This was a fantastic review I feel I have a real grasp of this game. I have no fitness so I was on the fence to buy this but you sold it to me. Thank you!
I like the look of this a lot. Been looking for some good solo table top games (due to the pandemic, and also to having precisely zero friends who like this sort of thing). Just ordered bag of dungeon, thought I'd start simple as it's been so long since I've played anything, will definitely make this my next buy though.
@@HellfishX88 well I did tell myself I wasn't gonna buy any more games until set a watch came, but I've been waiting for that for months now and it's still not been restocked, and that does look pretty good so I might get it soon.
When picking up item catds, they are not assigned automatically to a character. The group decides who gets what...even in a solo game. Draw all item cards first and then decide as a group (or you decide in solo) who gets what.
Is this game worth it if you already have a game like Four Against Darkness? I'm a fan of that game, and this game seems to be tad similar. Not the same obviously, but seems to be simple enough like 4AD
Thank you for the video I think The cards are really great and the game interesting. My only doubt is if I can play the game again and again or once you have played and knew the cards is not funny anymore
I'm confused... The video is entitled "How to solo"... but you are basically playing as 2-players, by yourself. That is not what I'd call "solo" gameplay. I can play any 2-player game like this. Are you playing co-operatively? I don't get this.
We simply have a different understanding of what constitutes solo play. As far as I'm concerned, if you are gaming by yourself, it's solo gaming. Playing two-handed is necessary in this particular game, because you need the complementary skills of two characters in order to succeed.
Once again you knock it out of the park! Thank you for your contributions to the gaming community, YOU ROCK!!!
Thank you. Clear, easy, and appreciate giving what was needed and letting us figure it out.

Going to pick this up for sure! love the theme. almost reminds me of dark souls the video game in a way.
Fantastic explanation
I totally should have backed this. And dang! Those cards are huge!
They really are. Do they even make sleeves that big?
...totally was looking through forums for that intel. hehe
They're going to start making sleeves for them soon. :)
It's back on Kickstarter!
really helpful thankyou
I just played my first game of this. It was darn fun. I died but made it pretty far. I need to learn when to rest a character
You take only one item card after successful combat, not one per player. (Page 9 rulebook)
Thanks!
