Legacies

Legacies appears here as the brighter reserve choice for three players when a six-hour campaign was plainly the wrong fit. The account ends before the game itself reaches the table, however.

We were down to three, so Conquest & Consequence, with its six-hour promise, stayed on the shelf. Legacies became the more flamboyant alternative: a change of costume for an evening that had no appetite for campaign gear.

The account gives no core actions for Legacies and no shape for a round. There is no honest basis here for pretending I know how a session actually moves.

Nor does it say what three players do to one another: compete directly, obstruct, bargain, or quietly build beside each other. The one clear point is that it was chosen as the more suitable option for three than a very long alternative.

On this evidence, Legacies is a promise freshly lifted from the shelf, not yet a game that has earned my verdict.

  • Review EPOS: A Gentes Game

    EPOS: A Gentes Game gives the much-loved Gentes a modest polish and a campaign of scenarios that seems ready to pull it in fresh directions. Its one serious demand is a properly organised box.

  • Review Cold War: CIA vs KGB

    Cold War: CIA vs KGB is not the last word in games about its subject. But for a child trying to understand a war with no famous battlefield attached, it is a gentle and useful place to begin.

  • Review Propolis

    Propolis is a fresh, light city builder with pleasing resource management and the good sense to finish in under an hour. It offers enough shape to feel satisfying without asking for an entire evening.
