- Do the 2021 rules updates to this puzzling #dungeoncrawler make it worth playing? I demo game play and try to figure that out.

I have owned this game for a long time, and while ive only played a handful of times, i really enjoy it. Im glad to hear the develop is still supporting it and releasing content for it.
Really love your thoughtful and articulate videos!
Glad you like them!
I'm so happy this channel is succeeding..
Yay! More GeekGamers just when I've finished work for the day. 👏👏
Well if you are working on a Sunday that’s especially good to have some relaxing time!
I completely agree with your assessment of how this game is frustrating but something always brings you back. The updated rules are much easier to read. I love the card art and flavor text it adds something to the game. Yes, the game is brutal. But so is Magic the Gathering Arena which for a time I said I had enough but came back to for a short time.
Your house rules make sense. The idea of permanently attaching a weapon, armor or skill I think makes sense. Your right the next card can be the easiest or toughest card to deal with. Thanks for this video. Thanks for letting us know about the new sets!
I wrote three comments but erased them. Instead, I'm giving you a virtual hug and hope you manage to find a way to make this game do want you want from it.
❤ As always, such a fair and comprehensive analysis! Love your work!
Hello Geek. Long time no see. Your videos inspire me. I am currently struggling to meet people online (and In Real Life), in order to play D&D. It's not easy to find the proper table, the proper adventure game modules and the proper ambience we want to experience. I may be creating my own dungeon crawler system soon.
I’ve never gotten rid of the game but I just can’t wrap my head around some parts of it. So when I come back,I have to start all over again. They need a significant tutorial play through showing everything.
Somebody who is adept at playthroughs (I’m not) NEEDS to do that for this game!
Nice demo. I’d love a full game video.
Me too! But that’s not my forte I’m afraid. I hope someone steps up-the game needs that.
Lol! 4:10 into this vid,and between that rad epic intro, and these conflicted thoughts, and comparisons to other big slugging games, I have no idea what lies ahead for the remaining 50 min, but strapped in! (sure it will be great!)
Hope the vid lived up to itself!
@@GeekGamers01 Yes, of course. I'm conflicted on games like this. I love the odd even weird art direction, but am also conflicted on it. the play seems not intuitive, but also interesting. I can see your conflict. Seems good though, we need games that arent the cookie cutter out there! thanks for covering the odd ones too!
Yes precisely… it is an odd duck but I give the designer props for continuing to make content even if he may be doing himself a disservice by not getting some help on some basic mechanical issues with the game. And it is funny what all these years will do to one’s perception of the art. He got flak (back when anyone even seemed to care about the game) for the unevenness of that art, and I likely complained a bit too. Now I can only salute him for using real artists and not AI.
Very much appreciated. I got it cheap on eBay, but haven’t played yet.
Good God I can see why you have such a love/hate relationship with this game... that's a lot of moving parts to keep track of for a solo game.
I also came back to this game. I almost sold it too.
How are you liking it the second time around and what made you come back to it?
Im actually liking it more the second time around. There’s something about the structure of how the dungeon Morphs and changes. The card play is challenging and believe it or not I like the wacky art mixed with the newer art for variety. The expansions have added a lot of value for me. Plus it’s small and easy to play once u know the keywords and game sequences. Maybe my expectations are less or after playing so many games over the years this one just feels like a comfortable memory of what a fantasy setting was in my mind.
I feel like the leveling up over time is lacking but I like ur idea of turning something into a permanent. I’m going to try a creating a way to for characters who survive a scenario get a benefit such as choice to have a permanent, or increase in an attribute, or other ideas like yours. Please continue to share you thoughts on house rules, I found your suggestions opened doors to new ideas. ❤
@raygun1966 Thanks… and you describe the reasons why I bought back into it… it’s easy to set up and gets the job done with just enough card play to make things interesting. I do like the (now quaint) art from the earlier sets with the other too. Will see how much it stays in my rotation after I get the stuff I reordered.
I've had a look at their website and can't find the starter you're referring to - keen to try this!
? It’s there, I just saw it. Not the greatest website but you should be able to see it.
The starter is the Unbound deck.
Another movie standard intro. You should be working for Netflix or Disney. Mind you, their content is less interesting.
Subscribed! I'd like to reach out to you about another solo card based game. :)
I think the business email is up on the site. You can write to citygeekgamers@gmail.com. Kindly allow up toa few days for a reply.
For level up, why not add a new card to your deck? Or is adding another card to the deck actually a detriment
Wouldn’t help that much.
Jfc. I just sat here for 15 minutes trying to find the name of the game then I finally realized that the name is _actually_ "Dungeon Crawler". I thought you were speaking in generalities. FailFish.
Nah I wasn’t but truly that may be another issue with the game itself. It has such a generic name!
@@GeekGamers01 the failure is certainly mine! I enjoyed the video and had a peek at the game, but, sadly, I can't justify anything new at the moment.
Interesting, looks like they're using AI art.
