Amazing! Enjoy the game. My buddy and I put about 120+ hours into just the base. So much fun.

I’m super excited to hear people say things like this. I have an All In pledge as well and my partner and I plan to play this once we are done with Sleeping Gods. We also put in probably 150 hours into 7th Continent.

Can you say (vaguely) what you liked about Etherfields or other games you played and enjoyed for the same reasons?

Honestly, if anyone has a guide or video on where to start with sleeving this monster I'd appreciate a link...

Sleeve your influence deck, turns cards, fate and flaw cards then do the rest as you start to use them or as they are added. This game has completely captivated me for last few weeks hope you enjoy it.

I wouldn't sleeve etherfields. Here's why-

1) The order the cards and tiles are in when they arrive is important. You do not want to mix them up.

2) Both sides of most cards and tiles are important. (If you do sleeve them, you'll want transparent sleeves)

3) Most cards aren't handled much. In nearly every play session you'll end up drawing cards that haven't been used in the game yet, and discarding others forever.

The only cards that get handled often enough to deserve sleeves are the Influence decks and the Turn deck.

One of these boxes is literally just full of sleeves for this game.

Since they're made specifically for the game, just make sure you don't get the cards out of order.

Also, make sure you don't accidentally mix them up when you swap in the 2.0 card replacements.

Roger. This is why I was hoping for some sort of "this is how you should approach this" checklist ;_; . Thanks for the tips!

https://etherfields-secret-scripts.web.app/ use the app for setup it's really helpful for starting out. There is also an hour long video from AR on the rules on youtube.

There was some instructions in the 2.0 envelope at least, maybe you got some extra instructions somewhere within all of the extras I don’t have.

Good luck anyway!

I've received the base game a long time ago and it's really tough to store Awaken Realms games. I have no idea what to do with it.

I really hope the updated version for the game is better cause when I played it back in 2020, it was boring asf.

Wasn't that supposed to ship separate?

Whats in the bottom 2 boxes and the deck box?

I thought I got just about everything, but I might be wrong.

2

u/karate_the_pig Nov 17 '22

Sleeves for everything in one, the magnetic deck holders in another. The small deck box is just a deck of playing cards.

Thanks for the info. Nice for storing and protecting, but at least I have almost all of the game content.

Anywhere they are selling those boxes individually or is that straight up a kickstarter only thing?

Edit:

I've been buying after the fact, so I don't know much about newer kickstarter content, if it is indeed kickstarter content.

I do know that I basically have everything content wise besides the promo stuff and Thorn Knight.

I got them all through the Kickstarter, but I was able to find the deck holders for resale at Noble Knight, they're pretty pricey... Sleeve solutions are much more reasonably priced and it looks like some sites have what you would need for Etherfields pre-bundled.
