After playing 4 games (Winning the first in jan, losing one then winning the second of Feb and losing the first of March) I have to agree. We had a few bad shuffles and maybe we need to adapt our play style.
We won the last game of feb by the very end (there was only one card left to pick in the player deck so the last player had to win it), so our first in march we neglected the first few incidents and it really caught up to us.
Does anyone have a few strategies that work well for them? I'm thinking, since our last game we lost with half of the player deck remaining, you must focus on keeping no cities with 0 cubes on it? We let a few slide and mixed with bad luck the cards came out and 8 incidents just happened really quickly.
Still very much enjoying it though, I feel like it has much more elements of discovery and is more engrossing than the first one.

(I know I keep saying it on the thread, but just in case it's been missed, my comment is in the context of having finished the game, but NO spoilers in what I'm saying here. I'm deliberately holding things back. :devil:)
If you're running out of cards in the player deck, you're not reconning and/or connecting cities quickly enough. We never even got halfway through our player deck, not even in January. So that's my first tip. Recon and connect cities.
Second, I don't suggest a play style where you try to keep no city with zero cubes, mostly because that's going to be impossible. If you're struggling with regards to exposure, I highly, highly, highly recommend going out of your way to always end turns on havens. There's not much more I can say about exposure because reasons, so I'm gonna leave it at that.
