10 Deceptive Video Game Loot You Instantly Regretted Picking Up
4. The Stranger - Armello
Armello is a digital board game set in a fictional kingdom of anthropomorphic animals, in which your goal is to become the new ruler of Armello before all the other players do it first.
To aid you on your quest, the game features a huge collection of loot cards, including weapons, armor, relics, and followers, each providing you with unique bonuses.
Unless you're dealing with the Stranger, that is.
The Stranger is a follower card that can randomly drop as a loot while exploring a dungeon. Once you acquire him, he immediately takes up a follower space, refuses to leave your side, and, as a "benefit," he forces you to waste one movement point by going in a random direction at the start of each of your turns.
If you acquire the Stranger, it's probably because you got greedy and the game lured you into exploring a dungeon with the promise of treasure, only to present you with this nasty, mangy surprise.
Luckily, there is a way to get rid of this old cat, by ending your turn next to another player.
Just remember that, thanks to the Stranger's amazing sense of direction, catching up to your opponents is easier said than done.
