Any surprises?

I knew that singed leaves a trial of poison

Well, come to think of it, there's a lot that hasn't been revealed, but, is there anything you can reveal here?

Yes, there are secret packets in the game you open as it goes on. It is similar to the "Legacy" format pioneered by Rob Daviau in "Risk Legacy". There is a big box with a giant axe or weapon poking out with a huge miniature. I assume it is a final boss or something: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehApzIpAUys&list=PLmQverenaaqLnrc9D560b2hxZ7oOmdl_0&index=1
