Pandora's Box - the gateway DLC to get you off Talisman.

Just uninstalled Talisman. Can't take any more. What a frustrating, ridiculous piece of DLC. I need a long rest from this franchise - one that I've otherwise happily been playing on table top or Steam for years.

Just finished Pandora's Box. Took me a few retries, it forces you to play a bit differently, but I actually enjoyed it.

The tricky parts, for me, were in the last two chapters :

- Dealing with the forest fire. Just ignore it, play to shuffle your spell cards and as soon as you get one spell card that can change the terrain just head to the forest and cast it to the farthest tile.

- Dealing with the avalanche of Pandora cards. Keep on the defensive, just losing (and patiently replenishing) lives, and avoiding battles when you can, until you grow strong enough to defeat monsters. Focus on gathering coins in woods and spending them to heal lives until then. Losing lives doesn't matter if you keep re-gaining them.

It was just about playing these chapters in a different mindset than the others, it's a change of pace (slow down actually) and priorities (your "lives" are less valuable when you can heal them so easily).

All very fair! I did manage to crack the forest fires mission. I have no doubt I'll pick this DLC up again - just need a break!
