Tainted Grail

[Isgrimnur]

Finally cracked my upgrade box and got the cards and components for Fall of Avalon swapped out. A buddy of mine tried it a while back on the original run and kinda bounced off of it due to the difficulty. Haven't gone over the new Story mode options with him yet, but he tends to take defeat as a personal affront. We're going to have to have to lay some ground rules to determine how to handle inevitable failure so that we don't abandon it. Especially since I have the expansions and Kings of Ruin.

I suppose, push comes to shove, I can just run it solo and we can switch over to Gloomhaven.

The changes with this edition are great. I played the first scenario again recently with the upgrade kit and the new rules and it’s much more forgiving. But it still feels challenging enough.

It’s still an example of Awaken Realms concentrating more on originality than actual fun at times, but I feel that way about all their games. And it’s probably just me.

Looks like we will be restarting tomorrow evening.

I have purchased and tried to play every Awaken Realms game made; have not been able to get through a single one.

I did purchase Kings of Ruin (to bring this back on topic) based on the changes/updates/revisions and I'm hopeful that maybe I can finally figure it out.

I have played several Nemesis games. I own a few of the others, but I haven't even cracked them. My "group" has been locked into Gloomhaven for the last ~4 years. But we finally beat The Gloom and have put it away. So maybe one of these days...
