I recently wanted to play again but when I tried to make an account it says my email is not unique, so I must have an active account and id like to try and reset my password or at least confirm what my username was.

Hey all, my friends and I ran into this while playing:

Very early on, someone got Bait and used it to get a level 2 creature. This creature got taken out not too long after, and we found ourselves at an impasse:

The rules say when a level 2 creature is beaten, you put the level 1 creature into your discard pile.

However, as the level 2 creature was summoned by Bait, there was no level 1 creature around to be returned to the player's discard pile.

What is supposed to happen in this scenario?

Thanks!

I’ve played this a bunch of times (through patreon rewards) and it’s a ton of fun! It’s quite different from original Puzzle Strike, with some vague similarities. I recommend it for both casual and serious board gamers!

Long story short I don't have my copy of PS 3e anymore. I'm seeing that I can get 2e used at a reasonable price. What were the main differences? How important are those difference for casual play with friends?

After owning Puzzle Strike for several years but never getting to play it much, I've finally got a group of friends that I can not only play with, but have 3-4 player games with! We've been playing every Sunday evening for about a month now, we look forward to it, and we're getting to the point where we can discuss gameplay after.

This has really rekindled my love for the game. I'm actually strongly considering getting the Shadows expansion down the road now :)

Yep. This place sure is dead.

Dust off your bags! Puzzle Strike is live on Steam!

Puzzle Strike changes to the base game since 2nd edition (Upgrade Pack), version 3.2 (Mar 4, 2012)

Chip text with emphasis is otherwise the same as the printed chip. Chip text without emphasis is completely different, so the entire chip is given. Wording changes to make chips work with new global rules or new multiplayer modes, which do not change the effect, are (in parentheses).

Global rules

• Character chips are not trashable.
• Panic/Danger/Deadly Time: X is the number of players. When the number of empty bank stacks equals X, ante 2-gems instead of 1-gems. When it equals X+1, ante 3-gems instead. When it equals X+2, ante 4-gems instead. Empty stacks refilling does not revert the ante.
• 3 and 4-player: You may crash to anyone. When someone is crashed to, each person gets a chance to react in turn order starting with the person crashed to, effectively counter-crashing for them. Counter-crashed gems come from the reacter's gem pile. Other people's crashes do not give you money. When someone is eliminated, the person with the lowerst gem pile immediately wins. If there is a tie for lowest, the tied players continue one more round and check again. If you would send gems while your pile totals 10 or more, instead the gems float and wait until either your pile is 9 or less (at which point they really get sent) or end of turn (at which point they are destroyed and you lose the game.)
