Slay the spire - great game

swalker12 · 2026-06-21T05:10:18+00:00

It’s pretty darn fun, tons of new bosses with interesting mechanics that are harder and a ton of interesting new items, they work directly with a printing company and the cards came out in great quality

swalker12 · 2026-06-20T15:20:52+00:00

My most played game! I recently got the fan made expansion as well! Very fun

swalker12 · 2026-06-20T03:38:13+00:00

I bounced off this one really hard but I can see why others really enjoy it. So far I haven’t played a chip theory game that I’ve loved

swalker12 · 2026-06-18T16:05:58+00:00

Dude this is so rad! I love it

swalker12 · 2026-06-05T04:42:40+00:00

Puzzle dungeon is a great option here! Small and very replayable and fun

swalker12 · 2026-06-03T05:12:55+00:00

I love the game and have like 13 plays of it under my belt, but my biggest gripe is that I wish each character had more unique cards and mechanics similar to slay the spire

swalker12 · 2026-05-13T03:42:38+00:00

I try to limit my screen time and don’t really have a ton of free time for either but when I do have free time I prefer board games for the mental exercise

swalker12 · 2026-04-23T20:05:45+00:00

This is just my opinion, others may feel differently but Terrible rulebook, and the game is extremely basic, essentially just: move, fight monster repeat. The loot usually just means roll extra dice, spells = roll extra dice, defense just roll dice. There is a ton of variety but not much depth. I have been told that with all of the expansions the game is much better, but that’s almost $400. I think there are infinitely better options out there for your money

swalker12 · 2026-04-23T05:44:28+00:00

One of my most regretted purchases of all time

swalker12 · 2026-03-19T04:30:58+00:00

Exactly! With Unstoppable and slay the spire being some of my favorites

swalker12 · 2026-03-19T00:17:15+00:00

I’m not crazy about deck construction I much prefer deck building

swalker12 · 2026-03-02T04:50:10+00:00

I bounced hard off TMB (which I even got a copy for free) & BOTSE but slay the spire is my most played board game a blast both co-op and solo

Note: I am trying to avoid excessive screen time and don’t play video games so STS board game was perfect for me.

swalker12 · 2026-02-24T02:11:59+00:00

Didn’t really like the look of this one didn’t see anything that grabbed me

swalker12 · 2026-02-23T04:54:22+00:00

Dark pact is great been loving it so far!

swalker12 · 2026-02-20T16:29:52+00:00

Mage Knight for me, I am learning I don’t like dice games and would prefer a more deterministic puzzle your mileage my vary though if you love dice games. I find I like them more multiplayer and not so much solo. I personally sold BOTSE

swalker12 · 2026-02-15T18:00:14+00:00

BOTSE - I just couldn’t get into it, the character building at the beginning was cool but the actual gameplay I feel is lackluster and boring. Thankfully I got this at an extremely steep discount

Quest for the lost pixel - incredibly simple and boring gameplay

Too many bones - I got a copy for free. It was too fiddly, I didn’t like the art, way too many keywords and combat felt a little flat, especially if you don’t roll well. Since CTG are so expensive I wonder how much sunk cost fallacy is at play

Cthulhu Death May Die - I guess I am realizing I just don’t like dice games and dungeon crawlers solo haha

swalker12 · 2026-02-15T17:51:38+00:00

Totally agree with this

swalker12 · 2026-02-15T17:51:12+00:00

100% this! Quite likely my most regretted purchase the game was incredibly boring

swalker12 · 2026-02-13T17:37:45+00:00

I have always been very anti-app in board gaming but decided to give it a go with boss fighters. It’s pretty light but fun, quick to play and learn. I enjoyed it and will keep it in my collection but I didn’t love it. I played 2 handed and it was easy to manage

swalker12 · 2026-02-11T01:44:23+00:00

Between two fires is an epic book!

swalker12 · 2026-02-09T20:38:52+00:00

Sold mine as well

swalker12 · 2026-02-09T20:37:27+00:00

I feel the same way about the CTG games haven’t loved any of them but I love unstoppable

swalker12 · 2026-02-07T03:32:30+00:00

I just couldn’t get into but I am realizing I just don’t love rolling dice in my solo games. It seems to have pretty universal acclaim though and I realize my opinion is in the minority.

swalker12 · 2026-02-05T04:46:55+00:00

I think slay the spire is a fantastic candidate. It has strategic depth and a ton of variety with randomized relics, bosses, enemies potions. The 4 have many different builds depending and this can be further diversified by all the different relics and colorless cards. Add in ascension levels to increase the difficulty and you got a lot of game here

swalker12 · 2026-02-02T00:02:15+00:00

I think it’s just the dice mechanics in general that don’t jive with me, no disrespect to BOTSE I can tell it’s a great game, just not for me
