Pathfinder
I have been playing the rat snot out of the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game of late. I tend to run in jags over the ten months I’ve owned it. That largely has to do with the maintenance of the box of cards. Ideally you gather with a group of friends and play the game through without backtracking in the story or running multiple characters at different times. Ideally.
I’ve played nine of the eleven characters thus far in various combos of solo, duo and trio. Running a whole party would tickle me silly, but the logistics of physical card management make that a challenging notion. I’ve had the good fortune of running games of 4-6 people here and there, and the play suffers only a little lag depending on player experience and investment. But I digress, the biggest time sink for me comes from retooling the box to a state of play for newer characters. Sift all the cards out, and eventually shuffle them back in. Rinse and repeat as often as you like.
Plus, I’m a sleever. One card, one sleeve. Very simple. The plastic tray insert designed by Paizo is awesome, but it is designed to hold UNsleeved cards. A quick internet search revealed this very clean divider for the box. I struck out to accomplish something similar with that uber-versatile substance. Cardboard. An hour or two with a box cutter and voilà.
Sleeved card storage for the manic card shuffler.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I just finished a box three run with three characters, and I need to reshuffle the works for a new crew of adventurers.
