Cheers for the help. Not much is well explained. So to banish means the card is out of the campaign or just out of that scenario?

So do you mean that there is a deck construction phase only at the start of a new campaign? And could you elaborate as to how the stash works please?

Hi, I played for a bit ages ago but reinstalling it recently I'm looking to start a new campaign and I'm pretty confused. Browsing my cards, how do I trim my characters decks down to ensure I'm likely to draw something useful during the game? Should I/can I do this? Am I meant to trash or sell surplus cards in some way? Cheers

That did the trick, thank you.

Cheers for the reply, that makes sense I think. So the filter in gallery for "treasure" shows cards above and beyond those that are fixed? And I can only salvage those treasure cards? I do have a few cards such as Menagerie Keeper and Giant Weasel where I have about 16 copies do perhaps I should trim then down a little.

Ah - edit: looks like it was for Legion Armour, Greater Aid and Guardian Blue dice. I have multiple copies of the two cards in the gallery but the dice are not showing up as owned. Those dice ate listed as "Owned x0". If the dice hasn't appeared, I don't know if the cards have either as like I say I have multiple copies off both already. Any ideas?

Flicking through my gallery, I have a lot of cards that I have multiple copies of bit I'm not sure which if any I should salvage. So, does the number of copies impact the likelihood of it dropping into a location deck? And if so, is there any advice about tweaking the card pool to ditch "bad"cards? Cheers.

I've just noticed an option in store to buy a Cleric and Paladin bundle (tools of Faith and Devotion) which I think was for a couple of new cards, some funky dice and 25 chests. My account has been credited with the chests, but i'm not sure I see the dice or cards. Looking at the gallery I don't see any new dice, and I'm not sure what cards were in the bundle, so I can't be sure what I'm looking for in the card gallery either. Does anyone know what I've just bought ?!

Cheers for the help. I don't mind missing out on gold while playing offline but I wouldn't want to miss out on anything else.

Hi, if I'm playing offline I understand I don't receive gold, but does that also mean I don't receive card rewards etc at the end of a scenario or adventure? Do I need to be online for those rewards? Cheers

Cheers for all the excellent and helpful advice. I feel like I'm mostly doing the right things, though I'm still not past this scenario. I'll persevere (I have to - I've bought the Runelords bundle and 100 chests!), and hopefully I'll get over this roadblock soon.

Thanks

Hi, I'm early on in the game and there is a weapon or two listed within my vault in deck 1 that would perhaps help my party. So if I understand things correctly I could find those weapons in any level 1 scenario that includes weapons in the location deck. However, is there a way of seeing the card list for a scenario before embarking upon the scenario? Once I've started the scenario I see at the top-left a breakdown of the card types at that location, but is there a way of knowing beforehand which scenarios I should grind in order to maximise my chances for particular boons?

Thanks for the excellent advice. I spotted how Meri can evade the first Guard Tower Bandit during my last few attempts and that's helping there. I'll look closely at magic armor cycling and discarding less useful cards. I hadn't thought of that. I've been trying to conserve cards as hit points.

Good stuff, I'll download to my phone then. Regarding syncing; I can't actually find a "exit game" option within the app, so I tend to just toggle out using the device. Am I missing something obvious? Cheers for the help.

Hello, I've been playing on a tablet, on which I've bought the Runelords bundle, the daily gold offer and s loss of gold for chests, but I was wondering about also downloading to my phone. So, would I be able to pick up my progress and continue on the second device? Or would I need to purchase and play on a completely different account, buying the bundles again? Also, if anyone had played on a phone screen (Samsung S6), does it work ok or is it two small in general to be satisfactory. Cheers.

Cheers for replies guys, though at the moment I'm not sure I'm any further forward. Much of the advice I've seen here and elsewhere seems to be along the lines of "close locations fast, find the boss fast, get good boons etc" but great all seems easier said than done. I'll always position pcs with an eye on the location's closing conditions but it always seems to take too long to dig the henchmen out of their decks. I'm just runing out off blessing deck.

Hi, I'm looking for advice about where I'm going wrong. I'm only at Approach to Thistletop and I can't seem to beat this scenario to progress. I'm using a party of four (mostly trying Fighter, Paladin,(or Cleric) Mage and Rogue), but I'm getting nowhere. I'm running out of time with usually at least two or three locations remaining open. I tend to spread out initially and try and be fairly aggressive with blessings for exploration but I'm a long way from feeling like I'm processing through the adventure.

It seems to me that there are a lot of people wringing their hands about how much content they should be given for nothing. Considering that the game is ad-free it seems to me that we should expect absolutely nothing for free. Be grateful you even get the prologue. For a few pounds you can have all the characters. For a few more you can have all the adventures. The developers then get some way of staying in business and we get a good value game without worrying about how many hours we need to play for just to get more free stuff. If you can afford a tablet to play the game on, you can afford a couple of quid to pay for the game.

Cheers, that makes more sense now.

If I understand things correctly, my vault of cards is analogous to the box of the physical game, I.e. my total collection of cards? I've bought a load of chests so am I right in thinking that these new cards I've unlocked are available to be found during all future campaigns? Related to this, at the start of a scenario is a ten-card location deck dealt from all of (for example) my deck 1 cards, or a certain number of them? I'm wondering what the chances of me encountering of of my shiny new unlocks actually is. Cheers

Cheers for the reply RedPred. I think I've been a wee bit confused by the campaign element of the gameplay. I think I'd imagined a growing pool of cards to build my deck with (with restrictions) before embarking upon each scenario, however if I now understand things correctly, it's more that the characters lose access to certain old cards as they acquire and choose new ones gained at the end of each scenario. It's quite a tough game, I'm still struggling to get past Approach to Thistlestop!

Hi, I'm playing on Android. I've completed the first few scenarios, bought the Rise of the Runelords bundle and am pretty stuck (and a little confused) quite early on. I've bought about 20 treasure chests and as far as I understand it those new cards are available to be found during adventuring. I've seen a couple of them while adventuring, but do I need to successfully acquire a boon for it to be available for later selection or do I just need to encounter it? Also, I'm currently at Approach to Thistletop and have completed the previous few scenarios at various levels of difficulty. When I'm tinkering with my party before a scenario I don't seem to have any extra cards to choose from. There are just enough items, weapons, spells etc to full fill each characters allocation but no more. Should I have a larger card pool to choose from by now? Selecting the show all button at the bottom of the screen just seems to show all the party's currently allocated boons, rather than the entire card pool available. I'm leftb unsure as to whether the "show all" button is working as intended. Cheers for any help.
