Video Review: Lego Games' HEROICA

Continuing our series of informative board game reviews, The Order of the Mighty Goose proudly presents Lego Heroica!

Since our first playtest, we've had a chance to check out a few more of the sets, try out the different classes, and fine tune our house rules.  Honestly, it seems this game gets more fun each time we play it.






The smallest set, Draida Bay, is a fine entry point into the series, though it doesn't have the weapons and treasures that the larger sets have.





The real fun starts when you combine the different sets to create campaigns and such.





And of course, making up house rules adds to the replay value. Try advancing monsters one space towards the closest hero at the end of each round to up the difficulty, or playing a co-op quest against a GM who controls the monsters.

All said, like all these Lego Games, Heroica is an innovative and entertaining family game, and a solid entry into the Action/Fantasy genre for younger players or anyone looking for good casual fun.
