Two-handed campaign of Roland and Rex. Roland hits stuff for clues, and Rex does the investigating. The plan is to move fast.
Clearly, Rex is about investigating. That and running away:
Weaponry:
- Knife- 'cos sometimes a weapon might be useful? (Removed - Rex got lots of money, so I wonder if Physical Training might be more useful.)
- Magnifying Glass to help grab additional clues
- Newspaper- again, to help grab additional clues, and it combos nicely with Burglary too.
Assets:
- Rabbit's Foot as you're going to fail sometime. It has a good pip too.
- Hyperawareness and so we can boost any stat.
- Burglary to grab resources
- Scavenging to retieve the Rabbit's Foot and, in time, the Disc of Itzamna
Allies:
- Dr. Milan Christopher as he's brilliant, and will help on the 'grab additional clues' bit.
- Laboratory Assistant as Rex could draw quite a lot of cards, what with Search for the Truth.
Events:
- "I've got a plan!" to attack things.
- Shortcut to help run away.
Upgrades
- Pathfinder for the movement.
- x2 Disc of Itzamna for protection, and something to scavenge - and it has great pips for committing.
- Magnifying Glass is solid.
- Not sure, otherwise, to be honest.
History
2: After The House Always Wins
- Replaced Strange Solution with a second Disc of Itzamna
- Upgraded a Magnifying Glass
Started very quickly, but got caught fighting in the VIP room, and then as they went to rescue Peter Clover Roland drew Cover Up, forcing a withdrawal to the alley for some clues. Again, carried the curse a fair while.
1: After Extracurricular Activity
- Replaced Knife with Pathfinder
- Upgraded a Magnifying Glass
- Replaced Guts with the Disc of Itzamna
Rex got Dr. Milan Christopher out early, along with Burglary and Newspaper, and so was flush with resources for most of the game. Managed to use Burglary with +3 , to get 4 resources and a clue in a single action, twice. Did an impressive job of grabbing clues efficiently. Wasn't really threatened, damage-wise, and the only time he attacked it was with "I've got a plan!" or using Physical Training, so Knife doesn't seem so helpful. Carried Rex's Curse for several turns at the end - and kept passing!
