Description

Fallen is a two-player card and dice game with fast and challenging game play, gorgeous art, and plenty of re-playability all wrapped up in an ever-changing story.

One player chooses a Hero to delve deep within a dungeon, seeking the ultimate evil that waits below. Play as Seroth the Pit Fighter and fight to win at any cost, Merace the Sorceress and cast devastating spells, or Ranek the Thief striking from the shadows.

Every Hero comes with a unique character card depicting the hero and the special abilities and proficiencies of that particular character. Each hero also comes with nine unique skills to choose from which are divided into three skill trees catering to a particular proficiency. Ten signature Power cards also come with each hero, giving them special abilities that are themed to their style of play.

The second player takes on the role of the Dungeon Lord, summoning vile creatures and ancient spells to defeat the Hero. Play as the Archivist of Souls weaving dark spells that plague the hero, the Forge Master, part wizard and part machine, filling the dungeon corridors with horribly augmented monstrosities, or as Krogarn the Ogre king sending your primal horde and spirit magic to hunt down the adventurer.

Similar to the Hero, the Dungeon Lord has a character card that depicts the chosen form as well as showing the special abilities used by that character. In addition, ten signature Power cards come with each Dungeon Lord that are specific to style of villainy.

Unique Story cards bring the dungeons of Fallen to life. These cards deliver an immersive dungeon experience for players new to gaming, yet have deeper mechanics to keep even die-hard players on their toes.

After adventuring through the dungeon, the Hero and Dungeon Lord clash in an epic battle between good and evil. The challenges are fast and furious as cards are played and custom dice are rolled.

This is the game of Fallen.

Featuring

- Play as one of three legendary Heroes OR play as one of three sinister Dungeon Lords
- Custom dice
- Story cards that drive the action
- Customizable Heroes
- A full dungeon experience in 90 minutes

Pros

Hallelujah game: features the pass mechanism, special powers, many resources, and a scoring track bonus.
Feels like a companion game to Campania with similar dopamine hits and complexity.
Less direct interaction than Campania, making it more appealing to some.
Pass mechanism is a fun, passive-aggressive interaction.
Buildings provide different income adjustments and feel good when salvaged.
Incentivized to build higher in the last round for end-game scoring.
Smart design with few rules getting in the way.
Continuous loop of ascending the tower or building.
Brilliant handling of resource distribution and choosing between passive/triggered options.
Structurally approachable with a similar feel to Terraforming Mars or Gaia Project.
Smooth and clever gameplay.
Easy to score at the end of the game.
Rewarding with fun options to pivot.
Good level of competition without being multiplayer solitaire.
Not hard to learn or teach.

Cons

Box is slightly bigger than it needs to be, likely due to the insert.
Theming is a bit there but not a strong thematic game.
Rules/translation issues exist, with unclear wording and mistranslations.
The default turn order mechanism is not as good as the variant.
Heavier gamers might find it 'too smooth' or lacking 'crunch'.

Thematic elements

Looting a tower that has fallen from the sky.
A tower falling from the sky.

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)

action selection — The meat of the game where you are going to be taking actions out here on the main board until you have chosen to pass. The actions are relatively simple. You're going to be doing one of these four things. You'll either be doing the ascent, installing a device, negotiation, or you'll simply pass.
Building/Tableau — Installing a device is where you're building these buildings from your player board and placing them onto the level or the floor of the tower where your piece currently is.
Engine Building (light) — The four different types of buildings you place out there are four different levers that you're adjusting your income.
Income — During the income phase of each round, you gain resources, coins, or points based on your player board and cards.
Resource Management — You are trying to collect resources and turn them into victory points.
Set Collection (implied by scoring cards) — You're just adding up all of these cards as 10 which with whatever leftover points you might have.
Variable player powers — You can choose one of the characters that go into it. These all give you some kind of a little special ability that will give you some different starting resources and something that you can do maybe a little bit better than the other players.
Worker Placement (implied by passing) — When you pass, you are setting up your turn order for the next round. It's first come, first serve, and they're going to stay out there until the end of the round where they get cleared off in the preparation phase.

this is the only chance I knew I would have to create this quick little video and I wanted to give you a couple of updates
so we just got back from the GTS distribution com and play Day event in Atlanta where we shot a bunch of content some of that's starting to go up on the channel
but tomorrow I am leaving for hcon this is a convention in Halifax Nova Scotia my old Hometown where they have a focus on comic books movies TV shows board games video games all kinds of geeker and I've been invited to be a special guest for the on the board gaming side of things which is really nice
so I'm looking forward to that I'm going to sit on a couple of panels I'm going to be uh demoing and teaching games while I'm there and hey if you're in the hellofax or surrounding areas and you want to come down and play some games I I'll be there and I'd love to love to see you and hang out

right now though behind the scenes I am working on this this is the Robinson Cruso second edition rule book
I played the first edition sort of so I I had the first edition I remember I sat down with it put all the pieces out I read the first three pages of the rule book and then I closed that rule book put everything back in the box and I never touched it again I don't don't critique games but that rule book uh was not very good and I feel confident saying that because I now have the second edition rule book and it is much better
so I'm really working on trying to figure out the best way of presenting this information so I'm at the scripting stage right now so I feel confident that I can tell you guys this is a game that we'll be featuring on the Channel with an instructional video soon
so if you picked up the game maybe at Essen or it's one you're thinking about picking up yes there will be a watch it played video for that if you're interested

played the game once on camera and then gave his review of the tutorial and it at least he's being honest about it
all he kept doing was comparing it to another game the entire time
the cooldown system what they call it yeah so basically if you use it if you use this action you gotta way to turn you put it on your Tableau and then at the end of you turn it slides over and once it slides off then you can take it into your hand and use it again right
I don't like this it's the best way to do it because everyone forgets when they can take it back like you put it and you slide it and you get slides off it comes back to your hand it's it's really simple it makes it very easy to know when something when you get something back too and he's like I don't need that
he literally watches the guy play the game wrong make mistakes and then complain about the things he did wrong

Quotes (from this video)

honestly it is something special cuz I used to cover games like this all the time uh this is falling and this is by Sunny Bird games coming to the US via Capstone
the theme is interesting like there's a city coming down falling down name and you are trying to mine resources and put machines in there to get the resources and victory points and things like that as the board starts to shift down off you're also going to get resources as your machines come back
this game has a a lot of small little interesting parts that make this come together
this is the heart of the game you're going to be taking uh kind of a we'll call it minor action which is using these skill tokens
ultimately you're trying to do is stay in the upper areas because at the end of the round what's going to happen is is everything is going to go back up according to where it's at
falling it's not a heavy mechanical game in in theory it is actually a really smooth game and that's the reason why I got really attracted to it it's got so many interesting small things going on that make this mediumweight Euro game uh just a really the best way to say is interesting experience
there's so many mechanics that blend this together to to to fill your Euro medium mediumweight Euro appetite
