    gamefound.com/en/projects/skytear/skytear-horde-campaigns *Other rules errors* - When I killed the stage 1 portal, that would have also discarded Living Walls; the Royal Marksman can still deal damage even if it's incapable of moving, since you resolve as much of each ability as you can - the movement in this case is not a "cost" for the damage ability. 0:00 - Introduction 0:31 - Overview and set-up 5:22 - Round 1 11:43 - Round 2 15:48 - Rounds 3+4 18:12 - Round 5 21:56 - Round 6 26:24 - Round 7 30:37 - Rounds 8+9 34:47 - Review revisited

    Thanks for the great play through of the new content! Definitely enjoy the base game (and still waiting on my Monoliths pledge to get delivered). The artwork is super high quality and I appreciate that the game is easy to table and play. For me it's a winner that will stay with my collection for the foreseeable future. Debating on backing the next pledge campaigns only because I need to receive my previous backing first to justify another backing.

    Fortunately, you won’t miss out on anything by pledging during the Late Pledge phase … i just got Monoliths but have yet to play!

    Thank you for the playthrough. After watching your video and the one from JonGetsGames, I finally understand why this is such a good game. The unique play styles of the different factions and the variety in enemy decks (whacking roots, I love it) make it really interesting. I’m not familiar with the old ruleset, but the changes mentioned seem reasonable. I already enjoy playing Marvel Champions and Slay the Spire, but this game looks even quicker to set up and play. I hesitated with the previous crowdfunding campaign, but this time, I will probably back the game. P.S. I would really love to see the red or yellow faction played (Jon played the green one, and everyone else always picks the blue one). Also, I can't wait to see a playthrough against one of the colossal Outsiders.

    My bonus Playthrough for patreon supporters next month is a red faction play against the hardest new faction in monoliths. That’s not an attempt to push you towards being a patron. I was already planning to do a red play 😅

    You have to finish through the end of the round (including pillaging) to win. Not placing the starting minion health and not putting spill-over minions into the Outsider pile were probably mostly balanced out by not removing the attachment from the portal when you destroyed it. Also, the designer has clarified on BGG that you can discard an ally without triggering a defeated ability like the Mind Fungus.

    Are you sure about the mind fungus things, even if the designer said it? Because the rulebook goes to great pains to emphasize that even discarding stuff still triggers death effects, and it feels like just discarding the unit away once it's near death nerfs that negative too much...

    @@OneStopCoopShop I see that you posted in the relevant BGG thread. Perhaps it was miscommunication and he meant that you can still choose to discard it and was not saying that destroyed doesn't trigger. The post reads as if the ally is not considered to be destroyed but maybe that was not the intent.

    The designer has answered again in that thread with a correction to their previous answer. You're correct and while you can discard the ally, it is treated as destroyed so any destroyed abilities would still trigger.
