Slay The Spire: The Board Game Review - Why does this even exist?

Description provided by Real Jon on YouTube:

Gosh finally another release. Sorry that I took so long in between videos, burn out kicking in and cant bring myself to work on my vidoes (or laziness lol one of the two). STS: TBG is a literal translation of the video game to a board game. They try to make it as close as possible. But with stuff like this, there's always the question of "why dont I just play the video game?". And this game has already failed that question. The answer in this case is, "you're right, you should just play the video game". When you translate a video game to a board game, you're always going to be at a disadvantage because you lose access to a computer that does things faster for you and makes the game more enjoyable. So you really need to compensate it with something. This game does not bother doing that AT ALL. So the outcome is pretty predictable: an inferior, more expensive version of the video game. Co-op is laughable and should not be the game's selling point. It might as well not be there seeing how shallow it is. God, is it too much to expect a decent co-op mechanic? You already have a solid game as a base. I actually expected that we'd at least get new cards or characters, but nope, nothing. You are not giving me a reason to get this over the digital, at all. But hey maybe I'm the odd one out because the game seems to get good praise for being the absolute same / worse for whatever reason. Seriously, if you like this and have played the digital game, tell me why you like it? 0:00 Introduction 0:27 Rules: Video Game 4:36 Comparison vs. board game 9:03 Should you get it? 9:08 Zero new content 9:55 "Co-op" 11:05 Game's too damn long 11:48 "Simultaneous" 12:35 Conclusion 12:53 Recommendations
