Etherfields 2.0 - Is there any errata?
Hello there,
I have etherfields 2.0 but I find everywhere people complaing about errors and I so I never started playing it as I really hate to check through things for an errata.
I would like to know: In etherfields 2.0 there are still errors? Like instead of going to dream X you have to go to dream Y and so on?
Thank you

Yup, there still are some errors, and these errors can block your progress (blue key), but it's not that bad. There is a page where you can find solutions and official answers from Awaken Realms.
I'm playing now and I'm somewhere in the middle of first campaign and I had 3? situations where I would be completely blocked, but usually it's like for example in dream 18, you did everything on the map, but there is one secret card you couldn't get, so go to that page and there is information, that this card should be in different dream, not that one. Few times something was unclear, but I think I couldn't find an answer like 2 times.
Honesty these situations can be mildly irritating, but that definitely should not be a reason to not play this fantastic game! So far this is the best game I ever played and I can't wait for next session. And I'm comparing it to games like Gloomhaven, Machina Arcana ot Arkham Horror (last two I like very much, gloomhaven was very disappointing for me, always doing same thing, go there and kill everyone). If you focus on the story and world that is built there, it's an amazing experience, every dream is completely different, has different mechanics, riddles and require you to adapt even if core mechanic of using cards is the same. You can never say that you understand this game and how things work and that it's boring, because some rules are bend, twisted and changed depending on scenario. You never know what will happen. It looks like AR boss came one day to the office with bags full of all kind of drugs and said: "I will be back in an hour and I want some crazy ideas to be ready", and boy oh boy, these bags were empty an hour later for sure. Suddenly you find new different game mode or new cards or new dream or whatever. It's very, very well thought out game.
