Wraith and the Giants - Solo Game - Build actions strength with icon matching

hello graduates it's Stella from mble University and this is Stella's short and sweet preview for WTH and the Giants from Renegade game studios every 23 years since who knows no human alive can confirm the Giants wake up from their ridiculously long naps coming to the Village looking for a snack no one knows where they come from but what we know is that generations of rates have been kicking the Giants bus to keep the villagers safe free and able to partake in leisure activities such as board game kns upon the wraiths have been bestowed the powers of strength lightning speed and of knowing the weak spots of these Giants and this is where our Story begins after 23 years of peace and quiet guess who's back wo wo wo hold up Mr mysterious narrator in the sky somewhere I'm nervous as heck and you totally made me sound way cooler than I actually am oh my bad passing the mic to you then thank you like I don't already have enough pressure and this honey tea is doing nothing for my nurse should have gone for Brandy like my grandmother the legendary wraith now she knew how to handle stress big shoes to fill are you all worting for me I know you would all right here we go a great the Earth giant just my luck the game plays one player with mechanics such as hand management icon matching and point to-point movement the game is of medium complexity wraith and the giant is a solo game where you are a wraith playing the right cards comboing the symbols for stronger actions to try to evade the Giant's attack and to defeat the giant you pick one of the four Giants and one of the three Reds for the game hey that's me young healthy and mostly eager to fight though those clothes does nothing for my complexion fashion crimes aside each wraith has their own deck of cards they use in the game your goal is to defeat the giant and there are two ways to empty the Giant's Health pool yes emptier than my social calendar or deal enough scars he threee Scars by destroying three giant cards on your turn you play two cards you must do the action from the first action R in any any order if there is more than one action before moving to the second action run actions are usually moving and attacking then you may discard cards and draw back to five you don't discard the cards on your action row they stay there to potentially make your next action stronger with icon matching after your turn the giant tries to attack you get wounded or need to lose cards from your deck if hit [Music] actions could be climbing going up the Giants to higher spot he four times via connected footh holds dropping moving down adjacent footh holds and leaping any direction to the liap value must move at least one foot hold with each move action even if you don't want to got to keep moving to confuse the giant this is pretty much like David versus Goliath but it's St are the R versus Elemental giant all right all right I know you cannot wait to know how you attack the Beast I'll tell you now there are three symbols you use for attack the sword for attacking your current spot the error for adjacent spot or fireworks for on and adjacent spots and this gets interesting because the previous cards you play Stay when you do this sword attack attack you count how many symbols on this row and attack that amount so this is a four sword attack because there are forehand symbols present ha I knew that umit was one of your weak spots well that hurts a bit and it tickles I will eat you with glutenfree salad on the side never wait did you say gluten-free are you just grumpy cuz you're d fighting so you trying to kill me your intuition for the Giants weaknesses are represented by these cards you can only attack the current weak spots in the Giants card Ro and this will change over time so make sure you're in the right place deal damage and move wounds to the card reach the amount of wounds here you destroy the card and that's one scar out of the three done then giant fights back either is trying to damage you if you're at the leftmost card's depicted locations unless if you've already started to wound the card your armpit is wounded so your armpit F attack can't wound me yes but you have enraged me oops almost forgot yes the giant has a rage Frack so when it's eventually wound me I'll get all the negative ative effects like extra wound removing my cards from the game all the bad stuff ha maybe still better than getting attacked then the left card is discarded new card is drawn and if this symbol matches other cards then activate the attack on that other cards fantastic oh well when your draw deck runs out you can reshuffle back the cards you've sced but when you cannot draw back to five cards and there are no cards to recycle well you lose other ways to lose are when you run out of Health ouch or the Giants that runs out oh no if I lose then everyone's going to be minced and eaten by the giant I cannot let that happen it's just a game right yes you you just then reset the game and try again but still winning would be much better so drain those Health tokens Scar the giant focusing on which roow you collect certain symbols might help as you play more cards your actions are stronger further jump stronger attacks yay but watch out for the Giants cards some cards have effects that make your attacks weaker others are just painfully strong but no fear the r has also Fess actions with a cost of one wound to myself I can drop down one sort Attack One or climb one multiple times do it at the right time to make it worth my wound the game also has water giant air Giant and fire giant with higher health and Scar limit and their own giant deps and other rights adult and Elder r with lower health and adding even more Health to the giant they come with their own decks and actions need even more challenges you've beaten the Giants 12 times with all the r giant combinations they are high difficulty variant to use that prent you from attacking certain footholds of the Giants so thanks for watching folks check out W and the Giants project page and don't forget the narrator who are you really can you like shut up if you're not
