Yeaaaah... Playing the game without knowing the rules well... Seems... Um... Well :') I'm not going to express my opinion of it, but let's just say it's a negative one.

I've played the game well over 200+ times and in my last game I had to refresh my memory on Jail time, since its happens so seldom. I knew right where it was. A new horror master might not.
Yeah, I've played a lot and I still look up Jail every time it happens. I always forget exactly what you loose (I remember that you loose a turn).
It's all your money.... right

I ALWAYS play 2 players each playing 2 investigators. The sweet spot in this game is 4 investigators. Anymore then you are dealing with more spawns, etc... Any less then you dont really get enough done in a turn to control everything. I also find that having 2 investigators tro control is alot more fun than only running one.
I also play base plus one small and one large expansion (mostly...mostly).

I think I found another sweet spot in my last game with two expansion boards and five players. In this case, you still don't have extra spawns, but enough is going on to need that extra person, so it was well balanced.
We tend to get killed if we do two boards and 2-3 people.

My cult and I are pretty devoted to 3-5 Investigators. Two-player games get 2 Investigators each (or I get 2 and my Initiate gets 1), and when I solo, I play with 3 or 4. For the most part, we are also devoted to "Only 1 Board Expansion and 1 Card Expansion", with a few exceptions, like playing a new Card Expansion with the Base Game only, with the "starring" Ancient One and Herald.
That said, we mix almost all the smaller Investigator cards from all Expansions for every game; even if playing without Dunwich, we would never dare leave behind the Madness/Injury deck. Only the larger Ancient One cards (Encounters and Mythos) are Base + Board Exp + Card Exp. With a few exceptions: no Dark Pharaoh, except for Allies, the Arkham Encounter cards that name those specific Allies, the 3 Dual Color Gate Encounter cards, and a few Spells (2 Feeding the Mind, 2 Markings of Isis, 1 Astral Travel, 1 Premonition). Merits or demerits of that expansion aside, my cult just doesn't like to play with it, so we don't.

I normally play with *all* the expansions (although I haven't added in Black Goat yet). I like to (okay, do) solo with 3 investigators normally. With other players I'm willing to do up to 4 player games. I get really annoyed if there are more people than that though. I think if another occasion like that comes up, I'm going to do my best to Join The Winning Team ;'D heh, that'd serve the newbie bastards right.
