So, couldn't resist the urge to grab this game and today it arrived. quick unboxing and then dwelve quickly into the first adventure.
Selected Valeros and looked at locations. Woods looked toughest for him so decided to start there to get rid of it "before things got though".
Excited, a bit nervous with everything set up I flip the first blessing card and goes vigorously at my first explore, and get the villain...
Despite the debuff I spank him and he runs off embarrassed. New turn, move to new location and explore an item that I completely fail to get. next turn, explore and, guess what? villain again! Quick spank and send him running to the last location.
Apparently he thought better than to face me because now he used trickery and alleys to keep me at bay. Now things got interesting and it became a race against time suddenly as I had *2* Ghosts in the location deck (as it turned out) as well as skeleton hordes and those bloody ghosts just kept popping up (as I had no magic whatsoever to actually defeat them).
Eventually though I caught up with the villain again and proceeded to spank his henie as per previous encounters and game was won! Huzza!
I'm not sure I did everything 100% right, but who does first time around? But it was quite interesting and I plan to run Valeros and all the other 6 (for now) heros through this adventure before selecting a team to take on the full path. Fun was had and more will come!
Quick Q: The reward was a random item boon, the one I pulled was elite, am I allowed to keep that in my deck despite not being basic?
