Game Overview and Rules Explanation: Lost Legacy

Game Overview and Rules Explanation: Lost Legacy
Board Game: Lost Legacy
Board Game: Love Letter
Seiji Kanai's Love Letter has been discussed and reviewed and filleted and chopped and grilled and salted and eaten many, many times on BGG, so I regret to say that I add my take on the game in the video below – but I do so only in service of providing an overview and rules explanation of Kanai and Hayato Kisaragi's Lost Legacy, which Japanese publisher One Draw debuted at the Tokyo Game Market in April 2013 and which sold out its 200 copies in a half-hour. After all, Lost Legacy is a spin-off of that earlier game, so it made sense to draw comparisons between the two, which thus necessitated a one-minute explanation of that game.

Okay, enough with the background material. Let's go to the videotape!


(Thanks to Hayato Kisaragi for sending a copy of the game for this overview!)
