Koloss17 She/They Posted July 10, 2020 Report Share Posted July 10, 2020 I believe this is not a thread yet and this is in the right place what is everyone’s thoughts on the stormlight archive call to adventure? I know its a bit early since it was very recently made and received by people that preordered. I thought it was a great game by itself as well as having nice references to the book. I was very glad that the game box looked like a book, as well as being the rough thickness of a Brandon Sanderson book. I liked the art done for sure. It really gave the looks of Roshar and it’s magics. I also liked the small detail of having different broams and marks in each of the playing mats. It did have some big spoilers for the books, unlike the name of the wind edition, which was slightly problematic for those of my family who didn’t read WoR or OB yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchcry he/him Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 I am getting it for the art mainly. The concept sounds really really fun tho. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
datalaughing he/him Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 I got the original Call to Adventure and the Name of the Wind expansion through Kickstarter. Love the game. My copy of the Stormlight version is supposed to be arriving tomorrow. So I'm very pumped. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
earthexile Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 It looks really cool, but I'm talking myself out of buying it because it really seems too complex for my typical gaming group. If there's a solitaire way to play it though... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there's a solitaire way to play it though... It is fairly simple to play once the info is taken in, and it comes in competitive, co-op, and solo. Now it can take up to 2 hours if you play a full four person group with slower players, but it’s very enjoyable. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciridae Posted July 11, 2020 Report Share Posted July 11, 2020 Does anybody know if theres a place where we can see all of the art? I love what we’ve been show so far and it would be great to see all the rest of the amazing artwork. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you play against the game itself or just go through the motions until you've met the objectives? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You fight against the game; there’s a co-op mode, and I believe solo is just that but alone, which some tweaks. You try to defeat odium in co-op or solo play. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sirscott13 he/him Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 (edited) I got my game the other day and I have to say I’ve played 4 times so far and only after the games did I realize we messed up the rules each time. It’s pretty complex, but fun. The art is amazing though. Edited July 14, 2020 by Sirscott13 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DramaQueen Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 My brother preordered it for me for a birthday present, but it still hasn't shipped! I am dying with anticipation. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eluvianii he/him Posted July 14, 2020 Report Share Posted July 14, 2020 I'm waiting for now. I don't have the money and I'm assuming the deluxe edition is sold out anyway. A few months from now though, in the second print I may be able to get it. I have the original and though I have only been able to play a few games, it's my favorite board game. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koloss17 She/They Posted July 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 18, 2020 Once you guys get and play it, I advise you play co-op or solo. Odium presents quite the challenge and is quite fun. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nellac Posted July 19, 2020 Report Share Posted July 19, 2020 I'm curious to see where this game goes with expansions. Will there be an expansion for each of the new books? Or will there be one for books four and five? Honestly it's be happy with the game even if there were no expansions, but given the extra room in the box it seems like they are planning on them and that makes me excited as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Silverlight Scholar Posted July 23, 2020 Report Share Posted July 23, 2020 I just got my copy last night, and after doing a few solid read throughs of the rules, I have a two questions. In co-op mode, with the adversary quest "Contest of Champions" there is the option for players to choose to side with Odium. What happens if every single player decides to join Odium? Also, I could not find anywhere in the rules that anyone who has the "Odium's Champion" destiny card, MUST side with Odium if given the chance. Does this mean that theoretically, you could play a game where three knights radiant choose to side with Odium, and Odium's own champion is the only one who has to try to fight him at the end? Cause if that could happen, that is just plain hilarious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be great, but I wouldn't count on it. This game was supposed to be an expansion for one thing. Also, I think the extra space is so the cards fit if you use the sleeves. Hope I'm wrong though, I would love to see even more Stormlight cards. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly hope there is more expansions though. You could also house rule that odiums champion has to side with odium. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GudThymes he/him Posted July 29, 2020 Report Share Posted July 29, 2020 The art is absolutely beautiful. However, I have to say the rules aren't that well written. I spent a good amount of time reading and rereading them and it is just very confusing. As soon as I started playing the actual game itself it started to come together and the game doesn't seem wildly complex. Just a confusing rulebook. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I’m fairly sure this is actually shorter than the origins call to adventure rulebook. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh I know, but it was planned as an expansion at first, so most likely there weren't any more cards planned. Again, they may take this opportunity to make expansions for the Stormlight edition (which would be a lot of extra work considering they already plan to release several more for the original), but I still think it's too soon to get our hopes up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
