Does anyone else have a real problem with resource management? Not to mention fast mounting threat? I want (and am trying real hard) to love... hell I’ll take LIKE... this game! But with things like not being able to use certain abilities (Ranged, sentinel, etc.,) solo,(I’m sorry but not letting Legolas use his bow in a solo game is just dickish) many turns between player card play, an arbitrary threat total, (the only difference between 50 and say... 60 threat points is being that much more, again, dickish on behalf of the designer.) I can’t help but feel this game is just unbalanced. Do any of you play house rules to offset these and more things?
So...I take it you're trying to play the first quest and that you're using the Tactics pre-made deck. Yeah...that's a recipe for disaster.
Tactics is really a support deck because it doesn't have the willpower. Try the Spirit deck instead. When you can win with that, then try the Leadership deck. When you win there, try the Lore deck. They each play very differently, but can beat the first quest. Don't forget to add 3 Gandalfs to each of those decks.
When you've beaten the first quest with each of the other spheres, then try it with a dual-sphere deck. Use 2 heroes from any one of the other spheres and 1 Tactics hero. Use all of the cards from the 2-hero sphere, 3 Gandalfs and the cheapest Tactics cards available until you have a total of 50 cards in your deck.
Then you'll have a really good idea of how to play the game.
But to answer your original questions:
- No, resource management is not a problem
- Fast mounting threat is not a problem if you understand what causes it and what prevents it.
Good luck!
