Yes, when we had crews of four it was split 2/2 for both cog battles.
We have yet to lose a toon due to lock-ups or death..Knock on wood
When I play this way (with exceptionally good players):
I carry slightly LESS tune-up (rather than 23, I carry about 17)
I carry sufficient trap, quicksand & trapdoors DO help weed off smaller cogs
I carry MORE lure, as many blue magnets, $10's and goggles, of course.
I carry less safes and replace them with brown pies
Not everyone may gag/play the same strategy, but it works for me!
Have a ball no matter who you play with, it IS supposed to be fun
