Just bought this game before watching your review (don't know why, since I trust your reviews so much). SO happy that you guys love it. I'm hoping to put it on the table with my group tonight, I'm looking forward to it!
As a heads up to players (and designers). Many have said this game is pretty easy, and I have found this to be fairly true. However, my group has made a simple house rule that ups the difficulty. Simply add a loss condition of the wound deck going empty. If there are no wounds in the deck, you lose. If you think the game is easy, try this out before shelving it, it may add some life to the game.
Tom's incorrect about the sales status of the game. (~13:05) The first edition is just now being made available to stores, not "already sold out, basically." We hope to be able to produce a second edition that improves the game, but we can only do that if the first does reasonably well.
There are some monsters that say, "You lose if a cultist is sacrificed", or "You lose if we build all our totems", or "You lose if we get out enough dragons." The heroes also lose if all the corpses (NOT walls, you win if you build all your walls) run out... unless the Child shows up. (But you better find a way to put a corpse back before next turn...)
2nd Edition Kickstarter is up and looks to improve upon the shortcomings of the 1st Edition! www.kickstarter.com/projects/shadowrift/shadowrift-2nd-edition/

I love discovering new games just by looking at Tom's wall, keep up the good work!
This is such a fun, interactive, and social game. I am so glad I took a chance and bought this.

The bad news: Definitely not before the end of the year.
The good news: We're making an expansion, in the meantime.
Holy crap, the Batman shirt is so awesome
Nice review as always Tom. But now that you're full-time, how about bumping up the production on these vids. Eh....eh?
I went to order this game and firefox's "trusted site" identification freaked out. Anyone else have this problem?
Also: Tom speaks against Dominion? :D
Didn't think I'll survive to see the day
Problem is he DID miss a "na" there and you're not just kidding.
the invincible IRON MAN
wounds like in the mageknight.
You missed a 'na.'
baahh. They only ship with the USA. Oh well, Will just go and buy the new Thunderstone expansion.
ZING!
LOL!
