We’re nearing the end of this story, or at least the first adventure out of the base box of the 2nd Edition of the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game. My luck, thus far, has been to play a scenario once and lose it. Then the next time around pull off a win. I’m tackling the fourth scenario, counting the introductory one, where I have always lost and then won. Will that happen again this time?

Pathfinder Adventure Card Game Mini Review

So, I like this game, I don’t know that I would put it in a category that I love the game. Some of that is because I think the game works best as a two player game, each player controlling one character. And I find this to be the case with a log of games that can be played solo. If I can directly help you a lot in a game, well, then it means playing solo you always need to know what everyone is doing.

Now, if you watched my play through of Sleeping Gods, you know that didn’t bother me there. But it does here, and I think it’s because that was always finding story, versus the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game being more bookended by story. So when you compare the amount you keep track of in both games, it seems like less work for Sleeping Gods. Or something like Aeon’s End solo is more enjoyable because there is less interaction or can be.

All of that said, I still do enjoy the game. I like the progression. I like figuring out how to make everything work. How do I pull of closing a location when I might not have the best skills to do that? How do I keep my characters alive long enough to get to everything. There are a lot of good decisions in the game. And I give it a solid B grade for me. I will do a full review or maybe a comparison review between 1st and 2nd Editions later.

Upcoming Streams

On Monday I am going to be sitting back, maybe unboxing a game, depends on what I have come in. And then chat about GenCon which will be coming up shortly. The GenCon chat will mainly be about what to expect at GenCon, if you haven’t been before. What events I’m going to, and what I enjoy or maybe enjoy less about GenCon in general.

On Wednesday there is going to be some game play. My plan is either to do Black Sonata, or play Final Girl. If you have a preference, let me know that in the comments below. Right now I am leaning towards Black Sonata just because there are more game plays of Final Girl out there already.

And then the following Monday, before I’m off to GenCon, I will be doing more GenCon coverage. A few more games might show up on the Board Game Geek preview after that Monday, but I hit the road on Wednesday so I can’t cover it then. It might be a longer stream going through all the games for sale or demo at GenCon, at least in theory. There most likely will be more.
