Description
A terrible corruption has spread over the world of Deccaria. The royalty have succumbed to its maddening haze. The Golden Blade Syndicate (a 40-strong band of professional adventurers) has been called upon by the High Crown Council to solve the mystery of this growing blight.
Regicide Legacy is the follow-up to 2020's Regicide. The challenging co-op trend continues in this campaign game spread over 12 perilous missions. Players will need to work together to beat each mission, solving the mystery of corruption along the way.
Mission 1 familiarises the players with Regicide, allowing new players to come to grips with the system, but subsequent missions bring new enemies, dynamic challenges and powerful upgrades.
Recruit new adventurers to the party, access all-new classes and unlock powerful items that will change the way you play the game.
But be warned! The faint of heart need not apply. Only those brave enough to take on brutal beasts and perilous opponents should venture into the world of Regicide Legacy!

Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- campaign-structure — 12 missions with story prompts; opening boxes unlock new rules and narrative hooks

- deck-building — players build and refine a starting deck representing actions, attacks, and strategic options
- jokers-and-barriers — jokers pass barriers and can be claimed by the next player, influencing turn order and attack opportunities
- mercenaries/upgrades — coins spent on temporary deck additions that provide powerful or flexible options during missions
- permanent-corruption — certain cards become corrupted and are removed from the top of the deck, shaping future strategy
- royal-boss-dynamics — royals block magic by suit; barriers are overcome through specific actions and timing
- start-player-advantage — the player who starts the game has the freedom to spark early, potentially impactful openings
- stickers-and-rule-tweaks — stickers modify rules or card effects; changes are semi-permanent within the campaign and influence play
- suits-as-magic — cards’ suits determine magical effects used against progressively stronger royals

Quotes (from this video)
- This is a cooperative slash very popular solo game, a cooperative card game that you don't even need this.
- So, Regicide can be played with a regular deck of cards. This is a specifically made one just to make it look cool and everything, but it really is just a regular deck of cards.
- It's pretty interesting. It's very hard.
- I like the concept a lot.
- This is a small deck of cards. You can try this out with a regular deck of cards.
- I enjoy it. It gives me this crunchy puzzle to work with.
- the legacy version will likely be higher when I get around to reviewing that.
- it looks even cooler. It’s a nice little package.
