Talisman , warrior or wizard, was one of the first board games, back in the early 1980s. Currently there are many games that you can play in Virtual Hero, one of the games I have not played before is Altar Quest . But I did not consider these games in this article because they are not based on a story. There are a lot of "prisoner" games that you don't need to build your story on, but just about random monsters in random dungeons. It may sound funny, but here I want to discuss a game with a more narrative story.
If storytelling is an important part of the game, then the game needs a way to tell that story, and most importantly, a way to make decisions and discover different stories based on those decisions. The best way to do this is in a book with a series of sections, such as Fight Fantasy / Choose Your Adventure. For example, it's very close to becoming a Dragons Holt Legacy book. Probably the best book game I've played this year is God of Sleep and the best board game elements have a storybook that tells the story of the personal space and the first. But so am I, folklore: I suffer , and darkness has a fantasy theme. I Didn't Get to the Foolish Fireplace: The Fall of Avalon , but that one is from a book.
Another way to tell a story is through cards. The Seventh Continent 's performance was good. The advantage is that you can have more than one card with one number, so that you can get a random result by drawing "No. 10", and "Reading Paragraph 10" will always get the same result. The system used in the seventh continent is followed by one or more green cards with gold cards, and the various instructions to "restore", "throw" or "cancel" the cards are very complex. Basically, you create a kind of storytelling algorithm that has different results. Crow Skyrim from Elder Scrolls V This adventure game seems to use a very simple card story system.
Nowadays, some games use storytelling apps. Sometimes you still get books, but you can read articles through the app. In other cases, the application is only available. The obvious advantage is that instead of reading stories out loud, professional voice actors can read stories in multiplayer games. The problem is that you can no longer see the algorithm and you don't even know if the results are always the same or if random results are possible. We love Forgotten Waters where you can buy DLC online and get more content without adding any additional physical features to the game. Destiny has long promised to release a "community editor" that will allow players to customize their own mode . Destiny only makes small audio games, but Destiny is the cheapest game option mentioned in this post. Smallest miniatures too, but still very good at $45. The Forgotten Water is the same price, cheaper than printing books or cards, but Forgotten Water has less porch and no miniatures. Note that some games come with books, but you can use a third-party app like Forler to create sounds.
The game that reminds me the most of Dungeons and Dragons is the recently released Roll Player Adventures , which is on my Christmas wish list. It's based on a book, but each situation has a different pamphlet and the D&D adventures are very similar to the thin-cover pamphlets that preceded the fifth edition. I don't know why D&D is talking about rough skin these days. Role-playing adventures such as Sleeping God use map books and history books. This allows the diversity of maps for more than one board game, such as Altar Quest, but is much faster to set up than real-world maps. I'm looking forward to this RPG adventure as it combines an RPG in a box with an original dice game.
While I love games like this, they have one big problem: the lack of repetition. Roll Adventures costs $150 and contains 11 levels. Yes, you can play the campaign twice by choosing to support another faction. But this same game does not have the same repetition and can be repeated over and over again. On the other hand, I already have a lot of games and time is very limited, so I am good at playing these games for a while.
