![]() ![]() As soon as I opened the box and saw the boss decks, I was excited, because I knew they were going in the right direction. It should be hard, but not so hard that it feels impossible (like the video game). This is a game that my kids loved watching me play because it was insane! How do you go from that frantic boss-rush feel to a board game? Even a real-time game might not be frantic enough. So of course, my first question was whether or not they could somehow figure out how to capture that crazy feel in the box. I loved this video game so much it hit every note for me. Save Sheets let you record your letter grade, coins, and your progress through the 8 Boss decks. You’ll also determine a letter grade for your performance – either using the app or a handy table that’s in the rulebook. You’ll gain coins from a KNOCKOUT that you can spend at Porkrind’s Emporium to buy upgrade cards – which is a very good idea to help you with further bosses. Once you’ve defeated all the phases for the Boss, you reach the KNOCKOUT card. ![]() Ignore any further attack cards and set up the next phase of the boss. If you brought the Boss’s health down to zero, the phase is done. If the Boss still has health remaining, reveal 3 more attack cards and do it again – it’s time for another run! Once your time is up, resolve the Boss attack cards in order from left to right and discard them. You can never go back – you have to go from left to right. If you’re satisfied with your assignments so far? Then re-roll all the dice you haven’t assigned yet, and keep going! You’ve only got a couple of seconds! ![]() (But the black EX die can do extra damage!) Matching symbols means you’ll dodge attacks – you need to assign extra “shoot” symbols to actually do damage to the boss. You can set it to 15 or even 10 for more of a challenge, and start rolling!Īfter a roll, you can assign dice to your player board – from left to right, corresponding to the symbols needed to block the attack cards. Then you set your timer – 20 seconds is the maximum. Reveal the first 3 attack cards and place them on the board – reveal an extra if you get a WALLOP card. Set up the boss character card (note their starting health, depending on player count), then shuffle the attack cards just for the current phase and set them next to the board. Start with choosing a character and grabbing their player board, dice, and health. ![]() (That guy we played last night – 5 phases? Really?) Each one contains a set of cards allowing you to battle that boss over at least 3 phases. Let’s talk about how to play Cuphead: Fast Dice Rolling Game. It looks so good – I love this art style! But I love a lot of art styles. Other than the save sheets, everything is intentionally sepia-toned in the game – even the tokens and the dice! It borrows heavily from the “rubber hose” animation style of 100 years ago – strong lines, exaggerated poses, and limited use of colors and shading. The art is drawn almost line-for-line from the Cuphead video game. Roll your dice to fight Bosses such as the Root Pack, Hilda Berg, and Djimmi the Great.ġ-4 players can play a session in about 20 minutes and it’s best for ages 12 and up.
