Looks like good light fun, great for a start of the night filler in the pub. I was expecting the timer app to throw in some challenges though - traps (discard a card, drop hand limit for 20s, etc), random encounters (monsters that have to be dealt with).
You played the divine shield and put it on your discard. Technically this should be put into the "played" pile because it was played, not discarded. I don't think it affected your game, but could give an incorrect advantage if someone plays the card that lets you draw from your discard.
Saw this game on ks but decided not to pledge ...now after seeing the run through i actually feel sorry for not doing it, game looks short , fun and addictive . maybe not the best artist graphic or dippiest mechanic but it looks fun and fells enjoyble. thank and here is a like :)
Which take effect first? The door effect? At 8mins yish, The door said discard all cards on hand Then she use her card to bomb the door. Shouldn't the door take effect first, therefore unable to use the card she has on hand?
We haven't even beat the first boss yet actually never even got to him but in fareness we did not use 2 decks for 2 player game and only played a couple times
i don't believe so, so if you don't own a laptop or mobile phone, you'll have to use the timer on your kitchen stove (or put a glass of water in the microwave and use that timer) :)
Thanks for the reply..Well i got a phone and smartwatch..plus a 5min sandclock in another boardgame. its a pity that it doesnt come with a clock by itself. Im all for manual games..so it should come with a timer, if time is essential.
JDawg yeah, all of us on bgg FB group got confused because KS was converting the total price back to CAD after pledging. So we all thought it was over $38 U. S DOLLARS for the early bird, but we figured it out.
JDawg I've backed other KS from Europe and the likes and I swear it showed my total in U. S. Dollars before. I think this is the first one that converted the total back to the foreign currency. It was so confusing.
Seb Patry they didn't win. Actually she can't play Magic Bomb since it counts one of each resources. They cannot play resources that's not covered at the Boss.
Just saying, Jen had wayyyy to many cards. Then rules clearly say that you are supposed to not draw a new card until you reach the card max. She continues to draw.
I dislike these speed games. Instead of being cooperative, there is the risk of the payers fighting by the time the time runs out if one player is too slow and the other loses his patience. There are much better coop games and I also find these games too stressful. If I am going to end up sweaty from the stress and the frantic movements, I can think of several better ways to do that. Cool review as always.
I disagree, the reason I love speed games is because they are frantic. And about fighting, I can’t think of any game where there is no risk in fighting, I mean you can get mad at people I’m freaking candy land
Just bought this game 30 minutes ago. I cant wait to play this game tonight with my son.
This seems like a perfect way for me and my girlfriend to split up! 😂
12:30 The magic bomb is "one of everything", she said. Wouldn't that mean it would be one shield, not all three?
yup, jen actually played 2 magic bombs and a wild card at that moment, but she played them off camera :)
Aha! I thought maybe she was picking up bad habits from you ;)
this game is a ton of fun!! I hope there comes any expansions any soon --- I see this game has a lot of potential :)
I have found that the wizard and thief work together supper well. You can draw 4 while time is paused to beat the monster if possible.
Divine shield + Beast Hunter is another good strategy in the same vein.

well, then the game wouldn't work with other timers :)
Thanks for the breakdown. Really helped for the kids and I.
Love seeing you guys together :)
whathemilyellen this is my first time actually seeing them together. Great play through
Thank you!!! I can’t wait to play it!!
lol, I got stressed just watching them play... :D
I just played this today with two others got stuck at the dragon
My wife and I beat the whole game in one sitting on our first try, no redos. No fights, no stress - just rapid thought and communication.
bravo! :)
Impressive
Suuuuuurrre

I’ve played this game once with four people. We got through it first try
Nice game. Feels like Escape with cards :)
My mate and I went through 1 to 4 on our first try. It was so intense
Didn't have high expectations coming into this, but it looks awesome. Looks like you could have a blast with the right casual play group.

Looks intense and fun!
Which take effect first?
The door effect?
At 8mins yish,
The door said discard all cards on hand
Then she use her card to bomb the door.
Shouldn't the door take effect first, therefore unable to use the card she has on hand?
sorry, it's been a few years since i played, so i don't remember specifics :)
We haven't even beat the first boss yet actually never even got to him but in fareness we did not use 2 decks for 2 player game and only played a couple times
Good teamwork. Good job.
great fun and speedy game! so hasty to play.. thanks for the playthrough video, rahdo!
Does the game come with a sand clock or something, so you dont need an app for it? Or only playable with a smartphone?
i don't believe so, so if you don't own a laptop or mobile phone, you'll have to use the timer on your kitchen stove (or put a glass of water in the microwave and use that timer) :)

I just bought a 5 minute hourglass at ebay ($5) to use with the game, to pause it, just lay it down 90º :)
Yes..i got a 5min sandclock in Spaceteam the card game..used it several times now when the phone batt died
You just need a timer, everything else is in the deck
The high shipping cost may hurt their Kickstarter campaign. That's seems to be the buzz.

At walmart now
the game states, you are only supposed to play one card at a time!
Possible to play this solo?
not officially you'd have to come up with variant rules
Seems fun but I could never play this game. I cannot process information this quickly lol
Congratulations for winning
Seb Patry they didn't win. Actually she can't play Magic Bomb since it counts one of each resources. They cannot play resources that's not covered at the Boss.
so jen could pass her whole hand then you can discard 9 cards so she can draw 12 and you start with 17.
Yay!!!! Jen!!!!
Intense!
They seem like a cute couple if he can keep from being annoying. ;)
cannae do it, captain!
Just saying, Jen had wayyyy to many cards. Then rules clearly say that you are supposed to not draw a new card until you reach the card max. She continues to draw.
timestamp please
The rule is that you can always redraw to your starting hand size if you have fewer. There is no maximum hand limit.
Man you griped at her A LOT. Let her play her game and have fun. You questioned every decision she made. WHY? Its a TEAM game
i respectfully disagree
Omg it took an infuriating amount of time for y'all to actually start playing lol sorry but jeez
2x speed is a powerful tool! i never watch youtube without it :)

Unknown EXACTLY
"5 minute dungeon" ... spends 10 minutes talking before game even starts
