So we finally managed to start our new campaign, unfortunately
one of my team was unable to make the first outing in this campaign, so they
will be joining us for the next parts of the campaign. This outing saw me
taking the reins of Daisy, as the investigator of choice to discovering clues
it made sense to keep her in the line up for this campaign. Josh took the role
of fighter again, this time piloting Zoey from the Dunwich Legacy expansion.
Finally Shaun playing my Aschan Pete deck, which I had used in my solo outings,
to provide a level of diversity of play style.
We opted to go into the Clover Club first for our campaign,
where as you may recall from my previous posts I went to the University first
for the Extra Curricular Activity. So the scene was set in the seedy
underground club located in the heart of Dunwich.
Arkham Horror: The Card Game: 3 Player Review – The House Always Wins
Act 1 – Beginners Luck
In the same way I ignored the
Pit Boss I n my solo play through, we aimed at discovering as many clues as we
could and exploring as much of the club as we could. We swiftly obtained the
clues we required to move forward in the scenario.
Act 2 – Skin Game
Luckily Josh had managed to
obtain some weapons and managed to tackled the bad guys which were starting to
be thrown out by the agenda deck. Shaun also took advantage of his faithful
Duke to tackle to bad guys, while I sticking to my role discovered more clues
and revealed more locations for the team to explore. I must note we really flew
through this scenario and advanced through the acts pretty quickly, the Pit
Boss and the random monster (name avoids me) were taken down rather swiftly.
Act 3 – All In
Once again, Professor Rice was
found, the VIP Room of the Clover Club was obviously the place to be, however
at the same time the new uber bad guy had materialised in the club to hunt us
down. Again, we opted to gather up the entranced professor, sneak out the back
door, carrying cab fare and leaving a fake phone number to complete the
scenario.
The main thing we noted from
this scenario was that Josh really did end up tooled up to the eyeballs but
never really got to utilise everything he had equipped. Where Shaun and I did
most of the lifting, discovering clues and rescuing Professor Rice to advance
through the chapter. We quickly reset the board and opted to move straight into
the next scenario.
Arkham Horror: The Card Game –
3 Player Review – Extracurricular Activity
Act 1a - After Hours
In a similar way to my
original solo play through, we rushed to get enough clues to gain entry to the
museum. One thing we did note early was that Josh wasn’t finding those weapons
like he did in the previous scenario so I held little hope we would be able to
tackle the big bad guy I knew would be spawning later on.
Act 2a – Rice’s Whereabouts
This was an interesting act, the
objective was to take control of “Jazz” Mulligan, an asset who was shuffled
into the encounter deck. For the cost of 1 clue, we could discard the top 10
cards of the encounter deck and luckily for us “Jazz” came out without us
needing to spend any clues. We convinced him to join are merry band on our
adventures to advance.
Act 3a – Campus Safety
So once again we came to face
with “The Experiment” and as Josh had not managed to really get tooled up this
time, we opted to get the hell out of there and go through the path of
resolution 2 as I did with my solo play.
Not a too detailed a report I know,
however this play through really flew by. We managed to obtain 7 experience
points to take with us into the next scenario. Next time we will be tackling
the Miskatonic University scenario and
fingers crossed it will be a four man play through moving forward, sadly Stuart
will be entering with a 0 level deck but I am not worried about this as the
rest of us can pull some of the slack.
I am also hoping to drop in
the stand alone scenarios while we play this campaign as I managed to pick up
both of them in the New Year. I am a huge fan of this game and I would highly
recommend anyone to pick it up from their friendly local gaming store.
