Threshold Prototype Review — MMO meets Campaign Game

Description provided by Shelfside on YouTube:

We review a ‘MMO’ styled campaign board game! Threshold by owl studios features players deckbuilding with asymmetric characters, fighting on a hex map (like Gloomhaven). There is a combination of the overland and combat, as players manage their hands of 5 cards, upgrading their decks as they level up. You can role-play as a guardian or mystic in this prototype, to do MMORPG-isms! At some point there may be level 40 raids, or guilds to participate in! Lots of aspects of the questing and loot feel like the popular blizzard game World of Warcraft, but how online could this board game be? Could you play dungeons online with fellow members via discord after the gamefound? Other games mentioned: Pokemon Emerald, Elder Scrolls Betrayal of the Second Era, Guild Wars 2, Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon, Tainted Grail: Kings of Ruin, Dragon Eclipse, Dominion Play Threshold: https://gamefound.com/en/projects/oomm-games/threshold Table of Contents: Overview - (0:00) How to Play - (2:00) Pros - (4:41) Cons - (13:40) Tentative Score - (24:07 ) Ashton’s Personal Score - (30:37) Support us: https://www.patreon.com/shelfside https://ko-fi.com/shelfside Our Website! https://www.shelfside.co/ Purchase Games We’ve Reviewed!
