    New content for this game is definitely planned! Would love to talk to you about it :)

    For $20 I couldn't resist. I ordered mine after watching your video. They can thank you later for the exposure. 😂

    Thanks for the Vid. I found the iconography rather lacking so I'm glad it's all explained in the rule book.

    League of Dungeoneers! I really should check out the new rules, but I'm in the middle of an Oathsworn Into the Deepwood campaign right now.

    I'm still waiting for my pre-order from miniature market. Thanks for covering this little hidden gem.

    Like this game… especially for 15€ it’s a steal. Really nice travel game in a very small box. And yes i agree the iconography is wired 🤣 anyway the art is bonkers. Really dig all the art. Thank you for this nice review. 🙏🏻👍🏻🙌🏻

    Nice. Thank you for exposing another simple small dungeon-esque travel game.
    Looks to have well-rounded, simple, but linked mechanics. Also despite you saying that it takes table space, I like the designs to reduce footprint, such as removal of enemy cards (only need token and cheet sheet) and that you primarily play on the 'cheat sheets' as you call them, and quest cards and map and that's (pretty much) it.
    Less components and refined playspace.
    So many of these games have too many components, it's nice to see one that thinks and links.

    Great review of a game that has some potential, especially in future editions or expansions.

    I received this game, but haven't had a chance to play it, so thank you for making this video 😁

    Good point on iconography it is such a huge part of board gaming that at times tends to get overlooked . I think tiny epic dungeons had some of the worst iconography out there.

    • @TheDungeonDive

      Yep! That game is unplayable without the cheat-sheet.

    I agree with your opinion on it and really wish the game was better. Traveling warrior doctor premise and the map building are awesome, but I wish the encounters and the theme were stronger.
    I would lean much more into the "plagued land" idea and fight infected people and animals, cultists worshiping the plague and opportunistic bandits. Really there's no need for trolls or giants or whatever other generic fantasy enemy types we get. Just lean into that plague and add some thematic non-combat encounters. Get a better resolution system going while we're at it and we would have a much better game.

    Seems interesting. It looks like the kind of game that will benefit from expansions (and a second edition).

    Thank you for the awesome video Daniel! Plz excuse me but Im still not good at the internet. This is actually the best way that I know of to message you
    Did you happen to see that pre-orders just opened up for the Tales of The Arthurian Knights?
    I dont know if your that interested in that game or not. And im super sure you already knew about it. But as the person who has done such an insanely amazing job at introducing so many people to so much awesomeness, including myself, I just wanted to share the news w you!
    Thank you again for everything and I hope you have an awesome weekend coming up here!

      Yeah! That looks cool. I'll probably be getting it.

    You can turn a 3 into a 4 or a 4 into a 3 would be what I see, and I’m wrong too haha

    I'm playing along, so don't know the icon answer yet. My guess is that you swap the position of a lower die for a higher die.

    Kinda seems unfinished. I love the theme, not a huge fan of the art but it has some ideas I really like. I think I’d rather have paid a bit more money and had a few more cards, missions and some better art. That iconography is nuts! Great and fair review!! I actually really like those map tiles, those are fun!

    • @TheDungeonDive
      @TheDungeonDive  2 місяці тому

      The map tiles are super cool! That iconography is so bad! LOL

    I think the map tiles are excellent - but so lacking elsewhere. Great playthrough and showcase, for $20 its not bad at all - but i have way to much of a backlog that i can't see this being in my 1100+ boardgame shelves... yea i have a problem.

      Jesus Christ that’s a lot of games. Lol. I can’t even imagine having a house big enough for that! Lol. :)
