We delve into the entire campaign of what used to be the BGG #1 game of all time! This legacy game which is full of unlockables to manipulate the map over the course of 12 scenarios was extremely novel in the late 2010s. But how does it hold up in 2026? It still has the Pandemic core of cooperatively saving the world through manipulating the disease cubes while trying to set collect the right colors of hands by positioning accordingly. Pandemic Legacy has more variable player powers and multi-use cards as you open boxes depending on how the scenarios go! Can this Rob Daviau and Matt Leacock game about saving the world over dozens of hours of gameplay? Or maybe we were better off playing Fate of the Fellowship? This is not a review, and anyone who comments claiming this is a review should pay the consequences!

"Blood and Skulls: The Crucible is a dark fantasy narrative campaign game about the cost of power. Guide flawed heroes through a dying world shaped by corruption, sacrifice, and impossible choices. Every decision matters, and every victory comes with a price.
Fight through intense encounters using a structured turn system that blends positioning, risk, and resource management. Corruption, Madness, and Addiction are core systems that transform your character and shape your path. Play through a multi-act campaign where decisions, outcomes, and alliances influence future scenarios, enemies, and rewards. Customize your hero through gear, Crucible Paths, magic schools, and personal Secrets tied to your alignment. Some choices may lead to rivalry, conflict… and even deadly confrontation between players.
Each playthrough tells a different story because your choices define who you become."
