Start a legacy up in this ship
Risk Legacywas probably the most innovative board game of 2011. It took the classicRiskgameplay that we all know and hate, and turned it on its head by adding a multi-game campaign, built in mini-expansions with prerequisites for opening, and the unheard-of idea of making permanent changes to the board and components, including theirdestruction. When it released, I played it and declared that those mechanics would be the next big thing in board games.
Designer Rob Daviau has since left Hasbro, started up his own company calledIronwall Games, and has been working a new intellectual property with legacy style mechanics. Today, Plaid Hat Games (which you may know as the publisher behind the recentBioShock Infinite: The Siege of Columbia) officially announced Daviau’s new game,SeaFall.
SeaFallis described as a4Xstrategy game set during the age of sea exploration. As withRisk Legacy, it will have mechanics in place to advance a story and remember player decisions from game to game. No more about the mechanics has been made public, but we can expect to learn more before it releases in 2014.
