City of Horror - Tips & Strategies

We found a way to “break” the armory B side using the thief. Basically, he kept on getting energy drinks and stealing from others. With the back door and mama at the location, it was never really attacked (since it is Z attack when Z# > people there), and if it was, the players had all received amazing items and had it in their best interest to protect each other. Even with the “must move” element, the players were able to stay alive with their other characters because they were getting amazing cards at this location. So when playing this location, it is pretty important that everyone understands the power at the onset, and then possibly, the others will vote out the moving characters which would make them have to move from the armory.

However, I think that we will use a house rule for future games. The rule is when the armory is bombed (which is pretty easy on the “b” side) that the location’s action is no longer available. The characters are just stuck there, unable to leave. I think it makes sense, since a destroyed location would no longer be useful anyways, and this is what happens when the Armory A side, and Water Tower A, and B sides are destroyed.

Alternately, you could also make it that you need to exhaust the character to get a new character card (which is what it incorrectly says in the rule book.)
