Thames & Kosmos Legends of Andor: The Family Fantasy Game

Non ho aspettato che venisse localizzato in italiano, ma con conoscenze base di inglese è affrontabile. Praticamente è un gioco da tavolo in stile tower defense (qualcuno ha detto Last Bastion?) in cui l'obbiettivo è completare almeno 4 delle 6 quest così da poter arrivare ad affrontare il drago Tarok (ovvero la missione 5 de Le leggende di Andor). Ci sono un certo numero di variabili che lo rendono rigiocabile, ieri pomeriggio avremmo fatto 4/5 partite di fila e il pomeriggio è volato. È possibile scalare il livello di difficoltà aumentando o diminuendo il numero di carte Narratore in partita. Se amate il mondo di Andor, i giochi veloci da intavolare e piuttosto rapidi (25-40 min a partita) lo consiglio

We wanted to find a family co-op game to work on teamwork and have quality family time together with our 5 and 7 year old. It had to be challenging and easy to understand. We did a few test play throughs with the instructions to get used to the game (I'd advise parents having a go first and get a great understanding of the rules as it can be boring for the kids while you're reading through as you go along...we made this mistake). Once everyone knows the rules it's easy to play and we found everyone soon had their allocated role for each game. It does have additional challenges to mix it up as well. I can see how if played a lot it could lose it's fun a bit, but I would recommend mixing it up again each time with different people doing different roles and challenges. Our average game took between 25-45 minutes. It takes about 5 minutes to set up. I do think this is one of our favourite games and my 5 year old picked it up easily once we explained it a few times. As it's a co-op we do help and guide each other. Some of this is down to skill but there's also a lot down to luck as well. The art work is appealing and overall it's a great game to play over and over.

Great Game easy to understand once you get going and plenty of different quests to change things up for the kids

The grand finale to a truly epic journey!

Importante a tener en cuenta: la expansión está en inglés, pero aun así merece mucho la pena. Esta expansión se vuelve prácticamente necesaria si quieres jugar a Las Leyendas de Andor: La Última Esperanza. Con los personajes del juego base es casi imposible superar las partidas, y aquí es donde esta expansión marca la diferencia. Los nuevos personajes aportan una versatilidad brutal, hacen el juego más equilibrado y permiten afrontar las leyendas con más opciones y estrategias. Como amante de los juegos de mesa cooperativos, agradezco mucho este tipo de ampliaciones que no solo añaden contenido, sino que mejoran la experiencia. Muy recomendable si eres fan de Andor y quieres disfrutar el juego sin frustrarte.
