However....In Prince Magnus Gold though when you find the treasure chests the search tells you to take a card. It does not tell you that you have found the gold or that you have to be next to a chest and then use the pick up button it has off to the side for this room. Minor thing.
One thing I didn't like is that it doesn't offer the chance to steal the Princes gold and become outlaw of the kingdom.

The app lets you move the heroes as many spaces you may want every turn.
For what it is meant to do, the app is pretty cool. But there is no AI involved really. It just Zombie moves the monsters to the easiest target, which makes kitting really easy. No smarts to the system at all, monsters never take an attack, then move out of the way so another monster gets a go at the hero.


That is a bit odd with Prince Magnus's gold and searching, although the "become an outlaw" thing wasn't in the NA edition as an option (but in the EU). The only real downside to being an outlaw in the original version was that you didn't get Champion status after 3 quests (and so missed the 500 gold reward for achieving this rank... a reward that wasn't in the 2nd EU edition or any other edition I know of). Still, yeah, missed opportunity I guess.

Otherwise, makes sense. So again, the honor system for most everything, they assume you are synchronizing with the real physical materials alongside for it to make sense.

At least are the monsters able to leave their starting rooms to attack heroes and give chase once revealed down corridors or into rooms where the Heroes are (vs. the monsters in the 1991 video games that were pretty much stranded where you found them)?

Yes the monsters will leave a room to get at a hero
So it is said that if you know your enemies and know yourself, you can win a hundred battles without a single loss.
If you only know yourself, but not your opponent, you may win or may lose.
If you know neither yourself nor your enemy, you will always endanger yourself.

Are you able to shoot diagonal close up monsters with the crossbow in the app? (that is, with no gaps of squares in between)

The app doesn't adjudicate player hits or monster defense.

You handle that stuff. Now there have been a couple times I thought my wizard had LOS on a monster but the system said no LOS was available. But again one can decide the LOS is there and just resolve the situation and update if a monster is killed.

Pretty much it is set on an honor system.

When you cast a spell, it doesn't delete them from your options. I have to keep track of that myself.

Funny thing....every time I have played with people when Melars Maze comes around the Barbarian somehow loots the talisman. Last night I was playing it (I have forgotten the maps so I had no idea were it was) and the first person who got a chance to loot the room with the Talisman was the Barbarian. LOL So now my barbarian has it. Why mess with tradition.

Apologies, I think I already asked the crossbow question and got the same answer you gave (I blame the late hours). In any case, good info for those curious about the app!

Another great thing would be that you don't need the Remake to use it, as it should be fully compatible with the classic edition. Sure, the new heroes aren't part of the classic set, but their stats and everything have been available since the public playtest back during the pledge drive, so you can use pencil and paper for those and substitute any miniature to represent them.

Once the app alerts you to a trap, it highlights the square in orange from then on

I think it should indicate the square then not light it up and leave it up to the player to remember. But it is what it is.

In this App... can you play with more than 4 heroes? (I'm guessing not)

Is the multiplayer "hotseat" (hand the phone over to the other person when it's their turn) or is there some connectivity online? (guessing its the former)...

Have you gotten it to crash yet by doing anything crazy?

Has anyone see (or can anyone post) a full, specific card list?

I saw that the boxes say there are 151 cards, but I only used up 149 sleeves for mine. Someone on the Facebook group said that they used 151, so I may be missing two cards. Can't figure out which ones.

Check to see if any of them are stuck together? (believe it or not, some of mine were "sticky" to each other)

24 Treasure
8 Monster
12 Hero (4 classic + 4 gender swap pulse bonus + 3 mythic + 1 limited edition--Mentor as a Wizard)
4 Turn cards (text cards showing actions heroes can do on their turn)
34 Equipment cards (23 GS including dupes -- meaning 3 each of the Helmet & Shield and 2 each of the Battle Axe, Crossbow and Longsword + 3 Mythic box--meaning the extra dagger, rapier and wand + 4 ROTWL + 4 KK = that is the Alchemist Shop Potions)
33 Spells (3 Fire + 3 Air + 3 Earth + 3 Water + 12 Dread +3 Druid + 3 Warlock + 3 Bard---that is 9 from Mythic box)
36 Artifacts (14 GS + 2 Mythic---that is Dragon Spear and Crown of Shadows; oops and +10 KK + 10 ROTWL--that is each of the latter two each have ten cards in the back of the quest book)

151 total.

Edit: I swapped around some of my Equipment for Artifacts and vice versa, it's corrected now.
