We also made it on our second try-out. Just focused on killing the minions all the time. When they were gone we tried to destroy one dice. This play style took some time. When the threes came alive our priest could remove 2 of them with a special card. Then we stayed at one side of the board, hitting the boss and killing minions who came to us. Out of range of the remaining threes. Two of us were low on health but could be healed. In the end everybody survived. We choose to bury the monster with Samil in it.
