New Cards

[StayPuft]

From everybody on here, I have heard that even with the giant decks, it doesn't unbalance the game.

From one of my gaming buddies, he seemed to think it does, at least as far as with the scenarios like Escape in the Truck, where you are looking for specific items.

Now, a lot of folks here have said that even that is not too terribly unbalanced, as they tend to balance it out with more of these types of items and more of the "Just what I needed" cards and ones like that.

My gaming group buddy didn't seem to feel this was the case, and he actually trims his deck down rather than playing with all of the cards from all expansions.

I have to admit, I tend to lean towards believing the folks here rather than believing my gaming buddy. Reason being, despite owning all the expansions, he actually never got a chance to play the game all that much before he started coming to our game nights. Not many of his friends played with him. In fact, there are several different things within the expansions he has yet to ever get to use.

I won't know for sure until I have all the expansions myself and try playing a few times with the huge decks. Then I will find out for sure. But, others here on the boards can probably comment on that a little more.

Let's say, for example, for Escape in the Truck. You are looking for a set of keys and gasoline. Two very specific items. Now, I believe I recall that Growing Hunger had at least one more set of keys, and I think it had more gasoline, but I don't recall how many. It also had some more of those "I found it" or "Just what I needed" type of cards. So, you can see that does help to balance that out despite the increased deck size. However, does that remain to be the case after some of the other expansions?
