About this deal

Alexander Pfestier is one of my favourite designers. He’s created, among other things, Great Western Trail, Mombasa, Oh My Goods!, Broom Service, Isle of Skye: From Chieftain to King and my favourite, Port Royal.

D&D MINIATURE FIGURES: The game includes 4 plastic mini figures that correspond with the heroes featured in gameplay. Dungeons & Dragons Adventure Begins is a board game with RPG elements that was published by Hasbro Gaming in late 2020. Unfortunately, Hasbro didn’t credit the designer(s) though I do know Allie Jennings worked on it. It features artwork from Henning Ludvigsen and Benjamin Raynal. However, Port Royal has endured. It’s a 2-5 player game and has had a number of expansions/re-releases (Port Royal is a re-implementation of Händler der Karbik, trader of the Caribbean). With a plethora of legacy and campaign games reaching the awareness of the masses, Port Royal has followed suit with a campaign game, Port Royal: An Adventure Begins. Port Royal – The Game I’ve actually had a fantastic time playing this game with my two kids. We’ve told some fantastic stories, like the time we returned home to our village and found that our friends and relatives had all been turned into zombies and we struggled to find non-violent ways to contain them instead of killing our loved ones. All of that was based on one Undead Townspeople card that had this for flavour texts, “Aunt Gertrude? Is that you?”

It is possible for a character to die if their HP drops to zero. This doesn’t mean that they are out of the game and they may return to the action by trading in all of their gold to revive themselves. Conclusion Creation is simplified in this game. Choices are limited to the pre-created cards included in box. Each member of your party plays as a different hero. There are four classes to choose from: fighter, sorcerer, bard or rouge. In this version of the game, each class is a different race. The fighter is a dwarf by the name of Tak or Ris Strongheart. The bard is an elf and the rogue a red dragonborn. The sorcerer is a human. Each character can be played as either a male or female. The hero tile can be changed depending on your preference, although the personality and combat tiles are not affected by that choice. After completing an adventure the group then moves on to the next space on their current board. At some points along the path, players are given the option to take part in a side quest. Interestingly you can split the party for these, with only some of the characters taking part. All side quest encounters are combat encounters. If a player chooses not to take part in a side quest they default as the DM for that encounter so as to keep them inovoled. Every map board has four core encounter spots and two potential side quests. COOPERATIVE FANTASY GAME: This fantasy board game is a portal to the monsters, magic, and heroes of Dungeons & Dragons. Players work together as they journey through the lands of Neverwinter.

When you reach the last spot on a board instead of drawing a random encounter card you instead face the boss monster’s henchmen. These are set cards that are different for each boss. There are a mix of both combat and non-combat encounters. Once you get past the Henchen encounter your group will move on to the next map. COOPERATIVE FANTASY GAME: This fantasy board game is a portal to the monsters, magic, and heroes of Dungeons & Dragons. Players work together as they journey through the lands of Neverwinter As I noted at the top of the review, my copy of Dungeons & Dragons Adventure Begins was missing the green elf miniature. After discovering this I attempted to get a replacement piece.D&D MINIATURE FIGURES: The game includes 4 plastic mini figures that correspond with the heroes featured in gameplay There are probably only a handful of people on the planet who have never heard the title Dungeons & Dragons. The words are synonymous with RPG gaming and have recently been brought to the attention of a whole new audience through features in TV and movies. Dungeons & Dragons Adventure Begins provides a simple but charming introduction to the world of fantasy gaming and is the ideal entry point for anyone wanting to start their adventure into D&D. The role of the DM passes from player to player as the game progresses, meaning that everyone gets to have a go at telling the story. But perhaps more importantly, it also means that everyone gets involved in the action and no one is left on the side-lines. Your four boss monsters are Felbris (Beholder), Orn (Fire Giant), the aptly-named Deathsleep (Green Dragon) and finally The Kraken.
