Everything added ?

By alboy, in General Discussion

When you play with most expansions added do you use Cities of Ruin most of the time or is this one used only occasionally?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by 'occasionally'.

Do you mean how often the Disasters and devastated cities appear?

If so, you'll occasionally see a Mythos card that causes a Disaster even in a game when you're not playing against Shudde M'ell, the AO from Cities in Ruin. It happens so rarely that you can leave the Disaster and Devastation decks in the game box most of the time.

If your only expansion is Cities in Ruin, you'd probably see Disasters more often because you don't have as many other Mythos cards to dilute them.

But you can mix all the CoR cards in with your other expansions with no problems, just like most things in the other small and big boxes.

Or, if you mean how often you play against Shudde M'ell... I guess everyone will have their own preferences as to how often you play him/her/it. It's a fun AO, if that helps.

We use the apocalypse nigh and fall of man preludes together every time for a brutal combination. Both of them cause disasters in non-Shudde'mell games. Shudde'mell is one of our favorite ancient ones. Disasters may be one of the best things they have added to the game. It's crazy having a disaster kill one of your investigators on round 2. It's the best small box expansion IMO.

Oh yeah, I forgot about the Prelude card/s that cause Disasters. I don't use Preludes much, so...

I totally agree that Disasters are great, though. So much fun.
