Thunderstone is another game in the rapidly growing genre of deck-building games. Aim of these games is the best possible Deck at the end of the game. In Thunderstone players look for the thunder stone in Grimhold Dungeon.

Each player has his own deck, in this case a team of adventurers with skills and equipment. Generally you draw from your own pile and put played, bought or defeated cards into your own discard pile, only destroyed cards are removed from the game.

A card display containing Hero cards, Monster cards and Village cards is prepared, either following the suggestions in the rules or using the Randomizer cards. Added to this are 80 basic cards, which are used in each game. Sickness cards and CP cards are further stacks in the display. Each player starts with the same combination of basic cards, 6 Militia, 2 Dagger, 2 Iron Rations und 2 Torch.  Then in your move you must visit the village, enter the dungeon or rest. In the village you can improve eroes, play cards from your hand or use cards from your hand or buy cards from the display. In the dungeon you show your hand to the other players and attack a monster. Defeated monsters go into your discard pile! If you rest you can destroy a card in your hand und switch your hand for new cards. If the Thunderstone card appears at a fixed point in the display, the player with the most victory points in his deck wins the game.

Somewhat more complex than Dominion, and at the moment only available in English – therefore this is a short introduction only, the well-earned detailed review will follow for the German edition published by Pegasus.
