ReRoll
* Disclosure: These titles were received free of charge by the publishers or distributors.
I am listening to episode 153, and while I hardly ever comment of things online, I had to give a small shout out and correction to Bargain Quest, which has become a favorite in my house the past few weeks. You seemed to love the game except for the fact that it took too long. You said in the podcast that the boss hit points are twice the number of players, but that is incorrect. The rulebook states “if the monster has received a number of wound tokens *equal to or greater than the total number of players*, the monster is defeated,” which means in a 6 player game, the monster would have 6 hit points, not 12. Since this was your only complaint, I felt the rules should be clarified for anyone thinking about purchasing this game. 🙂
Thank you for the clarification. We will make mention of the error in a future ep.
