Get that chair out of here. We need optimal space.
Yeah. Stretch. Okay.
Hello everyone. Welcome back to Foster the Mele, a channel all about
board games and
board gamey things.
Exactly. We're back again today with a little playthrough video. And today's playthrough, my friends, is on Slam Throne. Okay. It comes in a bag, which is pretty awesome.
Well, I mean, right now it does.
Right now it does.
I'm assuming they're going to keep doing it.
Yes. So, uh, Slam Throne is the newest kind of product from Dice Throne. And if you're like, doesn't Jeff work for Dice Throne? Yeah, he's literally wearing his staff shirt right now.
Sure do.
Um, but this is not a paid video, just so everybody knows. Obviously, we've loved Dice Throne since the beginning of Dice Throne pretty much. So, we're very excited to play Slam Throne. This is not Dice Throne, but it is set in the Dice Throne universe with the characters that you may be familiar with. Um, but what we're going to be doing, and just gonna explain how the game works, is we're going to be slamming down our thrones and we're fighting and it's great.
It's weird. That's the actual uh like catchphrase
slamming down our thrones.
It's not
might be.
It's not that.
Uh so this is going to be available at Gen Con.
This is a Gen Con edition. This will be available at Gen Con. Um I will not be at Gen Con.
Me neither.
I I don't know all of the details. I think it's uh
you can only buy a certain amount per person or something to that effect. But I suspect they're going to go pretty quickly. So, if you want to try this out and they are like blind bags ultimately the uh slammers are going to be different.
Yes.
Um and it will come with a little slam pad which I do think is essential. Gives a little bounciness.
Little bounciness.
And we'll show you how to play here in a second. But these are uh they will be blind bags and you get a chance at for one of four of the slammers. So right now there is the shadow thief, there's the pyromancer, moon elf and barbarian. And they all have unique abilities.
Mhm.
Which will come into the game play.
Yes. So I have um and Jeff and I kind of we open these. We couldn't wait for camera because you know what we're like. I have Pyromancer. And who are you playing?
I I have Shadow Thief.
Shadow, which is like Pyromancer is one of my favorites. And Shadow Thief is Jeff's favorite.
I will also mention I believe
they will be doing some tournament stuff at Gen Con as well. Yeah. So, if you not only want to get Slam Throne,
if you want to play it,
learn it
and learn it and play it in a tournament, um, you can check out, uh, Jen Con's website, uh, or shoot off an email to Done.
I will put the Done booth number on screen here so you guys know where to find them.
Yeah. Yeah. Okay. So, how does this game work?
Good question.
Great question. Glad you asked.
Excellent question. We ultimately are trying to just like in dice um knock each other's health down to zero. Our health is represented by these caps. Okay. So before you start, we need to decide. So each character has a passive side and a catch side. Okay.
So the passive side will trigger regardless on your turn or wherever is identified on the character.
Yeah.
Okay. That's the passive side.
Sure.
The catch side
is if you slam the slammer down and then are able to catch it, you will trigger the catch ability, but it only triggers if you catch it. Otherwise, nothing happens,
of course.
Okay.
So, we need to determine that now.
Mhm. So, pyromancer, just so everybody knows, their passive ability is deal one damage at the start of your turn. Pretty good. It's called burning soul. Their catch ability is to just deal three damage straight up.
Yeah.
And damage is just removing one of the caps.
Correct. So again, the caps are your health.
Uh I'm playing a shadow thief. The passive ability is when attacked, I can flip and call two times. If both are successful, I receive no damage.
However, that cannot prevent a killing blow.
Okay. Got it.
So, killing blow is a killing blow
which I will be dealing.
My catch ability is I flip and call. So, I have to catch it and then I flip and call it. If I'm successful, I deal four damage. If I fail, I deal one damage.
Got it.
Okay. I'm going to play with the passive ability.
I would like to play with my passive ability. Should one of us play with the catch ability?
I can.
I don't care either if
I'm never going to catch it. Yeah.
But I will. I'll play with the catch ability.
Okay, cool.
Okay, so then what do you do? Well, my character has 15 health.
Same.
So, that means Jaime's actually got my health in front of her.
So, you need 15 caps. And then I will also need 15 caps.
Just so everyone's aware, a successful uh damage dealt is if any of these caps land. Okay.
Yep.
Face down.
Don't I know it.
All right. and they do get kind of reststacked each time appropriately.
Um, similarly with you, not not not a legal stack there. Jamie trying to cheat already.
How is that not legal?
Just, you know, you got to make sure they're all stacked.
Okay, one more thing to note. Let's say, for example, I throw down and flip them all on my first turn.
Auto win, right? No, you always get a chance
to also
reactionarily kill the other person.
Gotcha.
And in that instance, it goes into sudden death.
Yeah.
Okay.
Yeah.
All right. Okay. Do you want passive or catch?
Passive.
Catch.
Catch.
I will go first.
We're so used to having the camera here that I keep looking there, but you guys are over there. That's a dud. And I believe if I dodge, let me double check here.
If I dud, you did. If you completely miss
miss. Yeah,
but you didn't miss.
I didn't miss. No. So if you miss completely, uh, you get to add a health.
Yeah, but you can't go past your max health or you can.
You can. Yep. Just like in dice room.
Just like in dice throw. All right. So my passive is deal.
Oh, I I forgot about my catch. Yeah, I sure did. Deal one damage at the start of your turn. Fireball.
Uh, well, that's off my health cuz that's my health.
That was aggressive.
All right. Ready?
Yep. Oh, you missed. Okay, so I get to add one back.
No, I don't think I'm good at this.
That was bad.
I almost beat Aaron when I played, but he ended up like
Did he flip all off?
Yeah. Okay, back to me.
I forgot. I keep forgetting to catch
You're using your catch ability. Don't be such a silly goose. Okay, that's my passive.
Yep. You did miss though.
No.
So, you're good. Jamie, this might be the longest game of Slam Throne ever.
What do you mean?
Ooh,
you didn't catch it either.
No, I didn't catch it. But I did all that damage.
All them teeth and no toothbrush.
Do you want to play best of three?
Yeah.
Okay.
So, I get rid of one.
Yep.
Oh, you missed. Add one back.
No, I'm really have bad depth. Bad depth.
I got to remember catch. Okay.
You didn't catch it
or damage done. Not
none.
I flipped the rubber though.
I'm just like going on the long game. I'm just going to keep getting
That's what I was saying. This is going to take forever cuz you're just going to
Yeah, but slowly
I keep missing
deal one damage turn.
Why are you doing it that way?
I wasn't.
I hit it.
Not really.
Can I give you some advice?
I guess
try and hit like half like that.
Okay. It's just too much pressure, you guys.
Okay, I caught it.
Yeah,
but I didn't do any damage.
Okay,
doesn't matter.
Don't Don't count it. Then get rid of one. You got one.
Got one. Got him. So, instead he wins the race. That's what I've been saying for years about Slam Throne.
So, I I should mention your catch ability will only trigger if you do at least one damage. You have to do damage in order to
Okay. Okay. So, I've killed Jamie and I caught it. What was my catch ability just to be sure? I think it was just more damage, right?
Yeah. So, there's no more damage to deal. So, essentially,
I get my turn.
I Yeah, I've killed Jamie, but she gets one more chance and she has to flip the whole stack in order to enter sudden death.
Didn't do it. Shoot. Okay, that's fine. We'll go We'll go again cuz we're doing best two out of three.
Okay.
So, 15 only. Ah, I am not good at this one. Two, three.
When I was uh at the retreat.
Did I do the right one? Two. Yeah,
I was on a roll. I was just like,
well, Jeff's had more practice than me.
That is very, very, very valid and true. Normally, I wouldn't give Jamie that kind of credit.
I thought you were going to say that is very, very, very, very
No, that is fair. That is fair. Um, did you want to flip again to go first or since I won, you want to go first or what?
I want to go first. Okay, go ahead.
Okay, get out of here.
With same abilities, I'm going to stick with catch.
I'm sticking with passive for sure, but you could change it at this point.
Dang, that's a thick stack.
That's a thick boy.
I almost got it, but I didn't do any damage. It wouldn't have mattered.
All right, this is a slow and steady, my friends. We're gonna hit We're going to just passively burn his skin. Pyromancer.
Oh, that's a like basically an ultimate.
That's like an ultimate. That's like Yeah.
Okay. Okay. So, Jamie's killed me.
That was crazy.
I need to flip everything.
Yeah.
In order to enter sudden death.
Yeah.
I got three.
He went like this. Okay. So, 1-1.
Wow, that's crazy.
That was a nice flip.
It's a quick game, guys. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. All right, Jeffy, you get to go first.
We'll flip since we're one.
Okay.
Do you want to call it?
Yeah. Tails.
Catch or passive?
Catch.
Catch is
Okay, that's
You want to go?
Yeah, I'll go.
Tails.
I got really stressed.
Tails. Tails. Okay. Oh, I'm still going with my passive. Y
I'll stick with catch. Yeah.
Okay.
Oh my god. Oh, there's one left.
There's one left.
Oh, so not an ultimate.
I think I got this down, Jeff.
Yeah,
that's going to be harder.
It is hard. It is. I do think it's I do think
Oh, but what happens? My passive I just get rid of it. Okay, so just for clarification, my passive ability will not I won't be able to trigger it to get rid of the last health.
If I believe in most instances with any passives or catch abilities,
I can't deal the final blow.
You can't deal the final blow. You have to flip. All right.
How dead that was. Just went.
It's like a flat spot on a basketball floor.
Yeah, that's going to be fun.
Basketball floor. Oh, you almost got the whole thing to flip.
I know.
Okay. Ah,
no damage though.
Oh, yeah. So, Jeff, you may as well not even bother trying and catch it. Do you know what I mean?
Why?
Because you can't deal the final blow.
But you have a full stack.
Oh, right. That's
That's my health. Yeah. Yeah.
Why no dam Oh, cuz you didn't. Okay.
You have to do damage in order to do the catch. Yeah. You're lucky you hit it cuz it would have gave me health back.
Now we're Now we're the same.
Oh boy.
Now we each have one left.
And we're down to one. I feel confident here.
Oh, you keep missing.
I know.
No damage dealt. Doesn't matter. Sudden death.
Damn it. That's a good strat. Yeah,
just flipping the whole freaking
flip everything.
Let's go one more time just for just for poops. Okay, we'll go again.
One more time.
One more time with feeling. I'll try my catch ability this time. Oops. I really love the pyromancer. I really want moon elf. Moon elf is my favorite dice run character. One of my favorites, I should say. I have many favorites.
I'm going to go first since you will.
So, another best.
You won. You won.
I won.
You won the turnney. The quick little best of three. This is just like a for funsies.
Yeah, we're having fun.
Cuz I'm having fun.
I'm doing my catch. Are you doing your catch?
I'll do my passive this time just so they can see it. Yeah.
So, mine's my pass is when I get attacked, though.
Yeah.
You don't need to catch it.
I know. But it's like instinct.
Yeah. So, uh, what is your passive when you get attacked?
When I get attacked, I can flip and call. And if I get it right two times in a row, I don't take any damage.
Got it. So, just so everybody knows, I'm playing with my catch. I can deal three damage if I catch
extra.
Yeah. Damn, man.
I forgot about catching it.
You slam her down.
I didn't catch it. I forgot.
Oh, I get attacked.
Yes.
So, I have a passive.
Yes.
I didn't do it. So, I can flip and call two times.
Uh, catch.
Tails.
Not good.
Not good. You two times you said.
No, but I have to get them both right.
Frustrated. Frustrated. He's up against a professional.
That was that was the most delayed. The the thing was like laying down for a 5second period before you tried to catch it.
Oh boy.
Why am I trying to catch it?
Don't know. You have the opposite reaction than me. I like watch it. I'm like, "Oh, I'm supposed to catch it."
Yeah. This is the worst I've ever done.
Got one.
Okay, so I got attacked.
You sure did.
Uh I'm going to go catch. Nope.
Oh, you got a couple.
I got a couple.
I'm never ever ever going to catch this.
No, you will.
I just want you all to know.
I believe in you. It's more like I shouldn't say it's more fun, but it is more fun to like also add in the catching element.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
But it's hard.
It gets pretty rowdy when you have a group around you, too.
Oh, Jamie, I just want This is what you're doing. This is not my throw. You're doing this.
I'm hoping it'll just bounce back into my hands.
My god.
What is wrong with me today? What's wrong with me today?
You got a couple a few.
Yeah, I did three,
but I didn't catch it.
This is absurd. I don't think I'm doing down with enough velocity.
Velocity. Veosity. Velociraptor.
Viscosity. I don't think that applies to me.
Viscosity. Velociraptors. Veloca coaster.
Natada.
Wow. Oh, I forgot to do my flip again.
She went for a real spin.
That's okay. I missed it. It's my fault.
Yeah. RTFC.
RTFC.
RTF.
See? Yeah.
RTFP.
RTFS.
Package
Slammer. Yeah. Listen, if you fall into my hand, then I'll
I'm going to flip them all right here. Okay.
Nah, didn't
caught it though.
Sure did. Doesn't matter though cuz you're not doing your catchability.
Nor did I do any damage.
Oh, had one.
I missed you guys.
Sucker.
Missed.
Why am I doing that? Why am I doing that?
This is depressing. Come on. Let's start flipping some. Like that. Get Get serious. There you go. Okay. But I got to do my passive.
Okay. See that? Yeah. Wait.
So catch. Nope. Damn it, man.
You haven't called it once. Stop calling catch. God.
No.
Look at all of the
I should have done catch.
Look at all the fingerprints.
I know. Oh my gosh.
Okay. Well, I flipped them all.
Okay. I got to do my passive catch. I've not flipped catch one time.
Stop calling.
And I know,
but see, in my head I was like, "Oh, I'll call passive this time and then it'll be catch. I got to flip them all."
Yeah. Best wishes. Warmest regards. You didn't do it.
It's so great. That is Flamethrone. So, if you happen to be going to Gen Con, definitely stop by the dice room booth so you can have a look at this and get yourself some. And obviously, there's four characters right now, but of course there's going to be
Yeah, I'll just quickly mention this is the Gen Con edition.
Yeah, it says this will be available at Gen Con. It will not be available outside of Gen Con.
No,
we do have plans for future development. That's all I'll say.
That's all I'll say. And I'm not gonna say anything because I don't don't even know anything about it, but links in the description to the Dice website. Not that you can find it on there right now, but um check there is a uh Slamthrone page. Uh Slamthrone uh let me just
gov.
Uh yeah, you can go to slamthrone.com. Uh it's basically just a preview page right now. There's nothing for sale, but uh it is it will be available at Gen Con and we will have further details coming out as uh as we go along with the product.
Got to catch them all. Anyways, my friends, that is everything that we have for today's video.
I've never lost that many games in a row. Ever.
It's funny cuz Jeff and I just filmed another playthrough and guess what? You lost that, too. Maybe your health just isn't what it used to be.
Yeah.

Whoever wins is the ultimate champion.
Done.
All of the prior games mean nothing.
Got it.
I'm going first. I we just like threw with the rules. We're not even like catching.
I feel like playing a game like this that is what happened. So
this is ridiculous.
It's like when we play like so Clover, we're like I don't even know what the real Oh,
doesn't matter. I'm going to try this without the thing.
That's what it was, Jamie. That's what it was.
Nope. Watch.
Works better for me.
Watch. Watch every time now.
Yeah.
You do this. You're not doing it nailed it right. You should hold it like this.
What do you mean I'm not doing it right?
Watch. Watch.
That's why. That's why, Jamie. This was actually deterring me because it's sponge on sponge.
Yeah, but it it worked for me.
Doesn't matter. Watch. Damn it.
