It seems that Curse of Aeon helps you to find for Sixth Sense, or Song of the Dead. However, this card is too hard to utilize with thoes cards. What's problem?

First, it's hard to succeed with + . In general, token has -1/-2 modifier at the beginning of the game, and -4 modifier at the end of the game, in standard difficulty. It means that you need to test with +4 or higher at the beginning, or +6 or higher at the end.

Second, the probability is too low. You could check the probability in my review of Blessing of Isis; the probability of triggering with 10 bag is about 14% if no additional ability is used. Olive significantly increases the probability of triggering. However, you should resolve ++"one additional token" if you trigger Olive. For Blessing of Isis, your + could nullify additional token, whereas Curse of Aeon doesn't.

Of course, there are some advantages of this card:

• Jim's is 0, so that he doesn't care about . His + = -2, and his Olive is just -2 + "one additional token".
• Curse of Aeon can cap your chaos bag with lots of token; check the other review.
• Curse of Aeon decreases probability. You can stop revealing tokens with 2 . It gives additional chance not to reveal if you can overcome +.

The best guns in the game, things like Lightning Gun or Flamethrower, cost huge amounts of experience and have limited uses. Extra Ammunition is essentially buying 3rd and 4th copies of those guns for only 1xp and 2 resources. Guardians have access to cards like Stick to the Plan and Prepared for the Worst to thin out their decks and search for these big guns fairly reliably, and that makes it a straightforward inclusion to add Extra Ammunition to these decks as well.

With only 6 shots of lightning gun, you have to worry about how you're going to deal with the rest of the enemies in the game. With 12, you're feeling a lot more comfortable. This shouldn't be the first card you buy in a Big Guns Guardian deck, but it absolutely should be one of the cards you buy.

Maybe this is not the worst card in the game. Maybe it is. Maybe it's genius. Selling your soul: 1xp per success is certainly in line with the ethos of this game. Tactically, you have to ask yourself: Are the benefits of this card worth 1XP per session? Maybe it is! Feels a little dirty doesn't it? That's Arkham.

Pro: It is a nice single use attack with sweet bonuses or around a 40% chance [depending on the size of your draw deck] to draw an ally - very tempting.

CON: It costs 1XP per success due to Exile.

EXILE - During campaign play, a card that has been exiled must be purchased again with experience points (between scenarios) if you wish to re-include it in your deck. If exiling 1 or more cards would reduce your deck below your investigator's deck size, when purchasing cards between scenarios, you must purchase cards so that a legal deck size is maintained (when purchasing cards in this manner, you may purchase level 0 cards for 0 experience cost until a legal deck size is reached).

Sorry, but I don't see one question: "Anytime you upgrade a card with the (Unidentified) or (Untranslated) subtitle, you may upgrade a second copy of that card at no experience cost. If you do, the two upgraded versions are chosen at random from among the eligible options. (You must still meet all deckbuilding restrictions.)" let's say I have 2 strange solutions. Do you need to have identified both strange solution before making the upgrade in order to be able to upgrade both, or does the second strange solution have not only 0 XP cost but also does not need to be identified?

--EDIT 2021-09-08: Writing information in the campaign log is

1. Effective for the whole campaign
2. Valid for all investigators taking part into the campaign. This means that:
   • Several investigator can upgrade the strange solution (or another), even if only one "Identify the solution"

--EDIT 2021-10-27: remved part about my false interpretation of XP spared by shrewd analysis

Review for the scenario, not the reference card. Spoilers ahead. I need to do some more research to get real numbers to back up feelings (or refute them).

I'm pretty sure this scenario is up there for my least favorite in all of the games I've played (everything but TIC and some side-stories as of writing). Having just played through this with two other players again, here's my attempt at trying to find out why.

1) This scenario is too damn long! Looking at the numbers, we have 4 + 6 + 8 + 8 = 26 turns on the agenda deck (although this will probably be less considering doom on Nahab). This feels long to me, but I haven't taken the time to compare it to other agenda lengths. Edit: A quick scan up through TDE puts 26 on the high end, most being 16-20 turns. On the act side, we have 3 (Act 1) + 1 (To unlock Gilman's Room) + 5 (Act 2) + a minimum of 2 (Act 3) = A minimum of 11 clues to run through the act deck. Again, I haven't had time to compare to other scenarios offhand, but this seems big when also taking into account the movement needed to traverse the witch house and the extradimensional spaces. Usually by the time I advance to Act 2 I am just exhausted by this scenario and wish it would end there. My investigator is usually feeling the same with the accumulated damage/horror from the whole thing.

2) The encounter deck feels heavily weighted towards . I feel like the game taunts you with all of the hexes having the discard ability if there's an exhausted witch at the location because there's exactly 1 witch enemy, she doesn't show up until Agenda 3, and you'd much rather get her off the board than exhaust her (at least before Act 3) in order to keep doom in check. Each hex is a (3), which can be quite prohibitive for some investigators. Hope your has some buddies! The consequences of not getting rid of them range from fairly mild (like Wracked) to fairly debilitating (playing a or and drawing Bedeviled).

3) The enemies. We've got 3 rats and a Brown Jenkin to start, with Nahab to follow later. Everything is fine and dandy until the agenda starts ticking up and you suddenly have ROUS (Rodents of Unusual Size) with 2, 3, 4, and finally 5 health. The rats are tanky! To be fair, they hit for just 1 damage, but given the scenario length, it adds up. I'm not sure what to make of Brown Jenkin. Do you take the time to kill him? On the one hand, he doesn't actively do anything, just make you cycle through your deck faster and boost his friends with +2 fight. On the other, he'll make sure you draw your weaknesses pretty quickly, and he's worth clues and experience. That said, nothing feels worse than taking the 2-3 actions to engage and kill the familiar just to have him come right back with Meddlesome Familiar. Similarly, defeating Nahab and immediately drawing Ghostly Presence feels terrible. The duo also come back regardless when you advance the agenda and act decks. Maybe you're expected to consistently evade Nahab?

4) This scenario feels like it was designed for investigators to lose in act 3. If you don't have a consistent means of evading Nahab, you're stuck tanking damage while trying to kill her decently sized health pool. For each turn you leave her up, that's another 1 clues you need to grab (likely off the 4 shroud Site of the Sacrifice). All the time, Jenkin is making sure you draw your weaknesses. Oh, I hope you didn't draw Pulled by the Stars!

5) Special mentions.

Strange Geometry: For some investigators, e.g. your dedicated fighter, this often effectively reads "You cannot move this turn. Take 1 damage and 1 horror." Rough.

Ghostly Presence: I had a bit of a perfect storm hit here which I feel the need to share. Obviously, this isn't typical so take it with a grain of salt. We had all 3 investigators at the same extradimensional location. Our encounter deck was low (~4-5 cards) and we just advanced to Agenda 3. And so we get the following events:

• Agenda advances to 3, Nahab spawns in her room.
• Encounter draw 1: Ghostly presence. Nahab moves to the location with all investigators. Everyone takes 1 damage and 2 horror.
• Encounter draw 2: Ghostly presence. Everyone takes 1 damage and 2 horror.

• Survive solely due to Tetsuo, cry a little on the inside while the digs for answers.

  All this to say, I'm hoping for some serious revisions in the "Return To" version.
