    Thank you for your content. How would you compare this (if you are familiar) with bigger types of campaign games like League of dongeoneers? Thank you

    I really enjoyed your review, and an looking forward to my first game. Thanks for not giving away spoilers! I backed the KS including expansions and finally recieved it a few days ago.

    Can you mix and match the chapters and stories/missions from base game and expansions to create your own campaign as it were? I just found out about this game recently and fell in love with the art and the depth of the story, so I bought everything. To eternity, beyond the books, playmats etc. So the question is, can you mix and match the story and chapters? I don't see why not, but i have not tried it yet and dont know if it will mess with the rules.

      Avoiding spoilers... for the first couple of missions I would highly suggest not mix and matching.

    I also recommend this game, great solo experience. Also like the 2 books!!! Packed with extra story and theme.

    Nice review! You really have a similar vibe to Bryan from The Dice Tower. It’s pretty wild how similar both of your inflections are.

    Thank you for this review. Did you get any of the extras? I got the all-in, and it shipped - but still on its way, and I wonder if it was all worth it.
    Another thing - would you recommend starting with the same story you did as the first one? Or go directly to one of the expansion stories?

      I really wanted the add ons especially sleeves and the play mat. Unfortunately shipping just for the base game to where I live in the US was over $40. Hopefully I can find the add-ons on sale somewhere and snatch them up. I would highly recommend playing Horror in the Ice, they only ratchet up the challenge from there. Although starting with To Eternity isn't a terrible idea either. . . ..

      @Dr. D Shipping is super hit or miss where I live. CMoN tries to charge me $80 for shipping so I don't back any of their projects. Couple this with their terrible retail support... and I own 1 CMoN game...
      I live in the US but darn I feel like a 3rd world country some days!

      @Dr. D Alaska, about 7 miles from a major trade port too.
      Yes I grumble about it often 😀

    Great stuff, this has inspired me to buy (which I've done), and become a patron of the channel (which I've also done.). Verily worth it for 1 dollar a month ( or 1 euro where I'm from). Top review and a top how to play. Cheers.

    Can’t you use a dice to track armour? Not ideal, I know…..

      I have a few D8's just for that it works but would really love another tracker on character cards.

    Cardboard standees are weak, especially at this price point.
