Its hard. Like what happens when you exhaust all dice? Do you just keep getting hammered.

Best advice: go hard on recovery when given the chance and then sprinkle in strategy to get more rerolls. Health doesn’t become AS important until later game, so you can wait on that for at least a couple rounds. This will help you form an engine that will help you slow down the exhausting dice. Pick enemies based on the rewards they give you, with a focus on the above and after a while you’ll get a good handle on the odds so you’re not severely overspending each round. It’s meant to be hard, but is definitely winnable once you figure out the system

@@corylane767 hey thanks Cory! i haven't got the game out for a few weeks. will have to try some of this advice.

I got an upgrade early that let me bring back an extra yellow and green, and started with the character that gives +2 stats, so started with 3 recovery. I would go 4 if I did it again haha :) but yeah if you can get your recovery up to 4+ , then have some encounters where 2 dice will do the trick, you can get some dice back. But I imagine there's a big buncha luck at play as far as order of drawing enemies and rolls that is gonna make getting the engine going a challenge. Good luck!! :)

The Alpha Beast boss has the text "Dice applied to the Alpha Beast are not removed in the Exhaust Dice step."

roger that

It depends on which deck you're playing but in regards to Solar Sentinels that is true unless a stack has a Mandatory enemy present.

@@ChipTheoryGames Gotcha

After Effects trigger during the Resolve Phase of each round between Suffer Damage and Exhaust Dice. If the Marrow Locust had been left undefeated it would have dealt 4 damage and then it's After Effect would have triggered, removing it from combat.

@@ChipTheoryGames ok cool! That's what I assumed would happen, but I didn't want to cheat myself. It was with the hive monarch, so I had considered letting it hit me and saving the dice. Good to know for next time :)

Each of the How to Play videos for each 20 Strong deck should cover setup. There's no specific setup for the base game rules as it changes per deck.

@@ChipTheoryGames thanks for the reply. It was covered well by totally tabled so I got it from there

You're free to roll as many dice as you'd like! However any dice that you roll will become exhausted and you'll only be able to recover dice up to your recovery stat

@@ChipTheoryGames aaaahhh I see! The strategy just opened up for me✊🏾✊🏾🙏🏾💯
