I love the atmosphere of this game and the gameplay but I feel like the game is in the host favor all of the time.

You said how many redraw card again? 12?
9 of them is on my side...

The host have more chance to use the utility? why?
Here's what I experience:

I got a crowbar while the host have nothing.

I got a Fire extinguisher and planned to use it as fast as I can which mean the start of next turn.

Host get a crowbar then IMMEDIATELY use it after his turn... and stole my everything (He stole my crowbar first then my fire extinguisher).

Another thing is he keep getting good item (Crowbar, Gasoline, and Fire extinguisher) while I get only a spyglass and an axe. One time I got 3 spyglass in a row.

Yeah admittedly, it's a bit of a flaw in the game's design.
When the cards are randomly distributed about the field,
a lot of redraws can outright land on your side.
real uphill battle from there.

On top of that,
The Host's AI does count cards and tracks how many of each card are on the field,
then calculates the probability of a favorable outcome.

While the AI is programmed to not fall too far behind the player,
i think it's very possible in this case that it was just really rotten luck.

Sorry about that.
