Intro:
Path to Carcosa on Normal with two friends new to the game. They are playing Roland and Jacqueline. This is the primary cluever for the group. Sometimes evading or supporting as necessary. Our card pool is limited and missing many of the spicier cards. This is a casual deck but comments are still appreciated!

Plan:
Step 1: Setup Lockpicks + Magnifying Glass + Milan to investigate.
Step 2: Make money with Milan, Crack the Case, and Watch This.
Step 3: Generate tempo with Intel Report, Lucky Cigarette Case, Pickpocketing.
Step 4: Manage enemies with Breaking and Entering, Slip Away, Obfuscation
Step 5: Support with Crack the Case, No Stone Unturned, Logical Reasoning.

Weaknesses
No way to kill or otherwise permanently deal with enemies. The guardian and mystic should fill that role for us. Not too concerned about the encounter deck enemies. Should have enough evade to fend for myself most of the time.

There is no great way to soak damage. Generally don't want to sacrifice Milan unless the scenario is ending soon. Considered Lonnie and Leather Jacket but I want my teammates to save me on occasion and create a sense of danger.

Deck suffers from a bad opening hand or poor draw timing. Wants to start with assets to hit the ground running. Stalls out if the scenario is front loaded with all the skills and events. Could use some more card draw, at the sacrifice of economy, to smooth things out.

Author Notes:
Normally play with full card pool on hard difficulty. Never played Trish before and using this opportunity to try some different cards. Obfuscation, Breaking and Entering, and Slip Away seem super cute. Should be able to trigger her ability somewhat often.

Wanted to include several support cards to help the team and ensure we don't get stuck. Things like Logical Reasoning and No Stone Unturned to keep Roland alive and Jacqueline equipped. Resources from Crack the Case will most likely go to my allies.

I've never played with Intel Report. I expect the team to split up fairly often since everyone has some ability to investigate and manage enemies. I hear good things about it from people, so hopefully it lives up to the hype. Seems like an improvement over Connect the Dots whenever available.

Priority upgrade number one are the Lockpicks. I am a little worried we will be lacking firepower so I will upgrade into some damaging events. Naturally taking upgraded Lucky Cigarette Case and Pickpocketing. Upgraded Slip Away seems like fun to abuse for some extra clues. Maybe add Leo De Luca and Charisma...

I found that upgraded pickpocketing wasn't worth it as I was automatically evading enemies more than I was straight up - thought I leant heavily into that playstyle, going so far as to versatile in Scene of the Crime.

Thanks for pointing out that interaction @grenadillaGoat. I probably would've missed that detail that myself. I'm impressed you read my notes. ^_^
