Double Trouble 9: Masmorra

[@kazegaijin]

I'm excited for it as a "my first dungeon crawl" or a gateway dungeon crawl. something that is bright, colorful and simple that I can introduce to my family and siblings. They wood be terrified by descent, imperial assault, or shadows of brimstone.

[@ErrantSquire]

I just got my Kickstarter for this 2 weeks ago. I really like it because it plays quickly and still gives me a blind reveal dungeon type game. The expansions add more monster dice and bags to draw them out of which also enhances gameplay. I'm really happy with it.

[@PonSquaredJapan]

This looks like a great game to play with my 8 year old. I think we will get a lot of enjoyment out of it. A wonderful introduction to dungeon crawls. I am glad I backed it.

[@Steve-L]

Actually sounds like a fun quick dungeon crawl. I am interested.

[@ollieclark2808]

Got my KS today and played it a couple of times, we had a ton of fun! Quick, easy game with some dice chucking. Screwing over your friend with the treasure cards is particularly satisfying, plus the minis are fantastic.

[@jonjon2222]

Since Melody is often your go-to person for 2 player games, have you ever thought about making Double Trouble exclusively about 2 player games? It would make it easier to find ideas for 2 player games! Just a suggestion :)

[@mathewspence2093]

I usually agree with Tom but having played this before I really liked it.

[@andrewp3043]

I get that Tom isn't doing a precise rules explanation, and that he's breezing through the rules just to give viewers the flavor of the game. That said, some rules played the way Tom presented them in this video might significantly change your enjoyment of the game. Ah well, my friends and I have really been having fun playing it.

[@KabukiKid]

Feels like Tom has previously had no qualms taking bits from one game to add to another game he likes. I guess this one isn't hated enough to feel like doing that with. heh

[@koomo801]

Suppressed yawn at 3:30 not a good sign! I guessed that this game would be a bit lackluster for experienced gamers, but a lot of fun for the under 10 crowd. Which is why I backed it.

[@olafbuddenberg4787]

Wow. Now this game really got glossed over, Tom. Also, you were really nitpicky concerning those monster dice. If you can not make out the symbols and writing on the dice then there are large overview tableaus of all the monsters right in the box. I think that a verdict of 6 does not do this fun and gorgeous game justice.

[@JaKamps]

Unfortunately I doubt CMON will ever sell the figures separately for use w/ Arcadia Quest. I would love to get the Gandalf look a like figure from AQ: Inferno, but I don't want to buy the 2nd base set when I own the original... I just want the character!

[@afcomser]

Couldn't read the monster Dice, from a guy who loves Dice Masters

[@SprengerMon]

Tom pretty much confirmed almost every concern I had about the game back when I questioning whether or not to back it. I ultimately decided to go for it only because the characters could be added to AQ. I'm sure I will play this game a few times I just hope that they add something in the future to give it some objective based goals.

[@Arydis4]

Been waiting to see this one!

[@Brimah314]

Kind of confused, both rated it a 6, but thought the Dice Tower seal of Approval was for 8+?

[@12thLevelSithLord]

If I recall correctly, Approval is 6+ and Excellence is 8+.

[@Zhalfrin]

Thank you, very useful knowledge I wasn't aware of!

[@jthomspn1185cowboysa]

When giving the explanation does it take several attempts to record?

[@pesticyde5492]

One question: I have the Chance to get a cheap Copy of the Game. But the Monster dice are Missing. Would it be possible to use D6es and those monster Sheets with Like Numbers for each Monster to Play the Game anyway (maybe 2 d6 and Numbers 1-12) or is that a Bad Idea?

[@animodeoh]

Not a bad idea you could also just get some sticker paper and do a diy of the faces of the dies. Im pretty sure you can find the images of the sodes of the dice online somewhere

[@pesticyde5492]

@@animodeoh forgot to write here, the dice were inside the Inlay, so everything is good anyways. But thanks for that suggestion, maybe it will Help Somebody some day x)

[@jbenz32]

wait you can use your masmorra characters in Arcadia Quest? how? I thought you can use arcadia quest in Masmorra?

[@RPG_Bliss]

Joshua Benziger the Masmorra characters come with AQ cards so you can use them in AQ!

[@robo3007]

How do you lose in a cooperative game?

[@PurgeReviewsboardgames]

Robin Powell one of the players die.

[@wroot_lt]

Tom: no exploding dice. PASS! :D

[@olafbuddenberg4787]

That got a chuckle out of me. ;)

[@Dantevonlocke]

Very nitpicky and minor quibbles. There are references cards for the monsters and if you cant see the image on the dice for that then you need glasses. Also you skipped some rules that might change opinions, especially on how you win. The first to 16 doesnt win it just means the game ends after every has had an equal number of turns. Ive played games where someone got to 16 then had cards that bumped then down or another player got another turn and got to 16 too.

[@shaneannigans]

Dice tower should do a Top 10 games that use the Yahtzee mechanism! :)

[@EagleScoutBSA100]

If I were you, and I didn't like it enough to keep it, I'd keep the game for the heros at least at first, and buy 2 adventure sets. Then sell the base game without the base heros but with the heros from the extra adventure set. That way it's not unplayable, but you can keep the heros for AQ.

[@1avido1]

reminds me of QUBQST from gamecrafter looks like a nicer more advanced version:)

[@f.l.d.3575]

Everything changes after 40! Even eyesight! Lol

[@Texiteer]

Goblins, ghouls, gabagoo

[@coralinealgae]

Good review. Glad I skipped the kickstarter. I hope Arcadia Quest Inferno will be fun. I backed that one.

[@jaxommm]

me too!

[@coralinealgae]

I don't think we'll be disappointed. Should be fun on a bun!

[@jonydude]

Melody is really developing her reviewer skill. If I compare it with older videos, she didn't have much to say beyond artwork and whether or not she won. Compare that with this, where she is discussing differences in kind between the rooms. Watch out Tom, she'll have better reviews than you in a couple of years.

[@jaxommm]

7 people gave this a thumbs down because they are suffering buyer's remorse. Ha ha!

[@Ojustaslayer]

That's me after I bought Risk, lol love the game but no one wants to play

[@MeanNGreen17]

Glad I backed out of this one.

[@dreadknot69]

So glad I didn't back this one. I thought at first it was a no brainer, being CMON and all, but my wallet forced me to make a choice.

[@homelessjoe]

Happy to have skipped this on kickstarter. Thanks Tom and Melody.
