Our take on Dr. Plague
The bounce point arrives when guards, plague hazards, or environmental obstacles must be bypassed without fighting. Players looking for weapon-based encounters may hit that wall early, while the stated 2-hour-plus length can also limit appeal for those expecting a lengthy adventure.
