Slay the Spire: The Board Game - Solo Gameplay...Is Act 1 Hard Enough? 

20:30 on death the large slime was supposed to summon 2 other slimes, the fight was not over.

Hi Alex!! The first encounter should use the "1st Encounter" deck. There should be 4 in there somewhere. They will make your first fight less brutal. Great playthrough :)

Thank you for this. I had no clue this kickstarter existed.

Cool play through. Thanks!

Ty for the video!

Cultist + Louse is the first fight? Damn, this game is hardcore.

Just to give you the heads up, the large slime in the boss battle (that spawned after you killed the main boss) had a 10 with a gold square around it and the 2 had a gold square around it. I assume this means that it would start with 12 health not 9.

@25:35 I love Movie Magic :D

Which version are you playing with? I can not decide if I should back the standard option or go with the deluxe option. Usually dont use playmats at all, not sure if it is worth it. However I would like to have the metal coins.... not an easy decesion this.

Games looks very nice

Nice video, good quick play. Did you originally draw a "first encounter" card? (rulebook pg. 9)

Funny thing, the watcher is my most loved char followed by the defect

This kinda demonstrates non player of the computer game will face a quite complex set of rules they're likely to misinterpret .

Neglecting Dash and Dagger Spray as the first 2 cards really hurts

Wait why didn't you split the slime when you killed it ?

That hoody looks really good. Can I ask where it is from? Might want one :)

Black Blood is Ironclad only and replacement of it original relic.

Any idea if this is currently purchasable I can't seem to find it

Was the easy pool modified for the board game? Cultist +1 for your first combat is brutal.

I worry that the digital version of this game is a little too fast-paced for quite so faithful a board game implementation. For instance, I can't see myself moving my energy block back and forth each turn. And shuffling your deck so much seems like it could get tiresome.

Is the tabletop sim version of this game available to the public?

Was this back before the two extra coins and solo artifact were added?

Go ahead

What card protectors are you using (if you don't mind me asking)?

Can you PvP with Spire champions? Love the idea of championing each other’s decks and seeing how builds do against each other. Something I think is missing from the video game. How much relic hoarding is there? I find always buying and pathing for relics can make for some well tuned decks with lots of permanent buffs in play, overpowering them significantly. Got this game on the PS4 and just revisited it. Five battles before the act 3 boss in my best run ever, I paused and accidentally quit out!!! So, the campaign ends when 3 big RPGs that I’m watching also end. Monty Python, Cowboy Bebop and Stokerverse. And I just backed Paranoia. The most fun and memorable RPG I’ve ever played, where everyone is a hidden traitor. However, I also backed Old Gods of Appalachia RPG, based on an awesome horror anthology series podcast. Well worth checking out. Household, a fairies, sprites and other little people RPG ported and later abandoned by CMON. Brindlewood Bay, I wouldn’t have noticed if not for Room&Board and Wicked Ones… that you randomly mentioned once with Shelfclutter. Thanks for the play Alex.

You were supposed to split the large slime

woot

The game looks great and maintains the challenging aspect but the overhead is too tedious. Backing this when you already own an overhead free version just doesn't feel practical.

Why would anyone put themselves through this especially when only playing solo. The video game has the perfect pace so that losing is not very frustrating and you just want to go again. I never could see myself playing this back to back solo

The Price is brutal 😭

this looks like more work than fun

Doesn't really appeal to me. The video game is nice because it automates all the complexity so you can just go and do it. this requires way too much setup for me.
