I know a lot of people are finding this season very easy, but my group is starting to legitimately despair over how difficult of a time we are having. We just lost early September, the third in a row.What are some tips people have for up to September or so?

We’re up to March, so far our record was one shotting January, followed by 3 brutal losses in feb and early March.

We found that with 3 of each city in the deck, the variance of the infection draw was utterly brutal. Multiple times we drew the third city card off the bottom of the deck, having loaded the city up as it had been drawn twice, and flipped it once or even twice off the top on the infection draw. All of our losses were to an 8th plague cube.

After we were ready to chuck the game in the bin, until in our second game in March....

We found our way to box 6, and suddenly the game became a cakewalk, we grandstanded - delaying our victory by a whole round in order to explore South America before comfortably winning.

After finding box 6 we were immediately able to run around the board trashing all the hideous things in the infection deck - the ability just seems so strong!

We’re all highly suspicious that our aggressive bundling of infection cards in to box 6 is going to come back and bite us big time, but we felt we had to take what's in front of us.

We’ve pretty much reduced the deck to 1 of each city now, which leaves us feeling much more comfortable about stockpiling out of the way cities!
