It looks like you all were having a blast with this one. Definitely not one that I could get played with my group, though...too much story/reading. I'll just have to live vicariously through your awesome play-through.

[@meeple]

I gotta say...we really did have fun with it. And to the game's credit, that was a long day (and I do mean "day") of recording for this video. Yet we still had a lot of fun playing it together.

This kind of reminds me of Etherfields, but instead of deck-building it's action selection with a dice and stamina system.

14:13 since Ryan didn't use his action I think he would technically been able to use the rethink action and thereby get a movement point to do the chandelier stunt in the first turn or get a used stamina chip back.

[@meeple]

Nice catch. This game was a lot to take in with a short amount of time. 😉

[@andreasgabel]

@@meeple well it would only have made partial sense because than the next turn the test for the chandelier would have to be done again. But the rethink action is specifically for a situation as the one Ryan was in where his planned action could not be used.

This looks great, checking out the kickstarter it looks like each character has its own story you progress through as well? Looked like all the mechanisms really started to shine in this third scenario.

[@meeple]

Yeah, we just scratch the surface here.

[@LPFI]

Thanks guys. Looks like you had good time playing :-)

[@meeple]

We did indeed! Thanks for the experience!

I just got into more serious board games. I started with Gloomhaven, just recently bought Middara (still haven't played it), preordered Frosthaven, and Agemonia looks like it will be my next, when it releases.
