5 Reasons you SHOULDN'T Back X men Dice Throne Missions

[@ptastydactyl]

I've been waiting to pull the trigger on Dice Throne for awhile now. There are so many I never knew where to start. I was completely unaware of this campaign until it launched and I immediately knew that this was a no-brainer. When I clicked on the KS trending page it was like the clouds had opened up and angels started singing. It was a sign... that my life would never be the same again. So I backed it.

[@williamblack6912]

It's too late for me...chough....keep strong...I regret nothing!

[@davidautinify]

i think the sweet spot for this campaign, assuming you already have some DT characters, is getting ONLY the missions. like DTA, the missions may not be available in B&M stores, meaning it may only be available on their website, which means it will be price-controlled. so the KS may be the best price you'll see for a while, if not ever. everything else is going to be available cheaper at retail.

[@matthewanderson8402]

I was excited to hear about missions but after looking at a gameplay preview I am very disappointed. It looks like it has almost zero replayability with very few ways to complete each mission. Once again like adventures it’s basically just “fight these small enemies in order and then fight the boss” and the actual game board will add nothing to the experience. It’s so sad because adventures sounds perfect but it’s such a flawed experience. It’s just worse to split the party so my group just all stays together and fights the enemies one at a time. Some of the enemies just deal so much damage too we end up hoping we roll healing on the loot table instead of the actual loot. The portal tiles don’t add any feeling of adventure all it does is “what random bullcrap effs you over this turn” just so disappointing

[@YorkoCM]

You actually did talk me out of Missions. That last argument of keeping co op for actual dedicated co op games 100% sold me, I enjoy my Marvel Dice Throne retail copy very much and it doesn't go to the table as much as I would like to it definitely wouldn't justify me to get it, might just get a better (cheaper, and now at retail) co op game right now. Thank you once more good sir.

[@shardeus8637]

I found this channel because of the last dice throne 5 reasons , was sharpening my pitchfork and oiling my torch as I started watching ….

[@Xerilian]

I will preface this with how biased I am. I never heard of DT until the Santa V Krampus campaign. I loved the look of it so I went ALL IN on that campaign and got Season 1, Season 2, and DTA with it (as well as the painted minis). So I have 18 characters. I wasn't able to get Marvel during the SvK campaign and I was holding off on getting it. I'm glad I did because I went ALL IN on this campaign as well to get Marvel, X-Men, and Missions, as well as all the goodies. Couple little bits to comment on your video: 1) Yes, it's a 1v1 game at heart but that doesn't mean you have to play it that way. I brought it all over to a friend's place to introduce them to it. We did a 4-player Free For All. The group didn't really enjoy it. We then did a session of Dice Throne adventures and everyone LOVED it. Perhaps the issue your girlfriend has is the same a lot of people have - they don't like competitive games. I strongly suggest you get DTA and try that out (or Missions) as it makes the game much more enjoyable for everyone. 2) The Battlechests from KS are different than the ones from retail. You get KS exclusive dice which have swirls or something in them. As well, some of the tokens are 'fancier' (Like Thor's hammer is metal, which you can't get from the retail version. In the end, I've spent way too much money on Dice Throne stuff.... with no regrets! :)

[@shortydancer]

As someone who does not care for games on kickstarter, these videos remind me that i’m not missing out on anything, while also keeping me informed. And by informed, i mean me on my high horse looking down on kickstarter plebs 😂

[@RoomandBoardReviews]

That's the real purpose of them anyway :)

[@georgeschneider2702]

was totally an Instant Back for me. You didnt talk me off the ledge this time. :) but thank you for trying!

[@joelface]

Missions is actually SO fun. I love the feeling of playing dice throne but with a shared goal.. a challenge you get to work on and try your best on with others. Unlike some co-op games, there is still a LOT of personal decisions so that there is no single quarterback, and there are also lots of random elements that keep it fresh and un-solvable. For example, the positioning of the crisis clock at the beginning of the mission can REALLY influence which enemy group you go after first. As well, the specific heroes you have may affect your choices. If you hit very hard, you might take on a certain enemy on your own, or you might find that you do better teaming up for your hits. The board layout and the specific puzzle of each different mission really affects things too. Then, on top of that, there are additional difficulty levels you can play a mission on, so that it feels unique and interesting, even after you've leveled up your perk sheet. I find that all extremely fun and satisfying.

[@DarthVader19991]

Waiting for your take on the newly released on gamefound The Witcher: Path Of Destiny

[@stevenlee4367]

Scroll all the way down the page and you’ll see the retail plans. And it will be the same price to get all the characters less shipping. I’m waiting for retail outside missions

[@m.m.2341]

This is not true, if you're not in the US, though.

[@Mr47the]

But do you get the extra missions that are unlocked with funding goals on the KS?

[@m.m.2341]

@@Mr47the well sure. What I mean is that Dice Throne does not really go to retail in Europe. It's always imported or localized version which take forever to be released. And if you do an expensive import from their website, you might as well do it now.

[@stevenlee4367]

Yeah definitely consider where you are from, for me in the us it is available in several stores and easily accessible and frequently on sale. As well as the promo pack is typically a couple cards for each hero which is also available on the dice throne website which is easily available for me in the us. As for missions the same should be true in terms of it being available on their website and same with the promo pack but I am in fact getting missions here because it does bundle in the missions promo, it won’t be at normal retail, buying it from their site would also incur shipping so I feel like it is worth backing here. I also have every hero already out so I am not in a rush to get more heroes not put much care into it being in a battle chest which retail will not be in. Not trying to push anyone one way or another but wanted to point out their retail plans at the bottom for those of who it is relative to

[@atuthaj]

You talked me down!… from the missions mode. I Gotta play gambit though so getting the characters

[@EM-pn5kq]

Same. If it wasn't for gambit, I'd pass. I'd be getting missions mainly for solo, but it doesn't seem to scale well solo. I watched a playthrough. Because of the number of enemy dice, the results are more likely to be an extreme. Always trigger the bad stuff or almost never trigger the bad stuff. So I'll probably pass on that

[@SlovoSanctum]

Side note: You’ve got some beautiful eyes bro. So my girlfriend also does not like dice throne, which surprised me because she loves Yahtzee and Villainous, which these are kind of akin to. But my buddy and I do like Dice Throne 1v1; we still haven’t played Adventures because the setup seems cumbersome, so I am interested in missions since it looks much simpler to set up.

[@RoomandBoardReviews]

Hahah, thanks! It was good lighting :) Yeah missions does feel so much more appealing than adventures to me in the setup regard. That's a huge plus, actually getting the motivation to get it to the table

[@JeffAllenHammer]

I've only played it one v many and I've been hooked.

[@renatocarvalho6059]

Oh, I can smell your enthusiasm for this one from all the way over here, Chris! I only own Marvel Dice Throne battle chest, from the previous campaign, and tried almost all characters, except for Black Widow and Doctor Strange. My primary gaming partner, aka my girlfriend, usually prefers coop games, so Missions seems simple and fun to go through together. Having more character variety seems plausible in my case... So X-Men is also pretty tempting. Ugh, I do want the unnecessary Roxley bling, but that price, man. Currently I'm backing at the New Gameplay level with the sleeves ('cause they're freakin' cool), but I'm very much tempted to get the minis and tokens. For now, I'm satisfied at my level. Nice try, Chris!! xD

[@spike2439]

I appreciate you critiquing the offer to make this video. I've played this once and really liked the system but don't own anything. I didn't back the Marvel set but I am very excited about the X-Men set.

[@ironpalmmonk1199]

Chris, I think you brought up before, but I 100% agree DT is at its best as a 1v1. It captures the back and forth of two combatants perfectly that the other modes don’t quite match. Though I do like the incentive for extra draw during king of the hill modes. Nice way to dissuade going all in on one poor soul and in a way prevents the “why are you targeting me?!” that is common in these game modes.

[@ChrisGloschat]

“I just want the new ones because they are new and shiny.” Thank you for talking me off the edge Chris!

[@angelkiphuth8573]

I actually play most with king of the hill with 4 people but i love that fact we can have fun with 4 people and 2 and even 1 with adventure.. its one of the main reasons i love this game so much

[@kyaksich7076]

You and my current bank balance, has conviced me.

[@donnyhotard8575]

I don't really care about the X-Men pack, but I am compelled by the missions. You could also get missions plus Deadpool making it a solo Deadpool game.

[@codym6376]

You got me with number 5. My gaming partner doesn’t really like battling with me. I have 2 two packs on the shelf for over a year and we’ve played each character one time.

[@HAERTofWINTER]

As a giant X-men fan it’s killing me not to back, but I just don’t table my collection enough.

[@jasonsmith6654]

I love DT and honestly, the replayability is very good for the base game. The variance between characters is so interesting and I find it super fun to play not only 1v1, but 2v2 and FFA. It isn't always "fair" if you have a team picked just to beat your opponents, but 😅 I honestly love rolling for characters so that if there is someone newer playing you might have to try and figure out a new character as well. I will be backing, mostly to keep my set complete, but I absolutely believe what he says about retail being good enough and you can get into it with only one box. Heck, I started by finding one box for 50% off at Barnes and noble and I was hooked.

[@stoney8378]

Missions can be played solo though for times when you don't have a second person to play with, so that's something to consider

[@ChadHensley]

I'm still considering it but only in for $1 since they are waiving their typical standards for access to the PM. I have the Marvel Battle Chest and several of the season 1 and 2 2-packs. Honestly thinking about going all in on the Marvel ones and selling off my 2-packs, except for Santa vs Krampus, of course. I do not get to play as often as I want but greatly enjoy it when I can. I like that Missions can be played solo. I must admit that it did hurt my heart a big when you said you hadn't played the Artificer, as that is one of my favorite characters, even though I have yet to win with it. Your video is definitely making me consider how much I really need this game though, so it is greatly appreciated!

[@TheMarvin676]

I backed it. Argh, you totally talked me into it Chris. 😂 I only have a couple DT characters so far and will buy a couple more before XMen DT arrives so I won't have too much :-) I did manage to not add on any extra stuff though, so good job with that. Don't need the sleeves or token upgrades or playmats as nice as they are. Thanks for the good video.

[@munchacha]

Chris, can i just ask, why is there always a Shia LaBeouf in all your videos?

@@RoomandBoardReviews AHAHAHAHA that's honestly just genius! A bear would never have thought of that!

[@Allthesmallteas]

I decided to be "responsible" for this one and found someone local to sell me all 8 marvel characters for $50 USD. Im going to play that for the next week or so to decide if i want to back. I really like the Xmen and if i back ill get the figures too. Good video as always and i watched your 8 reasons for the last dice throne yesterday.

[@EfrainRiveraJunior]

Easy: Out of spite for all the Marvel movies that suck! That wasn't fair. The X-Men movies are all good... mostly.

[@obsidiansiriusblackheart]

RE reason number 2: I actually _prefer_ the 1v1 boxes! Much more compact and easy to store. The big boxes need a LOT of consecutive space that I had to really maneuver for

[@beornthebear9023]

I love dice throne but as you said I like it as a head to head and not sure I need 8 more so will probably wait till retail and grab one of the four packs. Probably the one with Iceman

[@RoomandBoardReviews]

I think iceman looks like he's gonna be a favourite for me out of the bunch as well

[@VaultBoy13]

X-Men are fun. Dice Throne is fun. *SNIKT* - That's the sound of X-Men Dice Throne killing Frosthaven to make room for itself on the shelf.

[@sirpoupadou]

Thanks for your opinion! How about team play? I was hoping to buy the chests to play 2v2, but your argument that it's truly a 1v1 only makes me hesitate!! 😮 What say you about team play??

[@bcantui]

Just played a couple king of the hill games (1vs1vs1) and it felt great! We had tons of fun. I’ve played the 2vs2 and it can feel a tad slow, though granted I was playing with all new players that game night. I’d like to try it 3vs3 and get more 2vs2 experience, but definitely good at 2 and 3 players! There’s also the option of playing tournament style where you face of on two 1vs1s then winners fight and losers fight.

[@westcoastavengers1]

They plan to release the X-Men in retail in 2 boxes. $49.99 USD for a 4 character box.

[@adrians4211]

Just thought you should know that there will be a difference with th retail version of the xmen characters and the xmen battle chest. Retail version will no longer include the tri fold boards that fit in the nice trays. So if you want it to match the rest of your dice throne characterss, best to back on KS and get the battle chest

[@SuperSmashBoiz]

I originally backed it based on the fact that I don't like how the marvel 4 character box fits awkwardly with all my other 2 character boxes. Now I'm glad I did make that choice bc tri fold boards are actually super important to me. I started playing DT when I won the original season 1 as a "play to win" game at a convention around the time s2 came out. Then rerolled came out, and I specifically bought them so everything could match. I didn't even realize this change was happening until I read your comment. Tho I imagine the xmen battle chest will still be available on the DT online store which I'm sure will have the trifold boards. All the other battle chests are on there after all.

[@adrians4211]

@@SuperSmashBoiz yeah I think they only announced the decision in one of the updates, so most people didn't even realize! Im sure it will be available in the online store, but likely at a higher price and, depending on where you live, shipping can get high through the online store. So backing it on kickstarter seems like the best choice for those like us that care about tri fold boards to match the rest!

[@Mr47the]

As someone who hasn't played DT but has always been intrigued, the missions sound cool. I wonder if the stretch goals will be in the retail box and if the missions will even go to retail. My friend who i used to play 1v1 games with tends to only want to play co-op games now (I'm not even a sore loser or gloating winner 🤐, i think some people just don't like playing a game for 20 minutes to an hour and lose. We cheat a tad on gloomhaven jaws of the lion😅). Maybe I'll pick up a 2 pack on the way home from work tomorrow and try the system out. I just want to avoid the complex characters so my wife might give it a try ;)

[@gord_the_rogue9012]

I’ve always been a big Gambit fan. I was really thinking of getting the X-Men version so I could have that character and try this game out since I’ve never played Dice Throne. You convinced me to just wait though and get the 2 pack when it comes out and try the game out that way. Thank you for once again saving me some money and realizing retail is a valid option for this one.

[@RoomandBoardReviews]

Definitely is, I'm glad I could help!

[@butswami]

So just a heads up. Not trying to change your thinking. But retail will be 4 character boxes retailing around $50. Still half the price!

[@gord_the_rogue9012]

@@butswami I agree, but I’m not sure if this games for me since I’ve never played any version or it. I’ll probably just wait and get the character pack with Gambit to see how I like it before diving to deep into this series.

I don't want to back this, but it's not very clear (to me) how Deadpool will be sold after the Kickstarter.

I believe it will only be sold on the dice throne site, like dice throne adventures. But given the popularity of Deadpool, it wouldn't surprise me if it hits retail

[@VaultBoy13]

​@@EM-pn5kqHe's kind of an odd one for retail, because he's only an expansion. And, he's all blinged out where the others aren't.

[@LeCuttyFlam]

In France, Dt Adventure will be released in a French edition. We made a promise with my partner, for now on... no more DT characters , no Santa vs Krampus and no marvel heros ahah. At one point, this game is just using our "completion instinct" in wanting all the box. Let's give money and space for other games with other mecanics :)

[@jayc2193]

Have only S&K. The missions reminds me of Welcome to the Moon (simultaneous play, same maps subtle changes) but cooler and I think with 12+ missions there is potential for many hours packed in the box. Hoping the missions feel different from one another. So I’m probably in for Missions and X-men. Also, that metal Thor’s hammer is calling out to me from the first box set…

[@aaroneinhorn5529]

I want it, because my kids loved the gameplay of Dice Throne, but hate any 1v1 PVP game. Being able to work together against a supervillain is exactly what we want.

[@BoardGames3000]

Perfectly happy with marvel DT at retail. I’ve picked up 6 of the 8 characters by now all on sale and I’ve only spent $42 on the game at this point. Don’t have the felling of missing anything.

[@MerrillWhiteKalEl]

You talked me into it. Was not going to back it anyway.

[@lawells3]

I have backed it. I wanted the characters, and liked the idea of playing them with my existing Marvel Dice thrones set. I agree; the missions seem more like an add-on. It adds variety though to a game those less enthusiastic about playing, aka the losers who can't beat me, will want to try or want to play.

[@refreshdaemon]

I have Marvel and it's fun enough, but my main gaming partner doesn't like the head-to-head vs. nature of dice throne (even though she likes the Yahtzee part). This is kind of an auto-back for me because she loves X-Men and co-op, so obviously I need to get it all because this will mean the game tables a lot more at home.

[@Xerilian]

You should consider Dice Throne Adventures as well. Co-op and it is a bit like a dungeon crawl. Pretty fun stuff. And you can use the Marvel and X-Men characters in it just as fine as any other DT hero.

[@cadenbautista985]

Thanks I’ll buy it anyways

Owning other characters is EXACTLY WHY you should back Missions. It's a whole new game than just Dice Throne. The problem I have here is that you're trying to say "just buy two characters, then buy more"...which costs you more than just buying the Battlechest. And comparing this game to Santorini is pretty foolish. Sure, you can skip the Xmen, but missions is what you should back. It's usable will all the characters you have already, even non-Marvel. It's a whole new way to play the game. It adds a lot of value to what you already own. I think that you don't see that, is exactly why no one should be listening to you.
