Thx for the rundown Rahdo! Will you do a runtrough? No one else has a Close-up playtrough yet of this Version. Haven't heard of this game before you introduced it. :-) Not sure if i wanna back it, kind of expensive, and would like more in-Depth before i deside.
i'm hoping to next month since it's the top thumbed game on requests.rahdo.com but i'm living out a suitcase right now so not sure if i cadn get it done before campaign is over
What about co-op rules!? Did they send you anything for their KS that is starting up? I'm torn as I'm all in on Aeon's End and I love that to bits, but I do love co-ops and don't mind a bit of overap if it offers a little something different... ah well, definition of First World Problems :)
nope, i know they're working on solo & co-op rules, and i asked if i could get an advanced peek at them to include that info in the video, but no dice!
That's wicked sad, I was hoping to get your take on those! Oh well, I may ask again later... hope you don't mind! I know you are busy with tons of stuff up. Still, I value your take a great deal :)
Gutock The print n play solo/co-op rules will be posted later today. I'm guessing they're just cleaning it up and didn't get it done before the KS went live, but theoretically, they should be the same, minus extras.
re: Angel Alita I think I'm coming to a similar conclusion. I'll take a look at the rules, but I don't know that I'm interested in this as a competitive game and there are so many great co-ops out there (and coming up) that I'm not sure I want to settle for an ok (or even good) variant. Thanks for your input!
Hello my friend, excellent video. Right now TQ is in Kickstarter. I don´t know if you play the Barricades Expansion. I have a doubt. Do I must spend 150 $us to buy a game for a solo mode.? I looking for a deep game, very puzzely and challenging likes Aeon´s End, Mage Knight or something like that. I felt the game it is too easy, not complex. I can`t felt assuming a rol playing or take risks as in Dungeon Alliance. Considering my expectations, would you recommend buying this game? Thanks and sorry for my bad english.
i'm sorry to say i haven't seen how the solo/co-op mode works! i've been trying to get the components from the publisher before the KS ends so I can film an updated video, but I haven't succeeded so far. i can say if you're looking for complex puzzley fantasy adventure card game you can play solo, probably the king of that hill is the Lord of the Rings Living Card Game from Fantasy Flight...
Hey Rahdo what are your thoughts on the Epic variant? I've only played the first mission in the quest book and am debating playing through the chapters or simply going straight to Epic where everyone's deck will be completely unique by the end.
The lantern allows you to go to the dungeon, but not to the wilderness, yet still, Rahdo, you went straight to the wilderness to fight the rodents of unusual size... did I miss any important information or was that simply played wrong?
It doesn't say to go to the dungeon. It says you may take a "Dungeon Phase" which has you start in the Wilderness and optionally move to other rooms. In fact, the Lantern card specifically says "If you do, you may not move out of the Wilderness", meaning you can ONLY go to the Wilderness.
I finally got this game and just played and pretty disappointed as from what I can tell there is no player interaction! Im basically waiting during the other players turn so kind of dull. I preferred something like Hero Realms. Maybe Thunderstone Quest is maybe better solo
Hmm Thanks for that rundowm man. I'll go cancel my pledge right now cause there is just nothing interesting enough to replace my advanced collection. I'll stick with the 2nd edition.
The whole dungeon that you physically move around is pretty good and makes the dungeon far more interesting to fight in, but I'm in agreement that it's not massively different to Thunderstone Advance. If I had a collection of Advance I would just keep that, but a passable collection with enough variety of that game will set you back easily $200 second hand these days.
people have been enjoying the thunderstone game system for years now, with tons and tons of expansion content released regularily, so there's some more stark contrast for ya
JW G. It is a race, with some competition involved if your fellow players try to advance the same heroes you have, or empty the market of particular cards. Most of the game is very deterministic, though.

Thanks for the rules rundown, this was very helpful!
i would have liked it even more if you made an extended video for this game :)
not really possible at the moment with my current situation living out of a suitcase. probably next month though once we hopefully get moved in
Damn I want more!!!

This game is competitive by nature, I don't believe it will play that well as co-op. Certainly not as well as Aeons End..

Is the video blurry for anyone else? It says 1080p but there's no way that's what I'm seeing.
I spent alot to get the sets for Thunderstone and Advanced, not sure i want to restart all over
I hope you'll do Abyss someday ; )
Good video. Thank you. I just bought it, excited to play it w hubby
Isn’t that giant rat card a nod to the Princess Bride?
i don't think they exist :)
@@rahdo lol! I searched youtube for a video to show you.. and then I got the joke HAHAHa!!

Hey Rahdo what are your thoughts on the Epic variant? I've only played the first mission in the quest book and am debating playing through the chapters or simply going straight to Epic where everyone's deck will be completely unique by the end.
never tried it, and less interested in doing so as it's got more setup time, and i prefer preset cards ala dominion than card river ala ascension

No, he played it right. The lantern card says you can't leave the wilderness, so you are not allowed to go into the dungeon.
It doesn't say to go to the dungeon. It says you may take a "Dungeon Phase" which has you start in the Wilderness and optionally move to other rooms. In fact, the Lantern card specifically says "If you do, you may not move out of the Wilderness", meaning you can ONLY go to the Wilderness.
thanks for the clarification, guys :-)

Very clever game...as one who developed a deck-builder, I really love the adventure-style of the game
We only have one chapter left in the campaign.
One game takes a long time to play though.

Approve!
The game looks great ! Sadly we will only play the coop version so still not sure about this ks.
stark contrast with people who actually played it and got burned by this game on bgg.

Wow for an adventure game this seems dry, lacking any pressure or suspense.
JW G. It is a race, with some competition involved if your fellow players try to advance the same heroes you have, or empty the market of particular cards. Most of the game is very deterministic, though.
Barricades, the solo and coop expansion, adds a ton of suspense and pressure.
The first one is better, its simpler. They just made it more complex and finicky. Just makes it harder to get people to play it.
Really? we have played the first thunderstone and thisone feels more streamlined.
