It was another night where I needed and easy stream. After a busy weekend with the Super Bowl, I didn’t have time to get ready to get a game to the table. Instead, it was time for some Slay the Spire. Plus, I didn’t want anything that ran too long. Of course, this didn’t run too long because of a mistake that I made, which, you’ll have to find out what it was.

The Game – Slay the Spire

Why does this game stick around for me? When I played this for the stream one of the first times it was because I needed something fast to play but also because the game itself is fun and it’s been one one that I’ve played for a long time. Then I’ve played it more because there was the board game version that is coming out. But that isn’t enough for it to stick around. I often have issues getting to video games a lot. What works with Slay the Spire?

I think it is, and I’ve noticed this with other games that I come back to, is that it’s a shorter game. A run, a good run, takes about an hour, maybe a little bit more. So I can sit down and play in a reasonable amount of time. If I want to, I can sit down and get in a run while my wife is getting our kid down for bed. Now, it might run longer than that, but he’s not the best always at going to bed on time.

And I find that I prefer games that are easier to pick-up and put down on a moments notice. Or maybe not on a moments notice, but that I can leave for a month before I come back, or two. And I don’t need to remember any particular story of the game. Slay the Spire is really great for that because of how fast the runs are. And yes, there might be some learning curve for an ideal deck build again, but it’s not hard to get up and going.

Upcoming Streams

So, it’ll be back to normal next week, and by that I mean an 8:30 PM Central time Monday stream. We might tackle a solo game or multiplayer game that I haven’t tried much. Sword Art Online: Fellowship of Swords. I played it a few years ago, and I want to see if it is as bad as I remember, or if there are some good things about it.

Plus this Wednesday, so tomorrow, the next month in Lands of Galzyr. Join me on the adventures of Bumir. See what troubles he gets into this time. And will he become a legend yet again, or is it all going to fall apart for him. Plus, what story is out there for him to explore.
