You only had to roll 1 di for the Traitorous Guards I love the mental imagery of the assassins showing up, immediately taking a blow to head and keeling over in the subsequent round

I ordered this after this review, all in! I couldn’t resist

I want to take my corner clip around those cards off

I have a question: If an ability says "heal 3", is it JUST for yourself or can you give the healing to another player? The ability you showed at 1:05:02 shows "Target player heals 1"

Oh good. The Monk! I wasn't sure how to play this guy. Now I patiently wait for your play through on all the others. Like the farmer and the demon hunter. *nudge nudge, wink wink*

Nice review. I think it's great that the game can be enjoyable at a solo level and at a party level. It provides different approaches to how to handle obstacles.

My game arrived. Re watched your video. Quick question. You showed an example. Power allows you to change 3 dice by 1. So you have to change 3 dice. As you said. You can't change 2 and be like eh. I don't need to change the 3rd. But since you have to change 3 here's my question. Can you use this power on other players? If yes. Does it have to all apply to that 1 player? Another words. Have one player change the value of 2 dice, and have a different player change the value of 1 die. You now fulfilled the rules of the power by change 3 dice. Just spread across 2 players. Or heck. Can 3 players change just 1 die each? As I'm typing this now I wonder. The Samurai has heal 2. This can be used on any player I assume. But can it be spread out among other players? 2 players each heal 1. So technically you are healing 2 EDIT: just saw the part of your video heal works on anyone. But can you spread it out?

I can not believe I have watched over 3 hours of KZbin videos on this game lol. I think I'm just trying to talk myself into spending the $90. I saw they mentioned on FB if you reach out to them they will give you a code to knock off shipping if in the US.. I need to get around to messaging them anyway. Because I think I read somewhere when these big boxes are sold out they're going to smaller boxes and cards. And it won't be 12 characters anymore. I think they are removing some. I like the bigger cards honestly. So i need to find out if this is true. I'm also wondering how future expansions will work. Are they going to be smaller cards? My OCD is going to hate that. EDIT: Forgot the reason I was leaving a comment. I wanted to say this is by far the best video I have seen on this game so far. There's another one that does a full play through that's really good. But this one covered the rules.

This is a fantastic video. You covered everything! Thank you so much for making this. Just one thing I wanted to correct, is that you need to defeat all the monsters in a combat round to unexhaust the two cards. There are some cases in the game where you are fighting more than one monster at once. Ruby King Rizardo for example has a duplicate guard fight. The summoner deck is one constant battle.

I found this review very informative. Thanks for your hard work here!

This review sold me on the game. Thank you for giving a thorough and honest review. I want to build a small collection of games in this style and this is a good way to start I feel.

I found this video as a random recommendation. I knew absolutely nothing about this game before clicking. Here I am now strongly considering getting my hands on this game right now as I'm looking at cyber wizard's website Thank you so much for the clear, consistent, and honesty with this review.

Thanks for posting this absolutely brilliant and extremely thorough review! It seems this game is everything I hoped it would be and more! Now I really can't wait for my copy to show up!

One of the designers here. mrmoondog, this review is absolutely awesome! You walk through all of the different aspects of game design, from the components, to the instructions, to the gameplay, and you provide not only your opinion, but also comparison points to other games and explanation for your thoughts. Thank you, sincerely, for such a thoughtful review! I'm so happy that your experience with Catharsis has been so positive. And wait until you see some of our ideas for expansions-we're already working on at least 8 more characters and some very different boss deck ideas so you can have keep enjoying the game for years to come!

I loved every minute of your review, including the negatives and will be sure to fix that next print run. It seriously brings me so much joy to see the game in the hands of the people who supported us.

Great in-depth review! You explained it very well!

Fantastic review! The game seems really fun and I'm very excited to get my copy. Have you thought about making a separate video for rules or just make rules videos for games in general? You are really awesome at breaking down.
