While there are improvements in HoF2, there are also frustrations with it. First, Combat. I liked the idea of picking a card for what sort of difficulty you want in the game. It gives the players more control over their deck. That is gone. The mechanics of combat is more of the same from the first. Now, the two most frustrating thing about this game is card choice and the dice. I hate the dice rolls. They're not necessary. That's what a success or failure card was for. To continue, getting used to the card pick is impossible because you get three shuffles right off the bat at top speed. Enjoy that, hope you get the guardian angel blessing ;). The introduction of the camp was a nice idea. It gives you a chance to heal. Visit the shop and change appearance. The only thing I dislike about it is the availability of trade goods. It was exciting to find a shop when you had no food and AS FAR AS I KNOW, there are not shop cards. I'm going to try and finish this game. This is my first impressions. They are acceptable but I'm not blown away. So far I prefer the first.
