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!

- So it almost feels
- I had as much fun playing it as I did teaching it.
- It almost feels like programming it.
- They call it an auto battler uh after sort of the video games that are auto battlers but tag team.
- It had the vibes of flip seven, but not the mechanics. You're rolling dice and there's all these different denominations of money
- The rub is that if you haven't banked your money... you bust and you lose all your unbanked money.
- So, it definitely I missed this. This is that's interesting.
- and it was definitely if you like playing flip 7, you'll like this sort of game. There's a lot of these gambly, you know, have a night with hot streak, flip seven and rolly when it comes out. Uh it was just a blast.
- And that I think speaks to why the trend not only at Gen Con, but the trend in the hobby is going towards more of those types of it's it's at least definitely the trend in my personal taste.

- the nomination lists are more important than the awards because you can go out and just buy any of these and play them.
- We're nominating them now, and as I always say, the nomination lists are more important than the awards because you can go out and just buy any of these and play them.
- These are going to be games that are fantastic to teach to someone who is not necessarily part of our fantastic little world of games. Something to get them in the door, get them excited about board gaming, get them introduced to all these amazing things you can do on the tabletop now.
- And so, we got together a group of 50 plus people, that's Dice Tower staff and the other reviewers, different reviewers, and we vote on the nominations, and so we're going to present them to you.
- Well, too bad to each of those nominations because you have to go up against the other four. That is a tough slate.
- if you enjoy heavy strategy games, you were eating well in 2024.
- This is a category for games that play really well with two. It doesn't mean they are exclusively two, although that's usually what is nominated, but it's just a great game for two players.
- This is something that for the last several, several years has become an increasingly large segment of the board gaming hobby.
- Not only are those like pretty strong solo games, but they're also some of the games that were mentioned in top lists of last year. That shows where the category has come.
- So, these are games that do something different. We see a lot of the same stuff, which isn't necessarily a bad thing because same can be good and comforting. But, something that does something unusual or different or feels fresh, here's some games that meet that category.
- My goodness, you now have to ask every time you sit at the table, 'Wait, is this cooperative or competitive?' That's something that was unheard of, you know, a decade ago even.
- I used to not really appreciate how good party games can be.
- So, this is going to be just that implementation of the theme, really immersing you into this world and this setting, uh doing something cool, or maybe just showing you a different kind of light on a thing that you're familiar with.
- I always find it odd how the new designer category often also every year seems to dominate best games of the year category, and I like that a lot.
- Artwork is something that just walking by a table, you can convince me to play a game just by showing me a good box cover. And I think that it's something that can We talked about the theme, can really sell that, but it's that first entry point in the game, and can grab your attention.
- Games are a total production, and what this category is about is saying, 'This is the most impressive full productions of a board game we've seen this year.'
- Now, in this category, we have 10 um 10 nominees, and they kind of encompass the whole package here. You know, we're we're looking at the mechanisms, we're looking at the theme, we're looking at the artwork, just all of it. Which one brought its best to the table?
- Games that are fantastic
- Then our next one is Codenames, a game that really brought party games back into the light, especially word team party games.
- This has sold a gazillion copies.
- And that is Pandemic Legacy Season 1.
- But this is the game. It wasn't the first legacy game, but it was definitely the one that people that kind of exploded and changed
- changing the landscape.
- Talk about a game that truly shook everything up.

Quotes (from this video)
- The most colorful area control game out there when this one comes from old sworn authors.
- And this is the best mobile adaptation in board game form that well I have ever definitely played.
- The card play is fantastic because it's a scar resource because whenever you have to play a card, you have to pay with other cards.
- The blackjack combat where you're pushing your luck by drawing these cards and you don't know how close the other player is.
- There is one thing uh rules. I mean, the rule book is good, right? Uh covers most things, but there are some ambiguities we couldn't solve and couldn't find.
- First thing, the board immediately bent once we opened up the box.
- And the biggest thing is this is the deluxe version. You can get also a version with standies like simple version but this particular version is so shiny that you can't even really appreciate how good it looks.
- Star Wars is all about fighting.
- For me, one of the coolest things is just how it looks. It feel like it just looks epic.
- It is medium weight. So, the basic rules are super simple. You just like move your armies and then shoot.
- what I really love about this game are just the minis, the feel, the ease of play.
- If you don't care for Star Wars and want to try a miniatures game with moving around using household objects for terrain, how about little soldiers?
- A board game that you probably will play just once already half of the audience gone.
- It's a skill issue.
- Yet, the more I play it, the more boxes I open up, the more the game change cuz each level feels completely different.
- It's a lovely small package, even though a heavy one physically. There's so much content.
- Pandemic Legacy is also a legacy game with a simple card system that keeps on building up with stickers, with new stuff, which has a story.
- Ever played Ark Nova and thought, "This action selection system is so great. I wish somebody would take it and put it in a medieval Japanese themed war game."
- The best thing about this game is the way you get points.
- Do you want to do that?
- it is on the longer side, especially with a lot of table talk, and the other, it's not available yet, but it is on game found right now, and I can't wait to get my hands on it when it comes out to put it in my collection.
- This has been out for a while, but I just now played it, and well, I think it's worth your time as well.
- It's very random. You can do what you want, but the dice will decide the destiny of your armies.
- But isn't that fun?
- Unpredictable. You don't know what's going to happen. Just like in real battle like like in real battles with orcs, dragons, and whatnot.
- This is my actually alternative. I mean, if you compare it, then this is more thematical. This is bigger, grander, more event cards, more things. Yet, the game The Battle of Five Armies, which is this one, is more compact, a bit easier, and definitely more about just fighting and less about everything around the story.
- I really, really enjoy it, and I'm one of the lucky guys who have a good friend who already has this copy.
- Yet, the game The Battle of Five Armies, which is this one, is more compact, a bit easier, and definitely more about just fighting and less about everything around the story.
- War of the Ring is quite plenty for me and it is a better game.
- This one kind of maybe fills in the gaps if you finish. Oh, you can start with this one.
- It's like to learn the system. pretty.
- And then you move on to the best of the three. Yes, I just said three. It's Dune. Dune's the best.
- The thing I love the most about this game are the visuals and the components.
- it's just such a chill, great game about animals.
- The other thing I really love about this game is the ease of play. It's almost like a chill game. You can have your cup of tea and just play around.
- But if you also want a chill experience, then the alternative for this game would be Cascadia.
- Well, the way opposite of that cute little game is this very aggressive, very good game.
- Getting this game to your table is going to take a lot of work. It's quite complex.
- All of your units are special with their own powers, with their own stats that you can upgrade.
- And if you're brave enough, you can actually turn this character sheet to the other side and actually see that you can upgrade your fortress as well with lots of powers that break the game and feel epic.
- Is it compensating with something? Cuz everything seems to be huge here. It's hugely good.
- It's hugely good. You mean it's full of goodness.
- It's on the lengthy side. That's another minus. It's a biggie.
- Now, we have to find a replacement. These five we these five games we ranked as mine mine collection. So, which one will come on top?
- I'm just going to start out and eliminate Star Wars Legion. It is good, but it is very Star Wars centered.
- So, by the way, sad.
- these in general are the best games we played this month.
- So, sure, this is fantastic. Going to play it more. I already played more. Great game. Try it out if you want a cool simple leg game.
- So, Cloudspire will be our game of the month. It's really interesting, different. Yes, heavy. We'd like those here.
- Um, and it's something uh that we would love to play more and more and more.
