Encounters: Shattered Wastes Solo Playthrough

Hi Soloists,
Please join me as I play 3 characters in Encounters: Shattered Wastes by Almanac games and designed by Ryan Farmer. This game is a boss battler JRPG style where you choose your abilities and avoid corruption as you stagger and defeat the boss (twice!) although you may need to shatter and be careful on when to use your powers.

Hi there! Game designer here. Thanks so much for playing! You got almost everything correct! Three small things:
-Crits send the Strength card right to wounds
-You can’t target empty areas
-The enemy flips to its injured side the first time damage is dealt and there are no cards in Stamina or Fatigue. (This is very important)
I hope you do more playthroughs!

Where is this for sale?

@46:30 after he rolled the 1 to place the last card from stamina he should have rolled for the other 2 characters and taken a card from fatigue for each right?

Thanks heaps for watching and providing some rules feedback.
- Ah yes forgot that crits do this! Thank you
- OK I think I may have once "attacked" an empty area to enable an ability. So i assume the ability doesn't go off either? Good to know.
- OH! So I flipped to injured side too early. Gotcha need to do one damage after there are no cards in stamina or fatigue.
Question: Was I correct when boss can become staggered outside of the refresh phase?
I think I may get another playthrough soon

I will await the reply if designer still active. I will have to read the rulebook again for this.

@@agentsolorunthroughs6010 Not the dev but I think you were flipping to injured to late I believe. I have played once and I did the same thing as you.
Once the stamina and fatigue are empty the very first card dealt to wounds from an area triggers it, so you will most likely be left with cards remaining in areas. You had 7 cards out when last one was drawn from both stamina and fatigue, so the first attack you did would have injured (I think you still put both cards in wounds if if the damage is 2, not just one but not 100% on that) That's how I am understanding it anyway.
From what I saw you were correct on staggering.
The dev is prob still active but busy, hopefully he will drop in soon to clarify officially. Enjoyed the vid though, I love the game so far :)
