Good game. I've done that scenario and Ashstrider doesn't always destroy buildings at such a rapid pace. There is an element of randomness that can lead to bad luck. Sometimes you need to move/attack just to get destructive foes into another kingdom (especially when the owner of the home kingdom has more than one corruption). Other players may choose to minimize the risk of loss by using a potion (if they have one) or attacking the adversary (even if you quickly retreat, the attack will result in the adversary moving to another kingdom). You also can make some preparations if needed as you control the timing of when the adversary is released on the board. Side note: After your initial count of advantages, it doesn't matter if you lose the source of the advantages. You can also choose to add in optional advantages during the encounter (including from items gained during the encounter). Thanks for sharing the video.

I was wary of batteries-required gimmickry in this game when I learned of it (Lincoln expertly hit my other concerns), but the positive consensus around this title put it on my wish-list, and the GameNight! spot-light pushed it to a “Must-Have.” Hail, Brutal Warlord Nikki, and her sweet Gustav Klimt reference! Thanks, Players 😊

Looks like a great game, thanks for the sharing. Really appreciate the effort that went into creating this playthrough, but would be pleased to see a little more risk-taking as opposed to drawn out discussions, and the guy in purple actually adhering to commas and full- stops when reading the tablet; it really helps those in the game and those watching feel a bit more immersed! With those improvements a playthrough like this would be far more streamlined and attention-grabbing.

Just looked it up, it costs 125$ but very cool with that tower. Sometimes you opened up the wrong gates - you missed, that the gates themselves were blinking inbetween the side-blinking columns. Maybe some more skulls would have come out earlier for you that way. I wonder if the app will always be there in the future - slight concern imo with games that require an app

With the reveal of the final boss on Lincoln’s turn meant there were 3 turns before Nicky’s next turn and so that becomes impossible for her to remove the corruption before game ends. It was impossible to win once boss was placed in her territory or if in Lincoln’s

I don’t think they had a move baddie - only a move hero - it was the only way they could have saved the game - but those cards had been used previously- I don’t think there are enough ways in the game to get rid of corruption- it seems that another player should be able to do that for someone ? I think there is a flaw.

Thanks for the playthrough. I really liked Grant as an addition to your group :) Regarding the game, i passed on the kickstarter, but somehow regret it now. It's a cool game and while it hit you hard in the end, it felt quite generous in giving you gear and power before that. My main worry would be the tower itself, not the app. It has quite a few moving parts and lights and as soon as some motor or something stops working you dont have a game anymore. Still, i hope it will be available in retail in my country at some time.
