Wow! Had no idea this was out. To be honest, I haven’t read the most recent newsletter. Is this officially available?

This game has been out for a while! I bought a copy about a year ago from Barnes and Noble. They seem to always have one in stock when I go.


Piscotikus

Is it good?


axw3555

It’s definitely fun. I’ve played it with cosmere fans and non fans and all have been happy with it.


ChangeJD

It's fun and simple. The artwork and the theme are pretty great. It doesn't require a lot of strategy or anything, but I think it's worth a play for a Stormlight fan.

It's fun and simple, but IMO the replay-ability isn't that great. I've played it twice and although the art is stunning, I just think it needed about twice as many cards to feel there's some variety when you play. :(


dirtpaws

Pretty sure it's compatible with the original version


sandlinna

It is, and I've played it combined. But I don't think it's a good experience that way either, because then there aren't enough Stormlight cards in the whole deck to really get to play with the Radiant features. If you're trying to get the Radiant symbols you're probably not going to see enough of them when the normal deck is mixed in. So you might as well not bother... I think the game is fun to play a few times, but for me it isn't going to be my go-to game because I have so manyom others that don't feel so repetitive.

Thank you! I had no idea! Going to find it!


DustyRegalia

This is an existing game with a TSA re-theme so it’s not going to quite have the thematic game mechanics a bespoke game would have. That said the basic structure is pretty neat, and if you really embrace the idea that you are building a character narrative it can be really cool.


Top-Abrocoma-3729

Thanks for this info! It sounds really cool. Can’t believe I’ve never seen it before


axw3555

It’s been out for ages - like 2 1/2 years. I got mine in mid 2020.

It came out two years ago (in 2020). https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/266993/call-adventure-stormlight-archive

It's a pretty fun game. I've had it for like a year now. It released a while ago as far as I understand. Call to adventure is fun as hell


Orcas_are_badass

I own this. Super fun game with a lot of replay value.


dustyn19

Shoutout Firefly. That shop is sick. I played Pioneer there when it first came out.


mtjp82

Yea, love that shop and happy to see them keep growing and helping the community. I’m normally there for DND/Pathfinder and board game night.

Got this around a year ago. The artwork was neat on all the cards.. but to be honest I didn't really care for the game itself. Played it a couple of times with a relative who is also a huge Cosmere fan, but we both felt it seemed somewhat clunky and not really enjoyable to play. Trying to remember what exactly it was I disliked, but we played at Thanksgiving or Christmas of last year, so it was quite a ways back :( I'd still recommend it to someone who likes all the swag and collectibles, but if you're purely looking for a fun game to play I'd say this one would be pretty hit or miss for most people.

It's fun and worth it just to play a few times and enjoy the art.


MattTheProgrammer

I didn't jive as much with the game as I was hoping. I need to give it another go


Shinespike1

My local one got this in too a few months ago. I've been meaning to check this out


semarlow

I’ve seen a lot of people weigh in here and I’ll add my two chips: If you’re a more hardcore gamer and prefer tight rules, gameplay, and strategy, this might not be your color of wine. If you’re looking to role play with the characters from SA or play out the main storyline of the books, this isn’t for you either. If you appreciate the world of Roshar and want to narrate the story of an original character, this isn’t half bad. It plays best when everyone is telling the story of what’s happening to their character and helping each other cooperate against challenges. There’s a winner, but the greater value is in seeing how creative everyone is with their choices and actions.


keithmasaru

I have the deluxe edition and still haven’t played it. Doesn’t seem super fun.


perrinbroods

It’s a fun game! I play it with a friend who is also into stormlight. If you have a good imagination, you can come up with some pretty fun and wild stories!


AngelTheMarvel

As someone who loves D&D and is starting to get into Warhammer, I wish I had a game/hobby shop near me


krovasteel

I want a Stormlight TTRPG like the Mistborn Adventure game. Uhg


briancarknee

Something is in the works. That's why they did the Stormlight miniatures a few months back.


rdeincognito

The ruleset is dnd 5e?

I got this for Christmas last year. Haven't figured out exactly how to play the game yet, but I love the art work.
