The other world adventures are the key to fast elder sign acquisition, and Gloria owns them all, since she gets the full load of glyphs when she's gallivating among the dimensions. That makes her the perfect choice to go looking for the adventures that open other worlds.

Kate's terror/monster immunity means she totally owns terror adventures, and monsters can't appear whether she fails or not. Harvey and Michael's respective 'swap out the terror glyph' abilities are really butch, and let them deal with lore-heavy (or peril-heavy) adventures with little item assistance. The most important thing about the lot of them is that their abilities aren't item-dependent, and that can turn a game that's going badly into a squeaked-out win.

Harvey Walters, Michael McGlen, Kate Winthrop, and Gloria Goldberg. The super-team, as I've trial-and-errored to learn, is: The one exception is elder signs - I've won a couple of games by buying the last elder sign or two. Don't waste time buying/hoarding items, only heal when you have to. The game moves very quickly, and if you get behind the doom count it gets difficult to catch up. Monsters aren't always bad - sometimes a monster can make an adventure easier by covering a more complex task. I've discarded so I could focus (reserve) a special glyph that I need for later. One trick I've found useful - you don't have to complete a task just because you have the glyphs to do so.

Darrell Simmons has had some success for me, mainly clearing out.

Game, and they tend to have elder signs to win. More useful since there are more other world locations at the end

Gloria Goldberg and Jenny Barnes are a toss-up: Gloria is a touch.

Terror effects tend to be easier to accomplish.

My key exception is Kate Winthrop: her ability to ignore terrorĮffects is powerful, especially considering that adventures with.

Mandy Thompson is a close second, since her ability doesn't depend on.

More dice is always better, so my recommended investigators (in order): Just to add to the good advice already given: I used some/all of these tips and I was finally able to win a couple games. A nice synergy in the game and makes getting past some of those tough adventures a little bit easier. Instead of focusing one dice, you'll be able to focus two. I'm going to try with less than four to see if that dynamic will change.Īssist is a great feature that works if you fail an adventure and then have a second investigator come in. With four investigators, you only get two turns per investigator per day. Red dice is like the Yellow dice but replaces Investigation ×1 with the Wild token - lovely, lovely wild.Ĭashing in trophies tokens at the Entrance seems to be a waste if you are using four investigators - especially if you have the adventure that is hitting you for 2 trophies every midnight. Yellow dice replaces Terror with an Investigation ×4. Be sure to Focus according to the odds and the needs of the adventure. Each green dice has the following sides - Investigation ×1, Investigation ×2, Investigation ×3, Lore, Peril, Terror. This allows you to use the dice that are available when you have them and not in the order the adventure dictates.

Target adventures that don't have sequential phases with investigators that don't have reroll abilities. Added dice is nice but the reroll is fabulous.

The footprint token that allows you to reroll glyphs is priceless. My two guys were slouchs at first but when I started picking my adventures a bit wiser they ended up coming on strong. These are easier to roll and succeed at and in turn provide you additional items and rewards that can be used to overcome some of the more difficult adventures down the turn.ĭon't write off an investigator. Sure, you are still at the whim of the dice, but target some of the easier ones - specifically with the investigation tokens. There are easier/less difficult adventures. I went ahead and asked the creators of Elder Sign: Omens and here's some responses from them and other members of their message board:
