That's the piece that I'm concerned about, I had a ridiculous gun & and a spell that added 2-3 dice to the attack with all of the remnants (8-ish) Tommy had picked up from killing & warding. When they left (we were all in the same or adjacent spaces), I had each character trade me their non-signature possessions. By the time my fighters left, I had purchased a +5 Str Tommy Gun.

Norman can teleport, so once they left I jumped about the board and hunted down the Umôrdhoth mission set (I'll not mention the specifics until sometime after the game releases). We were playing the LCG & 1 of our number had to leave, so the 2 of us played our same characters (Norman & Jenny) and the other chose someone else (Yorick to Tommy). I'm going to try a solo game start to finish tonight, trying to see if this plays as well with 1. If anything, it was easier to manage with fewer players than the six player game we played Friday evening.Įxact same results. We played a game Sunday where the player count slowly dwindled as people drifted away to catch their flights. It does scale very well to low player counts. I find that while one investigator can best capture the Lovecraftian "doomed to fail but will go out trying", working with two still captures a large part of that feel, as in "we will still likely fail, but maybe against all odds one of us will make it out". So, bottom line, while FFG could incorporate rules to make a solo investigator to compensate for one investigator having to it all, because these are co-op the alternate is to just control more then one.

In a similar fashion, varying from one investigator up to five. Yes, information is shared that normally shouldn't, so this isn't "rules as written". (my current favorite game) I've played controlling both a single and two investigators, with a preference for controlling two. In this case there is the issue of hidden motives when people go insane I just house ruled to stick to the ones where the insane investigator isn't actively working against the others. (just didn't click for me), but when I was playing it I also controlled 4. To keep track of and ideally I'd go with fewer in particular 3 may be a better if I use either the official revised reference cards (or one of the community created alternatives). I tried with a variety of investigator counts (1, 2, and 4) and ultimately settled on 4. But my response has been simply to control more than one investigator. I also own all the games you list, except for Descent, and your points about difficulty for a single investigator are valid. Why can't we see somethng similar in the Arkham games?

They have a rule that says if you are playing two players, the hero player should control two heroes and get a free action that can only be spent on attacking. You loose that with solo play and nothing to compensate for it. Playing with two gators they can compensate each other. The game is still designed around each investigator being good at something and bad at something else. Maps are alot smaller so moving around the locations is not as tough solo, Enemy health is lower but if i can't get to them in time, how does that help? Getting around the map is tough with lower player counts. How am i supposed to handle a portal that spawn on the other side of the map? What about movement? You can't cover nearly as much ground as four gators, or two for that matter.

One investigator is almost impossible, you get one extra clue with the revised rules but that's it. I have noticed that for some reason, FF refuses to incorpare special rules for low player counts to compensate for the few amount of investigators. Getting big groups of people together is tough these days with everyone having kids, dogs, cats, jobs whatever. I play mainy solo and sometimes in a small group.
