How much shuffling is there in Arkham Horror LCG? (New player, just finished my first scenario)
Hi guys! I just finished my first ever Arkham Horror LCG scenario, “Spreading Flames,” from the new Chapter Two Core Set.
I had a really great time playing Trish Scarborough true solo on Standard difficulty and I’m already looking forward to upgrading my deck and playing the next scenario!
One thing really surprised me tho: during the entire scenario, I didn’t have to shuffle my player deck even once.
Before starting, I bought some good sleeves (Dragon Shield Standard) because I was expecting quite a lot of shuffling. I play Marvel Champions often and there I tend to shuffle my deck pretty frequently due to card and hero effects, so I assumed Arkham Horror would be similar.
Is the lack of shuffling mainly because this is an introductory scenario and I’m using introductory cards? or is frequent shuffling simply less common in Arkham Horror in general?
I’m asking because I’m wondering how necessary good quality sleeves really are for the player deck.
Should I expect more effects that require shuffling as I get further into the game and start building more advanced decks?
Anyway, I had a great time with my first scenario and I’m looking forward to seeing what comes next. Cheers!
