Description

LEGACY OF YU is a solo-only, fully-resettable, nonlinear campaign game in which you step into the role of the legendary hero of the Xia Dynasty, Yu the Great. It will be your job to build the canals ahead of the impending flood, while also defending your growing village against neighboring barbarian tribes. With each game, stories will be shared and new gameplay elements added. The campaign features a self-balancing system which adapts to how well you are doing. The campaign ends once you either win or lose seven games. During the reign of Emperor Yao, the people of ancient China were constantly plagued by deadly floods along the Yellow River. Eager to put an end to the devastation, Yao selected Gun, one of his officials, to devise a plan. After nine years of failed attempts using dams and dikes, Gun's employment came to a questionable end. After his passing, Yu inherited his father's work. Learning from Gun's failures, Yu set out to construct a series of canals to direct the surging river into nearby fields and smaller waterways. While elements might change from game to game, the aim for each remains the same: to finish the Canals before it’s too late! You win the game if you successfully build all 6 Canal sections and survive till the end of the current Round. The new elements will be added during each game, and also at the end of each game, regardless of whether you win or lose. You'll read stories of triumph and trial, success and suffering. All this is driven by the Story Book and Story Deck. The campaign is non-linear and resettable - meaning that each time it will play out differently. Once you're done with the campaign, you can reset to play again, or pass it on to a friend for them to enjoy. No components are destroyed or modified when playing. Number of Players: Solo (1 player). For Ages: 14+, Playing Time: 60 min.

  • Great and rewarding solo game with variable campaing difficulty
I really enjoyed playing through the entirety of Legacy of Yu's campaign. Each individual game takes about an hour to complete with a full campaign play-through ranging from 7 to 14 games. I must say that learning the rules isn't super straightforward but they become second nature over time. Each time you win a campaign game, you flip over a Legacy card that will more challenges to your game, raising the difficulty. Each time you lose, the opposite happens, the Legacy card you flip will make the game slightly easier. This makes it so the difficulty level will ultimately adjust to match your skill. Great cost effective way to spend some money and have fun for 10-12h. Once the campaign is finished you can even rearrange the cards and gift the game to someone else. Nothing is wasted and destroyed. ... show more

  • Im thrilled with this solo experience
Deck building, set collection, worker placement, resource management. This game gets you playing quick... set up and tear down are one of the main reasons i keep this one nearby for a quick play (less than an hour). The story is well developed and to the point with nice changes every game or every other. Losing a couple of times is not the end of a campaign. As progress is achieved the game tends towards difficult but can be modified/adjusted. The gist... you have to leverage your villagers, and resources to combat famine, barbarians and the impending flood by building water canals. The design is clever, compact but with enough variability that each game will present its own challenges. When you think youve got it... think again. Once done i will probably play the campaign once more, and then pass it to someone else to experience it. (Unless expansions come for it) ... show more
