We got the Mummy's Mask base set and character addon a few days ago, and started with our big six player group. Yesterday, we started a Sandstorm of Malevolent Will, and had the longest turn in history. Our Magus flipped the blessing at the start of the turn, and revealed sandstorm. Okay, now 6 players have to move to other locations, revealing the top card. As it turns out, two locations, the ruined temple and the hot springs, had the henchman on top.
Now for those who haven't played yet, the henchman has a trigger effect to discard the top card of the blessing's deck and shuffle in a sandstorm to replace it. So, the first time we do so we flip....another sandstorm. Now, with 6 players, it becomes a near inevitability that someone is going to hit one of the two locations again before we run out of sandstorms. And for whatever reason, we just keep drawing sandstorms off the blessing deck, and they keep getting shuffled right back in by the henchmen. We face 5 consecutive sandstorms, 8, 10. It just keeps going. Finally, on the 12th sandstorm, we go a while only flipping blessings. We get to the last character...and she rolls ruined temple...SANDSTORM!!!
We ended up facing 15 consecutive sandstorms, and over half the blessings deck was emptied due to finding Agash with all the sandstorms already being in the blessings deck. It was the most simultaneously amazing, hilarious, and frustrating moment we've had in the entire history of the game.
And yeah, we lost. Badly.
Wow! That sounds nuts! Can't wait until my set arrives
