{"product_id":"b-grade-bardsung-legend-of-the-ancient-forge","title":"*B Grade* Bardsung: Legend of the Ancient Forge","description":"\u003cp\u003eYou begin with a single tile and a destination. What unfolds is a branching, labyrinthine dungeon of dangerous enemies, wandering monsters, challenging puzzles, and valuable treasure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Bardsung is a game of choosing your path as you seek to inspire the bard’s songs and live your legend. From your physical passage through the dungeon to your journey of building your character into a fabled hero, your choices define your experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Because dungeons are procedurally generated (like those in a roguelike video game), no two playthroughs will be the same. Lay tiles to build the dungeon as you go, choosing your direction from the options at hand to seek loot and avoid threats.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Encounter different enemies and challenges each time through Event, Battle, and Challenge decks that spawn new foes and throw curveballs in the form of poisoned weapons, traps, reinforcements, non-player characters, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Round length, turns, and enemy activations are governed by a dynamic marching order that will keep you on your toes, encouraging you to adopt strategies that control the ebb and flow of initiative.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e As you continue your campaign, level up your hero to upgrade their stats, access powerful new abilities, and enhance existing skills. You have the freedom to either follow your hero’s designated path, or to create your own bespoke hero with a unique set of traits and arsenal of attack combos.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Enter intelligent and dangerous combat where positioning and teamwork are vital for maximizing your attacks and working with your allies. Your abilities can’t be used over and over, so choose your moment wisely. And beware, for the same enemy will behave differently from one encounter to the next. Just like your hero, enemies can level up, evolve their attacks, and can even learn to hold grudges against heroes who defeat them...\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Bardsung can be enjoyed as a cooperative game of up to five players, or as an exciting solo player experience. Explore the dungeon in standalone sessions, or as part of a far-reaching narrative campaign that evolves based on your decisions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e An RPG dungeon explorer, Bardsung takes the best elements of traditional roleplaying games and beloved dungeon-crawling classics, and combines them with a dash of contemporary gameplay to create a powerful new experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e With swift setup and easy-to-grasp mechanics taught by an intuitive tutorial-based rulebook, your descent into the dungeon will be quick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e Inspire the songs. Live your legend. Become Bardsung.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Please note that all items within our outlet section contain a level of damage to the packaging, which in no way effects game play.
