On Tuesday we had an excellent showing of folks coming out to game. 9 total players, which is something we haven't seen for some time. Guess with it being the 'Dead of Winter', it provided a good opportunity.
With Scott & Gaston continuing their Commands & Colours epic 'play it all' off to the side, we were lucky enough to have Craig & myself bring out our copies of the game. We just had 2 many players for a single running (this is a good problem to have at a club!) Craig ran Colin & Chen with him, whilst I had Anne, Evan & Kurt join me.
We were playing the Raid scenario, where we needed to clear out 2 locations of cards in order to secure a victory.
A very auspicious start as Anne had both of her folks get bitten while travelling to the Gas Station...don't think we had anyone else go to that doomed location afterwards.
With our Crisis cards, we were generally able to complete them & not suffer the ill effects.
The folks at the compound start hearing the banging on the doors. The bonus skills of each of the survivors began to tell. One of mine was able to add a barricade every turn without spending an action.
It was all going so well until.....with Anne being the last player in the turn, we were sitting at 10 cards in the waste pile. She returned to the compound, got bitten & spread it. My cook was infected, but with a roll of the die, stopped the spread. However it was too late.
With no-one able to clean the waste we dropped our last morale & lost the game.
It was a good game with several at the table never having played. They realise quickly how dark & unforgiving this game can be...which is what makes it such a great game! Thanks everyone for coming out!
