The Creature usually blocks The Rover because it is a powerful space, so it is very important for players to make smart decisions when selecting new place cards.
Lately, I've seen players choose The Swamp as the first new place card, which really confuses me. The Swamp is a card that helps one player only, whereas The Shelter, The Wreck, and The Source help the entire team, which makes them much more powerful. It is no surprise that the team ends up losing when players choose The Swamp instead of the other new place cards. It's possible that we may only get to select one or two new place cards throughout the entire game. Why waste it on The Swamp?
