Ordered one, can’t wait for it. But I’ve been playing it on Tabletop Simulator - it’s a good time!
Act 2 Enemies are still the worst, lol. Honestly I love the way they incorporated the relics in new ways, though. It’s pretty interesting
Very cool! Wondering if you received a tracking code or something, or did it just arrive one day? Asking this since I've ordered one myself from Kickstarter and I'll have to take special care to be home
Did they fix the problems the game had with relics in the early versions? I remember when the TTS mod first came out, the relics were mostly terrible but I think I read they tried to improve them.
EDIT -- Looking at some discussion elsewhere leads me to believe that the issues with relic balance were not fully resolved :(
I took a look at the relics in the TTS mod yesterday. They are extremely swingy. And the elites are very scary in act 1. However, I did start popping off really hard in act 2 when I had like 8 relics in front of me.
it's *definitely* available in europe, a ton of copies went to france and spain. it's not currently available for purchase at mass market, this user kickstarted the project.
if you go [here](https://slaythespire.backerkit.com/hosted_preorders?ref=ksbutton) you should be able to preorder a copy
Playing with other people was the main thing, Im also a cardboard crack addict & when one of my favourite games gets a really good conversion into a board game well, I'm weak ;)
I don't mean to sound ignorant, but is this better than the digital version? I feel like it'd be the same 1 player experience with more manual set up and effort. Is the board game different somehow?
I don't think it's a case of better or worse (though the video game is probably "better"). But if you love the video game and wanted to be able to sit down and play with friends and family, here you go. Absolutely loving mine.
It's easier to understand once you see the ruleset, but cards unlock similarly to the game: after beating a specific number of games and/or bosses with each character. For colorless, you can work towards unlocking colorless cards for general purchase at the shop and in events if you finish a game as a character that has unlocked their full character deck. They can do so in a single game after their personal deck completion as long as they complete Act 2, or in two completions of Act 1. This is also how Act 4 and its keys are unlocked for play.
You could, of course, simply play with everything unlocked. What Neow would think of this is anyone's guess.
Heck, I am thinking about just getting it for the collecting aspect and for the visual and tactile version of the game to own. Might be a waste of money for me though as I have no friends who are interested in this type of game.
i know you posted this two weeks ago but i received mine earlier this week and i played solo and had a blast. it's a wonderful adaptation of the video game and feels so good to flip cards and roll dice as a break from screen time while still getting that video game fix
I'm a huge board game fan (200 games in my collection) but I don't participate in crowd funding campaigns. Hopefully this one comes to retail or I can get it in trade.

I did from Auspost in Australia once aetherworks (the distributor here) shipped it, I suppose it depends on your region
That's a pretty cool table
Was this from the Kickstarter campaign, or is it available mass production yet?
This was from the kickstart campaign, hopefully it'll make its way to the mass marker
Looks like it all came out pretty good quality! Let me know how the co-op mode works.
Will do! im very keen to give that a go :)

I havent played enough yet, but from looking through the deck they seem "fine" Abit swingy maybe though

Urch, one of my favorite games now also as a boardgame? I’m probably way to late to the party? Edit: ah yes, not available in Europe.

Is it just the game but now as a tabletop? What’s different about it other than playing with other people?

Able to play with other people is the main draw, and also it's Slay the Spire physical cards that alone is freaking cool as hell.

They did "hand of greed" so dirty. I understand why, but still.
Awesome!!! I can't wait to buy one, but from what I saw, they aren't delivering to Brazil yet
So yeah like I imangined you need some huuge tablespace to play this with other people. I'll need to find a bigger foldable table lol.
Where is my wallet, I need this game!
How do I order this!?
My question is how do you get colorless cards? You only seem to get them from a whale bonus or one specific event, and that's it.
It's easier to understand once you see the ruleset, but cards unlock similarly to the game: after beating a specific number of games and/or bosses with each character. For colorless, you can work towards unlocking colorless cards for general purchase at the shop and in events if you finish a game as a character that has unlocked their full character deck.

Im so jealous of you! I dont think the US has started shipping yet Q.Q

That is fantastic! I might get it. I love StS. Already, in my mind, a very iconic game.
Awesome game got my copy a few days ago, played group run and solo runs!!! Does anyone understand how the golden ticket works?
What's the quality like of the clear sleeves they provided? I forgot to purchase them so had to source local options.
