You wouldn't believe if I told you that I've tried to play this game, so many times, and always did something wrong. Not anymore! Thank you Thomas. Your channel rocks!

[@boardgameswiththomas]

Thanks so much! :) Glad to hear this video was helpful

17:10 you beat a level 2 monster to death with a door. That's savage! 😂😂 Great video. I have this game printed in my travel games bag but never got around to trying. Thanks for making a video on it, definitely giving it a shot now!! ❤

[@boardgameswiththomas]

Thanks! Sometimes in the dungeon you gotta work with what you got, which in that case all I had was a door 😂 Glad you enjoyed

[@deandabbles]

​@@boardgameswiththomas I found a good way to condense this game's layout was to overlap the defeated cards over each other, it helped a fair bit.

I already played this not long ago. I'm occasionally trying the (expert game) tarot card version from Labyrinth of Souls book. Eventually I'll obtain the extra arcana cards for the advance game. Those versions are more interesting and challenging.

Interesting concept. Couple Questions. 1. On a matching result is it a win or a loss? Example draw a 4 Door and flip a 4 monster? Is it a win? The difference is 0 so I am guessing it would be considered a win. The other question is total pints, you mention 100 is a perfect score, but 4 kings is 40 and the diamonds will get you 54 (Since the 1, J, Q and K, can not be obtained). for a total of 94. Where would the other 6 points come from?

[@boardgameswiththomas]

1. Matching value is a win. From the rules: "To win an encounter, an action card must be equal to or greater than the encounter card." 2. The other 6 come from having the Scroll of Light (the joker) in hand

This is a really fun game. I liked it enough that I made an in-hand variant (I have a video how-to) that works pretty well. My only issue with this game is there aren't as many choices as I would like, so I've been working on a variant I call "Curses" but haven't figured out an in-hand way for that yet without getting arthritis, lol. Great playthrough, thanks!

[@boardgameswiththomas]

I agree that there aren't as many choices as I would like. That sounds like a cool variant, I'll check it out! Thanks for the suggestion

I love you showcasing all these standard deck solo games. Any chance you could give a quick rundown on how you'd rank them against each other?

[@boardgameswiththomas]

Thanks! I actually did a ranking video not too long ago: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mnippmlupbd-r6ssi=0PSe-QTAY679yqJh

[@munchcat]

This looks like a fun one! One question: When can you use the Jack of Hearts (Dodge)?

[@boardgameswiththomas]

It is quite fun! It can be played whenever you would lose hit points so my interpretation is that it can be used against both monsters and traps

[@77bvd]

what i do is when i use a jack i place it in the encounter

[@boardgameswiththomas]

I normally discard it off to the side, it doesn't make much of a difference what you do with it

[@daredevil1253]

What do you do with jack of hearts

[@boardgameswiththomas]

It allows you to avoid one instance of damage, either from a monster or a trap
