Customer Reviews

I got this to play with my 6-year-old son. It is pretty considerably specifically what it looks like: a cool small Lego dungeon-crawler. Each and every Heroica set (we also got Waldurk forest) comes with a specified number of 'rooms' and 'hallways' that can be combined in pretty much endless approaches. Then you populate the dungeon with monsters and treasure and have at it.
Fortaan comes with a whopping 11 rooms: 2 generic rooms with torches in the corners, 2 rooms with a little table, book, and chair, two fortress rooms with crenellated parapets, an entrance area with a tree and a drawbridge, a feast area with a fireplace and a chicken leg (no kidding), an enchanted pool with a tree and a frog, a prison room with a barred door, and a throne space with banners and columns. It also consists of 15 microfigures: 4 heroes, 6 goblins, 4 armored goblins, and 1 goblin king. For treasure, there are gold pieces, potions (speed, strength, luck, and well being), 2 treasure chests, and a cool microfigure helmet.
There are three books in the box: the normal instruction book, a rule book, and an "adventure" book with a mini-comic and 3 recommended dungeon layouts. The dungeon layouts are not presented in any certain order, but if you appear at the bits that are supposed to be included in each one particular, you can assemble them into a mini-campaign that ends with a confrontation in the throne space with the goblin king.
Every hero comes with a color-coded hero pack for storing their well being points, gold pieces, potions, weapons that they've purchased from the retailer, and enemies vanquished. My son and I have a residence rule that you can turn in every four vanquished enemies for 1 piece of gold.
The rulebook describes 2 strategies to play the game: a competitive mode in which the heroes race to complete the objective for that adventure (either finding to a particular space initially, or beating the boss monster), and a player-vs-DM mode in which a single player controls the negative guys. My son and I play it a third way. We every single take one particular hero and cooperate on acquiring by way of the dungeon, taking out all the monsters, and collecting all the treasure. There's not a lot of 'game' involved because there is no way to shed--heroes who shed all their wellness points can basically stop and regenerate them with die rolls--but we each have a lot of fun and it beats the heck out of Candyland.
There are presently four Heroica sets readily available: Fortaan (castle), Waldurk (forest), Nathuz (caves), and Draida (seaport). Fortaan is the largest. Waldurk and Nathuz each have eight-10 tiles (or rooms) and several monsters, spiders and werewolves in Waldurk, and bats and golems in Nathuz. Draida is tiny, with only 4 or 5 tiles. Any and all of the sets can be combined, and this is my son's favorite issue to do. We take all of the tiles, monsters, and treasures from Fortaan and Waldurk and set them up together to make 1 super-dungeon. The adventure booklet also shows how to link all 4 of the first wave sets together.
Is this worth it? Depends on your child's age and interests. For youngsters 6-10 I think it is a gold mine. It encourages tactical thinking, memory, and some very simple math. There is also lots of scope for creativity and spatial thinking, since the tiles and bridges can be laid out in so several diverse methods. The bits are cool and even played cooperatively it is a fun way to pass the time. There's absolutely nothing scary or occult in the game it is all pretty innocuous.
As for myself, I am quietly counting the days till my son is old adequate for stronger fare like tabletop wargames and RPGs. In the meantime, Heroica is a theme-heavy but light-play game that keeps us each entertained.

I'll come perfect out and state explicitly that I am a enormous fan of the Lego games and that our family members owns a rather embarrassing number of them. My seven-year-old daughter is something of a tomboy and is heavily into Legos. While all of the games appeal to her, she appears to have taken a certain shine to the Heroica line. As my husband is a massive Dungeons and Dragons fan as nicely as a Lego fan, these games seem to be the great convergence of the two interests. In other words, this game is a win, win, win as it pleases a assortment of interests and age groups in our household.
What is genuinely good about the Heroica system in comparison to other Lego games is that it really is even alot more diverse. You can play each and every game in the series separately or you can combine any quantity of them to generate larger games. This is nicely worth performing. We have 3 of the 4 Heroica games and each and every one particular contains at least 1 new element: new creature types, new heroes, and other objects like potions and weapons racks. What's specifically good about Castle Fortaan is that it contains 4 numerous heroes, all four potion forms, and a weapons rack, so it is the most complicated of the four games in the series. Although I would not say that this tends to make the game educational in a classic sense, I like that it encourages my daughter to be analytical and strategic in her choices. Prior to we even play the game, the 3 of us generally end up talking about the advantages of playing as the knight versus playing as the barbarian, and the addition of the weapons adds an additional layer of complexity. This truly has helped us to teach my daughter how to view moves from a range of angles and to weigh her choices, resulting in her moving beyond the rather simple Candyland sort of strategy to games and into the realm of technique.
The other good feature of this series is that the games are highly customizable--this a single in particular. This is the biggest of the four games, so it comes with the most pieces, permitting for the construction of numerous rooms and connection pieces. The game comes with a guide to setting up about three distinct configurations, but you can effortlessly make your personal basically by attaching the rooms to each and every other in various approaches. This is yet another region exactly where some greater-level thinking comes into play, for the reason that it has helped us to work with my daughter on some reasoning and logic skills, as well as a great deal more complex patterns. Initially, she was prone to setting the game up in a single line, but we've worked with it to show her how generating different routes to the ending can make the game alot more intriguing, as well as how to add incentives to each and every route, such as putting potions or gold pieces or treasure chests in strategic locations.
The fundamental concept of the game is fairly hassle-free. Due to the fact there are numerous scenarios that can be set up, there are different end points, such as defeating the boss or collecting crucial items--or each. Every player rolls to move and then, when a creature is encountered, rolls to see what the outcome of the battle is. Every monster kind has its personal strength value, with the boss's becoming the highest. Defeat implies that your hero loses a number of well being points equivalent to the strength of the creature. If your hero loses all of their health, you have to devote as a number of turns as you will need "resting" until you regain all of your health (in this case, the die rolls indicate the number of health points regained each turn).
As with all Lego games, the constructing is component of the fun. Upon 1st opening the box, you're presented with many plastic packages containing all of the pieces you need to construct the "board", along with the hero and creatures pieces, pieces for building potions, and so on. As with all issues Lego, I never cease to be amazed with the methods in which those little blocks can be arranged to build distinct objects. Constructing is fairly straightforward and not as well difficult. My daughter can often build each component with minimal guidance from either me or my husband.
This game has offered us with a great number of hours of enjoyment and promises quite a few even more to come. Even though we all get pleasure from board games, I come across that it is sometimes hard to get games that we can all delight in playing together. For the most element, Lego games entertain all of us equally, so we're all equally eager to play. This is specifically true of Heroica since it is enjoyable not only to play it, but also to style the board. In reality, usually we devote so a lot time getting enjoyable setting the game up that we do not even get to the playing component.
