Button Shy's At the Helm - Full Playthrough

Full playthrough of my 18-card deckbuilder "At the Helm", published by Button Shy Games.
(I failed to take damage when drawing cards at one point … tainted game! :)

Great to see it played through, great to see its designer at the helm. Can’t wait for my copy to arrive! Now if only the expansions were more available/not sold out in minutes😂

Congratulations on your published game. Love buttonshy games. Thanks for showing. At 7:28 forgot to take damage for the two hearts you drew.

[@aktheodore]

Thanks! Heh, yeah tainted game! I tried to make a note of it but with my limited video skills, I could only get it to show up with the closed captioning turned on.

[@redsable1434]

@@aktheodore I have really been enjoying this game. Need more expansions 😀😃

[@CharlesSmith479]

This game looks SO FUN!

[@ChrisLowResDream]

thank you, your video helped me very much, great game :)

[@speedwaytag3321]

Thanks this was great. I didn’t realise when i buy a card from the market with gold from the pearl, the new card goes into your hand. Glad that’s clarified.

[@aktheodore]

Yeah, the initial copies of the printed rules and PnP didn’t specify that. The most recent will!

Thanks this was very helpful!

Congrats on your first game, sir.

[@aktheodore]

Thanks! It’s been a really fun experience!

[@caseydraven]

Looks like a really cool game! I just ordered it and I’m excited to play it. Just curious though what would you say is the win/loss ratio?

[@aktheodore]

Thanks! Through playtesting, it was about 45/55 overall. I think you'll find it varies quite a bit depending on the challenge combo though. Batten down those hatches!

[@caseydraven]

Yeah that seems about right! I got the game last night. I played 4 games. Won 2 and lost 2. This is already becoming my favorite solo game!!! It’s so much fun! I’m not playing “the storm” again until I get better though. That challenge is a 5 for a reason I guess. 😂

[@masleaf]

At 7:43 mins in: didn’t you need to take off 2 health for sail and jib?

[@aktheodore]

Yeah, whoops! I made a note of it but it only shows up if the closed captioning is on. Tainted win!
