Dark Souls: The Card Game | Solo Partial Playthrough | With Mike

[@itsskitso2879]

Just bought the base game and both expansions after watching countless videos! Cannot wait, it looks so fun!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I'm still going back and forth on the second expansion. Hope you enjoy this one!

[@JLH111176]

game looks awesome, deck building is always a fun mechanic for me

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It's not TOO deep here, but just enough to feel your character getting stronger round after round.

[@theexclusivecorner]

Great video! It's made me want to buy it for sure as I've got it on my wishlist. Big Souls fan and card game fan here so this is pretty much a win win! Thank you

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Hope you enjoy it!

[@LEWIS1992]

Excellent video, thank you! :) Small note: you forgot the boss's "pushback" effect in its first attack.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Ah, nice catch! And thanks for watching :)

[@tbatrics]

Much better looking than I expected. Might have judged too harshly.

[@JamesHomze]

Awesome video I just got the game and both expansions and been playing a little it’s fun but takes a little strategy as well

[@Aoshi312]

Excellent video! As always

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks so much!

[@VRBug]

Thanks for this, helped me a lot ❤

[@KURO_ame]

I think this is one game that shouldn't dishearten you if you die. As a true "Souls" player - Prepare To Die. Thanks for the upload. What' ths other expansion? I have Forgotten Paths (not completely sure of the name, Pyromancer & Thief added characters).

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Seekers of Humanity is the other one

[@KURO_ame]

@@OneStopCoopShop Thanks.

[@aaronsneddon3464]

Bought this with both expansions, unless I'm missing something, it's only came with the first bonfire card 🙃

[@OneStopCoopShop]

NOOOOO! But the expansions are great. Add lots of variety :)

[@ssjay01]

Awesome video, very detailed. Now i only need the game and...some friends... 😐

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It plays pretty well solo! :)

[@irlandani4249]

Hi, what if I don't have a weapon in my hand after switching cards for my encounter? do I pass to the enemy or else?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

The first action option for a player is to discard any number of cards and draw an equal number of replacement cards, so you can do this during your activation to hopefully get a weapon. Of course you will probably be in trouble at that point :)

[@nicolasbrun9795]

Are the size of the cards the same as Magic the gathering cards? Could you tell me the size of the board player.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I culled my copy, so can't tell you for sure on the boards, but I looked up the card size and they use "standard card game" sleeves (63.5 x 88), which IS the same as MTG.

[@florianschoppler4001]

Hey Mike, how do you like this compared to Pathfinder the Adventure Card Game 2nd Edition? This one looks way more tactical, filled with more and tougher choices. Do you keep cards for your deck and does your charakter develop with each game played like in pathfinder?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Florian, that's a question I've thought of a lot. Here are my comparisons between the two: Dark Souls - Quicker to set up, quicker to play, has the tactical positioning aspect (though it's fairly light), is only a one-off game (no campaign play), usually has better cooperation between players, doesn't have any dice rolling, so randomness-averse gamers will like that. Pathfinder - Better leveling (since it happens over a campaign and gets more epic), better combos (you can chain 4-6 effects together to roll like 10 dice. Dark Souls has nothing like that), campaign play, lots of dice rolling and adding up of numbers. For me, I enjoy Pathfinder more, but Dark Souls will appeal to some gamers.

[@florianschoppler4001]

One Stop Co-op Shop Mike, what are your favourite characters in pathfinder? I might not be deep enough in the campaign but I have not yet found such combos you mentioned. I am missing just that. I am looking for better combo card plays in pathfinder. I hope that cool card combo plays help against the repetitiveness the game suffers. I should mention that I only play it solo with two Characters

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Maybe it’s only 3-4 cards. But it’s still more than dark souls, which only has 1 or 2 card combos :)

[@NoNamedTerror]

Quick question, do you put your discard pile back in your deck after winning an encounter and moving onto another one?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It’s been a while, but I think it’s only when you rest at the bonfire

[@NoNamedTerror]

@@OneStopCoopShop alright thanks!

[@lamborghinicentenario2497]

It's only when you rest and it is the most bullshit unbalanced mechanic ever if you're playing solo ​@@NoNamedTerror

[@supersonicchihuahua3489]

I think you've swapped Wolnir's hand position (His right hand should be on his right, left on his left) I'm not 100% sure about this, but I think it should look like the videogame (plus, the pictures of the 3 cards are connected, like the "exodia" tipe of thing)

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I'm confused... if you look at when he first shows up, around 29:30, the pictures DO match up, and they ARE like Exodia, etc. His right is on his right and his left on his left. I just turned it all 180 so the viewer can see the text on the cards.

[@supersonicchihuahua3489]

@@OneStopCoopShop Oh, yeah! You're right =) My bad

[@ntoscano01]

Great video! Can I use an attack during a quick action? If I kill an enemy while doing so, do I still take damage?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

To be clear, the only difference between a quick action and a standard action is what happens to the card you played after the action. With a quick action, the card goes back into your hand (you can use it again later). With a standard action, it is discarded. So yes, many weapons have quick action attacks, usually for less damage than a standard action attack. As for your second question... I'm not sure what you mean. You attack enemies during your turn, so they don't deal damage back to you until they activate again on their turn. If you defeat them during your turn, they won't get the chance to hurt you. But again, that has nothing to do with quick or standard actions. They are not actually "quicker" in terms of attacking the enemy faster. They just stay in your hand. Hope that helps!

[@edc1967]

I didn't catch what the Remnant of Humanity cards are for.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It’s explained on page 10 of the rulebook. Basically if you don’t have enough cards to reach the max deck size of the current bonfire, you fill out your deck with remnant cards, which are simply “draw 1” filler cards.

[@BlobBlobkins]

Hello. Can you use this cards with DS board game?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

No, it’s a completely different design with totally different mechanics

[@BlobBlobkins]

@@OneStopCoopShop Thank you :)

[@adyz2114]

How do you play it when you come up against a monster you can't damage?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Not sure what you mean. You can pretty much always damage monsters. It just might cost more than you would prefer to spend 😅

[@sophiewood1919]

Is this game too hard for beginners? I love video games but was looking for a change

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It’s not too complicated, I think. Give it a shot

[@sophiewood1919]

@@OneStopCoopShop Any other suggestions for a beginner? I don't know much about game terminology but I like adventure turn-based rpgs when I play video games so was looking for something similar but in a solo card game

[@OneStopCoopShop]

@@sophiewood1919 here are a few of my favorite games that are pretty accessible, and have an adventure or fantasy theme: Heroes of Tenefyr One Deck Dungeon Escape the Dark Castle (or the Dark Sector, if you want sci-fi) Unbroken All 4 of those are pretty straightforward to learn, and we have videos on the channel for all of them, if you want to watch and see what you think first.

[@The_PsykoJ]

Just ordered my Copy 🤌this video helped out a bunch!! Can’t wait to play through with friends and be disappointed by failure at least three times before - VICTORY 🙌

[@writerguy911]

Loved the video game. Felt the board game was kind of meh. This version looks pretty interesting, however.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It doesn't really replicate the video game (no exploration really), but it's still fun.

[@lamborghinicentenario2497]

This game is dogshit as a solo player lol Boutta homebrew the shit out of it

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Good luck with it!!
