Lost Legacy

This is a short mircogame in a similar vein to love letter, but it's vastly better. The original art is fantastic (forget the AEG version along with their terrible card text changes). The idea of the game is that you are looking for the number 5 card. It could be in a player's hand, in the draw, or in the face down discard pile. On your turn, you have a card in your hand. You draw a card, and then play a card and resolve it's ability which will either give you information, or possibly remove a player from the game. When the pile runs out, there's an investigation phase where remaining players take turns guessing where the 5 is. If they can point it out, they win. Otherwise the next player in ascending numerical order guesses, using the numbers printed on the card remaining in their hand. There is a ton of replayability thanks to the modular system where each of the sets comes with 2 decks and with 5 or 6 players, you can mix either of the two decks from this set with one of the two decks from the other two sets to make a different experience each time. ★ Art, Iconography and components functional ★ Clever or interesting mechanisms ★ Reasonably low downtime between turns with mildly AP players ★ Multiple plays stay interesting ☆ Low or mitigatable luck elements ★★★★★ Raw enjoyment
