Blood In the Forest

[ATOEtalGeek]

We played our first game of Blood in the Forest last night and had a lot of fun. We played with just the base deck and added in the BF decks so we could get a good flavor of the cards - so it wouldn't be watered down so to speak.

We had two players playing two Heroes each and one Zombie player. We rolled a 3 on the scenario card which is Distress Call - meaning we have to find two Townsfolk survivors and get them back to the plane with at least two Heroes there to win.

The scenario special rules on the scenario card indicated Feral Dead (infinity) - so no limit on re-spawning them.

We stumbled briefly on whether or not that meant no Behemoths. We reasoned that since the two other scenario cards specifically call out the Behemoth that he would not be included where not specifically called out. The Zombie player grumbled a little feeling that both types of Champions should be included in all BF scenarios. Anyway, we played with no Behemoth, I think, correctly.

With the sun track at 3 the Heroes won on a clever string of card play. The Hero with the second Survivor needed to make it to the plane to win. He rolled enough to get there but was hit with a Trip card, forcing him to re-roll. On his re-roll he did not have enough to get there. Another player played a "Ruuuuuuun!" on him. On his third attempt he was clear and made it to the plane for the win. The plane took off, mowing down Zombies - and barely cleared the Gas Station (which would have been horrific to hit) on take-off as the sun was going down.

It was a good kick-off of Blood in the Forest. We can't wait to take on the Behemoth now.
