So having really enjoyed the
Extra Curricular Activities scenario of the Dunwich Legacy, I decided to not
wait for my cohorts before trying the second scenario from the deluxe expansion
and gave this a quick go. I again took the reins of “Ashcan” Pete to play this
scenario, as before simply because the deck has more flexibility than my Zoey
build which is almost solely focused on combat.
Act 1 – Beginners Luck
The Clover Club is the venue for
this scenario, throwing a curveball straight into the mix is the enemy the game
has starting in the Lounge, who has Hunter, so will follow the investigators
around. The Aloof keyword starts on all villains at this point, so he wouldn’t
automatically engage me, so hoping I played it correctly, I simply ignored him
and explored the area obtaining clues away from him so he didn’t attack me. I
utilised the locations abilities to get enough clues to proceed in the act and
as a side note I “Cheated” here to get the Elder Symbol from the chaos bag,
don’t worry though, I remembered this for later.
Act 2 – Skin Game
Ok now I had to deal with
another bad guy the encounter deck threw at me and some new hidden locations.
The Agenda act advanced by this point also meaning the bad guys would now
automatically engage me and attack. I wasn’t too worried about this yet as I
was a couple of turns away from the bad guys getting me. I built up on those
turns and waited so I could take down the Pit Boss away from the other bad guy who
had spawned out. I took a fair few hits to the face here but I managed to
sacrifice my Leather Coat to take the blunt of the damage. After finishing the
Pit Boss with the help of my trusty companion Duke, I moved to advance the Act
deck once more.
Act 3 – All In
Professor Rice was found, the
VIP Room of the Clover Club was obviously the place to be, however at the same
time a new uber bad guy had materialised in the club to hunt us down. Again,
luckily I was a few turns away and I had no intention of tackling the enemy all
by myself. I instead opted to gather up the entranced professor, sneak out the
back door, carrying cab fare and leaving a fake phone number in my wake to
complete the scenario with all my faculties intact.
Again this was a real quick
play through, and no doubt at some point I made a mistake during my game. One
thing I did notice about this scenario was that I finished it with 4 experience
points, where my play though of the Extra Curricular Activities scenario left
me with 1 experience point, although I could have gotten 2 had I been
smarter. I feel like this is the
scenario to work on, so you come out of it with a good number of experience
moving forward in the campaign.
Based on my games I would be
moving forward in the campaign with 5 experience points, which certainly would
give me some options moving forward regarding upgrading my deck. I am hoping that
the 4 man game will reap some extra points, as the team can make sure we hit
those targets to obtain those extra points I missed during my solo play
through. One thing the game required me to note was that I had “Cheated” during
Act 1, this would have resulted in a new token being thrown into the Chaos Bag
for the remainder of the campaign had I been continuing.
A fun game and surprisingly nothing
like the core campaign; enjoyed the fact there was a big bad guy present from
the start and that dodging him for the first few turns was critical. I really
enjoyed that the game added locations to the board as the act progressed; it
gave the feeling of secrets being uncovered and definitely gave the feeling of
an evolving storyline. This scenario has really set the tone for the Dunwich
Legacy campaign and I am very excited to start the campaign properly with the
rest of the team.
As usual thanks for reading, I
would again highly recommend getting yourself down to Watchtower Games in Crewe
or Even GTG Guys That Game in Hanley and get yourself a copy of the core set
and give this game a try. You won’t regret it.
