A game with a box that's slightly too small?? What a time to be alive.

I fit the expansion content in the same box, so I think the box size is kind of perfect.

Pretty cool, The theme idea is like a video game called Moonlighter

great game, played it last night and had a ball :) The only gripe we have (and it's very minor) is that the card backs are quite bland, and difficult to distinguish from one another (ie item vs hero cards the backs are way too similar). But the game is well designed, it flows very well and is very engaging and fun. Can't wait to see on the table again! :D

Probably the best game I’ve backed on Kickstarter. The expansion Black Market makes the game better in everyway.

If an adventurer dies you loose 1 point, but if the others come back with just 10 gold and you get to attract an adventurer with 25 gold on them then you've basically made a point and a half over the other players. Yeah, there's luck, but loosing an adventurer is often an opportunity as much as a detriment... Though you do have to draft well to pull it off ofcourse

A game that I've been eyeing for a bit now!

[CapriciousMissK]

My only issue with the game is that the backs of the item cards and the hero cards are too similar. Unless there's really good lighting they can be hard to distinguish - and if someone has eyesight issues it might be too close.

a smaller box means a smaller price though from less cost to manufacture ?

[eliumeldritch]

Was that a failed Rodney-Smith-patented box flip? 😁😁😁

[jaycey]

this game looks like a blast I will definitely have to look into it

Love this game! Played tonight at the library with 8 players. It was less chaotic and crazy than I thought it would be, was great fun. Everybody keeps asking me to bring the game back again. We did house rule out where if you run out of heroes you lose, because with 8 players we definitely needed to reshuffle in the hero deck. Although I haven't added in promos/ expansions to the deck yet, so that may not be an issue for long.

I like the idea, but we already have (and love) Boss Monster, and this is similar enough that I don't think it would make it to the table.

[wythore]

Reminds me of the online game Swords and Potions from Kongretate

[zylo]

A little luck? Every game I have played is just player begin drafting. One players lucks into the best card. Drafting ends, player who lucked into best card gets the best hero and makes the most money. Rinse, repeat.

Jon Ying has been my friend for years! He's the best game designer ever! Go buy his games!

This game would be way better if the monster beat too many heroes the game is over and nobody wins. This way the shop owners need to reason with each other to make sure they don’t all lose before someone can win.

I cannot fathom the inclusion of that fate deck. It’s gotta be the most Ameritrash thing I’ve seen, and I HATE that term.
