Does anybody have any strategies for season 2?
I play with 3 players and need a viable strategy. What characters should I play? What should I focus on? etc.
I would appreciate any pointers you could give me so I can finally win after many failed attempts.

My first 3 plays of Season 2 also ended in disasters! I had been hacking at the Vines in the Tunnels because face up tokens on those stacks can surely clobber the characters!
My last 3 plays have been 2 wins, and a loss (due to spending too much time getting items and allies). The strategy for the wins were both just simply Rescue Will early and often! I sent Joyce to Hopper's cabin immediately without an ally or item. Whoever could get there next showed up to help her both with Rescue Actions and by means of the Walkie Talkies boosts! Anyone left over did an all-in massive search on Main Street to get a single but powerful item to help at the Laboratory and get those stacks off the board one by one, allowing the other characters to use Danger actions without having to draw extra Scene penalties.
As soon as Will was Rescued, the group spent a very few turns calming down and gaining items and/or allies, then went into the Upside Down. If you are efficient, you can accomplish your victory prior to the desperation of Act 3! Suddenly the Season 2 game is now lots of fun!
And do remember, the number one rule in gaming is "If you are having fun, you are doing it right!" (Yes, I indeed had fun writing this post!)
Best Regards, and I hope you had a fun gaming spree during 2023! And had even more in 2024! And will keep gaming quite alive in 2025!
