The new Pathfinder Adventure Card Game core set arrived at the house yesterday. I broke it open and read the rules. The rule book has an excellent section for those of us who have played this game a bunch to highlight the new rules and some of the changed terminology.

Tonight I tried the starter adventure a few times with one character and it did not go well. These are some of the changes:

• Locations that have small, medium, and large deck settings that controls how many cards are at each location.
• Blessings have specific powers vs the generic give me an extra die on this roll.
• Cards have a numeric level value that maps roughly to the old basic or expert text

One thing I was hoping to change was the text size. The art is good and the boarders and colors are nice, but for a card game that is text heavy using a larger font would have been extremely helpful. I have had one friend say they will pass on the game due to the small text size.
