I did and I'm quite excited about it. I've played 5 or so runs in Tabletop Simulator with some friends and had a blast. It translates fairly well to the physical format. Plays differently than the video game but captures the same feel.

Nice! I backed the kickstarter as soon as it came out but I haven't played the game yet on TTS. I did watch Jorbs stream it with one of the developers and it looked awesome. "This is the first time I've ever needed one more gold at the store and the devs have actually stopped by to give me one more gold"

I did! I’m not a big player of Dead Cells but the tabletop gameplay seemed very interesting and varied

Edit: wow, total brain fart. I associated a mobile app board game with another lol ignore my comment, k thx

Lmao, so sorry. I had a total brain fart. I backed the Dead Cells board game which is also based off a mobile game and didn’t realize the quick association I made when I commented

I played it on TTS and found it to be super slow and clunky as compared to the video game version. I can see how it would be fun if you wanted to play with others, but the reduced card powers and fiddly tracking of everything really slows it to a crawl. If I want a good coop I'll go for Spirit Island or Cthulu:DMD first. And when I want my StS fix I just bust out the Steam Deck or Switch and play it there, so much more streamlined.

I backed it! I'm not confident it will turn out to be a great game but me and my SO love the video game, we'll find a way to make it work.
