Overconfidence Card + Bad Luck = Loss

[alderdust]

So I played a game last night and was playing heroes and the scenario was Search for the Truth...I had found my records collected both explosives and my final destination was about 6 spaces away...with about 10 turns left.

My opponent ZP played Overconfidence while Sam who has both records and both explosives..(I don't know how he got so lucky)..was in the same space as a zombie with more just adjacent or behind him...I wasn't able to kill off the zombie holding him there even though i was rolling 5 dice (with record bonus + faith (combined with rosary to make him holy) + chainsaw vs 1 dice i just kept fending off the attack and not getting doubles. I moved 2 other heroes in the same space as him to fight zombies to try to kill them off so we could move out but when we would start to kill we never could empty the space for instance we would kill 2 of the 3 there just leaving 1 to not allow us to move out.

Quote:Overconfidence

Play this card at the start of a Zombie Turn on any Hero. While the Hero is in a space with a Zombie, they may not move away (they may still search instead of moving).

If the Hero loses a fight, discard this card on the roll of 4+.
Remains in Play

Once Jenny was turned to a Zombie hero it seemed about impossible...this with 6 turns left now and I havent taken any wounds but there were about 5 zombies in the space now. Rachelle then fell and now TWO zombie heroes are right in the same space I was able to keep fighting killing about 10 zombies and 1 zombie hero....but my luck only went so far and his picked up when he had to roll whether to discard the Overconfidence or not...it wasnt long before Sam was my third and final hero killed. (With 2 turns left before the game ended)



When all was said and the game was over I was soooo frustrated I got beat by one card...its rare that heroes pull out a win...I just hate I had so much time and wasn't able to get the rolls I needed to clear the space to allow me to move...I even put a sewer 1 space away and just had to move 1 to get to just outside final destination building.

Is there anything I really could of done differently? I didnt get any cancel remains in play cards during this time and was searching my ass off.

Sorry this is so long I just couldnt wait to get here and vent my frustration lol.
