Jenny Barnes - FFG Starter Deck

Based on: Starter Decklists, V.4.0 May, 2018 - The Forgotten Age Edition

Jenny is the quintessential jack-of-all-trades, with a value of 3 in each skill and a steady influx of resources to help you pay for any cards you want. She is a great solo investigator, but is also very good at shoring up an investigation team’s weaknesses by providing whatever is needed at any given moment.

Jenny has the tools to handle pretty much every aspect of the game. Because you get extra resources every round, building a heavy board state with numerous assets is a viable strategy. You can also collect a bank of resources and spend them with Hard Knocks, which will help tremendously in dealing with enemies, either by defeating them or evading them.

If you find yourself overflowing with resources, play Jenny’s Twin .45s and pile on as much ammo as you want—the more, the better. Finally, if you are playing with other investigators, you can also share the wealth using Teamwork. You might also play an expensive asset and pass it to another investigator using Teamwork!

While Jenny is adept at many aspects of the game, her greatest downfall is that she is not a specialist. You will have to depend on your assets and skills when you need to succeed at high-difficulty tests.

If you find a sign of your sister Isabelle, you might find yourself compelled to drop everything you’re doing and begin Searching for Izzie. While this is often the correct choice, Jenny has a decent amount of sanity, so don’t be afraid to abandon this task should it prove too difficult.
