Slay the Spire: The Board Game Kickstarter launches!

Hey everyone,

We've teamed up with Contention Games and have been secretly working on Slay the Spire: The Board Game for the past few years.

Unlike the video game, the board game features cooperative deckbuilding where 1 - 4 players can go on an adventure to Slay the Spire!

We've got stretch goals, playmats, shiny real metal coins, and all sorts of other goodies in the various pledge tiers.

There's even a spooky beta art box~

Anyways. The board game is initially launching for English, French, and German and ships wherever Kickstarter ships things (most places).
*Chinese (Simplified) and Korean versions will be available later in a separate crowdfunding campaign

Why are you still here? Go to the Kickstarter page now!

Deck Builders Round Up

Deckbuilders! I love 'em. Slay the Spire got me into this genre digitally, after originally feeling the pull of Magic the Gathering in the late 90's. After over a hundred hours playing Slay the Spire, the classic that invigorated the whole genre, I had the bug, bad. So since late 2019 I’ve been hunting for more. MOAR! Here’s a round up of a few favourites.

Peggle goes roguelike in Peglin

Combine the peg-pinging action of Peggle with the roguelikelike dungeon crawling of Slay The Spire and you get Peglin, a delightful game which launched into early access on Monday. Off your cute wee peglin goes on an adventure, battling baddies and claiming treasures, but damage is dealt by pling-plonging orbs down Peggle/pachinko boards and you have a bag of different orbs instead of cards. I like it, and it has a demo you can try for yourself.

Slay the Spire: Downfall has just hit Steam, bringing the expansive mod for the beloved card game to a much broader audience. This is effectively the same as the version of Downfall that's been available on the Steam Workshop for ages, but built as a standalone Steam store app in order to bring it to a whole new audience.

The fan-made Downfall expansion is free on Steam and will join your library as a separate game, though you still need to own the base Slay the Spire game to use it. This expansion adds a fifth hero character, the Hermit, who's all about smart positioning of the cards you have in-hand.

The titular Downfall mode, however, is the big draw, as it lets you take control of one of seven villain characters, like the Slime Boss or the Hexaghost, fighting against the heroes with more complex mechanics that'll have you working your way down the Spire. These characters introduce new relics and potions, and you'll be able to make use of them in the base game pool too.
