Bardsung: Legend of the Ancient Forge Dungeon Crawl (Core Game) 100+ Hours of Play

Product Information

For examply, the multitude of cards paired with the poor organization of the box design meant that it was a hassle to find the particular card I needed.

We finally busted it out last night and played through the combat and exploration tutorials and it seems like it's going to be a fun dungeon crawler for sure! If you like epic dungeon crawlers that can effortlessly take over your life (and shelf space), like Shadows of Brimstone, then maybe you are ready for another adventure that can give bards something to sing about. Almost all of the reviews on Board Game Quest are from review copies of a game provided by the publisher. Dungeon crawlers like Gloomhaven, however, prioritize clear labeling of their many pieces and parts so that they cannot be confused with one another—standardized usability is the focus. The Chapters do wrap the theme into the enemies and hazards that you’ll face, and almost always tie the goal and advancement directly into the theming as well.Moving at a slower pace isn’t necessarily a bad thing but considering the sheer volume of Chapters and Encounters in Bardsung, a slower pace is going to add up to a significant amount of time over the course of the campaign.

Stoneheart is an out-and-out melee fighter, beginning their path with a high strength modifier and solid resilience.A sentient wall of armour, flesh, and muscle, the Brute is a living tank that keeps moving forward, pushing your heroes around and dishing out damaging attacks in the process—the definition of an unstoppable force. But what unfolds from there is a unique adventure fit to capture the imagination of the most famous bards across the land. Dangerous at range but vulnerable up close, these foes will puncture your heroes with arrows as their Hobgoblin allies keep them free from hand-to-hand combat. Cruel and vicious, the Crimson Hook is an infamous tyrant in these parts, hated and feared in equal measure. Two books are included in Bardsung: a rulebook, which includes the basic rules and two excellent tutorials, and an adventure book containing mostly the Chapters and narrative paragraphs for the campaign.
