Miami Dice: Thunderstone Quest

[@BrianLiming]

We have Clank and love all of it. How does this compare or are they very different games?

[@supark3244]

NOTE: THIS IS THE KICKSTARTER VERSION AEG has not disclosed what will be available at retail. Some of the components Sam and Tom enjoyed will never be available at retail.

[@EclecticCamel]

That's a game I won't be buying then.

[@jumpervii]

Total eclipse of the sun quest and the yellow knight are the only things marked as exclusives for kickstarter. Not a big deal

[@brentonswenson4125]

I mean, missing a whole quest seems like a lot, since the base game comes with 1, and 2 others are available as expansions. That's 1/4 of the available content. I haven't played the game, so maybe I'm not seeing this correctly, but it doesn't seem like nothing.

[@supark3244]

I have played this kickstarter and enjoyed it. Just don't want to buy a lesser version at Coolstuff or other OLG.

[@marcodavinci3150]

Still debating if I should get this game or Aeons End or Ascension?!

[@quarthinos]

If you're mostly familiar with the rules from the old versions, the actual review starts at 11:43

[@durabi]

Great review. Just had a chance to try this at Dice Tower Con and I agree with all of your points.

[@JamisonStone]

Great video, very informative, helpful, and fun to watch. Thank you for making this!

[@Gabranth86]

FYI, the box only have space left of you NOT sleeving the cards. I have sleeved all the cards and there's not enough space for expansions. I have the epic add-on in the box too... Get rid of that and maybe the box will fit 1 expansion.

[@stephenmargaretunser3143]

Love this game. Still have the old version but looking forward to playing this updated experience!

[@BradRochford]

After watching all of Tom's Thunderstone Advanced videos and his appreciation of that game, I knew this review would be good!

[@koomo801]

We've only played it two-player so far, and I can definitely see speed of play improving dramatically as the game and rules are learned. A four player game with experienced non-AP players should be a lot of fun, especially as competition for those few level III heroes heats up. Highly recommended, and I hope non-KS backers don't have to go without this box's contents for too much longer.

[@gadgetgirl5142]

[@n3cc0_]

Such a great reimplementation.

[@zakoholic]

Great review! I really enjoyed this game when I played it with a friend and I'm looking forward to see what the new solo and co-op modes will offer.

[@bladesinger2002]

Always excited to see something Thunderstone!

[@Dorkenmore]

Wait, Tom said the game was longer? I can crank these out much faster than I could Thunderstone Advance because leveling up heroes is way faster and there are way more options in the dungeon. I also feel that the end game triggers a lot faster. Maybe just me

[@Muhd_Akmal]

You are not wrong the endgame really is faster no matter the number of players

[@susanscandles]

Deck building my favorite. Mystic Vale, Valley of the Kings. Learned Dominion when first started gaming and not played since. Heard a lot of great reviews about TQ but people love Dominion too. Want to get one of them and having hard time deciding. Certainly like artwork and color of TQ.

[@launchpad62]

Kickstarted this game last time and its a blast to play.

[@Erk200021]

Looks great. Instant back on the second Kickstarter

[@gundercoaty1836]

first off, i like the board, those help with setup and immersion and help people feel like they are playing a board game. Next, the tokens for the various resources was a great touch, nice job aeg

[@Saint_Cuthbert]

This looks a lot better than I thought it would! I'll keep an eye out for this

[@matthewcombs3332]

Excited for this to be available again on July 17!

[@MabiVSGames]

I ABSOLUTELY CANNOT WAIT TO GET MY HANDS ON THIS! My friends and I are huuuge fans of Thunderstone Advanced and I almost have every piece of expansions out there! I missed out on the Kickstarter exclusive items but this will definitely be a pick up for me in the near future!

[@CatTastic2331]

Awesome!! I wish I got my hands on this game!

[@MrBillyischilly]

The cover artwork has the look of an early 90s cartoon that I would totally have watched!

[@josephthayne6399]

Great in depth review. Really looking forward to the game.

[@tleavey87]

I got the KS edition. I love this game. But I love Thunderstone Advance as well (so I'm biased). I'm surprised I've seen some ppl say they think there are too many rules or it's too complicated. I don't think they've actually played TQ because I feel the exact opposite. A lot of the rules have been streamlined. A lot of things are obvious because they wrote it down on the gameboard and playerboards so you don't even have to check the rulebook. Also, if you played T:A, then you'll remember there were a ton of keywords on cards, and you'd have to look in the rulebook as to what those keywords meant. Those keywords are ALL GONE! Now, it's simply "before battle", "during battle", "after battle". So much simpler and still requires strategy. Be warned: sleeving is necessary as the cardstock isn't the best (at least if you want to keep the cards in good condition). It's decent though, and if it's sleeved, then it's great!

[@Beand82]

Really looking forward to the next kickstarter!

[@lmad9153]

Really cannot wait to get this game!

[@merekkrissysmith8056]

I love this game! Very excited for the new content they are going to release soon!

[@enderwizard4261]

I'm really enjoying playing through Thunderstone Quest

[@Jclem82]

Love thunderstone! Can't wait for the next kickstarter!

[@mollymckee4109]

So excited about the new kickstarter!!

[@brandonsparks1771]

This is awesome. I find myself getting more and more into this..

[@noeldillabough2153]

I love Thunderstone Advance, but have barely scratched the surface ... this behemoth would take me a lifetime lol. Games in general seem to be getting HUGE ie Gloomhaven. If you play these games to the end you have no time to play any other game and games are coming out faster than ever before. Not a complaint I just wish I had time like when I was a young man lol

[@tleavey87]

This game has a ton of replayability for sure, but I don't think it's that daunting, especially compared to Gloomhaven. Although there is a 'campaign' in TQ, it's really just a suggested setup of cards with extremely-minimal story. To "play it to the end" wouldn't take more than 30 hours at most, I'd estimate.To play every variation and every card in the game would take a while, sure, but you could probably play with most cards (but not all combos) in about 10-ish games. If one game is 1-2 hours, I'd say that's about 10-20 hours of gameplay. To do one campaign in Gloomhaven takes minimal 75 hours. Now that is a behemoth. The great thing about TQ is that you could put in 75 hours as well with all the different combinations of cards and have a different gameplay experience, but since you get the whole experience in one game, whereas Gloomhaven the game expands throughout the looong campaign, I don't think they're very comparable. Full disclosure: I own TQ and love it. Highly recommend it!

[@wendybarlow3177]

This game looks amazing, I cannot wait to get my hands on a copy!

[@JosephLeeSoonsin]

I'm really looking forward to get a copy.

[@xJAMESVICIOUSx]

Looking forward to the upcoming kickstarter! I missed out the first time.

[@hawkeye137137]

Thanks for the review. Looks cool, will be able to try it soon I hope on future.

[@kirkkirkpatrick6352]

So excited for the expansion.

[@thefungusguy]

Excited to try this game.

[@pietrourbani9472]

Always Amazing Games from Alderac

[@JoostN86]

There is no player interaction in this game, is there?

[@seansvideos4742]

Stoked for the 2nd Kickstarter!! 🤙🏼

[@bren3624]

Can you play this game in the style of classic Thunderstone? Or is it only able to be played with figurines and the like.Do you know what the timeline is like with set up? Great video!

[@21VN]

I hope to try this some day!

[@CardboardistYT]

Looking forward to the new Kickstarter.

[@BaylorPeak]

Can't wait for the co-op and solo modes:)

[@JambalayaPlaysGames]

I love the Play through you did too

[@TheKindredblades]

Still waiting for AEG to announce when they are releasing it. Really excited to finally play it.

[@tylerlowdell6032]

TheKindredblades it's coming back to kickstarter

[@TheKindredblades]

tyler lowdell I saw it yeah. I must say that I'm disapoint about this. I don't like kickstarter. Anyway, I finally bought in my local store which happenned to have a kickstarter copy.

[@sleepyazn15]

I love this company and the dice tower!

[@Power-Mad]

I agree with the others, if you can't tell us what is kickstarter and what's retail then it's too early for a review to mean anything to us. Especially as you show off all these quests and cards, a handful of which are going to be exclusive and a great deal of which are going to be sold separately as expansions.

[@awfrye]

Can't wait to back this on KS!

[@dougmoore883]

This game looks pretty excellent. I think the hype surrounding it is justified.

[@MichaelColetti5]

I love how they fixed the beginning of this game!

[@danmaynard748]

Looks great! Wish I had the funds to back it when it launched.

[@yotodine]

The Dice Tower Can you add a link to your sponsor in your discription? Thanks!!!

[@wizo656]

Can you buy some Dice Tower Essentials at the Shop of Arcane wonders?

[@gaminwithjamin]

Excited for the next one.

[@andreasmalits395]

This finally looks like a version of Thunderstone i would be interested in. Thunderstone Advance was ... ok ... but it always felt like a slower, more fiddly even less interactive version of Dominion with Dwarves and Wizards. I still don't know why the players aren't cooperating but hey ... the rest of the game looks fun.

[@Copperlion]

the production values look nice

[@davidpeterson5179]

Epic I'm sure will be fun, currently going through the campaign book, I'm sleeving the cards when I need to open them for the next chapter, but yes a LOT of cards to sleeve. The Kickstarter cards will probably only be used probably for Epic or if I do a random setup sometime. So will be a while before I get to those cards I'm assuming. The minis are neat but yes not necessary but I do like them over the meeple that the prototype had last year.

[@tleavey87]

I'm playing the campaign with my brother. I plan to set up a game using the KS promo cards and any other non-campaign cards whenever I play with other ppl who aren't as regular.

[@firebomberseven8219]

I loved Thunderstone before but this looks ten times better

[@boglesby]

Love deck builders. Really need to get this one tried

[@andrewquell9976]

Looking forward to playing this with my wife using the new co-op rules

[@CosmicTavern]

Sam is probably happy about the Clockwork Destiny expansion that just came out.

[@brycehenderson1204]

Can’t wait for the return to Kickstarter

[@BliskMyth]

What is the wow factor of this game. What makes it awesome?

[@jeremyjcpaul]

Everythime I see this game I just want it!

[@povilassimonis1998]

Is it cooperative?

[@Clorox41]

Looks awesome, getting it!

[@kashper]

I love this kinda game - just hope it gets localizations :D.

[@krzysztofszarawarski1144]

Great review, thanks.

[@ssharry4917]

Looks freat! So looking forward to it

[@russellrobins8901]

I cant wait to play!

[@mavisharder6897]

Epic...love the looks of the game

[@aaronheil6721]

so looking forward to this!

[@jimwolfe1935]

Just found out about this game, I'm in!!!!!

[@beardedchinnfishing]

I want to get this game!

[@ramonosuke]

I liked Thunderstone Advance well enough, but only ever played it solo. This looks pretty good, except I'm not keen on AEG not telling consumers what's included in the retail edition, and whats an exclusive. Plus the artwork looks like it's all over the place, and isn't consistent at all. Aeon's End/Xenoshyft/Shadowrun Xfire have been my go-to deck builders as of late, since I enjoy the more "pure" co-op feel they bring, which was one of my gripes with Advanced's semi-coop nature, so I'll wait and see how this turns out when it hits retail. Also, I wonder how this will stack up with Dragonfire

[@lordyemeth]

Looks nice, hope that they don't make a Numenera version or I'll need to make space for that big box

[@forgacszoltan4002]

As always, a pleasure!

[@edmundcheow760]

looks great! Highly interesting

[@mlmarine]

Nice review ... as usual

[@bartafrancis]

Nice review!

[@ActionHeinz]

Yeah, Mawgarn‘s Ass is the most powerful weapon in the game :D

[@peterlittle4459]

I’m glad I didn’t have to look far for this comment hahah

[@Alluvian567]

Was looking forward to this, but glad I didn't get too excited about it. Just way too many rules for a deckbuilder IMO.

[@lucbelanger9299]

Thunderstone was the game that made me switch boardgame are fun to boardgame is my hobby. Quest is version update it to stay relevant.

[@miken6824]

We used massive Rising Sun "minis" last time we played and it added to the EPIC :)

[@baccard]

Oh, god, I need to upgrade my games into this.

[@TheTenth666]

still 2 points of Dominion like that go wrong with me : - you have either attack or buy cards in your hand, you're too weak to attack so those are useless and it's buy points you'd need to buy something, - I find it illogical to discard useful items to have them become money to buy other items, but they're still in your deck so you can draw them later to buy other things? makes no sense

[@francescospuntarelli7369]

You both like the game..... you are going to like it again.... I'm joking obviously .... marvelous game... good restyling

[@SuperPatrigan]

Awesome game, worth every penny!

[@debbralee813]

Wow that’s a huge game!!!

[@ssparks1507]

nice review

[@liamcharbonneau6965]

This game seems interesting!

[@gambit82283]

Great video, great game!

[@BrodySheard]

awesome stuff

[@CescConsensio]

Looks awesome!

[@dannydoesright]

Id enjoy this greatly but sadly I doubt the people I play with would like the added complexity. Sadly this is a pass for me and I am happy with regular old Thunderstone Advance.

[@tleavey87]

It's less complex to learn as a lot of the rules have been streamlined, and less math because Light is so much easier to calculate. Strategically, I'd say it is more difficult than T:A though.

[@NODHLAN]

I really like this game

[@Gabranth86]

Really great game for 2 players :)
