This is really great to hear, I'm glad you've been enjoying them :)

He does a great job for sure.

well thematically they are drawn to the fire from various original distances to the camp, so they would come one at a time; they might outpace each other but viewed from the camp site there are at most one or 2 "nearest". They are not standing in line, rather it's a radius. At least I don't have a problem with that. Thunderstone also uses this mechanic. I do have a lot of other problems with the game though.

@@kosterix123 what other problems are there?

Awesome, I hope you enjoy it :)

I hope you enjoy your copy :)

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

Thanks Jim, I'm glad you found it useful :)

more games should use no dice at all.

I was surprised at the d6s alongide d8s at first, but agree that it seemed to work well here.

Good catch! I needed to handle that situation differently it seems. I've added a note to the subtitles.

Good catches, I've added klingon subtitles for both.

Do you have a rules reference for this? When I filmed this and sent it to the publisher they didn't note an issue here and my understanding was the serpents health value is always equal to the fire level no matter where it is. It's possible a rule changed between this prototype and the published version.

@@JonGetsGames I got it from the Unofficial FAQ in the Forums on BGG. Here's the extract from that doc. ; "Effects on cards in the Graveyard are disregarded unless the effect explicitly says otherwise. The Fire Serpent and Shade have no health on top of the Graveyard." Todd Walsh also confirms this about Fire Serpent in the linked thread: boardgamegeek.com/article/32403365#32403365

I am not sure about your first question, but am assuming you can always see at least 1 creature otherwise the game would likely break. I believe you don't get any further firewood after hitting 15.

thanks for answering

Ah yes, I meant dice instead of card there sorry about that. I hope you enjoy the game :)

Unfortunately it's been too long since I made this to remember rules clarifications like this, sorry.

This was filmed using a prototype and this video was part of the original Kickstarter campaign.

I believe I did exhaust 2, I just talked a bit between them which may have obscured that.

Ah yes, sorry I play through twice but still manage to miss it:) Thank you for the reply and the video:)

Unfortunately it's been too long since I recorded this to remember specific rule questions like this one.

Oh... You can use it once per round (free) without the need of a die.. am I right?

Yeah, no die needed. You "pay" for it by subtracting one hit, which means you do one less damage.

Perhaps you meant Dungeon of Darkness the card game? boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/229909/dungeon-darkness In DoD your goal is betting the amount of gold or die. There is no fire to keep track of. The Stairs are in a random position, in SaW it's always 8 locations. DoD has almost no attrition, you actually gain items that you can use. DoD uses a single hero (out of 3, a thief, fighter or wizard), SaW uses always 4 (unless that changes in future). DoD has a boss, the dragon, SaW has not, here the fire is just a fire. DoD can also do without dice, the 3xd6+1xd20 can be easily simulated by shuffling the cards and painting 1d6 on each. Same for d20. I don't see how to do that practically with SaW.

@@kosterix123 no I meant It looks like a board game version of Darkest Dungeon, originally on the pc. Which uses a torch light system and a line of monsters and heroes that can attack at range or melee.

Wow, what a great idea. Darkest Dungeon the boardgame. Epic

This is exactly what i was thinking, the importance of light, a party of 4, enemies arranged in a row. I'll be backing this in the next few days when I get cash.

You can see the reasons why in my vlog here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/isuHarNnur7Kd5c.html

I see. Cool. Thanks for your content and hope you're having a better time :D

Ah yes, good catch. I'll add a note to the subtitles, thanks!

@@JonGetsGames happy to help... your videos are a huge help for me when learning the game. Great job👍🙂

I expect you'd replace the summon with a Unhallowed and then defeat it, but I'm honestly not 100% sure. I'd suggest writing a post on the BGG forums about this.

The Cleanse Undead ability states that you can put the creatures into the graveyard in any order you want. It's true that I accidentally put the Skeletons on top here and didn't notice, sorry for adding confusion there.

Another question, if the skeletons are the last card and on top, does that pretty much signify game over?

Kindlesmith80 You always reshuffle the graveyard when the creature deck is empty, so you'd simply shuffle the rest of the cards and add them after the skeletons.

The skeletons, would they continually keep going to the front of the line if they are the very last monster in the encounter because when they get killed they keep getting put to the graveyard (not deck)? Infinite respawning skeletons.

Kindlesmith80 You would only have them respawn once. In this scenario you kill them last and they go onto the graveyard. In the next location you draw them into the line from the top of the graveyard and then since you have no creatures in the deck you reshuffle the graveyard and deal out your line. Then odds are very good you will kill the skeletons early since they are at the start of the line, so they will go into the newly empty graveyard before the rest of the creatures you defeat this round which buries the skeletons.

I believe it is actually exactly 6 for the heal, the d8 players still have to use a 6 to use that ability.
