Kingdom Come Deliverance - In Depth Unboxing - Not Bored Gaming

About Kingdom Come: Deliverance – The Board Game, from BoardGameGeek:

It is 1403, and the prosperous Kingdom of Bohemia stands in the midst of a political crisis. Kings and nobles wage their wars of power and intrigue, while ordinary people seem powerless in the grand scheme of things. But change is in the wind. Clothed in homespun garb, with naught but a simple dagger to hand, you have lived your whole life as a commoner, in the village where you were born. But must things remain that way? Embark on an adventure filled with peril, but also opportunity. Deal with unpredictable locals, train to become a skilled archer, a silver-tongued orator, or even a cunning thief. Whatever path you choose, let it be your own. Kingdom Come: Deliverance - The Board Game is an epic adventure game mixed with euro elements, set in 15th-century Medieval Bohemia. Over the course of several in-game days and nights, players will try to leave their mark, whether by helping the local nobility, making important connections, fighting enemies, or stealing everything from tiny items to horses. While the game is competitive, it doesn't pit players against one another, but instead allows them to succeed through their own achievements. It uses a deck-building system and emphasizes player freedom, creating narratives through its mechanics. The starting setup may provide some direction, but the game's open-world nature encourages players to pursue their own goals and shape their stories as they wish. In Kingdom Come: Deliverance - The Board Game, iconic designers Tomáš Holek and Vlaada Chvátil join forces for the first time to bring Warhorse Studios' award-winning Kingdom Come: Deliverance video game to the tabletop in an epic official adaptation. Hero Progression Develop your character through the decisions you make along the way. Exchange experience for skill cards, allowing you to specialize and prepare for card tests needed to perform main actions. Tests will determine whether you succeed in stealing, fighting, befriending others, hunting, training your skills, or even picking herbs. Acquiring and playing suitable skill cards for their main effects will get you off to a good start. Equipment matters as well. Weapons, armor, clothing, or various other items can significantly help you. Hunting deer without a bow is rarely a good idea, and making a strong impression is much easier when you're not wearing dirty rags. City Storylines & Side Quests Before you even set out, you'll choose three major storylines-one for each city on the map. During the game, you can take part in developing these storylines, influencing how they progress and ultimately conclude. Each city offers three different storylines that can be mixed and matched, creating a wide variety of possible combinations across multiple playthroughs. Will you help with the wedding preparations, investigate the brutal attack in Neuhof, or race against time before a life-threatening disease wipes out the whole village? The choice is yours, and so are the consequences. It's not only about the big events but also about the local people. Embark on side quests to help villagers with their problems, and gain experience and resources you'll surely find useful. An Open World of Opportunities and Challenges There will be times you might need to visit the armorer, sell freshly gathered herbs, or wash your dirty shoes. City merchants aren't just waiting out in the open; you'll have to venture inside the walls. Watch your step, though! Encounters with guards, drunkards, and locals might cause you some hassle, but they can also surprise you with interesting opportunities. Need a rest? Have your food supplies gone bad? Visit inns to spend the night, fill your hungry stomach, and eavesdrop on the latest local gossip and rumors. There might be some quests waiting for you. And if you got dirty doing who knows what, find the nearest bathhouse to get cleaned up. You could also consider a church visit, if you're feeling guilty... In Kingdom Come: Deliverance - The Board Game, no two playthroughs will be the same. The choices you make, the people you meet, and the opportunities you pursue will always create a unique and unforgettable adventure. -description from the publisher
