Integrated with the free NOSEDIVE smartphone app available on iOS and Android, the game includes over one thousand unique experiences to impress players' important friends and improve their social standing.
The game thrusts players into a cycle of epic sagas in which their achievements change not only the world itself, but the very rules by which gods, peoples and nature interact. They will quest through an interwoven series of adventure books, and the results of their choices will echo through history: changing the relationships between sovereign nations, usurping kings, creating new waygates, or even locking and unlocking parts of the map.
Change in Trudvang Legends manifests physically as parts of the board actually change, making the actions of previous hero generations affect future sagas. However, the changes are only as permanent as long as history remembers them, which makes the game endlessly replayable, and even playing the same adventure book repeatedly will have a completely different feeling because the world itself has changed. Heroes, following a path of destiny, will even become historical fixtures as they become kings, guildmasters, or even gods!
• Hey, here's something I've actually seen — the anime My Hero Academia! Well, two episodes of it anyway. As with many television series, I find it interesting, but not compelling enough to get me to watch it over doing other things, such as writing up this post.
This 2-4 player game from designer Steve Warner and publisher Shinobi 7 has a straightforward description that doesn't say much about the gameplay and what distinguishes it from other games: "In My Hero Academia: The Card Game, you must recruit super-powered students to your hero agency. Select students with the best combinations of quirks (i.e., super-powered abilities) to complete challenging missions and become the mightiest agency around!" Even so, my son might want to try it anyway since he did watch the entire series. Dang kids and all their free time...
• Level 99 Games has revealed that season 3 of its EXCEED Fighting System card game will feature a dozen characters from Capcom's video game franchise Street Fighter. As with previous seasons of EXCEED, each box contains four fighters that can be played on their own against one another, and boxes can be combined — whether from the same season or different ones — to bring new competitors together. These games should be available in Q1 2019.
