The combination of two devils in a pentagram room was just too much for the heroes. Sad for the demon hunter, who fell one room before reaching them.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>In the second, the Thief King just took gold for half the game, winding up 24 gold ahead. No hero got to him. Managing to draw the Bloody Room, Vampire, and Bloody Bath within the first three turns meant I had an 8 HP, 3 ATK juggernaut right at the front. A demonic pact room as my first card helped pay for all this. Only the Necromancer got past the vampire, taking 3 damage and then choosing (randomly) to sneak past. However, I had a coterie of imps standing guard in the woods who easily dealt the final 1 HP blow.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Nice to see a board game entry. Consider &quot;porting&quot; your game to a board game engine like Tabletop Simulator, SunTzu, or Vassal. You'll get more plays!"},{"author_name":"Coac","author_uid":"56458","time":"Aug 30, 2015 @ 9:00pm","epoch":1440968100,"text":"Wow wow, board game, so nice ! :)"},{"author_name":"Larzan","author_uid":"10395","time":"Aug 31, 2015 @ 7:37am","epoch":1441006320,"text":"Great idea, i love it when ppl take the games off the screen and to the table \/ floor :)"},{"author_name":"StalsBG","author_uid":"57987","time":"Aug 31, 2015 @ 8:03am","epoch":1441007880,"text":"@everyone Thank you so much for all the comments!\r<br\/>\r<br\/>@scriptorum Thank you for the detailed information of the playtest.

Sorry for the poor lighting on the photos, I'm currently not at home so it is what I have.\r\n\r\n-----\r\nGame by Stas Korotaev @StalsKnight","title":"Hero Hunt"}
