Thorgal: The Board Game is a cooperative storybook adventure game – pretty common genre recently, very suitable for multi-scenario experience. Players take on the roles of Thorgal, his wife Aaricia, their son Jolan, and Kriss – a deadly female warrior – and go on a series of adventures.

The game consists of 10 stand-alone scenarios, each taking roughly 90-120 minutes of play. Scenarios do not form a campaign nor have any legacy features, so they can be played by different playgroups and over an extended period of time.

What I like is the game’s unique action selection mechanism. In this new approach, actions have varying power depending on which other actions have already been taken. Players must carefully plan their strategy and sequence of actions taken, as this directly impacts the strength of the effect of each action.

Today we shall look at beautiful components of this great game – more to come!

Enjoy!
