The final cleanup of a long King's Dilemma legacy campaign. With the right crowd of five players this was an absolute joy. The storytelling, the great houses, all of it. We'll take a breather and play some other games before diving into Queen's Dilemma. #boardgames #kingsdilemma #legacygames

Legacy games have probably had their golden days. They were something new that hadn't been done before in our hobby. They promised a unique experience of a game that would change as you played it. Not only that, the change would be permanent, requiring you not to only remove components, but actually destroy them, or put stickers into the rulebook, onto the main game board or otherwise apply them to make an irreversible change to the game. However, as exciting as the idea was, it never sat comfortably with me. In this article, I want to talk about this in more detail.

Undaunted Stalingrad
Played Missions 5 & 6 last weekend. Lost one, won one, bringing the campaign total to 3v3. It really is setup well for tense back and forth.
It’s a resetable legacy campaign, cards being replaced and put aside instead of stickers. So it’s one of my favorite Legacy games and my favorite Undaunted game.
Only get to play with my friend every couple months, so it’s been a slow burn.

I guessed wrong on the first screw.

Wir haben uns jetzt dazu entschlossen doch nur zu zweit im Wilden Westen Schienen zu verlegen und uns die Nerverei eine größere Gruppe 12 mal an zusammen bringen zu ersparen.
Macht wirklich Laune, die ersten vier Partien haben wir direkt hintereinander weggebinged.

I’m not a fan.
I should probably start with a definition, and Board Game Geek’s definition is as good as any:
A legacy game is a game that gets permanently altered after playing it. This to reflect a campaign. New content may be kept in the box to be used after certain conditions. Old content may get destroyed. Existing components, such as a game board or rulebook may get altered with stickers, a pen or by other means.
The crucial point here is that the game is played as a single campaign — a finite number of linked games, played with the same group of people — and the way the game is played changes over the course of the campaign. This means that every game is unique, and (ideally) the gameplay will evolve to reflect the style of the players involved.
However, it also means that there is no going back and there is no replayability. Once the campaign is started, the game starts changing and there is no way of restarting the campaign.
This is especially an issue for me because when I get a new board game, I tend to jump in immediately with the recognition that I may not fully understand the rules until we’ve played the game a few times. This is not a problem with a more traditional type of game but with a legacy game, if we didn’t fully understand the rules the first couple times, the gameplay is affected for the rest of the campaign.
The other problems with legacy games are cost and convenience. These things are not cheap and the fact that you you can play only one campaign means that, if the campaign turns out to be quite short, it can be a lot of money for very little. And the fact that they are played as a campaign means that you need to be able to bring together the same group of people on a reasonably regular basis in order to complete it.
Legacy games are not all bad and they can provide a much deeper experience than that provided by more traditional board games. But I don’t think that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

Legacy of Yu
I had one more loss I could take, so my only goal that game was to remove the barbarian fort.
Managed to get a draw that let me defeat the fort after two hands. And then pushed the canal. Not having to deal with the fort, I managed to win the last game.
Overall I had a good experience. I like that the campaign is resettable. If you are looking for a card based, resource management story game, I recommend it.

Legacy of Yu Campaign report
After two losses in a row, I got the hang of the game and won the next six. One more win would finish the campaign, but at this point it was too easy.
So I used all three optional rules to increase the difficulty. Add in promo barbarian, start with two barbarians, start with two less cards in the deck.
Proceeded to lose the next three games.

Played game 4/? of Legacy of Yu. Second victory in a row, after the initial two losses. It was a very close game, almost didn’t make it the final round. Not certain if I’ll be able to win the next one, it’ll be tough.
Really enjoying this solo campaign game.

Played my second game of Legacy of Yu.
Once again overwhelmed by barbarians.
Played my third game of Legacy of Yu. Focused on getting workers every turn. Built up resources after the third canal. Crushed it.
Definitely enjoying this game. Recommended for an interesting solo campaign experience.

Played my first game of Legacy of Yu.
Mistakes were made, I clearly needed a variety of resources. And more villagers. So many more workers.
Was overrun by barbarians.
A resettable solo legacy board game about constructing canals.
Immediately want to try again.
