Thames & Kosmos | 691747 | Legends Of Andor: The Family
Thames & Kosmos | 691747 | Legends Of Andor: The Family Fantasy Game | Andor | 2-4 Players | Ages 7+
The eldest player has the night marker in front of them. The eldest player turns the start card over onto the green side, reads it and the game begins. The events of the game always alternate in phases between day and night. The game begins on day 1. Each day, your heroes take turns performing actions. Each action costs you time in the form of sun discs. When your hero runs out of sun discs, they go to sleep. Once all of the heroes are asleep, day ends and night falls, at which point, creatures move. Once all of the creatures have moved, each player gets their sun discs back and a new day begins.
You can move your hero in any direction you like across the game board if it is your turn. You must always move them step-by-step from one space, over a white line, and into an adjacent space. You are therefore allowed to move from one space to any other adjacent space. However, you cannot set foot in the river. You can only cross it using the bridge.
Most actions are voluntary. The only mandatory action is revealing a fog token. Decide whether you want to carry out one or more of the actions on your target space. Actions do not cost you any sun discs. On the day of a hero, you will encounter some challenges – fighting off Gors or starting a battle. Always be prepared!
The game finishes as soon as you have found all 3 wolf cubs in the dwarven mine or the dragon has reached Rietburg. In both cases, turn the end card onto the green side and read what happens.

Nice and simple co operative adventure game that offers varying stories to play through.
Bought this to play with an 8 year old, while he probably couldn’t manage by himself with someone older to help run the enemy phase it is great.
The game offers alot of variability in terms of mixing up the missions you need to complete. The basic set up works great for younger players to learn the game and get used to it and the added options will allow the game to grow with the younger players as they get better at it.
Easy to learn. Different levels of play allow younger kids to acclimate and learn. Great team-based play.
It’s the first game we’ve had that gets unanimously voted to play in the family
The first playthrough made this feel worth the money already. There are several game dynamics that keep it interesting for adults, but they are all simple enough for a 5 year old to understand (with help). The four unique heroes add variability to each playthrough. We’re looking forward to playing this many times.
Excellent game to introduce the little ones to adventure board games. My 6 year old picked up the rules very easily. You play through the game once and you’ll have it down. Great quality piece and art also. Highly recommend this game. A lot of replay ability as there are 10 different quests that can be completed and you can later use your imagination and make up quests, remove 1 attack dice, etc to make the game more challenging if it becomes too easy.
We have a 5 year old and she really enjoys it. Fun for the grown ups to play too.
Brilliant game. Very well done and with many different quests from very easy to little more complicated. I’m playing with my almost 5yo no problem. He love to walk around the kingdom following the tasks and fighting with monsters. And obviously he has to dice for dragon.
I really recommend this game for every family looking for some more sophisticated board game experience.
Really enjoyed the first few games I’ve played. My 6 yr old and 8 yr old love it. I like it because it’s not an easy win. If everyone works together on a sensible strategy you’ll win, but 8 and 6 yr olds can’t always do both of those things, so it’s a good challenge.
I particularly like that the game changes each time you play it. The ‘fog of war’ aspect is clever and makes the game dynamic, and there are a few sets of goals you can switch between. All in all, I strongly recommend for any budding gamers and/or lovers of fantasy
This was easily the star of Christmas. Amazing game that my 5 year old can join in and enjoy same as the others. So far we have played it about 5 times and I could easily see the replay value is high.
El juego lleg muy bien y a tiempo.
Su mecnica es muy fcil para los nios
Poca dependencia al idioma
Aunque es rara la combinacin entre el Dragn y rescatar lobos, las misiones son entretenidas y los nios las disfrutaron mucho. Muy recomendable
The replayability is not too high. After going through all the missons, you could try to mix them, and increase the difficulty level, or try to use different characters, since each character has a slightly different ability.
I’ve played Legends of Andor and this spinoff exceeds expectations. Each game session was fun and lasted under an hour. For beginners I would recommend reading the rules more than once as some important rules are easily missed.
My four year old grandson loves this game! He picked up the instructions quicker than me and delights in the story variations, throughout. I can envisage many weeks/months of him seeking to maximise his enjoyment of all that Andor has to offer. Beautifully designed and manufactured from quality materials, I’d recommend to parents/grandparents of creative gameplay enthusiasts 4/5 and up.
Just one thing that i would like to complain: could we have smaller game box? (at least it’s not a square one, but a Splendor-sized box can already hold all stuffs very well)
Anyway, i am happy with the purchase!
