The 7th Continent Classic Edition - Core Box - English Version - Boardgame - Cooperative - 1 to 4 Players - Adventure - Exploration - Survival

Really good and fun game!

Un gran juego cooperativo de exploración y misterio. Mecánicas sencillas y fáciles de aprender pero complicadas de dominar. Tendrás que pensar bien tus movimientos si quieres sobrevivir en la isla y deshacer la maldición junto a tus compañeros. Eso sí, deberás saber inglés para enterarte bien de todo. Buena compra.

7th Continent from Serious Pulp classic edition A game of exploration and adventure where you are a member of a expedition that has returned from the 7th continent, however whilst out there a series of curse have been placed on you. You in solo mode or you and others in your expedition need to return to the continent to lift the curse and rid yourself of the lingering nightmares that have dogged your dreams since your return. Nobody said it was going to be easy and the game takes you on a grand adventure retracing your steps through the continent seeking the answers to the curses. You need to explore, feed yourself and cross dangerous terrain which will challenge you and sap your stamina (provided by a deck of cards) Components……….good……..the kickstarter figurines are replaced by cardboard standees. Cards excellent quality and great artwork. The rules are fairly straight forward and rulebook is good. Quick reference card is excellent. Basic rules are easy to understand, the game play is where all the challenge is. You have a limited amount of stamina/health/morale which is represented by an action deck of 35 cards plus the curse cards plus the character cards. Each action be it movement, exploring, investigation or hunting requires you to use a number of these cards in order to generate the requirements of a success for your action, thus depleting your reserves. Your goal is to remove the curse, simple you say……anything but…..first of all you have no idea of how to lift the curse save for a very small clue from the curse clue card. Secondly food resources are few and far between, this being the main way to replenish your action deck. Thirdly the dead ends are clever and not always quickly apparent. All of these elements add up to a game that will challenge any board gamer. Fear not though there are rules to make the game easier in the core box and with the crystal expansion other modes to play ie purely exploring and even a traitor mode, for this reason I recommend purchasing The Crystals Song mini expansion. Game time is long but it is recommended that the game is played over a few sittings, to this end the game has a good save feature. This works well for me personally, but some people like to leave the game on the table. Game administration can be a little tedious having to file cards, but once you work out your system it is not really a problem. Replay ability of the game is there but even though each character has different abilities the main peril or success is largely dependent on the terrain cards and associated actions. However the curses in the core box alone will provide many hours of play and if you include the extra curse expansions you will get more than your monies worth. Fabulous game if you like adventure/exploring games this one is not to be missed.

My box did not come in shrink. If it's pre-owned I don't know if I have all the components now.

gran bel gioco da fare in solitaria. Ancora non sono riuscito a finire la prima maledizione e ci ho giocato 5 volte. Unica pecca: rimettere a posto tutto nella scatola che anche se ci sono solo carte praticamente, non ci stanno in piedi e tocca farsi da solo uno spessore per reggerle. Se vi piacciono gli esplorativi, a per voi. Occhio che è tutto in inglese.
