Legends of Andor

Players cooperate as a band of heroes defending a besieged fantasy realm from advancing enemies. Over a series of linked scenarios, the group completes quests, meets objectives, and responds to threats that march toward the castle according to a scripted story track. A legend deck and a moving marker drive an evolving narrative: new events, rules changes, and enemy deployments occur as the plot progresses. Players balance exploration, combat, and resource management while coordinating actions to steer the realm’s fate through each scenario and a final, player-shaped conclusion.

    Cooperative Adventure Board Game. My wife and me absolutely love this game. In some ways can seem a Dungeon Crawler, but it has also a unique Eurogamish flavour that makes this game an awesome balance between this two genres.

Rules questions

Answered from the rulebook by Ludoya's rules assistant.

Can I use items, trade, or pick up/drop things when it's not my turn?

Yes — many actions are free actions and cost no hours, so you may perform them anytime (even when it isn’t your turn) as long as your time marker is not in the sunrise box (examples: use articles, trade/give items or gold, pick up or deposit items) (page 4).

If I walk through a space with a fog token, does it trigger or only if I stop there?

Passing through a space with a fog token does nothing; the token is only uncovered and activated if you end your move on that space (page 3; see fog tokens on page 7).

If several heroes fight a creature together, who gets the reward?

Only the heroes who are participating in the final battle round divide the reward; all participants advance their time markers 1 hour when joining, and rewards are split among those remaining at the battle’s end (page 4).

When does the Narrator advance and when are Legend cards triggered?

The Narrator always advances one space at sunrise and also advances immediately whenever a creature is defeated; if the Narrator reaches a letter space with a star, the corresponding Legend card must be read aloud and followed (pages 5 and 3).

How do overtime hours work and do they cost willpower?

Each hero may take up to 3 overtime hours per day, but each overtime hour costs 2 willpower points and overtime must never reduce a hero’s willpower to 0 (overview and overtime rules, pages 2 and 5).

What happens when a creature reaches the castle — can I attack it on the golden shield?

When a creature enters the castle it is placed on a golden shield next to the castle and cannot be attacked there; if there are no unoccupied golden shields when a creature enters the castle, the Legend is prematurely lost (pages 7 and 2).
