Can you take rewards from one campaign into the next? Would this make the game too easy? Can the overlord be given more monsters to compensate?

No, this couldn't work, for reasons that come apparent once you play the game, mostly the division of Act 1 and Act 2 stats. But worry not, this is not something actual players of Descent would like to do, as campaigns are pretty long and by that time people are eager to try a new class and character (and try to get new relics!)

I believe for balance sake you start over between campaigns. Each mission can be linked together but if you start the base game campaign you shouldn't carry xp or loot into another new campaign.

The game is intended for a game master and two or more players, but it can be played by only two people. Not the published adventures, at least not easily or without heavy modification.

That is not how the game is designed, but you could have a split personality to play multiple characters. It is not really a co-operative game, as the encounters involve only a single player in a location at a time. It plays fine with 2 players. Dave Boardgames4us

There are many quests (13 in this one), mix up your teams characters. This game has some random factors too. Every turn has an event cycle that feels a redundant but other than that it's good.

Technically yes, rules exist to play with just one character. As far as I can tell it's basically impossible to win if you do that. However, you can modify the game by playing multiple characters yourself which can be interesting though time consuming. The game is definitely best with more people though.

This is an expansion to the main game. There are all new House card for each family, and there are instruction for new starting positions for each families' armies. Also there are some minor rule adjustments. It's a little pricey, and it requires 6 players to play. However, if you have 6 players that enjoy the original, this is a worthy investment for the fresh approach to the game.

True. There is a small included adventure, but after that you are on your own. Although there are tons of resources online (message boards, recycling old movie plots etc) to get you going. And feel free to steal ideas from your players. For example when they talk worriedly about how they think someone will turn on them, jot that down if it's a good idea.

mehhh it all depends, i mean everything could go different the 2nd or third time but it can get repetitive, i'd say make up your own story and dungen using all the pieces which makes it more fun. I use this all the time when i do real DnD stories

Yes! Power up is great. Gives player powers, and bonuses rolling 3 hearts. Halloween expansion is only ok.

Ignore the "yes." I stupidly clicked the wrong button. I wouldn't recommend it. It's possible, but it's one more thing to juggle. You're already responsible for the rules and story, and while it's possible to play a player character as well, it's tough enough to run when you're new to gaming. If you're still interested in the game, I ran the scenario here fine with two players. A couple of encounters are probably best scaled down, but I believe the book tells you where to. If you have at east two other people, you can run this and learn the rules as you go. If you then decide you also wish to play a character, knock yourself out.

Yes, these were designed to be interchangeable. Of course, some quests require cave tiles or cards specific to one game or another. But monsters and heroes are easily interchangeable.

you can, but I do not recommend it. It can be dull and a very short game. Not only that but only a few people can play with just an expansion.

I haven't played all of it but my best friend did. Its probably one of the longer COD campaigns in history and pretty good - I recommend playing it on one of the hardest difficulty settings because then it'll last even longer and you'll have more fun (more difficult=youre forced to play more tactically and and you'll feel more accomplished when you complete a mission!)

The object is to get your character to level 10, you start at level 1. You gain a level by defeating monsters and by certain cards. While doing this, you also try to prevent your opponents from getting to level 10. Each turn you 'kick open the door'. This may show a monster which you must fight or another card which you get to keep. If you can not defeat the monster on your own, you may ask someone to help you. Usually you'll have to bribe them with some of the monster's treasure; they drop treasure when defeated. Your opponents can play cards to help the monster defeat you and you can play cards as well. Total the points, highest number wins. If you defeat the monster you go up a level and get the number of treasure cards listed. Treasures include weapons, armor, spells, free levels, all kind of neat stuff. It's a great game. Munchkin Deluxe is even better because it includes a scoring board. Not really needed but makes it easier. We even use the board when we play Munchkin Cthulhu with all the expansions. Hope this helps you.

It is worth it. I never played the multiplayer one bit. I only played the campaign and it was amazing. I have recently been thinking of getting it again to play thru again. but if your looking for an amazing campaign this game has it. I highly recommend it.

With multiple story cards in the base game there is a lot of replay ability here. I've played a few times through the intro story and have even played the single player story, enjoying the game each time. I do feel that, if played on a regular basis, with the same crew, you may find yourself losing some of your desire to play but that is where the expansions come in. You can grab the Breakin' Atmo expansion on the cheap and add 50 new cards to the decks for a change of pace or get the Pirates and Bounty Hunters expansion for some player v player action as well. I just purchased all of the expansions except the latest one and cannot wait to play. Keep Flyin' With multiple story cards in the base game there is a lot of replay ability here.
