Let’s Talk About Legacy

On June 13, 2017

That title should be sung to a certain tune, but I’ll let you figure that out.

Now, unfortunately I don’t have any pictures for you all with this one, nor do I have a plethora of knowledge since I have only played one legacy game. (Gosh, I can hear your booing and hissing… cool your jets and listen). Now that all the impatient kids are gone, let’s dive in. Although I don’t have a lot of experience with this type of game, I enjoyed the one that I played SO much, that I felt it deserved to be raved about. So, without further ado, let’s talk about Pandemic Legacy.

Let me start by saying this: I hate base Pandemic. I see I’ve lost a few more of you…and that’s okay. Base Pandemic offers nothing more to me than a few colorful cubes and an excuse for alpha-players to quarterback for half an hour. It’s boring, redundant, and really not worth my time. Pandemic Legacy takes the general concept of the base game and transforms it into something that can be genuinely enjoyed by everyone involved, and really cuts down on quarterbacking. Plus, it can actually be quite the stress-reliever, despite the insane to consider fact that you might end up playing 24 rounds of the game by the end! In an effort to cut down on the fluff and stuff, here’s the top 3 reasons I really enjoyed Pandemic Legacy.

Splendor: Simple, Yet Satisfying

As you’ve probably learned from some of my other posts (feel free to reread if you haven’t figured it out), I’m no stranger to hardcore, heavy board games. However, that’s not to say that I’m a hater of simpler classics and other easy finds. In fact, one of my all time favorite games is Splendor, and I have to admit that it’s pretty simple. Despite that, it’s actually a lot of fun and makes for a good beginning game, filler game, or family game. Here’s the lowdown.

Five Minutes or Forever: The Game of Fluxx

That title’s no joke. Fluxx is a simple, cute game that comes in dozens of different themes to appeal to everyone, BUT it can literally last a quick 5 minutes, or has the potential to go on for a few hours. Oh, that still sounds interesting to you? Well then… let’s continue!!

Alright friends and fans, things are about to get super stoked in here, because I’m about to tell you about my current favorite board game, Dice Masters.

(If you couldn’t tell, I really like to roll dice.) Let’s get to it. Here are 5 reasons why I love Dice Masters, and you should too.

Mysterium: The Deduction Game of a Lifetime

By Steph

Let’s start with the contradiction that is this game: Mysterium is a cooperative, one-VS-many board game. If you don’t know what that means I’ll try to put it simply – In most one-VS-many games, one player plays against the rest who play on a team (they very often use the “heroes VS the dungeon lord bad guy” kind of story). And in cooperative games…you work together, hopefully you knew that one. So in this game, the one player isn’t trying to defeat the many, but is helping them succeed.
