{"product_id":"20-strong-tainted-grail-deck-only","title":"20 Strong: Tainted Grail (Deck Only)","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn Tainted Grail 20 Strong, you will choose your path as four enemy types confront you, each one with a different level of difficulty and different rewards for taking them down. Shift between foes to build a well-rounded hero for a final fight against the boss. Combos in combat are critical as the dial severely limits the dice you can apply to enemies, but you can get around those restrictions by playing combat cards to unlock more options. The deck-building and combat card combinations change your strategy each time you engage an enemy! If you don’t want to face a certain enemy or are scouting for a different one further down in its deck, cast it aside into the Menhir Stack at the end of an engagement. After eight turns, you will face off against an extremely difficult boss, who will bring one or more Menhir Stack minions along for the fight.

This challenge could be in the form of an enemy, a unique scenario, or some other requirement (for example, players of the\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003eToo Many Bones\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003edeck might expect to see a Lockpicking challenge or two). Challenges usually require a certain number of successes to complete, which you earn by rolling a set of 17 dice with different odds for a hit (these dice, along with three adjustable stat dice, make up the “20” in\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem\u003e20 Strong\u003c\/em\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you roll enough successes, you complete a card’s challenge and gain its rewards. If you don’t, you take damage and move on to the next card – unless, of course, your HP stat is reduced to 0, costing you the game. If you manage to make it through an entire deck, you take on one of the deck’s final bosses, attempting to score enough hits against this powerful enemy to claim ultimate victory.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOf course, it’s never so easy that you’d want to spend all of your dice on a single card. In addition to your HP Stat, you’re also keeping track of your Strategy (which controls how many rerolls and items you have) and your Recovery, which controls how many dice return to your pool after taking on a challenge. If you roll more dice than your Recovery, those dice are exhausted, lowering your pool for your subsequent challenges. It’s a game of pressing your luck, strategic decision-making, and resource management.
