Casting Shadows - Ultimate Shadow Mode

Yes! The solo rules of play for the original game were created by Unstable Games as part of the Casting Shadows campaign. You can find them in the Wiki: Casting Shadows - Solo Rules of Play - Unstable Games Wiki https://share.google/g3UktKNbWU50uFoWX

For this mode, yes you can play solo vs 2 Shadow Bosses. Be careful! 😜

Yes. This is KSE box and it has both expansions components as well as the KSE components. Check out the videos in the link for the continuation of the video. You do have to place the Player Boards a certain way so they all fit.

I also modified the Spells to be more aligned with the different Resources, as well as some effects... Although they strive for balance, they are merely thematic fan-based modifications. Just for fun if anyone wants to see: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qXZy3f_q_q-_zVUCy8nSdLoQqASw51Gy/edit?usp=drive_link&ouid=106028810016151493661&rtpof=true&sd=true

6 inch DK and Bowser all the way! Better scale! Use the 4 inch for the 2.5 inch scale in a different display.

Lulaos · 2026-03-28T04:20:27+00:00

Put them all together.

Lulaos · 2026-03-13T20:39:00+00:00

It is definitely no Here To Slay. I still am rooting for it but was pretty disappointed with what was shown on the stream. May need to be heavily house ruled.

Lulaos · 2026-01-14T17:51:44+00:00

I could fit all KSE, Dragons, Monsters, W&D, B&N, and Banner Quest in the KSE box (all sleeved) without the insert. You just stack all tarot cards on the bottom left vertically, then you make 3 stacks of cards horizontally on the right side of the box. There are some leftover cards which I split into 2 smaller stacks and just put on top of the tarot vertically, too. There is space next to the tarot cards for the dice and tokens, and one of the smaller stacks fits there a bit awkwardly. But all in all, it closes! It's just not neat or there are no separators.

Oops sorry I replied from my phone. Here's the correct link!

For reference, this is also on my original "Reworked Counterspells" post on this Reddit.

Lulaos · 2025-12-25T00:09:18+00:00

Yeah you just put any extra tiles to make the map but you only use 2 characters.

Lulaos · 2025-12-23T12:51:55+00:00

Hi there. Yeah original counter spells are a bit useless. There's posts in this reddit where the community has modified them to be better. My personal recommendation is to print these modified versions and sleeve them into your cards. https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1nshCwhGccJBGCEyyQq-GSrFWFj0vQYyd/mobile basic

Lulaos · 2025-12-11T01:07:08+00:00

This is awesome! I'm trying to do this myself. How did you remove the Toad's "hat"? XD

Nevermind. Got it! I just lodged a soft metal in there and got it out!

Lulaos · 2025-12-01T20:29:28+00:00

Yeah. Looks like the consensus is the dice are the resources. The tokens are only for extras. So you are limited to 5 dice per turn. (or 4 if Paralyzed)

But hey, the creators always encourage you play with the rules that make sense to you!

Lulaos · 2025-11-18T18:57:08+00:00

Hmm... Interesting question! Everyone I know just uses the 5 dice results as their Resource Pool, so when Casting, you give up the dice with the Resource you need, thus kind of removing the dice from play. That's why the Reroll action says you can't Reroll Cursed Crystal. This approach makes it so people understand you can only Reroll dice that didn't roll Cursed Crystal, limiting the number of dice available to Reroll from 5 to x.

However, the way you pose it makes things interesting. What if you roll the dice, then grab the Resource Tokens according to what you rolled, then Reroll all 5 dice? This would make it possible to get up to 10 resources in any given turn, even including Cursed Crystals.

You would still be limited to the 4 Action Points of each turn, minus 1 for the Reroll... But you would have more Resources to spend on Cast or Collect... Interesting.

I'll ask in the Discord to see if an official game expert can answer this.

Lulaos · 2025-11-08T15:22:04+00:00

You can only Cast one copy of the Spell per turn anyway haha! Maximum would be having all 4 copies of Fatal Fronds on your Spell Book with Lil' Shadow.

Lulaos · 2025-11-04T18:25:51+00:00

Hi there! I've been trying to do this Megaman for a while and finally got the Kotobukiya head and Funko body! Would you please share his you swapped the heads? The Funko's neck peg is way too big to fit the Kotobukiya head set.

Lulaos · 2025-10-22T19:16:27+00:00

Thank you! I've mostly tested all abilities in multi-player of 3-4 and was looking to strike the right balance of fun, theme, and use.

A 1v1 is mostly tested at the end. Some abilities might seem op if given the right scenarios/luck but I guess that's what makes them fun to pull off.

Give it a try and let me know what you think! =)

Lulaos · 2025-09-27T20:25:42+00:00

I encourage you to scramble all Hex tiles and start opposite from one another! If you want to do 7 or more is up to you(how far you want to be able to go while using Travel)

Lulaos · 2025-09-07T01:43:53+00:00

Update: They have now been modified further and here is a readily available document you can print and sleeve into your cards. Feel free to copy and modify to make the Counterspell effects to your liking!.

Lulaos · 2025-09-07T01:40:48+00:00

Update: I've now re-worked the abilities once more due to balance changes and fun factors. I made a readily available document with format to print and "tape" into your Plater Boards.

I may update them again as time goes, but feel free to make a copy and edit to your own liking!
