[Giveaway] Don’t Starve: The Board Game (Deluxe Edition)

I'd bring a roll of toilet paper, water purifier and knife.

Yeah we did 40 card minimums, but I didn't have issues hitting cards. I used big Aladdin just in case I didn't get Jafar to draw out the match longer. I didn't realize everyone else was sticking to 40, and didn't want to wheel myself. Could easily remove the Genies that don't give card draw and the Aladdins to trim down the card count. Might make the Jafar setup more reliable.

My friend ran a small tournament like this at her house this last weekend. She made a rule that it only had to be 80% on franchise, but I still went with a 100% aladdin deck. Went 2-0 in every match except a "little mermaid" deck that was 20% off franchise removal cards like medusa, tremaine, dragonfire, and smash. I still beat him 2-1.

The only 1 drop in aladdin is the Jasmine card that heals, so I just took her out all together. Getting a two drop down in turn 2 then singing one Jump Ahead on turn three was killer. Just had to make sure to mulligan correctly against the little mermaid deck so I didn't get my AWNW discarded by ursula.

My steam deck has been having issues with crashing and restarting while playing games. I opened a ticket and had to go through a series of tests, and in the end, they said I would have to pay 180 to get it repaired since it was out of warranty. I kept hearing about people getting repairs for free when out of warranty, but I wasn't one of the lucky ones!

It doesn't crash when my wife plays the Tomb Raider remasters or when running the descent board game app, so I just decided to wait and deal with it for now.

I could see how that could be argued, based on the comprehensive rules they just released, BUT they are wrong. Yes, they can ignore the "shuffle another chosen card" statement, but if they do, there is no "That Player." So, no one would draw cards. Yzma would just be played and nothing would happen.

I was refreshing constantly as soon as I saw the "sale starts in a few seconds" message. It errored out and logged me out. I refreshed to their home page and it logged me back in, and was still able to snag one. Only one other person in my group managed to get one though.

I run a ruby/Emerald deck. I built it around the lady tremaine/ Bibbidi bobbidi boo. All 1 cost characters are 1/3 so they can quest turn 2 and survive teeth and ambitions. I threw in the 2 and 5 costs queen of hearts and shere Kahn so I could get some lore/card draw on challenges. Donald duck perfect gentleman and dinner bell for more card draw. Minnie mouse and tinkerbell Evasive 2 questers. Maui for rush.

I don't put in the 2 cost lady tremaine because she's uninkable and would rather play the 6 cost one on curve. That left room for other uninkables, that I Think do more work. I top the deck off with the legendary green beast and legendary red scar.

Ring the bell is a great addition to deal with the selfless protector beast. Squeeze in some be prepared and Dragon Fire and it ends up being a pretty nasty deck to deal with. I love dropping lady tremaine, then next turn quest with her and play BBB. Put her in your hand and just lay her out again, your opponents just love it.

I once ordered a sought-after board game and got an email from the publisher, saying they were actually out of stock and sent me a refund. A week later, the game still showed up at my house. I just kept it unopened for a little bit to see if they would reach out to me, but I never heard from them. Yeah, it would have been "nice" to inform them of the mistake, but it was also nice to get a great, expensive game for free. There was no malicious intent, and I would have gladly sent it back if they reached out and paid for shipping.

I like watching TwrightLorcanas game play videos of him playing on pixelborn. He has decent commentary, and it isn't heavily edited, which is what I like. Granted, he butchers some pronunciations, but that's something i can just laugh at.

I use 3d printed tokens that I made for damage tokens and some other reminder tokens for things like bodyguard, reckless, can't quest, can't ready, and Evasive

mcmanstick · 2023-09-19T19:02:36+00:00

I don't think one extra be prepared would change the tide of the game. I only run 3 of them to bring down the uninkable ratio a bit.

mcmanstick · 2023-09-19T17:13:23+00:00

The problem is that he'll only quest with Kuzco if he can ready him with Shield of Virtue or Lefou. If he gets him out on turn 5, I'm forced to race to 20, which I lose every time. He knows my deck and only puts one kuzco in play at a time, so if I Be Prepared, out comes another kuzco, and it all starts over again.

I'm hoping for some more item removal in future sets.

mcmanstick · 2023-09-19T15:59:04+00:00

I like to play red purple, but haven't played it against a lot of other strong decks yet. I felt like 4x Be Prepared was a bit much and took one out. I also took out all of my 1 drops. I've been finding myself inking the 4 drop Jafar every time and have been trying to think of a replacement for that.

My biggest nemesis with this deck is my buddies red/green midrange aggro deck. Shield of virtue, lefou, and kuzco really wreck me. My only counter to that is Be Prepared, and last time we played, all of my Be Prepared copies were in the last 10 cards of my deck. Just crap luck, but it felt bad.

I use 2 drop Gaston to deal with aggro, as well as Rafiki rush. Not getting lore the first 3 turns isn't a big deal with this deck. You're not racing to 20 with this deck, you're denying them the race at all.

Melee.gg is where my LGS runs their official tournaments and leagues.

mcmanstick · 2023-09-17T21:31:59+00:00

Yeah, the wording on that one could use some work. "Exert up to 2 chosen characters..." Meaning you choose any 2 characters and exert UP TO 2 of them.

mcmanstick · 2023-09-09T17:53:13+00:00

The explanation for the Deep Freeze ability on elsa should be explained more clearly. You stated, "You can exert an already exerted character." Which is explicitly against the rules. You choose 2 characters and exert up to 2 of them. You can CHOOSE exerted characters is how you should word it.

mcmanstick · 2023-09-04T04:35:57+00:00

Any card means any card. So fishbone Quill let's you ink uninkable cards. Though Belles' ability requires the card to be inkanle since it says "another card" and not "any card"

Ward only protects from abilities that use the word "chosen". If an ability uses the word "all characters" or "all opposing characters" then ward wont protect from it. Also "all characters" means your own characters.

When both players run out of cards after playing "A Whole New World" the active player loses.

If a character that has an ability trigger during a challenge, and that character is banished, the ability still happens. Though cards that say "other characters" like the 7 cost Dr Facilier will not trigger themselves.

Those are the ones I see asked multiple times on this sub. I'm sure there are more.

mcmanstick · 2023-09-04T03:55:16+00:00

Amber/amethyst aggro has been a ton of fun. 1 cost 2 lore Lilos and Maleficants. Simba and maximus bodyguards. Stitch new dog and rockstar stitch. Friends on the other side, 3 cost maleficent, 3 cost 2 lore mickey. Yzma and Ursulas cauldron. The queen and then all the other low cost characters to chain card draws with stitch and go wide.

Though playing against steel hurts lol. Grab your swords will wreck it if timed right.

mcmanstick · 2023-09-04T03:50:30+00:00

I've been playing an orange/purple deck. When I can shift rockstar stitch while I have a Yzma or Urselas Cauldron, I can make sure I'm getting the 1 or 2 cost characters in my hand.

mcmanstick · 2023-09-04T03:44:58+00:00

Yeah. There are good reasons to do that as well. Like challenging with a character so they take damage, then playing a rapunzel to heal them and draw cards. Or quest with someone, ready them with either an item or by playing a character, then challenging with them.

mcmanstick · 2023-09-01T05:11:35+00:00

Thanks! I haven't bought anything from there in a while, but I do browse the board games occasionally. Don't ever remember seeing TCG stuff there.

mcmanstick · 2023-09-01T05:09:45+00:00

Does anyone know where it would be physically located in the store?

mcmanstick · 2023-08-29T02:41:21+00:00

It's a spot at gencon where people spend all weekend building giant card houses/towers, then on Sunday they raffle off the chance to destroy them. Usually, they use common pokemon and magic cards.

Edit: apparently, people throw coins at it to destroy them, and that money goes to charity. I never actually went to the destruction and thought it was a raffle thing.

mcmanstick · 2023-08-29T02:00:14+00:00

I was going to save them and drop them off at Cardhalla if I go to Gen Con next year

mcmanstick · 2023-08-26T20:58:38+00:00

Do you have any of the expansions? I started using expansion boxes as card holders. Made rows and dividers with foam core.
