Super fast write ups of early/mid Winter… ย โ๏ธโ๏ธ
Hello all!
Snow has fallen here on Long Island… and snow has melted. The temps have remained below freezing for more consecutive days than in years past… <sigh> but, this just means more time for gaming! ย Well… or uh… traveling. ย Ahem.
Anyhoo… I’ve spent the last few days getting my tax info prepared… and doing the same for my Uncle’s taxes.. and well… it’s going to be another “copy/paste the basic write-up into each new game” sort of day. And laughably, the next little section is copied from my December write ups… and is still relevant! Someone save me… from myself! ๐๐
Is that a smidge underwhelming? ๐ฌ
Why yes… yes it is.
But will that let me finish in time for a late dinner? ๐
Why yes… yes it will (or at least it should). ๐ Haha. My LIFE! ๐
Here we go… buckle up. ๐ป

Description
Title Blades 2: Rise of the Unfolders is HERE! A fantastic continuation of the story… with more amazing artwork and a diverse storyline! Tim and Ben Eisner have outdone themselves again! ย โค๏ธ๐
The Tournament of Heroes has ended and you have been named as one of the Tidal Blades, elite guard and champion of our island realm. But you have no time to rest on your laurels as the Fold, the frozen section of space and time that protects Naviri from the sea monsters, is becoming ever more erratic. The High Engineers of the Citadel have entrusted you with the Nexus, a device that will let you venture into the Fold, unfreezing time. With your fellow Tidal Blades, you must enter the Fold to unlock its mysteries as you attempt to recover the old guard Tidal Blades who were trapped inside when the Fold was created. On your journey to become a true Tidal Blade you will explore throughout the isles of Naviri to find a way to save the island realm.
In Tidal Blades 2: Rise of the Unfolders, each player takes the role of a new Tidal Blade. In this cooperative, narratively rich, board game, players will work together through 18 scenarios. Each hero is equipped with a Nexus grid, allowing them to build up actions and create powerful combos. Each turn you will choose one card to play, add it to an open space in your Nexus grid, and then activate all spaces in either the row or column containing the played card.
Throughout the campaign you will grow and enhance your character by adding cards to your action deck, leveling up your traits of Spirit, Focus, Resilience and Synergy, unlocking powerful skills, and gaining specialized Items to boost your action cards.
Featuring 18 scenarios with unique maps and 40+ hours of gameplay, Tidal Blade 2: Rise of the Unfolders invites you on a quest through the lush and vibrant lands of Naviri. Along the way, you will meet valuable allies, have chance encounters with Golfins, Iota, and other denizens of Naviri. Battle a seemingly endless army of monsters and enemies as you fight your way to the center of the Fold.
Will you solve the mystery of the Fold in time and save Naviri, earning your place among the Tidal Blades of legend?
The Exclusive Scenarios booklet (and the additional components for those scenarios) were packaged in a plain white box and shipped to backers of the Tidal Blades 2: Rise of the Unfolders Kickstarter campaign.
The book feature five extra scenarios not found in the retail edition. Each one is a stand alone sidequest players can attempt after the main story.
5 Scenarios:
1. Caiman’s Revenge – two level map, new creature (Guaracuda), 7 new cards)
2. Panic at Lamara – extra NPC (Miskie), 7 new cards
3. Shifting Sands – new creature (Sandaconda), 7 new cards
4. The Fire Mountain – 3 piece map, extra NPC (Angler), 7 new cards
5. Backer created scenario
