Board Game - Trudvang: Legends

"Trudvang: Legends"! It's time to become brave heroes fighting evil and leave your own mark in the annals of this world. Open the book of sagas to start your story! How will you act in the face of threat: will... you attack immediately or try to talk? Will you plan a stealth attack or unleash the full power of your magical arsenal on the enemy? Whatever decisions you make, they will have consequences that will affect not only the world around you but also its inhabitants. You have ahead of you 20 nonlinear adventures, 6 completely unique classes of heroes, and a vast world of tales, myths, and legends. Become a part of them and write your own saga in the world of Trudvang!
How to play?
To embark on an adventure, you need to become a hero, so first select the character class you want to play as, take its miniature and all its components. You can be a bard, a wizard of winter, a shadow priest, a warrior, a scout, or a rogue. Each class has unique traits and its own set of starting runes. As you move from adventure to adventure, you can change heroes; however, this may complicate your campaign process: during the games, your characters will level up and learn new skills, while a new hero will start the game with the most basic abilities.
Prepare the game board, adventure sheet, and landmark sheet. Insert the sheet of the adventure you are going to embark on into the latter. Everything is ready, you can set out on your journey!
During the game, you will take turns reading sections from the book of sagas and follow the phases of the game. Each section of the book dictates the conditions that need to be followed until they are completed or until a new landmark is revealed. After that, your actions will move beyond the lands of Trudvang! The game has 3 phases:
- Journey
- Encounter
- Exploration
In the first phase, each hero can venture into neighboring lands to explore them. Be careful: if there are enemies in the region you are leaving that do not relate to the landmark, they deal one damage to the hero. Where to go? The book of sagas will guide you. And how to reach the destination is up to you: will you go straight from Eydland to the Dreadlands through the Icy Ridge, or will you choose to sail around the mountains by ship through the Dark Sea?
After everyone has reached new regions, the encounter phase begins. If you find yourself in the same territory as an enemy, combat is unavoidable! First, plan your actions: draw 4 cards from your action deck, place them under your sheet, and draw 3 runes from the bag. Distribute them on the corresponding symbols on the action cards or, if there are none, move them to the miss slots. You can plan as long as you think necessary, or until the miss gauge is filled. Here, you understand, planning anything is already useless...
Don’t delay and attack! Play the actions of your cards in any order. Subtract the enemy’s defense from your attack total and deal as much damage as you can. If the enemy is still standing, they will counterattack. Pray for your armor...
 
Any hero becomes more experienced over time: by defeating enemies, you gain experience that you can spend to improve your actions. Discard 3 experience tokens, take 3 upgrade cards, choose one, and replace it with a previous level action in your deck.
If the enemies in your territory are defeated, you can begin your exploration. You can interact with the location and, if the conditions are met, gain its effect. You can also interact with the revealed landmark if, again, you meet its condition. This will allow you to read a new section of the saga book and learn about the subsequent events of the adventure.
Your journey through the lands of Trudvang continues until your decisions lead you to the "Final" section in the book of sagas. What will it be? No one knows...
Who won?
"Trudvang: Legends" is a cooperative game in which every hero is a member of one squad. This means that all players at the table either achieve victory or suffer defeat together. What to consider victory and what defeat is for you to decide. Only cruel gods know what resolution your story will come to in your adventure. Remember the main thing: whatever decisions you make in one adventure, their echoes will surely be heard in your further journeys...
