We just played chains of silver with 4 players.
After fighting the silver chain smugglers 16 times to close the first 4 locations, we encountered Meret-hetef in the alchemical laboratory. This is a nightmare!
Before you act every character summons and encounters the graven guardians of nethys. If anyone fails, the villain is evaded, so you all must succeed, but if you overkill them then everyone has to take 1d4 acid damage due to the location text.
You must therefore skate a thin line between failure (which causes you to take damage, and causes the henchman fights to be pointless) and overkill which has the potential for accumulated acid damage making each subsequent person's check that much harder as they run out of cards in their hand.
After 3 failed encounters with the villain and 12 fights with the graven guardians (we shuffled the villain back in as there were no other open locations) we finally ran out of blessings in the blessings deck.
How does anyone win with 4 players?
