I have just gotten the Heirs of Numenor set and have pushed through the first two quests successfully. I am playing with my two brothers, so that adds a bit more challenge, but we beat them both after 3-4 tries. I have through stewards fear in quests sans watchers and foundations and also all saga through black riders. Does anyone know whether it's possible to beat Cair Andros 3 player or whether only in single and double. We are using a dwarf deck with dain, nori and ori, an outlands with herluin, elrond and theodred and a tactics boromir deck with Beregond, elenor for all the treacheries and the son of the steward himself. any changes in heroes or focus's or is it just impossible to beat 3 player?

Thx,

It's definitely possible. That said, I had 4 wins from 4 attempts in solo and two player, then tried it 3p and took 4 attempts to get a single win.

You have to be aware of the killer nature of certain cards - Master's Malice you need to either cancel or be mono-sphere, Power of Mordor can be horrible and if it comes up too early may even be cause for an immediate restart because it can shuffle away the Battlegrounds and screw up your strategy for the whole quest. There's enough Doomed in the encounter deck for threat to be a concern, and obviously some of the enemies are horrible.

Honestly though, I found the best way to figure out what to be ready for was just playing it and seeing what killed me.

Sorry for hijacking this thread but as I read "The Power of Mordor".. That card will also be in the deck when playing Assault on Osgiliath. Basically, you have won when there are no locations left in the game. So, when you reveal that card, you take absolutely each and every card in the staging area and replace it with new cards, right?! Mostly, if there are not many cards in the staging area the chances are high that you do not draw new locations. ..then you have won on a shortcut, which feels like a pale victory to me. Am I missing something?

yes, that is a way to win. However in practice I've never seen it happen. If it does happen, chances are you claimed a lot of Osgiliath locations already, or the odds of not revealing more Osgiliath locations are pretty slim. If that happens, rejoice in vicotry!
