Great review! As a solo player I am very dissapointed with the new standard & expert sets. The scenario looks very flawed too. I dont know how much I care about the modular sets... I'm not sure if I'll get this one. Seems like I would only use the modular sets and I don't know if that would justify a purchase.
Great review. The standard I set also has some cards that scale poorly, e.g. the villain schemes (sometimes deadly against Rhino). Are these less problematic?
Not really, Advance has always been rough solo due to the scaling, that's what makes dark dealings worse because it's the same but with +1 scheme. Unfortunately, as much as I love the game, it was built with scaling issues from the ground up. But my big gripe with packs like The Hood is they aren't making any attempt to address or even mitigate it.
@@GideonsGaming I am still loving it. Btw. I tried your balance fix for the 4-handsize guys. Since then, playing with them is so much more fun. Thank you this simple adjustment. I would recommend it to everybody.
@@Pfingstei I'm glad you like it and I really appreciate you watching the videos and commenting. I'm really happy people have gotten value out of such simple adjustments and it definitely motivates me to try and make a few more!
@@GideonsGaming Your fix recommendations were the simplest (no extra card prints etc) and best ones (they just work) I found. I am looking forward to fixes for GMW. I preordered the German version to play it with my son :-).

you can be a solo player and control multiple heroes. They added these new expert because the original one was easy at higher player counts

Unfortunately it’s not released here in the UK
I've seen the hood for sale.
