Evil creatures threaten the land of Andor and the dragon Tarok fills the King Bradur’s subjects with mortal dread. But a small band of heroes bravely faces the fierce fight. Each player takes the role of a dwarf, wizard, archer, or warrior. In this cooperative fantasy game they embark on different dangerous adventures. For the so-called legends you have to act determined and effectively use the unique skills of every hero. If you are able to combine determination and strength, you improve the chance of winning dicing duels against skrals or wardraks. However, almost all activities take time. And if you are unable to achieve the aim of the legend in time, the evil creatures win. The exact aim of the game is revealed as the plot of the legend advances during the game. |
