Old known repackaged,

Why is? The aim is to collect as much prestige over 4 generations of a family. This succeeds mainly by many descendants, but also real estate, title and economic success brings corresponding bonuses in the final classification.
These are available to the players own, often as executable during a round actions are available, as well as joint and accordingly only usable for a player action.

The positives: the box is well filled - a game board for each of up to four players, a common for all participants, to more than 260 playing cards, two dozen pieces and some Pappmünzen. The manual is 24 pages long and explains the game very well. The only logical gap that opens up when reading is explained in the golden rules at the end (Action: socialize). At the end of the friends card and nationality as well as their respective bonuses are once again listed separately.
The game has several solo variations, which are also treated in detail in the regulations.

The negatives: the gameplay is unfortunately known by now old and is presented here only in new package. "Lords of Waterdeep" for example, has similar principles, but this is about much more player-versus-player extended actions that "The Legacy" entirely absent. So the struggle against each other is limited to the early occupation of the joint actions and the Pinching possibly particularly required from opponent Friends cards. This before-disruptive actions or attacks would have been an interesting option on enemy pedigrees.
A game for the kitchen table is "The Legacy" is not also - have four players set up their pedigrees over four generations and showed the women during the game to be particularly fruitful, it needs plenty of space. And in accessing the joint actions in the middle of the table, it can easily happen that one with an unguarded wiper swirls cards pyramid built by another.
The guide is really well done, confused at first reading but with an unnecessary amount of historical description text so that the change between "can read" and "must read" sometimes on a passes.

Conclusion: A good game, but unfortunately a familiar gameplay that was merely repackaged. If you are short of such games on the shelf makes the current asking price of around 20 certainly no mistake. But anyone who has bought more frequently in recent years one or the other board game, is probably similar and should already have read on the homepage of Pegasus once the online version of the rules, before he presses the button Order.
