Hey, just a friendly reminder that Slay the Spire is a really fun game, addictive, unable to stop, will likely ruin your life. Ahem, excuse me. I've got to go do important things that totally aren't playing Slay the Spire.
We played through Act I of a scenario of the #SlayTheSpire#BoardGame. It's a faithful adaptation of the digital game, and plays surprisingly well!
Corri played the Ironclad while I played the Silent. We downed the Act I boss, Hexaghost for us, just as the Ironclad was about to succumb.
My only complaint would be the instructions, which rely a bit too much on knowledge from the digital game. And as players who don't usually sleeve cards, a big "You MUST sleeve" warning would've helped.
Trying out #MonsterTrain since I’ve mostly settled into a holding pattern in #SlayTheSpire (still pretty low ascensions, my best is 4, with Defect).
Early impressions: there's a lot "more” there in nearly every possible axis (numbers to track, design space, lore, audio-visual, etc), but it's almost overwhelming compared to Slay. I'll give it more time to sink in though.
Elevator pitch: “Slay the Spire, M:TG, and a tower defense game had a /real/ fun evening together about 9 months ago” 🤪
#SlayTheSpire is ridiculously efficient, apparently? I can play a full 60 minutes of it on my iPad Air while on the exercise bike, and it will use like, 2-3% of the battery. Not 23%; 2-to-3%.
My various gachas and stuff like Civ VI would have eaten like 1/3-1/2 of the battery in that amount of time!
The great part about taking the train instead of a plane to visit family for thanksgiving is watching the autumn scenery roll by outside the window while I get dunked by the Time Eater on for building a Shiv deck on mobile Slay the Spire. #SlayTheSpire
Alright. We are slowly, very slowly, getting into a season where there's more to show. So!
In an hour, join me over at the game4access Twitch channel where I will be taking a look at #slayTheSpire and how it can be played when fully #blind. We'll be discussing this #game's #accessibility as we play it and no doubt get horribly destroyed multiple times. https://twitch.tv/game4access is where it's at. #selfPromo#twitch#streamer
@EighthLayer I always check out whatever the Daily Run is in #SlayTheSpire. It’s always a specific set of modifiers that changes daily, so coming back every day feels fresh but familiar.
