Legacy's Allure Review — Chess With Cards

Watch “Legacy's Allure Review — Chess With Cards,” a board game review for Legacy's Allure from Shelfside on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Shelfside on YouTube:

Shelfside reviews a card based wargame played on a hexagonal battlefield, Legacy's Allure! Combining chess gameplay with traditional card game design like attack, health, and keywords, 2 players will fight over the win condition focused around controlling the center hex. With each unit having their own unique stats, abilities, and keywords, gameplay becomes highly tactical, so developing strategies in both card selection and turn-by-turn actions becomes paramount when outplaying your opponent in this zero luck card game. Building your army and positioning it well when there's so many mechanics at play here culminates into a design that's as deep as it's thoughtful. However, this is just a demo, and we'll still need to see the final product after the game's kickstarter campaign.

About Legacy's Allure, from BoardGameGeek:

Legacy's Allure is a customizable, card-based wargame with no randomness. Imagine chess but with customization, deeper mechanics, and a high-fantasy theme. Legacy's Allure has been called a "streamlined wargame" due to its elegance and accessibility. Each player begins the game by drafting an army of an agreed upon size from their deck, also known as a "kingdom". Then players alternate taking turns in which they may perform a single action with one of their units: moving, attacking, or using an ability. After a unit acts, it is exhausted until the end of the round and cannot act again. Once all units on the board are exhausted, they are refreshed and a new round begins. The game ends at the end of the seventh round. At that time, the attacking player wins if they occupy the central hex with one of their units. Otherwise, the defending player wins. -description from the designer
