Eight (yes, 8) times the lightning tower showed up among the 5 cards to get in the middle of the hard grinding mission. It doesn't matter what choices I make after shuffling, I never get the lighting tower. Four times is bad luck, but eight is highly suspicious. I call it shenanigans.
I guess I better just play some dice over the table... just as random, but way less frustrating... way to mess with an otherwise awesome game with great potential. Make sure your next game is just as random, so you're guaranteed to have some more angry players out there.
