[@damons9522]

Thanks for doing this play through. Really good job on the setup. Waiting for my copy to be delivered today!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Oh YES!!! You will enjoy it, the rulebook is good, very wordy so be ready for that. but it is very clear. The game is fun, can't wait to start it! Hoping tomorrow to record!

[@jasonburt8043]

This looks great. I’ve been seeing it pop up on the solitaire geek list on BGG and it’s caught my interest for sure. You are going to cost me a lot of money Colin if you keep showing off these great games 😄

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It is QUITE good I think! It makes my brain melt a little, but I am OK with that ha! Sorry for your wallet!!

[@davidko9289]

Excellent. Great synergies with the character icons/factions.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It is quickly becoming one of my favorites!! It is so thinky in a good way!

[@madddog6790]

This is awesome...I actually have a clear table, so I will set this up and follow along. As always, thanks for your vids!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Nice!! I hope you enjoy the game, it is GREAT! Albeit be ready to do a lot of thinking! :) Thanks for watching!

[@je_mere]

Sounds nice and complicated as I like it, can't wait to see the playthrough

[@OneStopCoopShop]

It is juicy!! Can't wait to show it to you all!!

[@lightrangergames9354]

Thanks for your videos and for recommending this game. I saw some negative reviews, that had me hesitant, but yours helped me consider this game and I'm so glad I did. I love this game. I think it's probably the third game I've chosen based on your reviews. Thanks again.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Glad it helped thanks for watching and commenting!

[@MrKongkaj]

Looks sweet, jumping straight to the playthrough! :)

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Whoot whoot!

[@LucasGentry]

I've only made it to the drafting part of the episode and I'm already getting excited :-)

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yeah there is a reason, it is AWESOME!! Hope you enjoy the playthrough!

[@christian_daigle]

Was wondering if this game was any good. Good timing! :D Thanks Collin

[@OneStopCoopShop]

No problem!! And I will say it is!! Hope you enjoy the playthrough!

[@mcsauteuse]

This looks realy great !!!!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Couldn't agree more, except it also IS great! :) Thanks for watching!

[@bobnetherton4957]

Did you say a deck building dungeon crawler ? I am so there......

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I sure did!! hit a nice niche for me!!

[@Harvestersz]

Hi, Thx for making this series. Looking forward to watching it. The only thing I'd mention is that there was a recent update to the rules (12-17?) and I found some differences between the new updated pdfs and the book that I received. Maybe have a look.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I did not know there was an update thanks for that! Is it posted to bgg?

[@Harvestersz]

I'm not sure about bgg. I bought the game from his site (www.ganeshagames.net) and was sent a notice that it had been updated. I just opened the pdf that I have and the title page says that it is version 4.0 of the rules. I do not have the book handy so I can not check that.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Cool thanks for this!

[@Gutock]

OMG I am excited to get this to the table, particularly co-op mode. Quick question: are the walls limiting your space strictly necessary? Like, can you just remmeber you are only allowed a 3x3 area for a solo game? Just thinking of how to reduce fiddliness of walls breaking... Thank you for the playthrough!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

I hope you do soon, it is a BLAST! The walls are just to make sure you don't explore some weirdly shaped dungeon. I may just get rid of them as the tiles don't "really" fit into them that well, and they keep coming apart. I think the frame is more important at higher player counts. If you play co-op let us know how it goes!! I am worried about length as my solo games usually last 2 hours or so. . . Thanks for watching!!

[@markle-g9d]

Love your playthroughs Colin. As someone who has recently gotten into solo gaming they are perfect. I was really excited about the new kickstarter for this and was keen to pick up a copy, but postage to Australia pushes the Champion Alliance pledge to $140 - slightly prohibitive. Would you say this is still your top dungeon crawler?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Hi Mark, bummer on the shipping sheesh! I have seen others ask about it in the comments section. Currently this is still my number 1 Dungeon Crawl. The 4 hero combo and the card play is just too good for me not to put this at the top of my list. LOVE IT! Adding the Adventure Packs will be pretty amazing. . . Fingers Crossed you can find a copy!

[@theDiRTYeightSUPER]

Just bought this with the Champions expansion. Looking forward to playing but Altar Quest just showed up :P

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Hahaha so many amazing choices!!!

[@sauronguitar]

Thats good stuff!

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thanks!

[@Oblowsky]

oh cooooommon already, give us a gameplay videeeeeeooooo :D

[@OneStopCoopShop]

HAHAHAHAHA Recorded it man, just need to edit! Blast having to work full time! :)

[@tonybowers9490]

Thanks for sharing. Too bad they didn't have those edge pieces fit together like a puzzle piece. And, it looked like they were bowed a bit which kept the ends from lying flat.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Agreed, the border for the dungeon could have ben built better, but honestly playing solo you don't really even need it. Playing with more though it might be needed, especially at setup. Regardless I am glad they spent the time on the mechanics and cards, as those are quite good!

[@CountDewkeww]

I'm so happy that you like it. Unfortunately for me, I like my head where it is.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Buhahahaha!! You don't want it rolling on the floor as you try and think of the perfect move?! What is your problem! Totally get it, not every head severing game is for everyone! :) Thanks for watching!

[@gregmahler9506]

You reveal the quests before you draft heroes. This is very important otherwise you may end up not being able to complete any of them.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

VERY good point I will make a note thanks!!

[@sylvaindelage5742]

i'm very curious about this one

[@OneStopCoopShop]

After 3 plays LOVING it, a lot so that is good! Think it will be a really good solo experience!

[@kevinerskine3299]

Aww man, you're killing me.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

HAHAHAHA this one is for YOU Kevin! Mage Knight with 4 heroes, it is SO much fun! Just wait! Thanks for watching as always!

[@kevinerskine3299]

I don't know how I missed it on kickstarter. Now I have to figure out how to get it. This kind of theme is at the top of my favorite genre. And it ticks all kinds of boxes.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yeah when you told me you had not heard of this one, I was amazed. It is right up your ally, the only thing is there is only 1 die in the game and I know you like your dice games! But it feels a lot like Mage Knight so I REALLY feel this would be a good choice for you! There are a few copies on BGG selling now!

[@Artusxxx0071]

Chest minion= mimic :)

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Thank you for that!!

[@kreculjkreculj]

When you play multiplayer does every player have 1 character or 4?

[@FlySC19]

Also 4 iirc, you always control a party of adventurers in this game

[@OneStopCoopShop]

FlySC19 has got it right, 4 heroes no matter what!

[@jeremyboughtono2]

If you suffer from analysis paralysis this game will kill you. Its crazy how much thinking is needed to play all your cards to their best advantage. Great game.

[@OneStopCoopShop]

VERY good point about AP, and playing with others can get long because of that. BUT that is why it is so good!! :) Thanks for watching!

[@Mark-OutWest]

Weird that you need this frame. It's pretty clear for a solo game you use 9 tiles. So I will skip using the frame. It actually says illustration by... on the bottom of all the cards. Guy really needs his credit huh?

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yeah for sure do not need the frame! Didn't even notice the illustration signature ha! Now I am going to see it during my next sesion!

[@manieek]

mini gloomhaven:P

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Exactly!! Or Mage Knight even!

[@Hybban]

My bank account is seriously starting to hate you... Deckbuilding, check. Dungeon delve, check. Brainy game, check...

[@OneStopCoopShop]

HAHAHAHA I knew this one you would like too!! Sorry Franck!! You never know it may not be your thing. . . . Who am I kidding I have a feeling you will like it a lot!! Enjoy the vids man, and maybe lock up the wallet :)

[@Hybban]

@@OneStopCoopShop Three years later, I'm waiting for the game and the champion expansion to arrive today. Thanks Colin ;)

[@OneStopCoopShop]

Yessssss!!!!!!

[@shurlockbones4664]

I like your play through's but strongly recommend not adding expansions. Base game explanations for games like this. Cheers!
