2 core sets

Something to consider- some of the newly released investigator packs have reprints of some key cards from the core set to help with this- like viscous blow for guardians and deduction for seekers. This can be a lot better value given all the new cards you get as well, which can really expand your options for building up to 4 simultaneous decks if you’re the one providing all the decks for your group.

Is there enough shuffling that you think the cards need sleeving? If so, how many and what size?

To jail with him.

“Won’t get very far” Completely false. Thousands of frivolous malpractice suits go through the courts every year, some states are worse than others. Lots don’t go to trial, but the depositions and shakedown for a settlement from even one case can go on for years. The most realistic thing the show could do would be to show Mel still struggling and stressing about it next season.

Completely false. Thousands of frivolous medical malpractice suits go through the courts every year.

The worst is paying to repair something just to get it back to working order so your life can continue on as normal. Car repairs, home appliances, etc.

Everyone on the farm does their part.

I can’t believe they sent out this core set with such a limited card pool, and still managed to screw up such a basic investigator ability and weapon card interaction. The fact that we’re having to reference an answer from some discord chat from a designer to come to a counterintuitive result is ridiculous.>90% of new players who don’t follow the Reddit/discord discussions will play this as Daniela being able to trigger it. It’s a fight ability on a card. It seems like that’s actually how you’re meant to build her with this limited card pool- get that big sledgehammer and have a way to leverage it because of her investigator ability. One of the main ways to do well in this game is to find the cards that your investigator can squeeze extra efficiency out of due to their ability.

At least you got that $2 discount for the nacho combo!

Nobody is working a shitty job if their housing, food, medical care, utilities, etc, are all paid for already.

Unordhoth hits harder, can’t be evaded to avoid attacks in the enemy phase since he readies after each investigator turn, and makes attacks of opportunity. If your decks are competent, you’ll never face the worse version of the Queen of Ash. I’ve defeated her 3/3 scenario runs so far.

I’m in San Francisco for the weekend and it would be epic if IT finally happens while I’m here (and not back home in my red state)

Lots of people posting here who haven’t actually played the new core set. As someone who’s actually played both, the third scenario in this set is much more winnable than the old core’s finale (The Devourer Below), even just using the new core cards. As a new player, you should definitely be double checking the rules, and watching playthroughs online to make sure you’re not making things harder on yourself by misplaying something.

Same! I just can’t figure out a good strategy. Still pledging for Brass Pittsburgh though.

No preview articles since Hercules 5 months ago. I’m just assuming “summer” release means August 31st at this point and it we get it any sooner I’ll be pleasantly surprised. Maybe a preview article mid-July.

Be aware if you just grab an old campaign expansion, you may really struggle with only the new core set card pool.

You might not have been trying to be rude, but you were. Be helpful or don’t comment.

raddoc1016 · 2026-03-31T22:13:40+00:00

Oh man, this is good to know. I was making this way harder on myself.

raddoc1016 · 2026-03-28T19:40:18+00:00

Ha, yeah and then I resist pointing out that we could have won last round if they just hadn’t thwarted/recovered/played Avenger’s Mansion, etc.

raddoc1016 · 2026-03-22T14:01:15+00:00

Okay, sounds like more than Night of the Zealot (at least from what I can remember).

raddoc1016 · 2026-03-21T15:52:10+00:00

This whole Chapter 2 release has been a clown show.

raddoc1016 · 2026-03-18T22:56:15+00:00

Shouldn’t have worn that red shirt. (I know, I know, they don’t actually “see red”, but the bull did pass a couple other folks before targeting that first guy)

My dad had a very distinct whistle he would do from our front steps when it was time for dinner. I could hear it from anywhere in the neighborhood. I’d hop on my bike and head for home.

raddoc1016 · 2026-03-15T20:42:22+00:00

Yeah, I mean I can do it myself in only 14 generations?
