Just bought Mysterium and both expansions as well. Have watched a few tutorials on setup and rules and feal fairly compentent as to how the games is played. Going to play it with my family this christmas for the first time. Would you recommend playing with ALL the cards (characters, locations and so on) in total on the first go?
Not sure what you mean by "all". You always use locations and characters and weapons or story cards regardless. I do however believe the story cards replace the weapons, but feel free to maybe start off with weapons and then move on to story cards and make your own judgement. I do recommend that unless you have very young people in the family that you start on Medium difficulty. The Easy mode is literally a cakewalk because of all the crows you get and at most should only be done as maybe your first ever game to get used to the mechanics.
Thanks for the input! I will for sure play on medium then. What I was wondering about was if I should play with all location cards, suspect cards, ghost cards etc. from all the games (both expansions and the original and shuffle them together), or if I should play with only the cards from the original and then add the other cards in once we experience getting the same ghost cards played for the same persons or locations. Regardsless of that, I think I will try with the story cards instead of the weapons, like you suggested :)
Tempted to make a replacement clock to give a few extra turns and then have both the story and the weapon.

Ahhh I see. Yes by all means shuffle them together. They don't add complexity or difficulty, just more variety.
Sweet! :) thanks for the nice video and taking the time to reply!
I LOVE Mysterium, do you happen to know if there’s going to be a third expansion with more story cards❓
Don't know but I feel they would still support the game.
