@heelbill: Did you keep going? That sounds like you would unkillable ha

@heelbill:

I really like counter and attack speed for Warrior, and get regen out of villages and potions. High counter is really good when you have a full board of enemies because it procs a lot

Having most fun with necromancer though

This is true if you get a really nice set of OP gear, but I've found I'm better off waiting until I have a good build by holding those cards, and then just spending them all at once to force the last section of the boss bar to fill.

I've sunk 10 hours into this game so far. There's a lot more depth than it seems at first, and I love the bizarre story and tongue in cheek dialogue. It has a lovely power curve that reminds me of Risk of Rain more than anything else.

Would really suit being on tablets/phones too.

For anyone looking for some tips I've picked up:

- don't bother laying the weaker version of rock/desert/forest. Every card you lay just brings you closer to summoning the boss so don't waste uses on the weaker ones

- Vampire next to village over 3 loops will give you Count's lands, you can reduce the number of zombie farmers on the tile in between with roadside lanterns.

- Spider cocoons are really powerful since they drop lots of cards for you and the spiders are quite weak

- Skeletons are pretty weak and the cemetary gives decent loot

- In Act 1, if you place tiles around your campsite it'll stop the lich palaces spawning, making the final boss easier.

- Put Meadows next to Chrono Crystals on the corners for extra daily HP

I'm going to miss this intro so much when this feature ends

This would make an amazing playdate yes. And like others say make sure to use the in-game chat and not discord, it adds a lot to the game, especially in situations where one person has to be alone and then there's a hunt where the radio won't work. Being able to just chat away on discord ruins it.

This is my favourite thing on GB this year oh my word

I played this for a couple of hours yesterday and had some of the most terrifying moments I've ever had in a game. When the wolf spiders come for you and start jumping it is horrific, everyone in my group was in tears laughing after running away. Also the noise they make is truly truly unsettling.

The game itself is janky and runs like crap but it's a lot of fun at first. I think once the terror of spider attacks wears off it won't have much to offer until they add more locations.

Also Brad's commitment to resource gathering is wild. Giant spider 10x his size chasing him and he stops to pick up some dry grass and dies.

Some all time moments in this stream. That final play by Vinny my god imagine how annoyed the other team would have been if he'd won.

@xkkzz: My takeaway from this weighted list is that Shadowbringers was the true Game of the Year, but not enough people played it.
