The Legend of Drizzt!

Hi Gamers!
       Today we want to show you something special. I recently got my hands on this Awesome Board Game.

  This game got my attention almost a month ago, yesterday I finally got my hands on it. Trust me it was worth the long wait.

 What’s In The Box?

   Legend of Drizzt comes in a fairly large game box that includes 40 detailed (but unpainted) miniatures, 200 standard sized cards, 8 cardboard double sided hero cards, 4 double sided villain cards, 1 rulebook, 1 scenario book, 32 interlocking cavern tiles, 4 double sized interlocking tiles, 22 interlocking cavern edge tiles, 1 20 sided Die, and enough cardboard bits to keep the logging industry in business. All this gaming goodness ships in a nice, form fitting, compartmentalized, plastic tray and can be yours for the MSRP of $64.99.

   Legend of Drizzt comes with 40 detailed but unpainted plastic miniatures. They are cool looking Heroes, Monsters and villains that with a little patience and a steady hand you can turn from simple plastic to some realistic creature. Like this ones HERE.

After and Before

Set Up
Players select one of the adventures from the Adventure book, making sure to follow any special set up instructions for that adventure.

• Each of the turns the play decks are shuffled and put within easy reach of every player.
• Unless the Adventure says otherwise, place the Start Tile in the center of the table and place two Healing Surge tokens within easy reach of all the players. These are the group’s healing surges for this Adventure.
• Each player selects from one of the eight 1st-level Heroes and decides which Power Cards to use for that Hero.
• Each hero is placed on the start tile, unless of course the adventure states otherwise.
• Each Hero draws a Treasure Card, drawing and discarding until they obtain a Treasure Card with an item on it.
• Set up the Cavern Tile stack (the deck of tiles) using the setup instructions in the Adventure you have selected. The Adventure will advise of any additional rules you need in the “Special Adventure Rules” section, or any rules that change the core game rules.

Each game turn is broken down into 3 specific phases that must be fully completed in order before the next player can begin their turn.

 Hero Phase

1.  If your Hero has 0 Hit Points, use a Healing Surge token if one is available.
2.  Perform one of the following actions:

           ✦  Move and then make an Attack.
           ✦ Attack and then Move.
           ✦ Make two Moves.

Once this phase is completed move on to the next phase.

 Exploration Phase

1.  If your Hero occupies a square along an unexplored edge, go on to Step 2. If your Hero doesn’t occupy a square along an unexplored edge, go on to the Villain Phase.
2. Draw a Dungeon Tile and place it with its triangle pointing to the unexplored edge of the tile your Hero is exploring from.
3. Place a Monster on the new tile.

Once this phase is completed move on to the next phase.

 Villain Phase

1.  If you didn’t place a Dungeon Tile in your Exploration Phase, or if you placed a Dungeon Tile with a  black triangle, draw and play an Encounter Card.
2.  If the Villain is in play, activate the Villain.
3. Activate each Monster and Trap Card, in turn, in the order you drew them making sure to follow the tactics on each respective card.

Play then moves on to the next players turn. (This set up was taken from the Official WOTC Site)

We talked about the miniatures. There are 40 of them From Heroes to Villains and Monsters.

  First we have our Feral Trolls and Goblins, we have some Hunting Drakes too, Archer Goblins a Goblin Champion and Goblin Cutters. This Nasty little creatures may look weak. Bust trust me they can be a pain.

   Now here we have Some Drow Duelists, The Drow Wizard, Swarms, The Shadow Dragon and Dinin she is a Half Spider Half Drow and a merciless Creature.

    

   Here we have our Water Elementals and some Hypnotic Spirits.

 
   Here we have our Villains. The Mercenary, The Assassin, Methil el Viddenvelp (Heck of a Name), Yochlol (some kind of creature with a Huge eye) and Yvonnel Baenre Matron Mother. Some of these are playable characters. Yes that means you can be Hero or Villain. That is a really cool. Just think of this. The story begins with five adventurers. And at some point some one will betray the group. At the end that betrayal could have been a false cover for the completion of the Quest. Or simply was a cruel way to show the players that you can't trust anyone!








 
   Here we have Errtu, Balor. Now we know what happened to Gandalf. But we never really knew the were about of his Lava Diving Companion. Now we do. (JK lol) This dude here is HUGE  and does not occupy squares on the map, he occupies entire Tiles. He has some devastating AOE attacks and his AC is really challenging.










   And now here they are. The Heroes of this Board Game.  Drizzt The Drow Ranger, Athogate a Dwarf Battlerager, Bruenor Battlehamer Dwarf Fighter, Cattie-Brie Human Archer, Regis Halfling Rouge and Wulfgar Human Barbarian. The Panther is Drizzt's pet companion.

   The Basic game is really easy once you get the hang of it. I played the Solo adventure and it went like this. I had a lot of fun and can't wait to start a new Solo adventure or with some companions.

   That's all for now on The Legend of Drizzt. -N- here telling you see you soon and Let's talk Board Games!
