Played Regicide for the first time - Lemmy.world

Just played Regicide [https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/307002/regicide] for the first time. Damn. That game is vicious! A great cooperative game played using a standard deck of cards. My wife and I were able to win, but only by cheating like mad: Played with hands face up, and mostly ignoring hand size limit. I realize that’s cheating, but we’re learning it. Very fun, but hard. Kind of like Arkham Horror done with a standard deck. What strategies do you use when playing?
