Currently I have all the adventure cards from all the expansions compiled. But the latest expansion, Blood Moon, has got me thinking. Normally it didn't matter if I combined them all, but with the addition of the Lunar Events I feel there might be a problem. Since lunar events are very powerful, both good and bad, the catch is that they are supposed to rotate. Albeit not extremely frequently, but with the amount of adventure cards I have it is not an unlikely scenario for one to be on the board for most of a game. This seems kind of ridiculous. The last game we played we pulled 2 day time lunar events, the one where you can take another turn after you defeat an enemy, and the one where you can move up to the result of your movement die. These being around for a good portion of the game made it ridiculous. Now I understand all players received the effect so no one was unbalanced, but it changed the flow of the game quite a bit.

So my question is, do you guys normally play with all the adventure from the expansions mixed? or do you pick and choose per game?

And yes this does not include mountain trail and other expansion specific cards.

Lunar Events only stick around until the next day / night change, which switches every time a plain old Event Card is drawn (not just Lunar Events).

With all the Event Cards in the deck, you should be changing between day & night quite regularly.

Lunar Event effects shouldn't last for that long.

+1. Or like I said over on BGG:

"Yes, one of things that impressed me was how FFG had overcome the dilution-problem you tend to see when adding multiple expansion (see: Arkham Horror). By keying off any Event, which are found in all decks (not sure about the %s though), you get the Day/Night changes no matter what setup you're running. Lunar Events are of course less rare, but since they stick around, you can have them in play for 10+ rounds."
