Played our first adventure in The Lord of the RIngs - Journeys in Middle Earth, 2 players: Legolas and Aragorn with the recommended roles. We chose the lowest difficulty "Adventure" and finished it succesfully, felt that "Normal" would've been doable also.
Oh cool! I wish my gf would be into adventure games! How is it playing with the app? Does that work well?
The app works well enough, used it on PC, I guess on phone it would be a lot harder to see everything and scrolling the map a lot. I find the icoography a bit small compared to the text, I have to see if the text size settings change icons as well.
At one point it mentioned a word I was thinking could be a keyword, but wasn't highlighted as such, I didn't find it in the rules in that moment. After the game I realized it was a specific status I got. Something to learn probably.
And it would be cool if flavor texts would be read out loud, not just the intro.
Maybe try with some property that she really likes? Or get here to like some IP that has adventure games, and when after watching movies / TV Shows, she wants more of that IP, show her the adventure games. 😈
Its a good idea. She only likes Harry Potter and I am not sure if there are any good adventure games in the HP ip. She loves reading herself but not in like a community setting so her mind wonders and she gets bored :D
Harry Potter: Hogwarts Battle might be a good intro. I haven't played it yet but it's supposed to be a decent deckbuilder that's easy to get started with.
In principle a good idea. We actually own it. Its not really an adventure game and I think as a Coop deckbuilder, its not that great. Its OK but its not a good game in our opinion. We have it because we like Harry Potter and the box looks nice in our collection. Thanks for the suggestion though!
