Even knowing the scenario, you still don't know necessarily where to go or how you'll get there. Admittedly, it can be a swingy, as you might expect when the locations only appear randomly, but man, it is such a clean, simple, good premise. It's a great and fitting end to the campaign.

If I remember right, Return does include some new locations that provide alternate paths and thus reduce chokepoints. My wife and I won, but I’m pretty sure we missed a major rule that would have had us facing Yog early, too.

Easy to do. The game does have those weird moments where you aren't sure whether something is meant to be working the way it does because the design team are messing with you, or someone just messed up.
