Product Information

Folklore Assistant' is on Google Play (I don't think it is available for Apple devices but please check.The icing on the cake though are the crafting and Rumor expansions that add oodles of extra content to spice up the game. Fans of games like Descent: Journeys in the Dark will feel right at home and will want give this a try. As the group travels across the world map, they’ll be faced with many “choose your own adventure” type encounters in which they’ll be forced to make a decision in regards to resolving that event. We had the opportunity to test out the death system first hand, which allows players to continue contributing to the game as a ghost once your health has dropped to zero. Once eager to see so many people bustling in the streets, you have grown jaded and keep an eye out for pickpockets.

Just don’t come in expecting something as thoroughly developed as what you may expect in a proper tabletop RPG or in the Witcher games/books. The next time you’re taking Folklore off the shelf simply pull the records out and deal the spell and item cards to the appropriate players and you’ll be good to go. If you are going to interrupt the story, I would rather it be to make a choice (which does happen in Folklore) and not simply to chuck some dice. The monster cards also include this sort of info too so you can quickly see what your heroes run up against.As you can see in the unboxing video above, upon opening Folklore you’ll find it’s jam packed with goodies. We made it to the final boss area and two of us were in the spirit world battling the shape-shifting lycan to rescue the hostage we were out to seek. Outside of Ninja Dice, GreenBrier is well known for producing epic games and Folklore is no different. Characters also have keywords and there are a slew of different items and such which can only be used by a character with that keyword.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. GBG should have cards that players can put in their tableau to show that they have these cool items and to serve as a reminder that they are there to be used (and to remind players that they take up space in their inventory). Please note: The second edition of Folklore: The Affliction contains cardboard standees instead of the plastic figures from the first edition. If the entire group dies there are actually rules regarding that too so the ongoing story doesn’t need to come to an end. The player to the right of the current leader will become the controller; leadership passes following every world map movement and if a battle moves onto another adventure map.These identifiers allow easy matching of dividers to boxes, in cases you have multiple games to sort, and a range of our products. Thankfully, there are rules to determine what monsters target what characters so it isn’t as if the controller just gets to pile on everyone but their own hero. The adventure map battles are meant to be highlights of the chapters too so they tend to be exciting nail biters rather than walks through the park.
