Nice overview! Really appreciate going through a few rounds in addition to setup to get a good feel for the game. As a former MTG player and fan of tower defense, this looks excellent!
Really enjoy the game personally and definitely going to back the expansion content. IMO don't just get the base retail version as although really cheap i don't think it's enough variety so if the game interests anyone maybe best considering the gameplay all in as a minimum to get the most out of it. Also think the precon Yellow expansion deck is the hardest to play and needs some deck building. Apparently it's Tear as in Torn not Tear as in crying.
I think you're the only TH-camr I've heard pronounce the name Skytear correctly. I wasn't sure myself a year ago, so I asked the game designer. So if anyone else is wondering, Rolling Solo is correct. It is, according to the designer, "tear" as in "to rend." 🙂
@@RollingSolo Yes, your videos are always top notch! I've been enjoying your new series of top 10 videos! Some unique takes I haven't seen before, along with your take on it each one. Thanks!
Played Skytear Horde at the Spiel in Essen. It was fun, but the prices they suggested there (not sure anymore what that price was) seemed to me too high at that point. Somehow over the years I tend towards games that are a lot cheaper but don't come with super high quality components.

Hey Karl! Glad to hear it. Always good to know whether the video landed and was helpful. If you were into MTG there is a lot to like here.
Great play through, very helpful. Thanks.
No problem! Happy to help and hope to see you around. 👍🏼

I highly recommend the deluxe version of this game! The campaign will have this option for sure.

Oh, and I see Rockmagnet said the same. :-)
I’ll take it! Thanks for watching too. 👏🏼

Thanks John. Looking forward to doing more unique videos in the future too!

That’s very fair! The game is solid all around. I was pretty impressed. I think they have a solid system and can now work on late game even more.
I immediately thought of eon’s end when sawing this. Which one you think is a better for solo (taking reply value) ?
Tough call! I think these both stand on their own and are unique. I lean more towards this one atm.
Why can the shaman attack If it is exhausted?
Hey! It can attack. Exhausted cards don’t stop cards from attacking. Thanks for watching!
