One minor correction on your light explanation. You need only 1 Light to cancel out the closest dungeon rank's light penalty. Also, I find the easiest way to remember how the penalty affects the game by simply adding 2HP to a creature for each -1 light.

I have not played either, but I just actually ordered both. They are similar in that you create your own deck during play, but from there, they seem very different. Depending on who I'd be playing with, I'd play one or the other.

I would make only one suggestion: The camera is too close to the cards at times. Pulling the camera back a bit would give a clearer view. Great review, though. After reading the rulebook, I wanted a better go-through of the game play, which you offered. This one's definitely on my buy-list.

I totally agree on your analysis. I've only played this once or twice, and you were very correct about the confusion of multiple numbers on the cards. However, the few times I did play, I had a blast, even if I lost handily. :)

When going to the dungeon I think the light is 1 -2 - 3 which would give you -2 -4 and -6 attack.

@Medsas I've only played this game limited # of times, but from what I've seen, at the very least, it's there. For example, the level 2 thief character when used, causes all other players to discard one card from their hand.

Just glancing at the review, I can see what he means. The icons on the cards are not very clear at all. It's a red 1, and a green 2. Other card type games, have very clear icons and text to explain what they do. Still.... looks kind of cool.

I love thunderstone! But this is the 1st game of many... If you're new - look up the starter edition as it help understand the game and basic strategy. My full thought on the starter edition and why I prefer it over the original base are here: www.squidoo.com/how-starter-is-the-thunderstone-starter-set :) PS: This game is really amazing and underrated :(

While Dominion is the first in the deck building genre, don't hate on these games! I own Thunderstone and Rune Age and both have very different flavors and honestly end up getting pulled out much more often.

The main issue that bothers me at the moment is that it feels like another D&D-lite-done-eh. Of secondary concern is that there appears to be plenty of lag / downtime later on, when the decks become larger. Compound this with three or four players or more ((if the game allows)) and it would seem the problem becomes worse. Having watched a few games of Dominion and witnessing the above issues, I would imagine they would similarly be present in Thunderstone.

This is a fun game but the instructions are a tad wordy. It works far better when you can have a person teach you the game rather than learning from the instructions. One nice thing about this rather than Dominion. Since the Thunderstone is towards the back of the dungeon deck the games will go longer. No massively fast Province rush decks that end in a few minutes. I think compare this to base Dominion and it looks more promising. Looking forward to seeing expansions.

They have different play styles it seems like. Sounds like a preference thing. I quite like Dominion.

I'm actually not a fan of Thunderstone. It's trying to do too much with the light, leve/experience, magic/melee attack and the strength system. I played it at Spiel 2010 and it was quit boring. We just played 3-player solitair and waited for the end. Ascension and Dominion are much more fun imho with Ascension > Dominion

While I like the explained design your deck while playing mechanic, the idea of throwing away your weapons and followers after each turn feels wrong to me. I think I would prefer to play keeping your accumulated gear and just adding discards and new items to the discard pile.

This is funny reading based on pop culture in 2018 with tremendous amount of fantasy and super heros in all types of media. I could not disagree more about a family enjoying this especially mine. I suppose we have always been a little "nerdy" but im cool with that

Seems intersting but the theme is horrible! Fantasy? Come on, I'm not 12 anymore. Might be intresting for teens though. Will check out Dominion.
