Damn. You had a great day.

What did you think of Slay the Spire? Are you familiar with the videogame at all or no?

You're blessed to have a group so into gaming! I hope you all had a good time playing. Loved StS but struggle to put it on the table unless everyone is feeling it.

My game group loves STS. We all struggle a bit with the fourth character, but it’s perfect at three

Ah, purple! Yeah my wife struggles with her most! You need to time jumping in and out of stances to use her most beneficially!
