Jumanji: Dissection

Introduction and Spoiler Warning

This is a full, in depth-guide to Jumanji, a custom Arkham Horror Card Game campaign by The Beard. This article discusses potential XP, story paths, secrets, and FULL SPOILERS, so be warned!

Experience

Available XP per scenario:

Scenario 1: Home Invasion: 8 (locations) + 2 (Ferocious Lion) + 2 (Giant Sundew, in the encounter deck) = 12 XP
Scenario 2: Urban Jungle: 9 (locations) + 2 (Berserk Civilians, in the encounter deck) + 2 (Carniverous Tangle) +1 (Carl Bentley, if the Berserk Tangle is defeated before Agenda 3) = 14 XP
Scenario 3: Game Night: 8 (locations) + 1 (Coiling Growth) +2 (Ferocious Lion) +1 (Thieving Monkeys) +2 (Van Pelt) = 14 XP
Scenario 4: Force of Nature: 4 (locations) +2 (Van Pelt) +2 (2x Living Jungle in the encounter deck) +5 XP (successful resolution) = 13 XP

There's a total of 40 XP available before the final scenario, but players should expect around 30-35 XP in total before the final scenario. Scenario 1's location XP is hard to get all of, as they're too spread out and you just don't need as many clues to advance. Scenario 3 had enough going on that it's difficult to hit every location as well.

Campaign Breakdown

Token Choices

At the start of scenarios 2 and 3, you're given a choice of a cultist (if you choose to hurry) or a tablet (if you choose to be cautious). Both tokens have the same penalty through the campaign (-2 for easy/standard, and -3 for hard/expert) but have different negatives.

The Cultist adds suspicion in Scenario 2, deals damage or horror in Scenario 3, and causes you to take horror if you're low on cards in Scenario 4.

The Tablet drops clues in Scenario 2, causes you to lose actions in Scenario 3, and deals you damage if you don't have enough resouces in Scenario 4.

These tokens are pretty comperable, but you might have strong feelings towards one or the other depending on your decks.

There's additional tokens to "earn" through the campaign, but it's less of a choice. After Scenario 1, if you've defeated the Ferocious Lion, you get a Cultist token - otherwise you get an Elder Thing, which acts as a Cultist AND a Table! Likewise, after Scenario 3, you get a Tablet if you've defeated the Carniverous Tangle, and an Elder Thing if you haven't.
