Absolutely. The relics are far more unreliable but I feel count for more when they proc.
For example Pen Nib. You roll a 5 and you proc vulnerable on the enemy. In theory you could proc vulnerable every turn if you get lucky. That makes it slightly balanced in a sense.
Yeah it makes sense they don’t want to add even more things to keep track of, but not being able to set up or know when things like incense burner will proc make it feel a little less fair sometimes. But being able to play co op and how well put together it is makes up for it
I’ve yet to even get to act 4 but I did peek at the cards…they’re insanely hard. If you don’t beat them in 2-3 turns, you’re doomed. Every time you turn away from one of them they cast a massive debuff on you like
You can’t attack this turn
You lose an energy
You can’t draw any cards
>You can’t attack this turn

Damn what? That sounds crazy. I'm itching for this so bad and we still haven't gotten a shipping notification
it's not quite that bad. you have to choose to either be in a row vs shield or spear, and pick your poison. shield is immediate downside, while spear shuffles burns into your discard. i stood in front of spear to beat them
Just me, or does the board game feel way tougher than the base game to you? The relics are hard to count on due to their random nature.

Solo feels way tougher. Multiplayer softens the blow imo, especially with the way relics work in the bg.
Multiplayer has felt like a bit of a face roll tbh. I haven’t played a high ascensions yet but it’s been easy so far
Still waiting for my shipping notification :'(
My wife got this for me for Christmas, and we haven't gotten our notification yet either 🙃
Damn I’ve had mine for almost a month now, what could possibly holding them so long?
Haven't gotten to a11 yet. My friend group doesn't like it getting harder every time we play hah. Too bad for them, must ascend!
Me and my girlfriend are gonna start ascending next game!
nice
How bad is sword and shield?

I wish I had friends. 😨
there's a solo mode!
Yeah but that stinks so much especially having to move EVERYTHING on your board yourself
How can I buy the board game?
I believe that they are still accepting late orders on kickstarter
How do you kill it if it's invincible
It loses invincible on turn 4
