Die Legenden von Andor

Neue Helden

Heroes protect the realm of Andor from evil creatures, which beleaguer the King’s Castle, so in consequence all heroes are defeated when too many creatures invade the Castle. In five legends we must defend the Castle and complete Legend Objectives. A narrator moves along a letter track; when there is a legend card for a letter, it is read out - it tells the story, introduces creatures and resources, and names legend objectives and additional rules. Each hero has 10 hours per turn at his disposal; the narrator moves when a creature is defeated and when all heroes have used up their turn time. When the narrator reaches the end of his track, legend objectives must have been completed.

"Neue Helden" introduces the components for a game of 5 and 6 players and also four new heroes: Kheelan/Kheela shares his/her starting point with the Water Spirit and only he/she can move the spirit; Fenn/Fennah can use the new items of Raven, Horn or Knife once per day. Bragor/Rhega cannot carry helmet or big items, but can attack a creature on the same case. Arbon/Talvora decides at the start of a combat if he/she uses his abilities.

There are also three variants for the game: Bruderschild reduces the difficulty level of legends and allows heroes to swap strength points. The Black Herald raises difficulty levels, as he adds to the strength of the final opponent. The Drunken Troll simply blocks spaces and is relocated by event cards.

Well, legends keep being told and New Heroes does this, the story is continued interestingly and attractively, especially the variance of difficulty levels is a challenging alternative.
