The -2 does make a big strategic difference to the leader now, and I don't think it's a choice Player 2 should take lightly. However taking the guess comes with a risk of -2 points and move further behind than just 7-0. I'm guessing that the scenario you are thinking is that Player1 goes out after 7 turns and now P2 has the option to guess the answer and at-least try to save the round score, whereas the other way round there is no choice, he's already out of the round. Take the rough with the smooth as with most games that have an element of luck to them. Certainly who goes 2nd more times is way down on the 'things to fix to make this more competitive game' list. The luck factor of the cards and placing your investigators and getting big hits also points to this game not being taken too seriously on a competitive level. You can of course play it 2 player if you like. I don't think the scoring system is very good however for 2 players, it makes much more sense to me with 3 and 4 players and I think that's potentially where it comes from, this game is designed primarily to be played multiplayer. I don't agree with the who goes first bias, everyone gets the same number of turns, you'll need to go deeper to prove that. Going first in a 2 player tournament sucks because you are at an immediate disadvantage.

I feel this would be very beneficial in tournaments especially. It eliminates the issue completely about who has to go first 2 times while the other only goes once. If still tied then go to investigators.Ģ: I would like to either be able to choose the number of rounds played in a game or force 2 player to be 2 or 4 rounds. And these only apply if a tie occurs at the end and the game calculates which of the winning players has more tie breaker points. Fifth gets 0 for the benefit of going last. So MAYBE first player is allocated 4 tie breaker points, then 2nd gets 3, 3rd gets 2, and fourth gets 1. If it were a five player game, then each round would give a bonus of some amount decreasing to the first four players each round. So, if you played 3 rounds in a two player game then the person who had to go first twice would win because they were at the disadvantage of going first. I would like to make 2 suggestions to make this game more balanced.ġ: Make the tie breaker related to playing position first and then go to investigators.
