First off I want to point out that I just got the game and have no expansions.
My question is, is there any primary healing in the game, other than the one per turn health potion and the one health per turn that a few characters have?
We are baffled that there is no way to heal, as it seems that the overlord just kicks the players asses every game, even when we were playing it wrong and the players could drink multiple healing potions a turn, and they were spending about half of their money on potions.
For example, in our last game (a 2 player with the player playing two heroes, and using the 2 player overlord cards) first turn, as the overlord, I took one hero, that started with 16 health, down to 8, and the other hero, that started with 12 health, down to 4. If the player hadn't been able to drink multiple healing potions her second turn, I would have killed them both on my second turn, ending the game.
Maybe we are just missing something, but it seems like without healing, it will be hard for the overlord to lose.
