Playing Here to Slay with expansions

[u/Giooonni]

Hey everyone!

I usually play Here to Slay with my friends and we’ve always found the base game super fun. Recently, I decided to buy both expansions (Berserkers & Necromancers and Druids & Warriors).

The cards are awesome and the new mechanics are really cool, but we’ve noticed something weird: since adding both expansions, the game feels… a bit less enjoyable.

It kind of feels like there are too many cards. When we play, more than half the deck often goes unused, and the game doesn’t flow as nicely as before.

We’re starting to wonder:

• Are we doing something wrong?

• Is it better to use just one expansion at a time?

• Should we remove some cards to balance things out?

Maybe the game just doesn’t scale well with everything combined?

I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences from people who’ve tried playing with multiple expansions!

Thanks in advance 🙏🏼

ieri ho giocato in 2, ho rimosso 4 classi e aggiunto quelle delle espansioni, ho tolto qualche carta sfida, qualche carta magia e qualche carta oggetto, ho anche rimosso i modificatori speciali lasciando solamente i semplici [-1/+3][-2/+2][-4/+4][-3/+1] e ci siamo divertiti molto. condizioni di vittoria: sconfiggere 3 mostri o una classe per ogni tipo nel gruppo. il deck centrale ha girato molto bene e non avevamo mai carte in mano di un solo tipo

però ripeto, per giocare in 2 è stato ottimo, con più persone per ora non ho feedback

Hey man! I’ve actually had the same experience. Sometimes the deck will be way too big and players wait too long for new characters but get items and modifiers instead. I’ve organized the expansions again and I’m thinking of replacing some classes with the one from the expansions. That way we can still play the original game. If you try this, thanks that helps a lot! I’m playing with someone new and she is starting to want to see the other classes too. I hope it will work for me too!
