    In case there's any confusion for those watching: The EXP pattern on the reference card is not a pattern you can do in any order. It MUST be completed in the order shown: blue, green, yellow, and then red. (The same order as the asset columns on the player board.) You can rotate it, but you can't mix up the pattern, so it's not just one of each. The creators have confirmed this several times, but a lot of UA-cam playthroughs so far have missed this and just referred to it as having one of each without any particular order being required.

      ​@@TotallyTabledSome years ago, friends of mine worked on a Shadowrun game that combined dice rolling and then inserting the rolled results into a slide puzzle matrix to trigger skills and effects. It was a spectacularly well though out and working concept. Unfortunately the game never made it to publicity or campaign level due to licensing / legal issues.
      Until today, the small glimps I had into that system stuck with me and I hope sombody will eventually pick it up and flesh it out properly. The slide puzzle mechanic on its own deserves more utilization.

    52:06 Are you actually allowed to use more than one die at a time during combat? From the rules I understood that you use dice one by one, even if the frame allows multiple dice. It's just that you can use that frame with one die on each of the combat rounds. (Of course, in this scenario, The Oracle had already attacked, so it would not matter too much. But I just wanted to clarify.

      I only had one shield, so I used all my shields and then took the leftover damage. If I had two shields, I'd have to use both of them -- I wouldn't be able to choose to spend only one. To put it another way, you must spend all the shields you can to stop as much of the damage as you can. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching!

    • @TotallyTabled
      @TotallyTabled  Рік тому +1

      Ah, I see the confusion. What I was trying to do there was kill the enemy in one turn before they could attack me back. To do that I needed 3 basic attacks on the dice so I could play them all at once. That meant I needed to reroll both dice. Sorry for the confusion.

    • @StormBladerXx
      @StormBladerXx Рік тому

      Oh I think I get it. Is that because the big attack can only be used once and would be resolved before the small attacks anyways? I was thinking about just rolling the blank and hoping for another big hit to do 4 damage? But I guess that's not possible

      @@TotallyTabled Been a while, but I saw it on sale along with the lost pages expansion and decided to just go for it. Its quickly become my go to relax game since its still got depth in tactics whilst also being low stakes (it doesn't really matter if you have to reset, rolling for trace is fine since enemies give you experience, etc.). I also love that its a campaign whilst still resetting the core gameplay every time, again makes it feel more relaxing. Component quality is just as fantastic as I thought it would be as well.
      I do think the expansion is quite vital to keep things fresh, the living city cards really adds to the feeling of exploration. I've decided to be responsible and not completely binge the game, but it doesn't feel repetitive at all since the patterns are constantly changing between factions, bodies, learning protocols and the scenarios themselves.

I love the slide puzzle mechanism at the core of the game. If that doesn't appeal to you, then I would maybe look elsewhere. The story is interesting, but not so gripping for me that I'm playing for the story. No, I'm playing for the slide puzzles and the fun dice combat. I would love to see this slide puzzle mechanism in a medium-heavy euro game. Still, I think most people would have a great time with this. I might prefer it with two players, actually. But the solo works great. Great game IMHO but YMMV. :) Thanks for watching!
