Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- Area of Effect (Fire) — Fire not only damages you every turn, but adds more fire tokens. Eventually, you will burn to death.
- Card Play (Upgrade Cards) — Players are also going to be getting a hand of upgrade cards. There is a deck of upgrade cards that are various uh different things that you'll be able to play over the course of the game.
- Combat/Battling — When it's a player's turn, they have to either send out one of their titans to be a challenger or throw one of these upgrade cards in the middle from their hand.
- Dice Rolling — Otherwise, they simply roll the dieice. Now, if you roll the black side, that's a complete miss. If you roll the other four symbols that are on the card, that's how much damage you do to the opponent. So one, two, three, or five.
- Drafting — At the beginning of the game, players are going to draft by basically you have three of them out here. And I'll go, hm, do I want chess master, Wendigo, or Kunan? I'll take Kunan, who's then replaced, and the next person has a choice now with Crumbling Colossus. And now maybe Alpha Claus is in there. And so each person is going to be taking one of these until players have a team of Titans in front of them.
- Elimination — When all your fighters have been defeated, you're out of the game. And when there's only one person left, one fighter remaining in the ring, that player is the winner.
- Health/Hit Points — This is how many hit points they have.
- special abilities — They have special abilities. They have an ultimate special ability.
- Status Effects (Poison, Drain) — If you have poison, which does a damage to you every turn, that's going to stay in the match.
- Tokens (Dodge, Charge, Power) — Some titans will have a start of game. So this would happen here at the beginning of the game. So this person gets two dodge tokens.
- Turn Order Determination — The player with the fastest Titan is going to go first.

Quotes (from this video)
- This is a Richard Garfield game. He's one of the designers on it. And Richard Garfield does not believe in balance.
- It's player balance. Everything is, you know, I sit there and go, "Well, Chris's Titan just killed three in a row. I'm not going in. You go in."
- This actually fits in the category that's becoming more popular right now called the auto battler because really that's all it is.
- You are shooting for those epic moments.
- Is it unbalanced? Yes. But it's unbalanced in a way that it's quick and it makes you laugh.
- Final Titan. Definitely check it out.

Quotes (from this video)
- I am CMO of Gamefound, but I do this series on Gamefound because it is the easiest one.
- This is more Slay the Spire content. More things to mix in and new characters to dive into and new ways to kind of play through the progression of it all.
- Brass Pittsburgh from Roxley being well, the number one game of all time.
- The Witcher Legacy brings the world of The Witcher Old World, but it brings it to you in a legacy game.
- But as an experience, it still is the best RPG board game I've played in the sense that giving me that sense of a character development, making choices, exploring the narrative while diving into combat, and having different uh diverse branching pathways as far as the mechanical elements of what you're doing in the game.
- So, like the earlier stuff, I'm going to try to make you uh if you're excited about finding all the stuff about Lands of Evershade or who knows what, Slay of the Spire, those will all be later in the video.
- The art style, I love the the the components, obviously, Awaken Realms, the general idea of like, you know, this eventual climactic boss fight. I like all that.
- The sheer amount of content both excites and scares me for this one.
- So color me both very interested and very hesitant all at the same time.

Quotes (from this video)
- Final Titan is the ultimate draft battler.
- The game is really in the abilities, how to trigger them, when to trigger them, when to try to go for things, when to use your upgrade cards, and which uh champions to actually fight with.
- Now, they all might sound OP or overpowered, and that's kind of the point of the game. They everyone's overpowered, right? And so, everything sort of balances well with each other.
- It's very rare to create memorable experience with all the flooded board game market today. But Final Titan creates standup moments with even those being previously eliminated players cheering on for their favorite Titan, sometimes for revenge.
