About this deal

I love the double-layer boards, which hold my hard-won experience, gold, soul gems, and alchemical items all in one place. I love the little miniatures, including a charming Khajiit. The only thing missing, in my opinion, is a little home somewhere in the mountains that I can fill up with cups and bowls and butterfly wings. But the gameplay itself is brisk, relatively simple, and a whole lot of fun. I have four World Quests already in play and I draw another one, which one do I need to fail? The players may choose which World Quest to fail.

This demo of the first first Campaign lets play either a prequel tutorial, or the 1-4 player first, second or third Chapter's of Campaign 1, you will need to read the set up instructions as all the components are provided but not set up for Chapter 1. I’ve been tooling around this little two-dimensional world for weeks now, poking at the game here and there while passing through the room. The pace of play feels more like a puzzle than a traditional board game, and I’m fine with that. In fact, this may be the first time I’ve really connected with the solo mode in a board game for an extended period of time. The players must keep an eye out as the threat increases across Skyrim as Dragons, Daedra, Trolls, and more roam the lands and wreak havoc across the holds. Players need to work together to keep the lands free, whilst balancing the demands of their most important quests. Whenever a monster is prompted to move towards a Stronghold, the card or event that prompts that movement also specifies what happens when the monster reaches the Stronghold. For example, the Event “Daedric Invastion” says: “Move one Daedra token toward the nearest Stronghold. You are surviving members of the Blades, a legendary group who long protected the Empire of Tamriel! Abandoned by your former allies, you must work together with your fellow adventurers to defeat enemies, embark on intriguing quests and face the looming threat that seeks to destroy everything you swore to protect.Roaming Monsters move as a result of Event cards or specific game events (such as results of Quests.) At the beginning of the game (what’s in the demo), Roaming Monsters are more infrequent and move less often. Later on, there are Chapter-encompassing conditions that spawn and even move all Roaming Monsters of a specific category every turn, making them much more impactful. There are plenty of different ways in which these Monsters are used, and they take center stage in some Chapters. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim The Adventure Game is a campaign-based adventure game for one to four players. Players control one of six heroes typical to the setting, exploring Skyrim, battling enemies, and completing various quests. You’ll gain new equipment, allies, and skills as you progress, and the game includes mechanics for trading and crafting. You are surviving members of the Blades, a legendary group who long protected the Empire of Tamriel! Abandoned by the empire, you must work together to thwart a plot which threatens the whole of Skyrim When it was announced in late 2021, many saw The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim - The Adventure Game as little more than a goof. Many wryly remarked that this would be the last time Skyrim would be relaunched in any form, a kind of final physical apotheosis for the classic video game. More than a decade after its release, Skyrim remains playable on virtually every console and computer platform known to humankind. So, why not a board game as well?

If I have a Heavy Armor equipped, would I automatically fail a Sneak skill test out of Combat? No. The rules regarding Heavy Armor and Sneak only apply in Combat. Skyrim - The Adventure Game is set long before the events of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. Players take on the role of Blades, agents of the emperor driven north by conflict in the heart of Cyrodiil. Across three scenarios, one to four players must work to mitigate a violent civil war, and then uncover a conspiracy before time runs out. The narrative plays out using a sequence of numbered cards, not unlike the sprawling cooperative horror game The 7th Continent, or the tight and agile narrative engine at the heart of Fantasy Flight Games’ Fallout.Is there a Solo mode? Yes. Players who play solo, can either decide to play with one character, following the specific Solo rules provided or to play with more than one character. In this endlessly replayable game of branching quests and mysteries to uncover, you take on the role of a brave Adventurer, in co-op or solo adventures with hundreds of hours of gameplay. Build your unique character, upgrade your equipment, delve into dungeons and travel across the Holds of Skyrim. Gain experience, find treasures and battle Draugr, Daedra, Dragons and more. Play through six chapters of two hugely replayable campaigns spanning 25 years in the history of Tamriel. One of the players I started playing the campaign with cannot attend the next session. Is it possible to “freeze” his character for the session and keep on playing? Unfortunately, no. The game is structured so that the number of players affects some setup requirements, therefore changing the number of players could result in the chapter not being finished. In that situation, we recommend asking the other players to use their character cooperatively. The world of Tamriel, where all of The Elder Scrolls video games are set, has a rich history that extends for thousands of years. Skyrim - The Adventure Game similarly has its place in that timeline.

Added 2 new City and 2 new Wilderness cards. Each of these 4 cards opens a new Personal Quest, with several steps each. Added Encounters, Equipment and Status cards for the 4 new Personal Quests. Total new cards added: 25. Updated the rulebook. Finally, I’m left to wonder if it’s possible to escape combat with roaming enemies like you can with dungeon battles? And if one succeeds in escaping (assuming one can) how does this affect the players move? (limited to that one tile move perhaps?) I mean, seems kinda harsh if these battles are entirely “fight to the death” scenarios.

I have The Elder Scrolls: Call to Arms and a lot of Nord minis. Can we play with more than one character of the same type? The game was created with the idea of each player with a different character type. Although it’s not forbidden to play with more than one character of the same type, the players will have to share the character card of that specific type as reference. The main way that players interact with the game is through pursuing quest lines that are triggered by players drawing campaign cards at the beginning of the game. This aspect of Skyrim: Adventure Game is actually quite impressive, as quest lines are randomly assigned to players - as if their character has stumbled across this storyline in their own unique way - before smoothly leading from one quest into the next via a kind of choose-your-own-adventure-style system. The Skyrim board game comes with a collection of miniatures representing various different species. Whilst we will do everything we can to meet the delivery times above, there may be factors outside of our control and we cannot guarantee delivery within this time frame. The game’s contents do an excellent job faithfully recreating the look of the Skyrim videogame. However, their success is tarnished a little by one thing – inconvenience.
