Thanks so much for checking out my game! What an honor to be on the channel as a long time viewer.
Only note is the rule on looting - items you loot from chest come from a random card from the discard pile not the draw pile, that way it’s not a penalty for getting an item.
Glad you seem to enjoy it. Happy capturing!
Did you do the art as well?
@@goodjessehobbies I wish I was that multi talented but the art was the one thing I didn’t do. I contracted the art from Lorenzo Uccheddu. I had given him rough idea reference pictures and the theme of it being drawn on old parchment and he knocked it out of the park. Will be working with him on my future stuff for sure.
Very cool game, I just ordered it. Too bad it takes a long time to arrive in Germany.
@@DanielK81Hey Daniel hope you enjoy the game when it arrives! Yeah - the shipping time overseas is a big bummer but with print on demand it’s the only way I can get the game out there as a solo designer. Thanks for giving it a chance!
Would it be pointless to mix two decks together ?
I love this game, it plays so quick.
One thing to note, if u get a treasure chest u shuffle the discard pile for the item and draw from there. Not the draw deck.
Thanks for catching that!
That makes a huge difference
I backed this one as well. Very simple, yet clever, design! You also know I love small tin games. lol. I love the blackjack press-your-luck element, but I think that what makes this shine from a design perspective is the deck also being your health. We have seen this before, but this uses it perfectly to create tension for the player. I will be keeping an eye on this designer.
One thing that I think could elevate the design is if when you draw a card, the player can choose to pass on it. Enemies with high health are obviously more difficult. Perhaps when the player draws an enemy, they can evade the combat, by paying an additional card and the player doesn't get to capture the enemy. This would add another choice for the player and create even more tension. Maybe you pass on the ogre, paying a card, and draw the death knight. ouch!
Hey Jason, thanks for the kind words! Your tin series was a big inspiration for me getting this design seen through to the end and out there for others to enjoy.
I love the idea of running past a monster and burning your hp a bit faster to see if you get an easier one next - great idea, will keep this in mind for any potential expansions.
Just got my copy. Ordered it after you showing it here. Gotta say, it's a great little experience. Thanks for making me aware of these types of games.
Hope you enjoy it!
Awesome to see that you're now doing full tutorials and let's plays!!! Teasing haha. Great video, as usual.
lol! :).
I like this game as well. As you said a novel use of card space. Thanks for showing it!
Just ordered it based on your video. I’ve been playing Tin Helm, Deckula, mini rogue, set a watch. I never was interested in solo board games but I’m hooked now and I’m waiting on Desolate and the Gates. I wish I could get a nice already printed copy of Galdor’s Grip
Right on! I haven't heard of Galdor's Grip. I'll have to look into it.
Got it on the crowd sale; and I love it! Play it daily on lunch breaks.
Hearing this brings a smile to my face - Happy capturing!
love it, quick play game that I play at lunch. Backed it.
Just got and played my copy Daniel! Fun little game!
When drawing an item shuffle it out of your discard pile. The rules say so
What a fantastic use of the tin and black jack style gameplay. I’m definitely going to order this one. Now I’ll need to figure out how to design a game in a mint tin. Such a cool game idea though!!
Great looking game. Would work really well as a simple app.
As per the rules, Daggers should announced as 1 or 6 before drawing another card.
I actually just picked this one up during the summer sale! I'm with you, the art is lovely and I just had to have it. Thanks for the video!
It is very interesting. Simple and clean. I like the artstyle and card design, this is IMHO multiple use cards done right. Sometimes when we see multiple use cards we get cards that feel very convoluted.
Love this game. I do have some rules I changed. I draw items from discard, etc to make it easier if I want
I LOVE this game. Got it a few weeks ago and play it daily. It’s simple, fun and can literally be played anywhere.
EDIT: I think when you earn a treasure from defeating a creature you draw from the discard pile and not your deck. I could be wrong on that though.
That's right! I misread that part.
So, this looks kinda neat. What's weird is my first thought was something kind of like Hexplore it (it's on the mind, since I obtained a copy--oh my god this game is great and it eats an entire table, holy crap) but now that I look at it and watch the video, I get some actual thoughts of Crystallo, of all games. If you've never played Crystallo, it's the game that got me into solo-gaming, and I would put this on par with it. Anyhoo, great video, now I wanna buy a copy. Jeez, this channel makes my wallet suffer... oh well, at least I get to have fun. :D
This looks pretty fun. It reminds me of the classic solo game, Friday.
Friday was an inspiration for sure when I was designing the game :)
This looks pretty great and fast. Love the art. Do you know if the artist is the game designer?
Hey goodjesse I replied to your other comment on who did the art. He’s in the rule cards/credits - he did an amazing job and I’ll be working with him for my future projects for sure
Hm, looking at this and things that attracts your attention, I think you would probably liked Ragemore.
I came back to Ragemore a few times during development of Cursed!? - I agree good recommendation!
What a gorgeous little game. Quick, simple, portable - an easy short break time filler.
A well designed little game.
Are there sleeves for this size of card that will fit in the tin?
Don’t know. I no longer sleeve my games.
Seems incredibly hard to actually win - almost unbalanced if I'm honest haha
Every loss has been super close, like 1 or 2 cards/points away. I think it's very tightly balanced, but you have to play smartly, something I never, ever do because I'm terrible at games! LOL!
Hey Juten - I hear it gets more consistent once you get some plays in and you know the card value pool. Knowing you’ve already used a lot of 3 value cards early on you may not press your luck later hoping for one.
Using the items to get max value in terms of saving you cards is a big factor in playing well too.
With any push your luck sometimes it’s just not on your side. That said my win rate is around 85% as the creator/designer.
Hope you give it another go - happy capturing!
I’m at about a 40% win rate, which I feel is pretty perfect. Keeps me going back for more.
@@dahmeedee A big part of why I wanted to keep the game short is for the just one more go feel. That and when luck is not on your side you don’t feel like a ton of time is wasted.
I thought you get a starting weapon at the start. Not a starting item.
Do what the rules say. I make mistakes all the time and this is not a teaching videos.
Hey baroldalt it is indeed a starting item and not weapon
Too abstract for my taste. Forgetable.
Nothing makes thematic sense.
Small tin microgames should aim for thematic immersion, or at least try.
This game will do the same without theme or illustrations.
Hey there, That's your opinion and I respect it! The idea is your cursed and everything you touch breaks and turns to ash after a few moments so your using all new stuff you find on dead adventurers. Tried to tie it in with capturing the souls (damaging but not over killing or "busting" the monsters) so she will lift the curse.
That said I aimed to keep it very pick up and play so its for sure not a thematic masterpiece! Happy gaming.
I don't get your comment... All games are sort of mathematic turned to a gaming experience. The theme is part in your head and part on the game art. It seems to me this game has a very nice graphics, consistent, pleasant to the eye. I think it's just a matter of opinion. Cheers
@@vincenzogiambusso It is true that all game mechanics are abstractions to some degree, but mechanics should make thematic sense for a game to be thematic, otherwise the theme will just be an UI, just a tool to make the game aesthetically pleasing and easy to understand and follow, but the theme will not come through via the mechanics of the game. This happens a lot with Euros, the games are gorgeous, especially nowadays, but the themes are just UIs, nothing more. If you like your games to be just a mix of mechanics with some nice graphics and art on top, that is fine, I understand it can be enjoyable for many, we all look for different things in games.
