I played with a group of people the other night (this being my first time) and I found that the co-op mode for this game is ridiculously tough. We lost both of our games with little going for us. However now that I have read the rules I not sure if we played it right. At the beginning of a players turn they would reveal an event card, if it was not an instant then all players did there buys and then the party determined which player was going to fight the enemy while the rest of the players that didn't fight an enemy could get cities. (after reading the rules I couldn't find any mention of that). Doesn't it supposed to play like the other modes where each player does there player actions followed by revealing an event?
The rules mention there stages in this mode but I don't understand what that means. (I was not the person running the game and it was already alot to take in).
As for the enemies some of them had text that said if this enemy is not attacked then it deals damage to your home (life points) but I don't recall all of them having negative effects if a player didn't attack them. In this mode can all players choose not to attack one or more of the enemies in play. (Maybe I am I completely lost and have no idea what I saying).
