This is a really nice game and it even feels like a dungeon crawler. So far I have lost 3 times in a row. After 10 losses I might add one of the red cards that are sorted out of the game. So cool what you can do with a simple deck of cards :-)
I know, right? One deck of cards is enough for pretty much infinite games, solo as well as multiplayer. Also, it's great that you're playing this game! I think it really is one of the better solo games you can play with a deck of cards.🙂 But there's more coming soon! ✌
Glad I stumbled onto this video, great design. I really like these designs using just a regular deck of cards. I'm working on a design myself that is looking promising, but not polished yet. I will be watching your other videos like this in your playlist for sure. Thanks for sharing these great games!
@@SirThecos Thank you for the encouragement. I crossed a threshold where I think the game is pretty good now, though always open to input and suggestions. Not sure if you'd be interested to cover it, but in case you're interested I made a play through video: ua-cam.com/video/1vZRqQMW1m4/v-deo.html
@@SirThecos Just a heads up that I've made an updated video for my Haunted Solitaire game, if/when you have some time that is :) ua-cam.com/video/JLDSSG1j3-k/v-deo.html
It reminds me of donsol, but I would say this one it's easier. In donsol you have all the 54 cards including jokers. In donsol the Q it's 13, the K it's 15 and the Ace it's 17. The red face cards and Aces (weapons and potions) value it's 11. The jokers are called Donsols and they're value it's 21 (the maximum life points value) which means that you can't beat a donsol without a new weapon. It's a very amusing game.
I like this game, but it's difficult. Essentially it has to go perfectly, luck and strategy. I like to call this game Prince of Persia because of how hard it is and the setup reminds me of the original game. Someone on a different thread suggested keeping the 2 jokers in the deck to use as parry attack cards, and this really helps when you don't want to be on such a losing streak. The jokers don't stack on other weapons and don't take damage from defeated monsters.
The Joker rule is a good idea, but you can also scale the difficulty by removing some of the monster cards. I'm just learning it so I remove the black Kings and Aces. I'm winning about 60% of the time so I will gradually add them back in as I get better at it.
I'm not quite sure but somewhere I found them formatted like this. All I had to do was print them and then cut them in a specific way so that I could fold them like this. 🤔
I have this same question. The official rules don't cover it, so I just discard the weapon I don't want. It makes no sense to be forced to equip a weapon that is inferior to the one currently equipped.
What would happen if you have 3 healing cards in 1 round? Since you cannot heal more than once per round, would you have to skip that room? Because you would not be able to use 3 cards, even if you left 1 of the healing for the next room
No, I wouldn't have to skip it. You can use the first healing card - all other healing cards in the room are merely discarded (without the healing effect being triggered).
If you have a room with a lot of red cards, you might want to skip the room so as not to waste the healing and weapons. Then you may be able to use them later.
Wow i searched many games like this and i am happy to see this! Good one!
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 🤓

Would love to see a video like this on dungeon solitaire: tomb of the four kings. Nice job!
Noted! ☺️
This is an excellent card game! Thank you again for showcasing this.
My pleasure! 🙃

Go for it - I'll keep my fingers crossed for your design! And thanks for the support! 😊

Awesome video Sir Thecos. This looks like a super fun solo game!
It really is! It is simple and plays quickly but still leaves you with quite a few tactical decisions. I highly recommend trying it out! ✌️
Great game. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it! ☺️
Thank you
No problem! 🤓
wow this actually looks really fun
It is - I can definitely recommend it! 💯
cool game, appreciate this
I'm glad to hear that! 😊
Good game ❤
It is! 🙃

Lemons are for puny mortals. I use watermelons 🍉.
You have the most enormous gaming table! 😳

It sounds like it! 😅 I'll definitely check it out - thanks for the heads up! ✌️
Gracias por la enseñanza! 👍🏞️🏰♥️🧪♣️🧟♦️🗡️♠️🧛🏞️🏰👍
De nada! 🙂
Great video and great game. I just lost twice in a row. :)
Thank you - yeah, the game isn't all to easy to win but I think that's a great thing. It keeps it exciting and fresh. 😁
I love using lemons to keep track of HP!
I know, right? Everyone should be doing that - of course, you do need the necessary table space.
What do you do if you have more than one weapons in one room? Or if you don’t want to take any of the weapons in a room?

Maybe a joker has to be used immediately and it can eliminate any enemy. If there aren’t enemies it destroys the highest card in the room.
How did you print it in that booklet form
I'm not quite sure but somewhere I found them formatted like this. All I had to do was print them and then cut them in a specific way so that I could fold them like this. 🤔
Nice game! I tend to use oranges 🍊 😅 🙃
Yeah, it's a matter of taste - the real pros use watermelons or pumpkins. 😉
That has to be the most fiddly health tracker I've ever seen. Such an odd design and easy to knock or bump.
What happens if you have 3 weapons and a monster in a room? Can you discard weapons like potions?
I have this same question. The official rules don't cover it, so I just discard the weapon I don't want. It makes no sense to be forced to equip a weapon that is inferior to the one currently equipped.

20 lemons! BWAAHAHAHHA!!!
