Hand management games are games with cards in them that reward players for playing the cards in certain sequences or groups. The optimal sequence/grouping may vary, depending on board position, cards held and cards played by opponents. Managing your hand means gaining the most value out of available cards under given circumstances. Cards often have multiple uses in the game, further obfuscating an "optimal" sequence.

This adventure is a little bit paint-by-numbers at this point in terms of the board play, as it reuses many of the locations from Midnight Masks and has a fairly straight-forward basic set-up. It differentiates itself with the interesting triple Act deck set-up that allows players to thematically focus on what they think are the most important objective(s) which should lend it some replay value. While I enjoyed not having to deal with the irksome exploration deck for one adventure in this campaign, I can't say that this was out of this world great, but I did like the twist and enjoyed it enough. In terms of player cards: The pack has a pretty high number of standout cards. Counterspell is a pretty huge boost for Mystics as it can make passing a critical test much more likely. I also quite like Marksmanship for some adventures, as the ability to make the lower XP cost guns useful. Giving them a serious leg-up on hand weapons was badly needed and this is starting to make that a reality; this is also obviously also crazy with any of the big guns. With multiple players Stunning Blow is awesome as a 1-of to save for the final fight, as it can insure that the big bad is getting pummeled efficiently while still not damaging you for at least 2 rounds. Finally, Perseverance is a great way to save yourself from rough situations.

One of the best the game has to offer. Singlehandedly increases my desire to replay this entire campaign significantly.
