To lower the difficulty slightly,
- For a slight difficulty decrease, give each Spirit one free Growth at the end of Setup. Then take your first turn, which will start with Growth.
- For a moderate decrease, skip the Explore that's normally at the end of Setup. Don't even reveal the Invader Card.
- For a large decrease, do both of the above.
Also worth noting: a few rules can cause sudden, crushing losses if played incorrectly. When Invaders Ravage for 2+ Damage, add only
one Blight to the Ravaged land. (
Not 1 per 2 Damage!) When you add Blight to a land with Blight and it cascades, you add an additional Blight to
one adjacent land. (
Not all of them!) You start with your four unique Power cards in hand. (You do
not have to gain them!) See also the
Rules semi-commonly misplayed.
But different people cue into some of the bread-and-butter techniques for fighting the Invaders at very different speeds.
