Fast-paced expansion of the original game

"The star sign" is the first expansion for "The Legends of Andor" and only with the basic game playable. The package contains some additional characters, small pieces of cardboard and 36 playing cards that add up to a legend. However, this looks at every game is completely different, because only one part of the card is used. Each one of six threats must be fought by the hero. In addition to the fire spirit, Krahder, Water Monster Irlok and a haunted temple also attack the evil creatures with a siege tower or a catapult. Five possible starting situations (especially the number and location of the creatures), five different tasks Prince and four types, such as what time the star sign is found, add even more variety. In addition, of course, much depends on how the dice fall. An additional map E complicates the profits. You should get used until three players. The strength of the threats will depend in each case on the number of total players or those who fight together against them, from. This is "Star Shield", regardless of the number of players interested.

... Old principle, new possibilities

The game is won when the castle as before - successfully defended against the creatures that solved the Prince task and the threat was defeated. This helps not only the star sign. So the heroes must choose three of the four gifts of Andori beginning. This support them by giving more time to take action, or will additional points, weakening the enemy in combat or repress creatures. There are also three wolves. The fight against this is relatively meaningless. If the leader of the pack, however, tamed with dice luck and strategy, so the wolves to be allies. The figures and materials are beautifully designed and fit very well to the main game. The different starting points, tasks and threats make the game very varied. Some rounds are much more difficult to master than others.
If a difficult initial situation - without a fight to land several figures due to the skip rule very quickly in the castle - a tricky task and a big threat together, then strategic thinking, collusion with the team and forward thinking are particularly in demand. Single-handedly, the legends are not winning, which makes the special charm of the game from.

With his extra material The little set offers plenty of additional gameplay. A game lasts about 60 to 90 minutes, with the structure as well as the main game takes a relatively long time to complete. This is partly because for stowing the game material only plastic bags available instead of Pappeinsatzes. The back of the board from the basic set comes here by the way is not used.

For Andor fans this extension is a must! With six threats alone the star sign has more variety than the main game. In theory there are 600 different card combinations with 36 cards. If that is too boring, you can look forward to "new heroes" now.
