so glad I helped fund this ridiculously fun game! Thank you so much
I love this game. It is nothing like I have ever played before and I don’t think there will ever be a thing like it. I have always been interested in things like dnd but haven’t had the patience or friends to do it with. I feel this is a much simpler version of classic table top board games while still being a fun experience. It’s clear you put a lot of effort into this and I can’t thank you enough for that. Great job
I've just received mine but have yet to play it. It seems in a very similar vein to my current favourite 'The Binding of Issac and the Four Souls'. I imagine this to be just as addictive once I get into it
Finally still have to wait quit a bit (I live in France) and i haven't received the mail yet. But this seems really promising. I really hope you will keep making videos about your game and not let it die.
It's an amazing game. The whole thing feels like Munchkin but somehow updated. Faster, less bad feels and more chaotic highs. Great game all around, wish I had the money for the expansion during the KS but will prioritize picking it up now!
I have the same fear, I'm very careful with my stuff. I have a friend that likes to do that poker shuffle. I already set boundaries tho haha. Fortunately the people il be playing with are adults. So it should be ok
Gameplay questions: Can I have more than one sword and choose which one I will use for a day's adventure? Or do I only get to have 1 one-of-a-kind sword at a time? Can I choose to purposely forfeit a monster combat? Or am I always forced to choose the maximal strength of my outfit and have my character try to win? Can I ever purposefully throw my cards into a trash pile (to prevent somebody from stealing it)? Or can I only do that if an effect instructs me to? Do curse timers tick down at the *end* of turn? Or the *start* of turn? (Will that distinction ever matter?) Do they tick down only on your turns? Or everybody's turns? Do these timers reset if the curse is transfered to another player?
The rulebook left me with a lot of questions that this video do not answer either. The rules clarification on the website perfectly answers all of them, but I can’t help but wish they were included in the booklet. I understand wanting to make the rules short and sweet, but it is missing some core gameplay concepts. Can’t wait for my first game tonight with the boys, I’m sure we’re gonna have a blast!
JUST GOT MINE YESTERDAY! The cards are so well made- I kickstarted a differebt game months ago and was disapointed but Circle Toons you went all out!!! Love this and playing today!
YOU MADE ONE OF THE COOLEST BOARD GAME BOXES I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!! More Board Games Should Make Expansion Boxes with Dope Designs like This ONE!!!!!!!!!
Love my Heroic edition, I purchased everything from the kickstarter. So glad I came across this game. I’m soo hyped to get on the table. Everything, cards, box, etc feel premium. Well done sir for going all out making sure it was top tier.
I’m still waiting for my copy of Fool’s Blade 😢. I bought this and the expansion immediately because this game looked incredible. Glad to see the Fools Blade content as I patiently await my copy 😃 Update: got my copy and expansion of Fool’s Blade. Patiently waiting to gather my friends and play this gem of a game 😎🔥
The game looks super fun and well made! But I live in the EU and the shipping is too expensive (more expensive than the game itself). It's unfortunate but I imagine that there isn't much that can be done about it
Just played the game for the first time today. Was a lot of fun! Hoping someone can provide confirmation for some rules: 1. When swapping parts in a weapon, do the previous parts get discarded or go back to your hand? 2. When using weapon parts, like the Gambler Blade Pommel, can you change the strength of monsters your opponents fight? 3. Which curse cards are considered as in your 'gear setup'?
Looks like I vastly improved Munchkin. And while I totally hate Munchkin both as a game and as a poor design concept, I would totally check this out because it seems to be constructed in a way that would mitigate a lot of Munchkin's flaws. Well done! 👍
We played tonight! Overall very enjoyable. Need some clarity on whether or not Trash piles should be face down or up. The wording on some cards make it seem like face down would make the most sense but there isn't clarification.
It’s been a while but I can’t wait to finally get my copy I’ve been checking the kickstarter every couple weeks or so and saw that’s it’s finally starting to arrive at peoples houses
Got mine yesterday and just played it for the first time and I have a few questions that I just could not seem to figure out from the rule book: 1. How does changing out the weapon work during the second phase (if this is even a thing I can do on my turn)? Do the cards that made up my sword get added back to my hand or do they go in the discard pile of the forge? 2. The placing unused forge cards on top of the deck felt slow and since we got to see the cards and they were parts no one playing wanted, we weren't too inclined to go back there unless forced. Just wondering if I'm missing something there. 3. For the 3 part boss, did we need to beat all three in one go or did we need to only go for one of them at a time? We did the latter as that seemed the most fair but there wasn't a ruling we could find. Bonus question: what's the purpose of the hidden compartment? I thought maybe storing cards in there but it was too small to stand them up but too much space if they were lying down. Other than that, fantastic game and I'm looking forward to playing more of it!
this is no way offical but heres my take, for 1 it goes back into your hand, if you watch the play through vod they take back the parts into their hands. 2, we had that same issue when playing for 2 player, so me and my friend decided to put it on the bottom, but homebrewing your own rules can work too. i think this rule is to help game progression in games with more players. 3. each boss has its own rule, but i think you are right where you can defeat them one by one. some boss gets bouns effects if the other part dies first, so that must be right. Im not sure what it is actually for but i use it as a dice storage and dices rolling box. Hope this give you some ideas on what to do.
@@eddietian5671 scanning the QR code takes you to some additional rules and you are right on 1 and 3. I did play this with 4 people and it still felt pretty slow, but I think we just had a bad shuffle and were stuck with all the guard cards at the top of the deck. I might try sticking them at the bottom, but my concern is that if a player is looking for a specific part and the person before them draws that part, suddenly it becomes unreachable. I might stick with putting it at the top and adding a house rule that before you draw from there, you have the option to shuffle the deck.
@CasualDeer thanks for that information on the QR code, I'll go check it out too, I'm finding some of the effect while ok in more player game, it doesn't feel as good when playing with 2 player so I'm trying to homebrew some thing atm
YOOO DIDNT EXPECT ANIMATIONS ON THE SECOND CHANNEL HELL YEAH!! is it by the same folks or did circle make it?? anyways cant wait for mine to arrive any day now
Played it a few times and it's great! Definitely used the rule clarification page from your website, but I didn't see anything about how gear breaking ability, like the coffee card, interacts with the gear card that makes it so your other gear can't be destroyed. Does this make coffee useless because you can't break it? Does this make coffee usable an infinite amount of times until the protective gear card is destroyed? Something else? Is there any difference between breaking and destroying? The glossary on the back doesn't expand on 'breaking' at all. Niche case, but I'm curious what people think! Or even Christian himself if he sees this
The cards look so good, the box has a clever design( too clever for me, I got everything during the kickstarter and all of it fits in the blade accept the mat, which doesn't fit in the guard which I don't know what it's for) the cards feel thick and high quality, the sleeves add some nice details without covering any art on the cards, I'm so looking forward to playing this with people. Seriously though, can someone help me with the box and mat
We're a little confused with fights that have Base Attack + Skull or loot. We kind of just decided to go if it has a skull be it then the attack increases by which area the monster is from and if it's loot then it's increasing it's attack by the amount of loot it's worth.
Very funny video but having played the game once already I can say that it's insufficient for knowing how to play the game. Also, a homerule my friend and I found useful is instead of selecting a class from all of the classes (of which there are dozens), to randomly draw 5 classes and select from them in reverse play order like shown in the video.
I also have a question about the rules that I can’t find in this video or the rule book, when you modify a weapon during the assembly phase, what do you do with the part you replace? Do you put it in your hand or do you discard it in its respective discard pile?
Two questions 1. What if you have 1 water power and are fighting a water monster? Is it treated as 1 or 0? 2. If you start the game during setup by drawing a curse card does it apply to you immediately?
Just got this, very excited. But would it be possible to have a single player rule set? Ill experiment to see if I can find a cool set of rules for this idea. I have little friends :(
Fool's Blade Gameplay Question: Is there a limit to the Gear or Gear Types one can have equipped in their Gear Setup? Source: Just played our first game (loved it), but I ended up having 3 different types of gloves equipped (Glue Gloves, Power Gloves, Juggling Gloves). It felt weird to gain the benefits of all three, but there's no mention in the instructions of a Gear limit. So, what's the verdict? Additionally, is it 2-4 players? There's no player limit in the instructions either, and the game feels like it could probably accommodate 6 with its deck size and variety.
Just got mine in! Don't have a spot to play right now, but I'm so hyped!
LUCKYYYYYYYY I'm still waiting
Got mine made my little brothers cry😎
NEW FOOLS BLADE CONTENT
Aw man, my college's tabletop games club is gonna LOVE this game once I get it
Just got my box yesterday from kickstarter. Opened and sleeved every single card that same night. I love it so much. Every card feels good and smooth in the hands. All of them have a good amount of detail and weight to them. I’m so glad I helped fund this ridiculously fun game! Thank you so much
Convinent that this launched the day after i got intrested in the game
lucky you
i waited for so long :)
Mine is on the way, super excited!!
Update: ITS HERE! ITS HERE! ITS HERE! ITS HERE! ITS HERE! ITS HERE!

Yep, I'm french and same here
ah, no, tout de triste 😭
The way he steadily sped up as the video went on just added even more character. I love it and am looking forward to playing. Thanks for this!
It's an amazing game. The whole thing feels like Munchkin but somehow updated. Faster, less bad feels and more chaotic highs. Great game all around, wish I had the money for the expansion during the KS but will prioritize picking it up now!
Hope mine arrives tomorrow, kinda hope family and friends don’t ruin the holo cards though.
I have the same fear, I'm very careful with my stuff. I have a friend that likes to do that poker shuffle. I already set boundaries tho haha. Fortunately the people il be playing with are adults. So it should be ok
@@littlebear1990a wash or a bridge shuffle?
Bridge lol, it makes me cringe hard especially with tcg or lcg games. Il.be incharge of all the shuffling tho lol@the_tale_adventures
@@littlebear1990 Yeah the poker shuffle with collectible cards is a death wish.
Got mine in today, it's go time!
So excited for this

YOU MADE ONE OF THE COOLEST BOARD GAME BOXES I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!!!!!!! More Board Games Should Make Expansion Boxes with Dope Designs like This ONE!!!!!!!!!
After waiting unpatiently we finally go ours. Let me tell we've been playing as a family for 2 days in a row & counting!! We love it!! Thank you!
Love my Heroic edition, I purchased everything from the kickstarter. So glad I came across this game. I’m soo hyped to get on the table. Everything, cards, box, etc feel premium. Well done sir for going all out making sure it was top tier.
Mine should be coming in any day now ❤ my girlfriend and I are super excited
My game finally arrived today! I am from Austria and I cant wait to convince everyone that it will be easy to understand
I just finished sleeving all the cards in the base game + expansion! Can't wait to play with my friends!
I’m playing this game for the first time tonight! This gives me major Munchkin vibes which is one of my all time favorite games so I’m excited!
Id never even watched this channel and yet I'm intrigued to buy
The CircleToonsHD channel is the BEST
Yeah let's go
My package is halfway here
Can't wait
ooooh
I love the mechanics!
very imaginative how to make the blade, I got a ton of ideas from it haha
Man I am so lucky that I will be able to play this tonight for the 1st time with my 3 other friends!
Just bought the game keep up the great work. It looks so fun.
The game finally arrived 😍 very helpful how to play 🙏
Sooo pumped for this!
I’m still waiting for my copy of Fool’s Blade 😢. I bought this and the expansion immediately because this game looked incredible. Glad to see the Fools Blade content as I patiently await my copy 😃
Update: got my copy and expansion of Fool’s Blade. Patiently waiting to gather my friends and play this gem of a game 😎🔥
Played my first game today with my kids and we have a blast.

Got my copy today, looks amazing!
Only actually found out about this on release day, I’m absolutely stoked!
I cannot wait to get my copy. Gonna break the rules and play the downed space marine alot lol
I have pre-ordered the full set and are waiting for it to be ready. Cant wait to try out this fun looking game with my friends.
This game. THIS GAME!!!! Awesome!!
The game looks super fun and well made! But I live in the EU and the shipping is too expensive (more expensive than the game itself). It's unfortunate but I imagine that there isn't much that can be done about it
Mine was at my doorstep today! I was not expecting it but so happy!!!
Mine should be showing up this week, shortly before my 1 week vacation with friends! We already planned on doing tabletop stuff, so I can't wait
Just played the game for the first time today. Was a lot of fun!
Hoping someone can provide confirmation for some rules:

Played my first game without this video. I made the MEGAsword. I refuse to elaborate.
Still haven't gotten by email yet, but I can't wait for it to arrive!
Can't wait to get my copy
I’m so hyped wooooooo let’s gooooo
So excited to play it with my friends, just waiting for my kickstarter heroic edition copy to start shipping!
Awesome! Let's get another playthrough video!!
Just got a notification that it's on it's way! Can't wait to play!!!
Looks like I vastly improved Munchkin. And while I totally hate Munchkin both as a game and as a poor design concept, I would totally check this out because it seems to be constructed in a way that would mitigate a lot of Munchkin's flaws. Well done! 👍
w video
Man this is very reminiscent of Four Souls in the fact that one turn will probably take several minutes holy
YES!
We played tonight! Overall very enjoyable. Need some clarity on whether or not Trash piles should be face down or up. The wording on some cards make it seem like face down would make the most sense but there isn't clarification.
from their old playthrough it seems like the discard pile are all face up. and a lot of the wording allows you to pick the one you want.
It’s been a while but I can’t wait to finally get my copy I’ve been checking the kickstarter every couple weeks or so and saw that’s it’s finally starting to arrive at peoples houses
Will it ship to England?
I'M SO HYPE
I wanted to get into Table Top games and I couldnt for the life of me figure out what / how to play this game based on the video.
i love mighty magiswords
So Munchkin x DND x Fire Emblem?
Sold. Just bought it.
Awesome idea man!
Hopefully mine arrives soon! The kickstarter card are gonna be epic!
This looks insanely fun, waiting for mine to arrive!
I like the guy with a gun card 😂😂😂😂

I'm so thirsty for more fool's blade content!!!
jooooo i love this concept.
Got mine today i can’t play rn but super epic!!!
Another playthrough video on this channel might be interesting, since some stuff has changed since the first one (notably the addition of bosses)
IM SO EXCITED
send me your game for free
I'm gonna send you something far more sinister and evil (2 games)
I cant wait for the game to come in the mail :)
The cards look so good, the box has a clever design( too clever for me, I got everything during the kickstarter and all of it fits in the blade accept the mat, which doesn't fit in the guard which I don't know what it's for) the cards feel thick and high quality, the sleeves add some nice details without covering any art on the cards, I'm so looking forward to playing this with people.
Seriously though, can someone help me with the box and mat
I am definitely getting this
We're a little confused with fights that have Base Attack + Skull or loot. We kind of just decided to go if it has a skull be it then the attack increases by which area the monster is from and if it's loot then it's increasing it's attack by the amount of loot it's worth.
this looks amzing. Hope i can get it in Greece
all that left it to get it
omg it took so long but its worth it (I hope)
My game is on its way! So hyped!
I am HYPED UP MAN!!
I love this games
This should be a video game
Anybody remember that one flash game called “Jacksmith”?
This sounds awesome, but nobody I know would play this game haha. Have you considered making it a mobile game?? Would be fun!
I can't wait to get mine!
Bro I can't wait to get my hands on this game
Very funny video but having played the game once already I can say that it's insufficient for knowing how to play the game.
Also, a homerule my friend and I found useful is instead of selecting a class from all of the classes (of which there are dozens), to randomly draw 5 classes and select from them in reverse play order like shown in the video.
Really hope someone can get this up on tabletop simulator so it can be accessed online too!
So!
When is a digital version coming to steam? 😂😂😂
Totally buying a hard deck for my family btw don’t think I’m only playing video games over here
I also have a question about the rules that I can’t find in this video or the rule book, when you modify a weapon during the assembly phase, what do you do with the part you replace? Do you put it in your hand or do you discard it in its respective discard pile?

The only thing I would add is refernce cards tbh but other than super good video
ITS HAPPENING,!!ITS FINALLY HAPPENINGGGG!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉
Sounds fun
