Happy Mini-Pack 1 day! The first expansion pack is now available on Google Play, Amazon Appstore, iOS, and Steam. You can also buy Expansion Season Pass 1 which gets you the first 4 expansions and 3 mini-packs as they come out.
The app is now live in the App Store, so go get it there too!
Onward to Rook City!

You've commented before on-stream about the language change made for the base set games. Ambuscade still has the "play the top card of the villain deck" formatting.
Not exactly a bug, but....

Those changes are on the villain character card only.

What sort of priority is the multiplayer function at? Is it scheduled to be added along with Rook City, or just whenever it's figured out and implimented? Only curious. Thanks!

My brother did a search on the Steam store for Sentinels of the Multiverse, but the main page doesn't have the season pass. We used the twitter link to get to it, but I thought you'd like to know.

@xThe Killswitch: Priority and scheduling are not the same thing. It's a high priority for us and we are working to make it available when it's ready. It is not tied to any particular expansion pack release. We will likely have a public beta for it as well.
@Donner: Thanks! We're aware of that and hope to get that resolved with Valve. We put a link in the description, and you can see it from the Mini-Pack 1 page too, or from the in-game store.

Cool, I've just got the Season Pass thingy. Probably not likely to play till online multiplayer is available, but it's nice to have :).

@Silverleaf: Apple's process is out of our control. We decided that we didn't want to make everyone on other platforms have to wait for that.
@MarioFanaticXV: We have not announced a GOG version. There are no official timelines on any additional platforms/stores right now.

You should tell Apple that if they don't release the mini-pack soon, they're going to have to deal with a bunch of angry Sentinels fan.
We'll send an army of raptor bots to Apple headquarters!

I also noticed, when viewing Ambuscade's character card on the "Invisible Stalker" side, I flipped it to remind myself what he did on the other, and the while the correct rules text was there the artwork was still "Invisible Stalker". Oh Ambuscade. So sneaky.

Question I dont know if this is right or not, But Used Tempests Destroy 2 enviroments, and I forgot the Name of the Card But Haka's card that allows him to put anything he kills under it. I had some barrels under him, and there was 1 evroment card out. So Tempest destroyed that one then it had me destroy one under Haka. Not sure if that is how it is supposed to work but thought I would check.

Flash Flood says "Destroy up to 2 Environment cards". You could use it to destroy a card under Haka, but you shouldn't be required to.

The card you're thinking of is Flash Flood, and yes it could destroy environment cards under Savage Mana. Keep in mind that Flash Flood says "up to", so you don't have to destroy two environment cards with it if you don't want to, unlike Blinding speed or Grappling Hook.

Experiment and get Blinding Speed with no environment cards or villain ongoings isn’t fun. I guess that’s why it is an experiment.

Silver Gulch is a great addition, those initial envronments are really involved, nice to have a more laid back one.

I have to say, any environment that says "Heroes may not play cards" or "… use powers" annoys me… And those original environments have those a lot. Limiting my choices is not as interesting as giving me more interesting choices (like choosing between playing a card -or- using a power).

SST + Unity was fun.
The first 4 uses of experiment got nothing in play, but the fifth put Scrap Metal and Supply Crate in play. That worked out really well with Scrap playing Swift bot.

In one of our first games after getting the mini-pack on the app, we played Rook City Wraith, Absolute Zero and Young Legacy against Cosmic Omnitron in Silver Gulch.
Cosmic Omnitron learned an important lesson about terraforming when he decided to terraform over two explosive wagons in Silver Gulch. What with all the exploding and Isothermic Transducer/Focused Apperatures in play, it was a fatal mistake for ol' Cosmic.
His own terraforming was his undoing.

I also just had a game in Silver Gulch against Cosmic Omni that ended in a spectacularly fatal Explosive Wagon blast, except I was the one on the losing side. My team was Wraith, Fanatic, Young Legacy, and Haka.
The early game was fairly usual. I flipped Omni early and used Wraith to prevent most of the drone swarms while everyone else focused on knocking down Omni as quickly as possible. A Terraform got Omni an Electro-Pulse Explosive that I couldn't easily remove (and a group of drones), but I was able to use Chastise to avoid wasting time on it.
The pivotal moment happened when I decided to use Rampage to sweep all the drones up into a big Savage Mana play, since I would have had enough to take Omni down the rest of the way on the following round. I had Young Legacy use Take Down to stop Omnitron from doing anything unexpected, because both she and Fanatic were critially low on health by that point.
The Rampage/Savage Mana combo went as expected, except that the environment played that unfortunate Explosive Wagon. Still, the Rampage didn't do enough damage to destroy it, so I still felt fairly safe. Omnitron was below 20 health (with Take Down still active) when I passed the turn. Things were looking very good for me.
That's when one of the gunmen popped up and decided it would be a good idea to set off the Explosive Wagon. This did even more damage to Omnitron, but it also was enough to finish off Fanatic and Young Legacy. Losing Fanatic also meant that the Chastise on the EPE was removed, causing Wraith and Haka to go down as well. Game over.
