Always kinda curious about this board game as people mention the dice manipulation. The physical version is larger then I wanted.. I see the app description mentions the Monsters and Minions will be worked on if the base game is successful. So tempting.. but also trying to play more physical board games to get away from screen time.. Decisions decisions.. Ijipop likes this.

Price point might dissuade some, but IMO it’s a perfectly competent dice drafting game with single player options which makes it almost an insta-buy to me for just those reasons alone. vectorarchitekt and tops2 like this. vectorarchitekt Well-Known Member Dec 29, 2013 2,489 177 63 #5 vectorarchitekt, Nov 20, 2022 Bought also and I dig it.

I enjoyed it so much I already went out and bought the physical version as well. That was expensive though lol. But I love having the physical versions of the board game apps I love. Did the same thing with Wingspan, Jaipur, potion explosion, gloom and more. Then games like Splendor or ticket to ride I bought the apps for the love of the physical. vectorarchitekt likes this. vectorarchitekt Well-Known Member Dec 29, 2013 2,489 177 63 #9 vectorarchitekt, Nov 23, 2022 I love Jaipur!

If you enjoy board games and don't have Spirit Island, looks like the in app purchase for the full game is on sale for $16.99.

Gamifying the bit that usually is much more the setup of an RPG and not really a game unto itself. elcrazy Well-Known Member Sep 19, 2017 706 561 93 #14 elcrazy, Nov 23, 2022 I am really enjoying the app and I just had a run through on the physical board game. Instantly my favourite part is it feels like a genuine board game when playing solo mode. Most single player games or single player modes are still missing something. It never feels like you are playing the actual game when it’s a variant and most single player based games I find have something missing. I do like many but this one is a step up for me. The solo mode makes the physical such a great addition to my collection. And same with solo on the app. Just makes it easier to have a quick game. Really enjoying this. tops2 Well-Known Member Jan 21, 2011 2,083 56 48 #15 tops2, Nov 23, 2022 If you’re interested in solo board games, there’s always the “1 Players Guild” on BoardGameGeek and the soloboardgaming subreddit.

With monk anytime you discard from the market you can use any attribute action. This can be really helpful when completing your attribute points. It just opens so many options of where to put dice. However, it can get you in trouble and you start to not buy any cards. Still I find it very powerful. Now all that being said. I just had my best game yet. Rogue coupled with the card climb is incredibly powerful. Rogue on its own is amazing. But with climb wow that was fun…..

As you add dice, that 9 should go up. (You must log in or sign up to post here.)
