Especially if you're playing solo.

I don't really sleeve to protect the cards. I'm not serious enough about gaming to worry about "marked" cards. The reason I sleeve is because sleeved shuffling is so much nicer and easier than unsleeved.
Back when I used to play MTG, sleeves didn't exist. If I told people now that I riffle shuffled my power 9, they'd probably have a fit.It is nice for smaller decks of cards, but when dealing with larger decks and lots of cards I find sleeves to become a pain for shuffling really. Course folks will go white at me bending and classic shuffling my cards too
Sliding is such an annoying problem that I don't understand why glossy sleeves are still being produced by anyone. More glare too. All sleeves should just be matted and glossy sleeves should be a forgotten mistake.

Gotta keep revealing those tiles to trigger the end. Run through so you have a conga line behind you. Not very thematic but what ever. Yes those encounter cards can be brutal. Only played Ashardalon and that was hard.
Yeah, it definitely takes some learning. I've probably played a dozen games so far and it's still hard to keep everything straight. It's a whole lot of fun though. I picked up a bunch of boosters from the War Of Light set and I pulled a bunch of really cool stuff right off the bat.
I was so glad to be finished with those stormtroopers, only to pick up Twin Shadows and realize there are more of them to paint.
I don't like the idea of just using more healing surges. :x
A conga line that will be constantly attacking you. T_T
You are damned if you stay still and damned if you explore. :\ The survival aspect would be cool if it wasn't brutal and random.
I'd even say the word is "always". Say you buy something like Imperial Assault, that's like 50 minis (including a huge one) for $90 or so. Single handcrafted resin minis are more like $15 a pop for a typical 28mm character. The fancy ones are actually better for painting and other uses, yeah, but who can afford all that? An experienced painter will bust out a mini in a night or two, $15 a pop is just not sustainable.
Sorestro covers adding shine to everything that needs to be shiny in his video guide for IA, but I thought he just used 'ardcoat? Why wouldn't it work for different colors?
Unfortunately yes. Draw tiles as quickly as you can hoping to get a white triangle so as not to get an event. Leg it to exit.
It's hard to use the healer effectively when they can only use their healing in such a limited fashion. They are all one use each. It's hard to use items effectively when you barely have any. The vast majority of our treasure draws is the 100 gold pieces card.
I know that but it's inconsistent given the random element.
We do nullify encounters when we can, but getting a significant amount of experience isn't easy when some of the monsters only give 1.
No, this is my first experience with a D&D system. We've had a lot of dice rolls not in our favor. ¯\_(ツ
_/¯Don't appreciate this.
To revisit this, it can be the game's fault if there is a significant random element such that you can have such a nonoptimal experience that the variables line up against you. There isn't much in terms of guarantee that things will be in your favor enough to be enjoyable and a decent challenge.
Got Churchill to the table this week. Amazingly fascinating game; not enough good 3 player titles out there. With a couple more plays, I could foresee this becoming a frontrunner for game of the year.
