I am glad my video was helpful. I hope all goes well with your making of the communion bread. God bless you.

I am not sure if you read the description as well, but I missed that the 5 high restriction has been removed in the new version.

​@@MerlinsManorI had missed that. Thank you for pointing that out 😁.

I went ahead and just got the deluxe version of Slay the Spire after a few days of hesitation. The price was steep, but I wanted it.

@@MerlinsManor Haaa I'm jealous haha! Even the deluxe! Hope to see a playthrough then!

@@eledv4521 I definitely want to do a full review... might do an unboxing... we will have to see if I feel up to doing a full teach and playthrough.

Thanks. I have an arm that I connect to a tripod that extends over the play area. I am not sure if I will get around to doing a walkthrough for 2nd edition any time soon. A lot of the core gameplay is the same just with different rules for ranged attacks (including friendly fire), search rules, spawn rules being a little different, and of course with the powers and devouring not being there. It probably would not be too hard to read up on the differences and implement them when you have a solid grasp of how the Marvel versions work.

That is a huge part of the luck mitigation, and from what I've seen a lot of people who even know it exists ignore it too often or don't set themselves up to be able to use it (by playing cards with less than 2 cards left too often or when success is vital).

@@MerlinsManor this is a game changer! 😀 and your analysis I feel is quite correct!

It's fun and challenging as the time frame to accomplish the goals is very tight.

@@MerlinsManor I've ordered it!

@@eledv4521 I hope you enjoy it!

I'm glad you liked the playthrough. I hope you enjoy the game... and may the odds be ever in your favor.

Yes, you must choose to sub in a ruler before you begin a round (conversation), so you should try to evaluate which rulers might be handy for the upcoming round... keeping in mind that if you don't wind up using the ruler, it will be wasted.

@@MerlinsManor thank you!

I have not played Mage Knight, and currently with so many campaign games and scenario based games that I am working through, I don't currently feel the pull to get this and add it.

I have not played the others. I only recently pulled the trigger on getting the base game. Too Many Bones does look interesting though. And as for the dice rolls, rolling lots of purple helps with that, but I guess even with my lower probability dice I got lucky some... and ironically rolled too many hits on my yellow dice the time I didn't want hits (lol).

@@MerlinsManor true haha and even though you got lucky with the rolls, you were also great at strategizing!

I am glad you are enjoying it.

The other versions of 20 Strong may feel less samey (idk as I have not tried them). I still have not tried playing with more missions with the higher difficulty level yet (4 missions at once is the most I have done so far). I am still hoping that having more mission to focus on will help some.

Yeah, I don't make use of Planning a lot either (very situational), but Improvise is a large part of my big attack turns and sometimes other situations where I want to get a lot done.

Thanks! I grew up playing Spades and Euchre, so I have taken to this game like a fish to water. The scenarios definitely start getting difficult as early as the second season (fall I think).

I have not played Akropolis, but from watching a video on it, it does not look too similar in how it plays.

There are incredible videos that address all combos of maps and bad guys that absolutely rock

Thank-you.

Thanks. I am glad you found the video helpful!

The standard is cardboard. There is an upgrade pack that I bought for $25 (I think) as part of the launch sale. The upgraded resources run $35 USD when not on sale.

Zombies really feels like the hardest of all killers. They are much more manageable at Storybook Woods and Station 2891.

It is fun. I need to get a few more plays in to see if it belongs in my top games of 2023 list.

Thanks. I hope you enjoy my vids.

I never did an actual review. The 8.5 was just the rating I originally assigned on BGG after several plays.

@@MerlinsManor appreciate you sharing thoughts after more plays and time! im just getting into tapestry myself! what were your thoughts on the expansions?

I like them mainly for the addition of more Civs. The Arts and Architecutre probably adds the most game change with the added track and cards that trigger during income. I have only played with the track once so far but we enjoyed what it added to the game. I am not sure which one added it, but I also appreciate the added landmark cards to start the game and the new Capitol mats. I basically mixed everything together and it all blurs together as to what came from where. They are all worth getting even if just for more Civs though.

@@MerlinsManor ty looking forward to it! just got the game and expansions!

Thanks. I feel like the Adventure Book Games are a 1 and done (at least once you have completed the Book). We have now played through the Princess Bride and Wizard of Oz books. We enjoyed them, but don't feel a need to replay. If you wind up losing, then you would probably play through again until you win... at least how I feel. Your mileage may vary. Still worth a go to me.

Thanks!

Thanks.

I really enjoy both games. I have a friend who really doesn't like Wingspan and he at least thought Wyrmspan was okay.

I have not heard of Mindbug; I will have to look into that one.

@MerlinsManor It is co-designed by Richard Garfield of MTG fame. They have done 2 crownfunding campaigns, releasing 3 standalone sets so far, and are launching a 3rd campaign to bring what looks like two more sets very soon.

Yes, that is a great one as well, and the Century games also have a unique take on hand management. This was one of my favorite videos for this series just because there are so many different ways this mechanism works in various games.

Thanks. I am glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks!

I'd rather just play the other Zombicides that are better without applying fixes. It was interesting enough to play scenarios related to NofLD, but after that I was done. I've got Black Plague, Marvel Zombies, and 2nd Edition (which could also probably use a few tweaks to make it harder). But if you have found some good fixes that work for you, then that is cool.

Straight up Zombie game would be Zombicide Black Plague followed closely by Marvel Zombies.. I also like the Terror From the Grave Vignette from Final Girl. Then there is Dead of Winter and Tiny Epic Zombies.

Thanks!

The final girl can have up to the number of hearts on her card, which is 5 for Red, which is also her starting health. Keep in mind the black circle token counts as 1 heart towards this, so that is why there are only 4 red heart tokens (4 hearts + black token = 5 hearts).

It certainly gives the game a different feel... does away with the tightness that is typical with Everdell. It's not my favorite expansion, but I do enjoy it when I am in the mood for a point salad version. Spirecrest is my favorite expansion.

Thanks.

Thanks. I find getting a game to the table and putting it away more enjoyable when a game is organized... but there is nothing wrong with the simple system of a bunch of baggies if that is what works for you. And there are some games I have that are just a bunch of baggies.

They unfortunately barely fit the unsleeved cards (at least depth wise). They might fit length and width wise... I don't seem to have any of the right sleeve size lying around right now to test out. If they did fit length and width wise you would need to get more boxes for the added depth, but I am not sure how you could fit an extra box or 2 in.

The Amazon link for the card boxes is in the description. The Gamegenic Token Silo is probably better to get at Gamenerdz or another game store as they were more expensive on Amazon.
