r/Gambonanza

How does this work? I played a pawn on my first turn, the gambit gave a check and then I lost my Rook on the next turn thinking it was protected.

The fun part of all roguelikes to me is to create a deck that is all about synergy, and I had a blast doing this the first runs. Atleast until the queen difficulty, I know I can play lower difficulties to not encounter this, but then it loses the only progression the game has.

All other modification make it more challenging, but also more fun on how to play around it. Gambit expiration makes it more challenging but also less fun in my opinion, as your deck loses 'your' synergy.

Anyone else has this thought, or another single modifier that makes the game less fun for you?

CEO - Promotions are permanent
Skydiver - Landing a pawn promotes it
Ant Queen - Gives 3 pawns when a queen is captured
Crown - Skips enemy turn after promoting
Gravekeeper - Gain $2 when one of your pieces is captured

if the game just decides to put the crumble on 2 of your pieces at once, as it did here, there's no way to save both

in my case its even worse because I knowingly put my 3rd piece at risk, thinking I'll have a turn to get away, so now Im forced to lose 2/3 of my pieces thanks to RNG

Got through the first few levels with it taking 5 games at most. King difficulty took me forever

So yeah after the tutorial game, I literally won all the bosses.

It was crazy, I became so anxious when I realized I can actually finish the game, I'm so relieved lol.

I'm not playing more I think that's enough of an achievement.

Really liked the game.

Haven't seen this been posted, apologies if it's already been discussed:

Perma-skip with knight moving like rook to constantly threaten 2+ pieces, if that fails just capture on a black square (or 2/3 gamble on white square - not that I ever needed that).

Had games of 13+ skips with just a knight.

The wheel to choose new figures burnt into my display. Does someone know how to fix this?
