We are happy to introduce on BGA Legendary Inventors, a game by Fred Henry published by Bombyx (available now for pre-order, and in your shop on November 18th).
As we announced a few days ago, we are starting today (at 20:00 CEST) a fabulous Contest with this new game and an incredible prize: the winners are going to receive one copy of each future game produced by Bombyx and Monolith publishers, including Legendary Inventors and Conan, for the rest of their lives.
For all information about the contest, the FAQ is there. Don't hesitate to ask questions if you have any.
This is the biggest contest ever organized on BGA: we wish you all plenty of inventions and good luck for this challenge!
Now, let's talk about the game itself.
In Legendary Inventors, two to five players (4/5 on BGA) will each captain a group of four inventors working to bring their knowledge to life by creating useful objects to improve the world.
On your turn, you must send one of your Inventor to work on one of the available inventions. If your inventor has a skill level of 1 in Mathematics and Physics, then you may place one cube of your colour on a "Mathematics" space on the invention, and another on a "Physics" space.
When an invention card has no free space left, it is discovered! All players with cubes on this card must share the available awards. Starting from the player who placed the most cubes on the card, each player must choose between:
Once you have used your inventor, he/she is "busy" and you cannot use him/her any more. On your turn, instead of sending an inventor to work, you can "refresh" all your inventors. Of course, the timing of these actions is essential to win the game.
This game may look simple at first glance, but it is definitively not. The final scores are always very close (2-3 points difference), so every single action is important. You'll have to get the best from your team of inventors, considering all the available inventions on the table.
BGA would like to give a special "thank you" to Fred Henry and Bombyx for this game, for the crazy idea of organizing this Contest, and for allowing us to have this game here.
Now, let the best players win!
