Locations not to scale

[La1cajun]

Hi guys, just want to know why there are always 2 more locations than the amount of toons in your party. The real rules are 1 more location than amount of people playing. So 3 characters you would put out 4 locations. All of them in the game for iOS is 2 more locations than characters . This makes the game really hard and I think messes up the balance. Is it supposed to be that way or do they need to fix it. Thanks.

It's supposed to be 2 more than the number of characters, that's how it was in the physical game.

Hey there.

 

Which 'real rules, are you referencing?

 

From the latest rule book available on Paizo.com:

 

Set Out the Locations. The back of a scenario card lists the locations the scenario uses; a required number of players is listed next to each location. Use all of the location cards listed up to the number of players you have. For example, if you have 3 players, you'll use all of the location cards listed for 1, 2, and 3 players, but you won't use any of the location cards listed for 4, 5, or 6 players. Put the location cards you're using faceup in the middle of the table.

 

There are some scenarios that have a 1 for 1 ratio of locations to characters, but the majority are number of characters +2.

 

Thanks

Dunesparrow and Brainwave are correct! But I could see how you might get confused. There's a lot to take in when you play the physical game. I know it took me over a year to figure out that you can play Cure or Augury off-turn.

I've played through RotR and currently playing Skulls and Shackles and I just noticed tonight that I was able to use those spells off-turn!

It took you a year, and they made you producer?

I guess it's true what they say about producers.
