We have found that the inclusion of all three boards seems to drag the game out as it becomes relatively much slower to get around. That's where the idea of the Hurry-up roll came about though. That works ok if there is enough investigation around. Yeah. Next time I manage to get ATOE to the table I'm considering cutting down to 1-2 boards, not because of length, but just that it seems to dilute the "focus" of the boards. I'm considering staging it based on Villians drawn to keep the "theme" more intact of each board. As in: Base set Villian = Shadowbrook only & Core Heroes only. SW Villain = Shadowbrook + Echo Lake boards & Core + SW & HP 1 Heroes only. The Coast Villain = Shadowbrook + The Coast boards & Core + The Coast & HP2 Heroes only. I may or may not restrict the heroes, but the boards at least anyway. ---MS

RE: First play of The Coast
That is pretty much what we do - limit the boards to the villains, or vice-versa - but we don't limit the heroes. We draw them randomly out of the total pool. As you say, limiting the boards perserves the thematic flavor (and keeps the game moving better in my opinion).
