BLOG

Many a legend has been shared over the centuries, of brave adventurers and their heroic deeds, of vile creatures slain and obstacles overcome. Well now I invite you to delve with me into the ‘Legends Untold’.

"Only a few of the Sax remain, driven from their homes by the invasion of the Newcomers. You’ve saved those you could and now you are gathered at the outskirts of the mighty city of Dun Mordhain. A group of unlikely heroes, the final hope of a conquered people, will use nothing but their wits and crude weapons to explore and gain access to the great free city."

Preparing for my first adventure I reached into the box, fishing out the rulebook and player aids…and then it hit me. There are 4 of them. Four player aids, printed front and back. Plus a comprehensive Rulebook. With some trepidation I ventured forth and, despite the learning curve, it took surprisingly little time for me to take my first steps into Legends Untold.

Starting Your Adventure…

The world unfolds from five, shuffled decks of cards, the contents of which are determined by the scenario or episode you play.

Location Deck – the locations you will explore;

Event Deck – this is your timer, use it wisely;

Obstacle Deck – these may block your way into the next location;

Barrier Deck – you might find loot or a campfire… if you can pass through;

Adventure Deck – anything else you could find in your journey: foes, traps, loot and discoveries.

The ‘board’ is built from location cards (creating a different layout each time you play) which provide a wealth of iconography detailing how your adventure will progress. Sometimes an obstacle will block your entrance, and this must be resolved before you can progress further. Once complete, the left-hand side of a location card details things that must be resolved once you enter, usually a foe or a discovery (inhabitants or ‘curiosities’ to be found) or sometimes both! Once you have successfully resolved these you are free to explore further, dealing with barriers which often block camp sites (where you can heal) or opportunities to search for loot. All of this takes time and you will need to prioritise this during your travels as the Event Deck acts as your timer, more on this later.

Although I found set-up takes longer than the suggested 5 minutes it was not difficult, and the Rulebook does a good job of walking you through this the first time. Both ‘The Great Sewers’ and ‘The Weeping Caves’ Novice Sets come with eight ‘one-off’ scenarios plus eight ‘episodes’ which form a longer ‘Cinematic Campaign’. All of this, as well as the variety of cards provided, guarantees that no two adventures will play out the same way.

Legends Untold: Delving Deeper…

The characters of Legends Untold are not what you’d immediately expect. They are ‘normal’ people, they’ve armed themselves with whatever they can find and rely on their ‘normal’ talents to survive. Characters begin with a weapon, a skill in using that weapon and two talents. I love that my labourer is a ‘Fungi Expert’ who can find spores and use these as a ranged weapon or that the guttersnipe can use his resourcefulness to turn loot into an advantage in battle. Although there are some suggested character builds you can build your character as you wish and there is plenty of choice available. Each time you complete a scenario or episode successfully you level up, adding talents or kit or upgrading your weapon.

Decisions, Decisions…

Right from the outset there are big decisions to make and the co-operative nature of the game means this involves everyone. Characters are not individually represented as you travel through each location, rather a single party token represents the group’s progress. Will you leave through the brightly lit exit so you can more easily spot hidden traps or the dark one so that potential enemies won’t see you coming? Will your party storm into their next location, or will you take your time to sneak through?

Marching order matters and to start each round you’ll need to select a Scout to lead and a Guard to watch your back. You won’t ‘take turns’ as such, characters come to the fore as their skills and talents are required, all of which leads to the potential for much discussion and little down-time around the table.

Don’t Forget Your Watch!

Legends Untold is no laid-back wander through shiny caverns or stinky sewers. The Event deck acts as your timer, with ‘time’ being spent as you explore new locations or take longer than expected to get around that cave-in. Reaching the last card in the deck triggers a punishing event, losing that card from the game and leaving you just a little less time until the next one. This results in a careful balancing act; do you spend time looking for elusive loot whilst one of your party is nearly unconscious? That event might just knock her out, you’ll be forced to camp and bring another event one step closer! Now, running out of time won’t always outright kill you but it will make life much, much more difficult.

Test Your Luck. If You Are Lucky Turn To 142

If you grew up like me with your hand clutching 2 D6 and your head buried in a ‘Choose Your Own Adventure’ book, you’ll be no stranger to skill tests. That’s a good thing because you’ll need them…a lot! Want to enter a new location? Think you can jump that chasm? Need to persuade the thief not to kill you? Take a test. Your fate is firmly in the hands of 3 D6 with mitigation provided by the skills and talents of your party plus any loot you’ve been lucky enough to pick up along the way. Although the tests are plentiful there is a lot of variety and care has been taken to make sure each one is thematically strong.

Rather than a ‘you fail’ or ‘you succeed’ resolution a selection of outcomes is presented and, on some occasions, that little bit of flavour text will convince you to back away slowly with your hands in the air. Some will require one hero; others involve everyone, and a particularly successful roll on a Party Test can lead to one character leading another safely through the latest peril. I particularly enjoy the Staged Tests, a chance for the greedy amongst us to push our luck towards the best outcome.

Let’s Go Kill Something!

You’ll certainly face some brutal battles fighting the monsters of Legends Untold, however, I found the joy of bashing a drunken goblin round the head was marred by a somewhat ‘clunky’ combat system. You establish surprise then this determines advantage for the engagement round with additional rounds following. Each round characters have their choice of using a ranged or melee attack, dependent upon their previous decisions, with ranged attackers going first, starting with the heroes. You need to ensure the correct ratio of ranged/melee heroes to enemies as well as remember modifiers that may apply as a result. Ranged monsters do roll to attack though melee creatures do not. Scores are counted then applied to a table to establish the result.

Although it makes a lot of thematic sense for a ranged enemy to be disadvantaged when a labourer is waving an axe in his face this is an example of one thing that makes my list of ‘things I might not have remembered to do’ a little longer.

The Verdict…

Yes, it’s fiddly to begin with; yes, there’s a lot of text to get through and icons to decipher, but the deeper you go the more there is to love. This game does a good job of replicating that RPG feel and those of you playing this style of game regularly will probably find the flow of this game much more natural than I did at the outset. I love to throw some dice around so the myriad of tests required was no problem for me but there is a lot to get your head around. Having said this, even on my second play-through I found things starting to make sense and the more I looked up from the Rulebook and Player Aids the more I gradually fell further into the Legends Untold world. There is so much attention to detail here, every card fits seamlessly into the theme and adds detail to your surroundings.

I’ve found myself growing quite attached to these simple characters. If your highly skilled warrior misses a hit you may be disappointed, but when my simple student lands a critical hit against a Goblin Brave I find myself cheering at my gaming table. As a relative ‘newbie’ to the hobby Arkham Horror: The Card Game is the only other card-based ‘adventure’ game I’ve played (though with a very different theme) and I found the game-play here far smoother, although set-up time can be a lot higher. Read about Arkham Horror here.

Legends Untold plays comfortably solo (I’ve been running it solo with two characters) and offers a ‘true solo’ option as well as the co-operative mode (though I suspect this could suffer from ‘alpha’ issues in some groups). A Games Master could lead the adventure through preparing the order of cards, there is the chance for free-form exploration and the ability to combine both Novice Sets for an even bigger experience. That’s not mentioning expansions that are available: the Alchemist Booster, the Treasure Booster, and the Druid Booster.

Overall there’s a lot of game in these little boxes and this certainly won’t be the last time they make it to my table.

Surprisingly amazing chair!
Color: Pink, Color: Pink
tl;dr: If you need a chair that has the features of this one, then this one is a winner! Hits above its weight class for sure. My wife is 5’. She’s small. For whatever reason she ended up with a chair made for big people, like 6+ feet and up to 500lbs type of a chair. She’d often even sleep on it and chill on it. The chair was big enough to fit 2 of her to be honest. It was an expensive chair that I won at some raffle and didn’t like myself. Over the years it ripped (got a cover for it) and even started to get lopsided (from the sleeping) and finally a spring broke (hence the pillow on it in the pictures) She obviously lives pink. I also wanted to get a chair where she could work and not end ip asleep on. Not like we have a couch or a bed for that 😂. This chair is very obviously smaller than her previous chair, it’s also significantly cheaper in price and build, it’s also not as durable feeling or stable, and it’s just not as padded. Yet somehow it’s an amazing chair that we both like better than her previous chair??? Like it’s crazy that this chair somehow works better in so many ways. Her desk is modified to be shorter than normal desks (again, she small lol) and her previous chair was just too big. The wheels are also like SUPER smooth, like you can run a chair race easily with it. It rolls over her rug and tucks into her desk (which is in our bedroom) easily. The amount of space this has save us when the chair isn’t being used is a lot. Previous chair was much bigger and didn’t tuck in at all. The color is nice and the padding is plenty for a small and much lighter than 500lbs woman. I’m 6 feet and 200 lbs and the chair is nice for me as well. My chair is bigger and more secure in the backing, which is similar to this one. The lowest tension setting on my chair is still too high for her to lean back on my chair. This chair has a lower tension minimum and she can easily lean back freely, as well as keep enough tension to work without sagging. This chair is surprisingly outstanding! I’m sure my wife will destroy it quicker than the last one, but it’s so cheap that even if it only lasts 1-3 years, I’ll happily buy it ones or twice more 🤷🏽‍♀️. Maybe by then they’ll invent a comfortable titanium chair that’s affordable that she won’t destroy 😂.

Mid.
Color: Light Purple
The chair is fine, and reasonably easy to put together. However, I've been using it for a little over a year and a half, and it's already falling apart. Random parts of it have fallen off, which is fine because it was still functional. But now the most frustrating part is that the wheels continue to pop off, and while the first attempts to pop them back on worked, they will not stay on now. This is obviously greatly impacting the stability, and I will need to purchase a replacement soon. For this price and lack of long-term durability, I would not buy again.

Alexa messed me up, but the company of the chair made it right!
Color: Light Purple, Color: Light Purple
I wanted something small with arms that moved out of the way when I wanted to slide my chair all the way into my desk for more space. This fit the bill. I loved the color blue and I had that in my cart for a bit. One day Alexa mentioned that an item that was in my cart was on sale. It was the chair. I let it be ordered. When it came it didn't exactly look blue to me. But I kept putting it together thinking maybe it was the lighting in the room I was assembling it in. I brought it to my craft room and lo and behold it is light purple. I looked at my order and sure enough it said light purple. Boo! I looked in my saved cart and the chair was gone. So I accepted it for an error. The next day I checked to see if I could return it. Thought I could, till I read that I would have to pay to return it. So I wrote the seller to tell them to ignore the return. And that was that. Till a couple days later I get an email from the seller asking if I would like a full refund or a replacement at no cost. I was like heck yeah send me the blue one. I was thrilled and I wanted to thank the seller for doing this without the return of the other chair. But I could not find a place to do that now. So here is where I will thank you. Thank you so much for doing this for me. You guys are AWESOME!. I love the chair and I love the blue color. I find it very comfortable, lite, easy to adjust, the size works great for me, and for the price the quality fits my needs. I do hope it lasts me for quite some time. Thanks again!

Awesome chair definitely recommend
Color: Blue, Color: Blue
It was amazing the color was spot on and it was very very easy to put together and the size is amazing for my 11 year old daughter maybe not for an older person it doesn’t recline as much as it says so if you want a reclining chair maybe I don’t recommend this chair but the quality is amazing and the adjustment capability is incredible the noise level is at 0 it is an amazing chair we just got it so I don’t know so much about the dupability so if you want this chair for a child or a tween maybe even a teen easy to put together beautiful blue color this is the chair for you.
