Description
Battleborn Legacy is a fantasy-themed board game that combines strategic warfare with role-playing elements, making it a must-try for enthusiasts of the genre. Designed by Eric Bartlett and John R. Hughes, this game for 2-4 players takes around 120 to 180 minutes to play, giving you ample time to immerse yourself in the world and master your skills. With a normal level of complexity, fans of board games will have no issue learning the rules and diving into the action. In Battleborn Legacy, you'll acquire resources to build powerful armies, complete quests, and discover rare magic, all in a bid to earn enough victory points to win the game. As you play, you'll put your skilled artisans to work building a strong economy, and then unleash legions led by powerful heroes to vanquish your foes. But don't underestimate the roaming undead armies, and always be on guard against the deadly dragon that may strike at the most unfavorable time. Each player starts by choosing a hero and a race alliance, which can be done randomly or through a blind bid. From there, you'll place your stronghold, hero, and starting army on one of your race alliance territories, and then take turns placing your units, resolving battles, and collecting resources. The game features a unique battle board system, where heroes and units can become veterans through battles won, and a random casualty chart adds a real combat element to the game. What really sets Battleborn Legacy apart is its combination of features, including the use of dice rolling, grid movement, and hand management, which all come together to create a game that's both strategic and exciting. With a resource management system that evolves over time, and random events like dragon attacks and natural disasters that can change your objectives and strategy, you'll need to be cunning and tactically skilled to emerge victorious. Whether you're a fan of fantasy, war games, or role-playing, Battleborn Legacy has something to offer, and its unique blend of mechanics and themes makes it a game that you won't want to miss. Published in 2017, Battleborn Legacy has already established itself as a classic in the genre, and its dedicated fan base is a testament to its enduring appeal.
