Slay the Spire: The Board Game *PRE-ORDER*

My girlfriend and I were skeptical. I have played hundreds of game of the video game version and my girlfriend never had any interest from seeing me playing it.
I was not sure about the adaptation and whether or not the game would still be balanced, fun and gave rewarding progression to characters.
I was able to try it out at a convention and I immediately ordered it. We already played 3 full games in the first week and we love it. The first 2 games we tried one character each and the latest one we played 2 characters each.
The die mechanism makes it exciting to start each new round. And getting a golden ticket when getting a card reward is so fun.
Setting the game up is a bit long and cleaning up after a game is a bit messy, but still better than other game of similar weight. The upkeep of encounter and monster cards adds to the length of the game for sure. Next game, we'll try an app to see if it's making things easier and faster to manage, much like it does for games such as Gloomhaven.
100% recommended to anyone in the hobby who likes well balanced coops.

As someone who played the board game before the video game (and who is now hooked on the video game also) this adaption of STS is a must have!!! Not only is it accessible to newer players, it feels just as exciting and terrifying as some of the close calls had when playing the video game. I am also a huge fan of the unlock system for cards not readily accessible upon your first few playthroughs of Acts 1-3 (if playing with 4 people and characters it takes 2 full games from Act 1-3 to unlock the rest of the character cards, colourless cards, and access to Ascensions) and the experience of unlocking these cards is incredibly rewarding! A great solo, duo and group game with so many deck archetypes and paths to take and a seemingly endless amount of playtime to be had. I cannot recommend it enough!!

Great game

Have only played once so far, but the game is excellent. If you like the video game, you will like how they’ve adapted it to play cooperatively with your friends. Highly recommend. Shipped from CAN -> USA and arrived in a good amount of time.
