I've been scouring all kinds of resale platforms for an English version of the boardgame to no avail. I found one guy selling the game basicslly new for 85โ‚ฌ and I hesitated for a couple days too long - got snatched by someone else. Now I'm playing 40โ‚ฌ more :') but I'm really looking forward to it - been thinking about buying the boardgame ever since it was teased on Kickstarter.

Let's see when it will be delivered (2nd quarter 2025 is all there is in terms of delivery date) ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป

Awesome, glad you're enjoying it! How difficult was it, first, to teach the game to someone who doesn't know the original, and second, how much enjoyment do get it out of it vs your enjoyment? I'd be willing to play this solo even in case I find nobody who's enjoying the game.

Thanks, really looking forward to it. :)

It was easy to teach and we are not into complex or heavy games. We do play a lot of games like Innovation, Dominion, Clank etc.

I did decide to give Watcher to the most advanced player at the table though, and ironclad to the one who gets tired early ๐Ÿ˜…

During boss fights it's best to have one person count the damage. We haven't won yet, but this is an expected part of the spire experience.

The sleeves spontaneously broke after a while, but they replaced then free of charge.
