How to Play Slay the Spire: The Board Game

Learn how to play Slay the Spire: The Board Game

This is a quick and comprehensive rules overview. What I try to do is cover all the rules, including the latest errata at the time of recording and BGG FAQs in as short an amount of time as possible. Of course, while still trying to remain clear.

These videos are not rulebook replacements. They have 3 goals:
1 – As a refresher, if you haven’t played the game for a while and need a reminder of the rules
2 – For a brief overview of the game if you’re going to play it for the first time
3 – As an alternative to a review-style video to see if the game is for you

Of course, before you leave remember to like, share and subscribe. Also, comment if the video was helpful (or if you have constructive feedback)

At around 12 minutes info the video you mentioned that after boss combats players you reveal 1 boss Relic per player or 3 if solo, you're actually supposed reveal 1 per player +1 additional Relic.
So in a 3 player game you reveal 4 boss relics.

Thanks, was looking for an up to date how-to-play video of this. Many is up pre-campaign, kinda annoying. ;)

This video was well made, thank you for going over each topic with a fair amount of detail.

Thanks for the video. Thank God I've played the video game. It would take me a month to actually learn the rules if I hadn't....

Correction. For boss fights: You draw one relic per player +1. Great explanation of the game! You cleared of some confusion I had.

When choosing the three cards to reveal at the merchant from reward cards do you pick whether you reveal from the rare or from the regular. How do you get the opportunity to purchase a rare card while at the merchant do you shuffle up both rewards draw at random and then separate once you're done

Really nice video and explanation!
A small note though at 4m14 you say "may have cards from a previous turn" and you draw 5 on top of that.
But on page 12 of the rulebook it is stated you always discard the rest of your hand after a turn, so you never have more than 5 cards.
This also happens in the videogame.

You are going way too fast to learn this game.
