Adventures and Failed Games

So I decided I'd like to play around with some cards like Governor and Black Market on Goko, which means finishing adventures, which is a little frustrating.  The design of the adventures seems like it should be a trial and error kind of thing.. try it out, if you fail either adjust your strategy or zap to equality (or super-equality). 

However, I can only successfully start an adventure game some fraction (maybe a third) of the time.  After choosing the battle and applying zaps, sometimes a game starts and sometimes it black screens.  So then I have to restart and try again.  This is particularly annoying because the zap process is tedious.  And it basically compels me to zap myself to all silvers so that I don't risk a loss.  Even so it's really tedious because the game doesn't start most of the time.

I'm mostly just complaining, but is everyone else having this problem?

yes, me too.  I've discovered that if you leave the black screen open for a long time (15 minutes - hours) it will eventually run.  So just do that!

Or spend 45 second refreshing. It seemed to work the second time for me.

I've refreshed to multiple failures concurrently.  And each time you have to select Adventure, select the particular step, apply zaps, and start the game.  It gets tedious.

I don't see why people don't want to stare at a black screen for 15 minutes.  it's very zen.  Like, it's the game you're not playing that's important.
