Detailed description
-
• Please copy/paste the error message you see on your screen, if applicable.
I recently participated in a game with a total of four players. Three of the players had an allegiance with the "undead" faction, while I was the only player without this allegiance. This situation made it nearly impossible for me to prevent the other players from meeting the win conditions for the "undead" faction. While I understand that an element of randomness and mystery is intended when distributing the leaders to players, I believe that fairness should also be taken into consideration to ensure an enjoyable experience for all.

- No
- There's always a chance that this problem occurs in a multiplayer setting
I see what you mean.
Randomness is a big part of the game and if you realize the undead can't win, you have to go all in with the second faction.
However, it might be possible to create an option for balanced factions. Although this would make it easier for players to guess each other's leaders.
I will ask the publisher about it.
