The Dread Gazebo

When laying tiles in Level 7 and choosing which doorways to connect, don’t forget to also pay attention to any vent ducts and where they connect. They are often the fastest route to safety or escape, sometimes they are the only option once lockdown begins. Just beware of your fear levels and if the scenario uses the alien spawn zone or you might find yourself getting probed!

Are you playing a subjec with high INT stats? Remember that clones can’t go through locked doors and hacking doors is easy if you have a good INT roll. Make them sniff out the other players and leave you the **** alone!

A lot of games break up move/shoot phases to where you can do one before the other but once one is done you can’t do it again. One of the great bits about Tannhauser is the ability to pop around a corner, fire off a few rounds and then duck back into cover. Use this to your advantage as much as possible!

Often you might opt to take a resource that you need in order to get that next quest knocked out, but don’t underestimate taking a place in Waterdeep Harbor early in the round to play intrigue cards. Not only can they give you a nice upper hand and provide opportunities to screw over your opponents but then you also begin the race toward the limited number of slots in the harbor, which can occupy your opponents and leave you to take those resources you wanted to snag in the beginning at the end of the round anyway!

On scenarios when ‘peeking’ is a focus, if you’re trying to get out alive together be sure to STAY TOGETHER! Having a player uncover the escape tile when they are distant from everyone else usually makes for some agonizing deaths once lockdown starts.

Then again, this could be an inverse strategy for the player who wants to screw everyone else over in the end 😉
