Embarked upon my first four-player venture into Pauper’s Ladder. I typically tread its well-worn paths in solitude but it was a delightful journey with travel companions. Alas, at its full complement the game stretches itself too thin (4 hours!) and drags into the vexing “search for the last ingredient that never turns up” cycle in the waning stages. Restricting the game to 2 Virtues might be mandatory to maintain sanity.
