IELLO Legendary Forests

Product Information

A key concept is the creation of sizeable forests of the same trees, with more points gained if the forests are closed rather than open. What we didn’t expect is how quickly they would come to market and be completely different from anything else we’ve played. After going through the rules, I saw that it was going to be a simple game to learn, but one that would have some great competitive opportunities.

Players must carefully choose the color of scoring tokens that they will place in their forest to have the best score possible as there are a limited number of each color.

I also find that scores end up being pretty similar once players all know the game pretty well, which may or may not land well with your group. There aren’t really turns; instead, each round, the Architect will reveal a tile and all players will add it to their play areas.

NMBR9 provided bonus tiles as a variant expansion that essentially did that; I wonder if Legendary Forests will ever get any sort of additional content? After each player has placed all twenty tiles, the landscape creation is complete and based on the placement of the trees in relation to the completed circles, the player with the most points wins! Most of the numbers on the World tiles are on a dark background, but a few are on a light background.

This phase is only triggered when the tile drawn by the Architect has a number on a light background . Join the community and come discuss games like Codenames, Wingspan, Brass, and all your other favorite games!
