The Game is about finished the 2nd clue was found on the 4th Tile after 7 turns.
Of course now the posse has to fight 1 Night Terror,3 Stranglers,& 5 Hungry dead.

I messed around about 4 hours on this but more likely 2 of those were taking breaks
or checking the Rule Book. Oddly enough I never got a corridor tile but had a chance
to try out most of the Game Options.

The 5 stranglers held on for 3 Turns & beat up on the Ranger so she only has
4 Health left & used up her grit & the Revive Token to keep her going. So she might
not make it through the final fight.

I did find the Fan created $ & XP cards very useful over having to track them on paper.

In the end the Strangles KO Deliah right from the Get Go & Luis held out to finish off the
Hungary Dead but the Stranglers got him as well. The ensnare Ability is a killer & those
things could Roll 6's.

I'm going ahead & play through the Town Board to see how it works as I'll keep these
2 Heroes for future Campaigns. I'll try to finish up a Game Report by tomorrow.

Well the Town Board screwed me over as well but not too badly.
I enjoyed the Game I had to do a lot of Rule Checking (It would have been helpful
if the Rule Book was Indexed) but that was expected in a first Game.

I only made a few mistakes & I caught them right away so I could correct them
without disrupting the Game.

I need to play a bit more before hitting Otherworld Missions & using some of the
Advanced Rules. Previously on this Threat I outlined a back Story For A few Dark Stone More
with the Marshal & Indian Scout so I'm keeping my Card decks out so set up will be
quicker.
