Watch “Dungeons & Dragons: Edge of the Realms - Review,” a board game review for Dungeons & Dragons: Edge of the Realms on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by David Niecikowski, PhD on YouTube:

Every adventure needs a good map! In Dungeons & Dragons: Edge of the Realms, you are explorers in the Forgotten Realms who will discover new terrain and magical places to prepare your adventurer's journey, but everyone else is roaming the lands at the same time, so think fast. On a turn, everyone draws a map card into their hand, then they choose and reveal one at the same time. Check to see whether you've completed quests and score points, then pass your hand to the left and play a new turn. Along the way, you want to match up terrain, activate landmarks, visit cities, and (of course) fulfill quests. After fifteen turns, you'll have a completed map ready for adventure, and the explorer who's netted the most points wins. EXPLORE THE KINGDOM! VISIT ENCHANTED LANDMARKS! CHART YOUR WAY TO VICTORY! Edge of the Realms is from acclaimed designer Phil Walker-Harding, with original tile art from Gerralt Landman! Every adventure needs a good map! You are explorers in the Forgotten Realms. Reveal new terrain and magical places to prepare your adventurer's journey. But think fast!
