Dan Poole reviews OOTS Adventure Game on BGG

Order of the Stick is a fairly huge card game where the dungeon is created by laying cards. This is similar to such games as Dungeoneer and Plunder in that there is a deck of really nice over-sized dungeon room cards which are laid next to other room cards as the dungeon is explored. The final level is always Xykon’s layer which is created from its own special deck. The object of the game is to explore the dungeon, fight monsters and gain Loot. The latter 2 will allow you to draw more Shtick cards, which are basically like level-ups for your characters earning them better, more powerful abilities. The ultimate goal is to descend into Xykon’s lair and slay him. At that point the dungeon starts collapsing at which all characters high-tail it out of there. The winner is the player who has earned the most Bragging Rights. These points come from a combination of Loot, Shtick cards in play, and whoever killed Xykon. Players who exit the dungeon first also earn Bragging Points. Read more…

    Hello; I just received this game for Christmas (sealed) and the Haley and Belkar character tokens were missing from the set. I haven’t noticed any other cards missing. I am writing to ask if you would send me copies of those two tokens.

    Thank you for your time.

    Hi 🙂

    I bought the game a long time ago, but am now missing the “how to play” comic.
    Is it possible to buy a new one, printed or for download?

    Best Regards Emil
