Planning how to spend these resources after selecting my card was my favorite part of the game. This drives tactical thinking, as the card you choose may end up altering your original plans.Ĭards are used to generate resources for your character actions, from movement to combat to money (water) to buy upgrades or item cards in San Andreas.

Because Improvise is the first phase of the round, that card will be available immediately. Another change from a “traditional” deckbuilder is that the card you choose goes directly into your hand, not into your discard pile. Instead of purchasing cards to build your deck, you draw two cards and keep one. I enjoyed the Improvise phase of the game. Because of these two factors, I was looking forward to playing this game. I am also fond of The Few and Cursed comic. I love deckbuilding, especially when it is incorporated as part of a broader game design, such as Tyrants of the Underdark or Trains. If that monster gets to San Andreas, it is game over. After game end Grit points are calculated, the player with the most Grit is the winner. The game ends after either a) three of the four monsters have been defeated, b) all Artifact tokens have been recovered or c) a monster reaches San Andreas. Cleanup Phase – discard cards and draw your hand for the next round, move monsters and pass the 1st player token.Action Phase – take one of several actions while playing cards to generate resources.Encounter – draw an encounter if outside San Andreas otherwise shop or visit the job board.Improvise – draw two cards, add one to your hand and discard the other.This looks like a move and fight turn to me!Ī game lasts a random number of rounds, with each round consisting of four phases (each phase is completed by all players before moving on to the next one): The Few and Cursed supports one to four players, with games lasting between one to three hours, depending on player count and analysis paralysis.
#The few and cursed comic series
The Few and Cursed is a deck building/adventure game set in a post-apocalyptic Western-themed world based on the comic series that shares the same name. “Why do I bother?” I muttered, mostly to myself, as I walked away. Then, after spitting in the spittoon again, simply stated “It is Tuesday.” I wanted to leave… I SHOULD have just left, but I just couldn’t. He handed me The Few and Cursed and then randomly spit into a spittoon. Go ahead and pick your favorite cowboy show. Would you kindly review this?” drawled Tony, dressed like he was in Tombstone.
