And I'm not trying to minimize your observations. It is true that fireland tokens add great danger to the game, especially with many players and if no cards to remove tokens are drawn. They can also make the main board a place where you don't want to be. Once we had to leave the board and enter the Dungeon to survive, which is quite a weird thing to say. Of course there are different feedbacks from other players, that use all expansions just like you, that say they see too few firelands tokens and card burning in their games, so the impression can be very different depending on which cards are drawn. And danger is good! It did make the game more exciting. And when you moved rarely did you HAVE to land on a fire spot, you always had another choice. We did have people run to the highlands also to avoid them as well. The troll had a field day in there. It was quite fun watching people decide to land or not land on a space turned into the ruins to draw 2 cards even though they were going to lose a life doing it because of the fire symbol on it! We also had the added bonus that the sentinel spot was changed to a ruins spot very early so people could move up to the middle region freely as well.

Hey, I'm not complaining here, I was just asking if we were missing something obvious. With 4 players the adventure cards did not come fast and furious to get to the removal items. We must have just lucked out and gotten the ones that placed the flames first. In addition we had no one that automatically had spells to use, so we had very few spells being cast and never got to those as well.

We were using all of the expansions other than the dragon. So we didn't nearly get through all the spells or adventure cards. We were thinking of alternate rules, just wanted to see if there was something more obvious that we missed that caused them to be removed. One thing we did do is when we had to move a "ruins" location because we didn't have any more available, we moved the fire token with it and did not leave it in the space where it was.

Played our first game with the new expansion last night. But all players thought the fireland tokens are a bit over powered. We could not find a way in the rules to remove them. Are there any ways? Once placed are they on the board for the rest of the game?
