Blood In the Forest

[Wordsmith08]

I got my copy a couple days ago and have already crammed in a couple games. I have to say, I *really* love the Lost in the Woods scenario - it's a very evocative concept (and I like taking the setting out of a town for some variety), plus the differently-shaped board, plus the forest squares, really changes the feel and dynamic of the game. It was a lot of fun, and the other scenarios look pretty promising too.

I really liked Carter, and partnering him with another character on the Tower Relay created a great super-searching combo that filled my hand with useful events (which has NEVER happened before!). Didn't get to see much play with Ophelia, unfortunately, but she looks like a great character!

Unfortunately, I haven't had much experience with the zombie champions yet (starting with a boatload of starting zombies really hinders the ability to get them into play with the Spawn tokens!), but as a Hero player, the threat of them had me quaking in my proverbial boots!

It's my first LNoE expansion thus far (I started with Timber Peak, so I guess I'm a bit of a newbie!), and it seems to gel so well. I'm sure it will only continue to be more awesome with time!
