Well, after more than 6 months Mice and Mystics is finally coming to the table. I kept trying to get my family interested, but they'll have none of it. This weekend I decided to play it solo. Put on the mp3 of Rich Sommer reading the prologue while I set up, and played through chapter 1.
Finished it fairly easily with Colin, Nez, Maginos, and Filch. Wrote down my groups' abilities, and the one Search card to which they were entitled, and cleaned it up.
The next day I set up again to play chapter 2 with Colin, Nez, Tilda, and Lily. Got crushed several times due to bad luck with the crow, and spiders and centipedes surging on the final tile. Then I realized I hadn't chosen starting abilities for Lily or Tilda. Then I realized the final tile had a special surge of Rat Warrior. Then I realized that Tilda can use First Aid for only 1 cheese. Then I did better and finished the chapter successfully.
This is definitely another great game from Plaid Hat Games! I think I'm going to get City of Remnants, even though I haven't played it yet. I have confidence in PHG.
Now I've got to finish my grading so I can play another chapter...
