by JHolub I had a phase in my group where a Mayor in the game guaranteed a win for the good team, because they always trusted the Mayor. Then I gave the Mayor as a bluff to the evil team and in the final 3 all 3 players left alive were like "yeah let's go for the Mayor win" and no one questioned that nobody actually complained about that and then the evil team won.I'm surprised that you think the Mayor win is random as I find it to be one of the, if not the hardest decision to make as a Storyteller in Trouble Brewing. For once whether you actually bounce the Mayor and if you do, who do you kill? It's a decision I think about a lot and nothing about it feels random.

by Hayashi_TMT This was a truly wonderful game!The card illustrations are charming, and the text is easy to read, which made the game very comfortable to play.I am fully aware that the game is currently frozen for the contest, but I would still like to share some feedback.I found some of the diagrams in the rulebook a bit difficult to understand, as they seemed to remain in a simplified form (possibly from the prototype version).Additionally, the intention behind splitting the card information between the front and back was a little unclear to me.From a system perspective, I felt that the cards mainly function as a source of randomness, so I personally didn’t feel that a memory-based element was necessary (this is just my personal opinion).I’ve shared several thoughts, but I assume the current rules are the result of extensive playtesting, and I fully respect the i

Rule I states at the bottom that you cannot piggyback a route between two cities if a trackbed between these two cities is still available for building a new route. Does that mean if Little Rock to Houston is taken, but you could go around that route - Little Rock to Dallas to Houston, then you must go around and not piggyback? Or is it just that one route you look at Little Rock to Houston is blocked so you can piggyback? Also, how are we supposed to know if we find Dead Man's Gulch?Hi Barb,No problem happy to help.[Q]Rule I states at the bottom that you cannot piggyback a route between two cities if a trackbed between these two cities

by baba44713 Not every game is suitable for "episodic" content. This is not X-files, where Mulder and Scully investigate a new case every week and nothing substantially changes, one of the biggest draws of the game is how fundamentally investigators change during a single campaign, which includes significant physical and mental scarring. This gives substantial weight to the experience, one you cannot find in your average D&D romp where mostly you just divide up the loot and tick your numbers up a bit.As stated above, Chapter 2 seems to be changing things a bit and quite possibly putting a bit more emphasis on reusing same investigators in multiple campaigns. I see this as a potential step backwards since it implies investigators would require much more space to grow and be much less worse to the wear than they used to be in "old" campaigns, but for people who really want to just stick with the same investiga
