Hope you had a better experience than I did. When I first played this game, it was very much non-newbie friendly. I also had the misfortune of starting my first run as the bad guy, and I had no idea what I was doing. Basically got ganged up by the other players. Happened in two rooms, two games in a row. I quit for good.
Also not a fan of promoting games with loot boxes myself, I usually avoid playing anything that has in-game purchases really.
