Gameplay Question Any gameplay I can peak from to get the game

Upvotes

I tried studying how to play the game and I still don't really get it.

The manual is so confusing and I have a feeling if I look games online everybody plays it differently. Does somebody know a good boardgame channel that has some games ?

Some basic questions :

  1. Do you every time when priority passes ask if somebody wants to play a card, seems wildly inconvenient

  2. On your own turn you can play as many loot cards as possible right ? So why do you have the ability to play an extra loot card ?

  3. When somebody plays a card or does a die roll, even in combat anybody can pick in and counter with a loot card/active item ? Correct ? But only one unless they use their hero power ?

Meme All connected to battery bum

I made a unlimited money, treasure, health and damage farm with the power of battery bum.

The room cost one loot card to play and says that when you roll a 6, you get one treasure and a loot +2 coins for dark arts, on 4-5 you get 7 coins, 3+ extra on a 5 for greed eye. I’m able to push it up by 2-3 with lucky foot and spoon, and recharge it all with battery bum with the money. And recharge the d100 for more loot cards and health and damage.

My dad just gave up, but it was a fun combo. We just got the game some days ago. We’ve played it every day since.

(Also I ended with getting bum-bo, and if I’m not wrong, your aren’t able to get money after you get him)

I'm new to this and I see there are several versions

I managed to buy this board game a few days ago for about $25, but I'm wondering which version it is?

Which version can I add or expand, or can I simply supplement it with the ultimate version?

I dont think you should start with the 9??? Right?

Because getting 9 health every turn is overpowered.

As the title suggests I’m confused mainly on the soul cards and how it works like earning them via bosses is the only thing I’m confused on because I don’t know if it’s like cards or if it’s just something I gain

Discussion Does anyone use card sleeves?

2 Upvotes

When I first got my four souls set I bought a bunch of baseball card and sleeved all the cards(took about 5 hours lol), however it’s made things a bit tricky ever since I’ve done that cause all the cards are quite slippery and hard to handle. Would anyone suggest any different card sleeves to sleeve them with? I wanna play the game more with my friends and it always makes it a hassle!

Gameplay Question Birthright sleight of hand interaction question

3 Upvotes

i was just in a game where my friend had two sleight of hands due to birthright copying it. A way that he used this was to look at/rearrange two decks at the same time by activating both. I argued that he should only be able to look at one deck at a time since the effect would resolve that way but he was saying he is reacting to the first sleight of hand therefore he can do both at the same time. I can see both sides so I was wondering what the official ruling would be here. Let me know if i need to elaborate on the specifics any further.

Gameplay Question Help with gameplay

Picked up four souls base game not long ago and now I bought requiem, had a blast playing with friends but were still trying to learn the rules and since im running the games it would help knowing how specific mechanics work.

I read through the rulebook and I understand that players can use items on the active players turn but we all assumed that they need to be items in response to actions, so how does sack of pennies work for example? Do you get to recharge it and use it straight away if another player rolled a 1? Because if you're not the active player and you then become the active player you would get to recharge it regardless.

(Side note if anyone can explain the stack like im 5 I would be grateful)

Just got the collectors box and was wondering on the best way to organize it. There is like special things to use as folders within the card holding areas? Should I put the cards in sleeves? I never owned a game this big before.

Gameplay Question Some questions 2

1 Upvotes
  1. Do items like d4, forget me now, pandora box, etc activate when destroyed by death, glass cannon, chaos card, etc.?

  2. Can you use soul hearts or hierophant right before taking damage?

  3. Do you reveal the monster deck or roll the die first?

  4. If you use blank card multiple times before playing loot, does it copy it only once or how many times you've used it?

  5. Can you buy from the shop during combat?


r/FourSouls 7d ago

Showcase I got this cool carrying case at a local card shop while on a small family trip, but noticed it looked a bit lackluster, so I modified it a bit

Buying/Selling Booster pack prices

3 Upvotes

so i looked on the four souls website for the booster pack cards, and i saw the price was £43. and then i checked and saw there was only 70 cards in total. but then i look at four souls+, which comes in a nice box and has 90 cards, for only £19?? i’m not really sure why booster packs cost this much for only 70 cards.

Custom Cards A super main Abiltiy item...

2 Upvotes

I wanted to make a detective type of character that is highly interactive and complicated, but maybe it seems unbalanced and probably breaks or slows the game. What do you think.

This is the Ability.

Ability.

Tap: Choose one.

● Choose a player and ask them if they have a generic loot card type. If they say yes, put 1 counter on this.

● Choose a player and ask them if they have a specific loot card. If they say yes, put 3 counter on this.

● Search the top x of a deck where x is the number of counters on this, and put them back in any order.

$: Pay x counters, and choose a player. That player reveals that many cards from their hand.

$: Pay 0 counters to invoke and call a lie if they lied to you previously about a card you gain 5 counters and that card. If they didn't lie, you lose all counters.
