Slay the Spire: The Board Game | Playthrough Act I

[@JoeHuddleston]

I spent the whole video thinking "remember your start ability, remember your start ability".

[@slickerdrips]

Me too at the end of every fight 😀

[@kansaskyle]

Great playthrough! I like your custom Ascension level of skipping your character's special ability and still beating the boss!

[@slickerdrips]

Thanks! Too excited for starting relics 😆

Finally got around to catching up on this, fantastic playthrough Tom! Glad to hear you enjoy this game, I've personally been having a blast playing it and have already put numerous hours in it. Taking on 3 elites in Act 1 is a bold move, but seems like you've got a solid deck going. I was definitely worried when you grabbed Accuracy with no shiv cards (especially over Dagger Spray), but thankfully you got some good shiv cards. Small rules note: When elite enemies summon additional enemies, the elite goes and the far right and the summons before them. Wouldn't have made a difference for the Sentry fight but there are some elites in Act 2 where this matters more. Looking forward to seeing you play this more! :)

[@slickerdrips]

Yeah it was a silly risk to take Accuracy but luckily it paid off! I'm always dying in the video game for taking on too many elites too early or taking very risky cards

Great you made it - at 1 life nonetheless! :D Such a satisfying end of act 1. Deck also looks great I think ^^ We are currently a bit obsessing over this game playing at 2 and 3 players. It scales so perfectly. Love the co-op and good to see it also works well solo. Think it might be a bit tougher solo as the co-op allows to more focus on the nastier opponents or give each other block. Really like that they took such great care when porting the game. Think it actually feels better than the app :D There is also that table that allows to start at a later act, the ascension mode and unlocking of cards - the perfect mix of possibilities to make this a forever keeper for me ^^. Looking forward to act 2 and have a great weekend Tom!

[@slickerdrips]

Yeah it does feel a bit harder solo after playing it with 2 and 3 - ending with 1 life feels satisfying like nothing was wasted 😀

Great video thanks for this

[@CallipygianMoose]

I have the foil ones but didn't use them. I don't know why but having some foil and some not triggers me 😅

[@slickerdrips]

I forget which are foil so I'm excited to find one :D

[@anon404d]

I think you could've used the gamblers brew in the event for all your health back. Great video btw

[@slickerdrips]

Thanks! I didn’t think about using it for an event, well spotted!

[@JoeHuddleston]

On the Wheel of Change you could have used your Gambler's Brew to change the die to 1 and heal to full?

[@slickerdrips]

Thanks, didn’t even think about using it outside a fight I’ll have to bear it in mind next time 🙂

[@johnx140]

Omg, i love this game!!!! Will it be available for Amazon?

[@slickerdrips]

The late pledges are shipping so I’d think it’d be on the way to shops soon 🙂

[@Dino-f5y]

I hate that this is too expensive for me and always out of stock even if I did magically have enough cash. its sich an awsome thing to have as a sts fan :(

[@benjaminsyttkus2499]

Which Version of the game is this? I definitly got another version of the sentinels in my copy.

[@slickerdrips]

Collector’s Edition, maybe they’re the ascension sentinels?

[@benjaminsyttkus2499]

That's it. Ty​@@slickerdrips

[@benjaminsyttkus2499]

Sorry to say but taking Accuracy over Dagger Spray is one of the worst picks i have every seen in a playthrough.... "Luckily" you got some shivs.....

[@slickerdrips]

I believe I was saying that as I took them! It’s ascension 0, I felt like taking a chance 😀 “luckily” The Silent’s deck is full of them

[@benjaminsyttkus2499]

There are 6 or 7 cards in total that generate Shivs in the whole deck. Ignoring one of silents premium AOE spells for a curse just seems wrong.

[@slickerdrips]

I just like shivs 🙂

@@benjaminsyttkus2499 it’s a game. There are ways to play games other than trying to always make the most objectively perfect choice.
