Catharsis Board Game - Rules Walkthrough

[@cyberwizardgames5889]

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.

Thanks for the kind words! Hopefully folks find it useful. Also thanks very much for the correction on when you get to trigger the post-combat recovery.

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.

Glad you found the video useful! To follow up about the box changes: I've spoken to the devs a bit about this and so far as I'm aware the only thing that is changing is the size of the core box whenever they do another print run. They're going to scale back some of the box contents so that the core box has an overall smaller form factor (not sure of the exact char/boss deck #s but it's not too many cut out from what I remember). Similarly CWG are planning some smaller scale expansions, which are going to be like 2 chars and 1/2 boss decks in a box. So far as I know, the size of the actual cards *is not* changing. That is a feature a lot of people like and I think it's a facet of the game CWG are happy with. The only thing that is shifting with new print runs/releases is how they are packaging things.

@GetTheTables I misunderstood. I placed my order. Hopefully by this Tuesday I'll have it. When I read smaller I must have thought the cards. But yes you are correct. I was in contact with them and the card size is not changing. They will be removing characters and adventures making the box smaller and cheaper.

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"

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?

[@GetTheTables]

Great questions! -So for Heals, all of that has to go to one person. Definition of "Heal" on pg. 9: "Heal #: -*-A-*- player immediately refreshes that many powers." (emphasis added)- EDIT: Just read the discord discussion and Art clarified that Heal can likewise be spread around too. Too many years of wargaming apparently have me reading rules too literally! Very good to know for multiplayer games. The dice changing question had be going back and forth. Rules as written, you can spread it out. Just to be sure I asked in the Catharsis discord and Art clarified that yes, you can indeed spread that effect out (so long as you had enough valid targets for it). Leme truly is a party support machine. :)

@GetTheTables thank you. I realized today I'm in the discord channel. Let me ask this in there 😂 I guess we are in the same chat
